NO RIGHT TO 'SQUEAL''

Now and then when some statement
is published showing the wonderful
progress which the temperance move
ment, in various forms, is making
throughout the country, we hear some
professed enemy of the saloons and
the liquor traffic. who was more or
less prominent in the independent"
movement last year IN opposition to
Republicanism and all it stands for or
has ever stood for in this county. in
Weigh against the commissioners who
reduced the liquor license fee at the
request of the liquor dealers and
against Representative Shultz who
voted against the local option bill in
the legislature.
We have scant sympathy with these
particular temperance reformers. It
was matter of very common knowl
edge during the campaign that the
independent candidates for commits
sioner we're being strenuously and
effectively supported by the LIQUOR
dealers, without whose influence they
could not have been elected. The Re-
publican candidates were both strict
temperance men and if they had been
elected there would not have been the
least likelihood of any reduction of
the license fee.
So far as we know the successful
candidates did not make any pledges
to what is called the temperance ele-
ment.'' Assuming that to be the
case the commissioners cannot reason
ably be charged with any breach of
faith in reducing the license, nor can
the liquor dealers be blamed for ask
ing it. As far as Representative Shultz
and his vote on the local option ques-
tion is concerned. he never made any
pretense of favoring such regulation
of the liquor traffic and the liquor
dealers doubtless knew that he could
be depended upon to oppose it. We
fail to see that electors of professed
temperance principles who supported
| Messrs Shultz, Buchanan and Cayou
have any just cause for complaint
against them because of the course
they have taken officially on the
| liquor question.

AGAINST THE PARCELSPOST

AGAINST THE PARCELSPOST
While the great mail order houses
of the big cities persistently renew at
each term of Congress their strenuous
efforts to secure the enactment of a
new parcels post law, greatly reducing
the postage rate on merchandise pack
ages and increasing the limit of
weight, the probability is that the
widespread and vigorous opposition
of the country merchants and whole
salers will continue for some time to
come to prevent any radical changes
in the interests of the catalogue
houses. Many prominent public men
have expressed themselves as being
strongly opposed even to the parcels
post proposition of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Meyer, endorsed by the president,
which limits the proposed changes to
rural routes, ostensibly in the interest
of country merchants. 1t is regarded
as an "opening wedge" designed to
ultimately accomplish the ends of the
big concerns thta are seeking to make
the people of the entire country pay
tribute to them. The following opin-
ions may fairly be regarded as express
ing the views of men in public life
who are nearest to the masses Of the
people and most truly representative
of them:
Senator Dolliver of Iowa, in pub
lie address, said: 81 am believer in
the country town and country mer-
chants. They are the power for up
building our towns, our cities, our
state. E very one living in these
towns and near them benefits by their
schools and churches. If we are to be
strong nation we must be loyal to
our towns and villages. look with
alarm on the invasions of the desk
and warehouse merchants in cities
against OH country merchants. One
thing sure, | am not going to assist
in making the government party to
it."
Congressman Haugen, also of Iowa,
said in talk at a gathering of his
constituents: 1.-THE home merchant.
is home builder. an upbuilder of
the town and community. a taxpayer,
a liberal contributor to all public, re-
ligious and charitable enterprises.
am opposed to the parcels post. and op-
posed to the United States going into
the freight business for the sole bene-
at of these gluttonous, mammoth con.
cerns.n
Governor Folk, of Missouri, in an
address before the retail Merchants
association of that state, said: 81 dc
not believe in the mail order citizen.
lt(is better that we should have 9
thousand towns than one large city.
If place is good enough for a man
to make his money in, it certainly
should be good enough for him &c
