The Appeal.

Our appeal is mace TO all good citi.
zens who hold the honor and the in
terests of the nation close to their
hearts. The great issues which are
at stake, and upon which | have
touched, are more tlan mere partisan
issues, for they involve much that
comes home to the individual pride
and individual wel-being of our peo-
pie. Under conditions as they actu.
ally are, good Americans should re-
fuse, for the sake of the welfare of
the nation, to change the national pol.
Icy. We. who are responsible for the
administration and legislation under
which this country, during the last
seven years. has grown SO greatly in
well being at hone and in honorable
repute among the nations of the earth
abroad. do not stand ineTtly upon this
record, do not use this record as an
excuse for failure of effort To meet
new conditions. On the contrary, We
treat the record Of what we have done
in the past as Incl ement to do even
better in the future We believe that
the progress thai we have made may
be taken as a measure of the progress
We shall continue To make IL the peo-
pie again intrust the government of
the nation to our hands. We do not
stand still. We press steadily for
ward toward the goal Of moral and
material well being !or our own peo-
pie, of just and fearless dealing to-
ward all other peoples, in the interest
not merely of this country, but of man
kind. There is not a policy. foreign
or domestic, which we are now car
rying out, which it would not be dis
astrous to reverse or abandon. Ii our
opponents should come in and should
not reverse our p)licIes, then they
would be branded with the brand of
broken faith, of false promise, of in.
sincerity in word and deed: and no

should come in and reverse any or all

Expense Of Government.


Expense Of Government.
The expenditures of the nation have
been managed in a spirit of economy
as far removed from waste as from
niggardliness; and In the future every
effort will be continued TO secure an
economy as strict as Is consistent
with efficiency. Once more our OPP
ponents have promised what they can
not or should not perform. The prime
reason why the expenses of the gov
eminent have increased of recent
years is to be found In the fact that
the people, after mature thought, have
deemed il wise to have certain new
forms of work for the public under
taken by the public. This necessitat-
es such expenditures, for instance, as
those for rural free delivery, or for
the inspection of meats under the de-
partment of agriculture, or for irriga.
ton. But these new expenditures are
necessary: no one would seriously
propose to abandon them; and yet
II is idle TO declaim against the in
creased expense of the government
unless II is intended to cut down the
very expenditures which cause the in
crease. The pensions TO the veterans
of the civil war are demanded by ey-
cry sentiment of regard and graft
tude. The rural free delivery is OF
the greatest use and convenience 10

under conditions which make them or

T.. w. Smithson, a former resident

called The Morning Light of the Nine

one issue of that paper about two
years ago, is at present editor of the
labor paper in Des Moines called the

Gently awarded to it by the supervi-
sors of Polk county. Concerning the
contest for the county printing which
is on among three of the weekly pa
pers, one of the Des Moines dailies has
the following:
company today the claim is made
that the subscription list of the Iowa
Unionist is not bona fide for num-
Der of reasons. The first objection set
out is that the paper is not a news
paper under the contemplation of the
statute inasmuch as it is an organ
published solely for the benefit and
protection of trades unions of the city
and is not read or subscribed for by
the general public. In the second
place it is urged that the Unionist is
not a newspaper as contemplated by
the law because it has no circulation
to any extent outside Of the city of
Des Moines. Further it is commended
that the paper contains substantially
no news of general interest but is en-
tirely made up of matter purely of
interest to trades unions and men be-
longing to these organizations. Still
another claim is that the subscribers
to the paper are only those who are
members of the trades unions and
that the subscription lists are not
made up individually and in good faith
but are padded and fraudulent for sew
eral reasons"
