John R. Beavers has the ability to
discharge the duties of county super
intendent of schools equal to any occu-
pant of the position which Decatur coun.
ty has ever elected, and his experience
has not been along lines calculated tc
create bias in his mind for any par.
ticular faction or class. All applicants
for certificates at his hands would re.
ceive fair treatment and there would be
no influences tending to detract from
the efficiency Of the schools in case Of
his election.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the democrats of Iowa, in con-
vention assembled, hereby affirm the
principles OF the democratic national
platform adopted at Kansas City, July
Is, 1900, and without surrendering our
convictions or abating our loyalty to
our national. politics, we believe this
campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
"Resolved, That the fundamental
principle of democracy, equal rights to
all and special privileges to none,' ap-
plies in full force to the subject of taxa
ton. The democratic party believes
that the burdens Of taxation should be
born equally by all taxable property. We
pledge our members of the general as
sembly to formulate and urge the adop
ton Of such law as will compel the
burdens of taxation to rest upon cor
porate and individual property alike
without favor to or exemption Of any
interests.
"We demand economy in the admin
stration of state affairs, the repeal O
the mulct law, the enactment of loca
option law, the abolition of the office o
state printer and state binder and the
contracting of supplies for tn estate will
4 the lowest possible bidder"

The official estimates for the fiscal
year, beginning July l, 1902, which
Postmaster General Smith will submit
to congress at the opening of the session,
call for an aggregate Of 81 million ool-
lars for rural delivery service through
out the country. This is an increase Of
q million dollars over the expense of
that growing service for the current
year. The total for the free delivery
service proper, which is that operated
in cities, is Isl millions an increase of 8
per cent. The grand aggregate for the
entire postal free delivery service, in.
elusive of both free delivery and rural
free delivery, is slightly over q million
dollars.

Perfect, Delicious,
Appetizing.

Geo. w. Baker is the man the voters
of Decatur county should place in the
legislative halls. He is man with abil-
ity and integrity. He is man that is
not tied down by any clique or faction
and will be free to act and vote in the
interest Of his constituents and not the
railroads and corporations. He is in
favor of compelling the railroads and
corporations to pay their just proper
ton of taxes the same as the farmer
does, and if elected will use his best ef-
forts to secure this needed reform. He
would be all honor to Decatur county
and for the first time in many years we
would have representative who is not
the tool of a gang Of dishonest political
tricksters.

Superintendent Barrett in his bien-
nial report to the governor will recon-
mend the adoption of what is known as
the Cowles bill for support Of high
schools. This bill provides that the
state would offer bonus of $40O to any
district high school that would main
tain the high school free OF tuition to
jail persons from the country. The bill
was beaten in lhe last legislature be
cause it was not understood. The sup
erintendent approves the bill and with
the approval it is likely to become a
law. The general purpose is to afford
to residents of the farms as we'll as the
towns chance to secure high school
education.

The Pittsburg Post observes that
President Roosevelt got himself into
more trouble than he looked for during
the solemn hour following President
McKinley's death, when he voluntarily
announced that he would without hesi-
tation appoint to any Office whatever
any man who had actually been Sc
lecled for that place by President Nc.
Kinley. He began this by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Ridgely, Of Illinois, as
comptroller of the currency, merely
upon The assurance of Secretary Cortle-
you that President Mckinley had al
ready fully determined to appoint Mr..
Ridgely. Since then President Roose-
velt in twoe or three similar cases has
followed his original plan, but it APP
pears that his kindness to the late presi-
dents protege is being taken advantage
of by designing politicians to further
their own ends. Almost every man
who has seen the president about an
Office within the last week or so has
declared with manifest emotion that
President Mckinley had already deter.
mined to appoint his man. Unfortu.
nately rival aspirants have made this
plea, and President Roosevelt has laid
down the rule that the intentions oi
President Mckinley must be established
by some official act or the comrnunica
ton of his intentions to some response
bic official.

Mr.. Robert P. Porter was for years
the advocate of high protective tariff.
He was one Of those Englishmen who,
like Carnegie, found that the weak and
gullible phase of American character is
the guise to get something for nothing.
So he became an expert on tariff sophis.
try and helped to fool the American
people. Now that lemon is squeezed.
1t is useless to talk to Americans any
more in regard TO the beauties of high
tariff. "The day Of exclusiyeness Is
past" said Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Porter
now sees that the true line Of policy is
to make treaties that will neutralize our
high tariff. He is Fastening to advise
Mr.. Roosevelt that the country will find
itself swamped in sea of troubles
unless it let's up on its greedy tariff.

Thus far the schley inquiry has
brought out a mass of testimony to the
effect that there is bitter feud and
feeling among naval officers, for which
there is no good reason. Sailors quar-.
rels evidently are like women's quarrels.
They are incomprehensible to the ordi.
nary landlubber masculine.
