HON. JN0. n. c. STOCKTON
Corrects Some inaccuracies in the Re-
port of his Speech in Oca!a
Saturday
Jacksonville. Jan. 20, 1908.

! JdChSollN lIlc, Jan. ~, l|VS.
Editor Star--Please permit me to
cal your attention TO a few inaccur-
i#cics made by your reporter in tax
ing down SYNOPSIS of the speech
made in your city on the 18th inst, and
| beg that you will kindly correct the
same. as | know that these inaccura-
cies were unintentional on the part of
Your reporter
! The reporter says that I said Il had
sympathy for the man who believed
his liberties were improved by the do
| ing away with drink said that
l had great sympathy for the man
who believed his liberties were being
infringed upon by the doing away with
! the open saloon.
In another place am reported as
saying THE trouble with the business
men is they are selfish and hide bound
as class, that their eyes can't see
anything but the almighty dollar"
said. the liquor question is not under
stood any more than the financial
question. There are very few bust
ness men who take time to consider
the science of money. the science of
government, or the necessity of gov
eminent. If they would carefully CAL
cuiate the enormous amount of mon
ey that is being spent for liquor in the
different communities in the state and
then compare it with the comparative
! " small amount Of revenue that is re-
ceived by the state, counties and
cities, they would arrive at the con-
clusion that it was a poor transaction
| from d business standpoint.
! In speaking about the liquor men of
Jacksonville your reporter says l said,
the liquor men were the men who
controlled the finances of the town
and owned large blocks of property
and had mortgages on the rest" l
said, 1.-The liquor men of Jacksonville,
as result of their large profits, were
the most prosperous class in the COM
munity and owned large blocks of
property and had mortgages on a
great deal more Of the property in the
city
/ regret that I did not have the
! pleasure Of personally seeing you when
! was in your city. l enjoyed my visit
there very much and was greatly i'm
pressed with your improvements, pros
perity and magnificent hard roads. l
am very much indebted to my friend,
Mr.. John Robertson for ride around
the city in his automobile.
Assuring you that l will appreciate
/ your making the above corrections, l
beg to remain, Very truly yours,
John N. G. Stockton.

GENIUS ON A SPIN.
Tnewjtt Observer

A mile minute in a baby buggy,
you say, is going some. Jesse. l beg
to present you a young twelve year
old lad who took the trip few days
ago across his fathers hay field. His
name is Johnny Dundan. His father
lives with him on a farm a few miles
north Of Dewitt Johnny came to
town Saturday to purchase few
yards of court plaster to be used in
patching up his face and hands which
were Jared loose when he ran against
the pasture fence in his airymobubble,
the baby carriage.
Johnny is an expert kite maker and
one day last week he was not very
busy and took few lathes. some
shingle nails and a bundle of wrap
ping paper and some flour paste and
got busy. When he had finished there
stood kite six feet tall in its stocking
feet trembling and auivering for a
fight thru the air. There had been
Just two balls of binder Irvine left after
harvest and Johnny got out requisi-
ton for the string and hitched it to
the kite
Whizz. Zip! Boom! Away she went.
The old hens and roosters in the yard
fell over in faint, but up went the
kite and Johnny kept on smiling.
When the end OF the rope came around
the kite was still unsatisfied and start
ed. leading Johnny across the lot He
attached himself to the barnyard fence
and eased to.
"This kite is something of daisy"
thought he It'll just hitch it up to
something and take q ride" The only
availabls vehicle was the infant wagon
and it was Immediately brought into
service He led it out the gate and
hitched UP his kite. It moved away
quietly and gently with Johnny proud
ly perched on the hurricane deck. The
wind turned on a few more pounds OF
pressure, and when Johnny hit the
fence about mile away he estimated
that he had been travelling about

NAUGHTY SPIRIT.

Iowa has by long usage grown so
habituated to standing first in COM
petitive exhibitions of agricultural
products of all kinds that when yes
terday's reports gave Iowa but two
firsts in the Omaha corn contest as
against six for Indiana and five for H.
linois. it was no wonder the news
headiner wrote it iowa Exhibits
Fall We have habit of taking it
all. Consequently less than most of
the firsts feels like failure.
Perhaps it will do us good. We have
become rather too cocksure of our
agricultural prominence and bump
will stimulate, not dishearten. We have
sent out fat cattle to the international
with justified expectation; welcomed
the swine and cattle Of other states
to our state fairs with hospltable
hands and calmly kept the bulk of
first premiums by right of conquest.
Farmer men have looked across the
state lines toward Iowa with both fear
and respect And we have taken an at
titude of being first as matter OF
course. Now comes Indiana. once
famous for hoop poles and notorious
as the home of the Indianapolis News
and simply wipes the earth with our
best corn It's hard but has it's touch
of salubrity.
There will be other corn contests. 1t
is good to know that Indiana and IL
linois corn is better than ours. 1t will
not long retain it's prominence. Give
us time to raise another crop.

HARRY EATON ALL RIGHT.

NNoileHdHuOdH SGIltuel IOSL.J
The CreSton Gazette made some
sighting remarks about the appoint
lnent of Fl. E. Eaton as commissioner
of pharmacy, saying that he was en-
ployed in an elevator ard his only re-
commentator was that he at one time
voted for Cummins. The Gazette man
should not be so hasty There is prob
ably no better qualified man in the
state for the position than Mr.. Eaton.
the only state university man on the
board. AS to his former alignment in
the party differences we have only to
say that the time has passed to bring
up such objections to any man. Mr..
Eaton was loyal republican in the re-
cent campaign, supporting the national
state and congressional ticket. Per-
sons who want a united party in the
future will quit talking about whether
a man was for Cunrnins or against
him. Mr. Cummins is a senator now
and represents the republican party of
Iowa, not any faction. Give him a
chance to make good.

CROMWELL REFuTEs.
No American Citizen Got One Cent Of
$4,000, 600.

New York, Dec. 11.-William Nell
son Cromwell, in an authorized state-
ment made public last night, makes
detailed answer to recent publications
regarding the purchase Of the Panama
canal by the United States. Mr.. Crom-
we'll quotes President Roosevelts dec
laration that the statement of the In.
dianapolis News that the United States
paid American citizens s40,000,0OO for
property that cost them only $12,00O,00
was false, and his further declaration
that the United States did not pay
one cent of that money to any Ameri-
can citizen. Cromwell also quotes the
News as giving the New York World
as it's authority for the statement It
made.
Mr.. Cromwell calls attention 70 the
fact that in the World of Oct. last
he made an explicit and unqualified de-
NAL of the story referred to, this de-
NAL containing the declaration that
neither he nor any one allied with him
directly or Indirectly ever dealt in any
manner anywhere in the stocks, bonds

the CLEANSING OF COUNCIL BLUFFS.

| Some months ago the newspapers ex-
/ plotted the cleansing of Council Bluffs
!! Gambling houses from which the city
had derived large revenue from time
immemoria1, were closed. The state
laws and state officials had helped. A
new era had dawned. Council Bluffs
had ceased to be the paradise of the
hunco steerer the capper and the tin
horn. The ministry exulted. The sa-
looms and their supporters were down
cast No more would the western
,stocllmen flock in from South Omaha
with rolls big enough to choke COW.
There was $4,000 of revenue, the
city's share of robbery and rake off
gone glimmering, and the mulct and
other special taxes We're likely to rise
or at any rate be strictly collected.
Still, they had hopes.
The hope seems to have been fully
justified. Tales of bunco and confidence
games wherein operators turned the
trick for small fortunes come from
Council Bluffs. Yesterday a boy who
had earned winter stake corn husk-
ing, lost 1t all in a Council Bluffs
gambling den, took laudanum and came
near accomplishing his suicidal pur-
pose The tinhorns waited awhile.
They always do when agitation is on
or the grand jury in session. But
the harvest time has come again to
the green fields of chance where lambs
gambol to be shorn.
Council Bluffs as center for gam
b1ers. bunco steerers, and their dia
mond thievirg, burglarizing pals, has
become a by-word and a kissing in
Iowa. The city seems content with
it's nefarious partnership. The state
is not, and the outfit should be chased
out and kept out, if in the power of the
commonwealth to accomplish it. Gov
