LET'S QUIT PEANUT1lNG.

The Sac Sun takes occasion to
straighten out history which is being
twisted in an effort to discredit Mr..
Cummins' connection with the liquor
reform movement. The Sun explains
that without the governors aid and
allotment the enforcement which be-
ban with the department of justice
when Web Byers was at its head could
not have been successfully inaug-
urated.
1t is strange that any question should
arise upon this matter which ought to
be firmly fixed in the recollection Of
the state and particularly nf those who
have followed the political shifts which
have taken place in past years
Governor Cummins is entitled to
great credit, credit that he has never
claimed because 1t probably hasn't
occurred to him to make political CAPT.
tai out of a simple duty and the exer-
else OF courage in office, for Cummins
has above all his other greater qualities
been courageous man in office. The
enforcement proceedings that began in
the Byers regime We're the choice Of
the governor of Iowa-Cummins. He
was a candidate for reelection and
had always held a strong vote in
Pottawatamie and Scott counties, two
counties particularly affected by the
liquor and gambling interests. It was
conceived that II the governor could
be forced to choose between enforce
ment and laxity he must lose. For
If enforcement were carried on the wet
counties would be lost, II not the
church vote could be turned against
him. At that time much Of the reve-
nue. Of the city Of council Bluffs was
drawn from protection money paid in
by the gambling houses. Byers. a
game attorney general and Cummins a
courageous candidate did not hesitate.
Then enforced the law. The seeming
certain scheme to get Cummins going
and coming fell thru for Cummins was
elected. And there began the process
that has been making Iowa clean. The
Cosson laws came in. The gaming
houses closed their doors. Redlight
districts turned on their crimson lights.
And new era Of enforcement and of
understanding of propriety came to
Iowa.
It will be hard for the enemies or the
political opponents of Cummins and
Cosson and Byers to cast any shadow
Of discredit upon any Of these men
thru cctnparison. Each earned and
deserves great credit. There is enough
for each in his own right. There is
no need or reason Tor any jealousy OF
ipreeminence.
Especially az reRards Mr.. Cummins:
His stand was that OF most courage

COTTON WHISPERS.

When the amateur Santa Claus dons
his cotton batting whiskers and goes
praRcing about among the lighted
candles of the Christmas tree take the
children and flee. Don't wait until the
"hlskers catch fire and the panic be-
gins. Keeps away t-cI; The cotton bats
and the candles and the promise of
calamity.
OF course Santa and his cotton whis-
hers get by oftener than they burn up:
out the record af fatalities and disas-
tire caused by the carelessness that
brings cotton and kerosene and candles
and whiskers into close iuxtaposition
is most serious one. Don't do it.
Soak Santa's whiskers in some nom
!nhlammable fluid if you must do it:
better yet soak Santa if he insists on
fooling round the candles with his
calamity kindling- If you must imi-
tate snow use something but cotton or
use electric lights instead of candles.
Il that is impossible don't initiate.
Make it sane Christmas tree There's
as much sense in dynamite crackers
on the Fourth Of July as in cotton
snow and cotton whiskers at Christ
mas.
Folks gets careless when they set out
TO have a good time. And that care
lessness has brought gloom instead Of
brightness 10 many communities.
Watch the cotton whiskers.

Two little curly heads, yellow and

Over their work, bending busily down:
Twenty wee fingers all stitching away,
Nimbly and deity as ever they may:
Four little lips whispering softly and
Sweet little secrets that no one must
These are the signs by which it is
clear
That Yuletide is coming and Christmas
is near.
Oh. for the mysteries no one can guess:
Something for baby, and something for
Bess,
Presents for Eddie, and gifts for papa,
Such n delightful surprise for mamma,
All slowed away in the little workbo
OF wee Rosy Posy and sweet Gold
locks:
No one shall open it. no one shall peer
Into the treasures till Christmas is
here.
Work away. dear little hands, work
away
Swiftly and nimbly as ever you may;
Only little while longer. you know.
You will have leisure TO stitch and to
sew.
Every new morning and every new
night
Brings the day nearer, the day of de-

Brightest and merriest day of the
year
Yuletide is coming and Christmas is
near. -Lue 2 Vernon.

Gus man. one who preferred to be right
and to act honestly In office than TO
continue in office by evasion Of a re-
sponsibility. That has been the at
titude of the man toward public cues
tons since he sought public Office in
Iowa. 1t is his attitude now. 1t will
continue to be his attitude should he
become president of the United States.
1t is small politics. this continual ef-

honor courage and righteousness in

TAKE IT FROM US.

The newspapers have been printing
story of man up in a northern Iowa
county who took a friend out walking,
stripped off his own clothes and swan
river a few times, rolled around
naked in the snow and suggested that
them up by that sort OF stuff. Further
information as to the athletic prowess
of the human icicle is offered and the
impression conveyed that the way to
be healthy and wealthy and wise is
TO swim icy rivers and roll around
naked in the snow.
Don't pay any attention to it. If
maddening impulse assails you to strip
off all you have on and plunge into the
Iowa thru an air hole or to frolic in
the snow as Adams did among the
bowers Of Eden repress it at once and
go see a doctor, preferably an alienist.
If you are going to do athletics you'll
find it chilly enough down at the gym
nasium and a shower bath more con-
ducive to a long and happy life than
a siesta in a snowbank. This talk Of
hardening them up that way is pure
bunk. You keep your clothes on and
stay out of the water.
During a long and ooservant life
those who keep looking about them
notice lot of common every day folks
that can't skin the cat or chin a pole
more than three times to save their
lives busy hurying athletes who swim
lev rivers and wallow naked in the
snow. The fact is that the common or
garden variety of man who goes about
his business and plays a little goit
Of summers and a little volley ball or
she like OF winter time seems to break
in to the octogenar!an class IN large
number compared to the athletes who
hold track records and can lift 200
pound dumb bells and such like stunts
The ordinary every day citizens seems
to be the real thing in longevity.
OF course if you mus, ron in the
snow and cut didoes between the cakes
Of ice go to it. But when you call the
doctor for your pneumonia he'll hear
the story and say you were darned
fool and everybody will agree with the
doctor. .......
See here. You wear your oyercoat
like a human being, you put on rub
bers on a wet day. you keep on doing
like other folks and take care OF your
self; and some day in the near future
you will be asked to act as pail bearer
for the fellows who fancy mid winter
swimming holes and immodest exer-
cises in snowbanks.
