A Reuter- dispatch from Athens says:

first questions which the new govern

suggestion that it cooperate with the

if resistance were offered, while Bull

who is believed to be averse to another
Balkan conflict and to disapprove an
attack upon Serbia.

A few days ago, in discussing the
possibility of the election of Sena-
tor Cummins to the presidency, the
Freeman-Tribune observed that only
once in the history of the country
had a United States senator been
elected president. The Sioux city
Journal takes us to task for this
statement and says that many of
the presidents had occupied seats in
the upper house of congress before
being called to the higher position.
That is true, of course, but the Free
man-Tribune said but one United
States senator had been elected. It
did not say ex-senator. This paper
believes that statement is correct. If
the Journal can name more than one
man who was United States sena-
tor when he was elected to the pres
idency the Freeman-Tribune will
concede it's mistake.

SENATOR KENYON.

Iowa City Citizen: One of the
most satisfactory political expert
ments the people of Iowa have tried
out in recent years was the selection
of Judge William S. Kenyon for the
Job of United States senator.
For it is something of an expert.
ment to take a man without previ'
GUS experience in legislation or pub
lie executive Offices and make him
one of the states two representa-
tives in the senate.
Those who knew Kenyon said he
had it in him to make good; that
he had the gifts Of oratory, good
fellowship, general knowledge, ca
pacity of mind that are some of the
characteristics of successful leader
ship, and with these a sympathy for
the problems and ambitions of COM
mon folks.
They were right about it. What
ever he has done or failed to do,
Senator Kenyon has impressed the
country as a man of force of charac-
ter and thorough going sincerity
just such a man as people turn to in
difficult problems of national politics
with confidence that he will serve
them without putting his own inter-
ests first.
And Kenyon has sincere desire
to serve his day and generation. No
one doubts that who knows him.
Some things about public life are
distasteful to him-the questioning
of motives, the petty criticism that
assails every public man from some
source. And of course there are
limitations put upon every official
who is elected by the public which
he must serve.
But the more a public man meets
the people, not those alone who want
him to do something for them per-
sonally, but the great mass of people
who have only the general interest
in his work, the more he sees that
these criticisms are largely superfic-
ial-on the surface, and that the
man with the clear conscience can
find great comfort in the evident
good will Of the impartial citizen.
Senator Kenyon is doing a good
thing in visiting every county in
the state this summer and visiting
with the people. It is a mutual adj
