suggests the Sioux City Journal. "She
finds herself with a saloon problem
and water works problem on her
hands simultaneously"
OF Senator Hubbard's bill creating
new senatorial districts, the Upton
Advertiser says: The bill puts Cedar
county into district with johnson
and Jones county with jackson. This
bill will meet with as little approval
| by the republicans of Jones and Cedar
as the one changing this judicial dis
trict. If made a law it would insure
democratic senator's in both districts
as both Johnson and jackson are
strongly democratic"
| According to the Independent Sioux
City Tribune, Report has it that the
republicans are ready to print thou
sands of copies of Congressman
Wheeler's speech for use in the cam
paign next fall wherever there are
German voters. The republicans ara
always quick to see an opportunity
like this-alnost as quick as the dem
ocrats are to furnish the opportunity.
| The Monona Leader aligns itself as
Blythe supporter in the Fourth district
congressional contest, and.in lengthy
laJ .;oJ I'll n
Congressman Haugen, the present in
cumbent, declaring that he has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting, and that the district there
fore desires a change. Mr. Haugen did
the best he could, the Leader says, but
the position is too great for his capa-
bilities Continuing, the Leader says:
He did not in his first term, nor has
he in his second term, measured up to
the standard by which the ability and
qualifications of a congressman are
measured. Mr.. Haugen is personally
a good man, careful, shrewd business
man, a loyal, patriotic citizen, but
when you have said that you have
reached the climax. He has neither
the tact nor the shrewd, keen insight
of the practical lawmaker; he is de-
void of those influential bearings, per-
sonal and political, that would give
the councils of the nation. He is lack
ing in the essential leadership of men
and measures. His four years in con-
gress goes down into history a great
big cipher"
The Clarinda Herald declares "the
men who make the biggest howl about
the low assessments given the rail-
roads, lie awake nights to devise
schemes by which they can escape tax
alton themselves"
Speaking of the removal of the Iowa
Centrals auditing department, the Os-
kaloosa Herald says: I'VE would pre-
fer to have the headquarters remain I
at Marshalltowp rather than Mime
apolis, but the road knows it's bust |
ness better than We"
In noticing that the legislature has
been in session six weeks. and that |
some of the papers of the state are
to criticise it on the score of
barrenness of results, the Keokuk Gate
City thinks that rather the state is to
be congratulated that SO little has been
done. There is greater cause for APP
prehension from action than inaction.
No new legislation is absolutely neces-
sary or even specially desired. Alto
gether it has been a very good general
assembly thus far"
The Clinton Herald observes that
days attracts but little attention, not
the fact that few mil
lion dollars are shipped abroad each
week
A NAME FOR INDIAN TERRITORY.
kansas City Start
The choice of the name of Jefferson
for Indian territory by the house COM
mittee is evidence of the nations desire
TO honor great men. Yet many persons
will consider it unfortunate that the
feeling should seek this form of ex
preston. 1t is appropriate that the
name of state should have local sig
nificance, that it should be beautiful
and distinctive.
Most of the states west of the At
antic coast have found all these quail
lies in Indian names. They are must
cal. unique and bound up with local
tradition. When the northwest terri
.ory was organized 1t was proposed to
