Lilloolet and Hawkeye Gold Mine COM
panies at Iowa Falls Mrs Aiaude Hmm
ilton, the stenographer, showed by the
books that practically all of the prom
incnt stockholders had managed to es-
cape the crash. For the most part
the stock was owned by politicians
and ofiiceholders, having been pro-
NOTED by eX-officehOlders.
President Hancock, of the LilloOlet,
was chairman Of the Republican state
committee two terms and George l..
Dobson, Of this city, the chief pro-
moter, was secretary of state for two
terms. Ex-Governor Frank d. jack
son was one of the largest stockhold-
ers. Dobson and most of his political
friends apparently anticipated the col
lapse, according to Mrs. Hamilton, and
closed out their own heavy holdings
when prices were ten times higher
than present quotations.

tween life and DEATH and is unaware

Our County Ticket.

Whether it is owing to the pri-
mary system of selecting candidates
for county offices in this county or
because the democratic party is
largely in the minority, it is we'll
known fact that for several years
last past the persons placed in nomi-
nation for those Offices by the demo-
Gratis have as rule, been more
competent to perform the duties of
the offices for which they were nomi-
mated than the republican nominees.
To our minds the reason is plain.
The republican party is in the
majority in this county and the re-
publican aspirants for office regard
a nomination as equivalent to an
election and under the primary
system, an incompetent man, if he
is endowed with cheek, stands just
as good a chance of securing nomi-
nation as his competent competitor,
and therefore the man seeks the
Office not the Office the man. Under
that system if there are more than
two candidates for the same office,
it frequently happens that the one
who secures the nomination is far
from being the choice Of the ma
jority Of those who vote at the
primaries. AS an illustration we
refer to the last republican primary
election for clerk Of the district
court. There were three candidates
for that office, James Bishop, e. B.
Hess and Frank Clark. For these
candidates there were l474 votes cast
of which Mr.. Bishop, the successful
candidate received only 53S and
though the choice of only a triAe
over one third of the voters he
secured the nomination.
This is not an exceptional case.
At the same primary election there
were three candidates for supervisor
(full term), +. M. Burbridge, j. U.
Rector and L. G.. Clute. The full
vote cast for them was l412 of which
Burbridge received 534, Rector 53l
and Clute BAT. Though 534 votes
this vicere cast for Burbridge and
lome. inst him, he was given the
Frank lion.
3 her mn under the primary system
ndidate who could not secure a
M5ority Of the votes in the town
nip in which lie lives, because Of
his known unfitness for the office
might easily secure the nomination

Many republican statesmen and

Many republican statesmen and

ance Of the present enormous expen-
ditures for naval purposes, and yet
they favor or pretend to favor the
reelection of President Roosevelt.
If Roosevelt is reelected this coun-
try will have use for just as large a
navy as it can build. Thepresident
has not alone proclaimed his over
lordship of the Western Hemisphere,
but insists upon mixing in all the
petty disputes of the old world. He
will not be able to continue that
kind of policy for four more years
without serious danger of wa-, I'M

make it dangerous for any two or
three European powers to attacksus

"stand Pat" Tariff Men.

To stand pat is not alone mulish
characteristic, but it is a feature
common to all beasts and birds. 1t
is the antithesis Of reason and the
leading attribute Of instinct. AS a
rule the Stand patters" among men
are opposed to progression and have
no right to claim a place among
constructive statesmen. If the stand
patters" are permitted to dominate
the republican party and shape its
tariff policy, it is only a question
of time and short one too when
they will bring overwhelming de-
feat to that organization.

DIR. VIM. T. Harris, the United
States Commissioner Of Education
has made certain investigations
which establish the following facts:
That a boy with only common
school education has in round num-
bers, one chance in 5000. That a
high school training increases this
chance nearly % times. That col
lege education added gives the
young man about ten times the
chance Of a high school boy and two
hundred times the chance of the
boy whose training stopped with the
common school.
School Savings banks are being

results. 1t was first introduced in
the United States at Long Island
city in 1885. The success Of the
school savings method ard the bene
fit Of the system are testified to by
many educators who have noted its
effects. The Commissioner of
