BETTER NOT BUTT IN.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says that
the Certificate of Character given w.
P. Hepburn by Roosevelt surpasses in
Importance anything that has happened
since Ballard of Red Oak was crowned
King Of Bards.'
Isn't it laughable when you stop to
think OF it? A man who has had but a
brief acquaintance with Hepburn giving
him a certificate of good character to
those who have known him intimately
for forty years or more. To man with
any sense of humor the whole affair is
ludicrous in the extreme. When a
mans home reputation has to be bolster
ed up by testimonials from outsiders, no
one can longer deny that it is getting
pretty shaky, and that there must be
something rotten in Denmark Peter is
sleek and may be able to fool the out
side world for something yet, but the
eighth district has just about got onto
him. The question soon to be decided
is this: Are the people here capable
of managing their own affairs, or are
they lot Of ninnies who have to get
instructions from the big moguls in
Washington in regard to the man they
must select for congress?
In our humble opinion, the more the
outsiders butt in the worse it will be
for Hepburn.
The average American is quick to
resent any intrusion on his private
affairs, his attitude in regard to med
dlers being voiced in the expression,

I'll attend to mine. Sidney Herald.

All Justice is not slow. William Nc
Williams murdered his wife and five
children at Independence, about the
middle of November. He pounded each
on the head with hammer till they
we're dead. He has been tried, and
sentenced to hang December Ia, 1905.
One year must elapse in Iowa be-

Williams is degenerate. He confessed
his crime fully and shows no remorse. He
claims to have been driven to it by an
irresistible inward impulse, but he lived
very inharmoniously with his wife.

We are asked what the post timber

ton OF no little Importance, IN view of
the rapid destruction of all our forests
and the almost entire absence of any

There is more than possibility that
the fence post of the future will be
made of cement. Cement posts are
already being made and used with
success. The future is quite likely to
see machines costing but little which
will enable every farmer to make his
own fence posts and secure posts which
will be practically indestructible.
When such posts can be furnished at

is no need to worry over the failing
supply of oak and cedar posts, which
are now worth Is cents each.
