The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-03-18

1t is with regret that the people Of
Denison learn that Gov A. B. Cum
minis has appointed Mr.. P. o. Koto as
state veterinarian to take effect at the
expiration of DR.. Gibson's term. DIR.
Gibson's many friends had hoped that
his efficient service and the magnifia
cent endorsement he received from
the dairy interests, the cattle inte-
rests and the veterinary interests
would secure for him the reappoint-
ment. He has certainly been faith
full and efficient public officer and it is
not felt that failure to reappoint car
ries with it any criticism of Dr. Glib
sons official OF professional career.
Looked at from the ordinary standpoint
OF so called practical politics, we must
say that the action of the Governor
was not entirely unexpected or unwar-
rantable.
Mr.. Koto as member of the Iowa
Legislature voted for Mr.. Cummings
for United States Senator, thus placing
him under direct obligation, and he al
so comes from county which has been
answering in its support of Mr.. Cum
Minis interests. On the other hand
Mr.. Gibson as state officer was not in
position to be an active PARTISAN,
and for several years Crawford county
has maintained position of strict
neutrality in state politics.
we have not heard DR.. Gibson's
plans for the future, but we have full
confidence that the position which he
occupies in his profession will keep him
in the front rank, that he will be sue
cessful and that the loss of this partic-
ular position will not prevent him from
obtaining good livelihood and prom
inent place among the veterinarians
of the United States.
We have no harsh words either for
the Governor or for his appointee. DIR.
Koto. We simply regret that the Gov
ernor has, as it seems, listened to
political exigency rather than to the
early expressed wishes of large ma
| jority of those interested in the work
of this particular Office. DIR. Gibson
has lost no friends by the contest he
has made nor by his conduct while in
office. He retires with the respect
and confidence of all who had dealings
with him, and we do not believe that
Iowa has heard the last of him, either
as a member of his profession or as
factor in the politics of the state.

One of the most unique and elaborate
parties of the season was given on
Saturday by Miss Fay Cook in honor
of her friend, Miss Jessica Morgan. A
number of young ladies were the re-
cipients of Miss Cooks hospitality.
The shades were drawn and the parlors
brilliantly lighted and beautifully dec
grated with flowers. The luncheon
served was elaborate and delicious,
and the young ladies spent most en-
joyable afternoon together.

KINDLY ACT APPRECIATED.
Courtesy shown Poor Blind Colored
Man in street Car.


People are so busy nowadays they
have often not time to be polite and
considerate act at once attracts atten-
ton. There was such an occurrence
a few days ago in a 4th avenue car.
Among the passengers was a blind
negro. His clothes were the veriest
rags and were held TO his emaciated
frame with pieces of wire and bits of
string A broom handle served as a
cane. Over one shoulder was suspend
ed a gnnny sack, giving him the ap-
pearance of a cotton picker.
He continually picked at one hand
with the fingers of the other. as
though he were playing the banjo,
humming softly to himself the while
and patting his foot. AS his face was
wreathed in smiles-not grin-all
eyes were turned in his direction.
Many of the passengers looked at him
regretfully when the car reached Stan
ton street and he arose and made his
way toward the door.
The hour was a busy one on the
Bowery. People wondered whether the
old man would reach the sidewalk in
safety. A young man standing on the
rear platform did more than wonder,
however, for he alighted and guided
the negro safely to the sidewalk. He
then as rapidly as possible ran after
the car, which was disappearing down
the street.
Several of the passengers who had
noticed the incident called on the con-
ductor to stop the car, but as he did
not do so one of them rang the bell
violently, and the motorman reversed
the lever and brought the car to sud
! den stop.
AS the young man climbed on the
! platform, says the New York Times
many smiles of appreciation were cast
in his direction. But he seemed to be
almost ashamed of what he had done
and lie pulled his hat down over his
eyes and continued his ride in silence
