The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1906-03-08

We have talked with number of our
citizens during the past week and all
seemed we'll pleased with the idea Of a
district fair at Humeston for the four
counties of Wayne, Lucas, Clark and
Decatur. This paper discussed the
question at length last week, giving
good reasons why we believe the enter
prise would prove success. We hope
the interest in the matter will continue
to grow deeper until definite steps
are taken to secure the enterprise. The
matter is worthy of the best of con
sideration and we believe majority of
the people will agree with us that we
ought to have fair.-Humeston Era.

Dancers of Pneumonia.

A cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia which is
often fatal, and even when the patient
has recovered the lungs are weakened,
making them peculiarly to the develop
ment of consumption. Foley's Honey
and Tar will stop the cough, heal and
strengthen the lungs and prevent pneu-
monia. L. P. Van Werden.

The Presidents Message.

The message of President
Roosevelt to the short session Of
the 59th congress of the United
States Is one of the most spec
tacular state documents ever be
fore read by cosmopolitan ma
ton, ard one OF the most astound-
ing, comprehensive and striking.
Certain parts Of his message has
created a tremOr among the me-
groes and many white people.
The colored press is loud in their
disapproval Of what he says on
lynching and their voices are
heard in the streets and ON the
house tops, saying ''Kill Caesar
and save Rome Not that we
love Caesar less, but Rome more.
Should Caesar live and all be
slaves, or should Caesar die and
all be freemen? The only part
we take issue with is where he
admonishes negroes to help hunt
down negro criminals, but does
not say anything about other
races hunting down their crimi
nails, thus implying that the negro
criminal is more distasteful than
white or any other criminal.
Also we do not think any specific
education should be mapped out
for the negro because he is a
negro. The president declared
in substance that the army and
navy would be employed to pro-
tect Japanese but did not say nor
imply that that power would be
employed to protect an American
citizen when local authorities
failed so to do. Further CON-
ments on and extracts from the
message in our Xmas number.

press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to continue sub
scriptions.

til all arrearages are paid.
g. If subscribers neglect or refuse
20 take their periodicals from post

tinued.
4. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub
