THE ELECTION AMENDMENT.

We are surprised that the advocates
OF the biennial elections proposition are
not able to get up some other argu-
ment in favor of their side of the ques-
ton than the saving of expenses. This
is a very small argument if honestly
presented. The additional expense in
volved in an election when all of the
, officials are on one ticket will be so
great as to make practically no differ
ence over the present system. But
really there is no reason why this ex-
pense account should be considered,
for if that is all there is to the matter
then we might devise a plan by which
nearly all expenses can be eliminated.
But there is something higher and
worthy of sincere consideration, and
that is the real interest of the people
as involved in the purity of the county
and state administration as separated
from the national administration. This
should be the controlling feature in the
consideration of this question, but, of
course, this is exactly what the politi-
cal grafters do not want.-C larinda

INDIANA.

The leading Independent Republican
paper of Indiana is the indianapolis
News. That the Republican claims of
carrying that State by large plurality
have no substantial basis is shown by
che fact that the News last week pub
lished the following statement over the
signature of it's special political CORES
pondent:
There is a general feeling of indiffer-
ence all over Indiana. No one is dis
cussing politics and no one seems to
care anything about it. 1t is this indif-
ference that makes it impossible to give
any idea of what the result in this State
will be in November. About as much
dissention exists in the republican
party as in the democratic party. The
difference is that it is going to be a
great deal harder to line UP the repub-
aicans for their ticket than it is to get
the democrats backs.
Chairman Taggart is convinced that
the democrats have better than an even
chance to capture the Hoosier State.
The democratic party is well organized,
the gold democrats are back in the
ranks and the friends of Mr.. Bryan are
taking hold with will. The prelimi-
nary polls are satisfactory to the lead
ers. 1t is announced that Mr.. Bryan
will make a number of speeches in
Indiana in the latter part of this month.
Several other democratic orators of ma
tional reputation are preparing to make
there whirlwind campaign. The g. O..
p. if it carries the state at all, will UNI
cues tionably have the fight Of it's life.

JUDGE PARKER WILL WIN.

In speech made before Tammany
Hall in New York recently Representa-
tive VIM. Sulzer said in part. Judge
Parker will win. In my opinion we will
easily carry the state of New York.
Everywhere 1 go I find public senti-
ment in favor of the brilliant New York
jurist. He is popular with all classes
of people, and have no doubt he will
be the next president. The democrats
are united and enthusiastic this year.
They are alive to the task before the m
to wrest control of the country from
the republicans, and are working with
vim, confidence and determination of a
sweeping democratic victory.
''The Empire State is safe for democ-
racy, and we will carry all the other
doubtful states. The people know
Judge Parker is an honest, an upright,
an able and fearless man, great jur-
island democrat through and
through. The more the people know
about Judge Parker the more they like
him. He is growing stronger with til e
voters every day,"

BONNET RIGHT ON TRANSPORTATION
Is Not Afraid to Tell the People Where He Stands on the Para
mount Question In the Eighth District.

weak and paerile body, the shame of
business interests, the laughing stock of
shrewd corporation lawyers and con-
gressmen. am unequivocally in favor
OF charging the powers of the commits
sion to the point where it will have
authority to check and correct all ex-
listing abuses, and stand forth as the
dignitied protector of an outraged
public. In my judgment the transporta-
tion question is the paramount issue in
the Eighth District. Congressman Hep
burn cannot dodge his own bad record
on this question. Today rates are fully
one-half higher than they should be and
the congressman favor their remaining
at the top notch. What is freight
rate? In the language of one who has
studied the question, a freight rate is a
tax on everything which enters into life
and commerce Of the country. To quote
an authority on the subject, "When the
railroads have become so great and i'm
portant part of the very life of every
industry, that they collect in gross
earnings, as was done for the year end
ing June 30, 1908, the enormous sum of
81 $50, 150,679, and that the rates of
freight and passenger fares levied upon
the country's commerce are so levied at
the will of those who reap the harvest
without restriction by law, it should
challenge the attention Of all thought
full citizens. No patriotic man who
looks to the welfare of the nation can
seriously contend that this vast and
constantly increasing power should go
unrestrained."
Here then is the situation in nut
shell. 1t is very clear to me that the
interests of home and country can best
be subseryed by the enactment and en-
forcement OF laws tending to economy
and wise expenditure of the pecun-
larry means of the people. Money wrung
from the people through extortionate
freight rates is waste of their pecun-
larry means and is as surely tax as any
other form of taxation ever devised.
The ordinary tax collector is restrain
ed by law, the traffic manager loots
everybody without fear and without
legal limitations.
Given freedom from extortion, a fair
share of this worlds goods in the hands
of each individual and you have patriot
ism and love of home and country.
A proper adjustment of rates will do
more good for the people of the Eighth
District than all other causes combined.
The prosperity and growth of our rail
roads are essential to the country's well
fare, but the shipper has rights that
must be protected, even though it be
necessary to invoke the power of the
federal government. JOHN V. BoNNETT.

The arbitrary tactics adopted by the
little clique of politicians who are
styled the Leon ring has disguised
shany Of the good republicans in this
county. Last year they administered a
severe rebuke to the ring in the hope
they would take warning and open their
eyes, but the lesson seems to have been
wasted, and the chances are that the
voters who are opposed to the rings
methods will repeat the dose again this
fall.

We have heard many good republican
farmers asking why Col. Pete Hepburn
does not answer the open letter ad-
dressed to him by Henry Wallace on the
question of freight rates OH cattle, hogs
and dressed beef. Pete knows too well
that he cannot make satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION and is simply ignoring the
letter.

The democratic county ticket this
year is an exceptionally strong one,
every candidate being a man who is
worthy of the votes of the people, and
the indications are that the people of
Decatur county who are tired of the
rings dictation, will elect the entire
democratic county ticket.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-13

tits said that the Leon ring will use
all of their efforts this year to elect
their candidates for auditor and
clerk and leave the other candidates to
shift for themselves. That is what was
done last year when the campaign funds
were spent in the interest of Stookey
and Brown.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-13

Even the Leon Journal, which usually
PUSHES to the defense of Col. Pete Hep
burn whenever anyone says anything
against him, has maintained absolute
silence on his attitude against the bill
which gives the farmers and stock ship
pers the same freight rates that are ac-
corded the "beef trust.

Election day will soon be here and
the prospects for the election of the
entire democratic ticket are very bright.
Let no democrat in Decatur county fail
to go to the polls this year, for if the
democratic vote is gotten out it means
the success of our county ticket.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1904-10-13

A comparison of the candidates on the
two county tickets cannot but impress
fair minded person that the demo-
cratic candidates are the best men for
the Offices. They are good clean men,
and not the subservient tools of a little
clique of Leon politicians.

DO ELECTIONS SETTLE ANYTHING?

1t has been the belief of the
American people that they do,
that an appeal to the people is
an appeal to the highest court,
whose decisions are final: but
though no other one can reverse
the decisions of this court, it can
reconsider, and those who are
defeated never seem to be will
ing to admit that the court is
against them till their claim has
been rejected twice.
-Four years ago the question of
the policy to be pursued in the
Philippines WAS fresh. 1t came
before the people of the country
as the most direct and important
issue, and the decision was the
most emphatic ever given. The
course of President Mckinley
was fully sustained in every par
ticular. Everything that could
have been said against it was
said; every objection had full
consideration, and the command
of the whole American people
was to go ahead. -Four years Of
that policy has demonstrated its
wisdom, its benefcence and its
success. Insurrection, then in
progress, has been subdued, dis
satisfaction has been quoted, a
people torn by dissensions and
conflicts is enjoying the quiet of
peace and contentmGnt, business
has revived. education is in high
progress, freedom and develop
ment and prosperity are being
enjoyed as never before in the
history OF the islands.
Yet it is at such time prior TO
the election on the S5h inst that
the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency ranges himself
among those who would destroy
all the relationships, withdraw
protection from those who have
been loyal to our flag and our
interests, repudiate obligations
to those who have begun the
great work of constructing i'm
provements and developing the
resources of the island. There
was more important duty before
the people than to reaffirm the
decision of 1900, and establish
beyond any furthur question the
fact that the American Cover
ment is in the Philippines to
stay, that its purpose is to fit
their people for the responsible
ties and the duties Of citizenship
and for equal participations in
all the blessing in American
freedom, but neither to abandon
them nor to entangle itself in
any promises that may obstruct
the adoption of the best and
wisest policy that will commend
itself to the future. If there
were no other reason for voting
the Republican ticket, the
demands Of national honor in the
Philippines made il necessary TO

THE PRESIDENT.

| mas hdd exceptional oppOrtunl-
ties during many years of OBJ
serving the President at close
range, gives a personal estimate
of Theodore Roosevelt. In re-
view of this article the Oaklank,
California, Tribune says:
1t is a calm but wholly favor
able view of a man who has lived
and wrought continually in the
limelight, but whose character is
still a matter of grave dispute;
he presents different aspect to
different people, and:his apper-
ane varies according to the point
of view. DR.. Abbott does not
indulge in silly twaddle with
which Jacob Riis has besmeared
the president, and, of course, is
incapable of the high flown
rhodomontade that distinguishes
Afford Henry Lewis from other
writer's, as a red necktie shines
at funeral, but he presents
straightforward picture, drawn
in sympathetic but not warm col
orS, of real man. 1t is not a
critical essay designed for politi-
cal effect as is the sketch of Sen
ator Lodge, but is hearty,
honest Judgment of a public
officer with whom DR.. Abbott has
been much thrown and whose
character he sincerely admires.
| DR.. Abbott says the President is
not impulsiye. In this particular,
| he runs counter to the almost
universal conception of the man ::
friends and enemies generally
unite in regarding him as impul-
| Sive. The editor of the Outlook
contradicts popular impression
fatty, saying the President never
acts befofs thinking. That is
what Secretary John Hay says.
What people take for impulsive-
ness of action, says DR.. Abbott,
is vigorous action following
swiftly on rapid thought The
President thinks quickly, moves
promptly and acts vigorously
This celebrity has the appearance
of impulse, whereas action al
ways follows thoughtful conclu-
sion. That the President is not
deliberate in the sense that his
mental processes are not slow
nor his activities leisurely, Dr..
Abbott frankly admits, but for
all that he estimates Mr.. Roos y
welt to be Il singularly clear,
rational and logical thinker, who
is never rash and never yields to
mere impulse. His mind moves
from premise to conclusion swift
| IS and directly, and then the ac
| ton follows in the same quick
order as the powder eXplodes
when the match reaches it. Once
| the President has made up his
mind, there is neither doubt non
hesitation, no prOcrastinatiOn &c
faltering of purpose or revolving
over the question OF cXpediency
On the whole, this estimate OF
President Roosevelt is the most
satisfactory and convincing We
have seen put forth; not even
Secretary Hay has given us such
keen insight into the workings
of one Of the most alert and ac-
tive minds of his age. 1t is eX-
planatory in the highest degree,
for it reconciles opposing esti-
mates and harmonizes with all
the President 5 known acts and
utterances. DR.. Abbott says
| Mr.. Roosevelt wears his mind on
his sleeve; he has no con cal
ments; tells everybody what he
thinks and does precisely what
| his Judgment and his conscience
assure him is right. 1t is IL thor
oughly sound, whole hearted

THE WENNERBERG CONCERT

ing: The Grieg chorus was given an
1nd1Herent rendering and. the ATTEMPT
to sing the ,s'Halleluiah .Chorus'' was,
to say the least, unfortunate. A lack
OF careful training and close attention
was painfully manifest at times, and
this. was especially true in the Handel
chorus. The voices were young and
fresh, but the individual voices were
not subordinated to the general result.

the work of the entire chorus.
