TERMS:
MEREDITH AND CONNOLLY.

Some grouching is heard in demo-
cratic circles over the advent of Mr..
Meredith's hat into the senatorial ring.
II Is suggested that he stood off and
on in the offing until Connolly had de-
cided to run and then sailed boldly
ana huccaneerngly in over the hulk of
Fred Whites candidacy TO Join battle
with Connolly 1t is limited that the old
fight between the conservative demo-
Gratis and the progressives is thus re-
Vived and rekindled. At any rate Mr..
Meredith's announcement that he would
run seems to have fallen like thirteen
inch shell in the Connolly camp
Why shouldn't both Meredith and
Connolly run if they choose? Its demo-
cratic TO have more than one candidate
To be sure it makes trouble for Judge
Wade upon whom the kingship of the
Iowa democracy has not set any too
lightly OF late. But let EN- run.
Connolly worried around long time
before he came out Meredith dropped
a line here and there before ne Sc
lected & fishing place. Meredith thought
strongly Of the governorship but there
were difficulties in. the way which
seemed too hard 20 climb and too far
TO go around. So he sat in at the Con-
molly table and called for stack Of
blues
1t is democratic contest, fight
in the household. Mr.. Meredith IS a
wealthy publisher Who has made al
most as much money selling farm
paper and advertising space in il as
q railroad has made carrying farm
products. The Nevada Representative
calls Connolly "a bright young con-
gressional accident which can scarce
ly be improved Upon as distinctive
and descriptive appella ton. Both
men are keen enough TO carry on a
fine fight for the nomination and both
are rich enough to afford it. Let EN-
run.
And while they are running make
the comparison between the service
ability Of these men and the senator
the winner viii oppose Compare the
difference in service rendered to the
state and the nation. Go over the rec
ord. Stand them side by side.

Somebody saw him talking to an old
Jewish woman one day, q type Of the
ghetto. He was asked Of her identity.
He said she was an old woman whom
he had employed. Later it was found
that she was his mother. She had done
all she could for him and had come

son. And the strong man who could
lift an OK was weak enough 70 deny the
mother who bore him. So when men

Listen: if there is on earth or any
where else a highest loyalty it is that
owed by boy to his mother. Beyond
his duty of affection and loyalty to all,
others is that sanctity of tenderness
from her son due to her. No weak
ness compares with that which forgets
a mother, no strength compensates for
any neglect of her. Men know all this.
They learn it sometimes in the sharp
school of unavailing regret.
Obedience, love, protection. kindness,
loyalty, respect and venerati3n are due
the mother from her SON. Don't for

the NAN VINO DENIED HIS MOTHER.

The name Of a man came up the

story. They had been at the same
school. The man Of who the story is
told was q great athlete. As strong
man he excelled. His way thru college
was mostly paid by exhibitions Of
strength and athletic feats On vauie-
vile stages. etc. Among one Of his
stunts was the lifting Of steer free

WHY THE STRAIN?

Boone y
Fer what reason are the mouth
pieces Of the so-called progressive
party of Iowa making such strenuous
efforts to have ii appear that every
office in the state is to have pro-
gressive candidate? There is no call
for il in Iowa, that is very plain,
Iowa was progressive state before
the progressive party vas ever
thought Of and the progressive repuo-
iicans have filed the bill very nicely In
the past.
Becaue some one In New York
thinks that Iowa should wave the pro-
gressive flag from governor down TO
constable is no sign Iowa should 90
il. We can have enough progressive
officers on the republican ticket. Inc
News-Republican is of the opinion
that the many interviews given out
by progressive leaders in Des MONIES
are wishes father to the thought. The
fact Of the matter is that there Is no
call for progressive candidates ~
most Of the counties OF Iowa, ana
for that reason there Will be none
There Is no pressing demand. Iowa
became progressive away back In the
DAYS of Governor Cummins and there
is no reason to suppose tnat an! man
bearing the progressive brand would
make a better local officer than re.
publican, This save the countr!
cry by putting up progressive canal
dates for constable is getting to Dc
! somewhat wearisome. The state o.
iowa il naturally progressive repup-
| ,ican and will remain so in the com.
! ing election. Any move to"are
| strenrthening the third party simply
| means weakening OF the progressive
republicans.

BUCKING CLARKE.
gredar Rapids Republican,

However, Governor Clarke Is recefv-
ING va believe a great deal Of unjust
blame for these matters. Perhaps he
has invited this blame by stepping
out and assuming the responsibility OF
defending these acts, as he has done
in recent speeches.
And, moreover the democrats IN
the legislature were just as much in
VOWED in these transactions as the
republicans Capitol extension was
effected by democrats to as great an
extent as by republicans The demo-
Gratis cannot very well make THIS
marty issue. unless they want to con-
denim all such democrats as voted lot
these things now complained OF,
which includes a majority OF the
democrats in the last Legislature.
Rut &c there is any considerable
number Of republicans who believe
that Governor Clarke should not be re-
nominated. the best thug for them to
do would be to bring out a candidate
TO represent their views and then SUD
init ii frankly to the June primaries
agreeing to abide by the decision
of the party in that primary election.
TO such course there can be no Cd
lection at all. Let the differences De
frankly and fairly discussed and lei
the decision rest with the republican
voters. That Is the only appeal pos
sibIe and the only referendum that
can be made effective now. 1t will De

the theory of eugenics as tragic
blunder, and said it engendered
moral mendicancy. He said the sys-
tenn sought to improve the race upon
the assumption that men were similar
to so many brutes.
This huge scheme OF eugenics IS .
tragic laundering with sacred things,
he said. ALREADY it has yielded cor
rupting bulk Of salacious talk about
sex hygiene and sex instruction in
the public schools The magazines
overflow with the vile current Of de-
moralizing slust, the theaters are play
ing to the sex motive and there Is
such an accumulation Of the fact of sex
as to defiIe the minds Of generation
Of young people.
The whole disgusting movement
rests on the assumption Of mans
samenes with the brutes. It leaves en-
tirely out Of account mans freedom OF
will, by which divine characteristic he
is lifted infinitely above any and all
brutes. It thus degrades the true
spirit of many by ignoring 1t.
