Railway Facilities.
SO far as transportation facilities are
concerned. Emporia is advantageously
situated. 1t Is one OF the largest ship
ping points on the Atlantic Coast Linz
Railway between Petersburg and Will
mington. The Notwithstanding branch
of the Southern Railway and the CLARE
mont or James River division OF the
same system converge here and both
cross the Coast Line. These two core
pet!ng kystems. both of which put En-
poria in easy touch with deep water,
furnish low freight rates that are at
tractive to manufacturers.
In addition there are two logging
roads controlled by lumber concerns.
One Of these runs to Hitchcock, a
flourishing North Carolina town. and
on to the Roanoke River, distance OF
twenty miles. penetrating a splendid
timber section and touching the gran

TAFT FORCED TO STUMP.

Chairman Hitchcock announced that
Judge Taft would conduct "porch cam
paign," would not travel over the coun-
try. That was when the fight began.
Confidence permeated the republican
camp. The other day, Mr.. Hitchcock
announced that Judge Taft would make
whirlwind campaign, perhaps going
from ocean to ocean.
1t would have been much more CON-
Portable, sitting on wide veranda in
the palatial home Of his thirty million
aire brother, Charles P. Taft, in Cincin-
natl, drinking iced tea and keeping the
atmosphere in motion with q palm leaf
fan.
The reason the porch campaign was
abandoned was the reception Of news
from the workers in every state: "Come
over in Macedonia and help US. The
heathen-that is, the democrats-ar
pressing us unto death. Verify, we say
unto you, there be no such thing this
blooming year of our Lord as republi-
can cinches, like unto those wherein we
reveled in times past. The enemy doth
brighten us. We need succor.'
And so the dream of assured success,
which made pleasant the republican
couch when the campaign began, is no
more; nowadays, the big chiefs arise in
the morning to tell of awful nightmares
manifesting democrats entering the
White House by the front door, and
hanging their overcoats where have
hung the clothing of former presidents
Hence, Judge Taft goes on the stump
forced there by the glowing reports OF
swelling democratic majorities wher-
ever voters live.

If bankers should not be required to
contribute to fund to insure deposits
because "that would induce reckless
banking as the republican politicians
are arguing, then why not apply the
rule that what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander; why not say that
banks should not ask security from Dor
rowers lest the practice induce reck-
lessness on the part of the individual;
why not say also that the federal gov
ernment should not ask the national
banks to deposit bonds to secure the
bank note money which the law permits
them to issue, lest to require such bonds
tend to produce race of bankers who
would recklessly issue bank notes?

HANDICAPPED.
This Is the Case With Many Leon
People.

Too many Leon citizen are handi-
capped with bad back. The unceas-
ing pain causes constant misery, max
ing work a burden and stopping or
lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may give
relief but cannot reach the cause. To
eliminate the pains and aches you
must cure the kidneys.
Doans Kidney Pills cure siok kidneys
and cure them permanently. Can you

A bank pass book should be the thing
of established value; it should be nego-
table as piece of money; it should al
ways be worth it's face value. At the
present time, most bank books are Of
that sort, thanks to generally good char
acter of our bankers. But many citizens
have experienced periods of uncertainty
as to the exact value of those little
books which were the only evidence
they possessed that the bank owed mon
ey to them; and hosts of people, right
lately, too, have found that, when they
asked for their money, they could not
get it. Cannot you see benefit in law
which would insure the prompt payment
to you of every dollar you had deposited,
regardless of whether or not some par
ticular bank had been mismanaged and
your money CHANGED to have been en-
trusted to the safe-keeping of that bank?

heretofore it is question Of: "Shall

1. Popular election of senators.
2. Publicity of campaign contribu-
tions before election.
8. Valuation of railroad properties
by the government.
4. Lowering of the tariff.
5. 1njunctions.
6. The trusts.
On No. the republican platform is
silent; the democratic favors.
On No. 2 the republican platform is
silent; the democratic is for publicity
before election.
On No. 3 the republican platform is
silent; the democratic declares for it,
besides covering every commendable
point set forth in the republican ut
terance.
On No. the republican platform is
silent; the democratic favors.
On No. 5 the republican platform
makes vague promise; the democratic
offers protection to labor by prevention
of issuance of DEGREES when in other
than labor disputes they would not
issue.
On No. the republican platform
actually proposes to legalize trusts;
the democratic to prevent private mo-
nopoly.
If the foregoing omissions be en-
dorsed and the republican party re-
turned to power, these issues having
been openly raised what complaints can
the people make if their rule be further
prevented, as it has been in the past?
Could conclusion be palmer?
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-10-01

The Republican platform declares for
the control of monopoly; the Demo-
cratic platform demands eradication of
monopoly--trusts. The Republican
party wishes to legislate to legalize
certain monopolies- trusts. Watered
stocks are recognized as grave evil.
The steel trust watered it's securities
from $36O,OOO,OOO of constituent COM
panies to $1,6OO.OOO0OO as they now
stand. The dominant party never has
antagonized the steel trust, never has
begun operations through the courts to
prevent it from continuing to violate
the federal law against combinations in
restraint Of trade. If trusts be legalized
through Republican legislation, will
not the steel trust then be one of the
"good" trusts to be merely controlled,
and not eradicated?
