Senator Noel at
MeadViIIe.

After the usual preHminaries at the
opening Of the criminal court here
Monday, Senator E. F. Noel, of Lex,
ingt0n, Miss, was introduced by Judge
M. H. Wilkinson, and given the stand
| The Senator was loudly applauded up
on arising to open his address to the
people of Franklin county in behalf
of his candidacy for the governorsniE
and his speech was most impressive
from the start. He seemed to touch
upon the parts most vital and inter
esting to the people. In referring
briefly to some of his opponents, Sen
ator Noel spoke in terms becoming
one fitted to mold the high position to
which he aspires at the hands of the
majority vote in the State of Missis-
sippi. The Senator's broad smile and
intelligent expression won for him
many admirers in this county, and the
words: Il voted for him in the first
race and will vote for him again." was
a common expression on the lips of
his hearers after his address was
closed. Noeps solution of the negro
problem is about as near correct as
any American has, so far, been able
to solve it. His views or railroads
and corporations are reasonably cor
rect. Senator Noel is the author of
the Noel amendment and white pri-
mary election law that has virtually
barred the negro from politics in this
State. The Senator's last utterances
were applauded to the highest by the
mass of people in the court house.

What Will The
Cost Be-?

The estimates for the Panama canal
for the next fiscal year have been
prepared and will require $25, ,406,-
258, of which $9,300,903 is for la
Dor, 81 1886, 900 for further equipment
of the Panama railroad and the bal
ance, nearly $l5,0O0,0O0, for con-
structiOn materials. As the pay of
the laborers is $l.00 day, the esti-
mated amount will provide 10000
laborers working 300 days in the
year, but as the laborers will not
average anything like 300 days work
in the year, the real number employed
will be much greater. AS most of
the millions already expended have
been for materials, the amount now
called for for that purpose would
seem to be far beyond the necessities
of construction. Judging by the es-
Inmates, and taking ten years to COM
plete the canal, the cost will far ex-
ceed the amount that the Admins
tratiOn told US the canal would cost.
As President Roosevelt has given
up the work of making the dirt fly"
and is now about to let the building
of the canal by contract, there will
be great incentive for fraud and
grating, 50 how much the canal will
cost the people of the United States,
under the erratic change of plans of
the Republican administration, before
it is completed is what no fellow can
figure on. 1t is quite likely that af-
ter the contracts are let, there will
be disagreement with the contrac-
tors, involving prolonged and expen-
sive litigation and the work will pro-
badly have to be completed by the
army engineers. This is what the
Republicans call doing things"

Organization Needed.

The late election may fairly be
called a drawn battle, for while the
Democrats lost ground insome states
they gained about 25 seats in the
House of Representatives reducing
the Republican majority from ovel
one hundred to about fifty. The gen,
eral trend of the election showed
gains for the Democrats in the cite;
due to the aid of Organized Labor
and a stand still vote in the country
which requires more information be.
fore accounting for it. 1t is hardly
probable that farmers endorsed the
standpat tariff doctrine which plum.
ders them and enriches the trusts
and corporations, yet many farmers
were evidently too busy or too well
satisfied to take the trouble to vote
The more complete organization
and the money Of the tariff protected
trusts enabled the Republicans to
bring out the vote of their regular
supporters, while the lack of the
necessary money to pay for teams
and workers, led to many Democrats
staying away from the polls. The
result of the election therefore shows
that the great need Of the Democrats
is a more thorough organization and
this work should be at once under
taken by the party committees who
are in charge of the organization.
Such work can be but partially ac-
complished in the heat of campaign
and to put it off until a presidential
nomination is made, is. to invite
another defeat.
There is no doubt that more than
half Of the voters of the United
States are either Democrats, or be-
lleve in Democratic policies, but if
unorganized they cannot be brought
to the polls and counted. Instead of
waiting, however, for the leaders to
move, the Democratic workers in every
township and county should take ac-
count of stock and find out how many
reliable Democrats there are in their
localities and then urge action by the
state committees to supply the neces-
sary literature and arguments to win
over the doubtful and independent
voter.
There is lots of work to be done in
the next two years and patrioticDem-
ocrats will have to do it and thus en-
thuse those who otherwise would lao
in the reforms that are so much need
ed.

II New Trust.

The Beet Sugar Trust--The Great
Western Sugar Company--thinks it
has a cinch on the production of de-
natured alcohol from the waste pulp
Of the sugar beet, after the available
sugar has been extracted. A fight
between the Whiskey Trust and the
Sugar Trust to control the market
for denatured alcohol would give US
cheap alcohol for fuel and light for a
time, at least until the two trusts
combined. But if the Beet Sugar
Trust is successful in thus disposing
of its waste product, what becomes
of the argument that the farmers
are to find market for grain which
will not pass inspection? Under Re-
publican legislation it always seems
to turn out that the farmers get the
worst end Of it and the trusts come
out on TOP.

A newspaper man is a sort of a
father cOnfessor to the whole town,
says the Earlville Leader. That is,
people come to him and confess their
nelghbor's sins. 1t is surprising the
number of stories, some false, many
true, that are given to the editor,
about people of his own town, promi-
nent or otherwise. Insinuations, SEN
satiOns, scandals, ridiculous or shame
full Incidents, all come in with the
grist that is brought for grinding to
the newspaper mill. 1t is we'll that
the editor Is a man Of charity and
seeks the peace of the community.
Nearly every newspaper man has re-
fected, with grim sarcasm, on the
way life could be made a burden in
unexpected quarters if he should get
out his muck rake in earnest. But he
never does it--cr at least not often, and
then only when his corns are stepped
on. Think kindly of the men of the
press. They hear everything, but
tell only part of it. They resist great
temptation, and draw the mantle of
charity over some unsavory messes.

Senator Knox, who by the assis.
tance of the Pennsylvania railroad
and the generous help of the Stand
ard Oil trust represents the corpora
tions in the United States Senate, has
been called into consultation at the
White house to know just what ought
to be done by the numerous and best
attorneys in the country to prepare
the case against the Standard Oil
trust with unusual care" 1t might
be suggested that most any honest
cornfield lawyer could get John D.
Rockefeller in stripes, if the Federal
judge and jury can be relied upon
but it would seem to a layman that il
would be advisable to keep Knox out
of the case.

Il Hearst Triumph.

In speaking Of the recent contest
in New York, Secretary Of the Navy
B0naparte said: We must be pre-
pared to deal with the questions he
(Hearst) has been agitating in a spirit
at once liberal and conservative"
Ex-Gov. OdelI, the former Republi-
can boss Of New York, said: From
this time forward, theRepublican par
ty must give greater heed to the de-
mands of the people for the better
ment Of conditions and less to the
ambitions of politicians"
Certainly here are triumphs for
Mr. Hearst, of which defeat cannot
rob him. He has forced his ideas to
the front so that his bitterest enemies
cannot evade them.
As the Atlanta Constitution says:
The next thing to the defeat of a
political antagonist is to force him to
come to your view point; TO see things
as you see them"
This is what Mr.. Hearst has done
in New York, and for this splendid
triumph he deserves the credit, as the
thanks, of State and nation.
I'VE may expect from this time
forward, as Mr.. 0dell puts it, more
attention from Republican officials to
the demands of the people for the
conservation of their interests, and
less of favoritism to the moneyed in
terests and the trusts. Memphis

President Roosevelt should call the
attention Of the First Assistant Post
master General to the Republican
campaign book in which it is declared
that the cost of living has not in
creased perceptibly. That hardly
agrees with the official request for
increased pay for postal clerks due
to the increase in the cost of living.
Those who are paying high trust
prices can hardly have much faith in
Republican statements which have
evidently been manufactured to de-
ceive them.

The price of pig iron has advanced
nearly 80 per cent since last spring
and the buyers are running over each
other in their eageness to secure
supplies. Still the Republican lead

be shipped in and relieve this extra
ordinary demand and so help the peo,
pie who are paying high prices for
everything into which iron and steel
enter. The Cannon-Roosevel. CON-

Tobacco Trust
pIunderin6.

The Virginia and North Car Fra
tobacco growers are trying to organ
ize to escape the clutches Of the tc-
baccO octopus, known as the Ameri-
can Tobacco CO. These farmers claim
that the trust through its various
branches fixes the price Of tobaccn
and there is practically but one buyer.
Before the trust was formed there
was competition and when the pro-
duct was auctioned off there was
show for the farmer to get a fair
price. The tobacco growers intend
to adopt a method whereby they can
hold tfeir tobacco until satisfactory
price is obtained, and pledges were
read at meeting in Danvilie from
more than 1000 growers agreeing to
place the whole or part of their crop
of 1906 in the hands Of a committee
for disposal.
Although there has been on file in
the Department of Justice for more
than six years ample eviderce to CON
Wet the tobacco trust magnates Of
conspiracy in restraint Of trade, yet
the Roosevelt Administration kas re-
fused to prosecute the case and So
encouraged the trusts managers toI
even greater eXactions. The plan of
this trust in criminally depressing the
price of what it buys and forcing it's
competitors to the wal, is closely af-
Ter the manner of the Beef Trust, |
pIunderer of the farmers and
consumers. With hundreds Of special |
attorneys employed the Administra-
tion has not succeeded in conyicting
and imprisoning a single trust man
lger. A few paltry fines have been
imposed, but such mild punishment
has had no effect on righting the
wrongs of producers, or consumers,
Tor no trust has ceased to beat down
,he price of what it buys or has de-
creased the price of what itseIls.
Those Democrats who have become
2ooseyeltized must feel foolish for
following him as a model trust bus
Ter, for what have they gained by it?

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-08-23

Where this exists there is no room
for argument and the Review shall
attempt none.
Another peculiar situation in which
democracy finds itself is that while
Bryan was specifically endorsed at the
state convention the Bryan men, the
men who took the laboring oar during
his two campaigns, were thrown out
bodily and the conservatives are in the
saddle. A conservative represents
the 10th District on the democratic
state central committee, displacing j.
B. Romans who has been more closely
identified with Bryan than almost any
other democratic leader in Iowa. and
So it has gone all along the line. The
original Bryan men are down and out
although Brayn's name is at the mast
head. If this is a fair sample of the
Bryan boom that gentleman will find
himself down and out when the ma
tional convention meets. There is
much dissatisfaction among the Bryan
democrats over this turn of affairs for
while they were glad to welcome the
"gold democrats" back, they did not
expect to be swallowed bodily as they
were at the state convention.

NOW THE WEEDS.

Denison, like all other towns, is
confronted with the weed proposition
on its thoroughfares, and something
ought to be done to keep the obnox
ious growth down. The council has
from time to time asked property
owners to NOW the weeds in front of
their premises. Some have complied
with the request, while good MANY
others have not, and as result the
growth has become quite rank and
the streets look unsightly.
The council several years ago pur-
chased mower for this purpose but
this could not be used in all cases.
and then too, they met with another
obstacle. for the bitches had been
filled with wire and other rubbish
which soon put the mower out of com
mission. The council then hired men
to do the cutting, but this proved too
expensive, and few men could be Sc
cured who were willing to handle
the scythe.
Denison should keep her streets
free from weeds, and we do not see
why property owners should not be
willing to assist the city administra-
iton in keeping the streets IN first
class shape, especially on the weed
proposition. We are sure that the
city will do all in it's power to keep
the main thoroughfares free from
weeds if the resident owners will only
give them what assistance they can
along this line.
Let all put their shoulders to the
wheel, and help to make the streets
OF Denison as beautiful as are our
business blocks and residences.
