shows has filled two engag 'ments
in the town of Johnston-one in

A prominent gentleman told the
writer in Johnston a few days ago
that the Smith Shows are high
class and should not be confused
with the Objectionable class of car
nivals. Persons in our town who
have patronized the Smith at
fractions also state that the shows
are clean and without the usual
Objectionable features.

Petitions praying the members
of the legislature now int session

are being circulated in almost
every section of the equity by

cause of prohibition throughout
the county has exceeded the ex

The Advertiser has. been re-

who wish to- sign them who have

Very few who have been approach

abo have declined stated that
they would vote for prohibition
but preferred not to sign petit

Where Travelling Is Healthful and
Instructive.

Have you been to Yellowstone
Park? No? Then yon have yet
to see Americas Greatest Won
derland, the scenic center of the
continent. Everyone must know
the geysers, the canyons and the
mountains before they know
America, though they may have
seen all else.
This summer an excellent op-
portunity is offered for combining
with an outing in tho mountains a
pleasant journey to Yellowstone.
The trip can be made through the
heart of scenic Colorado-Pueblo,
Colorado Springs, Denver, The
Garden of the Gods, Pixies Peak,
Glenwood Springs, Salt Lake City
with it's Mormon Temples, Og-
den and Pocatello--to Yellowstone,
the front gate of the great Nation
al Park.
The round trip rate is very low
and good for return until October
81. You can stop over at any
point in the scenic regions. The
Missouri Pacific-lron Mountain
offers the choice of routes, and full
information regarding rates and
schedules are to be obtained from

OF INDIANA

Gov. FOLK had more people to
hear him speak one day last week
at P isgah, little place in Cooper
unity, eight miles away from any
railroad, than Stone had at his
muchly advertised open meeting
at Marshall. It's just an indica-
lion of how the people are lined
up as to preference between the
two candidates for senator.-Doni-
phan Prospect NetUs.
We are wiling to gamble that
the foregoing statement is false.
A lie pure and simple-made of
whole cloth. Who's been impos-
ing on you, brother?
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1908-08-06

YES, the REGISTER is an "organ"
an organ of the Democratic party,
maintaining it's code of principles.
l believe in those principles as for
mulated by the founders of the
party, and, so believing, find it a
pleasant duty to advocate them
in my very limited field. But in
my forty years conduct of the pa
per it has never worn the collar of
any man or set of men. I have
never received a dollar for the ad-
vocacy of any candidates claims,
or exacted or sought to exact a
promise of return favors. I have
always been absolutely free to
voice myself according to the
light vouchsafed me, and would
not conduct the paper one week
under other conditions. In my
poor way, l have taken issue with
men of the party, time and again,
and voiced myself in no uncertain
terms. The readers of the REGIS
TER know this to be true. There
fore, the term "organ, applied to
it by real "organs," whose owners
never put forth a thought without
first weighing in the scale of self
interest, is unperturbing. Take
the local Republican "gang," for
instance. Did anyone ever know
them to take exception to any
thing said or done by the leaders
the big bosses-of their party?
Do they reject the bossism which
now rules the rank and file of the
g. o. p. with a rod of iron? There
is no political enormity, if it bear
the stamp of the masters approv-
al, but they will bow their heads
in submission and to slightly
change the metaphor - swallow
the dish set before them, swear
ing all the while the pottage is
most excellent! Yet it is Benny's
paper that falsely charges the
REGISTER with being an "organ"
in the baser sense!
30, wad some pow'r the giftie gle us
To see oursels as ithers see us!"

An Appeal to the People.

Inasmuch as several persons
seem to have special pleasure in
belittling privately and publicly
my methods to prevent the re-
opening of the saloons I desire to
say in the first place, when all the
facts are brought out, | think the
people will admit my methods
quite as commendable as the meth
DDS used by those who have kept
them in existence and who now
seek to reopen them. In the Sec
ond place, if any doubted state
ment in first article that ''influen-
tial citizens are determined to re-
open the saloons" surely that
doubt disappeared after reading
REGISTERS editorial dealing with
Mr.. Thompson's case. 1t is very
interesting when speaking of Lo-
cal Option. I asked the people to
take to pieces what | have written
and reject error, if found; so l
trust the people will do likewise
with editorial just referred to. l
think it high confirmation of my
forecast of the situation.
In the third place, it is true l am
willing to be misunderstood to-day
if 81 may be understood to-mor-
row "yet | did not then, nor do l
now, mean to wait unless waiting
should seem best for my cause.
Silence is sometimes culpable, yea
treaonable. Knock me down,
knock my cause down, but l seri-
ously object to it's going any fur
ther than a knock down. Kindly
read between the lines.
In the fourth place, since / am
forced to make clear and justify my
course | now feel it due the people
that | re-arrange, in some conven-
lent form, articles that have al
ready appeared and send through
out the county and in doing SO
will consider:
i. Have saloon petitions which
have been filed during the past
twenty years complied with the
law?
2. If petitions have been illegal
where rests the blame?
3. During Local Option was
there any ground for contest at
any of the towns?
4. Believing the county would
go "dry" did the "wets" lay trap
to contest the election?
5. Did this trap laid by "wets"
afford "drys" ample justification
to contest the election with GER
tainty of winning?
When these and other points are
brought out perhaps the SWEETS"
will admit their methods are
known to some people in this coun-
ty; that the County Court was just
fled in demanding a two-thirds
majority and that the temperance
element should demand fair treat
ment.

THIS is the way the able editor
of the st. Louis Mirror--William
Marion Reedy-sets out the rea-
sons for the probable election of
Mr.. Bryan. They are good rea-
sons, too-not of the ''plenty as
blackberries," variety-resultant
from a logical consideration of
men, times and conditions. Also,
they make interesting and instruct
i've reading; albeit with a faint
taint of persiflage:
We think Mr.. Bryan has a bet
ter chance of election than he ever
had before, because the people
know him better and have more
general sympathy with his ideas.
We think Mr.. Roosevelt has made
many thousands of votes for Mr..
Bryan, that Mr.. Bryan will get
large percentage of Roosevelt votes
that Taft will never get. We
think Mr.. Taft is popular with the
club "sets," but not with hoi polloi.
His best card is his multifarious
efficiency in administration, but
this can hardly Offset the glamour
of Mr.. Bryan's half-clerical, half
actoresque and wholly simpatico
personality. Up to now we have
not figured out what States they
were that Mr.. Bryan did not carry
in 1896 and 1900 that he will carry
this year. Of course, he will win
back Missouri, lost by Parker.
We don't think the prospects are
good for Mr.. Bryan's winning
without New York. There are mo-
ments when we think he could
carry New York easier than he
can Ohio or Indiana or Illinois.
Our opinion is that Mr.. Bryan has
about an equal chance with Mr..
Taft--if the corporations are as
afraid as they profess to be to
contribute to the Republican cam
paign funds. Upon the whole, Mr..
Bryan is, as we have said, strong
er than ever before, while Mr.. Taft
inherits more of Roosevelt's weak
ness than of his strength. This
election, as the Mirror views it now,
is to be won on mems bellies. If
times get better, twill be better
for Taft. If times do not get bet
ter, twill be better for Bryan. 1t
is not likely that any artificial
stimulus will improve the times
sufficiently to help the Republic
cans. Finally, the editor Of the
