London, Aug. 27.-The Times, this

discussing President Roosevelt's decis-

This is bold decision if President

to form judgment of his chances OF
success against the strong forces ar

1t is quite shocking to read that at
a recent select party in Washington
Secretary Shaw assisted in filling a
figure at dance, and that Secretary
Wilson was in the same set with him.
The report is Ito which no credence
should be given coming from any
other than an Iowa mani that the
secretary of agriculture, in saluting
his partner in the most graceful man
ner, missed his footing and fell fiat,
whereupon the president of the Unit
ed States, overlooking with good
humor, cried out to him: sect up
there you old cornstalk - The scene
was on the Dolphin, and it may be
said that the Iowa men were not &C
customed to the whirl of society on
the rolling main. Secretary Shaw
was lucky, in that he kept his feet ;
but there are brethren who will say
that his Methodist training should
have saved him from association with
Secretary Wilson under such circum-
stances.

HIS POLITICAL OPINIONS
THE PLATFORM OF ABE JONES' PARTY

Issues and Presents Platform
for His Party.

The political pot is commencing to

l wish to say a few words in your pa
per with the largest circulation of any
in the county. Why am so accused
do not know, unless it is because /
read some republican papers of some
what sombre hue, but it has been said
that one of the greatest points in
generalship is to know what the enemy
is doing. But it matters little under
what name we go to battle, so that we
are right. No one should be a demo-
crat simply because his father and
Andrew Jackson were democrats or a
republican because Lincoln and Sc.
ward were republicans The tremen-
dous strides this country has made in
wealth and population (Which is the
wonder of the world has been accom-
plished under the control of both the

meet them is the duty of every voter

opposed to handful of beet sugar
senators controlling the price of sugar
for every man, woman and child in
the United States solely for political
and selfish purposes. am opposed to
such laws as permit goods manufact-
ured here to be sold at a profit in
foreign countries cheaper than to our
own people. Am opposed to one dollar
of the peoples money being expended
to assist in placing crown upon the
head of any king or emperor. Am in
favor of Filipino independence and
opposed to buying any territory 10000
miles from home. Am in favor of
some arrangement whereby the govern
ment can settle strikes in fair and
honorable way, saving millions to en-
ployers and employees and countless
millions to the general public who
are free from all blame in the matter !;
am opposed to government ownership
of railroads and telegraph lines think
ing it has all it can properly attend
to now. When the money of the
country gives general satisfaction as
to quantity and quality l am opposed
to its being disturbed especially by
any theory or guess work. The party
that advocates the above principles
will be very likely to get my vote.

TWO KINDS OF CITIZENS.

A certain citizen of DEBORAH. and
one of the wealthiest men in Winnie
sheik county, year or so ago stopped
the P lic OPT nj on, giving as a
reason therefore that he had more
papers than he could read and couldn t
afford to take so many. Scarcely a
Wednesday afternoon has since passed
but this same man has called at GER
tain DARKNESS house III Decorah and
asked to see Public Opinion,
and receiving it sat down and read it
through. We heard that same man say
the other day that DEBORAH was not as
good town as it ought TO be, it's
business men were not progressive,
and that he saw no hope for the future
of DEBORAH. Poor, deluded, selfish
mortal. He has done but little except
to complain about his home city ever
since he moved in from the farm.
Property is too high, provisions too
costly, taxes too large, everything
wrong. Dear, dear, how sad is life
at best. And yet, has this man ever
done anything to make his home town
better? Has his name been found
among the liberal, progressive men of
the city, who are called upon almost
daily to give of their earnings to pub
lie enterprises, and do it cheerfully?
Was he to be found among the contri-
butors to the fund for the relief of the
flood sufferers? Does he encourage
home merchants, home churches, home
isnstitutions by patronizing and con-
tributing literally to their support?
Oh, no, his only mission in life seems
to be to complain of his surroundings
and to find fault with everything in
general. And just such men are the
greatest hindrances to the progress of
a city. He has made his money by
dint of hard labor, close dealing and
almost mizerly saving, and will end
his days with little happiness and
content to himself and with constant
annoyance to those about him. How
much better if he, like most of our es-
tened retired farmers, had come to
town resolved to live for the rest of
his days in the enjoyment of the saw
ings of a hard spent life, happy in the
rest and pleasures and conveniences
which his means might afford him if
he would but spend them judiciously.
Brace up, brother. Do not be a
grouchy, dried up granger of fifty
years ago. Times have changed The
farmer of today is the best fed, best
groomed, happiest, wealthiest, most
independent man on earth. We were
glad to have you come to DEBORAH to
enjoy our many modern conveniences
Show us you are glad to be here. In
stead of constantly finding fault with
the best city of its size in Iowa join
with your neighbor in improving it,
help along its public institutions,
speak we'll of it. If you can't do
this, you've no business here.
