WEST SIDE TO CIT A BOOM
Main Material Yards To Be
Located There.
MEANS MUCH ADDED BUSINESS,
Decision to Locate Yards at Denison Chang
ed and West Side Gets The Plum
Means Steady Employment to
A Large Number of~Men

The thriving little town of West
Side will see such times this year as it
has not experienced before for more
than a decade 1t has been decided
that the main material yard for second
track construction between Carroll
and Denison, is to be located there, and
this means the haAdling of hundreds
OF cars OF material. the use of nearly
sixty acres of land, and the employ
ment of from fifty to sixty yard hands
throughout the summer. 1t also means
that this will be the headquarters for
train crews and work gangs. 1t is not
to be denied, that Denison hoped to Sc
cure the location of these yards, but for
some reason best known TO themselves,
the officials decided to place the yards
at West Side. We congratulate our
neighboring city, and assure it that it
means great business activity during
the SUMMER, and possibly an increase
in the police force. The work of doub-
lie trackingis to be rapidly pushed.
Denison as the terminus of this section
of double track. will of course receive
considerable benefit from the number
of,laboring men employed. A large a
mount of material will be sent here. il
will be small however, compared te
the benefit derived by West Side.

THE COURTS MUST DECIDE

Supervisor Langley was in the city
on Tuesday and he informs us that he
Will not quit his office as county super
visor until the question of the validity
and construction of the Titus amend
ment is settled. The only recognition
of this case taken by the courts up to.
this time has been in Sioux county
where the lower court held that the
amendment was operative and that the
clause relative to tenure of Office should
be literally interpreted. This was
victory for the hold-oyers and it is
thought that>many county officers
throughout the state will stand ON
their rights at least. until the matter
can be brought before the supreme
court While Mr.. Langley said nothing
OF the kind, it is we'll understood that
his friends feel that he was not fairly
treated by the democrats of the county
and especially by the democrats of
Denlson who were, it is stated, under
many obligations to Mr.. Langley Mr..
Langley's record as supervisor has
been. especially from a democratic
standpoint, without flaw and it was a
matter OF custom and usage that he
should receive second nomination.
Mr.. Langley's friends assert that the
opposition to him in his own township
did not have its origin there but was
fostered and broughtto head by out
side democratic bosses. At the same
time Mr.. Fienhold of Paradise was
brought into the field only to be throw

Schlumberger entertained compliment
tary to Mr.. William Bertelson. More
than a score. of young people responded
to the invitation. glad to do honor to
their friend and former college mate.
One of the>delightful features of the
evening was the guessing game con-

THE RETIRING OFFICERS.
Men Who Will Retire From County Of
flee Next Week.

Unless the intricacies of the Titus
amendment should change the present
outlook. Auditor John 7. Carey. Clerk
Emil Kruger, Supervisors Langley
and Holland, and Coroner M. N. Smith
will retire to private life with the first
week in January.S Their places will
be taken by NJ. J. Collins, Frank Faul,
He. Schraeder, ChaA Moulter, and
H II. Klinker. With the exception
OF the Coroner, all the retiring officers
have served with credit to themselves
and to the county. Mr.. John t. Carey
is one of the best known and most pop
ular men in Crawford county today.
His name has always been synonymous
with honesty, large heartedness, and
fair dealing. Although democrat,
Mr.. Carey has never been an intense
partisan and he numbers hundreds of
friends in the republican ranks. Mr..
Careys first connection with public of
fee began in May, 1890, when he was
deputy treasurer under Mr. George
Richardson;the held this position DUR
ing Mr.. Richardson's term and for one
| year under Treasurer Lorenzen, resign
| ing his position to enter the Auditors
Office TO which he had been elected.
For six years he has filed this position
to the satisfaction Of all. While the
4 REVIEW has opposed him politically,
it has ever felt nothing but the warm
est personal friendship for him. and
| we'are glad to state that he is to re-
main in Denison and join the ranks of
our business men, although his plans
for the future are not yet settled.
Mr.. Emil Kruger is another who has
made an enviable record, not only DUR
ing his term of office. but in his life as
a good and helpful citizen of the coun-
ty. Mr.. Kruger is a prime favorite
with all who know him and many will
regret to see him leave the court
mouse. Mr.. Kruger is also democrat
of the liberal, broadminded type: while
always partisan, he has never allowed
himselfit to becomelnarro in his views
and he. too, has hosts of republican
| friends. among whom the REVIEW is
4 glad to be numbered as one. Mr..
Kruger has already accepted position

ty State Bank established at Schles.
wig, and we are sure that he will prove
a most popular and successful man in
his new home; we will also miss Mrs
Kruger from the deputS's desk over
which she has presided with so much
courtesy and ability
i Mr.. Langley has made an efficient
and careful supervisor and his many
friends regret the action of the demo
cratic machine in turning him dpwr
after but one term of service.
4 Mr..Holland has served but short
time on the board, but has proved him
self to be a capable man and we doub,
not but that the people will hear from
him again. OF the incoming officers

as now appears to be the case, the ole

THE ASCENDANCY OF
THE COMMON MAN"

If we recall the names of the Presl-
dents who followed Jefferson, we shah
realize how fully they illustrated the
ideal Of the common man, with now
and then an instance in when they
exalted II far above the ideal of any
gentle man, except washington Iney
were strong men, men Of potent VIII,
and whatever their errors, men Of as
high purpose as any of the men of
gentler tradition who went before them.
If we think Of Jackson, of Lincoln, OF
Grant. of Garfield Of Mckinley, whose
beginnings were all as common as
those of the average American now
earning his living by the labor OF his
hands. we must own that they were,
in craftsmanship at least, the equals
Of those Presidents, Pierce and Blu
chanan, and Hayes, and the two Har-
risons, and Taylor, and Polk, whose
beginnings were less humble; and 1t
would not be too hardy to say that
they were the equals Of those earlier
Presidents, Monroe, and Madison, and
the second Adams, who antedates
Jackson, and were of the older ira
dition of the gentle man, by origin,
bv education. and by social position. If
the claim of the common man to be
as sovereign in the republic as the
gentle man needed vindicatiOn, the
chief magistrates who were distinctly
of his order most triumphantly Vindi
Gated it. They stamped Amertcanism
with his image and superscription,
whether ineffaceably or not we may
not know in centuries; but their great
lives hallowed the notion of humility
of origin and condition in the hearts
Of most Americans as something hu-
manly dear and sweet, as something
almost divinely sacred.-W. d. How
els, in Harpers Magazine.
