POLITICAL NOTES.

Department Commander Smith of the
G. A. r., who has just returned from
the national encamDment at San Fran
cisco, says that the western veterans
propose to boom Gen. Ell Torrance. of
St Paul, late commander-in-chief of
the 9. A. r.. for vice president on the
Republican ticket next year. He says
the matter was thoroughly canvaSSed
at San Francisco, and the veterans de-
cided that General Torrance is their
most available timber for vice presi-
dent. They never expect to elect an
old soldier president again, but they
think they should be allowed the vice
president. Colonel Smith says it is the
idea to organize Roosevelt and Tor
rance clubs and start the movement
among the voters themselves.
The Oskaloosa Independent, which is
an anti-Leland paper advises Governor
Bailey to allow Judge GeDhart to hold
over in the efferSon-JackSon judicial
district since OPPOSITION has developed
to the appointment of Senator Hurrel.
There are reasons for believing that the
Independent does not stand very high
with Governor Bailey.
Ex-United States Senator PETER is
still at work on his congressional index
in washington. When he began it he
expected to complete the work in two
years He has now worked that long
and it will probably require two years
/ longer. Congress voted him $1,000 for
the work on the superstition that he
could complete it in two years. Since
it will take him longer this aDpropria-

Chicgo, Sept. 8-President Harper has

Turkey to an exploration of the coun-

BETTER Roads Coming.

Rural free delivery and public school con-
solidation are two elements to be considered
in the "good roads" movement of the future.
If county roads are to become National
highways for carriage of the mail, the Ma
tional government should appropriate some
of It's annual billion dollars expenditures to
the bettermeut of these highways and if con-
veyances are to be driven twice daily over
these same roads to segregate school children
there is another reason why the State should
make provision for road Improvement
If the National and State governments
will appropriate a sum annually for the pur-
pose and the counties quit patch'n9 and go
to making roads, it will be but a brief while
until the present miserable system will only
be dsagreeahle memory,
