suMPTUARY REGULATIONS.

For long series of years the de-
mocratic party in Iowa made much pa
rade over its opposition to sumptuary
laws meaning thereby antagonism
to the liquor laws of the state. The
personal liberty cry served the
party we'll. bringing in to the ranks
almost the solid German vote of the
state. and electing Boies for two
terms. In recent years the leading
blanks of the Iowa platform have
made no reference to the liquor traffic,
and last year the candidate of the
party for governor was radical anti
liquor man. In the meantime the
great democratic states of the south
have one by one become fully as radi-
cal against the saloons. and distil-
leries as ever Iowa. Kansas or Maine.
No longer can the democratic ora
tor proclaim that his party stands for
.'personal liberty meaning that it
opposes prohibition or stringent regu-
lation. At the present time there
are more democratic states having
strict prohibitory laws than republic
can. Thus. another of the mushroom
issues of the democratic party is
swept away. and it must stand in
Iowa. on its opposition to republican
prosperity. and general fault finding
with what the republicans may do.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

We see in public print that POST
master General. Meyer. will in his
annual report to congress advocate the
establishment of the postal savings
system. We we'll remember that Mr..
J. Fred Meyers the long time editor
of this paper was an earnest support
er of the plan, and was able to give
weighty reasons for it. The great
problem of the situation lays in pres
enting good plan for making use of
the immense amount of money which
would come rushing from the people.
Should i. be used in buying up the
railroads. and the telegraph line: or
to make great internal improvements |:
or to run the government. thus les
soning the tariff and the internal re-
venue collection When the problem
of what to do with the peoples
money is satisfactorily answered.
then the postal saving bank will soon
be assured in this country. 1t can
not be boarded up. The new de-
parture. for this country. would not
make less the amounts of the deposit
in the banks. as experience shows.
The interest paid by the government
would be less than the banks would
offer. so that when the sum became
large. the owners would withdraw
and put their money where it would
pay better. The postal saving bank
is to encourage small deposits. the
men who have money by the thous-
ands would not use the government
for banking house. The opinions of
the Postmaster General will be anx
iously looked for by those interested
in this most needed step for the ac-
commodation of the common people.

OUR MISSIONARY LETTER

We hope our thoughtful readers
will not fail to take time to read with
care the letter printed in our issue of
this date written by Miss Glassburner
who is missionary to China. 1t is
simply letter written to the dear
ones at home. breathing forth the
thoughts and longing of her inmost
heart. 1t was not designed for the
public. but for mother and father
whom the daughter knows love her,
and sympathize with her every feel
ing. Some parts seem almost too
sacred for the public eye but the
GIassburner family are we'll known

now near Arion for twenty-five years.

MISS Mamie Glassburner is one of
the noble women of the earth. She
feels what she is sacrificing. in being
in foreign land among another race
of people from her kindred. yet she
counts it all joy to do this. for the
cause of the religion of Jesus Christ.
The issolation from friends and loved
ones of her own language. turns the
heart to communing with itself. to

CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.

Milford Mail-As for Mr.. Funk
not being candidate for governor.
we can say that he is as much can
didate as he has been at any time
during the past year. In fact we be-
lieve that his prospects grow brighter
as each day passes. He has not said
at any time that he would be can
didate. neither has he said that he
would not be. We believe that
should he say the word. simply an
nounce that he would be a candidate
that he could have the nomination.
There is no man in the state who
stands higher in the councils of the
party. or one who is more respected.
His public life has been an open book
and is one that any man in the state
might emulate. There is no man in
the state whom his friends would be
more pleased to see honored by being
made governor than Hon. A.. B. Funk.
Des Moines Register and Leader
No man, in Iowa certainly is more en-
titled to the reorganization of nomin-
alton. and no man in Iowa would
make better governor.
Under our primary system there is
no way of testing public sentiment
but by shylng castor into the ring.
1t is with Senator Funk to decide. If
his name should be announced by
authority, the field would doubtless
be his on the progressive side. On
the other hand if the name of Senator
Garst or of some other man of equal
standing is announced. the field will
be to large extent foreclosed.
The above comments from the Mil
ford Mail near Spirit Lake the home
of Hon. A. B. Funk and from the
Register and Leader at Des Moines
show that the progressive leaders
of Iowa have not yet settied on the
man they will support for governor
next year The Des Moines paper
says that Mr.. Funk would receive the
progressive strength if he will but
announce himself candidate. This
would shut Mr.. Cart out. 1t also ex-
presses doubt whether Mr.. Garst is
an announced candidate. AS matter
of fact Mr.. Garst is as much an an
nounced candidate for governor as
Mr.. Cummins for senator. The close
friends of both men have said they
were in the race. and the republicans
of lie state understood IT. so. If Mr..
Funk is put forward by his friends it
will be to contest for the nomination
with Senator Garst and as common
sense teaches that two progressive
candidates running would result in
the defeat of both, MIR. Funk will not
enter the contest without the with
drawal of Mr.. Gars5 AS Senator
Garst says he is is the race to stay.
it would seem that the progressive
friends must support him.
Senator Garst is man we'll quail
| fed for the governorship of Iowa
He is thoroughly familiar with state
affairs because of his long service in
the senate and term as lieutenant
governor. He is good business
man. popular with his neighbors and
friends. He made strenuous fight
for the nomination of Governor Cum
Minis for another term and so can
with confidence expect his support

ISOLATED with TsE COMMONWEALTH

The County Commissioners last
week appointed list takers and as
SCISSORS, and this calls to mind that it
will soon be time for the tax PAYERS
to give in their property for taxation.
Heretofore there has always been
complaint that people put too low val
ue on their property. Men who were
III good circumstances a few DAYS be-
fore, suddenly become poor. Men
VINO are honorable and conscientious
ordinarily, seem to be without honor
or conscience when it comes to piv-
ing IN their property for taxation.
Let us hope that this year that the
taE payers will give in their property
at It's tr1e value and there will be
no room for complaint.

the bout was drawn, but all the re-
ports of the mill are to the effect that
Ketchell won all the way and had
Thomas on the verge of a knockout
several times during the bout.
Naturally Thomas has his excuse. He
was overconfdent and was careless.
Possibly his condition was not good,
but in any event he got good beating,
and he was fortunate not to have the
decision against him. The bout took
place at the Phoenix Athletic club,
Marysville, Cal.
Ketchell dropped Thomas with a
right to the jaw in the eleventh round,
and Thomas had to hold ON to Ketchell
to stay the round out Again in the
fourteenth Ketchell landed hard on
Thomas and had the San Franciscan
in great trouble, but he managed to
stay the twenty rounds and at the fin
iSh was going welt, although the other
hoy had the better of the fight and
should have received the decision.
Some people appear to think that If
they owe duty to others it is up to the
others to call and collect. .o..
