man of this kind stands simply for
what we all believe. that the majority
of the people should rule.
In practical operation local option
law is of much value even to COM
munities where the sentiment is I'M
favorable TO the elimination of the
traffic 1t serves the purpose of a
menace against the unlawful prac-
tees Of many saloons. 1t is freely
conceded by nearly everybody who be-
lieves that saloons should be permit
ted existence that saloon keepers
should observe the spirit of the law
in regulation of the traffic. No man
will contend that a license to retail
intoxicating liquors carries with it the
privilege of violating the law. Most
of the evil of the traffic comes
through the disposition to evade GER
tain provisions of the law intended to
confine the saloons within due
grounds. Many men believe, and there
is reasonable ground for their belief,
that the principal harm done by the
saloon comes from the persistent vio-
lation of the law. Therefore a local
option law is of great use in keeping
the saloons responsive to public SEN
timent requiring strict observance Of
law. 1t is much easier to make the
saloons obey the law when they know
that the people have in their hands a
weapon powerful enough to destroy
the traffic at any time when it is the
public will so to do.
Local option, then, is not prohibit
ton. nor anything near it. In itself
it does not prohibit saloons even in
the territorial limit prescribed unless
the people themselves see fit to take
advantage Of the provisions of the
law.

STILL RUMOR SAYS
DUKE WILL MARRY
Has 1t That Wedding to Miss
EIkins Is Near.

Rome, Oct. 10.-The fact that the
duke of the AbruzZi, who, il Is stated
is to marry Miss Katherine Elkins in
December, left the command of the
battleship Regina Elena before the
expiration of the regulation two years
service and thus renowned promo
ton to flag rank, has caused consid-
cradle surprise here.
There is only one explanation given
on all sides for his action. Every one
assumes that he intends to hasten his
marriage to Miss Elkins, though Meth
er he nor his friends will say why he
gave up his command
In naval circles, where the duke has
been nicknamed Mr. Elkins," it is
declared that the reason is that the
marriage is certain.
The Duke has taken the bit in his
teeth and intends to have his own
way. He is now at Turin. but has
not seen the king. who is at Racconigf
or the queen mother. who has washed
her hands of the whole business and

THE JUDGE OF THE COURT

The Importance of selecting capable
and proper Judge the court OF this
county, should not be overlooked by
the voters OF the county at the coming
the streets of the city, it would seem
that a number of voters are under the
wrong impression that Judge Fox has
no opposition for that office. Mr.. bod
son, of Cambridge City, has been nomi-
mated as the Democratic candidate and
will be regularly upon the ticket and
no mistake should be made by the
voters either in assuming. that there
is no opposition to Judge Fox, or in
the selection the best man for the
position.
The Office of judge is in no sense a
political one. The proper administra-
ton Of the law through our courts is
not alone important, but of vital in
terest to all the people of the county
alike.
From expressions heard by members
of the bar. it appears that Judge Fox
has made satisfactory Judge, and that
his experience and ability as lawyer,
and his experience and record upon the
bench have been such that his election
is regarded as in everyway desirable,
not only by the bar Of the county, but
in the interest of the people, in the
maintenance of the high standing and
efficiency of the court, and the proper
administration Of the law, through the
courts of the countryl
Judge Fox's opponent, Mr.. Dodson, is
a young man, against whom personally
nothing will be said; but he is without
either legal learning, Or experience in
practice. to fit him for the responsible
duties of the bench in this county.
As has been said, the office Of judge
being in no sense political and in the
selection Of the man for the Office, in
tegrity. capacity and legal learning
alone should govern the action of the
voters, it will be we'll for our citizens
to inquire If they do not already know
the respective qualification of the two
candidates. and make no mistake In
their selection of the man for this i'm
portant Office. CONTRIBUTOR.

Cincinnati. o., Oct. le.-At the last

The subject of most interest was
that relating TO the use of the tele-
phone for the dispatching all block
ing of trains. While the telephone
has been used TO an extent in railway
service for number of years on
branches, yard and terminal lines, its
greatest development has been with
in the last two years, when entire
districts have been covered with train
dispatching circuits with great sue
cess. Reports indicated that within
two years over 5000 miles OF road

CONCERNING MONUMENTS.

The monument to Benjamin Harri-
son erected In Indianapolis and to
be unveiled the last of this MONTH
does much to bring more honor to the
illustrious name Of Indianas son. It
is not only recognition of his great
ness but 1t sets forth an ideal for a
younger generation to achieve.
The ancient Roman ideal of monu-
ments was to perpetuate the name of
the man himself. To this end the
statesman and warriors Of Rome built
their own monuments to be quite sure
that one would be built Not only
the many monuments which line the
Appian Way for miles out Of Rome,
but the Appian Way itself were built
in the life time of the man himself
so that he was sure his name would
live after him. The Egyptian Phar-
obs built their pyramids for the same
reason. Even today the Mr.. Carnegie
gives away libraries with his name on
them that his name may not become
extinct. 1t makes no difference that
the library have funds to keep alive
after he has given the money-there
his name stands in bold relief.
That is one sort of monument.
The other is of later and a finer
growth.
The monuments erected by CRATE
ful people to their sons are worth all
the monuments of the other sort save
their artistic merits. There is an in.
calcuable gain in patriotism: in bet.

WHAT LOCAL OPTION IS.

Many persons honestly are confus-
ed as to the exact principle involved
In local. option as applied to the re-
striction OF the retail liquor traffic
Others have not a proper under
standing of 1t because those who are
interested in the discrediting Of the
theory purposely misrepresent it's
provisions and its purposes. Local
option really is nothing but home rule.
1t Is designed to give the people of a
stated unit Of government the power
to say for themselves whether or not
saloons shall be excluded from that
particulJ- territory. In so far as the
principle Is concerned, there is not a
particle OF difference between local
option by city wards and townships
and local option with the county as
the unit. In practical effect, of course,
there is a wide difference, because of
the difference in the unit.
Broadly speaking local option means
the rule of the majority. This princi-
pie is the foundation stone of our gov.
eminent. Although it is contemplated
that the rights and privileges of the
minority shall be given due consider
alton and respect. after all the scheme
necessarily comedies that the express
sion of the majority shall determine
governmental policies, local, state or
general.
1t is true. of course. that local OPP
ton law has the effect to promote
temperance by the restriction or by
The destruction OF the retail liquor
traffic. Yet it does not follow that a
man who is in favor of a local option
law necessarily is opposed 10 the liqu-
or traffic. One may favor saloons un.
der proper regulation, and yet be q
consistent advocate OF local option. A

Grenier was right A detective had
already nudged an acquaintance and
whispered:
"The pigeon seems to be upset. And
one of the hawks is in a rare temper
too. I'll keep an eye on that collec-

He watched them through a mirror.
He saw Grenier exert himself to put
his companions In a better humor.
When they went out, he followed and
ascertained from the commissionnaire

Shaftesbury avenue

he manage it? i must make some in

Certainly the methods Of the superior
scoundrels Of London are peculiar.
Grenier knew that he was a marked
man in the eyes of the police. He
knew that the particular saloon bar
he affected was the rendezvous not
only OF others like himself. but Of the

them away in his carriage and made
an excuse that he had an appointment

free to walk far and fast while his ex-

put a quick stop to the badinage. The

Tama, Jan 1.-THE first move In
the game to control the two delegates
from the Fifth district to the national

standpatters or anti Cummins faction
in announcing thru the Tama Herald
the candidacy of ex-senator Penrose
OF this city, for one of the delegates.
1T has been known for several days
that a slate had been agreed upon
by the usual leaders at Cedar Rapids
and Vinton which included a man from
Tama and one from the eastern end
of the district, but until Penrose was
definitely announced the personnel OF
the deal could not be learned. Tama is
normally a progressive county, and the
selection Of an anti from this county
is a good political move as the exper-
fenced manipulators of the east end
will name Tama's delegates to the
state convention who will vote for four
anti-Cummins tes-at-large to
the national convention. 1t can then
be consistently advertised that Tama,

Cooper's Views of Human Stomach \
by Medical Men

of the facts recently brought to my
attention concerning this Cooper medi-
cine have gone far toward removing
the prejudice I had formed against
them when I first heard of Cooper's
new ideas and medicines.
Numbers of my patients whom l
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles have met me and
stated that Cooper's medicine has ac-
complished wonderful results for
them. I notice particularly in cases
of stomach trouble that the man has
relieved several cases that were of
years standing and proved very OBJ
stinate to treatment.
"I do not wish to stand in the way
of something that may be for the pub
lie good, simply thru professional
prejudice, and I am inclined to give
Cooper and his preparations credit as
deserving to some extent the popular
demonstration that has been accorded
them in this city,.
