The friends of Mr.. o. J. Laylandel
of Powesheik county are urging his
nomination for the Office Of State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The Brooklyn Times has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject:
THE State superintendent must
be man of liberal education, OF
wide experience, of educational
standing, and a man whose person
atty will add strength to the ticket.
poweshiek county can name q man
VIII ose long and successful experience
and service within her borders alone
would entitle him to the place. He
is not a resident of this county now,
nor can a successful school man be
localized since his success keeps him
advancing to places more desirable.
In presenting the name of Supt. q.
j. Laylander, now Of Cedar Fails. Ia.
we believe we name the most avail
able man in the state for the place.
He is thoroughly familiar with all
the lines OF educational work from
the district school to the manage
ment OF a system Of schools which
under his direction have gained q
state reputation.
The teachers of Iowa know him
through the educational press and
his extensive institute work, and his
personal acquaintance in the frater-
nifty is probably broader than that
of any other school man in the state.
He is an Iowa democrat of the pro-
gressive Cleveland and Boies school,
fully equipped for the duties of the
Office, and a successful man where
ever put to the test. Let us see that
he is nominated and elected.

Did You Ever Stop to Think,

Did you ever stop to think that one
man cannot build a party alone!
Did you ever stop to think that it
is united effort that must be obtained
to accomplish anything in a political
movement?
Did you ever stop to think it is
your duty to help on this fight as
much as the newspaper man!
Did you ever stop to think that
the editor must dvote his time to get
ting out the paper and that you can
do your share only by getting him
more readers among your friends and
neighbors?
II you never thought of these
things sit down for half an hour and
think them over and then make up
your mind that you will assist him
what you can. 1t would be but q
few moments work for each of our
old subscribers to get one apiece to
take the paper, and in SO doing they
would double our list in few days
time, while we have not been able to
do that in the past ~ months. Lewis

The Farmers Alliance will close
the ''Souther outrage mill, that has
been SO successfully operated by
Northern editors who never went to
war, solely to enable a billion dollar
congress to get in its work on the
people. Its work almost takes the
breath Of such demagoeues as the
Postyille Review man. A small in
crease in expenditures by the legisla-
ture Of a neighboring state in which
was a sprinkling Of Alliance men,
causes him to rise up and advise the
farmers to abandon the organization.
But Republican congress SO strong
that it could count a quorum for any
work, and corrupt enough for any
crime against the people, making ap-
preparations of $500, 600, 900 in excess
of its predecessors, he can look upon
with the utmost complacency and
approval. And yet such man shouts
demagogue ''The echo ought to
startle him.

Mrs. o. H. Luckens of Crookston,
Mimi, was in town last Saturday
with Mr.. Anan Anderson and con-
tracted with NJ. A. Kline, for q
monument for her son, Bernhard NJ.
Butler by q former husband. While
the negotiations were going on, the
agent of an Eastern marble establish
ment had the impudence to follow
them to the opposite side Of the street
and call Mr.. Anderson over to him,
attempting to prevent Mr.. Kline
from making sale, and to secure
the work for men in another state.
And he is the kind Of q fraud who
one year ago posed before the peo-
pie OF Cresco as the especial champi,
on of our local interests, and In be-
half OF one who had obtained a very
unsavory record in the courts of the
district.
The man who would be guilty of
these things is he who by some
strange misfortune seems to have
charge of the cemetery work in the
Cresco cemetery, using his position
there to feather his own nest and
fleece the unfortunate public, charg-
ing $500 for digging a grave, and
paying the man who performs the
labor $a.00. He is the kind of a man
we like to know Is q psrso4al enemy
Of ours, for if he was among sut
friends we should look about to see
what great wrong we had been.guilty
of. That there may be no mistake
made we mention the first three
words of his name, Jesse B. Barber.

Opposed to material advancement
OF the Race.

The Postyille Review, true to it's
self but false to the progress of the
human race in labored article in
its last issue, insists upon keeping
the human family in tights" as it
was before the improvements in
transportation, machinery, imple-
ments, telegraph and other modes of
communicating news and intelligence
and in finance. jeremiah w. Rusk
Sec'y Of Agriculture, judged by a
recent utterance differs widely from
the non-progressive editor of the Re-
view. Mr.. Rusk says:
am of those who believe that the
farmer in politics has come to stay.
More, l am of those who believe that
in spite Of possible, nay, inevitable
blunders on the part of men COM
paratively untried in the conduct of
public affairs, the presence and the
influence of the farmer in politics will
ultimately prove beneficial to the
country at large. Do not ask the
farmer to be satisfied with his lot, on
the ground that, by comparison with
some other period of time, he is bet
ter off than people were then; it is
an unreasonable request. The surest
guarantee to the stability of any
government is to be found in the
enjoyment of equal privileges by all
classes of its citizens, and just dis
tribution among them of the benefits
as well as the burdens of the political
structure.
This is sensible talk. The question
is not what privileges the farmer and
aaboring man had under former con-
ditions of society, but what is he en-
titled to get for his products and
industries under the present condi-
tions Of society, business and pro-
gress, that mark the social and bust.
ness relations and progress Of the
world.

it has caused worse condition OF az
