plantation by the state of Texas on
which to work its convicts is an inn
provement over Irvine factories and
shoe factories, but the proper place for
them is at public highway work.
1t is perfectly legitimate and pro-
per for so-called republican newspa-
pers to abuse, misrepresent and attack
a republican governor daily for eight
years, but it is shanefully sacrelig-
ious for any other newspaper to
calmly criticise the public service OF
Senator Allison.

says that he has never sought to lead
the people, but has always been with
the people. Now. is this what we adj
mire in Theodore Roosevelt?
J. c. Bailey advertised fresh COW
for sale in the Times Republican on
Tuesday. On Thurs day Marshall
town man drove out to buy her, and

John Quincy Adams died in the
house of representatives, and the spot
where he fell was marked with star,
therefore LATE Young wants Allison to
die in the senate, so the spot where
he falls can be marked with Il star.

want the old man to come home and
enjoy rest in the hope that his life
that trails the old man to his death,
with star ever ready to be slapped
on the spot where he fell, is akin to
that which leads the old horse out to
be shot so that he will fall just where
one wants him to fall,
IF the prohibitionists would curb
the drug stores they should require
the names, amounts, etc. to be re-
ported from each liquor request to the

Supervisors Publication of the names
would kill the drug store habit.
Senator La Folle@tes bill to deprive
public officials serving under the con-
stitution and laws of the United
States of telephone and telegraph
franks or passes, illustrates the wide
gulf that separates men Of his kind
from others of the Tom Plat sort.

have been secured" for meeting in
Mason City.-Siou, City Journal
And they will draw the crowd at Ma
son CITY, as they did on an evidently
unforgotten occasion at Waterloo.
The Roosevelt Prevailer, an Idaho
monthly paper offers the following
excuse for existence: This paper is
published for the sole purpose of try
ing to prevail on Theodore Roosevelt
to accept the nomination of president
again, dIlu VIII DS ptADAA'A'@N 'A'NA' N''>'
meeting of the national republican
convention. After that time it will be
of no USE Whether it has succeeded
in it's purpose or not, it will then

The Rockford Register, newspaper
printed in the Iowa banana belt, re-
lates: ION Monday of this week
Miner Barnum showed us lilac buds
picked from bushes in his yard which
were beginning to burst as result OF
the continued warmth They are just
as gullible as tha sparrows that are
building meets in the cornices. They
will likely want their caps and nit
tens within twenty-four hours.
