SILENCE Is nor GOLDEN.

There is no denying the fact that the
present state administration has no par
allel in the history OF the country for
maladministration, for corruption, the
expose of which has been made bv men,
bers of its organization, some Of them
high in Office. Charges of corruption
are not only made in a general way,
but direct specified personal charges
against the governor and his private
secretary, the attorney general, a num-
Der of the governors appointees, to-
gether with scandals about every state
charitable Institution, some of which are
heinous, and yet Mr.. Lewelling goes
along with his campaign talking of
plutocracy and serfdom of the farmer,
and the laboring man and the two old
parties with such gusto that one would
never imagine that breath of suspicion
had ever been raised about him or his
co-workers, totally ignoring the charges
his manhood and integrity.
This Is time when silence is not golden
The charges are either true or false
Coming as they do in so direct, plain
and uuquestionable manner, the public
must and will believe them because the
volume of the evidence establish their
truth. If they are not true Mr.. Lew
cling not only owes it to himself but to
his party to answer them, produce evil
dence 10 refute them and save the in
tegrity not only of himself as the chief
of this state, but his personal
honesty. The charges are of such a ma
state, regardless of party, and it is time
for the governor to speak.

COMPENSATION
Will Be Demanded from the
City for Alleged Damages
Caused by Filling Track Of Electric
Railroad on Water Street.
The Company Claims That the City Hadn't a
Shadow Of Right.

To ascertain the truth of the repor. that
the Electric Railroad Company would con-
test the assuued right of the tiy 10 FL in
the track on Water street, a JOURNAL re-
porter called on the president of the COM
pany, Hon. ]. Manchester Haynes. Mr..
Haynes, on Being asked concerning the
truth of the report, dictated the following :;
1--WE learn from the officers of the Elec-
trio Railroad that the action of the mayor
in closing the road in Water street was
without their knowledge or consent; thst it
was taken in the absence of the president,
the treasurer and the counsel of the road,
and apparently with knowledge of his ab-
sence that neither the president nor
the treasurer, nor the superintendent,
For any person actively engaged
in the management of the road has had any
knowledge either directly or indirectly from
either the mayor, the street comm 'sioner
o. any member of the city government that
the street, SO far as the Electric Road is
concerned, was not in Il condition salts fac
tory to the mayor and the municipal author
tiles. That the filing of the road was done
without the shadow of right and if sub
mittel to by the railroad would establish a
precedent which would absolutely
destroy the value of the
road AMI seriously impair the rights of the
public, who desire to use the public high
way in that manner. The conduct of the
mayor is tie more extraordinary from the
fact that the question of the rights Of street
railways and the municipal authority to
regulate them has just been judicially de-
termined in a neighboring city in favor OF
the street railway, under precisely the same
conditions as existed here. The right to
regulate street railway is not right to
destroy it. The officers of the railroad
will Immediately take steps to recover CON-
pensation for the damage suffered at the
hands of the mayor and to settle at once
the question of the right of the road to ex-
er2ise the privileges of the franchise
granted by the State"

The Common sense View.

The Oskaloosa Gowa) Times keeps
standing the following little object lesson
in advertising: "a newspaper has 5000
readers for each 1.00G subscribers. A
merchant who puts out 1000 handbills
gets possibly 800 or 400 people to read
them-that is. if the boy who is trusted
to distribute them does not chuck them
under the sidewalk. The handbills cost
as much as half column advertisement
in the home newspaper. All the women
and girls and half the men and boys
read the advertisement. Result: the
merchant who uses the newspaper has
3. 500 more readers to each ! 900 of the
Dapers readers. There is no estimating
the amount of business that advertising
does bring to a merchant. but that each
81 invested in advertising brings to the
investor somewhere from $50 to 800
worth Of business there can be no
doubt"

Did you ever think that the same syllable
is often used in a great many words? If
not suppose you learn it by playing the
following game: Write several words on
long slip of paper, leaving the space of
half an inch between the syllables of each
word Then cut out the syllables, assert
them. let each player draw three syllables
at random. From these three or from any
two of them, he must try to construct a
word. If unable to do so he must return
two to the pack, and wait until his turn
comes again, when he may draw three more
slips and try again.

"Value Received" is naturally the first
consideration of the people who wish to
buy. Lee, Wadleigh & Co. advertise IN
another column and guarantee to give their
patrons Just this; more, they guarantee to
suit their customers. They say that with
hard times the only thing to do to get trade
and keep the ball rolling is to give the
mos. possible for the money. Figures
won't lie is an old adage. but just as true
now as i, ever was, and they give the fig
ures. They keep fine stock OF grocer
les, large stock as we'll, and they are de-
termined to have trade. They are able to
do what they guarantee to do.
