No man in the United States has
stood up with such heroic fearless
ness and such !nvincible determine.
ton for his principles and for the
interests Of his constituents, as he
understood them, as has ex-
Congressman Weller. No man has
received such showers Of malignant
hate poured down like rain on his
devoted head. He dared to stand
up alone and defy the tyrannical
money power even when implored
by leading Democrats to cease his
opposition. He was true to the
people 10 the crucial hour. No force
however powerful, no fiattery
however cunningly presented could
lure him to yield an inch when he
found he had the monster by the
throat. As IN individual, Mr.. VEL
Ter brought TO bear more influence
upon the legislation Of congress
than any other man In It or out Of

malignant enemies and may rs well
he accepted as true. He stood in

notes called grccnbacks. During
that time less than 100000 OF
greenbacks have been presented for
redemption. At four per cent per
annum the interest on the bonds
which this reserve fund should have
redeemed amounts to nearly 126, Co.,

cratic and republican press OF the

It is d curious fact that one OF the
most famous poems in our language
appeared originally in q magazine
that seldom touches poetry at all and
the same periodical, after an interval
Of sixty-six years, now brings out
another poem very similar in theme.
Bryant's "ThanatDpsis' was first
printed in the North american
Reuier for September. 1917. The
May number OF the Review, just out,
has poem by Robert Buchanan on
1.-THE New Buddha." The critics
found fault with Mr.. Bryant's poem
on the ground that it was IN Chris
tian; it remains to be seen what they
will say OF Mr.. Buchanan's. The
question" Has Christianity Benefited
Woman?" is ably discussed in this
number by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Bishop j. L. Spalding.

The approaching summer and fall
campaign in Iowa will be one in
which every inch Of ground win be
contested. This, and the Importance
OF it in local and national point OF
view, renders it important that the
counties be thoroughly organized
for the contest, and that the best and
most worthy and capable members
Of the party locally be put in the
field as standard bearers. In this
way, and in this way only, can this
county be triumphantly carried
against the Des Moines regency and
its outgrowsh, the rotten republican
party.
For representative we hear men,
toned the following good and worthy
names, any one OF whom could be
elected and who would represent the
interests Of our county, viz: John
McCook, Hon. S. s. Lambert, J. j.
Lowry, Thomas Griffin. Thomas
McCook, and John E. Peck.
For Supervisor we hear but one
name mentioned, Chas. Keefe as his
own successor.
For county Superintendent, the
names of G. III. Faulks and Byron
Nichols are prominently mentioned.
For Auditor, the name Of A. L.
Wallace and O. G. Wanless have
been mentioned, ard no better can
be found in the county than either
of them.
For county Treasurer, il. Lowry
Evans H. Jones are brought to the
front. Either can be elected and in
the event Of either filling the Ocacc
county will be well and honestly
served. No candidate seems to have
materalized for Sheriff, at least none
has been mentioned fof the place So

The originality and strength which
gave 1.-THE Story OF a County Town
an intense fascination and interest
make .Thc Mystery OF the Locks
one OF the most remarkable novels
Of the season. In dealing with dark
scenes and in weaving q soul mys-
terry, Mr.. E. W. Howe possesses a
power that resembles the keen in
sight OF Hawthorne; in portraying
character he is most artistic, and in
const 4 ting o plot he is thoroughly
dramatic. The clearness and un-
affected carnestness Of his style con-
tributed in great measure to the full
appreciation OF the story which he
proposes to tell. The scene is laid
at Davy's Bend a river town Ia the
West, which affords an opportunity
for fine aud original descriptive
writing. But MI. Howe does not be-
long to the. school OF realistic
writer's, and the town and characters
are interesting only for their artistic
qualities. Upon rainy night. a
mysterious stranger takes up his
abode in a forsaken house, called
"The Locks" on account Of the
variety and number OF the locks to
the doors. The romance and mys-
FERROUS life Of the pew inmate arc
graphically and impressively told.
Several incidents OF the book give
thrilling impression-the rise Of the
river, the episode OF the baritone,
the footstep Of the strange visitor.
Tug White and his meek friend
are novel characters, and little Ben
is pathetic and natural.
As the Art AJe says: I'm fiction,
the first place may be accorded to
"The Mystery OF the locks" by z. W.
Howe. This author, by the unusual
and peculiar success OF his first
book, The Story OF y Country
Town. has taken foremost rank
among those American writer's
whose works SAVIOR OF the soil.It is
probable that this new book, which
is in many respects an Improvement
on its predecessor, especially as re-
CARDS artistic form, will adj much to
his reputation. The portrayal OF
local American characteristics is
carried by Mr.. Howe to a science

Some Of the republican papers are
mentioning that Miss Cleveland has
appeared in public but three times,
each appearance being in q different
dress. We can remember away back
to the time when there was no re-
publican party. In those days II
was quite common for all ladies to
have several changes In dresses
And men often had clothing SO they
could enjoy change OF underwear
then. Not till the republican party
had several years at the people were
these things different.

The entire financial question Is
embraced in the simple issue OF a
small volume Of money, or, a large
volume of money. Those who favor
the former would thereby make the
rich richer and the poor poorer.
Those who favor the latter would
thereby give all men chance to
prosper and to enjoy the fruits Of
their own industry. Party drill
has hitherto divided those who
favor the latter, and now that the
attempt to demonetize silver for the
evident purpose OF reducing the
volume Of money iE the interests Of
the rich is reason enough why the
masses should combine to thwart
their wicked purpose. The coinage
Of silver and its payment from the
treasury will initiate the currency aud
thereby make times better, for this
we favor it.
