political suicide is inevitable.
Are the American people SO un-
conscious of their liberty that they
are Indifferent to the infringements
upon it? Everywhere are they reck-
lessly throwing away rights they pre-
tend to cherish, secured to them by
their forefathers after mighty strug-
giles and tremendous sacrifices. 4. By
long period Of general Indifference
they have allowed corrupt and unscru-
pulous men to sell away their rights
and privileges. The common people
must speedily awaken to these dangers
which threaten the republic or this
fair land must needs share the ter
rible fate of the commonweaIths which
have gone before, for these are the
evils which wrecked both Greece and
Rome. The time to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg is at hand. Brib-
berry and corruption have too long con-
trolled our destinies. Something
must be done to correct these evils,
if this nation is to march on repeat
ing and perpetuating the victories Of
peace and virtue.
The magnitude of the evil makes it
seem almost beyond remedy, yet these
dangers are traceable to the lack Of
civic virtue, and lie in the failure of
the general public to interest them
selves in the questions of the state.
If We would free ourselves of the ter
rors which beset us, it will be necessa-
ry to arouse and marshal public
opinion against them. An earnest ap-
peal will have to be made to the intel
hgence and to the hearts of American
citizens to pilot the ship Of state. A
higher conception of civic duty will
have to be cultivated, and those forces
which make for good government must
be nourished. The character of our
representatives must be raised and
bribery stripped Of every comfortable
cloak. We must purge corporations Of
corruption and fraud, curb the rapaci-
ty of greedy men, and destroy the
powerful influence of the lobbyists.
These conditions can only be changed
by an awakened public spirit, by
patriotism which will feel that a
country worth dying for in war is
worth working for in peace"
Courageous and upright manhood
must take command in politics. Ev
cry honest citizen must realize his
individual responsibility for the affairs
of the state and nation. He must be
loyal to his trust and earnest in his
allegiance. He should take his place
in the forefront of the battle exposing,
denouncing and combating with un-
flinching and unfaltering courage the
evils of his time, no matter who de-
fends them or what criticism he pro-
vokes. If he conquer he will receive
a more glorious reward than ever war
rior won, for he will not only secure
for his native land that freedom and
equality for which so many lives have
been sacrificed on the bloody fields Of
battle, but he will give to his country
a higher prosperity than has yet been
attained.
Political vigilance is the most i'm
portant duty Of citizen and the high

Mr.. Bryan is the most conspicuous
figure in American politics today. He
is more-he is a World Figure. His
views on men and things are awaited
with interest in foreign countries as
well as at home. THE COMMONER
is his medium of communication with
the world; but it is more than a per-
sonal organ, for it covers the whole
realm of political thought Hence, no
one, whether a follower or an oppo-
nent of Bryan's doctrines, can fail to

AS many as 1900 out OF town peo-
pie sat down at a monster q
in a tent, and then the money raising
campaign was taken up. The speak
ers were Bishop d. A. Goodsell, Sena-
tor Dolliver, Judge Scott M. Ladd and
DR.. w. S. Lewis. The purpose is to
clear the school Of it's Indebtedness
and raise an additional $3.50, 900, which
will bring still another $4,000 from
the board OF education Of the Metho-
dist church. This will give Morning
side an endowment of $400,0 600.
Because Senator Doiliver voted to
seat Reed Smoot, he met decided OPP
position in the election of lay dele
gates from the Northwest Iowa Meth
odist Episcopal conference. 1t was
expected he would get the high vote,
but his opponents sprung the name of
C. II. Beacham of Farnhamville from
the Fort Dodge district and nearly
cut the senator's vote in two, making
him low man.
Delivers friends got onto the plot
that had been Matched against him,
and by motion barred nominating
speeches. It had been planned by his
enemies to make him explain his
Smoot vote on the floor of the confer
ence.

Lose Too Much BY Credit.
Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, Sept. ga movement Is
on foot to inaugurate a complete cash
paying system among all dealers hand
ling food products, such as meat mar
ket men, grocers, those who deal IN
bakery goods, milk men, etc.
1t is claimed that If everybody pad
cash the price Of commodities entering
into the maintenance Of the table
would be materially reduced. This re-
duction according to one man, would
vary from 10 to 20 per cent, possibly
more.
The meat market men on the west
side Of the river some time ago paved
the way for this general movement
which is reported will be i~nauguratei
in the next few months. The meat
men claim tina the scheme has worked
to perfection, and that they have
been able to ruduce the price If all
kinds of meat.
The bane of the retail m ,rchaEt's

it he sinks his legitimate profits. His
losses are so great, in spite us tn ut
most care, THAT ne must aiioW consul
cradle for them. The new plan would
obviate this and the merchant would
have the equivalent of his products in
cash in his safe instead of on his
books.
A merchant who claims to know
says that thousands of dollars are lost
each year thru bad accounts. BY the
new system nothing would be sold ex-
cept what would be paid for.

Clarion, Sept. 23.-Clarion is having
her first experience with a strike. The
| boilermakers and machinists in the
shops of the C. G.. w. railway here,
went on a strike last week. Every
thing haG. been very quiet since they
went out, until Saturday. Friday the
company brought in nearly forty strike
| breakers, boilermakers and machin-
i lists, and the next day they went to
work in the shop and round house.
The company have rented the large
Gibbs house near the G. G. W. depot,
for the use of the new men. and it
looks now. as il SO far as Clarion shops

The strikers have been very we'll
behaved since they quit. but are pretty
well worked up over their places be-
ing filed by imported mechanics. 1t
is reported that there are some Pm
kerton men here, watching the turn OF
events.
The report tina the Great Western
might abolish its large central shops
| at OelW,ein on account of the labor
troubles experienced there caused
much comment in railroad circles here.
Many refuse to place much credence
in the story. but a few say that 1t Is
not unlikely. Local officials OF the
road have had no advices yet concern
inc the plan and will not talk about
the proposal to distribute the work

TO DROP PAY ROLL FRAUDS.
Great Western Will Not Push Pend
ina Prosecutions.


Special TO Ttmes-Tsepublican.
Waterloo, Sept. 23.-The Chicago
Great Western officials have decided
so it is reported, to dismiss charges
which may have been pending against
any of their former employees because
of completely in the pay check frauds
Prior to the time when he road
master at Reinbeck and a former
agent were arrested in this part OF
the state, discoveries of graft growing
out of section pay roll frauds were
made on an appalling scale-appall1ns
not so much because Of their amount
as because of their extent. 1t was as
certained that the rolls of the company
in the southern part OF the state mao
been padded also. and a former road
master and an agent were arrested
It is said however, that prosecutions
against these last two will be dropped,
and the matter will be allowed to rest
in the future. In other words lle
whole matter. so far as the company
is concerned, will be forgotten.
John b. Hollenhors Is now serving
a %three-year sentence in the peniten-
tiary for his part in he pay roll
frauds. He pleaded guilty and threw
himself on the mercy of the court, who,
however, was inclined to show little
mercy because he considered that Mr..
Hollenhors was one of the Originate
ors of the scheme to defraud the cons
pany. The court was inclined to view
more %leniently the part that the sec
ton foreman and former agent had
in the project. The court considered
that, being immature and young, they
were largely induced to become parties
to the fraud thru the solicitation or
influence OF the elder men.
But there are those who believe that
Hollenhors should not be made to pay
most of the debt OF punishment. Since
his incarceration at Anamosa Hollen-
hors has been a model prisoner. He
has beer accorded such privileges as
the prison officials may bestow. He
has been made a 'trusty' and his
three year will pass quickly.

TO TEST FEEDING Law.
United States Begins Action at Sioux

City for Violations.
Sioux City, Sept. 21.-United States
District Attorney Faville in the federal
court began suit in the name OF the
United States Of America against the
Sioux city Stock Yards Company, to
test thu, twenty-eight hour law. 1t is
alleged that cattle shipped from Ma
pleton by August Eeinow, on March
8, 1907, were allowed to go without
rest. feed or water, a longer period
than the law allows. Judgment for
$500 Is sought but what is more i'm
portant, upon the outcome of the case
probably hangs the Interpretation of
a federal statute. The point involved
is whether a stock yards company is
a common carrier, in the sense Of the
law.
