We Repudiate It.

One of the boldest political moves
we have seen for some time is tina,
Of someone sending out a circular in
the name OF the Republican Con.
gessional Committee of this District,
to the voters attacking Guttersen
and his platform. We are a
member OF that committee but
know of no meeting of that body
neither were we consulted in re-
gard to the matter and repudiate
any connection with the transaction
Furthermore, we do not believe it
to be the prerogative of a political
committee to take part in a nomi-
mating fight between men Of their
own party aid doubtless our we'll
known views, on this line was the
cause of our being ignored in the
matter. One rule of our life is to
feel under no obligation to u party,
person nor church that ignores us
in its councils. We have supported
McC Clearly heretofore and if he and
the committee proposes to conduct
the campaign along this line we are
done with them from now on

An IrrepressibIe Conflict,

Political parties are again in q
state of disintegration. An idea ia
again the solvent It appears in
many forms. It inspires the move
ment to put rate making under
governmental control. It is the
ferment that stirs the question Of
taxation. It is the motive of SUBJ
lection of public service corporation
to greater public control. In
another from it attacks political
machines. Another phase is the
wide movement to place in the
hands of voters the selection Of all
candidates for public Office. The
basic idea is individualism, the
greater freedom Of men the wide
ming of their rights; the conversion
of privilege into liberty; the dimin-
fishing of governing by represent
atives, the increase of governing of
self by self. These ideas have to
await the juncture of conditions
to get the force to lie effective.
These occur only at long intervals
during which crust forms on public

The Dairy Record: The farmer
who has access to a local creamery,
one owned by an individual or
better, one owned by the formers
themselves, and still patronizes a
central plant is doing himself, his
children and his community serious
harm. There is no reason why any
local creamery doing fair amount
of business rightly managed, can
not pay good price for the cream
as the big central plants. Most of
the local creameries, as q matter of
fact pay more. Stick to your local
creeamery-you will be far better
off in the end.

opinion, impenetrable to the idea.
Then come the favorable conditions
/ and it bursts through and grows and
spreads and fourishes.
Very blind must be the eyes that
cannot SEQ that such is now the con-
dition. 1t prevades both parties.
Men in each party stand for and
represent the contending forces.
We call the one progressive, the
other conservative. Party badges
alone mark the line of separation.
They are unanimous as to the idea,
whatever form it takes. Bryan
supports Roosevelt on rate control :;
La Toilette works in harness with
Tillman. There are republican free
traders, just as there are democratic
protectionists. So it is all along
the line. The idea cuts across all
party lines. It loosens the ties that
have held men to parties. It forces
them to align themselves anew; to
take the idea for guide of political
action instead of the commandments
of conventions and leaders.
In Massachusetts it is the use of
federal taxing power that is disrupt
ing. In Pennsylvania and New York
it is revolt against party machines
and corporation domination. In Wis
consin and Iowa it is the dethrone-
ment Of privilege. In Minnesota
there is unrest, in North Dakota
dissatisfaction slowly crystallizing :;
in South Dakota open revolt and a
ditched machine. Whatever the
form it takes anywhere the impell-
ing force is the same, the develop
ing force Of newer, larger idea of
the rights Of the individual, a force
that has worked all the progress
those races have made which have
moved up out OF barbarism. The
men and the party that sets against
this force simply invite overthrow
and destruction Paul Dispatch.

an agr cement on the measure with
in ten days or else agree.to let it die
for the session. And as the Santo
Domingo treaty is practically dead
and the Speaker is willing to ad.
journ there seems no reason why
Congress should not get away by the
middle of June.
1t is a little early to forecast the
chances of proseou ton against the
Standard Oil Company, but prepara-
tons in that line are being made
though with great secrecy. It will
be remembered that the report of
Commissioner Garfield on tho oil
business dealt only with the rail-
roads transportation. There are
several more instalments of that
report. They will deal with the
pipe lines, with the foreign oil
business of this country and with
the business and competitive
methods of the Standard in the
United States. 1t is very safe to
say that when all the facts are
ready the Department of Justice
will proceed against the company
either for violation of the Elkins
Law or the Sherman antitrust law
or both. There was enough shown
in the report already submitted to
make out a case under the Elkins
law, though some of the worst
phases of the discrimination by
which the railroad companies
favored the Standard were done
strictly within the law and on an
open rate basis. It is said that the
arrangement of the company in the
later section of the report will be
even worse than in the first and
that the prosecution which is al
most sure to come will be one of
the most sensational legal battles
ever witnessed in this country.

Washington Notes

Washington D. G. May "a, 1906.
Adjournment by June 10th is now
the prospect before Congress. Al
least that is the way that Senator
Aldrich sized up the situation after
his visit to the White House in the
middle of the week. It was the first
time that he had been to the White
House for about three months, and
after nearly an hours conference
with the President gave this as hie
opinion of the situation. He said
that there was only one question in
Congress that promised to produce
much delay. That was the type of
the Panama Canal. The Senate has
announced it's conviction that the
sea level type will be the proper
one. The President and the House
are both committed to the lock level
type, and it is possible that there
may be a proloned wrangle when
the matter comes up for a Settle
ment.
The other matters, Senator AID
rich thinks, can be disposed of in
short order. There is not much
likelihood Of delay over the Pure
Food Bill. It is thought that the
measure will be passed at this
session, though there are strong
interests against it and they will
use all their influence to emasculate
the measure 80 that it will be of no
effect or else to prevent any action
at all. It is thought that the Free
Alcohol Bill also will be passed at
the present session, though some of
those who are in a position to know
say that there will be enough in
fiuence used to keep it from coming
to a vote. The conferees on the
bill will either come to

ROSIE e..

When pa said he was going to sell
Rosie ma said it seemed almost as #
he was selling one of the children, but
pa laughed and said the market for
boys wasn't very good this year, while
there was always demand for beef
critters. Just the same, ma argued
with him ana tried to get him out of
the notion She kept right talking
against letting Rosie go. up to the
morning when Alex Trumbull came to
drive her away. That morning ma
wouldn't speak to pa nor Alex Trum
bull either, but just went to her room
and shut the door, and when she came
down stairs again her eyes was all red.
Pa told her not to be foolish, and show
ed her the money he got for Rosie, and
told her she ought to feel good since
he was going to give her half of it, and
she could have that dress pattern she
had been wanting all winter. Ma
wouldn't take the money. She declar-
ed that If she got that dress now. ev-
cry time she wore it she would feel as
| if she was wearing part of Rosie.
Pa laughed again at that and told her
| it wasn't the fashion any more for
women to wear cowhide boots, so she
needn't fret about having to wear any
part of Rosie. Ma didn't say anything
more.
I couldn't just exactly understand
all about it then. All l knew was that
Alex Trumbull had paid pa forty dol
lars for Rosie and was going to keep
her on his farm. Pa bought Rosie
when l was only six years old, and I
couldn't remember a day when we
didn't have her. At night she slept on
the grass in the big backyard, except
in the winter time or when it was
stormy in the summer. Then she went
into the old barn. Lots of folks here
in town would send over to our house
and get milk or cream when they had
company, and we always had plenty of
milk to drink, and ma churned our
own butter l am the oldest boy, and
while Ralph and Benny were growing
up Rosie was my chum. She and
got so we understood each other as
we'll as most folks do.
| used to drive her out to old Mrs.
Mullen's pasture lot at the edge of
town every morning, and go and drive
her home in the evening. You know
where Mrs. Mullen's pasture is. It's
that field just beyond the flour mill
1t runs along the creek on one side
and along the Greenville pike on the
other. Well, just before you get to the
pasture lot you know there is line
that runs up to Bill Grosser's and then
runs over to Aliens woods Every
time Rosie would get to that lane she
would make like she was going to turn
into it, and l would jump up and hol
Ter and head her off. Sometimes she
would stand and shake her head and
paw on the ground as if she was mad
at me, and let on that she would hook
me if aI'n't stop trying to keep her

THE CONTEST.

Dear Juniors: The contest which
will close August 10 is getting along
nicely. Today we are publishing some
essays. "My State" written for last
week, which came after the Junior
had gone to press. If these Juniors
will note the date on their work they
will see that the essays were written
several days too late. To win out in a
contest you must follow the rules care
fully. We have been announcing each
weeks subject for the prize to be
awarded August 10 two weeks in ad-
vance so as to give the Juniors living
in distant states an equal
chance with the ones living in Iowa.
Some of the Juniors do not pay enough
publishing the names today because
we want the Juniors to keep up their
interest in the contest, and we think a
little secrecy will help matters along.
We will again publish the subject
for next week, which is a series of
questions and each contestant will be
| expected to answer all of them correct
ly. The questions follow:
Who was the sixth president Of the
! United States?
What are the names of the cabinet
officers serving under President Roose-
welt? Give their titles and name the
states from which they were chosen.
What is the name of the governor
and superintendent of schools in your
state?
What is the principal railroad near
est your home?
When was your home state settled?
Tell what you like best about the
lJunior page; also tell what you do not
like.
The subjects for the last week end
| ing August 10 are: v
What 1 have done this summer"
What l expect to do in school next
year."
Write on either of the above sub
jects.
Write on one side of paper only, Civ
ing name, address and age.
Each week we will give different
subject.
The successful contestant will re
ceive as a reward for his or her effort
a silver knife, fork and spoon, in nice
! box with the words Courier Junior
engraved. You must be very careful
cbout your work. To win this beauti
full prize you must work hard. We
hope that the Juniors will cut these
rules out and follow them carefully
Many Juniors have not acknowl
edged their prizes. Juniors do not for
get your good manners.

Seven little girls decided they would
have a society all their own. They
are going to meet at each others
homes once a month. They call it the
T. B. T. o. society. They have a presi-
dent, vice president, secretary and
treasury. We make candy and have d
nice time. They are going to have a
program. They organized it in our
school and I am member Of it. They
met at the home of Roxie Phillips
the first time and made candy and
set it out to cool, and the pet pig came
around and ate it.
The next time we met,at Octa Shop
herds and we made some candy, but
the pig did not eat it.
When we have our program we want
to send the money to the Orphans
Home.
Many thanks for the souvenir.
