BUILD UP DEN1soN.

Now that we have done our
share to save our country accord
ing to our light, it is ample time
that we turned our attention to our
own community and our own bust
ness Interests. DThe new time cards
given out by our railroads are very
favorable to Denison. We have a
large number of trains in and out
ofcur city every day and the county
seat can easily be reached from
nearly every town in the county.
1t remains therefore for our mer-
chants to make such inducements
to the people of the county that
they will come to Denison to trade.
If we do this we will have the big
gest fall trade Denison has ever
known. This is a matter the
Business Mems Association may
we'll take in hand. The fare from
any of the adjacent towns is but
small and our merchants could
we'll enter into some arrangement
SO that this could be refunded to
all out of town purchasers. During
the campaign the Business Mems
Association has been allowed to
drop but now that the excitement
and enmitles of election are to be
dropped for the next two years it
is time we got together for bust
ness purposes. 1t would be we'll
for the Association to call meet
ing for the purpose of discussing
this and kindred topics.

ANOTHER YEAR OF BLUME.

1t now appears that the consti
tutional amendment has carried
and that this county is to be mis-
represented during another session
of the legislature by Theodore
Blume. This particular Blume is
a posy. He does not know asnow
bank from mud puddle. The
worst thing about him is that he
thinks he knows it all. AS an
agent for Chicago mail order hous-
es he does his utmost to iniure
every business man in Crawford
county. He could not be elected
dog catcher in any township in the
county and yet he is the man
whom the democrats of this county
have folsted upon us for five years.
Our county would be infinitely
better off if it had no representa-
ton in the legislature and every
intelligent democrat in the county
knows it. 1t seems pretty long in
coming, but some day the people
of Crawford will revolt against
democratic misrule.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON SHAY.

One of the greatest advocates of
republicanism during the last cam
palgn was Hon. L. M. Shaw of
Denlson. He made speeches in
nine different states and every
where he was heralded after his
address as one of the ablest and
most convincing of orators. Mr..
Shaw is a man who is growing
every day. In all the west there
is no man who stands higher in the
affections of the republicans. OF
all the western statesmen he stands
the highest in the estimation of the
east. Gov. Shaw would make an
ideal candidate to succeed William
McKinley.> We are not making
an announcement of his candidacy,
we have never talked seriously
with him on the subject and four
years is good ways ahead for any
one to prophecy. Even Mr.. Bry-
an could not prophecy worth a
cent four years in advance. We
do believe however that there is
every indication that Iowa will
have chance to secure the Presi-
dency four years from now in the
person of L. M. Shaw and we be-
lieve it would be wise for the re-
publicans of the state to begin to
figure on just such contingency.
The republicans of Iowa can do
much to build Mr.. Shaw up or to
tear him down. Mr.. Henderson
as speaker has been and will be
highly honored. Mr.. Allison has
had his try at the Presidency, Mr..
Dolliver is firmly seated in the
Senate and will we believe be con-
tented foreman there for number
of years to come. The only man
in Iowa outside of these three who
would have the slightest chance to
become the republican standard
bearer is L. M. Shaw. There are
many other brainy men in the
state but none who have made
such an impression on the people
OF other states. We believe Mr..
Shaw could rally to his support all
the states of the Central West and
we believe this matter is worthy
the best efforts of Iowa repubh-
cans. The Review sticks to its
old motto, "Keep your eye on
Shaw"

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The holding of a constitutional
convention will mean the creation
OF new constitution, for the rea-
SON that no convention of THAT
character ever met without framing
a constitution. The new constitu-
ton will differ largely from the
present one in many respects.
The state has progressed since the
present constitution was adopted
and the government of cities and
towns will open up prolific field
for the constitution maker, The
government of corporations is
something unthought of when the
present constitution was created
and adopted. The world has been
revolutionized in many ways since
1857 and the new constitution will
make the present code obsolete
and will render valueless the great
work OF creating a code. 1t is I'M
fortunate that the attention Of
the people was not more definitely
called to the fact that two PROPOSE
tons were pending in regard to the
constitution. The people have
evidently voted with misappre-
henslon. They desired to adopt
the Titus amendment, but voted
tor both propositions. The CON
stltutional convention and its ex-
penses will be important and the
abrogat.on of the code will be
more important and the entire mat
ter will produce civic revolution.
those who favor the suppression
OF the liquor traffic and those who
favor woman suffrage undoubtedly
voted for the convention with their
eyes wide open and will be before
the people when it comes to the
election of delegates to the consti-
tutlonal convention. 1t is appar-
ent that Iowa will have plenty of
politics during the next five years
even though the Titus amendment
is adopted, making elections bien-

IT has pleased Almighty God
to bring our nation in safety and
honor through another year. The
works Of religion and charity have
everywhere been manifest. Our
Country through all its extent has
been blessed with abundant har-
vests: Labor and the great indus
tres OF the people have prospered
beyond all precedent. Our COM
merce has spread over the world
and our power and influence in the
cause of freedom and enlighten-
ment have extended over the dis
tant seas and lands. The lives Of
our official representatives and
many OF our people in China have
been marvelously preserved. We
have been generally exempt from
pestllence and other great calami-
ties, and even the tragic visitation
which overwhelmed the city Of
Galveston made evident the SYM
pathy and Christian charity bv
virtue of which we are one united
people.
Therefore |, William McKin-
ley, president of the United States
DO hereby appoint and set apart
Thursday, the 2eth of November
next, to be observed by the people
OF the United States at home or
abroad, as a day of thanksgiving
and praise to Him who holds the
nations in the hollow of His hand
! recommend that they gather in
their several places of worship and
devoutly give Him thanks for the

ssWHY is IT.o

we are assalled with the ques-
ton from many sources, "What
keeps Crawford in the democratic
column" This question is wor-
thy the serious thought of every
republican. Why is it, and how
can it be changed? We believe it
is due to the superior organiza-
ton which the democrats have in
county politics. 1t will be noticed
that every year the county demo-
cratic ticket runs ahead of the ma
tional.or state ticket. This indicates
plainly that there are many men
identified with democracy in coun-
ty politics who are not in sympa-
thy with the tenets of that party.
The returns show that republican
ism has gained in the American
townships and has lost in the dis
tinctly German and Irish town
ships. The returns also show that
wherever the Germans have moved
into American communities they
have become republicans. 1t is
safe to say that two thirds of the
Germans of Denison vote the re-
publican ticket. We are far from
giving up hope as to the final re-
demption of Crawford county.
We believe that before long the
Germans of Crawford will Join
with their German friends in Scott
county in voting the republican
ticket. In the meantime the place
where we must do our missionary
work is in the democratic town
ships of the county. Since 1896
we do not know Of a single instance
where an American republican has
turned to democracy and we know
of many democrats who have turn
ed republican in that time. 1t
will be two years now before
another county election and in that
time it should be the duty and
privilege of every republican to do
all he can in quiet and unobtrus
i've way to convince his neighbors
of the righteousness of republican
principles. However all that we
may say or do will not stand a
gainst the record CT the next two
years. If that record be a good
one our democratic friends should
need but little argument to con-
vince them that republicanism is
right. In short we are convinced
that the best republican argument
must be the results of the republi-
can administration. Every repub-
lican then who has any part in the
administration should do his ut
most to see that the record is a
good one.

A REPUBLICAN DUTY.

Among other things, the republi-
can party should see to it that con-
ditions in the south are changed.
Republicans tell each year of the
suppression of the ballot in the
south and the intolerable treat
ment accorded the negro, but up
to this time no effective legislation
has been adopted3to secure these
people their rights. This should
be one of the first duties of the re-
publican administration. We have
talked enough it is time to do
something. A national election
law should be passed which should
be fair to all but which should in
sist that the qualifications for ma
tional citizenship are the same in
all the states and that the citizens
of every state are given perfect
freedom in casting their ballots
and that their votes are counted.
We have tried fair words with the
south and they have shown moth
ing but blind adherence to democ-
racy, let it advocate what it will.
The south is democratic and that
party could declare for the free and
unlimited coinage of yellow dogs
and the south would be just as
firm and just as enthusiastic in its
support. Laying aside all question
of party advantage, however, the
treatment of the negro blythe dem
ocrats of the south is a crime a.
gainst humanity and just as the
north stepped in to give the negro
liberty, just as this country step
ped in to free Cuba from the tyran-
ny of Spain, just SO should the peo-
pie of the north demand that the
negro be recognized in his rights
of citizenship and that at least in
the national elections he should
have the right to cast his ballot
without let or hindrance. We
are old fogy republicans of the alb
clifton type and we believe that
this extension of the free and unre-
stricted right of suffrage to all
those to whom it is guaranteed by
the constitution is one of the first
missions of the republican party.
The only way to remove the negro
question from the south is to settle
it by guaranteeing to the negro the
right to vote. If the whites of the
south are once made to under
stand that further trifing with the
ballot and the rights of citizenship
will not be tolerated we believe
they will settle down to sane citi-
zenship and learn that there are
other questions in our government
than the negro question. The
southern people did not take kind
ly to the emancipation of the slave
and they will not take kindly to
the enforcement of the free ballot.
but just as they are now agreed
that the abolition of slavery was a
good thing they will some day re-
cognize that the enforcement of the
right OF suffrage was the best thing
that ever happened to the south
itself.

THE COURT HOUSE.

r. ~
There is much discussion in
Denison now as to the manage
ment of the court house campaign.
1t is easy to criticise but we believe
those having the matter in charge
did the best possible under the cir
cumstances. Had the matter
gone to vote three or four months
ago when it was first agitated it
would have been defeated by not
less than 500 votes. AS it was
Denison gave the people of the
county to understand that it was
just as much their affair as it was
Denison's. When new iron
bridge is needed in any township
no one thinks of asking that par
tlcular township to pay more than
its share of the bill, and so in the
matter of the court house the pso-
pie of Denison who have been
paying their share of the taxes for
years do not feel that they should
be asked to pay bonus for the e.
rection of a building of which the
whole county stands sorely in need.
The vote on the court house was
very gratifying in some respects.
1t shows growing sentiment in its
favor and it also shows that the
farmers were not afraid of a slight
extra expense. The outside towns
not the country, defeated the prop
osition. Vail and Charter Oak
gave large majority against the
proposition and one cannot be lead
to any other conclusion than that
it was defeated not on account of
its lack of merits but because of
the feeling in other towns that
they did not wish to do anything
to build up the county seat. This
condition of affairs is to be regret
ed. We know Of nothing that
Denison has done to merit this
more than to display very natur-
al desire to build up its trade and
to advertise its advantages as a
market. The court house ques-
ton will never be settled until a
new and adequate building is erect
led. The court house will never
be removed from Denison and
some day new court house will
be built. 1t would have been bet
ter to have built it now when times
are good and money can be OBJ
tanned at a low rate of interest,
but if the remainder of the county
can afford to wait Denison can al
so. While it is being built Deni-
son would certainly be benefited by
having labor employed and wages
paid here, but afterwards we can
not see how it would bring an adj
ditional dollar to Denison. The
people who have business in the
court house would come anyway
and would come if it was in any
other sly than the one in which it
is now located. The people should
think this matter over more care
fully and if they do we believe that
the next time the proposition is
presented it will meet with but lit
tie opposition.
