COL. HEPBURN AND HIS TOWN.

1t is satisfactory to know that the
public building appropriation bill pro-
vides for real necessities only. 1t min
listers to the wants of vast populations
1t is such bill as Spartans with a
horror of deficit might be expected to
make.
Clarinda, the London of Iowa, has a
population of 1926 and the Honorable
William Peter Hepburn. A hive of mil
lions and capital of craftsmanship,
Clarinda, the fair Clarinda, is down for
a $4,000 postoffice. The interest on
$4,000 at per cent is $500. At
present the rent of the Clarinda post
office is only S62S. Such building is
too mean for Mr.. Hepburn to get his
mail in. A 100000 Mullettian Renais-
sance postoffice with full set of domes
would be none too magnificent.
Yazoo City, on the Yazoo, has a popu-
lation of 4,44S and the Honorable John
Sharp Williams. Yet it is proposed to
give Yazoo City only $4,000 of pork.
This discrimination against Yazoo City
is disgusting and Mr.. Williams is espec-
tally disgusting in this time of demo-
cratic republicans and republican dem
ocrats. Pork should be distributed per
capita and without favoritism.

How does sthe balance Of trade" stan

How does ''the balance of trade" stand
in Decatur county? Are we not send
ing out more money than we are receiv-
ing from beyond our county lines? If
so, we are getting rich as fast as we
might, by following wiser policy? We
believe that if hundred of our most
competent farmers, stockmen, poultry
men, nurserymen, seedsmen, gardeners,
ETC., would go into the mail order bust
ness and sell their live stock, poultry,
ETC., all over the country, Decatur
county would in few years be piling
up money in it's banks and this would
enable us to develop manufactures, an
other source of wealth. We looked at a
copy of The Homestead, of Des Moines,
Iowa, the other day and saw the adver-
tisements of scores of farmers in dis
tant places who are getting rich by
selling their products by mail. The
Homestead is the leading advertising
medium in the west for lands, live stock,
poultry, etc. If any readers of THE Re-
PORTER would like to embark on one Of
the profitable lines we should be glad to
place them in touch with this valuable
farm paper.

And now while we are jolting the
railroads in the short-ribs, let's give
the express and telegraph companies a
wallop that will force them to give SER
vice at fair prices, and in the case of
the telegraph, do something to force
prompt service or some way Of getting
even. The railroad company hold us up
along certain lines, but express and
telegraph takes the advantage of our
necessity and robs us in broad daylight.

CORNING FREE PRESS
HEPBURN.
ON

The Corning Free Press attributes
Hepburn's coming to that place to at
tend the Farmers meeting as being
planned by the Corning ring Of poll
ticians who wanted to break up the
farmers organization.
The Free Press says:
Through the Corning ring our con-
gresham was secured place on the
program and we very much fear it was
a mistake Of the association. The
meeting was theirs and they had a
right to invite who they pleased to
address them, and if they had wanted
our congressman they would have in
vited him in place of being waited on
by few politicians of Corning who
hoped by his coming they might break
the back of the association.
number of Hepburn rooters, some OF
them leading politicians coming from a
distance to help Hepburn out. When
he read that portion of the letter in
which the president 'could not see why
he could not endorse it," a stranger
who had evidently been posted asked
him to read it again. Kind of "capper'
you know. Word had been sent out by
the ring that the colonel was coming
and all the little fellows who want q
postof1ice at cross roads and all the
little fellows who want to be noticed ii
politics for the next generation were
here with rosin on their hands and
lemon juice in their Threats clapping
and following for the Big Peter. Let
us correct the impression that has
gained some circulation that the
audience was for Hepburn; that he
had been invited by the association
that the people who heard him Except
the politicians) are convinced he has
experienced new life.

Judge John H. Reagan, the last sur
viving member of the Confederate
cabinet, died in Texas last week.
Judge Reagen was great man whom
the adversities of the war did not
weaken. During the eighties he was
sent from Texas to Congress and after
wards made United States senator
where he served with great distinction
until he resigned to accept minor ap-
pointment in the state of Texas because
his people thought his services were
needed there. He was SO years old.

Col. Hepburn travelled 1900 miles back
from Washington to appease the indig-
nation of his constituents by showing
up letters from President Roosevelt and
others, endorsing his position on rail
road rates. If the colonel had only
steered his course on these matters a
year or few months back in different
way he would not have needed official
recognition of his eleventh-hour repent
ance.-KnoXville Express.

The farmer is under no delusion when
he says that he is the chief sufferer by
railroad rebates. In the case of his
shipment, the rate comes out Of his sell
ing price. He cannot take it out Of the
buyer, because he sells in the worlds
market. He gets no rebate. II the big
shipper gets his freight carried too low,
the railroad must make it out of the
farmer or the little shipper-and there
is just where the screws are applied.
