dearly and now Cannonism is a great
big issue all over Kansas.
l. Vice President Sherman is warm
friend of Speaker Cannon, but he felt
that the Speaker had been unwise in
Haunting himself in such an interview.
Once or twice last winter, the Speaker,
exasperated by unfair attacks upon
him. said things which his Republican
associates thought could have been bet
ter left unsaid. As Representative
Longworth had ideas about a statement
declaring he would not support the
Speaker for another term, it was
thought a good scheme that the state
ment be launched forthwith. 1t had
been talked over with the President
and was talked over more that after
noon. Mr.. Longworth was at the cot
tage at the time and had rough draft
of his statement.
The long and the short Of II was that
the next day Mr. Longworth called at
the executive offices and after further
consultation with Secretary Norton had
several copies made by the executive
clerks and handed the sheets out to the
newspaper correspondents.
Mr.. Longworth made the Speaker 5
red hot interview his EXCUSE for an
nouncing that he would not vote for
him again He said he made the state
ment on his own initiative and was
solely responsible for it. While the
words he spoke were literally true, II
was evident on every hand that the
administration was cordially approving
of his step. That idea was promptly
conveyed in the news dispatches ana

him up. Choy ran into John Wise and
asked him to help him. John saw the
man was wounded, owing to the flow
of the blood which trickled through
the man 5 fingers. Wise asked how he
became wounded. Choy said he had
been stabbed, and, turning about. point
ed to Lee, who was approaching, and
identified him as his assailant. When
Lee came near Wise saw he had one
hand in his pocket. When close mp

bled to death on the spot. Lee said he
would have stood there and waited for

a coon EXAMPLE.

The little town of Wyaconda, over
in Clark county, Missouri, has set an
example of public-spiritedness that
many larger communities might well
emulate. 1t has recently completed
what is conceded to be the finest
school building in the county, at a
cost of $4,000. The structure is a
handsome one OF pressed brick and is
a fitting testimonial to the education
al spirit of Wyaconda and vicinity To
understand and appreciate this fully
1t should be known that only $4,000
could be raised by bonding the dis
trict, and $1,000 was all that was
realized from the sale of the old build
ing. In order to erect and equip the
kind of building upon which the
community had set its heart $4,000 ad
ditional was needed, and this was
readily raised by popular subscription
Many farmers living out and away
from the town contributed literally
The whole accomplishment reflects
the highest credit upon the good PEG

town will be heard from in future
in no uncertain tones in the promo
tion of the public welfare.

William Randolph Hearst has writ
ten letter in answer to an editorial
in the New York World, in which he
declares that he knows Colonel
Roosevelt ito be so astonishingly in
consistent that he cannot reconcile
SO great inconsistency with sincerity
Or with much purpose" He also de-
clares that he knows the colonel to
be ambitious, vain and selfish, recll-
less and cratic" and he does not
consider these qualities compatible
with a sound policy or safe conduct
of public affairs. He furthermore
complains that "Mr. Roosevelt's op-
position to bosses is too pc. onal, too
limited, too restricted. In his own
state Mr.. Roosevelt did no more than
to depose Boss Barnes, who was his
personal enemy. and install his boss
of the state Republican party, Mr.
Root, who is his personal friend" Il
| is an open question whether criticism
from that source is a harm or bene

BLOOD Foa DISTRICT JUDGE.

AS the campaign nears its close it
looks more and more as if Hon. w. G.
Blood would be endorsed for district
Judge by good majority. The desir-
ability of change in this important
office has been forcing itself upon the
attention OF the taxpayers of the coun-
ty for some time and the occasion Is
opportune for giving force and effect
to the increasing public sentiment on
the subject. Especially is the time OPP
perfume because OF the character and
qualifications of the gentleman named
above, who is in every way fitted for
the judicial position and has every
merit of ueseryingness.
Mr.. Blood is wellknown in keokuk
and throughout Lee county. He was
reared in Keokuk, received his pri-
mary education in its schools, made a
fine record as principal of one Of
them and later served with distinc-
ton as a member of the local board OF
education. When the war with Spain
became imminent he was one of the
first to enlist in the service of his
country He has to his credit also two
terms as county attorney and one
term as city attorney. His efficiency
in these positions was the subject OF
general commentator at the time and
since. In every position in which he
has been placed he has distinguished
himself by his ability and his fidelity
to duty.
Among the influences contributing
to the success of Mr.. Blood's candi
dacy for district judge, which nov
seems quite well assured, is the gen
eral desire referred to above to have
the business of the court promptly
dispatched. with consequent large
saving of expense to the taxpayer
of the county. The latter have no
forgotten how Mr.. Blood as count!
attorney brought the business of tina
Office up to date and kept 1t there
while serving in that capacity. The.
are well assured tina he would do thu
same thing as district judge AS h
would enjoy better opportunities OF
the bench for practicing econom.
than he did as county attorney thu
savings effected would be correspond
4 ingly larger and more gratifying.
i Mr.. Blood is we'll known all owe
Lee county and is held in the highes
I; esteem by men of all parties. Hi
j personal popularity, combined wit
4 his known ability and fitness for tn
bench, make him an exceedingl
strong candidate. 1t only remains TO
the voters of the county to cast thei
votes for him in sufficient number t
elect him to give the county the benz
fit Of his attainments and services.

In his speech at Atlantic Secretary
Wilson recalled the early days when
we in this country were all producers
of bread and meat In describing
conditions then he said with truth
and telling effect:
I'VE couldn't sell things to each
other, so those products mad to find
their way 10 Europe. Those people
didn't grow corn and wheat and cat
tie and hogs. We didn't get big
prices for our products in those days.
Why, l remember of getting thirty
eight cents bushel for corn after
carrying it seventy-five miles to Cedar
Rapids. The Democrats would bring
us back to those conditions. They
are as honest as we are, but they are
everlastingly wrong. Use them on
school boards and as town trustees,
but don't send them to make our ma
tional laws because they are always
wrong"

AN OLD SOLDIER CANDIDATE.

The old soldiers of Iowa will have
opportunity on election day to give
support to one of their old comrades
in the person of David j. Palmer of
Washington county who is candidate
for railroad commissioner. Mr.. Pal
mer wears the bronze button, badge
of honor earned by loyal service in
defense of the Union. Nowadays this
opportunity does not come to the old
soldiers often. Old soldier candidates
are now the exception. But few Of the
veterans of '61'65 are now holding
4 Office The old soldiers of Iowa no
\ longer have representative from
their ranks in congress and the
names of but few old soldiers appear
on county, state or national tickets.
And so Iowa voters ought to feel a
deep interest in the success of Col
onel Palmer. He is the only old sol
der candidate on the state ticket and
his comrades especially should ex.
ert themselves to see that he has a
big vote The sons of soldiers ought
to support this veteran out of respect
and admiration for the war service
!, rendered by their fathers. Colonel
Palmer was a good soldier; his wal
record is without spot or blemish
He has been faithful, painstaking
r public official, and his record there
! like his war record, is clear ant
9 clean. That his comrades of the civil
: war will give him loyal support goes
e without saving.

When the Witness Turned.

lawyer he knew several years ago.
THE lawyer" said Mr. Kalisch, chad
a fashion of brow-beating every wit
ness that came on the stand for the
opposite side in the case. Once he
was examining rather meek-looking
man who steadfastly refused to give
a plain answer to any of the lawyers
questions. At last in replying to one
question the witness answered that
he was unable to say either yes or
no.
Now, that is ridiculous answer,
said the lawyer. DO you mean to
tell me that you could possibly ask
me question to which could not
answer yes or no?'
well said the witness, as he
leaned forward and looked at his tor
mentor, will you please tell the court
by answering yes or no, If in your
estimation you are really as stupid ant
foolish as you look. y

DO You Want This?

Burlington Hawk Eye: Do the
Iowa voters who read these lines real
ize what it means to repeal the mulct
law and substitute the local option IL
cense proposed by the Democratic
platform? There have been years OF
litigation in the state and federal
courts over various phases of the pres
ent Iowa liquor laws. Apparently
every disputable point has been ad-
Indicated. 1t has required years and
much expense to have all these phases
of legislation settled definitely. The
law is now being administered quietly,
without turmoil, and hardly any ex-
pense to the state. Prohibition pre-
walls in communities where the peo-
pie want it so: saloons are permitted
under certain well-defined restrictions
where the majority of the voters at
the previous general election petition

CURED This costly ana disturbing
feature of the local option license
system in other states is avoided.
The latter always creates great bitter
ness in neighborhoods where the liq-
uor interests spend money freely to
organize their forces and carry the
election for license. The towns are
] all torn up with the strife, and the
method has proven to be very unsatis-
factory.
The Iowa plan is far superior. 1t
saves neighborhood discussions and
feuds; it promotes peace and gives
opportunity for legitimate business to
be carried on without turmoil. Neigh
