SHORT ORDER NEWS SERVICE.

According to the press reports the
Union Pacific railway is about to in
augurate a news bulletin service to
passengers on one of it's thru trains
west of Omaha Events of interest
occurring over the world will be posted
in the observation cars and passeng-
ers apprised Of the preparations for
another assault on Port Arthur, the
for a killing frost, while they ride.
The service is intended to fill the in
terreguln of prompt news and daily
pa pers which obtains from Omaha
west to Denver. 1t is a good thing
and should draw custom.
But the news should be, as doubtless
it will be, carefully edited. There is
little comfort to be drawn from bull
letin posted on No. 3 giving CHASTITY de-
tails of the wreck Of No. 5, and list
of dead and wounded. The reporters
for the Overland special are likely to
meet the same difficulties in acquiring
accurate information on railway wrecks
and railroad matters that other re-
porters meet. 1t is probable that the
railroad editor will be more friendly
to the blue pencil than the typewriter
in matters particularly pertaining to
accidents on his own line.
AS an advertising scheme the bull
letin plan is likely to bear fruit for the
railway originating it. If continued, it
will add another comfort to railroad
travel. But isn't it hitting up the pace
pretty hard when we refuse to wait
for news as long as we are willing to
wait for meals, and insist on getting
news sandwiches as we buy 'sinkers"
at lunch counter?

gubernatorial contest and to what eX-
tent the governorship will affect the
presidential vote is matter upon
which the election sharps are in dis
agreement. 4 writer in Il widely cir
culated and politically independent New
York periodical, sizes up the situation
thus:
Many of the political leaders of the
republican and democratic parties are
inclined to believe that the approach
ing election in New York state is to
resemble the contest in 1888. In their
confidential moods some of the demo-
cratic campaieners do not express eX-
allied hopes of carrying the state for
Parker but they seem to believe that
their candidate for governor is to be
elected The republican campaigners
on the other hand, or at least some of
them, are at times inclined to agree
with their democratic brethren in their
estimate of the situation in the En-
pire state. While these republican
chieftians are utterly confident that
Roosevelt is to carry the state they are
not at all sanguine that the repub-
elected. 1t will be noted from this that
the result of the campaign in the state
this year is expected to resemble that
of 1885, This conclusion, however,
should be accepted as but a prophecy
made by some of these eminent nation
al campaigners two months before
election day. 1t should also be made
very plain that some expert politicians
in the two camps do not accept this
prophecy
'In 1888 the total vote of the state
was 1,324,510, whereas it is expected
on November s that the total vote of
the state will be 100000. For the
first time since 1892 the populist party
has a presidential candidate. Thomas
E. Watson, and it should be recalled
that in 1892 Weaver, the candidate of
the populists, got in the state 1922
votes. The social labor candidate for
president in 1892 got in the state H.
956 votes; whereas, in 1900, the COM
bined vote for president of the social
labor and social democratic candidates
was 25,4s1. In 1896 the social labor
vote for it's candidate for president
was 1867, while Palmer, the candi-
date of the national democrats, had
a vote in the state amounting to 49,
$50. The prohibition vote is seldom
reckoned to be factor in the Empire
state. 1t has dwindled rather than in
creased, as will re seen by the fol-
lowing figures: In 1892, it was $3.50,
In 1S96<it was 1862. while in 1900 it
was 22,519. In arriving at anything
like a conservative estimate of the Sit
uation in the state at the moment the
strength of the republican party and
that of the democratic party must be
considered along with the views which
many have expressed concerning the
probable vote for Watson, the candi-
date of the populists, and the votes
which are to be given to the candidates
of the socialists.

THE PUPS POLITICS.

A gentleman said to me the other
day: DO you know, I fully believe
that land is $40 to $25 an acre lower
in Davis county than anywhere else
around us, and for no other reason on
earth except that for a. full genera
ton we have had a calamity kind OF
politice preached in our ears till we
have almost come to believe that we
are cheap men. We have not set
high value upon ourselves or our be-
longings because men (you know who
they are) have have told us we We're
poor, we were being robbed Cby whom
we never found out), we were the
down-tr odden Of the earth, that the
monopolies had us by the throat and
listened to this bosh and looked poor
until we were poor. Now let us pick
up our ears and raise the price of
land and vote for Roosevelt and stand
with the party that has brought us the
best conditions that ever prevailed in
any nation. Davis county is one OF
the best counties in Iowa. Our News
Republican item last week that K. T.
Hitchkiss fed and sold off his Davis
county farm in one year $4,000 worth
of cattle and hogs ought to open peo-
pies eyes. You know what the boy

Not bills of health. Not even doc

reference to Bill Mckinley, or the Nc
Kinley bill. But bank bills. The only
way we shall ever get a clean circu-
lating medium of paper money is to
keep up the agitation till our congress-
men act in the matter. Bankers favor
clean paper money. Doctors say our
present filthy paper currency is the
one great medium of carrying infect
ious disease. The public, clean men
and cleaner women, are forced every
day to handle paper money that day

Pass a law requiring all banks to re-
turn to the treasurer of the United
States all bank bills that have been in
circulation over 100 days, this return
of such bills to be entirely at the ex-
pense of the government. In replace
ing all such returned bills which
should be cancelled by stamping or
burning, the government can issue new
bills marked as reissues, and in the
case of national banks, can demand
that they go thru the same process,
sending them the old currency, stamp
ed cancelled, when they forward to the
government new bills properly signed
and marked. 1t is we'll known that
the Bank of England never pays out
the same bank note, but once On re-
ceipt by the bank it is invariably can

some additional clerical force, and also
some cost to the taxpayer but the ex-
pense of clerks, of paper and printing

to the people at large in our present
insanitary and filthy manner of using
the present disgusting, defiled and dir
ty bank bills in circulation all over

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

One of our Iowa papers makes the

speculations he was engaged in that

Of Iowa Falls, instead of occupying
felon's cell 1t reminds the writer of
a case, that once came under his per-
sonal knowledge, this many years ago.
The county had on hand funds amour
ting to nearly 100000. The county
treasurer borrowed $4,000 of it and put
it into wheat deal. The county au-
ditor Caught on" and he too invested
$4,000 of the county funds in wheat.
Then the recorder had the wheat fever
and he borrowed $4,000 to invest in
Chicago. For a while the county had
to put up margins for it's speculative
officials, so that at one time the coup-
ty stood to loose some $4,000 as none
of these officials had property enough
to make good to the county In case OF
loss. But the deal went the right
way. Each official cleaned up nice
sum for old age besides returning to

day they are honored citizens of Iowa

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

1t is the opinion Of shrewd observ-
ers Of the political situation in New
York that the democrats are in a bad
way. Hill and his friends are sore over
the evident intention Of the democracy
OF the state to relegate him to a sub
ordinate position. Murphy, leader of
Tammany and McGarren. boss Of
Kings county democrats, are at deadly
personal emnity, which is shared in
by the followers of both. Fractional
ism is rife in the party. The result of
the campaign Of this year in New
York is more contingent upon the bit
ter opposition of personal ambition
and enmities than has been the case
for years. The Bryan democrats Of
whom there are many in the state, are
ready to revenge the friendship of Mr.
Hill upon Parker, and the apparent
guidance Of Mr.. Parker by Hill and
the interests represented by Hill awak-
ems the distrust Of the more sincere
democrats. Joined to the forces Of
internal dissension and personal bit
terness is the fact that the republicans
control the state and have done so
since Levi P. Morton defeated Hill for
governor, ten years ago. The office
holders from fourth class postmasters
up, are practically all republican and
a host that must be reckoned with In
a political campaign. Ten years of
republican rule has made republicans
out of the sons Of democratic fathers
and one writer notes that these show
no symptom OF desertion to the Par
,ker standard. They like Roosevelt, as
all young men do and will vote for
him.
The situation is complicated by the

REFORM THE "MeDlcAL EXPERT"

If there is one thing more than any
other calculated to discredit the medi-
cal profession before the public, the
testimony Of so-called medical experts
In cases where such testimony is adj
missible and even necessary, would APP
pear to have attained such precedence.
The wide discrepancy between these
experts" upon points which should be
matter of the common knowledge of
competent medical men has not failed
to most unfavor;lbly impress those
whom curiosity CIR interest has led to
follow the course of more recent muir
der trials. Physicians, who by their
presence in court as experts" assume
superiority in their profession, arrive
under oath to 6iametrically opposite
conclusions on points upon which they
would agree at an ordinary autopsy,
but upon which, in these particular
cases the reputation, liberty, and even
the life Of the accused person are in
volved.
The public has become Disguised
with the average medical expert. Not
only Disguised, but afraid of him. The
conclusion that he holds brief for the
side that pays him and juggles with
Justice for price, is irresistible. The
original intent Of such testimony was
to assist juries to just conclusions. Its
present purpose is obviously to con-
fuse. Honest exposition by learned
men is often a necessary part of a just
inquiry. The trick testimony of an
"expert'' paid to make a case pro or con
is a patent danger to society in gen
profession in particular.
1t has come to the pass that the
assertions of medical experts are given
precisely such credence as the argu-
ments of the attorneys engaged in the
case--and no more. An excellent law
yer told the T.-R. recently that as a
would in no wise affect his vote on a
verdict In other words at least one
Of the mn who hire such testimony
would not believe it under oath. The
public has grown to be much OF the
lawyers opinion.
There is need of reform in this par
ticular. Men with the advantage OF
special training should not be per-
mitted to swear men in or out of the
penitentiaries for a fee. The practice
strikes at the root Of Justice and the
impeccability of courts. 1t is a crying
evil and calls for immediate remedy.
The medical expert might be selected
by the state from its army of compe-
tent specialists for his capacity, and
integrity, and his fee fixed by the law
and not dependent upon the needs or
generosity of private parties. He
should be kept outside the partisanship
of the case and medical expert testi-
mony be made respectable instead of
