The democratic members of the
library board of Council Bluffs refus.
ed to admit into the city library there
the book of Jacob Riis, entitled
Theodore Roosevelt the Citizen. ~
Mr.. Riis is Dane and an able writer
and lecturer. When he heard the
democrats had turned down his book
in the Council Bluffs library he wrote
letter to the Danish Folktidende,
a local Danish paper at the Bluffs, In
which he said in part:
New York, Oct. l7.-Will you
kindly give my regards to the demo
Gratis on your library board who,
learn from the newspapers, threw out
my book. on Roosevelt, for fear il
would help elect Roosevelt. No help
is needed to do do that but IL any
were needed, they have given him,
and incidentally the book very able
lift.
"All through the east Roosevelt s
friends are laughing at them and the
Parker champions are grinding their
teeth. 1t was only yesterday that Mr..
Bryan administered his left handler to
the ticket in Nebraska, and here
comes your library board in the same
business.
Tell them that | wish heartily for
more power to their elbows:' | pre-
sumo it must be with the elbows they
pick out books for their library unless
they do it with their hoofs. Most truly
yours, ~. A. Riis."

Cause Of LockIaw. .

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be destroy
ed and all danger of lockjaw avoided
by applying Chamberlain Pain
Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antisep-
tic and causes such injuries to heal
without maturation and in one-third
the time required by the usual treat
ment. 1t is for sale by A. HI. Roberts.

John Sharp Williams, of Mississ-
ippi, is to make at least one speech
in the Second district for Judge Wade.
Williams is the democratic leader OF
the house. The more he speaks in
Iowa the bigger will our republican
majority grow. Mississippi states
manship is not popular here. Will
liams only received l,433 votes for
congress two years ago and there
were no votes cast in opposition
Audubon county republicans cast
more votes than that at that election.
This congressional district cast
35, 24O votes that year, or about
twenty four times as many as was cast
in Williams district There were about
twice as many votes cast in this dis
trict two years ago as were cast in
all the eight districts of Mississippi
put together. Elections down there
are farce and libel on free govern
ment, yet Williams will be sent into
Iowa to persuade Iowans to support
the party of which he is the leader in

Stranger Took Them In.

F. w. Ridgeway, farmer living
near Extra, was in this city today
Saturday looking for sleek fakir
who sold him q pair of glasses for
seven dollars short time ago. The
stranger said that he had conducted a
jewelry store on Walnut street in
Atlantic for ten years, and If the
glasses did not prove satisfactory the
purchaser could come to Atlantic any
time and everything would be made
right. Mr.. Ridgeway did not find the
glasses satisfactory and came to town
to get them re-adjusted. He found
that there was not, nor never had been
a jeweler on Walnut street, and that
his seven dollar glasses we're not
worth thirty cents. The fakir did a
good business in the neighborhood of
Extra, and all that his victims have
for their money is some valuable
experience.

1t is conceded fact that both our
army and navy have been increased
within the last few years. 1t is like
wise true that the people of the United
States are doing much more business
and therefore sending much more mail
and they are also writing many. more
letters of congratulation than during
Mr.. Cleveland's administration. In
addition, free delivery has been estab-
lished in many cities, and rural free
delivery has been inaugurated over a
considerable portion of every state.
Let those who would reduce our army
and navy to their size and condition,
and those who would abolish the free
delivery in the towns where it has been
established and rural free delivery alto
gether, accept the figures given by
Judge Parker, but those who do not
wish this can find the real test of econ
omy in comparing the expenditures
other than those of the army, the
A"Ny ohN Vic pooIOllCS. eliminating
these three items from consideration,
the annual expense of administration
during Mr.. CleVeland's last term av-
eraged 1918 per capita, but during
the last four years this has been re-
duced to $3.50 per capita. Dur
ing Mr.. Cleveland's administration il
cost II cents per capita in excess OF
postal receipts to conduct the busi-
ness OF that department, but during
the last four years it has cost less
than 81 cents in excess of the postal
receipts, notwithstanding the improv-
ed service and the inauguration OF
27,OOO rural free delivery routes, TAX
ing mail to $3.50, 900 families. \
Economy is a good thing to preach,
and 1T is a better thing to practice,
but economy and craftsmanship are
not synonymous terms. The issue
ought never to be who spends the
most money, but who has the most to
show for the money spent.

York, October II, 1904.

The Advocate on National and State
Economy.

Why Is it that the expense connected with
the running Of public affairs has 80 enormously y
confined to the county. nor does it stop with
the state but 10 even more noticeable In the
| expenses of the national government A few
years ago, or under Cleyeland's administration
| IL took about $3.50 900 per year to run the
government, while now it has reached the i'm
mense sum Of $3.50, 900 900 per year. Some will
| say that the expense Of the canal is the cause,
but take the total cost to date from the
amount and it Ia still about twice what 1t was
| Il few years ago. BY looking upon the backs Of
your tax receipts you will ind that the part
that goes to the state is very noticeably in
creased in the past few years. You all know
| that your county tax has Increased. Can any
thing short OF extravagance in the conduction
of public affairs bring about this great changes
Advocate.
These statements would be impor-
of Parker's speech "It would be diff
cult for anybody to crowd so many
| falsehoods into so small space"
If the editor of the Advocate will
examine the statistical abstract of the
United States he will find that instead
of $3.50, 900, 900 a year the expenses of
the government each year during the
Cleveland administration were from
$433, ,000, 900 in round numbers to $780,
000, 900 per annum. We do not have
the authorities at hand to ascertain
what it is costing now to run the gov
ernment, but admitting it is costing
now what the Advocate says it is,
$3.50, 600, 900, the difference is compare
lively small. The people are getting
enough more out of this administra-
ton to be willing to have 1t cost more.
There are increased naval expendi-
lures, there are rural routes all over
the country, free delivery is extended
in the cities, more public buildings
are being erected and infinitely more
is being done than under the Cleve-
land administration. AS Secretary
Shaw says 1.-THE issue ought never to
be who spends the least money, but
rather who has the most to show for
money spent" Besides, Cleveland
added some $270, 900, 600 to the public
debt and that in time of peace. The
comparison the Advocate makes is
surely unfortunate.
Concerning the state tax, the state
levy has not been increased the past
few years, but has remained at three
mills. To be sure this is raising more
money than it used to, but the state is
doing more in many ways. 1t is es-
pecially spending more money on its
educational, charitable and penal in
stitutions than ever before. Does the
Advocate obi ject to this?

Four years ago we were willing to
forego the election printing in the off
year for the sake of the saving to the
state and county and for the tran
quillity II would give US every other
year, the relief from unneces-
sary turmoil and strife. Two thirds
of the states have adopted the bi-
ennial plan. BY having the election
only once in two years the election
thus becomes SO important that the
citizens do not want to miss it. In
1900 over so per cent of the voters of
Iowa availed themselves of the privi-
lege of voting while the next year
only 66 per cent OF them voted, show
Ing the lack of interest there Is in the
of years. Those who love legitimate
business better than constant political
strife, those who desire economy in
public business rather than unneces-
sary expenses ought, in our opinion,
to vote for the biennial amendment.

others to restrain the proposed pro

The decision does not dispose of the
main points at issue in the case, which
were whether Hartman and Pierce
should have returned to them the stock
of the Northern Pacific company which
thee put into the Northern Securities
company, or whether they should have
distributed to them stock of both the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
companies on the pro rata provided by

it was absolutely positive the COM

"Kuropatkin, with his army of 10000

wildered by the Japanese movements,
which are swift and unexpected. TIL
Russian general had deliberately planned
to light a great battle at Tatchekiao to-
day. but to his surprise the affair DID not
come off. The Japanese made a feint
against Tai-ping-shnn and the Muscovite
leader finally discovered that the enemy,
instead Of giving battle, had marched
eastward across his front and taken up
a position on some hills to the east of.
Tatchekiao.

rection of Lao Yang the Japanese forces
are moving In three bodies. while a large
fresh reinforcement Is advancing toward
Tatchckiao from below Kiaping. The
Russians remais in their positions. dazed
and puzzled to know what all this means.
The fact that the Japanese have made no
attempt to occupy this city seems to mys-
tify them still more. Only at few Russian
troops are here now.

way. situated as he is, for not only has
