cUmmlns AND the NOMINATION.

When it became known that Senator
Cumlnins, who is to visit Honolulu in
April with congressional party had
consented to speak in several western
cities politicians in Washington i'm
mediately concluded that Cum,.,ins is
to be an active presidential candidate.
The correspondent AYERS that "infor-
nation here is that Senator Cummins
has concluded to make an active quest
for the nomination"
If Senator Cummins has concluded"
as alleged Washington "informatio"
asserts the ne should have republicans
of Iowa solidly behind him. His dis
tinguished service to the state and his
high character as public man and
as an individual mas well earned so
much.
However. it may tie well to await
some expression from the senator. If
he concludes to bid for the nomination
ne Will do as he has done always
place himself and the policies he stands
for openly before the people FOR ac-
cepta1ce or rejection. IT is the Cum
minis way.
Senator Cummins is well considered
from end to end OF the country and his
talents and high character as a pub
lie man widely appreciated. If he has
made up his mind to be candidate
ne viii have a large following of
thoughtful and patriotic voters from
Maine to California.
Stranger things have happened in
politics than that Senator Cummins
should ask and receive the nomination
and win the election.

WHO IS TO BLAME?
rro,,, CSty Ciffzep

The following clipping from north
western Iowa newspaper, the Grano
Junction Globe. was printed this week
on the editorial page of Des Moines
paper:
IF there is proof for the stories that
come TO this paper Of the graft IN
Sioux City, it is high time things were
cleaned up. Conditions at home ought
to help point out his duty in regard to
the special agent bill to Lieutenant
Governor Harding. The same observa-
ton is applicable to Senator White OF
the Iowa City district. In Iowa City,
in the shadow Of college walls, a spe-
cial agent recently found elaborate
gambling rooms operated.
Who is to blame for this classified
ton Of Iowa City, and the reputation
it is being given around both houses
Of the legislature and turnout the state
Of Iowa by newspapers with statewide
circulation?
Some hold that the local police are
to blame because they permitted
wide open gambling to go on for
months in this city, allowed disor-
derby conditions without protest and
were Indifferent to the fact that
negro bootlegging joint was running
for weeks without interference from
local authorities: until finally the at
torney generals office sent special dep
uties here to enforce the law which
our local officers had neglected.
Some say not to blame the police
because the police will do whatever
they are instructed to do. and that If
anyone is to blame for this dis
graceful condition Of affairs, 1t must
be laid to those higher up in the
city administration.
But the final responsibility is on
neither Of these, but on the people
of Iowa City themselves who vote
year after year to permit an admin
istration to continue under such cir
cunlstanceS.

WORKING ON SUNDAY.

IWaterloO Courler-ReporteT.J
There has been in the last few years
practical, If not general, abandonment
Of the idea that it is necessary to labor
on Sunday in order to encompass
everything desired within the weeks
task. A score or more years ago II
was not uncommon for every class OF
workers and professional men TO put
over until Sunday some special task,
which often occupied the hours which
should be devoted II not to worship
at least to complete rest and relaxa-
ton of mental acuteness. But that
idea has been undergoing a change in
every department of life. There are
comparatively few farmers in the
country today who themselves work
more than ten hours a day and who
expect their hired help to occupy the
time from sunrise to long after sunset
in occupations Of the field. Except at
harvest and planting time. when per-
force an effort must be made to get
out Of the way OF unfavorable weather
conditions the farmer goes his even
way, not working harder on six days
Of the week than his brother In the
city.
It is no longer considered that "the
better the day the better the deed.
Managers Of large institutions lately
have prohibited work on Sunday,
finding that all that need be done can
be accomplished in six days OF the
week. This is true of several OF the
larger establishments in Waterloo.
where even the examination Of mail is
not attempted by confidential Office
men.
sSix days shalt thou labor should
be observed in the spirit as well as in
the letter.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES..

1.-The Johnson road bill passed the
house, but it will not get by the SEN
ate. And if it did it would not get by
the governor" says the Mount Vernon
Record. But the wonder is that 1t
should get by the house. 1t has SO
many weak points and SO few good
ones that it should not have got by
anything"

up in it's vaults than all the southern
states added to the Pacific states. save

miser who boards his money and lets
it pile about him, regardless OF the
social or material needs OF his fami-

RIVERS AND SEWERS.
Huntington HaWkeye,]

Knoxville is now, pumping her wa
ter supply from the Des Moines river,
the water being pumped distance Of
six miles thru a ten-inch pipe. Tho
reservoir at Knoxville contains $780,
600 gallons Of pure, filtered water. The
engineers claim that the new system
is capable of furnishing an adequate
supply for city Of 100000 people.
Here is another argument against turn
ing our streams into public sewers, or
emptying the contents OF our public
sewers into the streams, from whence
other towns get their drinking water.
No doubt, within a few years, there
will be complete stop to the bad
habit many towns now have OF pois-
oning their neighbors drink. 1t was
considered the easiest way. the least
expensive way, to build sewer systems
so that they would discharge into the
streams Of Iowa. BY the time, these
systems shall have been reconstructed,
it will dawn upon several people, that
the easiest way and what appears to
be the cheapest way. is really neither
easy nor cheap. And it is quite likely,
that these good folk will be able to
master that lesson in no other way.

The jitney is not only coming in

only two more days. to-day and to-

$2'O.0uO. It's simply a case OF sub

amount to be donated in that time.
As previously stated. II less than
the quarter OF a million dollars IL
given. then the amounts will be re-
turned to the contributors and the
magnificent Ohio Valley General hos
pital will close its doors. The goal
was put at $500. 900. but owing 10 de
pressing commercial and Industrial
conditions throughout this section, II
was later shown that TO raise the half
million dollars az this time was i'm
possible. The minimum amount has
positively been set at $3.50. 900 By to
