Speaking of the recent socialist con-
vention at Des Moines and of their
platform the Dallas County News says:
"None of these fellows are million
aires and they never expect to be.
They do not own any good farms and
they never expect to own any. They
have no stock in railroads or factories
and they never expect to own any. In
fact they are the fellows who have but
little and who want what the other
fellow has got. They do not believe
any man has any business working
hard, getting up early and staying up
late, saving what he can and carefully
investing what he saves and finally
getting rich, then being allowed to
keep what he has got. In fact they
think it his duty to divide with the
fellow who sits on dry goods box
and tells people how to save the
country

Cedar Falls Gazette: Neither the
primary nor the caucus will do away
with political clashing. Factions al
ways have existed and always will.
1t would indicate party decay, if no
more than one man wanted Office, or it
might be charged by the opposite par
ty that it was all ring, cut and dried
from the beginning and hencenew par
ties would spring up all about. TO be
satisfied is to die a political death.
What is the difference which system
is used so long as men are free to
speak and use their influence for their
favorites? 1t is nonsense for the
stay-at-homes to condemn any party
for a choice of candidates. The stay
at-home has the same privilege his
neighbor enjoys and let him use it as
an honest, an upright citizen interest
ed in the welfare of his country ought
to do. We have been in many politi-
cal fights, but never came out disgrun+
tied because we failed to win. We
admired our opponent, if he did his
work honestly in getting to the front.
1t is the bad spirit men put into cam
.paigns that makes bad results. No
country in the world has such a free
for-all method of choosing its repre-
sentatives and we fail to appreciate
our liberties in that respect when we
stay at home and let the bad element
run the communities.

Iowa is said to be the best field in
tn United States for the professional
lecturer. 1t has no end of small
prosperous towns where the people
are intelligent and DESTROYS of high
grade of entertainment. Lots of farm
ers live near and they help out in
these enterprises. Iowa is also de-
veloping her share of first class lee
turers. Prominent among them are
Senator J. p. Dolliyer, Father J. F..
Nugent, Edward Amherst OFT, former
ly of Des Moines, now of Chicago,
and l.. b. Wickersham, of IndianOla.
Congressman Wade and Rev. Green, of
Cedar Rapids, recently have entered
the lists. Then there are very many
other lecturers, mostly preach
ers, who occasionly deliver lectures.
There are many others who are
able orators who are too busy or are
disinclined to go on the lecture plat
form. Among these we might mention
Congressman Cousins, Gov. Cummins,
Congressman Walter |. Smith, Nate
Kendall, B. |. Salinger and host OF
others who would be eminently success
full if they should devote themselves to
amusing, instructing and spell-bind-
ing. A lot of them, perhaps, do not
regard it as the highest achievement
to entrance an audience with words.
1t is good thing they do not, else the
people would have surfeit of oratory
and be. hypnotized from the lecture
platform entirely too frequently.

Governor Cummins, as we'll as his
associates, deserve the praise of the
state for the masterlymanner in which
they are doing their work of assess
ing the railroads and equalizing the
assessment of real estate. Represen-
tatives of various interests are invited
before the council and given patient
hearing. The same can be said of
Governor Shaw, but he had the mis-
fortune to be, bounded by guerilla
sheet published at Des Moines at
that time. 1t is no easy task these
men have to perform and they should
be given due credit for the conscien-
tious work they do.-Vinton Eagle.

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea.

"About six years ago for the first
time in my life had sudden and a
severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs.
Alice Willer, Of Morgan, Texas. 81
got temporary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six long
years ! have suffered more misery and
agony than can tell. II was worse
than death. My husband spent humid
reds of dollars for physicians and
treatment without avail. Finally we
moved to Boone county, our present
home, and one day happened TO see
an advertisement of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy with the testimonial of q man who
had been cured by it. The case was
so similar to my own that concluded
to try the remedy. The result was
wonderful. | could not realize that
was well again, or believe that |
could be so after having suffered so
long, but that one bottle Of medicine,
costing but u few cents cured me. J"

1t is becoming more likely as time
goes on that Organism will be over
thrown by the democratic national
convention next year and that the
friends of Cleveland will be in posses
sion of the machinery of the party.
Then we presume lot of the demo-
Gratis even in Audubon county where
they now claim to oppose the princi-
pal of three terms of two years each
in q county Office, will be conscien-
tiously favorable to three terms of
four years each in the chief executive
Office of this country. They will be
making laughing stock of their con-
victions if they don't look out.

Crop Bulletin.
For week ending July 20, 1908.

For week ending July 20, 1903.
The past week afforded four or five
days of fine weather for hay making
and harvesting small grain, and the
time was well improved. A large
amount of well cured hay has been
put into stacks and barns, and the
quality of the crop is generally up to
the average. The showers of the 18th
and 18th were timely and very bene-
fetal, except in limited areas in the
northern and eastern districts where
damage resulted from heavy down
pours. In the southern districts the
showers were generally light, and in
some places the surface Is becoming
hard and dry. The general condition
of the corn crop appears now rs 10
be steadily improving, though the
temperature for the week was slightly
below normal. A survey Of the fields
will show unusual variation in the
size and appearance of the corn plant
ranging from twelve inches to the
normal tasseling height, and it is ev-
ident that extremely favorable weather
will be required to bring the belatcd
portion Of the crop to maturity.
Spring wheat and oats are affected
by rust, especially the late seeded por-
tions, and the quality Of the grain will
be somewhat impaired. The barley
harvest is well advanced and early
seeded wheat and oats are in shock.
Reports indicate that the early potato
is below expectations, being affected
by blight and rot. The apple crop is
appearing to hold its own and the
Weld Of earlY fruit is good.

Pope Leo XIII, who died Monday
afternoon, was one of the truly great
and good characters of the age. He
the world with his learning,
craftsmanship and his piety. People
of all creeds, whether they believed on
religious subjects as he believed or
not, came to respect him for his great
qualities. Elected as pope when he
was an old and physically weak man,
6S years of age, he has surprised man
kind by his vitality, reigning over
twenty-five years. His conduct was
marked by liberality towards peoples
of other creeds.

jeremiah B. Sullivan will in all
probability receive the most consider
ate treatment in his campaign for
governor. He is personally worthy
of the highest consideration, but po-
litically he is not better than his party.
He represents the same democracy
that Fred White and Tom Philips
stood for and is just as good as they
were and no better. One can not sep
arate a candidate from his party,
when the governorship or any other

The state bar association has lots
of ideas about how the law ought to
be changed. Its members are made
up largely of men whose business is
administering law. They thus be-
come more familiar with theconditions
of society which the law is meant to
affect than ordinary citizens. 1t is
therefore natural when they meet for
them to 60 to passing resolutions for
new legislation.

The New Sharon Star calls atten-
ton to the fact that the courts are
sometimes very slow in furnishing
criminals and often the murderer gets
continuances, new trials and at last
gets off altogether through technical
tiles. All this is some excuse for the
spirit in some parts that nurtures the
lynching habit.

To Bore for Ore Under a Lake.

From the Duluth News-Tribune.
 County Attorney John M. McClintock has secured a lease from State Auditor Iverson of the bed of Longyear lake, at Chisholm on the Mesaba range for the purpose of exploring it Tor ron ore and mining the same if discovered.
 Longyear lake Is a meandered body of water, and this is the first lease of a meandered lake in the history of the state. Under the terms of the lease MT. McClin- tock is not allowed to lower the level of the lake or drain it.
 The bed of Longyear lake has an area of 172 acres.
 The lease gives Mir. MeClintock the right to prospect for iron ore for one year, and at the end of that time to nual payment on the fifty-year contract until the ore is mined will be s100 per sec- ton, and on all ore mined the state will get royalty of 25 cents a ton.
 For five years after railroad is com pleted within one mile of the property the lessee must pay royalty on at least 1000 tons a year. As soon as the fifty year contract Is made the lessee must pay the taxes on the land as if he owned 1t in fee.
 The income from the leases of lake beds, unlike incomes from other mineral leases. will go to the general revenue fund instead of trust funds.
 Mir. Iverson has twenty-four other ap- plications for leases of lake beds in the Mesaba and yermilion ranges, compris- ing thousands of acres.

Baxter 6 Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 22-Cotton opened a shade easier today. There was not much of a market. The weekly Chronicle re- port was rather bearish. Cables were one to four points higher Weather conditions in the south were the most favorable for some time. The rain was quite unimpor- tant and the forecast was for very good weather until Monday. Nevertheless we are passing through the most critical stage for all years and more especially so this season when the crop is so far behind. The absence of new cotton Is still felt and until it appears In liberal quantities there is reluctance to sell anywhere. The slight est sign of crop deterioration would give rise to wild buying and the fear of some setback makes sellers cautious. Liver pool stocks during the week lost 5000 bales and the total Is now 2s0,000 against 476.000 last year. The afloat stock Is un- changed The worlds visible supply lost during the week 136,0O0 bales. The market was unusually dull today because of the regular half holiday and the yacht race, Prices were kept within a very narrow range and there was some disappointment because Liverpool was not showing great CT strength in this market Receipts es- timated 200 again=t G,400 last year.

until the new crop has emerged from the frost period, even if other possible ac- cdents are escaped. the market is likely to continue very sensitive to news from the interior. In the absence of a serious accident to the crop prices will probably be more inclined to recede from any ad- vance, while on the other hand a decided crop scare will be the signal for fresh wave of buying that might have sensa- tional ~e7ults, and with a continuation of .oll weevil damage reports lively
