Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1871-10-05

Horace Greedy, in his talk to tho
farmers at Des Moines, last week,
hal this to say about every man
fencing up, or taking care Of his own
stock:
I'm New York, they beat the peo-
pie OF Iowa. They have a law that
compe's every farmer to take care Of
his cattle. You ought TO have that
law here. II you want your cattle
to run, send boy aud dog with
them. The fence tax is the heaviest
tax farmer pays; fencing to take

body wants bis stock to feed on the

to watch them, and not put his neigh

Beginning with the great Indian Of.

The system Of competition secures
on the part of those appointed a
number Of qualities which are not to

by this mode must, from the very
fact that they stand such a scrutiny,
be possessed OF good abilities. Sec
ondly, in order to acquire the neces-

DR.. McCosh, President Of Primo

ing OF the 124th academic year Of
that institution. which took place on
the 18th OF last month, made a few
remarks upon question Of political
reform Of pressing Importance to this
nation. Such sentiments are Of great
weight and the Doctor can speak
with an authority which few Ameri-
cans can boast. The Civil Service
reform is an educational reform with
as, and the following remarks strike
in the right place:
EVERY body is complaining OF the
extent Of political corruption in the
country. and thoughtful people are
snxiously inqniring how the national
disgrace may be wiped away. One
way Of securing this is by better
method Of appointing young men to
public Offices, taking the power out
ot tho hands Of the politicians, and
providing that the appointments he
got hy public competition. | speak
