GOING ARMED 1NKENTUcKY.

At the time of the recent shooting
ARRAY at Frankfort, KY, in which
Col. Colson was concerned the Courier
commented on the fact that that melee
resulted directly from the pernicious
custom of private citizens carrying
arms. While the lamentable shooting
of Senator Goebel Tuesday cannot
be assigned to exactly the same cause
yet it is perhaps an indirect result of
the same custom. Familiarity with
firearms in private life always leads
to light regard for the lives of men,
and from this comes attempts at as
sassination.
The habit spoken of is wide spread
one in Kentucky. When Harland
Whitaker, the man suspected of shoot
ing Goebel, was arrested, three load
ed revo1vers were found on his person.
AS white man was hurrying to the
state house to join the crowd he was
jost1ed by negro and blow result
ed. The white man Immediately drew
a ''gun" and fatally shot the fellow.
It is safe to say that in all the crowd
that assembled on the streets of
Frankfort there was not one man in
ten that was not armed. This is a
state of affairs which leads to brawl-
ing and murder. If fewer Kentucky
citizens would go armed the white
winged angel of peace" would visit
that locality more often and probably
stay longer at a visit.

THE NATIONAL EDITORIAL Assoc.
CITATION.

The editor of the Courier has accent
ed an invitation from President r. II.
Henry to deliver an address before the
National Editorial association, which
will hold its annual meeting in New
Orleans on March 1, 2 and 8. The sub
jects discussed by this association are
of the most practical character ana
the purpose is to have each handled bv
one who speaks from successful expe-
rience as well as an intimate knowl-
edge Of every detail. The subject as
signed TO the Courier editor is show
to Build up the Circulation OF a Local
Daily" The National association is
composed of delegates from the various
state and district associations one del
egate for each twenty-five members.
This year the delegates will assemble
az st. Louis on February 20 and will
be carried by special train from there
to New Orleans, stopping enroute one
day each at Memphis and Vicksburg,
Tenn, and Jackson, Miss. The asso-
citation will reach New Orleans in time
for the Mardi Gras festivities.

ABATING PUG1LIsM.

A bill has been presented to the state
legislature ostensiby for the purpose of
prohibiting prizeighting in Iowa, but
which really provides way in which
that sport can be legally INDUCED in.
The bill provides that prizeights shall
not be held except under the auspices
of athletic clubs, gymnasiums, etc.,
and then the consent of the sheriff OF
the county must be obtained. twill
not be difficult for sporting men to or
ganize club and call it an athletic as
ISOLATION. This can be done as often
and as quickly as they please. The
consent of the sheriff will not be hard
to obtain in many counties, and the
prizefghts can be pulled off in public
whenever the "athletic club" wants.
In counties where sheriffs will not
consent, there will be no fistic sport,
so that the law will operate to make
some places sporting centers while
others are quiet and orderly. The eff
feet of the measure would be to give
the sheriff of each county the right to
decide whether that county should

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
Rect Sugar Barbecue..

Waterloo Reporter: Beet sugar bar
becues have come into fashion in sew
eral ambitious Iowa towns, and the
enthusiasm that can be worked up
around the gumbo kettle is really mar
yelous, but its lasting qualities are to
be demonstrated yet. Enthusiasm has
frequently been known to rise to
great heights, but the sticking point
was just little beyond, and the ambi-
ton was never realized. Building beet
sugar factories are big undertakings
when the financial end is considered,
and enthusiasm generally cools rapid
~ when that very essential part of the
business is reached. Iowa ought to
have a few factories of that kind, but
with all her advantages and wealth
the ambition hasn't been realized.
Hope is eternal, however, whether it
is in human breast or in a sugar
factory.

Mr.. Bryan is evidently finding the
proposition an unpopu-
lar one. He is hedging. He is reported
by the Associated Press in an inter-
view in Minneapolis: ST am firm be-
lever in the enlargement and extern
sion of the limits of. the republic. I
don't mean by that the extension by
the addition of contiguous territory
nor to limit myself to that. Wherever
there is a people intelligent enough to
form part of the republic it is my
belief that they should be taken in.
This knocks the bottom out of the
proposition to make Bryan and anti
expansion the chief features of the
democratic campaign of 1900.

THE U. S. JUDGEsH1P.

Muscatine Journal: The Journal is
gratifed to learr that Hon. William
McNett, of Otthfnwa, has received a
very strong endorsement for appoint
ment as United States Judge Of the
Southern districtiof Iowa. ito fill vacan-
cy caused by the death Of Judge Wool
son. The leading members of the
Muscatine bar have endorsed his can
didacy, believing him in every way
qualified to fill the position and worthy
of the honor.
This question is to be settled in a
few days by the Iowa senators and
those representatives in congress whose
districts in whole or in part are in the
Southern judicial district. We sincere
ly hope they will see their way clear
to unite on Mr.. McNett. We are con-
WINGED that his appointment would be
satisfactory to the bar generally
thruout the district, and that his
administration of the court would show
him to be the right man in the right
place.

of Judge Woolson, will undoubtedly be
made at an early date. The Times
has private information from Wash
ington that the contest for this posi-
ton has practically narrowed down to
four of the twenty or more candidates,
who have been mentioned from time
to time. These four are Hon. William
McNett,-of Ottumwa; Hon. j. G. Davis,
of Keokuk; Judge Towner, of the
Eighth district, and Judge Smith OF
Council Bluffs. These are all strong
men, any one of whom will fill the po-
only one can be appointed aud the
Times is in hopes that in this instance
the appointment will go to Mr.. Me-
Nett. During a two years residence
in Ottumwa, the editor of the Times
came to know Mr.. McNett personally.
AS a man and lawyer, he is eminent
ly qualified for the position of federal
Judge. In our opinion no person who
could be named for the position will
bring to it higher degree of ability
and worthiness in every respect than
Mr.. McNett. In addition to the solid
support of the Sixth district in which
he resides Mr.. McNett has "a strong
following elsewhere, a good deal OF
which is in the Second district. He
has been recommended by the leading
attorneys of Muscatine. as we'll as
State Senator Titus and Postmaster
Roach. In Davenport number of
leading attorneys are among Mr.. Nc
Nett's supporters. His splendid quail
ifications are known and recognized
far beyond the limits of his personal
acquaintanceship."

THE WEST IN CONGRESS.

Pueblo (Col.) Chieftain: The present
congress will be memorable for years
to come as the one in which the west
took parS it had never heretofore
occupied. The present speaker is the
first man from the vast region west or
the Mississippi river to WELD the gavel
over the deliberations of the more nu-
merous house. And while Colonel Hen
derson is filling this post of great
prominence and power he gives his rec
ognision as to leaders in their parties
and in the nation to western men like
himself. He does this thru no partiali-
ty, but because any speaker would, by
the nature of the western men, be
compelled to do the same thing. In
deed, one has but to look at the speak
ers own state, Iowa, and its represen-
tatives to see how the sun of national
leadership has been moving westward.
No state east of the Mississippi can
boast such sextet of men of large
proportions as Henderson, Cousins, La
cey, Hull, Hepburn and Dolliver. Nor
is it the personnel of the members
from the west alone that congress is
shown to be more western than ever
before. The chiefest things of interest
apart from the currency bill that have
come up since the assembling of con-
gress are western matters. The days
when the trans-Mississippi region is to
take the most prominent place at
Washington are at hand.

They Endorse rlcNett.

Burlington Hawkeye: The Alusca-
tine Journal announces that the lead
ing members of the Muscatine bar
have endorsed Hon. William McNett,
of Ottumwa, for the federal judgeship,
believing him in every way qualified to
fill the position and worthy of the
honor.
''This question is to be settled" says
the Journal, Sin few days by the
Iowa senators and those representa-
tives in congress whose districts in
whole or part are in the southern iu-
dicial district. We sincerely hope they
will see their way clear to unite on Mr..
McNett. We are convinced that his
appointment would be satisfactory to
the bar generally turnout the district
and that his administration of the
court would show him to be the right
man in the right place."

have prize-f Citing or not. The New
York law which is similar to the Iowa
bill is soon to be repealed and then
perhaps the proud Hawkeye state will
have the pleasure of witnessing with
in her borders some of the great ma
tional championship contests. How
ever this may be, it is not amiss to say
here that if there is such a thing as
better and worse in prize fighting, the
big contests are the lesser evil. The
dirty little fights that take place be-
tween Iugilists Of merely local re-
nown are the worst kind of farce up.
on what is facetiously called t'the
manly art of se1f-defense." And it is
these kind of exhibitions that will fol-
low one another in sickeuing success
sion if the bill introduced in the 1egis-
lature becomes a law.

Under the title Buying at Home"
the Chicago Tribune prints an editor
ial unfolding the policy of the Iowa
board of control in buying of the low
est bidder regardless of whether that
bidder is resident of Iowa or not.
The view is a characteristic one for a
Chicago paper to take and the editorial
is given below for what it is worth:
''The answer of Mr.. Cownie, of the
Iowa board of control to the criticism
of the boards policy in purchasing sup
plies outside the state should set crit
icism at rest. In the first place the
law requires that the BOARD advertise
for bids, and when it has bids it is
clearly it's duty to spend the states
money wisely and economically by buy
ing the best goods at the cheapest
prices. The Iowa firms are favored
when prices are equal, and surely more
could not be asked, except by the firms
who sought the contracts and failed to
get them. IF we farmers took our
stock to Chicago and they refused to
buy it because we weren't residents of
Illinois we would think it remarkable"
says Mr.. Cownie. In this last remark
of his in the answer to many argu-
ments that are made in small towns.
Merchants are constantly declaring
that it is the duty of the people in the
community to buy at home instead
of in the cheaper markets, it being
urged that personal interests and the
individual pocketbook should be sac
rifced for the good Of the locality.
The merchant himself does not act on
this plan. He buys his goods wherever
he can get them cheapest, and that is
exactly what anyone should do. It is
only in a small town that such notions
can obtain. Fancy anyone in Chicago
paying 20 uer cent more for Illinois
vegetables or 40 per cent more for Cook
county vegetables than they need pay
for Iowa products merely because of a
desire to help the county's farmers or
those Of the state"
