DAVID B. HENDERSON.
Iowa and the whole union of states
tnourn at the bier of David Bremner
Henderson. His death though It was
Jpng expected, brings grief to the
•tfhole country and especially to those
men who knew him and his worth as
citizen and as a statesman. Mr. Hen
derson's life was devoted to his coun
try. "When he entered the war of the
I'ebellion he headed a body of students
from a small school at Fayette, where
lie ,was then In attendance. He served
through a good part of the civil war
with distinction and emerged from the
experiences of thoss trying years,
jrippled physically but all the more a
man for the tests of his courage and
manhood. Throughout the remainder
of his life he was never able to forget
the frightful wounds he received dur
ipg the- fighting, but the pain and suf
lerfngiWere. borne so bravely all. those
years,that never a word of complaint
was heard. Numerous surgical opera
tions made, life a burden for Mr. Hen­!
derson, but he was always cheerful,
always ready to do his part and a little
ipore.
David B. Henderson was a man of
strong convictions and a marked ability
to put his thoughts into words. As a
consequence, he had enemies in poli
tics. Among all, however, he was re
garded with marked respect and deep
est admiration, for above and beyond
all else, David Henderson was a man.
As congressman he was a power in
the house. His opinion was always re
garded as worthy of the most careful
consideration. Above all petty jeal
ousies and enmities, he was one of the
old school legislators, a man who be
lieved in making laws for the people's
benefit He was earnest in his stew
ardship of the interests of his con
stituents and no one in the Iowa dele
gation did more for his district and its
people than did David B: Henderson.
Today at Dubuque, where Mr. Hen
derson made his home for many years,
funeral services are being held over
his remains. In addition to the relig
ious ceremony an address is to be
made by Hon. George D. Perkins, who
served In congress at the same time
with the man for whom Iowa mourns.
S£r. Perkins and Mr .Henderson were
friends and fellow workers and it is
very appropriate, that the Sioux City
man should make an address on this
occasion.
To the surviving members of Mr.
Henderson's family is extended the
heartfelt sympathy of a sorrowing
state. The Iowa delegation afe Wash
ington and the house over whffih Mr.
Henderson presided as speaker have
adopted resolutions expressing sor
row and respect and the same
action has been taken in the
Iowa legislature. Governor Cum
mins paid an eloquent tribute to the
departed leader In his message to the
legislature on Monday, and throughout
Iowa toflay marks of respect to the
memory of Mr. Henderson are to be
noted. The people mourn him as a
soldier, a statesman, as a leader in
thought and in politics, as a man.
NO STATEWIDE PRIMARY.
•S^jAfter all. It seems that matters that
should come out right generally do
work around In such a way that they
coiqe out as they should. The primary
bill is an Instance. It was introduced
amid a great deal of oratory, as a
measure pro. bono publico. It was
taken up and pushed with enthusiasm
by public speakers who sought to con
vince the people of the state that only
by means of the primary law could
they see their desires as to political
offices realized. In spite of the fact
that the primary laws already In force
are unsatisfactory and in spite of the
warnings from many sources that a
primary law in Iowa would be bad,
these selfcappolnted guardians of the
public weal talked" and wrote over
time in efforts to popularize the Cross
ley bill. But it. was all in vain. The
measure haB died an early death In
the Iowa, senate after the most careful
consideration by the members of that
body. It is safe to say that there is
not a single senator who did not hear
from several of his constituents with
regard to the law. It Is safe to say
that every senator sounded publio
opinion in the district he represents
and voted accordingly.
The result of the ballot on the Cross
ley bill was a defeat for the proposi
tion by a vote of 29 to 21. The discus
sion was thorough and the bill was
carefully considered. That it was de
feated is a credit to the judgment of
the senators who voted against it and
of the-people they represent.
Iowa can well afford to postpone the
passage of a primary bill pending the
trial of laws recently passed in other
states. When these have been tested,
if they are found to be successful and
wise, and if they would have the same
effects in Iowa, then there will be
plenty of time for this state to con
sider the question whether It needs a
primary law. The Courier does not
believe that Iowa wants or needs such
a law as the Crossley bill proposed.
It Is wrong In its essentials. It pro
vides for minority rule within the par
ties. This Is wrong. It would make
It possible for cities to disfranchise
the residents of country districts' as
far as votes In a primary are concern
ed and this Is wrong. In fact the bill
had so many weak and really bad feat
ures that its failure should be the sub
ject of self-congratulation on the part
of every fair minded thinking voter in
Iowa.
BOOM OTTUMWA.
The announcement, lone expected,
of the failure, of the project for the
stove works which Ottumwa hoped to
secure, was made yesterday. It does
not indicate, as might be thought, any
lack of interprise on the part of Ot
tumwa citizens, any lack of civic pride
or of a willingness to pull all together
for a 1 single purpose. It simply means
that, as a business proposition, the
stove works plan did not look feasible
to the business men of Ottumwa and
that they accordingly decided to
drop It.
It does not mean that Ottumwa looks
askance upon propositions to establish
manufactures here but rather that
she is anxious to locate within her
limits factories that are good busi
ness propositions. It means that
capital is available here for good
enterprises and that the people 'Of
Ottumwa are ready and more than
willing to invest in any concern that
has the characteristics to bring suc
cess.
Ottumwa. as can be proved by the
records of her many successful manu
ifacturing institutions, Is aq Ideal loca
tion for factories.
The city has good railroad facilities,
good, cheap fuel, good fire protection,
good locations for working men's
homes, excellent schools, splendid
stores and many fine factory sites. In
addition, Ottumwa has men who are
ready to put money Into enterprises
that offer reasonable returns. Her
citizens stand" together on every
proposition to better the community.
They are for Ottumwa for they
realize that every citizen Is benefitted
whenever the city Is benefitted. No
factionalism divides Ott"mwa against
herself.
Such are the essentials of the city
that succeeds, Ottumwa has made
splendid progress In the last few
years and she will continue so to do as
long as these characteristics are
hers.
Ottumwa extends a cordial invita
tion to all kinds of legitimate enter
wjsrs to locate here. This is a manu
facturing center already and it is the
desire to make it a very important
I one. Ottumwa business men stand
1 ready to encourage any enterprise
that is founded on a firm business
basis. Ottumwans are for Ottumwa.
It is gratifying to note that the
business men of Ottumwa are enthusi
astic over the prospects for an inter
urban line to be built from Ottumwa
to Des Moines. Ottumwa is at the
point in her progress where an inter
urban will prove of great benefit. The
retail stores in this city are equal to
those In many places, of twice the
size. With an interurban line in opera
tion the people for many miles around
this city can come to Ottumwa and
do their shopping, returning home the
same day. They can get as good bar
gains here as they can get in cities
much larger..
They can market their produce here
and will be welcomed whether buy
ers'or sellers. No, one in Ottumwa or
In the territory tributary to this city
can afford to disregard any op
portunity to encourage the project for
the Interurban line Not only Ottum
wa ,but the owners of land through
which the interurban line will run,
will reap benefits of a financial nature.
The history of the interurban lines in
other states is punctuated with golden
commas, but not a full stop is to be
found. The interurban means pro
gress. Ottumwa is for progress, and
consequently Ottumwa is for tne inter
urban.
THE MARCH OF BUSINESS.
All winter long there has been a
good business in practically every
mercantile line and spring is opening
with bright prospects for a continu
ance of these conditions. The latest
reports from the principal trade. cen
ters are indicative of good business
and full of encouragement. Some of
them follow:
Chicago—The wholesale markets
are well attended by both Interior and
local buyers. Dealings In the staple
lines are moving forward to quite a
large aggregate. Personal buying is
strongly supplemented by heavy mail
orders In dry goods, footwear, men's1
furnishings, clothing, hats, caps and
household utensils. There is also good
buying of carpets, furniture and hard
ware. Many of the bookings are mark
ed for early forwarding and shipping
departments are- doing extra work. Ad
vices from the Interior create a good
Impression as to trade conditions, and
farm reports show winter wheat and
ryei well protected by the recent snow
falty Mercantile collections continue
reasonably prompt.
Paul—Jobbing trade returns are
rally satisfactory. The aggregate
pring, sales is well in advance of
year,1 but collections are back-
Seasonable, lines in dry goods,
ing, men's furnishings and hats
nue active and millinery and
s' wear are in good demand. Man
uring footwear and harness job-
bers are busy and the demand for rub
ber goods is strong.
Minneapolis—Wholesale trade con
tinues very active, and the volume of
merchandise moving is large. Car
shortage Is slowly disappearing, and
transportation facilities are much Im
proved. Retail trade is seasonably
dull. Building operations have suffer
ed very little interruption this winter
and permits Issued for January
amounted to $432,705. against $163,
510 a year ago. Lumber shipments
continue very heavy, and for the week
were 5,968,000 feet, against 4,528,000 a
year ago.
St. ^ouls—House business in the
leading lines Is quite active. The at
tendance of personal buyers from the
western and southwestern states Is
fair and they are making liberal pur
chases. Mall orders are large. Prices
of shoes and dry goods are very firm.
Collections are fair.
Reading—Fur hat manufacturers
are working full time, with orders to
keep them running from two to three
months. The advance of raw material
has^ affected prices. Wool hats con
tinue in fair demand. In boots and
shoes manufacturers have about 35
per cent more business than a. year
ago and are working full time.
Pittsburg—Hardware Jobbers report
a fairly good business from travelers
and by mail and seasonable lines are
moving out reasonably well. Building
materials are steadily called for and
window glass is commanding better
prices than for some time.
lOVjfA PRESS COMMENT.
triumph of
"The full import of the
Senator Dolllver over Senator Aldrich
cannot be estimated at this distance,"
says the Des Moines Register and
Leader. "Senator Aldrich is account
ed on the whole the most influential
member of the senate. At least he di
vides the honors' with Senator Allison.
It was a daring thing for a younger
senator to throw down the gauntlet to
him. It has been years since he suf
fered such an overturn, and it is pos
sibly not lo be wondered at that he
is peppery."
O—
Noting that an Indiana man claims
to have succeess'fully organized a suf
flcently large number of farmers who
will hold and demand $1 per bushel
for their wheat, the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil pauses to say: "Let's see:
a certain Mr. Leiter had a little ex
perience along that line once upon a
time, did he not?"
Bourke Cockran, it is rumored, is to
marry Mrs. Gardner this week. Not
ing this, the Clinton Herald observes:
"The great orator will now find that
eloquent sophistry may impress an
audience of ordinary people, but it will
have no effecf"Upon a sensible wife."
—-*4—
The editor of the Grlnnell Herald
was astonished to see two prominent
representatives of opposing factions in
the Iowa legislature stand leaning over
Denny Rally's bar in Des Moines tho
other day in a spirit of perfect har
mony, "Now the Interesting ques
tion," in the opinion of the Iowa City
Republican, is, "how did Editor Ray
come to see this incident."

There seems to the Sioux City Trib
une, to be a flaw in the theory of
President King, of Oberlln college,
that one can love more than one per
son at a time. "The women's clubs'
would seriously object," says the Trib
une, "as they did when Reed Smoot
was elected to the senate."
"It isn't "necessary to have an inves
tigating committee in Des Moines,"
says the Cedar Rapids Republican.
"Investigating committees are gener
ally jokes, long drawn out and non
conclusive. But if Governor Cummins
knows of any man. who has either
given or received money in connection
with legislation in Des Moines, let him
say so."
"It takes a veteran of the war of
'(l-'65 to adequately express the vir
tues of a man like the late beloved
Col. D. B. Henderson," says the Mason
City Globe-Gazette, "and he will havo
a worthy eulogist in Comrade George
D. Perkins."
——O—~
The Vinton Eagle observes "that
every democratic newspaper In Iowa
is in sympathy with Governor Cum
mins' self Imposed campaign for a
fourth term."
"Couldn't the governor have boiled
it down a bit and simply stated that
he was after the nomination because
ho wanted it?" asks the Fonda Times
"What a scampering for the tall
timber there would be," says the
Manchester Press, "if some of the
men who are howling like coyotes
about the free pass evil were asked to
turn their pockets inside out."
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first prompt to make unfounded and
unjust charges against honorable
men," says the Keokuk Gate Cityj#^
—O-—-*
The Cedar Rapids Republican says
that the question to be determined in
the Cummins third term contest Is
really whether a man can succeed in
Iowa politics by fighting his own
party.
"It is a noticeable fact," says the
Atlantic Telegraph, "that Governor
Cummins in his address at Fort Dodge
paid a high tribute to but one of
Iowa's senators. He Ignored the grand
eld senator from this state who is to
day the leader of the senate. Senator
Allison should never be ignored by a
public speaker when reference is made
to Iowa's two senators In Washington
His name should always come first"
"A big effort is being made in Iowa
Just now," observes the Harlan Re
publican, "to create the Idea that the
name of Roosevelt and Cummins
should always be mentioned in con
cert. There Is one marked difference
between the two men. Roosevelt
promptly-announced at the end of his
fifst term, which was a partial term
at .that, that he would under no cir
cumstances be a candidate for a third.
Applying the same rule as to partial
terms, Cummins is now working over
t:me to secure a fourth." A .,..
"In 1904," recalls the Cedar Rapids
Republican, "the governor demanded
majority nominations and designated
plurality nominations as a weakness.
In 1906 he demands plurality nomina
tions. The weakness which he saw in
1904 has passed away, and whoever !s
not considered strong for that which
he then looked upon as weak is an
enemy- of the common people and a
tool of the money power. What caus
ed the governor to change his mind?"
The Des Moines Capital expresses
the hope that if the legislature enacts
a Drimary law it will be in the interest
of the entire party and not in the In
terest of any faction.
The gifts for the silver wedding of
the emperor and empress of Germany
wore all in cash,/ and they aggregate
from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. The
gifts, however, do not go to the em
peror and empress, but. to charity.
Noting this, the Sioux City Journal
says: "There are some features of a
Monarchy which are not so objection
able as others."

A PRIMARY LE88ON
*sssj
Cedar Rapids Republican.—In" the
republican city convention last Thurs
day evening, in balloting for the nom
inee for city marshal, on the first bal
lot one man had 17, another 15, an
other 17 and another 26—we give the
figures from memory. The presiding
officer therefore announced that no one
having received a majority of all votes
cast, another ballot would be taken.
And the balloting was continued un
til one of the candidates had a ma
jority of all votes cast, that is more
than one-half.
.That Is what we call majority rule.
It is the principle upon which our re
publican form of government is based
We are all taught to concur In tho
verdict of the majority. That is our
court of last resort on public ques
tions. Submit it to the people—let the
majority rule"—so runs the formula
We can never afford to depart from
this kind of rule. We can npt abide by
the decisions of the minority.
1
We have seen. what majority rule
means. Opposed to that some men
have set the plurality rule in these
later days.
In the city convention of Thursday
night one of the candidates for mar
shal received 26 votes. He had the
most votes. He had a plurality, that
la he had more than any one other
candidate, but he did not have a ma
jorlty of the votes. If he had beer
accorded the nominations because ho
had the most votes, we would have
had the spectacle of a third of the
delegates making the nomination. It
would have been a plurality rule In
the convention and voters would not
have abided by its decision compla
cently.
It is this plurality rule that is part
of the proposed primary bill, now
pending in Deii Moines. That bill pro
vides that the candidate who gets the
ost votes will be declared the nom
inee, although his most votes may not
be a third or a fourth of all the votes
cast. If in a republican state primary
there were 180,000 votes cast and there
were four candidates for the nomina
tion and one received 60,000 votes, an
other 50,000, another 40,000, and tho
last 30,000 votes, under the proposed
primary, the man who received thy
60,000 votes, would be the nominee,
that Is one-third „of the state would
actually make the nominee for the
whole party.
That would be minority rule, and
v.nder It .no party organization could
be maintained. Men would not feel In
honor bound to abide by the verdict
of the minority.
Let us stick to the present majority
rule in conventions, until we can de
vise something better than what has
been proposed.
A SENATOR'S CONTEMPT CASE.
Baltimore American.—The case of
United States Senator Patterson, of
Colorado, who has been declared In
contempt by the supreme court of tho
state of Colorado, promises to becomo
a cause celebre. The senator is thj
proprietor of a newspaper which pre
sumed to criticise certain proceedings
of the court to the extreme of printing
a somewhat" stinging cartoon pictur
ing the reverend Justices in an uncom
plimentary light, the work of art be
ing so distasteful that the senator was
held in contempt and fined $1,000, al
though It is probable that he had no
knowledge of the pictorial portrayal
vntll he saw It in his publication. Th?
matter was promptly brought to the
fiupreme court of the United States
which body has granted a writ of er
ror, which operates as a supersedeas
and stays proceedings of the stat-i
bench until the case can be reviewed
in all Its aspects.
It has long been a mooted question
how far a judicial body, or member of
such body, shall be exempt from the
criticism to which all other public
officials are freely subject. By com
mon consent the unsoiled' ermine is
held to be sacred, as the judiciary are
assumed to be the embodiment of
probity and Impartiality. Any general
CKsault upon the integrity of the bench
•would be resented by communities,
slates and the^nation, for in the Judi
ciary of the land resides the last hope
of the injured to secure a square deal.
Since and before the time of Lord
Bacon, however, who was called the
"greatest and meanest of men," cor
ruption and injustice have occasional
ly come to the surface In unexpected
places upon the judicial bench, and
especially in some of the far western
states. Colorado and Montana being
conspicuous illustrations, many mem
bers of judicial bodies having shown
themselves to be worthy of nothing
but contempt.
It is gratifying that the case of Sen
ator Patterson has been brought be
fore the court of all courts at Wash
ington. The nine justices who occupy
that bench, whose Integrity is not to
bo thought of as assailable, will be
face to face with the question whether
they or their brethren of the lesser
ccurts are In any circumstances to be
held up to ridicule or objurgation. It
is a new question for the supreme
court, and its decision is of the ut
most importance. A reform body In
Cincinnati has just addressed to one
of the judges of that city a scathing
note, more extreme in its language,
p? obably, than was ever before sent to
a judicial officer, and the general
tendency in very recent years has
been to place the Judiciary on a level
with other officials in the matter of
criticism. An absorbing Interest will,
therefore, be felt in the opinion of the
nupreme court in the Patterson case.
As a universal proposition it may be
confidently asserted that a judge who
dispenses even-handed and absolutely
impartial justice has nothing to fear
from even the most reckless and ribald
of publications.

Former Ottumwan Has the Broadyvay
Habit But Geta Called.
Recently in the Chicago Record
Herald, a letter was published,purport
ing to be written by S. E. Kiser, the
furfny man of the paper, from Cali

In this letter Mr. Kiser makes seri

five years ago and went to New York
City. Mr. Kiser doesn't give the name

J- R-
of the Ottumwa man, and the Side
lights editor doesn't really care to
know It, but if you get a chance to
guess the name, you might tell your
friends about it.
The fdllowing is that part of the let
ter which refers to the former Ottum
wa man:
"In San Francisco, the otter day, a
man who had been sent out here from
New York to take charge of a branch
house that his firm had established,
began to bewail the fact that he was
'stranded in this out-of-the-way corner
of,'the world.' He held up a picture of
New York as it is seen from the bay
and said, with much feeling:
'There's the only town that is fit
for a white man to live in, and, please
God, I shall be back on Broadway six
months from now.'
'Broadway,' replied a Californian,
who overheard him 'oh, yes, that's
where the cars get stalled in the snow
and beggars stop men from the west
to ask for a few pennies, so that they
may be kept from starving. Broadway
Is where they have theatres with- two
story fronts and actors with whiskers
a week old. Broadway is where you
pay a week's wages for a meal, and
look at nineteen story buildings that
belong to other people. Broadway is
probably full of shivering people, who
are looking for jobs at this minute,
and won't be able to find any. Do you
know what you remind me of? You
make me think of a mule that is stand
ing knee-deep in clover an(d sorry that
he isn't out in the muddy road, hitch
ed to a load of coal.'
"The New York man, who had gone
to the metropolis five years ago from
the scenes of his childhood at Ot
tumwa, Iowa, passed on, disgustedly
remarking that it was useless to ar
gue with such a man.
