A POLITICAL PROSPECT.

That a struggle and perhaps split
in the democratic party OF the state is
due is merely emphasized by call for
a meeting at Des Moines of the pro-
gressive democrats of Iowa. with the
purpose of overthrowing the old regime
and to put progressive democrats" In
majority upon the state committee.
The letter declares that the present
committee does not represent over 25,-
0eO Of the 100000 democratic voters"
Is reactionary and opposed to good
progressive democrats" and proposes
to change matters radically.
It is straw which way the wind
blows. Much disgruntiement exists be-
tween the democratic factions. Some
got offices and some found the cup
board bare; some are Clark men with
an unhealed grievance; some are tenn
perance men and others are high H.
cense advocates which is to say that
some are Bryanites and some are Will
sonians. From different points Of the
compass storms are brewing.
The temperance question is becom-
ing a disturbing element in the party
in this state. Its strongest men in the
legislature are temperance leaders.
Their following 10 becoming greater
day by day. The next convention will
sees fierce fight on this very ques-
ton. It will be between the delegates
from the cities and those from the in
terror. Either the temperance demo-
Gratis will control the convention or
they will sulk in the election. They
will never follow a pronounced Defend
er Of the traffic and the saloon to the
polls again.
The wet and dry Issue has not been
fully settled by any means in either
party but It has been fairly settled in
the state. It will be an acute issue
in the next campaign in the primaries
of both parties and in the election to
follow. It may be safely assumed in
event Of wet nominee by either party
or by both that Thousands Of votes
will refuse to be thus sidetracked
against the convictions Of their owners.
It suggests an eventuality in case
Harding or some candidate with like
predictions slipped thru the republican
primary and democrats managed to
nominate q temperance candidate OF
even failing that produced an tnde-
pendent candidate ike John r. Clark
son; or similar circumstances sur
rounding nominees for the attorney
generals office. In Tho final stage Of
the contest which will have reached iti
acutest point in the next campaign
there would be . vast change in align.

the !. ". ". AND the Yoels.

Sioux City is city Of contrasts
With the I. w. w. storming at its gates
and sulking in it's dungeons. the re-
signed police chief being tried In
ca SO which is almost as nots BILE for Its
evidence as the celebrated Incident at
Terra Haute, Sioux City savants and
such like go calmly on organizing
school Of Of theosophy.
Perhaps some persons don't know
what theosophist is. A theosophist
is a person who wears funny clothes
when any clothes at all are worn
and an air of abstraction. Theophizing
is O peculiar trade. The theosophist
trains himself to do stunts that make
the magicians who changed their stairs
into snakes look like an amateur
sleight Of hand performer at a leger-
demain convention. They can separate
their astral bodies from their earthly
integuments as a common person takes
off an undershirt and be two places at
the same time. In time the theosophist
becomes yogi and can turn grind
stone two ways at once. He is supposed
to be extremely holy and doesn't need
to clean his finger nails. Your real
theosophist only descends to this
world from his contemplation OF
heavenly things when grub is ready.
He works at his trade Of sitting and
thinking. At least that's the impress
sion received readers of eastern fic-
ton where the yogi is at his best. And
the theosophist is always at his best in
fiction.
Looking on from the distance there
seems much in common between the
I. W. w. and the theosophist. The in
dependent worker OF the world prefers
working the world to working for
wages. That seems to the unlearned
and uninitiated point OF contact and
similarity. He also prefers to sit and
think. He also has the power to stay
in one place without moving a muscle
or an eyelid for a long time at a
stretch. And that IS one Of the Pc
cularities Of the yogi as protrayed by
Conan Doyle and others who have
given the matter attention. Cleaning
from the same authorities the impress
sion is gained that the yogi expects
some one else to find and cook his food
and there again we see the I. W. w.
cropping out. Moreover the yogi wants
to boss everybody and be bossed by
nobody. So does the I. w. w. From
various points Of view similarity seems
to exist.
Why not combine learning with util-
ity, theosophy with expediency and
combine the two cults? The I. W. w.
seems to be in some special specifca-
lions the finest sort of material for
the theosophical school.

MURDER WILL OUT.

howard Hann, eX-pOStInaSter VI
Manchester and virile newspaper man,
has stood we'll in the opinions of the
press of this state. It is then with a
feeling Of deep reluctance and sorrow
that the newspapers are called upon to
chronicle his down fall. He has been
fred from the postoffice under charges
which cause him to hide his face from
the universal contempt Of an angry
world-Howard Ram IS accused OF
failing to keep his typewriter clean.
A bas le Howar-r-r R-R-R-an-n!
Such infamy, such shame has he
brought upon the postal department
of the United States, such bitter blame
upon the newspaper profession. Merci-
full heavens an unclean typewriter!
What matters it that his accounts were
correct to 1-cent stamp, that he has
met with a smile the man who never
yet got any mail and the children
coming home from school who stopped
in merely to ask ARE there any mail
for u.s." that he has been able and
quick and kindly and accurate in Of
flee? Let no guilty man whose type
faces are filed with lint, upon whose
machine the dust accumulates and
dead flies decay, escape. Bring rope.
Strange, too. That aust be the type
writer he uses when he gets out that
funny farm stuff that syndicate has
been selling all over the United States.
He writes that excellent editorial page
of his on it-when he writes editorial
at all. Imagine how we have read all
that stuff unknowing that 1t came from
typewriter that hadn't been over
hauled for a week before an inspector,
who had been carrying mail few
days previous to the inspection Of the
Manchester typewriter, swooped down
on Howard Ram and found the evil
dence.
Mr.. Ram explains that he offered
the office to the hungry democrats
year before they came to grab it. That
ne offered co turn u over dS SpOllS
belonging to the victors. That wouldn't
do. When it was proposed to remove
him he proposed to know on what
charges and stuck. But the wicked and
obstinate and criminals Of high and
low degree always leave a clue. Muir
Ger will out. He forgot to brush the
typewriter.
There can be no sympathy for such
negligence. Especially when 1t is dis
played by a newspaper man for those

Why billy SUNDAY m Annroxad.


Why doesn't it occur to the cities Of
Billy Sundays undoubted vulgarity
and extravaganza Of speech and action
that his acceptance with the serious
religious public of the United States
is in spite Of these things and not be-
cause Of them and that their very
fragrance shows the strength Of the
positive qualities that overcome such
handicap? Bill Sunday Is backed up
by religious men and women gener-
ally not because they relish his man
ners but because when he leaves a
town behind him he leaves men who
were drunken and dissolute when he
came. working for wages and earning
them, supporting their families, car
ing for their, children, paying their
debts and constituting an asset Of the
community instead Of a liability.-St.
