SENATOR CUMMINS.
In a groat many ways Senaloi
• of Iowa is a man lu a !•
rtiiiv, but like all men when sway
• l l»v strong impulse he seem.6
lo be forgotl'nl of the facts. \V«
are not concerned in the merit
or lack of merit in the Iowa sen
ator's course in supporting Col
onrl Roosevelt for the presidency
;»s against President Taft while
vnpporting the straight Republi
can ticket, but some of the rea
sons ho has advanced for his
friendship to the Colonel deserve
at least a passing notice. It may
be remarked, however, that Iowa
Republicans have a way of pun
idling ambitious statesmen who
do not keep in the straight and
narrow path. The senator some
>ear., ago did a little penance in
Ibis Jine. Hut to the quest ion of
his friendship for the Colonel.
He gives as one reason that the
men who ignored the protest of
I he Republican stales against
southern representation in the
Chicago convention were "blind
as bats and deaf as adders."
Senator Cummins has been a
progressive statesman in oppo
sition to all that is called stand
pat ism for the last twenty years.
He is constitutionally, honestly
and sincerely a progressive. He
lias always been opposed to the
old order of things as represented
by Allison and Gear and other
c.Id-line Republicans in Iowa ever
jsime 1802. Was it not as ap
parent in 1800, 1000, 100 4 and
li*(»8 as it was in 1012 Lhat south
ern representation in Republican
national conventions prevented
I ho s'ates with Republican major
ities from making the nomina
tion'? But Iowa showed no in
clination to support Senator Quay
when ho introduced in the conven
tion of 1000 the resolution to
change the basis of representa
tion so that the south could not
cxorcise a great influence in the
nomination.
Four years ago when Senator
Penrose, also of Pennsylvania,
presented a minority report from
I he committee on rules, if Iowa
had supported hint it would have
been had not the loaders been as
"blind as bats and as deaf as ad
ders." The vote on Mr. Penrose' •
resolution was 471 to 500, Iowa
casting twenty voles no. Had
these friends of Senator Cum
mins voted aye to 480 no, and it
would have changed the basis of
representation for this year.
The senator can hardly accuse
his associates of being blind and
deaf lo the wishes of the poo
. pie wi|houl including himself and
Iowa in that criticism.
CURE FOR MELANCHOLY.
Whether sis a people we really

mailer imieli as (lie method ami
condition* under which we per
form Ibis very necessary pari of
<Mir daily activities if we desire
lit make Ihe most of our oppor
tunities. "The health and happi
ness of our men and women," says
Professor Jung, one of Ihe best
authorities on gastronomies, "rest
on ihe abolition of Ihe quirk lunch
counter; for as a result of im
proper food improperly oaten

ancholy nearly anything. Bring
hark Itie good old days of family
cooking; let a wife's love for her
husband he borne out by her cook
ing."
Snys Meredilh: "Civilized man
cannot live without cooks." Pro
fessor Jung recommends I hat ev
ery man learn lo cook for him
self. This is going I he boy scout*
one better. One of their lessons
is to learn how to cook a steak
in the woods on a forked slick,
fry eggs without the usual frying
pan And a few stunts similar, all
of which are most excellent. Then
why not (fo a step further as Mr.
. Jung suggests and learn the whol
I scheme of the culinary art? Ou
whes, sisters and sweethearts ar
learning to vote and we men cai
. hardly afford to be lagging be
hind in Ihe breadth of our educa
' tion. Beside our broadly educat
ed daughters should go hand ii

) So much for the cooking, bu

"Assume a pleasant frame o!

and happy thoughts before each
mouthful, for. a$ Professor Pav
low -ays, 'the beginning of diges

THAT INVESTIGATION.
Co' llonsevell, during liis re
cenl swing through the Pacific
(•nasi stales, consumed no small
portion of his time lo the Arch
hold incident. While the daily
papers had co\ered about every
item of Ihe conl roversv, he seem
ed 11» have a burning desire logo
over Ihe ground willi our people
in person.
On Ihe lirsl of Oe.oher Ihe ««eu

hear evidence on lhi< campaign
fund mailer. They have heen f:iv_
en an unusual amount of latitude
and I hey have given oul the word
through their chairman that they
propose to exercise this pri\ilege
very freely. The Colonel, with a
long list of senator^ and public
men are on Ihe docket for appear
and' and Ihe chances are that
we shall have forthcoming a
quantity of readable information
about these political funds and
their relations lo legislators and
legislation.
Senator Penrose will be also
heard; J. P. Morgan, who typi
fies belter than anyone else for
the man in the street the money
octopus; John I). Rockefeller, the
oil magnate who has gathered up
a goodly slice of the earth and
Ihe fruils thereof; (Jeorge W.
Perkins, Ihe present chief finan

dwelling in Ihe lenls of the wick

of juggling willi the mass of oth
er people's money; and a host of
oilier accredited bi^ men of the
nation who will be expected each
to disclose his relafioiis with
these unholy money bags.
Coming at this lime Ihe inves
