The Same Over Here.

The Charles City Intelligencer con-
tains the following which is applicable
to Decorah:
"We understand the Mercantile AS
sociation is considering a rebate scheme
whereby they expect to get much
trade. The matter is to be worked
somewhat like the credential plan of
the railroads. Anything that will
bring increased trade to our merchants
should be given welcome but we won

aud more business-like plan of adver-
tising their wares through the news

by these same merchants. Newspaper

anything else that has ever been tried.
The newspapers of this city are the
legitimate channels through which
our merchats should reach their GUS
toners. How many of our merchants
are using the newspapers to tell the
people what they have got in their
stores? The merchants of Waverly,
Nashua, New Hampton, Usage, Mason
City and other towns, are active and
persistent in their efforts to draw trade
from this territory. and no counter
effort is being made by our dealers.
If judged by the local papers, only
few of the merchants of the city want
more trade-there is not line of ad-
vertislng in their columns indicating
that they do. F"

Candidates Compared.

The New York Sunday Democrat,
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
and came out for Roosevelt in giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming, says:
"'Judge Parker has few of the attri-
butes of popularity; Theodore Roose-
velt has them all.
Parker is timid; Roosevelt is
brave.
Parker is controlled by friends
and patrons; Roosevelt is independent.
Parker represents no policy and
has no political record; Roosevelt is
one of the acknowledged progressive
statesmen of the century and his re-
cord is the record of the sunshine
years of militant and advancing
Americanism.
AS there is practically no one to
vigorously oppose there is no one to
actively defend Judge Parker as po-
litical standard bearer. Theodore
Roosevelt invites the fire of partisan
enemies and attracts to his support
thousands of patriotic and earnest ad-
mirers.
Judge Parker is weak candidate,
an unwise candidate. an unfortunate
candidate for the Presidency. A life
of judicial monotony and exclusion
from political affairs does not appeal
to the allegiance of Dartisans Tbeo-
dore Roosevelt is strong, a vigorous,
an invincible candidate for the Presi-
dency. He is man of action nomi-
mated for an electorate of Astounding
energy force and progress. He is, es-
peciallv, the idol of the young men of
the country.
1t is, therefore, not at all surpris-
ing that as the voters contrast these
two candidates they should be ir-
resistibly drawn to one--to Roosevelt
and should be repelled from or be-
come Indifferent to his antagonist.
Parker. Such is the present trend Of
the campaign am it is decidedly favor
able to President Roosevelt. No reas-
enable doubt of his election exists or
is entertained by anyone familiar with
politics, Democrat or Republican.

They are for Roosevelt.

There is a magnetism in oren, fear
less manhood which attracts the souls
Of men. The workingmen of the
country recognize in President Roose-
velt an active worker, sincere, de-
mocratic, straightout brother man.
There is no discounting the unerring
instinct by which one sturdy man or
class of men reaches swift decision as
to character. Perhaps the rank and
file of the workers of the United
States cannot give out long speeches
as to why they believe in Roosevelt.
but the fact is they know him. That
is enough.
Put Theodore Roosevelt in "a group
of railway engineers and firemen. or
on ranch in Idaho; let him sit down
90 dinner with dozen farmers at
country tavern or ride in car with
team, or delegation of stonemasons.
and instantly he would be sized up,
estimated and acknowledged by any
and all Of these representatives of
American life as hearty genial COM
panion, and as a strong man and as a
strong leader of men.
Evidences multiply, day by day,
showing in what high esteem Presi-
dent Roosevelt is held by the men who
are doing the work of the country the
work which keeps life going, and
makes the wheels 60 round" And
these intelligent, keen workers, look
ing with clear eyes upon the great
fabric of society that they are daily
building, know how to pick leader
tor themselves and their country.
Nothing can make the virile young
manhood of America turn its eyes
away from Theodore Roosevelt. Moth
ing can destroy the confidence in him
of the steady, hopeful toilers of
middle age. And to the old and ex.
perienced the vain appeals of ancient
party prejudices are but as railings to
the deaf. Young, middle aged and
old alike in the great world of iudus-
try and traffic. have made up their
minds about the coming election and
when it comes they are going to show
the faith that is in them.
The American workingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt.
They know just what to expect of him
when he is President, and they mean
to have it by electing him.

A Fair Proposition.

The Allamakee Agricultural Society
finds its fair badly in debt and has
been offered business proposition by
Judge M. B. Hendricks, of Waukon.
If the Agricultural Society will sur
render its affairs absolutely into his
hands, Judge Hendricks offers to give
fair every year for five years, and
pay at least $1,000 annually in prem
iums, pay all premiums awarded. and
all expenses of holding such fairs,
and surrender the property at the end
OF five years free from all debts.

What Roosevelt Says.

No man is happy if he does not
work.
believe emphatically in organized
labor.
The millennium is not here; it is
some thousand years off yet.
The givers and takers OF bribes stand
on an evil pre-eminence of lnfamy.
This is not and never shall be a
government either of plutocracy or
mob.
Organization is one of the laws of
our social and economic development
at this time.
Far and away the best prize that
life offers is the chance to work at
work worth doing.
The well-being of wage worker is
prime consideration Of our entire
policy of economic legislation.
Ours is not the creed of the weak

If you have not honesty in the aver

After the farmer has had the farm

There can be no real general pros

Above all. remember this: that the

Each man must work for himself.
and unless he so works no outside help
avails him; but each man must re-

One feature of honesty and common
sense combined is never to promise
what you do not think you can per-
form, and then never fail TO perform
what you have promised.

State Superintendent of Public In
structiou j. F. Riggs advocated a
radical change in the methods now in
practice, regarding the granting of
certificates to teachers. at the session
of the conv ention of the Northeastern
Iowa Teachers association at Dubuque
Saturday. Supt. Riggs outlined a
plan for licensing teachers by state
board and his suggestions met with
general favor. Mr.. Riggs would have
teachers take examinations to be passed
upon by state board which would
grant a certificate that would be good
in any county in the state. This GER
tiicate would be good so long as the
teacher continued to do good work.
Then there would be survival of the
fittest. for the good teacher could de-
mand good salary and il the direc.
tors of one county refused it the
teacher could 60 to another county.
Mr.. Riggs delared that the teachers OF
Iowa are, as rule. underpaid. but
added that there are some that are
overpaid.

Resolutions of Respect.


Tribute of respect to the memory Of
Capt. James E. Simpson. late Co. G,
18th Iowa. adopted by Col. Hughes
Post No. 16S, G. A. r.. at its meeting
Oct 81, 1904.
When one whose genial, lovable and
magnetic nature, endearing him to all
within the circle of his friendship
passes away, We have just cause to
mourn. When one whose generous
heart always filed with the kindliest
impulses, always beating in sympathy
with his fellow man, is called to his
long rest, we know that We have lost
the dearest, rarest thing OH earth--a
troe friend. When one whose gifts of
mind, active. alert and broad in its
comprehensive grasp of all that is for
the welfare of the community, and
whose character we'll established in
its integrity, tried in many fire and
not found wanting, makes him trust.
worthy in all things, who adds to the
best gifts of personality. mind and
heart. an untiring energy, ripe ex-
perience and an indomitable courage.
When such one is called from the
scenes of this life work, the communi-
ty, state and nation has lost its most
valuable asset, noble man. Such a
man we esteemed our late comrade,
Captain James E. Simpson to be.
Therefore we who touched elbows with
him on the weary march, who saw
his courage on the field of battle, and
drank with him from the same can
teen, desire to express az we'll as feeble
words can tell it. our deep sorrow at
the loss of our late comrade. For him
taps sounded for the last time on earth
at Norfolk. Nebraska on September
%, 1904, and his soul passed joyously
to the Great Beyond in response to
the reveille. sounding on the Eternal
Shore. We, his old marching mates
of the 18th Iowa Infantry, and COM
rades of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, feel that gap has been made
in our ranks that can never be filled.
That we have lost one who was ever
loyal and troe to our order. his coun-
try and the flag. AS soldiers OF the
Republic we are marching with deci-
IN ated ranks TO the goal he has at
tained, but we stop to drop tear and
place a flower upon the grave of one
we loved so we'll, and of whom we
shall always cherish the kindliest
memories. To his family left to mourn
the loss of kind father we extend
our sympathy. Theirs has been a
double loss the dear mother having al
SO been laid to rest. May We who
are left to mourn.the death of Comrade
Simpson emulate the example of one
whose life while with us was an in
spiration and help to all. And be it
resolved by Colonel Hughes Post No.
16S. g. A. r., Department. of Iowa,
that a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this Post,
and also sent to the son and daughter
of our late comrade, Charles Upper

Mae Simpson Wheadon of South

In one OF our magazines there has
been going on discussion as to which
class of brain workers receives the
largest monetary compensation for its
labor, and it has been clearly demon
strated that the lawyer is the man.
The discussion brought out some in
teresting facts in regard to the fees
paid to several eminent Lawyers. VIM.
d. Guthrie received q million dollars
for breaking the will of Henry B.
Plant; James B. Dill was paid a mil
lion dollars for settling the business
dispute between Andrew Carnegie and
Henry Frick. William Nelson Crom-
we'll is to receive two million dollars
for selling the rights of the Panama
company to the United States. Fran
CHS Lynde Stetson IS paid an annual
retainer of fifty thousand dollars by
j. Pierpont Morgan. These sums seem
to be exorbitant, and yet when you
come to consider the value of the pro-
perty in litigation it is easy to under
stand the profitable service such men
give to their clients. 1t is an interest
ing fact that in 1890 there was one
lawyer co every 69S inhabitants of our
country.
