The County Ticket.

In the proceedings Of the democrat
ic county convention, may be found
the names of the candidates present
ed to the people for their suffrages. In
our forty-hve years In Howard county
we have not seen more acceptable
set OF candidates named by any po.
litical party.
Every candidate named is capable,
worthy, and efficient for duties of the
office. They are men of high charac-
ter, moral worth and of good business
education, and above all are men OF
integrity. 1t is always consolation
in going to the ballot box to know
and feel that the candidate present
ed for your vote is not only worthy Of
it, but Of the Office likewise, and that
in casting your ballot for him you
need not apologize to any one or to
your own conscience for your act.
We ask the voters of the county
each for himself and in view of the
responsibilities of good citizenship to
reflect upon the duties he owes to hu-
manity, to exercise the right of fran
chise for the public and not for party
alone.

Mail Service to Granger.

Under date of September 23rd, the
following letter addressed to the edI-
tor Of the PLAIN DEALER from the
Superintendent of the rural mail de-
livery discloses the situation as to
mail service for Garnger. If the peo-
pie of Granger could pay the person
handling route No. 2, for the extra
drive and secure the service now, the
move would demonstrate to the de-
partment the desire of the people and
the need of prompt action by the de-
partment. In the arrangement
of route No. 2, Granger should take
hand.
Mr.. w. R. Mead, Cresco, Iowa.
Sir:-The department is in receipt of
a report from the Route Inspector to
whom was referred for investigation
your communication, transmitted to
the Department by Senator Allison,
asking to have route No. 2 from Cres-
co, Howard county, Iowa, extended to
the postotfice at Granger, Minnesota.
lue houCe inspector reports that the
proposed extension would add miles
to a route which is already up to the
maximum length allowed by the De-
partment, and recommends that the
request be denied. The Route In
spector, however, recommends the
re-arrangement of Route No. 2. ard
the establishment of an additional
route from Cresco to accommodate the
people living in the vicinity of the
Granger office. The Inspector IS recon-
mendation for the Encouragement OF
the existing route and the establish
ment Of another route will receive
early consideration by the Depart
ment. Respectfully,
a. w. MEACHEN,

Why a New Jall2

1st Because the present Jail is un-
safe for the detention of those for
whom jails are needed.
End. Because there is not sufficient
room, at times, for the detention OF
those who for various reasons are its
enforced occupants.
3rd. Because its sanitary condition
is positively dangerous to the health
of person confined in the present
jail for any length of time. The law
preSumeS person accused of crime is
innocent until proven guilty. This
being true the state while holding a
person in custody is bound by every
consideration of reason and justice tc
provide means to preserve the health
of the accused. And if person il
found guilty as charged, the state has
no right, moral or legal, to add want
of sanitary conditions to the penalty
fixed by law.
Atb. The public is abundantly able
to provide for the safe keeping OF
those committed to their charge for ad
equate room for their comfort and
such sanitary conditions as will leave
the accused persons with unimpaired
constitutions from their incarcera.
tion. The student of history looks
with horror upon the shattered con.
stitutions, impaired health and deaths
caused upon those confined in ships
and prisons, as conyicts, prisoners OF
war, or criminals, as much from need
ed ventilation as for insufficient fo1c
and pure water. A palliating circum
stance in many of these cases was ar
absolute inability to provide adequate
ly for the health and comfort of those
committed to their keeping. But nc
such excuse can be urged in extenu
alton of our failure to provide ade
quately for the safety, comfort and
health of those temporarily commit
ted to the Jail of Howard county.

The Musical.

The advanced pupils of Miss Laur-
aine Mead at her lone, gave a grand
musical ntertainment Thursday even
ing to as many lovers of good music
as the house could hold, even standing
room being worth premium. The
music was all that could be desired,
every number was good and each pu-
pill acquitting herself with credit.
The reading by Miss Ida A. Jones OF
Bonair was very fine, showing remark
able ability as an impersonator. Pro-
fessionals have represented the art be-
fore Cresco audiences at a large figure
for their entertainment whose read
ing was inferior to that of Miss Jones.
She has good voice, and has itnunder
perfect control and is capable of en-
tertaining the most intellectual audi
ence.
