The present temperance upheaval
Is q revolt OF the American conscience

Another thing that has stirred the
public against the liquor traf1c has
been the relationship between the
politicians and the saloon. II 10 an

cities OF this country were ruled by

In the 20 years between 1870 and 1890

THE CLAIM IS sosH.

The Des Moines Capital protests
against speaking Of Iowa as a demo-
cratic state. And the Capital is en-
tireiy justified in its protest by the
facts. Iowa Is about as democratic as
Methodist conference is pro saloon.
Iowa. along with other solid repub-
iican states permitted Wilson to win
by default for reasons which have
been canvassed thoroughly. But when
the victory is analyzed it was not a
democratic victory at that. Wilson
won Iowa on his own merits and the
dement's of others. That he was not
representative of his party SO far as
concerns the election is made very
plain by the vote in the Second dis
trict where an Iowa democrat of rep
resentative democracy in his district
scraped thru in a democratic district
by the skin of his teeth with the presi-
dent pleading for him and Champ
Clark stumping the district in his be-
half.
Wilson and Bryan have many friends
in Iowa. Not because they are DEM
ocrats but in spite of it. Because they
are men with the idea Of the gen.
eral good uppermost. But neither of
them could have beaten an approved
republican and ii is extremely doubt
full If either could have beaten Taft
with Roosevelt out Of it
1t is mere bosh to refer to Iowa
as a democratic state. Iowa is re-
publican and by the old majority when
Iowa republicans conclude to pull to-
gether in the harness of a progressive

elections principle. The enabling act
passed the senate without roll call
and with only one dissenting vote, aitho
some OF the southern senators made an
effort to restrict it to elections, hold
ing that the federal government had no
right to say how the states should
nominate any candidates.
It u question whether the pro-
posed law would be necessary in the
absence Of special legislation by the
states. In the recent Maryland case a
United States senator was elected at a
popular election called by the governor
without any authority in state law. The
senate accepted this election as legiti-
mate because 1t carried out the spirit of
the direct elections amendment. On the
"a me principle the election Of United
States senator In any state by methods
applying to state officers could be ac-
cepted by the senate as legitimate.
Obviously. however. it is better to re-
move all doubt by the enactment of
a law giving the federal governments
sanction to such elections.
The matter il OF no special interest
In Iowa, where the late legislature
made provisions for the application
OF the popular elections amendment.
The proposed short cut will be appre-
ciated in South Dakota, where the
legislature adjourned In 1913 without
having passed such legislation before
the seventeenth amendment became ef.

A CONVERT TO PROGRESSIVE POLICIES

The Cedar Rapids Republican has
come to the conclusion that:
We can not have a united and fight
ing party when selfish leaders insist
On carrying the banner in the front
ranks. The republican party is a
party OF principles, not of self -ap-
pointed. selfish, and revengeful lead
ers. The great principles of the re-
publican party have been everlastingly
right They are right today. The party
can be trusted to be as true as in the
days Of Abraham Lincoln to the rights
of al men.
Let US ponder on some Of these
things. Let US forgive and forget; sub
merge personal ambitions. personal,
aninlosittes; make every honorable per-
sonal sacrifice for the good Of the
greatest and most benehcent party the
country has ever known. If all who
believe in republican principles will
act IN this way, taereii be no difficulty
in the party coming into it's own.
This we may take as meaning that
the Republican has arrived at the place
where it Is ready to accept the pro-
gressive side OF republicanism as the
real basis for reorganization. The Des
Moines Capital came to that conclusion
long ago and SO announced itself and
the Capital was the standard bearer Of
the old regime until it came face to
face with the inevitable conclusion that
progressive policies must rule and
that the old guard must bow to the de-
mand Of the rank and file Of republi-
canism.
For some time the Cedar Rapids
paper has shown evidences Of the new
spirit it now proclaims more or less
openly. II has approved Senator Cum
minis and agreed with his policies
many times during the past few
months. Its definite conclusion to for
get personal amin osities, TO fall in with
the purposes and hopes of the republi-
can party in Iowa as expressed over
and over in primaries and elections is
good hearing and may be taken to
mean that the Republican Is ready to
support the principles of government
thus established s the sense of Iowa
republicanism and the men who have
had and have now the confidence of the
republicans of the state under the rule
Of majority. Consequently it is to be
presumed that the Republican will be
for Cummins for senator for more than
any other leader Cummins has repre-
sented the feeling the Republican ex-
presses. He has not been one of those
selfish, self appointed and revengeful
leaders. Indeed it woud be hard to find
an instance of political leadership that
has had less of personal revengefulI-
! ness with as much reason for resent
ment or one where the vital principles
! of Lincoln republicanism have been
more sacredly guarded. For the high
| est principle of the Lincoln republi
canism and of the republican party
spirit is a. it has always been, the well
fare Of the majority.
The Cedar Rapids Republican has
been slow to turn: it is not the less
welcome. It's conclusion is a wise orc
and for the good Of the party and the
general good.

'dInpalSn. he pretended to know
mutual friends Of hers and as the train
neared Des Moines suggested that he
would take her to his sisters home for
he night. that they would see the city
he next day and 60 to the show. and
hat she would resume her journey
he next night and tell her husband
md friends she had missed connections.
At first she spurned any such sug-
sestfons but as the train was late and
inally tired out by his opportunities,

The case was such a fragrant at
empt to debauch an innocent woman
hat travelling men gave the conductor
tip and when she left the train, he
allied her back ordered her to stay
N the train while her companion
skulked away. The woman resumed

'aluable lesson never again to listen to

itrangers and a home that would un-
loubtedly been wrecked. will be a
happy one and the woman will thank
he conductor many times for having
,nterferred with her plans.
An astounding feature of ii was that
the man was accompanied by his son,
l bright and precious lad OF six or
more years, which ought to have
weighed against even thought of
iebauchery. If the conductor had not
acted, other men on the train would
md charge of white slavery preferred.
One would hardly suppose that such
1yenous attempts would be made on
-ailroad trains in Iowa but the only
reason for the recital Of the incident
s the warning it may contain to young
girls and young women to spurn the
frst suggestion of any stranger when
travelling and promptly ask the con-
ductor for protection.

they were of the elders or alternated

were young folks. There you were left
with kerosene lamp and a chilly out

was need Of haste on a. cold night.
You piled in and shot your feet down
to the soapstone motherly hands had
placed for them an hour before. Shivers
ran up and down your spine, but as
the warmth grew and the affrighted
circulation crept back to finger and

The parlor bedroom has changed

modern home is a pleasant place, airy.

room in the house. Think over the
rooms you have slept in when away
from home and it will be hard to recall
any that were not warm in winter with
opportunity for ventilation and cool
and breezy in summer. We don't
shut them up as we used to do what
ever Mr.. Kepford may say in his ca ger
ness to impress.
Nevertheless, the old time spare
room with all its faults is fine thing
TO remember. It was a sort Of an old
fashioned hospitality and neighborli-
ness that hasn't been improved upon in
the march OF progress however much
we may have learned otherwise.
