CONFESSIONAL AS TO cummlss.

The nomination of Senator Cummins
by the republican party IF Iowa is as it
should be and it was to ne expected.
Cummins is easily the biggest man in
the republican organization of this
state today. He is one Of the foremost
leaders of public affairs in the nation
and his name at the head of the re-
publican ticket in the fall elections will
help every republican candidate on the
ticket pull thru with the votes he
needed.
These are the facts which are adj
mitted by those who once opposed
him within the party MS we'll as by
those who have supported him but,
when stated In these columns may. of
course, be colored somewhat by fifteen
years OF support and political COLA
bora ton.
Comes now the editor Of the Du-
buque Times Journal on the day before
the primary with his testimony. In
the days of Allison this editor held the
Dubuque postoffice and until this year

rs. O. S."

How narrow the world grows as one
invention after another bridges space
and destroys distance and annihilates
time. careless captain thrusts his
vessel against great ship bearing a
multitude, flush and happy with the
sight of the shores Of home and antici-
patton OF the greetings of reunion with
friends and relatives, and before the
swift waters flowing in thru the
mangled side may whelm the ship the
wireless sends it's vail across land and
sea, pleading for aid above 500 miles of
sea and shore. Cut to the waters edge
the mighty liner went down like stone
but her death cry rang in the ears of
continent as she went down. Out on
the painless wastes and in the fogs that
shroud the Banks the S. O. S. thrilled
and those who go down to the sea in
ships knew that death was upon the
waters. From cities the slim spires
pointing skyward caught the terror
from the air and those who crowd the
streets stood appalled, in the presence
of a tragedy. Marvels of marvels, the
conquest of space and time and dis
lance that voices the call of the help
less and dying and turns the prows of
vessels toward the center of 1000
mile radius.
Imagine the helplessness that all must
have felt when they knew that dis
aster involving thousands of human
beings lay beyond their power to give
aid 1t was as tho multitude stood to
see the ship 90 down and the struggling
victims stretching vain hands beyond
succoring finger tips.
But it does bring help. When time
permits the new marvel of the TWEEN
teth century gathers about calamity
the swift fleets of succor. 1t has robbed
the ocean of half its terror. given the
assurance that help is coming with
every nerve strained to rescue and that
none sink into the depths with bub-
bling groan, unheard, unknelled, un-
coffined and unknown 1t Is part Of
the new knowledge. of the later under
standing and a tie in the rising brother
hood of men.
What shall the end be? Shall we
some day match the wireless with the
wings of rescue and feeter aid? He

miraculous in modern discovery and
invention.

exrRAyAeAncE AND DEEAULrERs.

a sequel to extravaganza is embezzle-
ment. Forty millions of dollars is a
conservative estimate Of the loss to en-
ployers. estates. and municipal. county
and state governments last year thru
defalcation, according to a surety COM
pany which does national business.
Chief among the causes assigned for
the alarming growth of wrongful ap-
preparation of other peoples money is
extravaganza in home life. Meager
altho the two sources of the evil are
closely related. Too many men and
women fail to differentiate between the
high cost of living and the cost of high
living. The workman who by some
hook or crook manages to support a
family on 4 wage of $50 or $50 per
month is not numbered among the de-
faulters. He hasn't the opportunity to
rob his employer, for one thing, and ac-
cepts his humble place in life without
thought of attempting to climb the So
clai ladder. lie may nave afnDltlOnS,
with little hope of their ultimate reali-
cation.
Statistics compiled by the surety
company show that clerks, managers
and cashiers-men drawing salaries
from SIS to 500 per month-make up
the larger part of the defaulters. 1t is
found that these men attempted to sup
port themselves and families on scale
beyond their incomes. Many had ex-
travagant wives with social ambitions
or entire lack of ability to manage the
household on an economical basis
Autoitis afflicted others. The men
failed or did not try to check the finan-
cial outgo for finery and fast living. or
perhaps joined in the extravagances.
The only remedy suggested is more
care on the part of employers and pub
lie officials IN checking the accounts Of
trusted employees, thus serving notice
on them that they must live within
their incomes or seek employment else
where.

political exisency has always de-

political exigency has always de-
manded that the Dubuque paper op-
pose Cummins. The result has been
that Cummins has always been COM
PEELED to win his republican favor over
the vote Of Dubuque county Comes
now this man free from partisan bias
and free from office holding obligation
saying:
Mr.. Savage proudly proclaims that
he is making the race for the good OF
the party; wholly inconsistent state
ment He is making the race because
he Is being used as catspaw by
minute portion of the republican party
who have adopted a rule or ruin policy
and who are strongly out of line with
the views Of the average republican or
today"
Without partisan love for Cunmins,
without feeling Of hostility toward
Savage but championing the cause OF
its party that newspaper explains:
IF Mr.. Savage entered the campaign
in good faith and while entertaining
the hope that he might win this news
paper would feel inclined to speak
kindly of him. But 1t is so manifest
that he is making the race solely at the
behest Of few disgruntled members
of the party we can not but express the
fear that a vote for him is a vote Tor
the sinister influences which have been
fighting the interests of the people for
generations. The method employed in
attacking Mr.. Cummins is strong
enough evidence that the influences
behind the Savage candidacy are not
interested in either the future of the
republican party or the welfare of the
people of Iowa, but rather in the in
terests which Senator Cummins has
for years combatted."
The above testimony has weight to-
day because it is free from partisan
ship for Cummins but it is introduced
lust now that the readers of this news
paper may know that the things that
have been said about Mr.. Ci,mmins in
these columns are admitted 20 be true
by those who once denied them. The
men who publish the Times Republi-
can said them about Cummins fifteen
years ago when the Sioux City Journal
and the Des Moines Capital said the
same thing. When the editors of those
newspapers peeved because of con-
ficting political ambition changed
their policies and abused Cumnins the
men who publish the Times Republi-
can kept on telling the truth about
Cummins Now the Capital has let up
on Cummins and the Sioux City Jour
nal will do the same before long and
whenever the confessional takes place
the facts admitted as to Cummins will
be as we have always stated them and
as the Dubuque paper now returns to
state them that the interests which
have been lighting Cummins are SIMS
ire influences which have been fighting
the interests of the people for genera
tons" Get that now for political
newspapers change,

Topics of the Times

One of the mirth provoking incidents
of this campaign has been the Dubuque
Times journal proving TO the Nan
chester Press that Burton Sweet Is a
progressive and using for its evidence
the Press own opposition to him
few years ago because he was too
much of a progressive. Times, like
automobiles, do change.
Now the question is. would the worn
en- have done their duty at the pri-
mares better than the men did had
they been permitted to vote?
Say what you will about he primary
method of nominating it causes vastly
more publicity and information for the
general voter than the carrying Of
ward caucuses ever did.
The time to settle the preference OF
the people of Iowa for ,heir supreme
court will come in November. The law
required the nomination of double
ticket at this time.
Can it be possible that wage scale
for coal miners is about TO be negoti-
a,ed without threatened strike and
an actual boost in coal prices?
In order that we may appreciate the

leo with 1000 men as no cavalry troop
could think of doing.

T. r. FOR FUSION.
ISioux City Lournal.l

The program of the progressive
party in the campaign next fall, as
outlined tentatively at the close OF
the Oyster Bay conference. does not
close the door against such fusion
arrangement as Editor Sem has been
proposing in South Dakota. 1t is an
nounced that Colonel Roosevelt mas not
yet committed himself 10 the program
which conflicts with his past procla-
nations, but it goes without saying
that the feeler would not have been
sent out without his approval. 1t is
clear that the proposed program was
devised with special reference to the
existing situation III New York. III,
however, the third party goes into a
fusion arrangement in New York. it
can not refuse to entertain similar
propositions elsewhere. When finally
ratified by Colonel Roosevelt, repub-
lican- progressive fusion program IN
1914 may be accepted as strong pre-
sumptive evidence that the colonel will
bid for a similar alliance on national
scale in 1915.

WHY COAL IS HIGH.

dubuque Telegraph Herald
The coal railroads. so-called from
their ownerships of anthracite coal
mines make enormous profits. The
Delaware and Yackawanna, as one
case in point, makes upwards OF ~
per cent annually on its investment.
Its last annual report contains the fol-
lowing comparative statement of what
it receives per ton per mile from coal
shipments and from general merchan-
else. Here are the figures:

The Philadelphia Record declares
this "is all the evidence that is
needed anywhere that there is an ex-
cessive charge on anthracite. The evil
nual report of one of the coal roads.
This information is given in every an
nua report, and it can be followed
back for many years thru the reports.
1t is only one company that displays
this frankness, but the uniformity on
railway charges for the same service In
the same direction and in given ter
ritory leaves no doubt that what one
company admits that it does all the
anthracite roads are doing without
telling anything about 1t.
mot many persons know how much
1t costs to haul ton of coal. No
very large number could even under
stand tho evidence offered for and
against and reach an intelligent con-
cIusion from 1t. But everybody knows
that 1t is cheaper TO handle buis;

into open cars, than it is to handle
general merchandise, which has to be
protected from the weather, which is

RAILWAY MAIL PAY.

If a vengeful policy were TO be pur-
sued by the public toward the railroads
1t would certainly be the formers turn
to laugh over the present situation re-
garding railway compensation for
carrying mail.
For many years mail pay was based
on a loose system of weighing which
reaped big profits for the roads. In
those days we did not hear the rail-
WAYS clamoring for a closer system OF
weights and charges. They were salts
fied-and quiet
Now the tables have turned. With
the inauguration Of the parcels post
system the roads soon discovered that
they were not making money. Then
there was a noise-a long wall of woe

Rooster Commits Suicide.

This is the story of the pathetic finish
OF q rooster who refused to observe the
Wisconsin eugenic statutes.
He was an imported brown fellow,
game cock owned by Harvey Sonne-
man. and he now lies In grave. This
is the reason:
Mr.. Gamecock was head of f1ock Of
hens. but in the brood from which the
hens were Matched were couple OF
ducks. and the gamecQck and tho
ducks became boon companions.
All winter they fed together. but in
the spring the hens asserted their
rights In their jealousy. they pecked
at the ducks. and the latter were so Sc
verely injured that it was necessary to
kill them.
Then the rooster ended his life by
wiiifui starvation.

penetrate that at one time there was
talk of the roads refusing to handle
the mail at all. But public opinion
was feared and the radical step was
not taken. OF course it is not expected
