London. June 1.-THE king goes
to bed early as a rule, but he was so
interested in the international polo
game at Meadowhrook yesterday that
he sat up until midnight at Windsor
Castle to await the result of the game
which was sent to him by telephone
from London.
The victory of the British team Is
printed conspicuously In all the morn
ing papers, but the news reached here
TOO late for any general comment. The
Daily Telegraph however. devotes Its
principal editorial to an expression of
qualification at the remarkable trt-
umph of the British team The paper
pays a hearty tribute TO American
chivalry for the postponement OF the
opening game.

ward with his work in the senate and
MS purpose TO assist in restoring the
republican party to strength and power
tho his personal interests might lead
him to different conclusion
Senator Cunmins' statement is a
dignihed definition OF his attitude. He
merely calls attention to his position
on the leading issues Of the hour, to his
record which is plain before rhe people
Of Iowa and says to republicans that
MS opinions are We'll known and that
the question whether he has been right
or wrong is up to them, adding that
there has never been a constituency
better qualified to enter jude ent upon
candidate for office than you are to
determine whether ought again to be
elected to the senate of the United
States"
1t is typically a Cummins statement,
plain. and open and definite. 1t has
been the wont Of that statesman from
the beginning of his activity In politics
to push his convictions on the table
and put his candidates. upon them.
saving in effect. Here are my policies,
my opinions, my hopes and my pur-
poses. Take or refuse me with them"
There the question stands. 1t Is up
to republicans, left as always with
them to decide. The opportunity is for
a closer harmony within the party than
has existed Of late years in Iowa and
for the movement looking toward the
rehabilitation Of the natiOna party.
SO 1t stands, we all know Cummins,
understand his position on public af-
fairs, are learning how magnihcently
he stands in the opinion of other
states and beginning to hear clearly
above the clamor of disgruntled in
terests the appreciation In which this
man and statesman Is held from one
end Of this country to the other.
The appeal is to the rank and file OF
republicanis7n. The senator goes
! quietly back to his work leaving his
fortunes with his friends and the
! friends Of the republican party.

democrats would not get to first base
in the political game Of 1914. What
has Meredith to be ashamed Of and
why should he protest as SO much?
Also the Kenyon incident: why
should Meredith and the democracy
view with such unmitigated horror
commendatory expression regarding
Kenyon. Keyon has made good
Some Of the matters he has urged and
is urging should appeal TO higher sense
Of democracy as allegedly represent
tative Of common rights and popular
rule and the sovereignty Of the COM
monal.y in government. To be sure
Kenyon is the sponsor of the Webb
Kenyon law, but there are thousands
Of democrats in Iowa who approve that
legislation. Surely Mr.. Meredith does
not make the repeal Of thai law part
Of his appeal to democrats voters.
If So why not say so?
There is altogether too much mega
ton and too little affirmation about
the Meredith candidacy. Democratic
voters have q right to know: and re-
publican voters would very much like
to know where Mr.. Meredith stands
on the prominent questions " hich SEN
ators are expected to settle. So far,
the affirmation has consisted of Mr..
Meredith's personal pulchritude and
business success and the like Of that:
but where does Meredith stand? What
is he pledged to or against? What
may be expected Of him If he We're by
any possibility to be elected senator?
Those are it would seem questions
more important and germane TO his
campaign than expla nations and de-
mails that he never voted for pro-
gressive statesman or commended a
clean candidate outside of the mis-
managed and personal Ill erty" led
democracy Of the long lean period Of
that party in this state. Ceasing eK-
PLANTATION, denial and accusation of
small and perfunctory weaknesses

molly come across with somewhat af-
tirmative Of their programs were either
to be finally successful in landing in

promptly by the business men and citi-
zens with a reward Of $500 for definite
Information as TO the perpetra tors. The
probabilities are that those who COM
mltted the outrage are worthless fell
lows about town and that they repre-
sent very little besides rage of the bot
tie contingent over the cutting OF of
their supplies. but the investigation
may unearth somebody higher up in
one way and lower down in another
than the persons who smashed the
plate glass windows.
At any rate the vandalism has
brought the illicit whiskey business of
Hampton to a showdown. Some tim es
TO force decent men to line up for de-
cency militantly. Nobody has hit the
booze traffic in Hampton harder
blow than the tough who threw rocks
thru the Chronicle window. The clean
ing up will now go OF to finish I'M
less the temper and character of
Hampton has changed since this editor
knew it and its people and adjacent
farm owners as one Of the finest COM
munities in the state.
Strange it is also, that such COM
munities will wait and palter and avoid
trouble by giving a gang Of bottle
nosed and ottle-drinktng absorbers of
corn juice and charity SO much leeway.
The Chronicle has the full sympathy
Of the Times Republican. The Chron-
icle is now fully initiated into the
league OF Iowa anti booze newspapers.

SALINGER AND HIS LAW.
TSac SUM-

[Sac SUM-
Ben l. Salinger Is seeking election
as judge Of the supreme court of Iowa
under law which he framed. 1t seems
somewhat strange that an Iowa legis-
lature would enact law framed by
Salinger but it did SO, and the law has
been found to be full Of jokers. One
of them is the provision that the name
Of candidate for judge of the SUI
preme court can appear on the ballot
only on counties in which he receives
the signatures of a certain per cent OF
the voters-a most absurd provision
which will keep the names of at least
two Of the candidates from appearing
on the ballot in all counties at the en-
suing primary. The reader may be sure
that Salinger didn't overlook this lit
tie restriction when he had his petit
ton prepared. One feature Of the law
that is likely to bring 1t into the courts
as to it's constitutionality Is the pro-
vision that the non-partisan ballot
shall appear on each of the election
ballots. AS the prohibition party hao
no ballot this year in the primary cleo
ton it is evident that the members Of
that party will be disfranchised in the
matter OF voting for judges Of the su-
preme court II 1t shall prove to be
unconstitutional on any ground and
thereby become void, here Is at least
one newspaper that will rot be sorry.
