BROKE MONEY0RDER RECORD
Denison Postofflce Sells Sixty Orders
on Monday Making New Record

The money order sales at the Deni-
son postoffice on Monday of this week
reached an even sixty. This was eight
more than the previous high mark
made several years ago.
The amount of the orders was s33s
and Uncle Sam collected little
over 1925 in fees. This does not look
as if our people were bankrupt. In
the registry department the Denison
postof1ice is also making a new record
for the six months work. BY the way
the SAFE way to send your Xmas
packages is by registered mail, the fee
is only eight cents.

Messrs Huntington and Rudd have
erected at Dow City a fine roller skat-
ing rink and the young people down
there are finding plenty of amuse-
ment. AS there is no rink at Deni-
son it has been suggested that group
of our young people go down to Dow
City some evening and try the rink
there. They can go down at AS on
the Illinois Central and return on the
same road at 1917. The people of
Dow City are very liberal in attending
entertainments at Denison and we
know it would be appreciated if there
was some reciprocity shown by the
patronage of the Dow City rink.
County Treasurer Evers says he is
pretty busy this month even if taxes
are coming in slowly. There is much
work to do to get ready for the Janu-

the county funds are now quite low,
between eight and ten thousand dol
lars being on hand. We do not argee
with him in politics and we have not
changed in our opinion that the county
ought to get interest on its funds. but
we must confess that he is attending
to business in good shape.

BEER AND WORK.

1t comes as a decided surprise that
$50 men employed in the shops of the
Rogers Locomotive Works at Pater-
son, n. j., have struck because of an
order prohibiting beer from being
brought into the shops. The surprise
is not that the men have struck for
their beer. There is nothing that the
beer drinker stickles for with such
foolish pctulance as his beer. He
may endure patiently unresentfully
sneers at his honesty and truthfulness
Sights upon his wife and children, and
insults to his nationality, but any in
reference with his beer rouses him
an establishment of the grade of the
Rogers Locomotive Works should
have ever tolerated the bringing in of
beer The rigid exclusion of all liquors
from the offices and shops has been
the rule of nearly every frst-class fac
stantly being made more absolute
This is not due to any temperance
principles. but is based upon economic
reasons. Exact experience for long
years has demonstrated that man
who drinks is not only an inferior
workman, but that he is dangerous
to himself, shop, the machinery and
his feilow-wOrkmen. Even in Ger
many, where beer drinking was oncc
almost religion, the railroads have
found that they have far fewer acct
dents and injuries when their men alb
stain from beer. For this excellent
reason the German railroads are all
coming TO supply their people with
tea, coffee and chocolate, and repress
beer drinking as far as possible. Beer

FOLK AS FAvoRIrE SON.

Gov. Folk, of Missouri, is being push
ed forward as favorite son for the
Democratic nomination, but, as Shak-
spere would say, there may be daggers
in the mems smiles who look favorably
upon this movement. That is, the poll
ticians of the old regime, who were SO
badly shaken up by Folks election, are
believed to be most enthusiastic for him
now, in order to get him so committed
to his Presidential candidacy as to put
him out of the way of Senator Stone for
reelection. They have not liked his
reforms little bit, and are eager to
land hmifon The shelf, but his having
the great body of Missouri Democrats
behind him makes his handling mat
ter of the utmost delicacy and skill.
The Presidential bee seems to be the
only prospect of relief. If the Gov
ernor should show any desire to have
his namel presented to the National
he would not fail to get the
solid support of his State delegation.
Whether it would give him a more per-
support than that which Cru

grave question.

TR0URIE IN ZION.

The continued descriptive troubles in
Zion are a,stropg object lesson as to the
impracticahilitS of Socialism. While it
formed according to the precepts of
modern Socialism, yet it was Socialism
on far higher and more practicable
basis thant any which has been taught
by the advocates of that system 1t had
that powerful influence which has made
what little. successes the socialistic idea
has ever achieved That is, it was bound
together by religious feeling, which is
always far the most potent amalgamat-
ing force which can be invoked. With all
of Dowie's faults, he was man of high
executive ability and built up a COM
munity on better business principles
than have been suggested in any social
istic scheme. 1t was bound to fail, OF
course, but it had a better chance OF
success than any other which has been
lieyed ny those in the colony and out
side that Voliva, one of the prominent
men in the colony. would carry it on
and achieve success by avoiding the pit
falls and rocks which had ruined
Dowie Now it seems that Voliva has
met the usual fate of leaders in these
socialistic experiments and his efforts to
put the colony on business basis have
brought down upon him the strong
est condemnation. Three of his assocl-
ates, and next to him the most promi-
nent men in Zion, have formally de-
nounced him as traitor and dema-
cog and secured his expulsion from the
direction of the community. 1t is said
that Voliva has not following of more
than dozen persons. The United
States Circuit Court has recognized
Deacon John A. Lewis as the legitimate
successor of Dowie in control of the
colony, and he must be recognized as
such in all future proceedings. OF
course, he will not be long in going the
way that Voliva has been sent, and the
ruinous end of Zion City is in sight.

MONUMENT TO GEN. RosEcRANs.

During the Memorial Day exercises
at Arlington, the members of the Army
of the Cumberland were painfully
struck by the absence of any monument
or hitting designation to the grave of
Gen. Rosecrans With all the criticisms
upon Gen. Rosecrans he had a genius
for war. All who served in the Army
of the Cumberland have a distinctly
warm side for "Old Rosey," who made
such magnificent history for the army
and gave it its victory of Stone River
and its magnificent strategic advance
upon Chattanooga by which the possess
sion of that gate city was secured
There is much talk among them as to
the propriety of erecting suitable
monument and this will possibly soon
take shape in an effective movement.
The National tribune., 1907-06-06

tenn which. altho it has been fiercely
assailed for years, is demonstratably
far surprising that of any other coun-
try. An analogous system will now be
established for the railroads and n
share of stock or a bond will have the
same prima facie value to every pur-
chaser that a bank note has. which will
be of the utmost benefit for the whole
country. The men who are opposing
this system are in the same class as
those who fought so bitterly against the
adoption of our present banking system.

At the 41st Annual Encampment of
Rev. Samuel FalIows was unanimously
indorsed for -in-Chief. Com
rade Charles A. Partridge says:
"Bishop" Fallows is u. splendid com
rade, with fine military record, having
time, and subsequently as commander
of a Wisconsin regiment, in which he
won the rank of Brisadier-General."
Comrade Failows was first Lieutenant
Colonel of the 40th Wis, and then

helped raise the 49th Wis, of which he
became Colonel and was brevetted a

DISCHARGES FROM THE GOVERN
MENT PRINTING OFFICE.

There is much feeling in G.. A. r.
circles in Washington over the nunler-
Gus discharges of veterans, veterans
widows and daughters from the Gov
eminent Printing Office by Public
Printer Stillings. This came as a griev-
Gus surprise upon the heels of the Pres
ident's assurances to G. A. r. Com
mittee which visited him recently.
Many of those discharged we're
among the Oldest employees. and had
been hitherto regarded as among the
best.
The following five veterans we're
among the latest to fall under the ak:
Henry T. Houck, 7th and 10th Md.
Member of Meade Post. Had been in
the office 80 years.
John H. Frederick, 7th Pa. and Lieu
tenant, 214th Pa. Member of George
H. Thomas Post. Ten years in Gov
eminent Printing Office, during six
years of which he was Assistant Fore
man.
w. H. Moran, Cd Battalion D. C.
Thirty years in the office. Member of
Kit Carson Post.
Arthur Baker.
VIM. Scott.
These dismissals are regarded as a
assumed the office.
