A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

In this issue, the Courier publishes
a strong communication from "a Non
partisan republican" setting forth in
vigorous language the fact that the
reelection of Major Lacey to congress
is a business proposition in which the
people. and that means all the people,
of the Sixth district are specially and
vitality interested. Major Lacey with
his long experience, his influential
acquaintance and his unquestioned
ability. can do more for the people Of
this district in one term than a new
man could do in ten years. The sug-
gestion of our correspondent that Of
tumwa wants the United States court
and federal court building in this
city, is directly to the point. Ottumwa
is the natural location for the federal
court in southeastern Iowa. and while
1t may not be possible for us to secure
1t in the near future, yet one thing
is certain. Major Lacey can do more
to accomplish this result, than any
other man we can send to congress
at this time.
Our correspondents suggestion that
the great reforms which have been
inaugurated by the Roosevelt admin
istration should go on, is also directly
to the point. These reforms will go
on, if President Roosevelt is sustained
and endorsed, and the only way in
which the people can sustain and en-
dorse him is by the reelection of a
republican congress, which is in &C.
cord with his policies and the i'm
mensely important work which he
is attempting to accomplish for the
benefit of all the people.
Our correspondents statement that
Major Lacey has been a good and
faithful friend of the coal miner, is
unquestioned and we believe is fully
recognized by this large and influen-
cial class of citizens in the Sixth dis.
trict. 1t does not seem possible that
any coal miner, who has the welfare
of himself and his family at heart,
would vote for member of congress,
who will inevitably cast vote for the
placing Of coal on the free list. if an
opportunity presents itself in the next
congress. Major Lacey has done great
service for the coal miners, so far as
any member of congress could do SER
vice for them, and they know 1T. For
this reason, the coal miners in this dis
trict will vote for Major Lacey.

Edwin DUNCAN, clerk of the district
court and candidate for reelection for
the second term is well known to the
voters of Wapello county. During
the time that he has been connected
With the clerks Office In the county
court house, and in his official capacity
he has met many Of the residents Of
the county and he has made many
friends.
Besides the two years he will have
served as clerk when the present term
of office is complete he served as de-
putty clerk :or little more than two
years during the clerkship of H. w.
~ heal Mr.. DUNCAN popularity
and his strength as vot2 getter was
amply illustrated in the election OF
1904, when he led the county ticket
and received larger majority than
any candidate on the state ticket, his
vote being exceeded only by that given
President Roosevelt, himself.
And at that, in one ward, at least,
Mr.. DUNCAN received an even larger
vote than the presidential ticket that
ward being the first where Mr.. DUNCAN
received 404 votes to 401 given to
Edwin S. Ormsby, the presidential
elector securing the highest vote.
Mr.. DUNCAN came to Wapello coun-
ty in 1880 and has resided in Ottumwa
since that time. During this period
Mr.. DUNCAN has been connected first
with Lawrence & DUNCAN, wholesale
dry goods. the Iowa National bank,
and later in the retail merchandise Of
his own until burned out in 1908.
The present clerk of Wapello coun.
ty was born at Frankfort Springs,
Beaver county, Penn, in 1S49 He aft
erwards made his home in Carlton,
where for three years he was employ
ed In the First National bank Mr..
DUNCAN attended the agricultural col
lege at Ames during the opening year
of that institution.
Mr.. DUNCAN has made an active
campaign attending nearly all OF the
county meetings held this fall and lie
is expected to make an unusually
strong race for the office for which
his practical business training SO well
fits him.

AN OPEN LETTER.

The following portion Of an open let
ter is published upon request of Post
Commander G. W. Kitterman:
To all ex-soldiers, sailors and ma
rines:
Comrades: An election of the ut
most Importance Is at hand. 1t Is an
event Of the greatest gravity to the
whole country, and in addition to your
participation as American citizens.
you have in it peculiar and personal
interest.
The concern that you have In com.
mon with all your patriotic fellow
citizens Is that the present and uni
versal prosperity of the country shall
receive no blighting frost by the fail
ure Of the Republicans to retain con.
troll of the House of Representatives.
Even if we admit the strenuous con
tention of the democrats and independ-
ent speakers and press that the re.
publicans are not entitled to the
credit Of producing this prosperity,
there still remains overwhelming rea.
sons why the republican candidates
for congress should be voted for in
preference to those on other tickets.
nc ldCLS dI0.
1. One of the severest panics in the
history Of the country Immediately
followed upon the election of demo
cratic congress-the last time the peo-
pie tried that experiment
2. The fearful commercial depres-
sion lasted as long as a democratic
congress was in power, and the cleo.
ton of republican congress was i'm
mediately followed by a restoration of
public confidence and a wonderful re.
vival of business activity.
3. This prosperity has been stead
lily maintained and augmented by the
republican congresses elected since.
Therefore, it would seem folly of
the grossest nature to invite a return
to the calamitous experience of 1926
by repeating that disastrous expert
ment.
A burnt child should dread the fire.
Public confidence is the most sensi.
tive of growths. Capital and business
are notoriously timid. With such
men in control of congress as are now
seeking reelection every one has felt
the utmost security for the future.
The farmer has felt sure Of the sale
of his crops at fair prices, the work
ingman has been certain of employ
ment at good wages, the business man
has been able to make his plans with
confidence in the future. The colossal
and complicated machinery of Ameri-
can business has moved with the ease,
harmony and certainty Of Corliss
engine.
Now for your own special and per-
sonal interest
All veterans and friends of yete.
rams have been hoping for the passage

PEOPLES PULPIT.

A Non-Partisan Business Proposition

A Non-Partisan Business Proposition.
Ottumwa wants two-hundred thou
sand dollar United States court build
ing and the United States court for
Southeastern Iowa.
A movement to this end is now on
foot.
Wapello county has personal inter
estsin this matter.
Major John F. Lacey is one of the
best and most influential members of
the house of representatives.
He is a Jealous, capable, level-head-
ed, tireless worker. Has a clean re-
cord. No faint or suspicion at any
graft or scandal has ever touched
him.
The charge that he is a millionaire,
grown rich from his office recently
made for campaign purposes, is a cam
paign Misrepresentation, without a
shadow of foundation.
He can and will do more for us
than half dozen new men can. His
high standing with Speaker Cannon
and President Roosevelt gives him
great influence and power.
While the democrats may gain a
few congressman In this off year they
have not ghost of show at getting
control of the house, and If they did,
they could only obstruct legislation.
The country is In the high tide of
prosperity Great reforms are being
brought about by this administration
and the good work will go on. We
can help it along and help ourselves
locally by re-electing Major Lacey.
Major Lacey has been a good and
faithful friend of the coal miners, and
can be depended on to continue so.
His reelection will be a splendid
thing for Ottumwa and Wapello coun-
ty.

CENTRAL FALLS
CASE IS HEARD
ON EXCEPTIONS

In the Supreme court today Justices
Dubois, Blodgett. johnson and Parkhurst
heard the case OF Charles A. Bowen, APP
pellant. VS.. Charles A. Reynolds. city
treasurer OF Central Falls, on the latter's
bill OF exceptions.
Mr. Bowen was badly injured by reason
OF the defective condition OF Summer
street i'm the littlest city on Aug. T. 1904.
He was riding a motorcycle and II struck
a pile of sand and stones.
Mr.. Bowens injuries proved later to-be
more severe than he thought they were
when he began suit in the district court
10 recover 5000 and claimed a jury trial.
A jury awarded him the full amount for
which he sued.
In support of it's motion for a new trial
In the Superior court the main point made
Summer street was public highway
Of said city Judge Brown then ruled
that there was some evidence OF the
street being a public highway and re-
fused TO say that the plaintiff was at
fault in this regard.
Now IL Is maintained by the defendant
that the plaintiffs own evidence shows
that he was not exercising even ordinary
care And II is further claimed the city
OF Central Falls had no notice of the
defect To this the plaintiff replies that
the rule that town or city must have
at least - hours notice has no applica-
ton 10 the case at bar. because the ex-
cavation or defective place was made
with the authority and permission OF the
city OF Central Fails The excavation
was made under and by virtue of drain
layers permit.
