GROVER CLEVELAND NOT A CAN

New York, June 19.-The World today
publishes dispatch from Princeton,
n j., quoting EN-Presidcnt Cleveland as
saying:
sit is perfectly absurd to suppose for
an instant that have any desire to re-
enter public life. Nor have | remotely
entertained the thought since l left
Washinton moro than six years ago.
4 The matter is as far from my thoughts
as it was in 1886, when, all must admit,
it was not within my hearing or sight.
/ have no higher aspiration than to pass
my days in peace with my family around
me, and take no part in politics which
any private citizen cannot take with
the UTMOST propriety.
81 have never spoken to anybody on
the subject of a fourth candidacy.
have never written to a single political
friend one way or the other, nor have
been written to or spoken to by them.
There is not a political loader of amy
prominence cndeavoring to advance amy
movement to nominate me in any state,
so far as have been advised, nor do
anticipate that any. such effort will be
made by any leader, prominent or OBJ
scure, in any locality,

year undertaken to perform the labor
which usually falls to the private in the

consciousness of having made an effort

HOLD ON TO YOUR JOBS.

Alex Miller, of the Washington Dem
ocrat has the following advice to give
to young men who have jobs at the
present time. Alex, docs not have much
confidence in the future possibilities of
Jobs hunting men, and speaks OF the
future, as follows:
"'rhe top OF the hill has been reached
and if you have a good job, hold it. In
a year from now jobs will not be hunt
ing you, as they are now. Even at pres
ent farmers are unable to get help,
Lots of business is not doing as we'll as
it should, for lack of help.
But do you notice the terrible unrest
there is in the labor world? Strike fol
lows strike. Chicago business houses
are sending out word to their customers
to buy ahead enough to run them for a
few weeks as strike of freight hand
lers is imminent. Every city, almost, is
resting on the top of labor volcano
liable to explode any time. Working
men are dissatisfied, and with some
show Of reason, yet a poor job is better
than none. Labor is being paid big
wages, but still not large enough tc
| counter-balancc the extra cost Of living
Labor is uneasy. Ever so often labor
becomes dissatisfied. And between
times capital gets restless and hades is
a-poppin'. Thus it goes. The time is
coming, and is not far distant, whcr
trouble will be coming as sure as sun.
rise. If you have good job hold onto
it like grim death, for this is the law
and the prophets, or words to thai
effect"

PREDICTS "A DEMOCRATIC VIC.
TORY.

Some of the foremost business men OF
the coantry men who arc so closely
identified with the countly's commercial
intcrcsts that they know the feelings
among thl,ir associates are strongly OF
the opinion that TIC next presidential
election viii result in u tremendous
democratic victory.
In making such 4 prediction these
men are not speaking from the stand
point OF the politician, but arc volclng
the views of hundreds OF their assocl-
ates who, like themselves, look at actual
conditions and pay no attention to the
plotting and scheming of the political
world
Nathan Strauss of New York, a prince
among merchants. noted for his phil
anthropy and independence OF character,
regards the national political situation
as exceedingly promising for the DEM
ocratic party.
He is convinced that the trend of the
times is toward more simplicity and
honesty, more of the straightforward
business, administration of affairs and
less Of the red tape, graft and dlshon-
esty of republicanism. Public sentl-
mcnt, he thinks, is decidedly opposed to
the present conduct of affairs.
According to Mr.. Strauss the tidal
wave which swept Cleveland into office
will in the coming campaign bring
about a complete reversal of the pres
ent order of things and carry the stan
dard bearer of the democratic party
whoever he may be, into the White
House.
The people arc distinctly in favor o.
return to the plain rule and cconomi
cal measures which prevailed prior tt
the EZRA of prosperity" There is alto
gether too much graft, too much of1icia
extravaganza, too much dishonesty ant
too little sound common sense in the
present administration.
Such sentiment coming from man o
the recognized commercial standing O
Mr.. Strauss are not to be lightly regard
ed. They are significant of the feeling
which is rapidly spreading all over the
country.
Trust oppression is making the work
ingman restless and dissatisfied, the eN
travagance of the administration is max
ing all rightminded men distrustful Of re
publicanism and the diabolical looting o.
the government by members of the poll
teal machine having taxed public pa
thence to the limit.
Those who have noted the growing
fear of Rooseveltism and the increasing
distrust of republican sincerity ant
honestly will not be surprised that Mr.
Strauss and others Of his standing in Thu
commercial world predict return t.

tration of state affairs.

tratlOn Oh state a11alrS.
We believe in a tariff for revenue
only to be SO adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country, and
not discriminate between classes or
sections, and that taxation should be
limited by tho needs of the government,
state or national, honestly and economl-
cally administered.
We believe that the protective tariff
advocated and maintained by the repub-
lean party under the plea Of protcc-
ton of home industries has been a
breeder of trusts and monopolics, there
by enriching the few at the expense Of
the many.
The minority report was signed by w.
Z. Cannon, the other member of the
committee and was as follows:
We the democracy OF Decatur county,
Iowa, in convention assembled, renew
our allegiance to the principles of true
democracy maintained and upheld by a
long line of eminent statesmen from
Thomas Jefferson to William Jennings
Bryan, and especially affirm the demo-
cratic platform adopted at Kansas City
in July 1900, as the latest exposition OF
democratic principles made necessary
by present political conditions.
And we instruct the delegates chos-
en- by this convention to attend the
democratic state convention at Des
Moines, Iowa, June oath, 1908, to work
and vote for the embodiment of the
principles above stated in the state
platform of that convention.
On motion of e. J. Sankcy the minor
ity report was voted on first, Mr.. Sank
ey making a plea for an absolute stand
ing by of the Kansas City platform,
which he read to the convention, insist
ing that it was the last exposition OF
democratic principles it should be en-
dorsed.
V. r. McGinnis spoke in favor of the
majority report, claiming that while
the Kansas City platform was all right
at the time it was adopted conditions
had changed since that time, and in his
opinion the tariff and trust questions
were the paramount issues, the money
question not being an issue at this
time.

last Saturday.

The democratic county convention call
ed to select delegates to the state con-
vention held at Des Moines yesterday,
convened at the court house in this city
last Saturday, the attendance not being
as large as usual from the fact that far
mcrs all over the county were taking adj
vantage of the good weather and were

them for staying away.
But few of the delegates had arrived at
II o'clock the hour set for theconvcn-

fore the afternoon session, and although

The report of the committee on reso

expected there was a difference Of

GONE TO Her REST
Mrs. Hale OF Eureka Township
Dead.
Took Aconite While In n Dementeo
Condition-Was Seventy-four
Years Old.

Last Saturday night about II o'clock
DR.. e. w Little was hurriedly sum-
moned to Eureka township to care for
Mrs. Clementine Hale, mother Of
Robert Hale, who resides about three
miles northwest of this city, who had
taken dose of aconitc with suicidal
intent. The doctor drove there as
rapidly as possible but found the old
lady beyond human aid, rs the deadly
drug had already paralyzed the heart
and was fast claiming its victim
Mrs. Hale had been afflicted with a
form of dementla for some time past,
but those who were caring for her lit
tie dreamed that it would take the
turn it did. Mrs. Hale was nearly
"A years of age and had a good home
and the best of care with her son, but
she was afflicted as many an elderly
person is. with that strange idea that
because of her age she was in the way.
She had been counting good deal
Of late on visiting a daughter who re-
sides i'm Stanwood, and had her trunk
packe for several days waiting to 90,
but had been informed that she would
have to wait for few days as the
daughter was not quite prepared to
receive her. This added TO her mel
ancholy TO a certain degree and
caused her to take the deadly drug
that took her from her friends to that
bourne from which no traveller e'er
returns. All that medical skill could
do for her was done, butFthe poor old

the 10 days preceding the 'presenta-
tion of the original 10 the county
clerk"
If this representative is honest in
what he writes, then he virtually
intended to make it necessary for
friends of local option to stand guard
over every petition from the time of
posting until the 10 days expired.
The courts will not even consider
what may have been the intention OF
individual members, but will give the
law a reasonable construction and
one which will allow the voters OF the
county to vote on the question with
out having to perform the impossible,
and the sooner the liquor interests
recognize this fact the better 1t will
be for them.
The Portland Review, although OPP
possed to local option, makes the fol-
lowing comment on the letter OF MIR
Parmiter:
"These points are all technical and
the fact remains that large per.
centage of the voters of the county
have asked that the question be sub
mitted to vote. The board of super
visors cannot afford to ignore such
