Turn Allison OUT" exclaims the
Parkersburg Eclipse. 1T would be a
crime shouts a standpat newspaper. In
political way Allison is entitled to
what he can get. no more. no less. II
sentiment is mixed with politics Ali
son will retain his seat. because he Is
Iowas grand old mani. If the people
desire to mix little business sense
with their political fodder some young
ey man will be chosen as his successor
at the polls next summer. That is all
there is to the present controversy"

Dodge Messenger.
Asserting that "the surest test that
a man is old is when he shows inabil-
ity to recognize those great movements
which, from small beginnings gather
Roadway and force nations onto high
er planes. The man who remains
young, whatever the number of his
years, recognizes them in their begin
nings, ands them and, if in public
station where he can help. lends his
influence to their successful establish

"The crux of the movement now on

which the least excuse can be given.
The gambler is a leech He produces
nothing; he absorbs a great deal. He
labors not. He preys on toll: he is a
detriment to business. He is moral
leper There is nothing in him or his
business to commend. A fine specimen
of manhood. indeed. is the fellow able
bodied. who never does days labor
and who absorbs the money other men
have honestly earned. Suppress his
trade and compel him to earn a live
