We actually heard a man sa,

he thought the Northwestern
had the best train service and
road bed of any railroad in the
middle west. We asked him to
repeat the sentence again for
fear that we had not heard
Alright. Usually people can
find someshing to kick about
the railroads, especially against
the Northwestern, and it was a
pleasure to hear a traveller
commend it. OF course the
Northwestern has a fine line
through here, and we all know
that we have a !ine system of
passenger trains in and out
every day, so that we can go
any direction without much de-
lay. The time seems at hand
when a corporation is mention
ed that there are men always
ready to say that they are rob
bers and thieves, but we must
remember that at times they
are of considerable service to
all of US. The Northwestern
road is putting in substantial
buildings and it seems their in
tention is to build here, which
will be of great help to Mis-.
souri, Valley, and we trust they
will keep up the good work.

fession," and others were favor

election to the presidency, and
perhaps by the time the election
arrives, the people of this coun-
try may conclude that the gov
eminent may survive without
either Taft or Foraker in the
presidential chair.
1t is very certain that no very
marked change is probable UNI
til after the meeting of the
next congress-, and the action
of that body may determine the
action of the people for choice
OF president. Any great effort
at this time to force choice for
that great office is cloves labor
lost" and the people will be in
a better condition to act in the
matter next year.
Let US all keep cool, keeping
an eye on congress, knowing
full we'll that more depends on
action than on idle promises,
that the next president will be
a man worthy the confidence
of the American people.
