There is IN ordinance in effect
at Valley City compelling the
council to let the city printing to
the lowest bidder. The printing
offices have bid twice and on bo.h
occasions all the bids were re-
jected. Inasmuch as the print-
ing will not exceed SIS per year
the lime-Record thinks that the
council is afraid that the news
paper graft so aptly termed by
Jud LaMoure, is liable to get
too much rake-off from the city
especially as the council has
spent $4,000 for other things the
past year. The T.-R is afraid
that the rake-off is greater in the
$75 deal than in the other as
viewed by the town council
Montgomery, Ward & Co.; will
probably get the printing. They
pay the taxes-nit!

If public sentiment is reflected
by the press the democracy in
Iowa is getting ready to line up
for William r. Hearst, as the
presidential favorite of the Hawk
eye state next year. It is GER
tainly a sign Of political degener
acy, this talk about Hearst.
Eighteen months ago this mans
name was a by-word and a hiss
Ing, because of the malignant
manner in which his newspapers
have villifed the martyred Nc
Kinley. But the Iowa democrats
seem to have forgotten all this,
and are booming Hearst for the
highest office in the land. A
greater calamity than the eleva-
tion to the presidency of such a
man as Hearst is, can scarcely be
conceived. A newspaper is a re.
Election of it's editor. The Hearst
newspapers are the most wild
and reckless of all American pub
lications. They advocate every
sensational thing that Can, enter
into the imagination of men to
conceive. Ii the advice of these
newspapers had been followed at
Washington, this country would
have been involved in perpetual
war during the last eight years.
It would have had armed conflicts
with every first class nation. in
Europe. If the Hearst newspa
pers could have had their way
we would even now be embroiled
in war with Russia. OF cou1ee
there is no danger that Heart III
ever be president. But the mere
fact that he is being endorsed as
a presidential candidate as re-
marked above, is a sign of politi-
cal degeneracy.-Cedar Rapids

The first assistant postmaster
general has completed readjust-
ment of salaries of presidential
postmasters throughout the
country, based on receipts for
the four quarters ending March
81. The showing for the north.
west is !. very good one, indicat-
ing, as do all other pointers. that
the past fiscal year has been very
prosperous. In Minnesota ITO
postmasters will have their sala-
ries increased, and only three
will draw less than during the
current year. Of those increased
ninety five will draw 500 more
and fifteen 5000 more; the three
reductions will be for 800 each.
In North Dakota, salaries of twen-
ty postmasters will be increased
:
800 each, seven by 5000 each,
three by $500 and two by $4OO.
Two postm .sters will each draw
500 less than formerly. InSouth
Dakota the increases will be-:
Twenty nine by 800; six by 5000,
one by $500. There will be no
reductions. Ninety-five Iowa
postmasters will each draw 500
more next year than this, five
will draw 5000 more and one $500
more. Thirteen will be reduced
to the fourth class. The changes
in Wisconsin viii be sixty-eight
increased 500 each, eight 5000
each, and five reduced 500 each.

There are three kinds of citi-
zens in every town, says q Wis
consin exchange. Those who
have big philanthropic hearts,
work for the good of the town
and spend money for it whether
they are directly benefited or
not. Then there are those who
work for o town but expect to be
benefited personally for all mon
ey or work expended. Then there
is the third class. that never con-
tributes q cent in cash or work
toward the public welfare, but
reaps the benefit of the labor and
cash, of his more progressive
neighbors. The last named may
get to be called a noted tinancier
when he could not discount 9
note at two per cent a month for
six months, if his life depended
on it. His name may always be
good when attached to the busi
ness end of a check. But there
will never be a time in that man S
life when he won't have the well
merited contempt of every man
who is capable Of a feeling OF
friendship.

One of the American '.iusti,u-
tons" likely to be transplanted
to Europe as result of the visit
of a group Of fGermauagricultural
experts and scientists to this
country is popcorn. These gen.
't1emen first saw popped corn and
the process of popping it when in
Iowa, and were immensely tickled
with it. They will carry back
packages of the seed corn and of
the popped article; and no doubt,
ere long, in many a German kitch-
en- will be heard the music of
bursting kernels, while the air
carries to the nostrils the minis
tries of a new delight. Whatever
debt we owe Germany for her
gift of wienerwurst and pretzels
will be more than cancelled when
we make her acquainted with
popcorn.
Potter the First has ascended
the blood stained throne of Servia
after the place was made vacant
for him by the most cold blooded
assassinations at the hands of po-
litical tricksters ever recorded
n the pages of history. Army
officials have murdered the king
and queen and several others and
they will murder Peter if he eoffers
to do anything contrary to their
wishes-he is a king with collar
around his neck and might just
as well jump into the creek. Ser
via is in the hands of military de-
spots and the land is fomenting
with the leaven of murder and
political trickery. The powers
of the old world are falling all ov-
er each other in giving the glad
hand to the new king instead Of
joining togetherin demanding the
punishment of all those who took
part in the recent bloody tragedy.
jest so long as the participants
of that terrible affair are allowed
to live and dictate the policies of
Servia just so long will Peter or
his successors wear a collar
What is needed is to wipe the
whole bunch of assassins off the
face of the earth and then fire the
monarch, dump the crown, scept-
er and other gimcracks in the
scrap iron pile, make a republic
out of the country and give the
people a chance to run their own
affairs and elect their own ofic-
ia1s. Peter get a comb proof

Americus Will Get Few Bales in
August.
Some time ago the Times-Recorder
Yentured the prediction that few bales
of cotton would be marketed here be-
fore September 1st, and indications at
present tend to bear out that estimate.
So far but two new bales have come in,
and only one week of August remains.
If the weather continues fair some cot
ton will be picked this week and pos
sibly fifty bales marketed by Saturday.
The feecy is opening very slowly as
yet, but such hot weather as yesterday
brought will tend to spread a mantle
of white over the cotton fields ere long.
1t is not likely that there will be any
very general movement Of cotton in
Americus until September 15th-three
week hence, though it will be coming
in very freely by that time. At this
date last year Americusghad already
received several hundred bales, while
by September LIST there were 8, 500 bales
in her warehouses.

Sumter sustains the loss of one of her
truest and best citizens; esteemed
and honored among hundreds here
who knew him we'll.
During the long months of illness he
bore his sufferings with the fortitude
of the christian that he was; christian
who exemplified that virtue in his
daily walk; one who loved his fellow
man, and who's record for honesty and
integrity throughout his career was
unimpeached and unassailable.
For the word of S. A. Walters stood
for truth above all things, for honesty,
charity and beneYolence.
AS farmer he made a success III
life, as he did of whatever else he I'm.
dertook. For four years he served the
COnfa0eracV with that fidelity charac.
teristic of him, and no truer, drawer,
soldier followed the fortunes of Robert
E. Lee. He was consistent member
of the Methodist church ever since
young manhood.

ter, Mrs. Tim M. Furlow, and Ameri.
