The facts in the case as to the pos
tai savings bank law are admirably
stated by the Cedar Falls Record.
That paper, like The Gate City, was
never in favor of the law in question,
but the Republican national conven.
ton. declared for it and the Repub'i.
can national administration had to
enact it or break faith with the peo-
pie. The Record says of the situation
thus presented:
Those who voted the Republican
ticket because on the whole they pre-
ferred its platform and its record to
that of the Democratic party were. it
seems to us, in honor bound to assist
in carrying out that promise. Here
in Iowa there is little demand or need
of postal savings banks but that
does not alter the fact that no party
can afford to break its unmistakeable
platform pledges"

Within Our World.

Whether there's a finer world-this
has got to do.
Whether there's a sweeter sky-ours
is very blue!
Whether there's better life-let US
trust and wait;
Love is in the lanes of rest, at the
sweetheart gate!
Whether there's 2 lighter toil-ours is
at His will!
Whether there's brighter land-this
is ours to till.
Whether there's kindlier age
here's our time and place;
Love within the porch of dreams, with
her light, her grace!

The Democrats of the Twentieth
judicial district have renominated
Judge James D. Smyth of Burlington
for district Judge. and, in conformity
with their practice in the past, the
Republicans will make no nomination
against him. This Is deserved
compliment to one of the finest gentle
men and best district judges in Iowa.
Judge Smyth has made record
that reflects the highest credit
upon himself and the district and it
is entirely fitting that he should be
continued in the position he fills so
worthily and well. He is, moreover,
genial and popular as we'll as learned
in the law and pre-eminently fair and
honorable. The voters of the Twen-
tieth district will honor themselves in
giving him their votes.
