enunciated whole some doctrine when
he says that underkhe Iowa laws cor
porations can not own and operate
saloons. The right to run such places
is individual and the individual re
sponsibllity is what the laws contem-
plate. One.half of the evils in the
large cities have grown from saloons
operated by big breweries. They have
commercialized and debauched the

ment is at the present time general to
separate the two and the wisest among
the brewers areArapidly confning them
selves to brewing, not to operating
places to induce the sale of their liquors.

Commissioner of 2nd District.
BY
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN

AS NJ. E. Dixon's family have located
in Kansas City for the winter he has
decided to spend the winter there also
and has withdrawn as a candidate
for County Commissioner from this
district and regardless of politics the
people from all parts of the district
have finally prevailed on Isaac Zeigler,
the merchant, to become a candidate
and make the race. This is one of the
best selections possible as Mr.. Zeigler
is one of the best business men and
will bring to the Office his business
ability, and being big tax payer will
be interested in carefully running the
business affairs for the whole county.
A hard " orker, plain, unassuming
and careful in his expenses, a friend to
everybody, fair to all and partial to
none, he is just the kind of man the
county needs in that all-important Of
fee, more important now that we have
the new tax law to carry out.
