REASONS WHY.

The democratic campaign managers
are saying with reference to the Office
of coroner that there are many rea-
onS why a doctor is preferred for this
Office, In many cases the coroner has
to have expert medical advice on a
subject and if the coroner was physi-
clan the county would be: saved the
fees of an extra physician"
! If the parties referred to had look
ed the matter up little they would
have found that the law provides pay
for all of said advice. If the subject
is poor and has no means the county
physician furnishes it under his con-
tract with the board of supervisors,
without extra charge; and if he does
have means, the costs are all charged
to MS or her estate.
When a. post mortem examination is
needed the doctor-coroner would have
both fees and the county would be no
better of than now.
The Official Register of Iowa, 1901,
Ieives the names OF ninety-nine coron-
ers. OF whom exactly five have had the
title of Doctor prelxed to their names.
| The voters of Wapello county will
make no mistake in supporting David
Throne, the present coroner, who is
taking good care of their interests,
and the Office could not be more econ
olnically managed by doctor.

THE TRUSTS.

The time has come when the trust
problem in this country must be set
tied and settled right. Recently while
in the east a business man of stand
ing and reliability, who must of me-
cessity purchase heavily from the trusts
because they are now the only source
of supply of many articles, made a
statement to the editor of the Courier,
which is not only startling but in
some respects alarming. 1t was to
the effect that large trust had
practically ordered him to buy exclu-
sively of them, and to discontinue
what they denominated offensive ut.
terances against the trust. The threat
was made that If he did not do as the

ly as amy other man but does SO at the
risk of his life, is something awful
The nation is presented with an ex-
ceedingly difficult problem in devising
means of adequately dealing with an
archists and suppressing their vile and
criminal utterances, without trans
crossing upon the right Of
free sIheech guaranteed by the
constitut ion. We believe, how
ever, that this can be done. That it
should be, done, no one but the anarch-
lists themselves will dispute. Certain
it is, that when men or women deliver
addresses or publish declarations urg-
ing and meeting their fellow men to
murder, theft, the obstruction of pro-
perty or the subversion of law, they
should be held strictly accountable for
their declarations just as a
newspaper or an individual is
today, held accountable for libelous
utterances against individuals, living
or dead. This is a free country and
the spirit Of freedom should be de-
vcloped and sacredly observed, but in
our opinion there is no greater menace
to the glorious liberty and freedom
now enjoyed by the people than the
teachings and actions of the small CO
| terie of despicable anarchists who
have endeavored to fasten themselves
upon this body polite.

growing out OF fear for the standard
of value is plague that will sweep
over every inch of territory within
the sovereignty. of the United States
and its victims will be those who have
least to do with its origin" On the
question of taxation, Mr.. Cummins
cannot be misunderstood. He believes
the executive council when fixing the
assessment of railways to be acting
as a judicial body, and as he expects
to become a member Of that body,very
naturally does not state definitely
what Should be done in advance of the
hearing. He does say, however, that
a portion of property concealed from
the assessor should be forfeited to the
state, unless a better plan can be de-
yised for reaching property which
now remains invisible, that railroad
companies cannot complain if they
are compelled to pay taxes upon val
uation which puts them upon an
equality with the owners of lands and
lots, that authority to determine the
value of property is lodged in the ex-
ecutive council, and finally, that if the
people believe he has intelligence
enough to ascertain what the value
Of railroad property is and courage
enough to declare it, then he is EMIT
led to their confidence and support
| He added that if they believed him
| to be lacking in intelligence, integrity
Or courage, then he was unworthy to
receive either the trust Or votes OF
Iowa people.

sTRENuoUsNEss

That the people out in the Oklahoma
country are living up to a high ideal
Of strenuousness, seems to be indicat-
ed by the local items which we notice
in recent issue of the Lawton Re-
publican kindly sent to theCourier by
Geo. Silvers of Ottumwa. One of the
items refers to the moving of house
through the streets of Lawton on
which the spectacle was presented of
the carpenters being busily at work
all the time the house was being NOV.
ed. The Republican says:
CAS- the teams were hauling it to
the new location the shinglers never
halted in their work, and the sounds OF
the nail and hammer were mixedt
with the creak of aXles. Such is the
hustling way in Lawton."
Another item says:
"Lawton people have built over /,
900 buildings in less than two months
No city in the world ever beat that
record 1t speaks for the push and
enterprise of the city"
Verify the people of Oklahoma are
hustlers.

The positive declaration of Senator
Allison, of Iowa, in an interview civ
en- out in Chicago, that congress will
undoubtedly take action this winter to
throttle anarchy in the United States
will be received with special gratifica-

son is profoundly right when he says
that congress should "do it's utmost
to pass suitable laws for the proven
ton of any such crime in the future,

as to the resources and possibilities
of the states of Kentucky, Tennessee.
Mississippi and Louisiana. The op.
portunities for investments in the
above mentioned states are unsur-
passed in any part Of this great coun-
try. Homeseekers' excursions to points
within these states are run by the
Illinois Central this, first and thisd
Tuesday of every nl onth. at a rate OF
one fare plus So and these excursions
should be taken advantage of by ey.

trust officials requested in these mat
tiers, his account would be summarily
closed and no further orders from him
would be filled. AS it was necessary
for him to buy largely of the trust, the
threat If carried out, would simply
mean ruin to his business. The same
gentleman stated that the trust had
arbitrarily increased prices from SO to
100 per cent, and that neither the
dealer nor the public had any re-
course.
Here is a condition of affairs which
is simply intolerable and which must
be met with unflinching courage and
determination. In this connection it
is exceedingly gratifying to note the
clear cut utterance of Hon. A. B.Cum-
minis, republican candidate for COVER.
nor, on this question. In his opening
speech of the campaign at Centerville
Mr.. Cummins said:
when, however, a combination at
tempts or attains practical monop
oily in the field embraced and uses OF
intends to use the unlawful and de
structive power thus acquired to ar
bitrarily fix the price of it's products
it becomes the enemy of good govern
ment. imperils the peace and good or
der of society, and inflicts upon the
people an injustice against which
they ought to, and will rebel"
The republican majority in the stat;
and nation has solved equally Difficult
problems in the past. 1t can and will
bring the trusts to sharp realization

SUPPRESS ANARCHY.

Rev.. Father Maniett, in his very
able address at the memorial exer-
cises held at st. Mary's Catholic
church, in honor of our martyred
President Mckinley, struck the key
.lote of tho true gravity of the situa-
ton when he said:
That here in America, here in a
nation fo1n6ed on the brotherhood of
man, in nattan whore the President
ID not q az8r ruling over serfs nor a
monarch ruling over vassals, but a
public servant of the people; that he
