The following is the closing
remarks of a very able editorial
of the Persia To-, Globe of last
week, on the action of President
Roosevelt in the present politi-
cal campaign. The article in
whole is an able exposition of
the meddling disposition of the
President in the affairs of par
ty politics, which is, to say the
least, not approved by the peop-
lie in general:
Zone of the most deplorable
features of the present COM
paigns is the part taken in it by
President Roosevelt. He has
dragged his high Office through
the filth and sewerage which
was vomited out of the Hearst
papers. He gathers up the filth
and indiscrimintely filings it up
on innocent and guilty alike.
In this effort to obscure the iss-
ues he has "befouled his own
nest" 1t has never been deem
ed fitting that a president of all
the people should debase his
high office for partisan purpo-
poses. Mr.. Roosevelt driven
desperate by his fear of the de-
feat of his appointee for the
presidency Jumps into Shiny
partisenism. The Harrima let
ters and the indorsment of Can
non two years ago estopps Mr..
Roosevelt's plea as he failed to
come before the peoples court
with clean hands. Even Roose-
welt is finding it difficult to OBJ
scure the issue, though he joins
with Hearst and wallows in the
filth of a Hearst campaign. Mr..
Roosevelt should have kept the
presidential chair free from
Hearstism."

The Iowa Standpatter.

With the drift of public SEN
timent clearly poi.2 ed out to
them in the defeat Of Long of
Kansas, Fulton Of Oregon, Kit
fridge of South Dakota and
Ankey of Washington, the Iowa
standpatters are still unable to
come into the knowledge of the
plain, unvarnished truth that
twilight has come for their
school of politics. Nothing but
their overwhelming defeat at
the hands of the people in the
nomination of Cummins at the
November primary election
will bring the standpatters to
understand that they have been
stepped on by the progressive
procession but even then it is
doubtful if they will be able to
come into the full knowledg G
of the truth that their country
and their party have abandon
ed the standpat policy and the
standpatter for good and all.-

Meeting Closed.

Evangelist Lockhart closed
his meetings, last night, at the
Christian Church, wi h a full
house in attendance. The ordi-
nance of baptism was adminis-
tered to nine at the close Of the

the most successful meetings
held inthis city by the Christian
Church, so far as a substantial
advance in membership and re-
ligious influence in the work of
the Master. The outer walls of
Zion have been extended and
the number of the soldiers of
the Cross has been increased,
and all feel that great good has
been accomplished in the COM
munity by these meetings.

is the owner Of an old English
hand made, cushioned chair,
that has been in her family for
over one hundred and fifty

items About Land Opening.

Items About Land Opening.
We have received a letter
from Harry L. Harvey regard
ing Tripp county which is good
enough to print as a whole, but
we are short on time to get the
matter up so condense the let
ter for those of our readers who
wish to know about the new
homestead lands.
Mr.. Harvey states that there
has not been a crop failure since
1894 in that vicinity. Corn on
old land will yield about 50 bu-
shells this year and some 60.
Sod corn without a bit of tend
ing after the planting yields 30
bushels. Land sells there, in
Gregory county for $4,000 up to
$1,000 per quarter section, and
some that has good buildings
brings more. Mr.. Harvey has
no doubts regarding the coun-
try agriculturally and says that
next to Iowa, he considers it
the best place on earth. With
regard to the town of Dallas
which is a place only about
eighteen months old he says
1t has a good system Of water
works and street lights, about
5000 square yards of cement
sidewalks and crossings, the
main street has a ten foot walk
along both sides of the entire
business section. There are
two banks, three general stores
five hotels, two implement hou-
ses, six lumber yards, three
elevators and other kinds of
business. There are IS auto
mobiles in the town and a gar
age that holds 20 machines.
The registration building is a
two story cement block struct-
ure 34x1O0 feet two stories
high. A new cement building
46x1O0 feet two stories has
| just been started. This will be
a general store below with a
wholesale grocery department
above. Observer.

The Hughes meeting did not
materialize last evening-that
is Governor Hughes came into
Missouri Valley on schedule
time but stated that his physi-
clan would not permit him to
speak in the open air, conse-
quently there was nothing do
ing. There was a large crowd
of disappointed people down
at the local depot and it is to
be regretted that the governor
did not speak. Last evening
Mr.. Hughes spoke at the audi-
torium in Omaha to an exceed,
Iingly large crowd.

w. L. Sales left with us to.
day, a pair of names from a
old set of harness that are over
one hundred years old. They
are of the kind that were used
with trace chains and a back
band and were common in the
olden days when farmers used
the bar-shear and bull tongue
plow, the kind that would kick
you over the fence and then
kick at you through the crack.
They are curiosity nthis age.

R. c. Spencer, of Audubon
County, Democratic candidate
for Congress in this 9th district
was a pleasant caller this MORN
ing. He is circulating among
the people Of the district, and
has some hope of an election,
but Is not unmindful of the fact
that the republican majority is,
or has been, large, and while
Walter l. Smith, present incum-
bent, is personally popular, the
voters this year are inclind to
vote for w. j. Bryan for Presi-
dent, and for congressional con-
didates who will oppose the re-
election of the old obstruction
list Jo. Cannon, to the Speaker
ship Of the House of Represen-
tatives. If he is to be Speaker
agan, what use have we for
other members of congress? He
would be the whole thing. In
the coming election the people
propose to elect Bryan, with a
Congress who will legislate for
the people and the peoples in
terest, and who have no use for
10. Cannon, and therefore, it
would be a good move to vote
for R. c. Spencer for Congress.

the regular crews and all extra

drawn from every walk Of life
and there are good and bad
alike, but no serious trouble
has yet occurred on the trains

Amusing.

1t would be very amusing if
it was not for the fact that it is
a very serious matter to con-
template. If we take up a re-
publican paper and read the po-
litical news we read that Taft is
sweeping over the country like
a whirlwind, carrying every
thing before him, leaving Moth
ing for his competitor; and then
take up a democratic paper and
read that Bryanis just carrying
the country in a perfect wave
of popularity and is certain of
his election. We must not for
get the fact that it is much ca
sier to believe a statemen which
we desire to be true than one
which we hope is not true, and
hense it depends much upon
the character of the reader for
the truth or falshood Of what
we read. Both propositions can
not be true, so we will have to
wait about a month to learn the
result of the election, for expe-
|rience has demonstrated the
fact that ballots only count that
come out of the ballot box, and
are frequently very disappoint-
ling.
We omitted to mention in our

tion held here on the evening
