"Whether 1t Is the better method or
not the people have a liking for the
primary plan Of making nominations
declares the Webster City Freeman-
Tribune. "They feel they have say
in who shall be the nominees OF their
party and are better satisfied over re-
suits. A state wide primary law,
properly safeguarded to prevent fraud
ulent voting, would surely be popular
in Iowa."
While people cheer Roosevelt for
what he says to mothers, and specu-
late on what he would say to con-
gress of husbands who should be
fathers, the Sioux City Tribune thinks
"it would be interesting to know what
! some of the husbands would say who
are receiving s1.25 to $1.75 per day for
their working, and paying 20 to SO per
cent more for their food than ever
before"
"There need be no alarm because
Iowa is not making rapid increase in
population" reassuringly remarks the
Dubuque Telegraph. ct is growing in
wealth because of the productiyeness
Of the soil, the excellence of the stock
shipped and the high intelligence of
it's people"
The Chicago Livestock World
speaking of the falling off in popula-
ton complained of by census enumer-
ators says it is case of much ado
about nothing, and that Iowa ought
to congratulate itself in it's immun-
ity from the human scourge affecting
Illinois and New York by reason of
the foclxing to such centers at Chi
cago and New York Of the scum Of
Europe" and suggests Editors who
are fretting and Tuning about decrease
in population are possibly more con-
cerned about diminished subscription
lists"
1t is the observation Of the Coun-
ell Bluffs Nonpariel that Gas rule,
the better judge of whisky a man be-
comes the poorer judge of investments
he is"
The Sioux City Journal admits there
NAV be a few reasons why control of
the Equitable should go to the Alex
amer IdcJlOH vi W lAC 44SoC AelSeAoAA
but says there are 100000 reasons why
the company should be mutualized in
the interest of the stockholders.
Noting the pleading Of the Iowa Re-
tail Grocers' Association that the
Iowa newspapers shall not run the adj
vertising of the mail order houses, the
Fairfield Ledger thinks it is some
what strange that Iowa grocers should
fear advertising when, as rule, they
see so little benefit in it. "a glance
at Iowa newspapers will convey the
idea that the grocery business is the
poorest advertised business in the
state" says the Ledger.
The Brooklyn Chronicle says: 1T is
a. good thing to belong to party
which has been right in the past. 1t
will be better thing if that party
can be kept right on the issues of the
future"
"The banker who begins to specu-
late is as one already condemned as
serts the Cedar Rapids Republican. A
banker can not afford to speculate even
a little Banking and speculation are
incompatible"
chamberIain's Cough Remedy the Best
and Most Popular.
"Mothers buy it for croupy children,
railroad men buy it for severe coughs
and elderly people buy it for la grippe"
saw Moore Bros. Eldon, Iowa. I'VE
sell more Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy than any other kind. 1t seems
to have taken the lead over several 9TH
er good brands" There is no question
but this medicine is the best that can
be procured for coughs, and colds,
whether it be child or an adult that
is afflicted It always cures and
cures quickly. Sold by all druggists.
