Candidates and Principles.

The custom that was in former
years generally respected by the
press of the country. of publishing
at "a stated place in. the columns of
a paper daily throughout campaign.
the nominees of the party to which
the paper gives, its support. has been
discontinued by some of the most
representative and most pronounced
party journals. The abandonment of
the practice has been based on the
theory that continuous publication
of the ticket is superhuous and a
mere space filler. hence it may be said
the average paper of today does not
see the necessity of publishing in
every issue the formal announcement
of the nominations of its party. 81
that while il * well to keep the
names of candidates of any party be-
fore the people in some way. il does
not necessarily follow that a papers
party standing need in this manner
Indicate its position. The simple
publication of a list of candidates
does not always signify the extent
To which they are supported.
The paper that Sustains its party
under all circumstances. fights its
battles increasingly and to its utmost
and eXpends every effort for the sue
cess of its candidates does not need
TO be labeled with the names of the
party nominees running day after
day. The publication Of the ticket at
the head OF the editorial columns of
a paper is a matter entirely optional
with the editor and should be re
IL
party and its candidates and in no
sense an obligation or a duty essen
TALLY incumbent upon the paper that
stands as the representative of the
party.
The Argus, without entering into
discussion now of it's own disposition
i'm this respect. has but to remark
that il does not. and has never in
dulged in half-hearted campaigns. 1t
supports its party's principles and
candidates with its whole heart. Ii
could not undertake any part in
campaign in any other spirit. When
it champions either man or measure
there is no occasion to doubt the sim
cerity of such advocacy on it's part.
The Argus does not believe in feeble
effort of any kind. or concealing mo-
tive or purpose in whatever it under
takes. If a principle is right it
should have the best in its behalf
that can be given it. If there be any
good reason why a policy cannot be
earnestly upheld il better be left
alone. The paper most worthy of
confidence is the one that makes the
best fight it knows how whether it
be in matters of party or public
policy and is not disturbed by the
consequences.

YOUTH A DISPATCHER
FOR RAILROAD COMPANY

Walter Beurle. black-eyed. intel
ligent young lad but fifteen years
old. who has been messenger and Of
flee boy about the general offices of
the B.. {. Il. & y. in this city for
some months, has through his steady
attention To telegraph work attained
the honor Of having a wire ON the
system and yesterday sat down 10
the key To take and send messages
To and from the local dispatcher's
office, says the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.
During the past few months the
little fellow has been offered other
positions which would have been far
more lucrative than the work he was
at. but he declined them all with
thanks. explaining TO those higher in
authority that he would remain
where he was until there should be
an opening for him. He has learned
To send and take messages and be-
cause of his careful attention To du-
ties and his persistency he has won
the honor of being possibly the
youngest operator on the entire sys-
tenn The wire over which he has
control has nothing To do with the
dispatches To trains. but is neverthe-
less important for all messages,
which are of Importance to the Of
fees in general, must be absolutely
correct. He sits in his chair, with his
short legs dangling in the air and
reaches out to operate the key with
his small fingers. intently turning
his head To catch the sounds of the
instrument. The work which has
been assigned him will possibly last
for two months, and then he Will be
relieved by the regular operator
However. the assignment to the post
shows with what confidence the lit
tie fellow is held and speaks well for
his concentrated efforts.
Walter Beurle is an observer and
an investigator. His mind is full of
questions and he satisfies these as
fast as possible. But few days ago
be asked one of the officers to eX-
plain what was done with the old pa
pers which came to the office. When
told that they were used to make car
wheels his curiosity was set at a
high pitch. He learned after persist
ent Interrogation that the outside of
the wheel was not paper and then
asked how that was placed on. He
found he was not crOss-eXamining a
mechanic and was for the time being
.hSffled. I'm less than three days he
returned to his informant and eX-
planned how the process was done.
He had passed n few spare moments
at the shops to learn the method of
repairing wheels. the removing and
the placing of the steel rim on the
outside.

THE GREAT FUTURE.

The sweetest song has not been sung.
Nor has the loudest bell been rung;
The brightest jewel still lies deep.
The fairest rose is yet asleep;
The greatest ship has never sailed.
The highest mountains are unscaled +;
The largest house of brick and beam
Is but the vision of dream.
Tue swiftest locomotive. too,
Has yet to show what it can do.
The richest mine is still unknown,
The airs.hip's but monstrous drone
The telegraph is still afraid
TO span the wide world without aid.
Point out the man who'll say to you
All the electric mind viii do.
The greatest city still shall rise
All. who will solve the mystic skies
Niagara falls remain unclaimed.
The Arctic's spheres have not been
gained;
The steamer. submarineiy piled.
Is anchored fast in fancy's tide.

GET STRONG.
Weakness and III Health
Overcome by VinoI.
w e have s G e N
Lots Of Proof Of
This,

You will agree with us that there is
nothing much worse than & feeding of
weakness or lassitude. There is no need
of our telling you that when one feels this
way, it is symptom of a disordered con-
dition of the system.
We would like to tell everyone in this
city how to get strong - take Ninol on
our guarantee:
Vinol is not patent medicine. Every
thing contained in it is printed on the
label of each bottle. 1t does invigurate,
create flesh when flesh is needed, and
makes rich red blood. Vinol cannot do
harm because il contains only the in
gradients that are needed to accomplish
good, namely, the active curative
medicinal principles found in the liver of
the live cod. Vinol differs from cod liver
oil inasmuch as none of the grease that
tastes so badly and acts so detrimontally
on the digestive organs is found in it.
We have reason from what we have
seen and heard to endorse Ninol as we
do, for we know what it. has done in
many cases where he patient has been
run down and debilitatcd and where the
most wonderful results have been accom-
plished by its use.
We also feel sure that many people
have taken Vinol who were on the verge
of q severe attack of sickness, and instead
of suffering further pain and misery were
quickly restored 10 health. Here is one
of many letters endorsing Vinol:
''As a strengthening tonic. 1 will gladly
say that Vinol is the best medicine ever
have taken or heard of. We have used
it in our family as a strength producer
with the best possible results" Mrs.
JAMES ANDERSON, Mansfield, Ohio.
II is because we have had so much
proof of what Vinol really does, and
because we know that everybody
who tries VinoI quickly learns that 1t
is delicious, that we u31e Sitatingly
endorse it, and agree az all times TO
refund to anyone the price they pay
for vinOl if they do not find il absO.

WORK FOR

The Denver Republican has made a
good fight for statehood for the terri
tories, and says of the present status
of the admission bill:
The indications are favorable for
its passage next winter, for it seems
that there are thirteen republican SEN
ators who are prepared to take the bill
up Immediately. This indicates consid-
cradle strength for the measure, and it
is probable that many more republican
votes can be secured by the time the
bill up for action.
There are so many considerations
demanding the admission of the pro-
posed states that there should be no
difficulty in securing the passage of
an enabling act embracing them all.
The opposition of certain republican
senators TO Senator Quay's resolution
does not necessarily indicate that they
will oppose admission when the mat
ter comes to a final vote. They may
have simply been unwilling to force
action at this time by taking the mat
ter out of the hands of the committee
to which the bill had been referred.
Between now and the winter SEES
sion the friends of statehood should
push a campaign of education
among the eastern members of the
senate They will find no lack of argu-
ments in favor of admission, and this
should be true especially in respect to
appeals to republicans, for New Mex
leo and Oklahoma ear be counted on
as practically certain for the republi-
can party. 1t would be bad policy for
the republicans to vote against ad-
mission. and besides simple justice to
the inhabitants of the territories in
question demands that they be allowed
to erect state governments"

ouay's Fight for Statehood.

Kansas City Star.
The people of the west in general,
and of Arizona, New Mexico and Okla
homa in particular, cannot but feel
grateful to Senator Quay, of Pennsyl.
vania, for the determined stand he has
taken in favor of the statehood l.-
affecting the three nawed territories.
Mr.. Quay has exposed the insiacerity,
the verltable hypocrisy of his party by
recalling at this time the platform dec
larations in favor of statehood for
these territories and by contrasting
with these professions the attitude Of
a large number of senators at this
time.
Senator Quay's skill as a fighter, his
absolute familiarity with the weak
spots in the opposition, and the evid-
ence that he is determined to make
his contest on the floor of the senate,
are all encouraging. The Pennsylvan-
ian is exceedingly resourceful. He is
a masterful politician. His recent Jri-
umph over his enemies in Pennsylva-
MIA was n of the most remarkable
personal victories witnessed in the pO-
litical arena in a long time. With
Quay as the friend of statehood, there
is still a chance hat the omnibus ill
passed by the house will be approved
by the senate.

Republican Error on Statehood.
Denver Times.

bNANNl AlAlNos
Although unable to enforce consid-
Grafton of the statehood bill at the
present session of congress the friends
of statehood have gained a great ad-
vantage by securing a concession from
the senate committee, which has
agreed that a report will be made on
the bill on the third day of the next
session. 1t Is also agreed that the bill
VIII be made unfinished business on
and after December 10 until disposed
of. This should insure the enactment
OF a law by this congress admitting the
three territories to the union. The
democratic senators are solid for the
measure and it is supported by a con-
siderablenumbCr of republicans. There
is danger, however. that the republican
opposition to the bill will endeavor to
defeat it by amendments admitting
only one or two Of the territories. The
friends of statehood. therefore, must
not relax i'm their efforts to secure the
passage of the bill as it stands. Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Oklahoma are
all fitted for statehood and are entitled
10 admission. Republicans are making
a mistake in opposing the measure.
Politics should not be considered in
discussing the question, but since the
Directing republicans are actuated by
partisan feelings it may be we'll to
show them that their position is bad
politics as well as an injustice. What
ever the political complexion OF the
territories may be today il may be al
tered by the treatment received from
representatives of the two political
parties in congress.
