PLAYING WITH DISASTER.

Eastern papers. few of them are
foreseeing a split in the republican
ranks over the question vi the chair
manship of the republican congress
sional committee. 1t appears from the
story that Congressman Mckinley, or
Illinois, and Others are determined to
depose Woods. Of Iowa, and replace
him with Nicholas Longworth. 1t is
stated that the members Of the COM
mittee are pretty we'll divided between
Woods and Longworth.
Whether or not Mr.. Woods is to be
replaced by another it should be evil
dent that the selection Of Mr.. Long
worth for the place would be seri-
Gus error from the standpoint Of HARM
onious and coherent party action. HIS
selection would reopen a contention
which the middle west has by common
agreement concluded TO close. Il would
without any manner Of doubt bring
discord and danger Of mutiny into
ranks already fairly aligned to COM
mon purpose-that Of returning the
republican party TO power.
Mr.. Longworth's relationship to
Roosevelt is not political by any man
ner of means and his selection would
not attract the return Of progressives
who are needed if We are to have vic
tory. Longworth is thoroughly repre-
sentative OF faction as is his open
sponsor, Mckinley. And II IS no time
TO revive faction if we are to win the
coming election.
Republican success in the coming
campaign balances upon party cohe-
sion, a convention wherein all candi-
cation about important principles and
policies approved by the voters and tho
avoidance of policies plainly disap-
proved by the voters in the last preced-
ing presidential election. The question
of control Of the party machinery b.
faction and interest brought about
defeat. 1t should not be
permitted 10 repeat its own history
The next election hinges upon the
middle west. In that section the indie
pendent voter flourtshes most. And
upon the independent voter who car
RES his own vote under his own hat
and whose sense Of citizenship is
stronger than his party fealty the re-
suit Of the coming presidential con-
test depends

Why be gay?
Why be happy
All the day?
Why be smiling?
why be glad,
When you really
Should be sad?
Why throw bouquets
At your friends?
Flowers all wither.
There it ends.
Why be pleasant
And content
When you're broke
Or badly bent'
Why be boosting?
Your friends stock
When It's easier
To knock
Why be aiding
Charity?
That's poor business
Yes. stree!
Be a cynic,
Be a gloom,
And when you must
Meet your doom,
Makes no difference,
When all's said,
Tho the folks are
Glad you're dead.

POLITICAL MACHINES.

BUILDING POLITICAL MACHINES.
dubuque Times-Journal1
In an address to a gathering or
democrats at Sioux City, DR.. Reynolds.
chairman of the Iowa democratic
state central committee, made the fol-
lowing very frank statement:
I want to urge that the democratic
postmasters be very yigilant and ac-
tive in politics during the coming cam
paign. I realize ii is the popular belief
tina, a man, having been appointed
postmaster will at once retire from
political activity. This is a wrong be-
lief. l want to say to the postmasters
that the department and the demo-
cratic organization expect you to be
active If the postmasters are taken
out of politics the party in power
would be weaker than the party out
Of power. Usually say uSually-the
strongest men from a political stand
point are made postmasters. 1t Is for
their political power they are thus
honored, and that power, it is expected
will be Of use. ..-
DR.. Reynolds is prescribing danger
Gus medicine for the democratic post
masters of Iowa. He should know
that the regulations Of the postal de-
partment forbids political activity on
the part Of postmasters and that vio-
lation of said regulation is grounds for
removal. DR.. Reynolds is out of place
in Iowa. He belongs in big city
where building up political machines
is regular industry.
A JUDGMENT AGAINST LAWYERS.
Council Bluffs NonpareilI
A Mr.. Bailey, answering a question
before the senate committee which has
under consideration the Brandeis APP
pointment to the supreme court. said
that in his judsmen Brandeis was "a
vsTJ 2hle LAWYER. a man of keen in
tellect, an able advocate, but he Is not
entirely trustworthy"
1t would not be at all difficult to
ind scores Of witnesses who would
give a similar judgment concerning
the best lawyers in the United States
In his opinion Of Mr.. Brandeis Mr..
Bailey reflects a judgment that Ia
! common among laymen concerning the
entire legal fraternity. This Judgment
is not fair to The lawyers. but is ex-
| lists. nevertheless. 1t springs from the
TACT that the legal fraternity has In
its membership considerable number

shadow over the whole cult OF which
they are members. The shadow car
