AbOutBOOze Shipping

Oklahoma. city, June 2-The con
fiscating OF whisky shipped from
Joliet Illinois, TO a Grand Avenue man
of this city by Postmaster Brown
yesterday, has aroused considerable
discussion among legal talent The
postal law prohibits shipping whiskey
by mail, Tie interstate Law does not
interfere with postal matters and
nothing under that head has to do
with postofiice regulation. The tiai
of case has never been made. and
the only point in question is, have the
postal authorities the rignt 70 mold
mp and open a package that Is noi so
plainly marked as having liquid,
especially II the one to whom it be
addressed IS man OF probity and
one who was known 10 the postoffice
department as a high grade citizen2
All these matters have been gone
over, and all because the postoiiice
authorities OF this city did take q
splendid shipment of whiskey. and
take charge under their rights. AS the
whiskey was found no action can
rest against Mr.. Brown but what i
IL had not becn whiskey and other
questions Of like import concern the
debate between our people?
This package of whiskey at the posi-
office came wrapped in neat cir

manner that II might be believed I,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

if there is any place on the face OF
the globe that has more politics to
the square inch than Iowa, it has not
yet been discovered The most of it
is in the Republican party. Since the
biennial election law was enacted, the
Republican party il Iowa has just
simply been in one big free-for-all. 1t
has gotten to the point where five
minutes walk on almost any street
in the state is sure to bring any Re
publican up against an argument
about some phase of the condition in
his party. Family relations are
strained and neighbors almost dread
to meet each other when they have
time to talk
Verify as Dooley says, "These a-are
days of rayform."
There was a time when we who
have to work for living, could go
ahead and work at our regular voca-
ton day after day and week after
| week and month after month, and
never worry about the election that
was to be held in the fall. We put
il. our time toiling or our lily bread
and everyone fel. rretty good toward
his neighDor. We could go to the
postoffice Sunday and wouldn't think
of lodging around IN the line for fear
we would get next 20 some man who
would start telling us v,hcm we ought
to vote for.
Along some time in the summer we
would hold county convention and
then a state convention, and tn en-
after while a county convention
would select candidates for county
Offices, and then along about the first
| of October we would start in on a
campaign lgainst the Democrats,
have speech or two in the opera
house and meetings in few towns
and school houses in the county, then
go to the polls in November, vote the
! ticket, count up the Republican ma
jorities for the different candidates.
and go home about IL o'clock election
night, be at work at 7 o'clock the
next morning and ty night, the cleo
| ton would be practically forgotten.
When those were the conditions in
Iowa, the Republican party went
ahead and so did the state, which
was out Of debt and had surplus.
But the last five or six years it seems
they have both stopped growing
Roosevelt got the same number of
votes in 1904 that Mckinley did in
1900 and if the interviews that have
been printed are any index to the
present situation, it would seem that
not over 10 per cent of the Republi-
cans have any intention of voting ?
straight ticket this fall This quarrel
is felt in every fabric of social relig-
ious and business life of the state. In
keeping with such condition, it is
we'll to remember that in five years
of the greatest prosperity ever known,
the population of the state has not
advanced, and it has possibly de-
| creased.
What ana who is the cause of this
state of affairs?

elections under plans adopted early
in the states history. Under the

in the state and nation, Iowa caught
up with and passed the older states
of the union. Its business, moral and
educational progress ras marvel.
The state officers made enviable repu-
tations for themselves and the COM
monwealth, and Iowa.. members stood
at the top of tho councils Oh the ma
ton. They were business men COM
missioned by business people and
they transacted the business for
which they were elected. They at
tended to business and so did the
citizens. We thought we were get
ting along pretty we'll.
But few years ago, it was discov-
cred that we were working along tho
wrong lines and it was decided that
our election laws and customs should
be changed.
1t was said that we were having too
many elections, so law was passed
skipping one year, and the biennial
election law was measured, cut out,
made and put on. We are now wear
ing it.
Then the primary Jaw got the up
per hand and it was adopted. One
of the arguments used for the bien-
NAL election was that it was too much
expense to hold elections every year.
1t is a safe statement to say that
there never las been a state election
campaign held in low during which
there was as much money spent as
there was for the primary last June.
So that now with the primary
comes just as many elections and just
as much or more expense than we
had before. The greatest features OF
the primary law being that an active
worker in a primary campaign can
make more enemies in his own party
than by any other system yet devised
and that we have the expense of both
campaigns the same year instead Of
carrying it out over two years.

Iowa has had enough Of this con
tinuous and incessant political folly

| We do not thin,y that the legisla
ture has the right to say that any

which to judge votes political 10y
atty 1t can say that all of the ticket
is the standard, but not any part Of
it. The fact that Ian is a candi

him any the less a Republican than Il
he is candidate for state or ma
tional office. If one name on the Re
publican ballot is to be protected from

A Glimpse of Gratitude.


A Glimpse of Gratitude.
No times are wholly evil; and it is
pernicious to represent them as be-
ing so. Indiscriminateness is the sin
of the muck-raker. Even in this dark
day for Israel there were men who
afford a shining example for all ages
Early in his career the better Saul had
rescued Jabesh-Gilead ON an oppres-
sor; these men never forgot Their
lineage was not particularly illus
trious; but they knew the royal grace
of gratitude. So when they heard
how the Philistines had displayed
Sauls body on city wall, together
with the bodies of his sons, for the
p@5lic to scott ut, and for. carrion
birds to devour, they remembered his
friendship for them, and a chosen
band Of their bravest made bril-
liant dash upon Bethshan, and rescued
the bodies, and gave them decent
| burial.
For that deed David honored the
men of Jabesh-Gilead. 1t was an ac,
ton after his own heart Often the
victim of ingratitude himself he was
yet of generous and grateful nature
| with high sense of honor. When
an Amalekite, thinking to gain re-
ward from the kings foes for his It'd
ings, brought him false story ci
! having slain Saul, David, believing
the tale, ordered that the man him
self be put to death for having laid
violent hands upon the Lords
anointed. Still later, he showed kind
ness to the son of Jonathan and tc
the son of Saul.
The magnanimity of David is best
revealed by the sincere sorrow thai
breathes through the elegy which he
composed upon the death of Saul and
Jonathan, "The Song of the Bow
Death blotted out all his sense Of
wrong, and he cherished only the
memory of the Saul that once had
been. before his kingly spirit died
Saul was now dead; he had beer
worse than dead; henceforth david
would perpetuate only the virtues o.
the king, and of his more royal son.
