ING his system with tobacco. and In

The Nonpareil notes that the journal
/ of Sioux city intimates that some iowa
i republican newspapers are printing 'i.s
whole ticket under the editorial heao,
lin order to reduce the space that wouid
otherwise be devoted to editorial ex-
preston. LAS yet remarks the NON
pareil, 1.-The ticket has not appeared IN
the Journal, SO we conclude mat ehe'
editor regards what he may nave 10
say against 1t as of more Importance
than the publication Of the names OF
the republican candidates as they VIII
appear on the ticket"
"The paramount and patriotic duty
of the hour is to sustain Presluent
Roosevelt. This can be done. only by
/ electing republican congress next
month. In the discharge OF that duty
the First district should not fail to DO
it's full share" declares the Gate CITY
of Keokuk.
The Sioux City Tribune would Ike
to see Roosevelt in the senate. II ne Is
not reelected president, and makes
| the observations: There Is frm
4 conviction in the minds of the people
| not without warrant-that the senate
| 10 chiefly an obstacle, and It's members
are obstructing good legislation In be-
Ehalf Of great moneyed interests. The
| mentality OF men like Aldrich, Spooner
and Foraker has developed a conven>
| tional system OF poses and pretenses
under which meritorious bills are done
to death They pride themselves on
1 artistic assassinatlons."
"rhe admirers of ex-President Cleve-
| land will be a little disappointed to
know that he did not have the courage
to come out boldly and assert his
opinion Of the Hearst ticket recently
nominated In the Empire state" ac-'
cording to the Muscatine Journal.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald,
dem. says it does not regard Hearst
as a demagogue, but believes that
| he firmly and sincerely believes in the
fundamental principles advocated IN
the columns of his newspapers" TO
| mis- the Keokuk Gate City replies: 1T
will have to be admitted. In the light
of this evidence, that the Dubuque pa
ner's credulity department is fully
equipped and in admirable working Or

"uncle George D. Perkins and Mr..
J. G. Kelley, both of Sioux City, seem
bound to have lots of fun with each
other" comments the Charles City In
telligencer.
The LeMars Sentinel thinks "ti,e eff
forts being made by the democrats to
show that Iowa republicanism mas
nothing in common with republicanism
as found in other states, has proved a
failure. When the vice president and
the speaker of the house and many
other republicans come to Iowa to urge
that Iowa give it's usual republican
majority by their simple presence they
give the lie to the democratic claim
"There is no call,' affirms the Du-
mont vidette, "for any republican to
scratch his ticket this fall, and we be-
lieve that but few republicans VIII 90
so. AS to the head of the tickets, we
can. not see what grounds any repub-
lican has for refusing to vote for Gov
ernor Cummins. You say he is dem
ocrat. Is Porter republican? Don't
"cut off your nose to spite your face"
but remain republican for principle
don't be a democrat for spite.
During the next ten years" in the
opinion of the Daily Capital, railroad
! ing will become regular legitimate
enterprise. Speculation will be knocked
out. The trolley lines will help to
bring these good results. The actual
| managers of railroad property are all
right. Trouble is caused by the spec
ulators who manipulate the proper
ties"

handing Cuba back to the Cubans will

| in such a way that there is no honor
able way to escape it, but however

come to be American territory"
