The Corning Union-Republican re-
Gently published an article in defense
of Congressman Hepburn, replying to
an article IN Des Moines paper which
stated that Hepburn had appointed
many republican editors as postmasters
in their towns. The Union-Republican
denies this and publishes a list of the
counties showing that but few editors
are holding postofiices. We notice that
Decatur county is referred to as having
no editor postmasters. This is in
correct. The postmaster of Leon,
Willard E. Stookey, was editor of the
Leon Journal at the time he received
his appointment, and is still part owner
of the Decatur County Journal. Post
master Dan Anderson, of Lamont, the
second best office in Decatur county is
the owner of the Lamont Chronicle. II
the Union-Republican is as badly in
error regarding the postmasters in
other counties as it is in reference to
Decatur county, but little reliance can
be placed on it's statement.

AS OTHERS THINK.
Everyone in Leon Has Right to
His Own Opinion

While everyone has right to his own
opinion, yet it is wise to always con-
slider what others think and profit by
their experience.
Nothing makes life SO miserable, OF
interferes so widely with the useful.
ness of the average American, as indi.
gestion, and it is we'll for us to give
fair consideration to what others think
about this remarkable affection.
LIP. Van werden is positive that in
Mi-o-na stomach tablets he has an
absolute cure for indigestion and the
many disagreeable symptoms that fol-
low this disease, such as distress after
eating, coated tongue, bad taste in the
mouth, dizziness, f1atulence, nervous
ness and debility.
His action in selling Mi-o-na on a
guarantee to refund the money unless
it cures, shows plainly his belief in
the value Of this remedy. He takes
all the risk and there will be no charge
whatever for Mi-ona unless you are
satisfied that it has relieved you of
indigestion.

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign of 1908 is already OPEN
ing, although the convention is some
six months off. The first banquet after
the announcement of Mr.. Bryan's will
ingness to be a candidate, if the demo-
cratic voters desired it, was held at
Lafayette, Ind. Eight hundred men
sat at the tables and some three thou
sand men and women occupied the
galleries. Nearly all the leaders of the
Indiana democracy were present, a
number of them taking part in the
program. The belief was every where
expressed that Indiana would be in the
democratic column in 1908.
On November rs the United Demo-
cracy of Washington held banquet at
the Raleigh hotel; where more than five
hundred were seated at the tables and
as many more were unable to obtain
tickets owing to the limited capacity
of the dining room. 1t was said to have
been the most successful political ban
quet ever held in Washington, and
there is no doubt about the hopeful
spirit that pervaded the democracy
there. Hon. John Sharp Williams, lead
er of the minority in the house of rep
resentatives, was one of the speakers
at this banquet.
At the Iroquois club in Chicago a
luncheon was given on the 9th of De-
cember, at which the various factions
of the party were represented and har-
mony prevailed. On the evening of the
9th a banquet was held at Freepcrt,
ILL.,, which was in many respects re-
markable. The city has between
twenty and twenty-five thousand in
ho hi nfc onH ia IF tho fnxx, oitinc
in northern Illinois which has a demo-
cratic majority. Crowded meetings
we're held at the opera house and at
the court house, and then six hundred
and ninety persons sat down to ban
menced little after twelve and con-
cluded at a quarter of five in the morn
ing. When it is remembered that a
considerable number OF the banqueters
were republicans, the interest shown
certainly indicates change in senti-
ment since 1896. Freeport is the home
of Hon. Douglas Patterson, the brilliant
young leader of the minority in the
Illinois legislature, and Mr.. Patterson
acted as postmaster at this banquet.
On the evening Of the 9TH banquet
was held in Omaha under the auspices
Of the Dahlman Democracy, club
named after Hon. James G. Dahlman, the
present mayor Of Omaha and the present
Nebraska member of the national COM
mittee. Something over twelve hun
dred persons sat down to the banquet
and several thousand heard the speech
es from the gallery. This was the larg-
est banquet ever held in Nebraska, and
probably the largest in the west. Mr..
Bryan spoke at each of these banquets
and was gratified to find the democrats
so enthusiastic and so ready to begin
the campaign work for 1908.

GIVE THE DONKEY HIS DUE.

The patient and unassuming donkey,
forced upon the Democratic party as
it's emblem, has found valiant cham
pion in the person of William ]. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is not ashamed of the
donkey. In fact, he is proud Of the
critter. 1.-THE donkey he said in an
address at Washington, sis really bet
ter emblem than the elephant for a
party. This was impressed on my mind
when l visited other countries.
found that the donkey is resident Of
every country, and that everywhere he
is serving the people, and that, too, the
common people. He is not an aristo-
crat. Whether you visit the mountains
of the west, the densely populated re-
gions of the Holy Land, you will find the
donkey-patient, persisten mt and always
at work. The elephant, on the contrary,
is only to be found in certain ATTITUDES
and is seldom seen except on dress
parade. If greatness is to be measured
by service instead of by size or appear
ance, the position of honor must be
given to the faithful donkey. AS the
democratic party is becoming univer-
sal party and is everywhere justifying
it's claims to the confidence of the peo-
pie by the service it is rendering them,
it is entirely appropriate that it should
prefer the donkey to the elephant for
an emblem"
Give the donkey it's due. 1t is true
friend Of the people. 1t is not proud.
1t makes no vain boasts Of ancestry.
1t is not shirker and stands for the
dignity Of labor. Modest, unassuming,
faithful, simple and democratic in it's
taste, it affords an emblem of which no
party need be ashamed and Of which
any party that stands for popular gov
eminent may we'll be proud.

Good farming, based on sound prin-
ciples of science and practice, was
never more important or profitable
than now. The Homestead, an agricul-
tural and live stock paper published
every Thursday at Des Moines, Iowa, is
the best exponent of good farming.
The Homestead is edited by farmers
who live upon and operate their own
farms right here in the middle west, so
that their teachings are thoroughly
practical. 1t has departments devoted
to horticultural, poultry, sheep, dairy,
veterinary, laws affecting farmers, cur
rent events, house and home, Sunday
school lesson, editorial comment, live
farm gossip, etc.; and it's contributors
include able and successful farmers and
experiment station experts through out
the west. Many farmers in this vicin-
ity are already subscribers for The
Homestead and all should be; as what
ever adds to the practical knowledge Of
the farmer increases the value of land
and enhances the prosperity Of the
community. We take subscriptions
for this splendid farm paper at this
Office; and, by special arrangement with
the publisher, can give you the low
subscription rate for it in connection
with The Leon Reporter Of $3.50 in
Guiding the Farm Gazette and The
HOmemaker.

In The panic of 1893 the banks of the
country issued no clearing house
certificates and the banks paid all de.
mands just as long as they could and
when they run short they closed their
doors. If the same thing had been
done during the past few weeks there
would be more bank failures than there
were in 1898. But the banks have
issued clearing house certificates and
refused payment of deposits and have
moved along and the country will be
better off because such a course has
been resorted to. %What caused 80
many failures in 1898 was that the
banks paid just as long as they could
and like all panicy times could not
realize on their paper and the result
was they went to the wall. Many
banks that had been doing a legitimate
banking business were forced to sus-
pend and many of them never opened,
whereas if they had issued these clear
ing house certificates and refused to
pay all demands as is being generally
done at this time, the failures would
have been comparatively few with the
large number that we had. These
clearing house certificates are not good
in Europe. Coming Free Press. Il

KNOX ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

Senator Knox has announced his
candidacy for the republican nomination
for the presidency. When analysed his
speech will be found to contain no
statement of policy, no promise of
remedy. 1t eulogizes the republican
party, praises the president and eX-
presses an infinite faith in republican
leaders. Those who trust the repub-
lican party as implicitly as he does will
like the speech, but what of those who
want relief and demand something?

the increase of $100,99S,000 in esti-
