Mississippi Gains Prestige
In House Through.
Primaries.

Washington, Aug. 16.-That
Mississippi has no idea of chang
ing its policy OF keeping congress-
men in Office as long as possible
is indicated by the almost COM
plete returns received here from
yesterdays primary. The fact
that there was no contest against
Representatives Harrison, Vena'
Z bic, Stevens and Humphreys, and
that Representatives Quih, Col
lier, sisson and Gambler were re-
turned with large majorities is
taken to indicate that the advan.
tages of extended tenure Of office
is we'll understood in Mississippi,
The result will be that several Of
the Mississippi members will be
advanced to more important
places on their committees, there
by increasing the prestige of the
state in the House, placing MEM
bers where they may be of great
er service to their constituencies.
Yesterdays primaries demon

gresham is wise who does not

THE CRIPPLED SOLDIER.

Sioux City Journal: A deputy in
the Brazilian congress has placed his
finger upon a new peril threatening
the western hemisphere after the
war. He has attempted to provide a
remedy therefor by introducing a
bill prohibiting the immigration of
cripples into Brazil. Undoubtedly
when the war ends Europe, with its
hcrdes of men who have been inca
FACILITATED for work, will seek to get
rid of numbers of them by shipping
them to the countries of the western
hemisphere. Those nations not al
ready having upon their statute
books laws prohibiting the immigra-
ton of crippled or dependent aliens
will be forced to enact such measures
in self protection.
Support of the crippled portion of
the population and devising of
means by which crippled soldiers
may earn a livelihood after the war
are problems to which the wisest
statesmen of Europe are already de-
voting their earnest attention. The
problems grow increasingly difficult
of solution as the war continues and

the buttons gone from his coat pro-

AN OPPONENT EXPLAINS.

Nonpareil: The election of w. L..
Harding to the governorship of
Iowa by an overwhelming majority
of voters is not difficult of explana-
ton.
The road issue cut surprisingly
large figure in the voting. Harding
gained on this line. The vigorous
fight made on Harding on the temp
erance issue drove more votes to him
than it gained for Meredith from re-
publican ranks. The two senator's,
both drys, and such drys as Havner
were effective in holding dry repub-
lican votes for the republican can
didate in spite of great punches of
wet voters who came out openly and
above board for him.
There has not been any doubt in
the minds of political observers for
some weeks as to the outcome of the
ELECTION insofar as the governorship
was concerned. Harding was able
Ito convince the drys wherever he
spoke that he was sound on this is
sue. He was able to do this and at
the same time hold the wet voters
Ito his standard. a.
Even his opponents are forced to
admit that Mr.. Harding is very adj
rot and very fortunate in his choice
Iof issues. Just how he will be able
to satisfy in the Office of governor
the conflicting elements which he
was able to rally to his support will
remain to be answered in the fut-
lure. There is much reason to believe
THAT he will succeed in this line as
he has succeeded in his campaign.
Havner as attorney general will
take care of law enforcement. The
legislature will take care of other
matters. Mr.. Harding will occupy
the governors Office, spread a great
deal of salve, duck responsibility
where votes are involved and prove
himself a popular executive.
In the meantime, give Harding a
chance. Weight of responsibility
frequently makes fairly good offic-
ials of rather mediocre men.

PURGED THE PARTY.

Manson Democrat: This newspa-
per sincerely hopes that the men
who followed Meredith in his miser-
able march to the political gallows,
are now satisfied. The majority Of
them are the fellows who were never
satisfied with the control of the par
ty by men who cut the republican
majorities on governor down to less
than 10000, and even below 1000
and they were forever knocking on
those men, belittling them, nagging
at them and accusing them of every
thing but honesty. The democratic
party of Iowa has purged itself of the
Ed. Merediths in vote that is so de-
cisive that it admits of no question.
The party will be in control Of demo-
Gratis in the future, if it continues to
exist as a party, mark that.

SOME JUST REBuKEs.

Paul Stillman lives in Greene
county and it was expected that
Paul's support of Meredith would be
worth something to the democratic
candidate for governor. Mr.. Still
man had been speaker Of the Iowa
house and candidate for congress
from this district. However, it APP
pears that he was unable to make
the people who knew him best be-
lieve that the Des Moines gang was
right and that the more than 1907
900 republicans who nominated
Harding were wrong. Greene coun-
ty gave Hughes a majority of S33
and Harding a majority of $50. Out
in Pottawattamie county, where Bill
lily Orchard, editor of the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil, took up the fight
of the Des Moines clique for Mere
dith, the result, was the same as elseo
where in the state. The returns from
THAT county are not complete, but as
i far as heard from Hughes has a ma
jority of 1853 and Harding has a lead
of GIT. Down in Marshall county,
where D. w. Norris led with his
Times-Republican for the Des
Moines crowd, Hughes has major
lily upon incomplete returns of 1871,
while Harding's majority is $50. Up
| in Kossuth county, the old home OF
Gardner Cowles and Harvey Ing
ham, owner and editor of the Regis
ter and Leader, foremost leaders of
the Des Moines gang, Hughes major
ity is 906, Harding's is 1,234Polk
county, the home of the notorious
gang where the various schemes
were planned and distributed and
where Mr.. Meredith resides, gave
the democratic candidate for presi-
dent majority of 1,079, but Mr.
Harding's majority reached 2,91S.
The Des Moines preachers, too, were
unusually active against Harding
and the result is rebuke to them.
Taken all in ALL the election of
Harding by such tremendous ma
jority is most fortunate and will
have a salutatory effect upon the re-
publican politics of the state. 1t is
notice to the gang that if it is to
win it must use decent methods and
make a fair fight and it is notice to
the political preachers that the peo-
pie resent an attempt to lug church
organizations and societies into pol
itics in Iowa.
