of a questions. Just as sure as an
Important question came up they
were throwing chunks Of lead at
each other, and when it is stated
that their seats were within a hand q
shake OF each other, the reader can
realize that the collisions at times
assumed a dangerous climax. Mr..
j Jacobson was continually looking
for wood hucks, or measures that
did not seem to him right, and while
he was turned down on the position
he assumed on several matters,
he has the gross earnings bill,
the board of control bill and the
general appropriation bill to his
credit, the latter, however, being a
measure in which every member of
the committee on appropriations is
entitled to credit equal to that Of
Mr., Jacobson S, Mr., Lay bourn has
la bold and defiant air He goes on
the theory that a contest is never
lost until it is actually lost, and that
is when tits beyond hopes Of resur-
recting, He is keen in retort, and
at times his remarks are as cutting
as the point Of a stiletto. st. Louis
county can certainly feel proud Of
him as a fighter.
Speaking Of Mr.. Jacobson and Mr..
Lay bourn it is we'll to state that on
the very last day Of the session Mr..
gave them a chance to show
their willingness to drop all per-
sonal antagonism by appointing
them on the committee to wait on

their faces, and later they returned
to report that the Governor had no

SPLENDID WORK.

The work which Labor Commission
er Wennerstrum of the state of Iowa
is doing, as set forth in an extended
article in this issue of the Courier will
call for the hearty commentator of
all good citizens. We believe that
Mr.. Wennerstrum is the most practi-
cal man who has ever held the office
of labor commissioner and that he is
doing work that will prove of ines
Unable value to the public. Working
men and women are entitled to sani-
tary, safe and congenial surroundings
at their daily labor. The hours of toll
are long and there is no respite from
Monday morning until Saturday even
ing. We are convinced that the lack
of satisfactory surroundings is mat
ter Of neglect and inattention, more
than any deliberate desire on the part
of employers to do an injury or an in
justice to their employees. There are
few employers, indeed, who will not

THE COUNTY TICKET.

r. p. Dana, the republican nominee
for treasurer of Wapello county, has
been resident of Wapello county for
forty-three years, has lived in Ottum-
wa for thirty years, and has been in
the employ of one prominent mercan-
tile house in this city for sixteen
years. In all this time, no one has ever
questioned the quality Of Mr.. Dana's
citizenship, his sterling integrity or
his ability TO successfully handle any
business that he might attempt to do.
Mr.. Dana is not only republican
through and through, a voter and a
worker for republican principles, but
he is a man who enjoys the highest
regard of his fellow citizens and has
splendid qualification for the position
to which he aspires. The voters of
Wapello county cannot do themselves
a better service than to see that Mr.
Dana is elected to the Office of coun-
ty treasurer.

III. COUNTY TICKET.

Wapello county never had better
or more zealous superintendent of
schools than Joseph Parks, who is
again candidate for election on the
republican county ticket. Mr.. Parks
gave conscientious attention to every
duty devolving upon the county super
intendent and there are none to ques-
ton the fact that by reason of his
painstaking, interchangeable and intelli-
gent labors, the public schools of this
county were advanced and placed upon
higher plane than they have ever
been before. Mr.. Parks, when county
superintendent, made point of visit
ing every school, at least once during
each school year and more often than
this, if the welfare and progress of
the school demanded It, Mr.. Parks is
today better equipped than ever be-
fore to take up the work of county
superintendent and if he is elected to

sees in the temper of the people at
this time danger of hasty action on the
part of congress, involving at it does,
rights and liberties which should be
most carefully conserved to the peo-
pie. Without hesitating to say that
there should be vigorous and determine
ed legislation by congress upon the
question of surpressing anarchy, yet
Senator Allison is unquestionably
right when he says it is fortunate that
a period of two months must yet elapse
before congress assemblies. In this
matter, it is Of the most vital impor.
lance that congress do the right thing.
Hasty and unwise action might preci
pitate evils greater even than those
from which it is desired so strongly tc
relieve the country.

THE PEOPLE WILL NEVER CON
SENT.

Where is the business man in OF
tumwa or any other city in Iowa, out
side of the wholesale liquor dealer,
whose only desire is to extend the ter
ritory open to the saloon in the state,
who would like to exchange the pres
ent petition system for an annually
recurring saloon election upon the
question of granting a license? The
bull-dozing of respectable business
men, the bribery of certain class of
voters and the general corruption Incl
dent to these saloon elections, would
be well nigh intolerable. Business
men need only think back a compare
lively few years to recall the circum-
stances as they existed under such con-
ditions. There is indeed no comparis-
on between the two methods of deter
mining whether or not, the saloon shall
be licensed in any community. The pc
tition system now in vogue, places the
labor, responsibility and expense up
on the liquor interests themselves to
secure a sufficient number of sigma
lures, and this method is in no way a
disturber of business or other local
conditions. On the other hand, the an
nual saloon election means constant at
tempts at corruption, it is a menace to
the morals of the community and COM
pels the temperance people to fight
in the dark against an insidious and
INSCRIPTIONS foe. In our judgment,
the people of Iowa will never consent
to a move backward in this matter.
They will not give up the convenient,
inexpensive and practical petition
method and shoulder upon themselves
all the evils of the annually recurring
saloon election.
