IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
The Cedar Falls Gazette believes
Monroe county has done the right
thing In nominating Nate Kendall to
represent them anothe. term in the
state legislature He is one Of the most
popular followers of Blackstone in the
house at the pres ent time and one of
the Youngest members. He stands
fair show of being speaker next term
and the state would honor Itself in Civ
ing him such a leadership. His oratory
keeps him busy filing important APP
poin tments and he is a special friend
OF the miners of Iowa"
"If either the Catholic church or the
Typographical Union will keep fore
man from swearing when he finds in
the paper that III put part of SER

..son,e real good will core cut of their
discussions"
Apropos of the statement that Gov
ernor Cummns will recommend to the
Legislature the establishment of an in
surance department for the manage
ment of insurance interests. the Iowa
City Republican declares such de-
partment should have been put in OPP
Grafton ten years ago. The auditor of
state has more i'm oortan, duties to per-
form than most of the state officers
without looking after insurance. While
the present auditor Mr.. Carroll has
done good work during his first year
in raorganizing the force OF his office

trious ana nanstaking an official" but
the Republican believes that even
with so good and officer Il would be
better 10 put the insurance affairs into
an independent department"
But VIVA: a foolish notion there
seems to be in regard to the age at
which a man cease to be useful ex-
claims the Boone Republican. "A few
wears ago the age OF retirement was
| 70 and from thae 1t has been scaled
down to 35-just the prime of life.
What nonsense that a man Is not ca
! nable of good work after that age!
TAX. the successful business or pro-
! fessional men OF Boone and the great
majority are over 35 and probably
| there are no better railroad men in the
country than there are in Boone, yet
| they Will average much over the Erie
limit"
The Burlington Gazette fdem.) says
Jerry Sullivan's speech has the true
ring of democracy. and he goes at the
subject with a ind we'll stored with
4
ton. He realizes that 1t Is one OF the
fundamental principles .ying at the
foundation of free government. The
taxation question was what brought
about the revolution and our independ-
ence. He Is for strictly revenue tariff. +"
The Dubuque Times says in favor of
| Mr.. Merriam, the former auditor of
state, and Max Ileehler. his. man Fri
day, that they have pointed out a way
by which the state might raise reye-
of the good roads movement"
The Washington Press asserts that

year, is the blan eldest nuts ance in all

The Guthrie Center Guthrian is OPP
posed to any change from annual eiec-
4 tons and believes that If this ques-
ton Is again submitted and thoroughly
/ discussed by the country press that 1t
will be defeated by the voters" The
i Guthrian declares the safety of a re-
publican form of government depends
largely upon the frequency of our cleo
tons, and is worth all Il costs"

Hartley Journal, issues an ultimatun

ers to the effect that their arrearages
