The days for penny-wise and pound- foolish policies in Alabama have given place to the spirit of advancement and progress which now pervades the whole State. It would be a great and serious mistake not to have Alabama fttingiy and appropriately represented at the Worlds Fair~ at St. LOuis The idea of presenting the resources and advantages with which nature has blessed us as they really exist is a good one. Alabama will stand the test with any other State in all thls Union.

SENATOR E. W. PErTUs.

The Greensboro Record last week made the wise suggestion that all members of the Alabama Legislature write to Senator Pettus, assuring him of their-sup- port. It says;
 During the six years that General E.. W. Pettus has served as United States Senator from Alabama 1t has been his unique record that he has never once missed a roll call. Wind or snow, rain or sunshine, he has always been in his seat and hard as work long og before the
 Senator Pettus is candidate for re- election before the next Legislature of Alabama. There has not been, nor will there be, any name proposed in opposi- tion to him, and deservedly so because of the high esteem and personal con- fidence that the people of Alabama have in him. In peace as in war he has shown himself faithful and true.
 The Legisiature meets in Montgomery on Tuesday, January 18th, and Congress convenes tn Washington on Monday, January sth. If Senator Pettus is to be in Montgomery at the next session of the Laxislature, he vii necessarily be unable to answer roll call Tn Washington, and the proud record of his service is lost. Should not the Legislature of Ala bama prevent this?
 Senator Pettus, of course, would like to appear before the Legislature and tsn- der tn person his thanks for the honor conferred on him by reelection, but to do SO he would sacrifice a record that is unequaled in the annals of the Senate. He alone now enjoys the proud dtstine- tion of having always answered present to every roll call since the first day he took his seat as Senator from Alabama,
 We suggest to the members of the Legislature that each individual Senator and Representative write to Senator Pet tus and assure him of their confidence in him and of their support, and suggest to him that he keep l.lj record and re- main in Washington. not returning to be present at the meeting of the Legislature; that they as individuals will look to his interests. Let him in his honered seat in the United States Senate receive the news of the honor of a re-electon.

GOLD.

Realizing early that money was the root or nameiess evils. and not perceiving that It must. therefore, become the basis of most that was good in the world, the too moral spsrtans, for example. made their money of Iron, the cheapest and heaviest metal known to them. and so in order to restrain ayarice, they coined their unit or values. the penny as we might call it. 10 weigh something like hundredweight SO that the people might be restrained rom accomplishing or boarding money.
 But the Spartans were of too sturdy a morality. The world came very soon to recognise gold as the most precious of available metals for coinage into a uni- versaily acceptable token of actual values n the trade intercourse between the peo- pies, This early acceptance of gold has never since been denied Gold remains the worlds standard of trade values It is

has been very successful in defeating
democratic nominees for that office but
last year he was elected by small ma
jirity. Mr.. Parsons, if nominated, will
try to earry Lyon county. Mr. McCol-
lun. democratic nominee for represen-
tative, will try to carry Osceoia county
If Mr.. Parson can carry Lyos it viii
help MIR. McCollums chance to become
representative and Mr.. Mcclellan will
help increase the Parsons vote in Os-
ceola county.
A good run for Parsons H. Lyons
and Osceola would make him n logical
candidate for nomination for Office next
year and he would probably AXE the
nomination for county attorney with
the hope of winning, rather than take
another congressional nomination with
the hope only of diminishing the size
of the republican majority.
So that If Mr.. Parsons Is the nominee
and the signs. though not great, are
yet significant, the novel spectacle may
be presented of a democratic senatorial
nominee seeking TO achieve political
success by carrying part OF the Big
Four senatorial district.
Fisher, county attorney of Lyon coun-
ty, and Roach, quite likely TO be a can
didate for congress next year, are men
who have met Parsons in many con
test, and will meet him again this fall
If he obtains the nomination.
The probability is that the political
leaders of the republican party at Rock
Rapids will make an earnest effort to
help elect the republican stare, sena-
torial, representative and coucty ticket
by decisive Lyon county republican
majority. Indeed, for Mr.. Roach it Will
be highly to his advantage that the re-
publican party keep well in the ascen-
dency in Lyon county.
SO while Mr.. Lamkin has very wor-

Kimmel would have stirring opposition
with Mr. Parsons, the democratic nom

Mr. Lamkin will be supported as eff

Gratis in Osceola county, an that Mr..

Special to Republican.
Mason City, Aug. 24.-The Great
Western has issued bulletin stating
that on Sept. 1 bids win be open for
runs on the new line. Any engineer,
fireman. conductor or brakeman on the
system who desires a run on the ex-
tension must send in an application
for the run which he desires after Sept.
/ l. These will be considered by the
company until the first of October,
when the names of 7sthe permanent
runs will be given out.
Seniority of service is the only thing
that will determine who will get these
plums. Any man in the company's
Iservice on any division is allowed to
try for work on the new division. In
the interim. while the bids for the runs
are being considered, trains will be run
by temporary crews appointed by the
company
Many of the company's employees are
looking forward TO the opening of the
new line. for there are always good
runs which many hands are seeking to
capture. In the run to Omaha there
will be several positions which will pay
from Sl25 to $3.50 month.
In order that these may be given
equitably so that there can be no COM
plant as to discrimination the COM
pany gives the Oldest men the positions
open.
For the first three months after the
runs have been established those en-
poyed in train service on the run will
rot be allowed to return to other divis-
ions. but after that time the division
will be thrown open and the rules gov
erning it will be the same as those on
the remainder of the system.
