cries from paying the 500 license on
branch agencies. They claim to have
control of the Senate, and the reve-
nue. bill may pass in that form. But
in that case 1t is certain that the
House will slap the license on again.
That would mean a conference com
mittee and disagreement, which in
itself would be favorable to the liquor
interests, for no license law will be
passed
We couldn't expect much else of
Charley Powell, but 1t seems to us
that Emmett Showalter ought to be
found in better company. He lisa
United States official, and president
of the Fairmont Board of Education.
By reason Of the first named position
he ought not to be lobbying for any
corporation at Charleston, and his po
sition at the head of the city schools
ought TO keep. him from intimacy
with the brewery interests.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1905-09-20

casual observer might think business
conditions in Denison were bad, judging
from the numerous closing out sales and
business changes. The truth is that bust
ness has never been better in Denison.
The sales of nearly every business house
in the city show an increase this year
over any other. The business of Deni-
son is in transition period than is all.
In few years at most both Main street
and Broadway will be built up with sub
stantial brick buildings and these build
ings will be occupied by prosperous bust
ness houses carrying large stocks and
drawing trade from large territory.
While other towns have fluctuated in
postal receipts and in volume of business,
Denison has never known back set,
each year has been better than the
last. A working man complains that
Denison is not giving enough employment
to labor. The right kind of labor has
seen few idle days this summer. There
has been more than the average amount
of building the past year. Much work
has been done on the streets. The sewer
work is employing many and in fact it is
very difficult to find men for any odd job.
We hunted all over town last week before
we could find man who was out of job
and wanted work. Some had valid excuse
but the majority had not. Some even
acted as though insulted when offered a
job at twenty cents an hour. Under such
conditions we do not think the criticism
against Denison's business men is justified.

Iowa bids fair to have public hanging
or two next spring. This event will pro.
badly force to the fore the question of
whether or not death should be inflicted
by the state for any misdeed whatever.
There are conflicting views on this question
even among the profound students of
social problems. 1t is difficult to recon
Gle deliberate murder with any good
qualities and society is certainly bene-
fitted by the absence of such people. AS
to whether their removal is justified. even
by the solemn process of legal execution,
may be open to question. 1t is maintained
by some that crime is evidence of menta
disease, and that the murderer is entitled
to the care and protection other mentally
irresponsible persons receive.

until late at night1but nenher fed or
watered his team, nor gave his little boy

was crying with hunger and WEAKNESS,
but it took the nightwatch to send the
man home although he pleaded to be al.

THE MCCALL CONTRIBUTION

All the democratic guns, big and little
from the dismantled Parker to the in
termed Bryan will now go booming away
because it appears that Pres. Mccall,
himself life long democrat. contributed
out of the funds of the insurance company
to the republican national campaign fund.
We do not defend the act of Pres. Nc
Call in contributing the funds of the
policy-holders unless he was empowered
to make such expenditures. We do
know however that thousands Of business
men saw the great danger to the business
interests of the country if either Bryan or
Parker had been elected. These, mew
gave not only money but time and
-eaee tewafa the efecttt she ref "
nominees. Mr.. Mccall was in chafe +. I
millions of dollars belonging to thousands
OF policy-holders. He would have been
recreant to his trust had he not done all
in his power to prevent free silver or free
trade from bringing panic to the country
and cutting the assets of the policy hold
ers IN two. Perhaps Mr.. Mccall had no
legal right to donate other peoples
money for political purposes, but he
must at least be given credit for his
sagacity in knowing, although democrat,
that the election of Bryan, for instance,
meant panic and ruin for US all. If the
$500 helped save the day and deliver
ed the nation from 'unsafe and insane
democracy, the entire American people
owe Mr.. Mccall debt of gratitude.
Further than this there is no proof that
the money was used for Legitimate pur-
poses and certainly no one can charge
that either the Mckinley or Roosevelt
administrations have shown any special
favors to the insurance companies.

We understand there is now serious
effort on foot to unite Arion and Dow

serious competition for the other towns of
county and many economies could be
effected in the schools town government

there is but one hitch in the consolidation
plans and that is whether the new town
should be located in Arion or Dow City.
