BuckEo THE BOARD AND LOST.

At Joliet, Ill, a city in which, by the
way, the penitentiary is most con-
venient, a man named Robert e. Ward
confessed the forgery Of $4,000 worth
Of notes. He received an indetermin-
ate sentence. His story is that of the

Is the one which led the list of dis
honest and grating associations whose
course in misuse of the premiums en-
trusted to them fairly shook the ma
ton, startled the world, and made the
public shun life insurance.
Whether the precept of his company
m ade him feel that evil was the easiest
way to get along when his income of
$4,000 dwindled low following the ma
tional expose, is hardly likely, yet it
seems trite to remark that in follow

lowered thru the distrust of men, he
faced what were for him very hard
tirnes He was used to making money

favorable. His emoluments We're con-
siderable and he was generally used to

but when his pay suddenly fell to the
zero mark, what then? Did he seek
work? Did he go about in search of
employment, even if harder than he
was accustomed to, which would en-
able him to live? Not he. His hands
were soft and he was unused to toll.
The allurements of the speculative

he speculated-and lost. Then he spec

of money without work was still the

contemplate. Borrow he could not,
work he would not, but steal he did.
He used the names Of honest, saving
men on checks, which We're honored,
and yet with all this the elusive profits
of grain gaming did not come to him.
Then he was caught and admitted his
guilt He had lost all his own money
and $4,000 of stolen funds because he
was unwilling to do honest labor.
To the penitentiary he goes to pay
for his folly. to reflect on his miserable
course and to be an example to thous-
ands of young men in these United
States. Wards career demonstrates
again that the only man who can afford
to buck the board of trade is the man
who can afford to lose. 1t is so hazard
Gus business that unless a man has
more money than he needs, he had bet
ter let the game alone.

BETTER ROADS FOR IOWA.
(Dayanport Times)


iowa has for years stood at the top
of the column in educational affairs;
the state has provided the nation
with many eminent men; in the pro-
ductiveness of her farms she is I'M
equaled; bit in the construction of
hard roads this comm onwealth is near
the bottom of the dist standing close
to Mississippi and below Missouri In
diana, which has definite system Of
road building, has $4,000 miles Of hard
roads-line;a1 mileage enough to en-
circle the globe. Thirty-five per cent
Of Indiana'.s highways are hard roads.
Iowa near the bottom of the column,
has only per cent of hard roads.
While the tariff is important and
railroad rates do affect the pros
perity Of the farmer, to how much
greater an extent the prosperity of
the farmer is dependent on the kind
of roads he must travel from his farm
to his market perhaps only he can
tell. 1t would seem reasonable at
least that movement in favor of
better highways ought to receive the
support Of the tanners of the state.
Here is an opportunity for the re-
former to get a bearing Let some
would-be leader put a plank favor
ing hard roads into his platform. His
appeal for support ought to meet with
ready response. There is a chance
for the man who advocates the ere

Mr. Woods was born and raised on a
Wisconsin farm where he at an early
age learned the necessity of solving the
obstacles of practical rural life like
Lincoln, being dependent upon his own
resources for his education which he
secured in the common schools and Ia

own efforts--meanWhile providing for
his aged father and mother.
MIR. Woods is a pleasant man to
meet. He has kind face and an eye
for business indicating that he knows
what he is doing altho not making
much noise about it. He has an execu-
tive ability possessed by few men and
a reputation for doing things, both OF
which were we'll demonstrated in the
last gubernatorial campaign as chair
man of the republican state central

Estherville, Iowa. where his friends are

TWO MEN...1wo SCHOOLS.

Mr.. Trewin and Mr.. Good rival can.
didates for the republican nomination
4 for congressman, have both made
/ speeches in this county. There is foot
for reflection in what they have sale
and likewise information from which
| to judge what kind of trial of the
peoples case they would put up if sem
| to Washington with power of attorney
| Mr.. Trewin eulogizes the republi-
can party from Fremont to Roosevelt
and declares that all the party has ever
done is right. With Mr.. Trewin what
ever is Is right and there is not one
word of sympathy for the party man
who feels that President Roosevelt is
a better republican than Steve Elkins
or Senator Aldrich. Impatience among
voters at the refusal of congress to
do something in the way of correcting
abuses as suggested by the president
finds no recognition in Mr.. Trewins
remarks. From all that he says Joe
Cannon could believe that were Mr..
Trewin sent to congress he would be
entirely content with the present atti-
tude Of congress.
Mr. Goods address Is Of different
type. He, too, begins with the repub-
lican party of Fremont and lauds with
eloquent praise the deeds it has per-
formed, but he argues that there is a
duty before 1t today to wrest control
Of the government from the powerful
men Of great wealth classed as the
special interests. He refers to the fight
the republican party made to over
throw the oligarchy of the rich slave
owners and cries: "Come on, boys!
We licked them once, and we can do
it again!" He argues that President
Roosevelt has sounded the note of real
republicanism, and he condemns the in
action of a congress which will permit
shrewd and cunning railroad attorneys
to hold it back to obstruct everything
the president seeks to do Good be-
lieves in a new DEAL He believes in
leading his party into the doing of
things that will win for it praise rather
than mere eulogizing the party name.
These two men are fair types of the
two schools Of republicanism in Amer
lean politics today. Roosevelt and
Taft are national leaders of one school
and Good would enlist as a company
sergeant in a congressional district.
Aldrich and Elkins and Joe Cannon
and Fairbanks are national leaders OF
the other school, and Jim TreW.n
argues for their doctrines and creed.
The friends of Trewin call Goods
creed democratic, just as the great in
terests call Roosevelt unsafe" and a
thief Of democratic doctrine. Good
says that he has learned that the man
OF wealth will look out for himself,
leaving the public servant on guard
for the average citizen. These men all
vote the republican ticket, but their

NOT A voTE-GETTER.
(Ottumwa Review.)


Such an address as listened to by 9
big audience Of voters last Saturday
at the Grand was wholly unexpected
by the majority Of those present. Il
was announced that the record Of ALI
son and his claim on the republican
citizen of Iowa would he illumined and
advanced with the eloquence Of United
States Senator Johnathan p. Dolliver
until none were so blind in prejudice
but that they would concede the re-
election of the nestor of the upper
branch Of the American congress.
Democrats In attendance were also sur
prised at the character Of the address.
It was such a deluge Of vitriolic ora
tory as seldom heard under any cir
cumstances, surely never before in this
city.
If there is any badge Of shame on
the state Of Iowa at this time it has
been placed there by effects from such
speeches as Doliver delivered on the
plea than his own political integrity
had been s.ssailed along with the re-
mainder of the Iowa delegation.
Logic Of fact absolutely void Of sem
sationalism and presented in a manly
manner alone produces lasting convic-
ton. The hope is entertained even
among the democrats Of Wapello
county that we have no more of this
sort of thing in the city of Ottumwa
this year

ReSuming Work

j. +. Patterson of this city, who had
just started on his sub-contract from
Erickson q Peterson for clearing and
leveling the depot grounds here last
fall when the suspension order came,
has received letter from Chief Engi-
neer Boschke of the o. r.. & NJ, in
regard to resuming the same work
under the direction of the railroad
construction department. The letter
asked for terms of workinen, teams,
superintendent, etc.
A special from La Grande to the
News Record states that the O. r. Il
n. concrete mixer has been brought
there from the Riparia- Lewiston
bridge over the Clearwater, and the
presumption is that it is in readiness
to begin work on the abutments of the
permanent bridge over the Grande
Ronde at the mouth of the Wallowa.
The bridge over Cabin creek below
Elgin, washed out last week, has been
replaced and train of logs for the
Palmer lumber mill went through
Elgin Thursday.
There is general belief in railroad
circles both at La Grande and Elgin
that work on the Joseph extension
will be resumed in few weeks.
