Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1907-01-23

Last week Frank Lowry, son of J.
j. Lowry, received notice from Sena-
tor Dolliver that he had recommended
him for appointment as midsliipman
in the United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis. The announcement
was mt exactly a surprise to the young
man and his friends, as he had passed
the mental examination required for
entry in Washington last June, at
which time he visited Senator Dolli-
yer and no doubt received some as
surance that he would be recon-
mended for appointment. 1t will be
necessary for him to pass a physical
examination, which will be taken
some time the coming summer.

With a bullet through his brain

With a bullet through his brain
and still alive with chances of re-
covery is the experience of Alva
Stone, IA years old, of Strawberry
Point, who shot himself while out
hunting near Edgewood. The boy
was found by his mother, who
thought him dead, but after restora-
tives were used he rallied, and is
now expected to live. The ball en-
tered the skull in front of the left
ear and passed out nearly in the
center of the crown of the head.

WILL BE W. J. BRYAN
The Nebraskan to be Thrice
 the Democratic Nominee
TOM TAGGART'S HOUSE PARTY
T ariff Will be the Leading
 Issue of the Next Campaign

Tom Taggart gave house party to a number of members of the Democratic national com- mittee at his home ct French Lick Springs, Indiana, last Fri day.
 It was almost, if not quite, the unanimous opinion of the party that William J. Bryan will be the candidate and the that tariff will bo the issue of the Democrats in 1908.
 The convention to name the candidate and make the platform will be held at either Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, Louisville or Cincinnati. That matter is an open one, and the city that does the most hustling will win. It will be definitely decided when the committee meets in Wash ington, Dec. 12.
 It is the view of the committee men that Bryan is to be the can- didate by default. The Nebras- kan has simply been conceded the place since he announced last week that he WAS receptive candidate, because no one else has shown disposition to fight.
 Senator Dubois of Idaho says that the Republicans of the west as we'll as Democrats are for Bryan, or at least for some one besides Roosevelt or any candi- date named by him.
 Straight enough, either Chair man Taggart of Indiana nor Com mitteeman Roger c. Sullivan of Illinois will be against Bryan. The reason is plain. Both want to go back on tho national con- mittee. Taggart in person or by proxy. By nominating Bryan they figure they will be able to control their state organizations, the lat ter being Sullivan's particular object. But coneeding Bryan the nomination, the committee men here insist that his plat form must be edited especially for any reference to government ownership. The tariff, they say, will be safe issue.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT Financial Stringency Effect
 on Next National Campaign BRYAN VS. ROOSEVELT POLICY
Confidence Only Star of Hope
 for Continued Prosperity

Talk at this particular time as to who will be the next presi idcnt of the United States, as a remedy for the financial situation, is sll idle. The restoration of confi- oence can best be solved by the American people by acting from purely patriotic motives and act ing all together.
 The Memphis Com mercial Ap- peal, one of the leading Demo- cratic papers of the south, has well said the following in it's edi toral columns recently:
 "Mr. Bryan's virtual an- nouncement of lis candidacy came at a time that can hardly be con- sidered propitious. The finan- cial situation has been a sourc of pre- occupation in mems minds. They have hardly been in mood to consider things political. In times like these, however, those who are. thinking about Mr. Roosevelt's successor seem to be thinking of man who is almost the exact opposite of Roosevelt and of Bryan. MT. Roosevelt has made just the kind of president that many people thought Bryan would make.
 "We have repeatedly said that W did not hold Mr. Roosevelt re : sponsiole for the recent panic and it's present aftermath. But it would be idle to deny that there are plenty of people in the country who do not agree with us. The American Business Man of Chicago, for in- stance, declares that the Big Stick is not means of remedial efficiency but weapon of de- struction, and it declares that tho president is directly responsible for the industrial and financial unrest. The Paris Matin holds the president responsible, and many of the most reputable papers of the East (some of them Republican, assert, that he has contributed mora to bring on chaos than any other influence in the country. We have on our desk now little volume entitled. 'The Roosevelt Panic of 1o07.' The president himself has said that in the event of hard times, he was apt to become tho most unpopular man in the country"
 Now looking at these facts so we'll analysed by the Commercial Appeal, it is very doubtful whether Mir. Roosevelt would be as available as some other man

for all costs.

bondmer for all costs.
 Still not being satisfied Me- Loud appealed his case from the judgemnt of the Country Court to the Circuit Court, but he failed to appear and prosecute his case and judgment was given by Judge Naples against McLoud and his bondmen for all cost laid out and expended by Russell.
 The cost arising from an election contest is necessarily considerable from tho fact that so many witnesses are generally used, and while no one item of cost is very large, yet the numerous interested parties make the suit of more than usual im- portance.
 From the complaint filed in the injunction suit it is shown that the bondmen do not consider that they are bound for witness fees, the serving of witnesses, or of the depositions, but only for such costs as actually occurred before the court. In the County Court where the case was on trial so long, strange to say, it appears that no court costs of any char acter ever found their way to the records, not even a fee for the transcri pt to the Circuit Court that County Clerk Joe Fancher fur nished McLoud when he ap- pealed his case. Default havin g been made by McLoud in the cir- cult court, the costs there only amounted to S3.85, and this amount only the bondmen seem willing to pay.
 An execution for the costs of the witnesses, etc., was issued not long since and placed in the hands of Sheriff Carroll and the present suit is for the purpose ol staying his hand and Judge Naples has granted a temporary restraining order until the bond- men can have day in court to show that they ought not to pay the costs in this contest case. The suit will come up for final hearing at the February term of the court at Berryville, and on account of the many interested parties throughout the county the case will be watched with more than usual interest.

in his party. The people don't get a headache reasoning these questions out. They leap to con . clusions. Mir. Cleveland was president in 1893. There was a panic in 1893. According to the swift popular way of reasoning, these two things were intimately, related, and the panic of 1893 was the result of Cleveland's be- ing president. Mr. Roosevelt is president now. There has been panic. That is in brief the way a people collectively reasons. Very primitive and very il- logical, you will say, but fact nevertheless.
 We. have no idea that Mir. Roosevelt will be the next Repub- lican candidate for president. On the night of the election three years sgo, Mir. Roosevelt made the following announcements:
 'I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and what I have tried to do. appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence im- poses upon me, and 1 shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it.
 "On the 4th of March I shall have served three and half years, and this three and half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms re- gards the substance and not the form, and under no circum- stances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination"
 There can be no doubt about this language. MT. Roosevelt does not merely say that he will under no circu instances be a candidate, but that he will not accept 8 nomination. Of course, it is argued that if he should be nominated by exclamation he should hardly decline; but was not his declaration made to meet just such an emergency? There is no reason to believe that he will not during the next six months reiterate his determina- tion. Furthermore, under pre- vailing conditions there is un- questionably large proportion of the members of his party who will literally take him at his word.
 Looking then at the facts as they are, the chances are that the people of the United States will want for their next chief a man of a different temperament, a man like the late William Mckinley, or like Gov. Hughes or Secretary Root.
 In discussing the matter so ably the Commercial Appeal further adds:
 "We have very high regard for Mir. Bryan as a man; but we very seriously doubt whether he is the Man of the Hour. The in- dicationa are that the people want less radicalism, better ball.

REFUSE TO PAY COSTS
Bondmen of John McLoud
 File a Suit of Injunction
THE SHERIFF IS RESTRAINED
Another Chapter to be Added
 to Contest for Circuit Clerk

Annother chapter has been added to the McLoud- Russell contest case by the filing of an injunction suit against A. J. Russell, who has judgment against John McLoud and his bondmen for the costs expended in the contest suit brought against Russell last year by Me- Loud.
 The injunction suit was filed on last Saturday by J. P. Fan cher in behalf of the bondmen, and seeks to restrain Sheriff Frank Carroll from making a levy on the property of McLoud's s bondmen, who are w. H. Fan cher, a prominent stockman; w. H. Hodge, a well-known merchant, and Henderson Jack son, twice Collector of the county and a present aspirant for Co unty Clerk.
 This case, in one form or an other, has been before the people of Carroll county so long that it may be a little stale to eome people, but The Tribune has no delicacy in publishing such de- velopments in it as will be news to it's readers.
 It will be remembered that A. J. Russell was elected Circuit Clerk of this county at the Sep tember election in 1906; that John McLond, his opponent, im- mediately filed a petition with the Board of County Election Commissioners, asking that Polo and Kings River township 8, which had cast large majorities for Russell, be thrown out and alledging fraud of the grossest character in Hickory, Prairie, Liberty, Yocum, Omega and Long Creek townships, asking that a recount of those townships be had; that during the pendan- cy of this petition before the Election Board the box contain ing the ballots from the various precincts of the county was open- ed and changes made in the votes of the two candidates in eight townships sufficiently to show McLoud's election by hand some majority.
 In the trial of this case before the Commissioners McLoud was represented by an array of attor- neys including almost the entire bar of the county, but when the ensures and various changes of l the vote of Russell to the vote of McLoud was so plainly shown to the Election Commissioners, Tom Morris, Nick Kizer and Jeff Harbert, the certificate of cleo = ton was given to Russell, he being represented by that saga : cious pioneer of the North Arkan i. sas bar, Col. G. J. Crump, who is equal to whole regiment o1 lawyers when it comes to com batting dishonesty in men and measures and rascality in county and state.
 Being unsuccessful before the Commissioners, Nc Loud, by his attorneys Fancher & Brad fielc and James 6 Fuller, renewed the contest case in the County Court. County Judge Tom H. Fancher declared him. self to be disqualified t,t try the case and Governor Jeff Davis appointed Attorney VHeorge M Baines Special Judge to try the case.
 Pending the trial both parties took more than a hundred depo. sitions, summoning witnesses from the various townships al } over the county, necessitating tht } services of three sterpographers After several delays the eas' } finally came to trial on Oct } 25, 1906, ending on the 26, wher

JOHN ROWE BURNED.
Sustains Injuries In Distinguishing
Flames At His Home.

Rapid work of few level-headed
neighbors checked the rapidly spread
ing flames which threatened the des-
truction of the John l.. Rowe home
at 42S North Market street about ten
o'clock Sunday evening and prevented
what would undoubtedly have been II
serious confiagration. Mr.. Rowe sus-
tanned severe and painful burns as
the result of the fire.
Just before retiring for the night
Mr.. Rowe accidently dropped glass
lamp in the north bed room on the
first floor of the home and with a
crash the glass broke and scattered
the oil over the room, carrying with it
the destructive flames. In a flash the
whole room was a mass of flames and
smoke and, in a desperate effort to
save a portion of the property in the
room, Mr.. Rowe picked up small
trunk filled with clothing, to which the
fire had soon communicated, and
dragged 1t out of the house onto the
lawn. 1t was already too well ignited
to be saved, however, and the flames
licked his hands and inflicted serious
burns. His hair was badly singed
and his face received numerous Bills
tiers from the severe heat.
Neighbors hearing the commotion
quickly rushed to the scene of the
fire and assisted in every way possible
to save the property from destruction.
Miss Lillian Hughes turned in the
fire alarm from her home, next door
north, but before the department had
reached the place the rapid work OF
a bucket brigade, operating between
the pumps in the kitchen and the back
porch and the bedroom, had been
quite effective and the flames were
easily quenched with the chemicals
The contents of the bedroom, how.
ever, were totally destroyed, as were
also the clothes in the adjoining
closet.
When the accident happened, Miss
Lena Rowe, who is stenographer fol
the ]. F. & w. r. Lacey law offices
was taking bath in her room up
stairs. When she heard the commo
ton she rushed down to the scene OF
the fire with her clothes in her hands
and was about in the act of throwing
them on the flames with the intention
of smothering them. She was slightly
burned, but escaped without serious
injuries, as did also her mother, who
was in the kitchen at the time the
lamp fell. Little damage was done
to the house or furnishings outside Of
the one room and the extent of the
loss will not be great.

THIEVES ARE THICK,
The Secreting Of Money Is Tempt
ing Many Robbers.

The increased number of robberies
throughout the country is no doubt due
to the fact that some people are hiding
their cash at home in place of putting
it in banks. Safes are being blown
n many isolated places, and stores and
houses are being robbed in every direc-
lion. Suspicious characters are noted
in all big towns, and few of this class
are under the surveillance of the po-
lice even here in Oskaloosa.
Some one tried to effect an entrance
1T the Ross Brown home last night,
but was scared away. Providers have
been observed around other houses in
he same neighborhood.
Thieves and house-breakers are thick
enough at any time, but they will be-
come more prevalent if bait in the
shape of cash is left for them. 1t is
poor policy to have much money
about the house.
