TAINTED MONEY.

The democrats of Wisconsin in
their platform just adopted remind
the country that the republican
national committee has not made
re ,titution Of the large sums re-
ceived from the life insurance cor
porations, .filched from the funds
that should have been sacred to
the widows and orphans OF policy
holders. The plank adopted con-
dems the republican party for the
acceptance of the policy holders
money and demands that the same
be restored. Now President Roose-
welt has five months holiday before
him, there can be no excuse, for
lack Of time, for his not taking up
the matter with Chairman Cortel-
you and ordering that restitution
of these tainted funds be made to
their rightful owners.

Mutual Insurance..

The Farmers Mutual Fire In.
surance Company, of Idaho county,
met here Wednesday afternoon al
the Odd Fellows hall and effected
a permanent organization and elect.
ed the following board of directors:
Herman Won Bargen, Henry Meyer
G. B. Knorr, John F. Nuxoll, Bar
ney Luchtefeld, Geo. Stuber and
NJ. Kaschmitter. OF these M.
KascAmitter was elected president,
Henry Meyer, vice president, Geo.
Stuber. secretary and Herman
Won Bargen, treasurer. The COM
pany is now ready to do business,
but will not issue policies until &C.
cepted applications to the amount
of 500, 900 have been received.
The company will write insur.
ance against fire or lightning on all
kinds of farm property aud when
losses occur a general pro rata as
sessment will be made to cover the
loss. This system of insurance is
being carried on extensively in
the eastern states and has been
found to be very successful and
cheap. A similar company is now
operating on Nez Perez prairie and
there is little doubt but that every
farmer in Idaho county will join
the new company and take out in
snrance. The company does not
write insurance on property in in
corporated towns. - Cottonwood

A most remarkable letter from Sec
rotary Shaw has been published In the
Des Moines Capital. Nominally it is
a private letter to State Senator Mols-
berry opposing the statewide primary.
Since Molsberry is the man who
steered thru the legislature railroad
bill to New Jerseyize Iowa which SO
angered Carroll Wright when Governor
Cummins was compelled to veto it and
since such a letter two columns long
to a railroad politician con-
tains one column of argument to
show that the railroads did not nomi-
nate Shaw for governor, this letter is
really remarkable one.
Secretary Shaw in his letter en-
phasizes the following points:
"a state primary would cost a for
tune for candidate to Sc
cure nomination under the
primary system, unless given combined
support Of the railroads.
The primary law would give the
railroads an opportunity to control
politics in Iowa-an opportunity which
they have not had in the past.
Railroads were consulted but did not
ask pledges for their support in his
own nomination..
Under national primary system,
candidates who had acquired wide
fame, men like William Randolph
Hearst would be chosen over better
men but less. widely known.
Railroad domination in Iowa poll
ties past and present is a myth. Iowa's
delegation in congress is one Of the
strongest and most representative in
the country.
If the primary bill is enacted office
seeking should be abolished by law. so
as to leave the voters untrammeled.
The letter is as follows:
