sAvAGEs EXPERIENCE.

Savage has learned from experience
what lot of the leading men Of
Iowa tried TO tell him some weeks
ago. But Savage preferred to listen
to the siren song Of less than hun
dred sore headed republicans rather
than to wha, the history Of repubn-
can politics In Iowa for the past
dozen years might have taught him.
or to what he might have learned
from the more recent examples OF the
wrecking OF such political ships as
those launched by LATE Young or
Congressman Lacey. The Savage
candidacy has been aptly explained
in the following words from the edi-
tor Of the Dubuque TimesJournal
who has been a member Of the old
guard" in times past Questioning
the sincerity of the Savage candidacy
the Dubuque editor says: The method
employed in attacking Mr.. Cu,nmins
Is strong enough evidence that the in
fuences behind the Savage candidacy
are not interested in either the future
OF the republican party or the welfare
Of III people Of Iowa. hu, rather In the
interests which Senator cummins has
for years combarted."

inism" IN paradoxes and rhetorical
flights might find rest and peace in
studying femipism pragmatically-in
Chicago. for instance. during the COM
ing biennial?
Tens of thousands of women are
coming to this great national congress
of American club women. Millions OF
women are directly or indirectly repre-
sented by the federation holding this
congress. Hundreds OF addresses and
resolutions are to be made and debat-
ed Hundreds of vital questions-ques-
tions that concern not women alone.

he vigorously canvassed. Many OF the
delegates and leaders are earnest suf-
fragists: many are benevolent sympa-
thisers with the equal suffrage cause:
many are opposed to active and sys-
tenatic participation by women in prac-
teal politics. Can there be greater OPP
portuni1y for the intelligent study OF
"feminism"?
1t is perfectly safe prediction that
none of the fears and imaginings. of
the violent anti -feminists will be even
remotely justified by the biennial.

DISPENSE WITH CROCODILE TEARS.

York. the Colfax man who has been
a suspect in the matter of the mys-
terioas death Of Banker Wheelock is
under sentence OF year and day IN
prison for violation Of the white slave
law. York paid at least part OF the ex-
penses Of a woman who came to Dies
Moines TO meet him for an imm oral
purpose.
There is no doubt that the congress
men who voted for the law tailed TO
see that 1t would bring under It such
cases az this The case is distinguished
from white slavery as we understand
the term. This was no girl toiled away
from her home and protectors to be
thrown into the mill OF white slavery
but a woman no better than the man
she came to meet and who came 10
meet hin, willingly. Her crime was as
great as his and her character no bet
ter. So far as any crime against her
there was no crime. She ought to have
drawn an equal term with York.
But at that there need be no naudlin
sympathy with the man or any outcrE
against the operation Of the law he
got what he had coming. So far as the
laws are concerned he might have been
sent UP under Iowa statutes and the
woman sen. along. The only pity Is
that the gobbleuns didn't get her too
The federal law seems to be accom-
p,ishirs nha. the Iowa statutes were
Intended to do and which have been
nulnaed by the prosecutors who have
charge OF law enforcement. 1t is the
difference between federal prosecution
and local prosecution There need be
no crocodile tears over York or any
other man who makes adultery pas
time. Wherever the law fails 10 make
men better, i. answers a good public
and moral purpose when It makes 'aem
afraid

FUNNY JUSTICE.


That was funny Justice tina; the
school board at Alta dealt out. "A young
cub went to the Office OF the superin-
tendent with the avowed purpose o.
thrashing him. The superintendent de-
tended himself as well as he could but
did not seem to be making much head
way. Finally the janitor interfered in
the interest of peace and harmony. Be-
sides, he did not want the place
unused up" as the work Of cleaning
Up the gore would fall TO his lot. The
official and the cub were summoned
before the board, and the superintend-
ent was reprimanded, while the cub
was suspended for six months. His
sentence was RENTED during good be-
havior. Now, was the superintendent
censured because he defended himself.
or perhaps because he did not defend
himself with sufficient skill and vigor.
II he had knocked out his assailant
in the first or second round. perhaps
that honorable board would have
thought twice before they ventured to
reprinand the superintendent for do
ing what was his plain duty. What
would they have said if the superin-
tendent had offered no resistance and
had let the young bully pound him into
Jelly?

The absurd ballots a canvas Of the
election disclosed impresees the think
ing man strongly with the conviction
that many mans election or defeat Is
due more to chance than to intelligent
study of his fitness by the voters.
Dozens Of ballots were obviously voted
thoughtlessly. Republican candidates
names appeared written upon demo-
cratic and progressive ballots, and vice
versa. One individual drew a demo-
cratic ballot and simply wrote the name
Decker across the face of il. Such
childish antics by intelligent voters"
seem hardly credible. The mistakes
made in this election should prove a
lesson to the voters. When the fall
election comes he should have studied
the character and record Of each ind-
vidual candidate and be prepared to
vote with intelligence.

harvest the crops. Kansas alone wants
10, 900 men for its winter wheat. This
is reminder that the problem OF md
ing good agricultural abor is a press
ing one and grows more so.
The farm hand has been in the pas.
a very sturdy and dependable type. AS
featured in the rural dramas, ne
looked rustic and stupid. On an aver
a e. tho. he had fair intelligence and
no end Of capacity for days WORK.
He was not very ambitious, but was
gifted with a philosophical tempera-
ment. He and the hired girl ate at
the frs, and only table With the fam
lily. the food was good and abundant,
he was sure OF his future. AS he spent
little for clothes and nothing ios
amusements. he usually had fair saw
ings bank account.
A farmer was remarking the other
day that this type IS about extinct.
Instead, he now has TO depend on row
ing Young fellows AT the best they
look al farm work as a mere stepping
stone to something else. At the worst
they want TO earn money for extrava-
gan. spending. Last summer he had
young man who left him with -S1oo in
back and asked for work again. say
ing that his money had all been spent.
In many localities foreign speaking
help is all tina, can be had II you
send them for rake they get mon
key wrench. Those that have much
Intelligence usually prefer TO buy a lit
tie land on mortgage and be their own
boss. Also they prefer to remain In
the company of their own people. One
is rarely contented unless there are
others speaking the same tongue near
by.
The department of agriculture ough.
not TO look at this as any mere tenn
porary problem of harvesting the pres
ent crop Of wheat and corn. 1t is
situation that the farmer finds more
and more difficult TO meet, and one
that calls for thoughtful and practical
study.

LAST WEEK IN BUSINESS.

Adyices from the leading commercial
and industrial centers are more OPP
t,mistic and the improved sentiment -
reflected in some expansion In the vol
ume OF trade. Recent favorable wealth
er has AFFORDED retailers an opportun-
,,y to reduce accumulated stocks OF
merchndise, and both tobotns ana
wholesale departments have conse-
quently benefited.
Particularly favorable dispatches are
received from New England, where
mills and factories are moro actively
+, EMPLOYED. OF late, there has been
marked increase in the number OF or
de-s placed with manufacturers. and
there ,s much less idle machinery than
month ago. In leather conditions
display some improvement, altno con-
ce.s,ona In prices are still noted. Dis
tribut!on Of footwear at all retain
shows an increase, owing to the pre-
vailing higher temperatures.
There is a healthier tone to the dry
goods market. and business in various
Departments is quite large. More or
ders have been booked by manu1ae-
,urers of staple cotton goods and quo
ta.ions on new business are more sat
:sfactory. A better inquiry IS noteo
for wool, which has lost none OF IT'S
former strength. Receipts from the
new clip have enlarged. and buyers,
consequently, are afforded a better Sc
lection.
The best feature of the :ron and steel
situation is the recent buying OF pig
iron by leading cast iron pipe interests

vera involved. A further curtailrnent
Of production is indicated and prac-

Nevada Representative.l


Particularly in our judgment is the
republican party fortunate also in It's
nomination for senator and for COVER
nor The party has came together in
support OF Senator Cummins as ii has
never come together in his behalf be-
fore. His majority over Savage is as
overwhelming as his friends hoped
and as men generally interested in the
reunion and welfare of the republican
party anticipated. The senator repre-
sents above any other man IN Iowa the
general cause of republican getting-to-
gether. while Mr.. Savage. tho possessed
Of abundant highly attractive person
al qualities, stood for a revival Of
auarrels that ought to be put aside
for keeps. and the verdict as between
the two men is on the side OF party
horse-sense.
Similar is the verdict as to the gov
