DEMOCRATIC LOGIC

The Oskaloosa Journal in labored
article tries to show that because the
Board of Supervisors cut down the
allowance for prisoners confined in
the county jail from so cents to 40
cents per day, that Sheriff Cricket is
responsible for the consequent saving
of S4OO to $500 per year. That may be
democratic logic but it is mighty
lame. Suppose in the same way of
reasoning the Board had raised the
allowance to 60 cents, would Mr.
Cricket accept the responsibility OF
having increased the costs of the
county, or would he have for one
moment refused the increase? The
county Board ia unanimously rep, b.
ican, and this saving of $500 year,
Which the Journal halls as a good
thing is due to republican measure
pure and simple. This leads up tu
the conclusion that ifthe people want
an economical administration Of coun.
ty affairs they must endeavor to have
the entire republican ticket elected

A ITOOSYER. OIL RARON-


During t % time Mr.. Swain was in
Iowa and Oskaloosa, the Oskaloosa
Journal hailed him as a representa-
tive citizen and appeared to be proud
of him AS soon as he re urned to
his post of duty in the far end Of
South America they opened up their
mud batteries and tried to discredit
The HERALD by charging Mr.. Swain
with taking the money he received
for it out of the county. A reference
to the county recorders books will
show that Mr.. Swain invested most
of the money he received for Oska-
loosa property in Mahaska and
Wapello farming land, and he is
proud of these possessions. On the
other hand the editor and proprietor
of the Journal, has not been in Oska-
loosa for months and in his own
paper he carries the statement from
day to day that he has organized and
is the owner of a $4,000 Texas Oil
Company. In the language of the
Journal why does not Mr.. Wooster
invest that 500, 900 in Oskaloosa and
help build up his own town in place
of planting it in Texas to further an
uncertain enterprise?

GENEROUS OSKALOOSA.

Inscommenting on a recent article
which appeared in THE HERALD re-
lative to thelarge subscriptions made
to public enterprises in Oskaloosa
this year, the Waterloo Reporter has
these nice things to say of our town
and our people:
"It is not often that people stop to
take account of the money freely
given for public beneficences. In
every community giving for this pur-
pose is generously and literally
manifested, and the good deeds thus
done with money tell quite a story OF
humanity and a desire to better the
world If one only stopa long enough
to consider what is being done.
The city of Oskaloosa has displayed
this generous spirit to a remarkable
degree this year, and few towns of
it's size, in or out of Iowa, can make
a better resume of good deeds done
with money than the place mention
ed. Here is the record of what Oska-
loosa's public spirited citizens have
done in contributions for the general
welfare in the period 80 far elapsed
of the first year of the new century:

Torrance Got His Following and
Was Elected.

Cleveland. Sept. 13.-(Spl.)-Eli Tor
rance, of Minnesota, was elected COM
mander-in-chief of the G. A. r. at
Cleveland.
His opponents, Stewart, of Penn
sylvania, and General Sickles, of New
York, were united as far as watching
for schemes to defeat them were con-
cerned. For time it seemed that
Gen. Sickles was the most popular
candidate for the position of COM
mander, as his stand against Pension
Commissioner Evans and the resolu-
tions he read on the assassination of
President Mckinley marked course
popular with the body of the conven'
ton.
There was a great mass of work
that had to be got out OF the way be-
fore the voting on the candidates
could be done.
The Sickles faction lost ground
soon after the meeting of the conyen-
ton and the General withdrew froIi
the race, throwing his support to the
Minnesota candidate. Stewart, OK
Pennsylvania, remained in and fought
bitterly against defeat for a time, but
the strength acquired by his opposi-
ton from the Sickles forces was too
great for him to overcome and he was
defeated.
The minor officers will be selected
later in the day, and the fights will
be Just as brisk for the minor offices
as they were for the office of COM
mander.

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 13.-(Spl.) The

he. went away on account of ill-health,
il being feared he had consumption.

secure definite information concerning
Leon Czolgosz and Emma Goldman as
conspirators and to thereby secure the
extIadition of the latter.
According to the information in po-
session of the police here, about three
weeks ago, DR.. Saylin went to drug
store, kept by Chas. r. Sawatski at
1923 Broadway. He Is said to have
had a talk over the long distance tele-

ester. Then he asked Mr.. Zawatski,
who maintains an agency for the Amer
lean Express Co. for an express money
order for $40, payable to Emma Gold
man at Rochester.

Rochester, where he spent three days
with Emma Goldman. With him was
n short, medium sized man. evidently
n Hebrew for whom the police are
looking. Emma Goldman came TO Buff
falo after DR.. Saylin returned. The
police are informed that she stayed at
DR.. Saylins house for several days
and that she was seen on the street
in the evening with Czolgosz several
times.

Believes That the President Can
not Live.

Dr.. w. G. Jacobs, of this city, whose
experience in treating gunshot wounds
is second to none, says that in his
opinion the result of the relapse of
the President will be fatal.
The shock resulting from a gunshot
wound is very great and the destruc-
tion of tissue that results is also ex-
tensive.
'erhe shock and its consequent effect
on the heart is the same as often fol-
lows in cases of this kind" said Dr..
Jacobs, "and the cases where there
is collapse are generally fatal. The
fact that the Presidents heart failed
him is almost proof that hope must
be abandoned"
