THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Denison Commercial Club is
now a little more than year old. 1t
has had fairly successful existence.
1t is out of debt, it's membership has
increased, it has afforded reputable
place of amusement to many who might
otherwise have been tempted to seek
recreation in places where the moral
surroundings are not so good; it has
brought business men closer together
and has established new friendships
and strengthened old ones. With all
this, however, the club has not lived
| up to its highest possibilities. 1t has
played with questions rather than
studied them; it has done less than it
should toward promoting the general
welfare.
1t is not our belief that to be OF
real value the club should indulge in
continued rainbow chasing. There
are many commonplace reforms to be
discussed and made; there are many
minor matters that might we'll receive
more serious attention than has been
given them. There is no cause fol
Encouragement, however, as the club
is but in its infancy. Rather let each
member determine that he will devote
more attention to the serious objects
of the club and that if called upon he
will give to the affairs of the city the
same energy and interest that he would
give to his private business. Witt
such determination on the part of al
the members there is very little tina
the club cannot accomplish.

We predict that within the next
twenty-five years, the owners Of land
in the corn belt will be envied as
kings of the realm. They will be the
lords of the country and form a dis
tinctive class of their own. While
those who have stood idly by and seen
all the lands slip away from them will
be found lamenting and crashing their
teeth. Myriads of people are now
waking up to the fact that after all a
farm home oftheir own furnishes the
best basis of security for a livelyihood,
Many in this region have seen the
prices in land rise from S.. an acre tc
SOS. without an effort to, secure por-
ton of it for themselves. Others
have long since parted with what they
had for song, and now they find they
cannot get landed foot hold again.
They realize as never before that they
must if possible become the owner OF
a tract if not for themselves at least
for the rising members of their fam
lilies. -Algona Advance.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

The keynote of Christmas is love.
Easter tells of sacrifice, the feast of
the Ascension speaks of glory, but
Christmas bears upon it's wings moth
ing but love. Without love Christ
mas is nothing it becomes CONNER
cialized vulgarized exchange of COM
modities, miscalled gifts. Do not
give a present to any person unless
your heart prompts the act.
Ifssyou have the right kind of heart
it prompts you to make all the gifts

1t is betrayal of the Christmas spir-
it that makes the happy Holiday sea

The milk and water man is a pitt
able object. If he has any opinion,
which is seldom he is afraid to ex-
press it and if he is concerned and
compelled to express himself, will in
variably hedge, and dodge, and try to
straddle the question. Such men
think they succeed in business by be-
ing smooth enough to straddle every
question that comes along, but they
only hold themselves up to the con-
tempt of all their colleagues who have
opinions of their own and are not
afraid to express them. Like the
backbiter and the hypocrite, the milk
and water man is a hard man to To-
cate, and nine times out of ten he is
much more to be trusted when you
have your eyes on him than when your
back is turned. Don't be milk and
water man; be an openfaced, honest
opinioned man with the courage to ex-
press your opinions, or else go away
back and sit among the squaws and the
children. Manson Democrat.

BEGIN At HOME,

While trying to reform the nation we
would call the at ention of Iowa reform
ers to some state matters that need
correction.
I he taxation laws Of Iowa are execre-
able. The tax dorgsrs are as many as
the leaves on the tree. Men who are in
formed, IMPLY laugh at the assessors re-
turns. Whole townships in Crawford
county and this county is no worse than
others, return mere bagatelle as their
monies and credits When the banks are
over flowing with the deposits OF these
same people. The bank deposits of Den
ison amount to not less than one million
dollars to say nothing of the real estate
and other loans made, but there j, next
to nothing Oh hand when the assessor
comes around. The asse .sor should be
given access to the bank books if necess-
airy to find out who has the money and
who has not and all should be compelled
to pay their just share. Then too it is
notorious in Iowa that the railroads do
not pay one fourth of the just amount of
taxes. Every year the roads go through
the farce of perjuring themselves as to
the amount of their earnings etc and then
the executive council gravely considers
these accumulated perjuries as the basis
for railroad taxation. The whole thing is
a fraud from beginning tic end.

MUNICIPAL ExTORTIoN.

It the waterworks of Denison were un-
der private control and the same prices
charged for water rates as are now asked
by the city. there would be no end to the
ferment among the people. The COM
pany would be attacked on every hand as
grasping ipordinate corporation that
was grinding the life out of the people.
What does the water user of Danison
pay for to-day?
First He pays tor water he uses him
self.
Second He pays for what water the
city uses.
Third. He pays for fire protection not
for himself alone, but for the entire city.
Fourth He pays into the sinking fund
to pay for the construction of the water
works and for the fire protection of the
entire city.
Fifth He pays for the extension of the
mains to other parts Of the city.
Sixth He pays for the lighting of the
entire city.
Seven,heHe pays profit over all this
into the city treasury.
The water rates of Denison should be
reduced one-half and they could we'll b.
if the water users were expected to pay
only their fair proposition of the expense
charging the balance to the people as a
whole The total cost would be the same
but there is nossense or justice in making

for the fire protection for his neighbors

ThereIare two objects of water works

secondary object is to provide water for
