POLITICS BETWEEN ELECTIONS.

POLITICS BETWEEN ELECTIONS.
Webster City Freeman.]
1t is apparent that there is a growing
tendency among the political newspa-
pers to have more politics between
campaigns and less during campaigns.
In other words, the educational process
is going on all the time and great deal
of the work has been accomplished be-
fore the campaign begins. This is bet
ter, as it lessons the intensity and Bit
terness of the campaigns. The policies
of the parties are before the country all
the time and they are subject to discus
sion and criticism and it is not at all
necessary for either party to wait until
the campaign proper begins, to attack
the policies of the other party. BY a
full and thorough discussion by the
newspapers of all political or govern
mental measures as they come up, the
people become familiar with the poll
cies, doctrines or measures. and the ar
guments for and against them and this
greatly obviates the necessity of an in
tense campaign that paralyzes business
and brings everything to a standstill
until the election is over. This is dis
tinct advance In political methods ana
1t has many arguments III rs favor.

BUSINESS FEATURES.

There is no ground for anything but
q hopeful view Of the business outlook.
AS tersely put by Bradstrfstss salts
faction with the old and confidence in
the new year are the dominating fea-
lures as 1902 draws to a close.' AS
to industrial establishments, as stated
sby Dun, orders still come forward
freely and the new year will open with
before" Confidence in the future is
noteworthy feature on which expec-
tation is based.
In Chicago buying has been unusu-
ely liberal in all lines, and the ag-
gregate for the month is estimated near
~ one-fourth larger than last year.
Holiday goods of all kinds moved rap
idly into consumption, and demand is
also excellent for staple merchandise,
particularly the better grades Of warm
wear and boots and shoes. Houses
handling furs and high priced apparel
report business exceeding anticipations.
In personal adornnnents, garnitures
Jewelry and art wares sales run into
new record figures. The outlying stores
have also done remarkably well, and
country advices are Of the most graft
flying character. Consumption on al
hands is beyond previous experience,
and there is no apparent danger OF
much carrying over of stocks. Clothing
distributors are selling more high

products. He has seen the statesman
ship of Blaine, the diplomacy of Kas
son, the conviction of Roosevelt scorn-
fully ignored in the determination to
make fair trade impossible. Yea, more.
He has in Iowa seen the positive ut
terances of two great conventions spit
upon and witnessed the attempts to
hold up to public ignominy men gray
in the party service for no other sin
political than that of loyalty TO the
demands of the people themselves. 1t
We're better to not too far strain the
bonds of affection and confidence which
attach this average voter to the repub-
lican party,
Is this picture oyerdrawn? Any
doubter may satisfy himself by a little
investigation. If he will fairly test the
sentiment of these average voters here
in Iowa, in the country, in the towns,
on trains and wherever they most do
circulate, and simply exercise ordinary
perception he will find that sentiment
is working all along the line.
Then there are many democrats who
are not comfortable in their political
relationship. They are sick of the va
porings of free trade and the eternal
warfare upon the currency and other
features of stable political conditions.
A broadening of republican policy only
to the extent that is good for the party
and the country will make 1t easy for
such to come and find seat in the re-
publican tabernacle. These are the best
blood and bone of the democracy and
an element of strength to any party.
The mock heroics of blind infatua-
ton may have a charm for actors on
the political stage, but they are sure
to be disappointing at the box office.

both nations were willing TO rely upon

MORE CARE IN GRANTING LICENSES

1t is too apt to be the case that
where saloons are established under the
mulct law the road is made very easy
for others to enter the field, until it is
occupied by too many purveyor to pub
lie taste, some of whom have no regard
for law. The recent indictment of sa-
loonkeepers in Jones county shows lax
work in granting licenses and lax work
In law enforcement. The Monticello
Express, in noticing such conditions in
the county named, is of the opinion
that
"There would be less violation of the
aaw if city councils would exercise more
rare in the granting of permits. Some
OF the saloonkeepers are, no doubt, ex-
ercising care, and trying to comply with
the law. Others are careless and ire
sponsible; the kind of men that should
have been kept out of business. The
power of choice invested in city coun-
ellis should not be exercised lightly
The point made by the Express is a
timely one and ought to be thoroughly
Impressed upon the minds of city OFF,
cials. The saloon forces should be CIV
Ell to understand that men of irrespon-
eible character will not be allowed to
establish saloons. The tendency of per-
hitting such men to enter the field is to
denoralize all others, and to create just
such opinions as are now being ex-
pressed upon the subject.
