scl,err Is Deserted.

\ Some douDung IhomaseS In This
lsection, inclined to believe what the
lbolters brought home with them
about the proceedings at Charleston,
were not inclined to believe that the
Scherr ticket had been repudiated SO
quickly by several OF the nominees
on that ticket and most all the Scherr
delegations.
AT the time the Telegram noted
the fact that several OF the nominees
OF the rump convntion disclaimed all
responsibility for that convention. re-
pudiated 1t and pledged themselves
to support the nominees OF the regu-
lar convention whether they were
nominated at the latter convention.
Among those who personally appear
ed on the platform and repudiated
the boiling convention were Thomas
10. Miller and John T. Harris. James
*. Hall, through a friend and the
man who placed him In nomination
at the regular convention also pledged
himself to support the nominees Of
the regular convention. The law
partner OF A. r. stallings, when he
placed Stalllngs in nomination, did
the same thing for. Mr.. Stallings.
With this four Of the nominees of the
Scherr ticket were withdrawn and but
two were left, Scherr himself and
Snodgrass for state treasurer. Neith-
er of these two were before the regu-
lar convention, yet Scherr received a
number of votes from delegations in
structed for him. not because they
approved his course, but because they
stated that they proposed to be true
to the trust reposed in them.
Along this line the Huntington
Herald neatly and truthfully de-
scribes the actual situation as fol-
lows:
"The results have been most en-
couraglng to the loyal Republicans of
West Virginia. The attempt made
by Auditor Scherr and few dis
gruntled ex-Democrats and Republic
cans of questionable ambitions, to-
ruin the party in the state, at least
temporarily. has fallen fiat failure.
A legion Of Republicans in the state
who believed Mr.. Scherr entitled to
the office of governor, and capable of
filling 1t, are thoroughly disguised
with the tactics he has employed dur
ing the last few days and which
marks the close of his political career
in West Virginia. Although at his
conference he had himself nominate
ed for governor, the loyal delegates
in the state convention, who had been
instructed by their constituents to
vote for Mr.. Scherr. cast their votes
as directed not because, as explicitly
stated by them in the convention, that

Hardly was the editorial in type
when the Mawxell people came in
with column telling of the fine
showing made by their cars. The
Review does not wish to seem partial
among its advertisers and it can
truthfully say that all the Maxwell
users we know have been we'll satsi-
fed with the machines. Those owned
at Vail gave excellent satisfaction
and the Maxwell is one of the stand
ard makes. The fact that A. F..
Boylan. who is known all over Iowa
as an automobile expert, has decided
to handle the Maxwell is about as
good recommendation as the car
could get.

"THE MEYERS PRIDE. I"

We thank our contemporary FOR
the word. 1t is perhaps too personal
a phrase for US to have introduced on
our own motion, but now that it is made
subject of comment by another we
acknowledge it and bid it welcome.
From a standpoint of business
rivalry we can understand the Bulle-
tins hatred. To be out-stripped in
the race, especially when one has
all the odds in his favor, must be
an embittering experience. That
republican newspaper in a demo-
cratic county should have nearly
thouand more circulation than the
democratic county organ must be a
bitter pill. 1t accounts for many
wry faces, but why should it newt
ably lead to personalities? Why
should not the fighting, if there must
be fighting. be fair and above the
belt? Why should the families of
either editor be dragged into the me-
lee? Why should either the Caswell
family or the Meyers family be
abused or insulted zen bloc?"
Every intelligent reader knows
that there is no good thing intended
in such attacks. that they are simply
bludgeon blows of hatred and of
spite, the crude and clumsy weapons
of an unskilled mind.
We must confess that this continu-
ed Safeguarding is distasteful and
disagreeable. When one cannot. &c
to church without having his motives
questioned, when not himself alone,
but all his family, must be drawn in.
to newspaper quarrel, it is time tt
call halt.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-12-16

We extended the olive branch in
good faith and we regret that it prov
ed simply an invitation tor further
insult. Personally we would rather
be at peace, we have lost the zest for
such quarrel. and greatly prefer
that it shall cease.
We shall continue to push our BUSH
ness, we shall try to make the Re-
view just as big and just as good as
we can make it.
The 5000 mark is now easily in
sight and it is our purpose to reach
it within the next six months. If
such efforts and such success hurt
the pride of a competitor we can
not help it. But we can refrain from
personalities. The "Meyers pride''
bids US keep from brawling. and if
it is impossible to be friends, we
can at least be strangers.

1t is Not Enough to Pity.

Charitable organizations can dis
burse your charities for you, but they
cannot love for you any more than
they can eat your dinner and take
your exercise for you, says Rev.
Josiah Strong, in the December Circle
Magazine. God intended that every
man should be "Charity organiza-

that man who is eating his Christmas
dinner is made uncomfortable by the
consciousness that a hungry man is
looking at his back through the win

But let him not think to square him
self with his conscience by giving
that hungry man. or some other, a
good dinner. He might do that and
still indulge in every luxury. He

THE TOWN OF KIRON.

We do not recall at present the
name of these first Swedish settler
in Crawford county. Many of our
Swedish friends will know, but at
present we cannot recall. which of
the splendid pioneers is entitled to
the honor. At any rate it was
long enough ago SO that the town
ship where, first they settled bears
the name of their choice. Stockholm,
the Swedish capital. The first
Swedish settler must have loved
Crawford and have written home.
and the letter must have gone the
round of the neighborhood. We can
imagine that letter. passing from
hand to hand. and from house to
house during the long, cold winter of
the North]and. We can imagine
that the young rnen breathed a little
quicker, that their hands clasped and
unclasped nervously. and that their
eyes frightened as they glanced at
some rose checked maiden and longed
to 20 to the new land and win for
her home.
And many of the brave youths
came. Some were married before
coming, and together braved the hard
ships of strange new land, others
waited until John or Lars or Eric
had worked and saved enought get
a start and to pay the passage money
for the faithful-hearted bride-to-be.
Those were brave young days and
the adventurous Mortimer went at
their task with all the light
interpidity with which their far fore
fathers dared the waves and struck
terror to the hearts of southern foes.
1t was not many years before they
built town. and they called it Kir-
on. The very name rings like the
iron of the Swedish mountains.
They did not wait for railroad,
but years and years before the rail
road came they had a sturdy, thrifty,
God fearing little burg around which
clustered their home, their social
and their religious life. The rail-
road changed the location, but
not the spirit of old Kiron. There
was more progress and more push
some Of the older folk still cling
lovingly to the old Kiron just as
some of their brothers and their sis
tiers in the older days chung to the
Swedish home; but the new Kiron
was inspired with the same thrift
and industry and sobriety and love
of law and order.
.Kiron is one of the few towns of
the county that has more churches
than saloons. 1t is one of the few
towns of the county that built its
churches first and its saloons after
wards. 1t has less crime, less power
ty. less drunkenness, than can be
found in many towns. 1t has more
automobiles and fewer paupers than
any other town of it's size in Iowa.
Just now it is celebrating it's con-
tinued republican prosperity by the
building of one of the finest. larg-
est and most expensive churches in
the county. far cry from the dug
out in which first they worshipped.

The above is only a sample Of the
many demands that are beng made for
the restoration of the circle on the
b allot. The Reporter was opposed
to the removal of the circle in the
first place but so many papers like

moved. that it was done. 1t was not
for the interests OF the voter to have

Fight a Draw


One of the best fistic encounters
of recent times took place in San
Francisco last night when Abe Attell,

fought Battling Nelson Of Chicago to
a Is round draw.
For the first eight rounds OF the
fight Attel had Neyson going and
showed his decided cleverness over

Nelson broke through his opponents

punished AtteIl very badly.
In the 14th round it looked as
