IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Some OF the democrats and bull
moosers have explained that the rea-
son they did not poll so many votes
primary day was because there was
nothing at stake. No. we suppose not,
says the Grundy Republican. The
Connolly Meredith fight and the Bash
or-Schenck scrimmage had no real ap-
peal to the people because the people
knew neither of the winners would
stand ghost of a show against Cum
MINIS in November. The machine gang
and the ring leaders can howl about It
but that is al THAT the interest will
amount to-a howl"

WHAT TEDDY IS AFTER.

[Waterloo Times-Tribune.J
Mr.. Roosevelt's goal IS the White
House. He feels history I'll not be
complete until he makes it-if he can
not make it, various attempts will help
some. So we have him doing engi-
neering, scouting and making plans
and specifications with view to dis
covery Of the quickest, safes. and mos,
direct route 1t may lead thru the
governorship Of New York"

Because there isn't much land in

sign that the price Of Grundy coun-
ty land Is at standstill by any
means" says the Grundy Democrat.
Just the opposite is the case. Land
here looks so good that the owners
don't want to part with 1t. The new
farms that are on the market are priced
from s25 to $40 an acre higher than
they could have been bought for year

My Bear Sir: -
A copy of a circular letter you

ing to their prejudices, the appeal
being based upon absolute falsehood.

President Charles w. Briles of the
East Central state ormal, had occas-
ion recently to address DIR. A.E. Win
ship, editor OF the Jorunal Of Edu-
cation relative to some educational
policies which he has under consider
alton. Mr.. Winship is recognized as
one Of the leading authorities in ed
ucational matters IN the United
States. BY the First of September,
this year, he will have delivered a
series Of lectures in forty-seven nor
NAL schools and universities, cover
ing territory from Maine to Caiifor-
MIA.
He recently delivered a series of
lectures to the students Of the sum
mer School at the University of Ok
iahoma, and while Aore he took oc-
casion to carefully study the educa-
tional system OF the state.
In his letter to President Briles
he made the following very compli-
mentar ystatement relative to the ad-
ministration Of Superintendent r. H.
WILSON,.
II have been much interested in
the achievements of State Superin-
! tendent Wilson. He had as difficult
task as any state superintendent
have known.
II was not sanguine in his success
nor was l sure that he was wise in
his first heroic efforts, but am en-
tirely sure today that there are nc
politics in the State University or
in the other institutions which
know. am sure these institutions
are far above what they we're when
he took them in hand. i think no
one familiar with conditions has any
fear as to their professional stability
and proficiency.

amity not to have him reelected"
