WE DID IT ALONE.

Buffalo Express: The old question
of whether Great Britain helped the
United States in the Spanish war was
brought UP again in parliament and
Lord Cranborne on behalf of the for
eign Office replied that he could find
no trace of any assurances, either
verbal OF written, regarding the con-
duct n policy of Great Britain toward
that war. We shall have to conclude
that we whipped Spain all alone.

While MI. Morgan was brave enough
to speak for the measure, his sand
seems to have run out before the vot-
ing point vas reached. In this re-
spect he differed materially from the
distinguished gentleman from Massa-
chusetts and the equally distinguish
ed gentleman from Illinois, who, while
of the party supporting the bill, not
only spoke against it, but also voted
against it.

FEAR POPULAR ELECTIONS.

Minneapolis Times: Once more it
is painfully apparent that the senate,
or the majority thereof, is well pleased
with the present method of electing
members Of that body and will grant
no encouragement to the proposition
to give the people a right to choose
their servants in the upper house
without the Intervention Of legisla-
lures.

ANOTHER SHATTERED TRUST.

Springfield Republican,: More char
acteristic trust financiering is reveal
ed in the report of expert accountants
on the ahairs of the International
Power company, whose stock fell
through the bottom a while ago. 1t is
shown that while the trust declared
dividends of 10 per cent last year,
the net earnings amounted only to
81 per cent. Before this report was
published the stock had dropped from
1919 to 75k bid, and yesterday it drop
ped to 55 bid, with no sales. The
trust record grows worse as it grows
older and it is still of few years.

II PRICE IT O S

Peace has h,en restored in South
Africa. England has acquired what
it wanted and fought for. Two indie
pendent nations have been crushed
and two national entities have ceased
to exist. The victor may think the re-
suits worth the price, but whether the
world will be of the same mind re-
mains to be seen. 1t is doubtful. Well
did Kruger say that what England was
after could only be obtained at a cost
that would stagger the world. While
England claims the victory it cannot
pride itself on it's achievement. It
has burdened itself with a debt that
will take generations to wipe out and
has lost in prestige what it can never
regain. With its boosted limitless re-
sources and military powers it found
itself forced to fight for years against
a people numerically so small as to be
almost insignificant and under this
compulsion cut a figure calculated to
make it appear ridiculous in the eyes
of the nations 10 which it seeks ever
to present a showing of strength and
formidability calculated to keep them
from assailing it. They have learned
to estimate the boosted English
strength at it's proper value and the
dread in which they have hitherto sup
posedly held Briton must be meas
ureably decreased.
At home it does not seem to stand
much better. It has lost standing in
the eyes OF it's WI people. They
have been disillusionized and now
recognize their W power. They have
learned that England is not the ON
nipotent they were taught to believe
it to be. They know now that fighting
unarmed or at best partially armed
savages and coming in contact with
civilized people of their own hue are
two different propositions and also
know what to expect should they ever
be called on to wage war against
some of the enemies continually
menacing them and eager for an ex-
cuse to begin hostilities. For the
acquisition of the coveted gold mines
Of the Transvaal and the hills and
plains of the Orange Free State they
and their children must bear an adj
dition to a burden of taxation already
so heavy that the discomfort it has
given rise to is heard all over the
world.
While the world is glad that peace
has been established and that. the
awful strife is over, it's sympathies
will always remain with the brave and
heroic Beers whose defense of their
lands and institutions has gained for
them the admiration of all civiliz-
ed peoples. The terms they secured
are not as liberal as was expected
would be granted in view of the great
desire of the English within recent
months to secure peace. Neither are
they as liberal as was led to be be-
lieved would be accorded when the
came for 2 final settlement. A
few concessions were wrung from the

Two years ago George E. Cartwright
was the democratic candidate for county
auditor and was defeated by only few
votes. When the convention met this
year he was renominated by acclama-
ton to make the race again and he
cheerfully took up the burden and has
been working steadily ever since for not
only himself bat the entire democratic
county ticket. George Cartwright is
one of the best young men in Decatur
county and he is fully qualified to at
tend to all the duties of the office. If
elected he would make one of the most
careful and at the same time accommo.
dating officials that nave ever been
placed in the court house. Vote for
George Cartwright and say good word
for him to your neighbor.

Never in the history of Decatur county
have the roads been as bad at election
time as they are this year, and this fact
will require an extra effort on the part
of the local committeeman and loyal
workers to see that voters who reside at
some distance from the voting place are
provided with means for reaching the
polls. Attend to this part of your work
early in the morning for the polls may
be closed before you get back if you
wait until late in the evening before
starting after them.

CONSISTENCY.

The Decatur County Journal in com.
menting on Hon. T. N. Stuart's speech
at Leon says: ''Stuart s tedious
speaker and could put jury to sleep
quicker then any attorney who ever
practiced law in our courts" A little
further along in the same article the
Journal hands us the following: "The
democrats of the eighth congressional
district have always been loud in their
denunciation OF railroads. and corpora.
ton attorneys. Yet they are now run.
ming for one Of the most important
offices within the gift Of the people, a
man who has served the G. B. & @. rail-
road for many years as their chief legal
advisor I. M. Stuart has probably tried
more cases for the @ railroad in our
county that all other attorneys COM
bined.
How little sense this railroad COM
pany must have to let an attorney who
can "put jury to sleep quicker then
any attorney who ever practiced law in
our COURTS" try "more cases for them in
our county than all other attorneys COM
bined!" Yet the Journal says sitmentions
the fact that Mr.. Stuart is railroad
attorney simply to show the inconsis-

Last year Tom Wallace, the demo.

Don't let this happen again this year.

excellent chance of being elected and
they will be if all the democrats in De-
catur county vote. Don't be one who
helps defeat the ticket by staying away
from the polls.

Don't allow yourself to think this
year that it will make no difference
whether you vote or not, that one vote
won't make any difference. Remember
there are many others who will think
the same thing and if you stay at home
it may mean the defeat of one or more
Of the democratic candidates on the
county ticket. Tom Wallace was de-
feated by only Is votes last year for
sheriff. The election may be just as
close this year on several Of the candi
dates and every vote will count. j

Uncle George Woodbury., the demo-
cratic candidate for county recorder, is
one Of the oldest and best known men
in Decatur county, and during all the
wears Of his residence here he has been
the same quiet, unassuming gentleman,
always ready to extend an accommo oda-
ton or do neighborly turn for any
one. He is exceptionally we'll qualified
to discharge the duties of the recorders
Office. Don't forget Uncle George and
if YOU wish to do him kindly favor see

i
The democrats of Decatur county owe
it to Ed Beck to see that he gets the full
vote Of his party in every township.
Mr.. Beck was not candidate for any
Office but when vacancYioccu.red on
the ticket and he was asked to accept
the nomination in order to have the
ticket filled he was too good democrat
to refuse. This too at a time when it
looked as if he did not have ghost OF a
show Of being elected, bat he entered
into an active canvass and now has
most excellent prospects OF being elect
ed along with the balance Of the county
ticker, land no democrat should con-
tribute to his defeat by staying at home
next Tuesday. Make it your special
duty to see that Mr.. Beck receives 8
good vote in your township.

There is the utmost harmony in the
ranksl of the democratic party in Deca-
tur county this year, they have an ex.
cellent county ticket and the only
thing that can defeat it is that there
will be too many democrats who will
9 ay away from the polls because it has
been quiet election year. Make it
your special duty to see that none in
your neighborhood stay away, even if
you have to go after them yourself.

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF DECA-
TUR COUNTY.

Next Tuesday is election day, and it
is the bounden duty of every good cit
izen to exercise his right as a citizen Of
the great and free United States Of
America and go to The polls and vote.
There is special = why every
Decatur county demo, AZ I'D go to
y polls and vote, for 4,st r stay.at-
b y democrats defeated .l.s nocratic
s,'s ate for sheg,i a-ly took
! sem to doiA Il agn there were
80 democrats catur county
sossM not vote last year. Don't let
this happen again this year. The dem
ocratic county ticketfr from top to bottom
is composed Of good and true men who
are entitled to your vote and support,
and if they receive both they will be
elected without question. The outlook
at this time is indeed Hattering for the
success of the entire ticket and no good
democrat should in the least contribute
to their defeat by remaining away from
the polls. On account of the condition
of the roads in the rural precincts 1T will
be necessary to make special effort to
get all the voters to the polls. Show
your democratic principles by rendering
the use of your team and yourself as
driver to your township committeeman
and thus do your ticket and your party
valiant service. The democrats of
Decatur county never had better
county ticket and there is not single
man on the ticket who should not re-
ceive the vote of every democrat in the
county. Don't husk corn next Tuesday
but put in one day for the good of your
party and when the returns are counted
and the democratic county ticket is
elected you will indeed rejoice that you
contributed your share to the success of
the ticket.

Frank j. Horton, the democratic can
didate for county attorney is one Of the
brightest young lawyers in southern
Iowa, and staunch democrat. He did
not seek the nomination, and declined
to allow the use of his name. But when
it was found that there was no other
attorney who could or would accept the
nomination, and it was demanded of
him second time that he accept the
nomination, he replied; Gentlemen, l
accept the nomination not because |
want it, but because l am a democrat
and believe that every good democrat
owes it to his party to do all that is in
his power to help his party" Noble
words. spoken by noble young man,
and every democrat in Decatur county
owes the same duty to Frank Horton
and should cast vote for him. He is
not under obligation to any clique or
person, and if elected to the office of
county attorney would discharge the
duties of the office in fearless manner,
upholding. the law without regard to
whether the violaters were his friends or
foes. Thatis the kind of man the
taxpayers of Decatur county want for
county attorney, a man who will look
we'll to their interests and protect them
from paying unnecessary court costs
while at the same time seeing that the
laws of our state are not openly violated
Vote tor Frank Horton and elect q
county attorney who will make 3 record.

Ed Beck is the man for clerk of the
