MOWER COUNTY
in THE WAR
MOWER COUNTY WAS WELL
REPRESENTED IN THE WAR
OF THE REBELLION LIST OF
THOSE WHO ENLISTED TO
SAVE THE COUNTRY ..

The History of Mower County
which was published nearly twenty
five years ago, took pains to COM
pile list of all the names of the
soldiers who enlisted from Mower
county for the war of the rebellion.
We have been requested to. repub-
lish the list and are glad. to let the
rising generation know of the noble
record which we had in the defence
OF the old flag. We take the list just
as the History prints them and it
will be a good time for friends to
correct any errors made :, in them.
Send them right in to- this office.

: Leads All In Courage.

It may be doubtful if any presi-
dent ever has had the courage to
write such a paragraph as President
Roosevelt included in his message
when he said with characteristic
frankness about Mr.. Tawney's
amendment: ..s,.5 lsss4 49,. ..- +.
The chief argument in favor of
the provision was that the congress.
men did not wish to be investigated
by the secret service men, Little
of such investigation has been done
in the past; but it is true that the
work of the secret service agents was
partly responsible for the conviction
OF senator and congressman for
land frauds in Oregon. :44's, :4355.y
I do not believe that it is in pub
lie interest to protect criminals in
any branch of the public service, and
exactly as we have again and again
during the last seven years prose-
cuted and convicted such criminals
who were in the executive branch Of
the government, so, in my belief, we
should be given ample means to
prosecute them il found in the leg
islatiye branch. 5s.f2z5 s7 ..
But If this lis not considered de-
sirable, special exception could be
made in the law prohibiting the use
Of the secret service for investiga-
tiOn of members of congress. It
would be far better to do this than
to do what actually was done, and
strive to prevent, or at least to
hamper, effective action against
criminals BY the executive branch OF
the government s.s ss;ss 3sg3

RAYMOND IN THE CHICAGO.
TRIBUNE SHOWS HOW PRESI-
DENT ROOSEVELT TAXES OUR
CONGRESSMAN TO TASK.

B, The following article by Ray
mond. the well-known Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune, appeared in that paper. a few
days ago. It discusses the difference
existing between certain members of
congress and President Roosevelt,
over thesnow famous discussion of
the curtailment of the work of sec
ret service agents. We quote the lib.
une as follows: -. .f q. "a
President Roosevelt's last regu-
lar message to congress was chiefly
notable because of the direct slap
between the eyes which was admin
istered to the ruling element in the
house of representatives. ..
The president did not mince words
but told the members of the lower
house that in the legislation passed
last winter limiting the employment
of secret service agents they had
acted in the interest of criminals and
in that interest only. It was blow
straight out from the shoulder and
it showed how deeply the president
felt the pernicious activity Of the
appropriations committee last win
ter. ...".' ~ .@1-, - s,--~'
The chief sufferer of course, by
the message, is Representative
James A. Tawney of Winona, Mimi,
Mr.. Tawney was chairman of the
committee on appropriations at the
last session and was personally re-
sponsible for the legislation which
the president stigmatiZed SO bitter
ly in the message sent to congress
| The president last winter was op-
posed to that legislation and claimed
then as he does now, that it was
intended to embarrass the govern
ment in it's prosecution Of land and
timber thieves. He wrote personal
| letter to Speaker Cannon on the sub
ject and that letter was shown to

Iawney's Part,


Being afraid to make a direct is
sue in a separate measure, the land
ring succeeded in inducing the ap-
preparations committee of the house
to tack the necessary legislation on
to the appropriation bill. In taking
this action Representative Tawney
OF Minnesota was an open enemy Of
the secret service and he conducted
a fight which unfortunately has re-
suited in paralyzing the prosecution
Of these thieves in various parts of
the country. In spite of the presi-
dents personal letter and in spite of
official protests by the secretary Of
the treasury and others, the result
was that Mr.. Tawney secured the
passage, after hard fight, of the
following significant amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill:
\ mo part of any money appro-
priated by this act shall be used in
payment of the compensation or ex-
penses Of any person detailed or
transferred from the secret service
division of the treasury department.
or who may at any time during the
fiscal year Of 1909 have been em-
ployed by or under the said secret
service division. = # .%

Democratic Party Cannot Claim I'm
sullied Virtue as to Source of It's
Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech
'Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what 1t has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy In the light of Mr.. Bryan's reiter-
ated criticisms Of contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of New York a Republican Legislature
In 1908 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation of the law
should be guilty Of criminal offense.
And / know Of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
licity Of campaign contributions and
for the prevention Of corrupt practices
than that passed In New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises Of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by a party
in power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, of course, be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion Of the popular will lie at the foun-
dalton Of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity of and accounting for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal elections. But 1t must
fairly be recognized that the skirts Of
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have sinned. and
also those who, II we may judge from
their local activities. are still unrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of it's revenues or
it's readiness to receive them

The Two sides of Injunctions.

1t is charged by labor orators, labor
union delegates and editors in direct
language and by the Democratic party
in Its platform with safe ambiguity
that labor Is singled out for injunctive
relief. They forget the Use Of the in
junction in protecting union labels. In
deed. they forget all uses Of the injunc-
tion except its use to save business or
property from unlawful interference.
But even there they forget the truth.
For it is not labor, but unlawful in
reference that is enjolned. and the
courts have been and are ready to en-
join capital as well as labor.-Boston

Epttomixing Organism.

Mr.. Bryan Is good man and IL an
orator, but he Is constantly seeking
for short cut to virtuous result, to
a result that Is going to give us some
thing for nothing, and there is moth
ing in the world within the law and
within justice that gives you something
for nothing, except the love of your
father and mother. That does. and
you find when you become a father
or n mother that you have to pay out
to your children the love that you got
from your father or mother. IL goes
that way.-Judge Taft at Greensboro,

Of the situation is concise and every

Third. Your committee recon-
mends that the merchants association
cooperate with the Growers in main
taing uniform prices, SO as to protect
both the merchant and the producer
Fourth, We further recommend,
that after the local demand is sup
piled all surplus should be turned
into the regular channels Of the CO.
operative shipments.
Fifth, We further recommend that
a certain per cent Of the price receiv
ed for our produce be turned into the
treasury of the cooperative associa-
tion and further recommend that rep
resentatives be sent before the var
ions railroad and transportation COM
panies to secure better rates aud ac-
commodations whereby the producers
can realize better profit.

LABOR IN DEMOCRATIC STATES.

Into CrinRing Dependencies.

Coal Miners In Alabama SuDJugateo
Into Cringing Dependencies.
That there's rift within the lutte"
Of the Gompers proposition to deliver
the labor vote Of the country to DEM
ocracy Is becoming more apparent.
While Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplorable condition OF
laber In the Democratic South. Mr..
John P. White, for six years president
OF the Iowa United Mine Workers, and
now one OF the national officers Of the
United Mine Workers Association, who
investigated mining labor conditions In
the South, Is not so reticent. In q re-
cent address to Local Union No. 81 Of
Abba, Iowa, he told OF prosecutions Of
labor In Alabama where a coal miners
strike was in progress. He Is reported
as saying: "The miners OF Alabama
have been subjugated until a majority
have become cringing dependencies. Al
most daily some Of the laboring men of
that state were mercilessly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
of the Mine Workers Association were
thrown into jail without having COM
mitted any crime other than becoming
members of the organization" Ala
bama is a state absolutely under con-
troll Of Bryan Democracy.

Bryan on Rail Ownership To-day

and Two Years ago.
TO-DAY.
To-day Mr. Bryan, in expressing his
views Of government ownership Of rail
roads, said:
81 do not desire government owner
ship. l hope that the railroads will
permit regulation. Mr.. Taft's and my
position only differ in that Mr.. Taft
has more faith than have In the will
ingness of the railroads to be regu-
lated"
TWO YEARS AGO.
Upon his return from his world tour
Mr.. Bryan said on Aug 30, 1906, in a
speech in New York:
II have already reached the conclu-
sion that railroads partake so much
OF the nature Of a monopoly that they
must ultimately become public property
and be managed by public officials in
the interests Of the whole community
in accordance with the well-defined the
DRY that public ownership is necessary
where competition is impossible.
''The ownership and operation of the
local lines by the several State gov
ernments is not only feasible but II
suits itself to the conditions existing In
the various States"

COMES ON VALENTINE DAY
New Freight Schedule to Be Then
Promulgated by Railroad Board.

A valentine for the railroad
companies of the state will be issued
on February Ia by the state board of
railroad commissioners. 1t has been
decided that the formal order of the
board providing for the new freight
rate schedule will be promulgated on
that date, and the companies Will
have 80 days thereafter to either conn
ply with the order or start a fight.
But there are rumors of q good deal
of trouble ahead for the board in
agreeing upon a schedule OF jobbinx
rates. Frank Ryan of Leavenworth is
in open revolt against the system of
differentials which the board has pro-
vided for the protection of interior
jobbing points, and says that the diff
ferentials will. place all Missouri river
jobbers at a disadvantage. The
other members of the board insist
that the dffferentials will put interior
jobbers on a parity with the Missouri
river.
AS there are two members of the
board from interior points of the
state against one from Missouri
river point, the chances are that the
schedules will be put through in Their
present form.
1t is possible that Mr. Ryan, realix-
ing that he Is outnumbered in the con-
test, will make no special fight on the
present schedules. Mr.. Ryan. how
ever, is said to be somewhat luke
warm concerning the whole Of the
schedule proposed by the board.
