TWIN CITIES ENJOYING A BOOM

TWIN CITIES ENJo1lENN ~ poch
The Kimballton Messenger of last
week had the following article concern
ing the boom the twin cities OF Elk
Horn and Kimballton are enjoying:
From ali appearances the entire field
in which this paper circulates is at the
beginning of a building boom which will
result in two of the best cities of their
class in the country. Prosperity has
Elk Horn and Kimballton in its grasp
with vengeance. Business is exceed
ingly good in all lines and nothing can
shake the confidence of the merchants
and their patrons of the future OF two
of the best towns of their size IN the
United States. 1t is noteworthy fact
that Kimballton has the best hotel IN
this section of Iowa, conditions consld-
cred. and now Elk Horn is to follow suit
with a splendid modern hotel that will
be up to date in every particular. The
building now occupied by Hans Marquee
sens store will be remodeled this spring
by Jens Rasmussen and Hans Doe ana
Maruuesen will move into a new build
ing to be erected by M. L. Gregerson on
the site where the fire occurred. just as
is always the case where an unusual
amount of building is to be done all at
once scarcity of labor is the chief handi-
cap but this is no more than any city
has to overcome and as all concerned are
willing topay highest wages there is no
doubt that the men will not be lacking
when they are wanted. In both towns
new homes are to be seen on every hand
and year hence will see Elk Horn and
Kimballton gain big margin ON the
way to population of a thousand. "

ANSWERS DEMOCRATIC EDITOR

Representative Darrah of Charlton,
who is Progressive" republican can.
didate for Congress in the eighth district,
received letter containing numerous
questions from u democratic editor down
at Mount Ayr to which Mr.. Darrah re-
piled as follows:
AS preface to the questions which
you PROFOUND, you give as your reasons
for addressing this communication to
me the following statement, which /
quote from your letter:
las you are an announced candidate
for the republican nomination for con
gress and rs believe party lines may
be quite generally disregarded at the
November election of this year, and rs
many independent and democratic voters
may have occasion to consider your can
didacy should you be nominated by your
party, am addressing you this com
munication.
Accepting the reasons which you give
rs sincere, / desire respectfully to offer
the following suggestions. In as much
as you are editing democratic newspa-
per in the interest of the democratic
party, and us the questions which you
PROFOUND relate to the information of
the independent and democratic voters
with respect to the November election,
and since as you have stated in your
letter, am q candidate for the repuli-
can nomination for the Office of congress-
man from this district, i'm the June pri-
maries at the hands of the republican
party, in which neither Independent or
democratic voters can participate or ex-
press choice as to the selection of the
republican candidate, i therefore regard
your communication as premature, un
by the premises upon which
the communication is based, and in no
sense germane to the contest in which L
am involved. | am, however, making
public this week statement for the in
of the republican voters, set
ting forth my position upon public ques-
tons, copy of which herewith enclose
for such use as You may see fit to make"

COMPLIMENT TO MR.. BYERS

Now that the tremendous importar CO
of the Inter State Commerce Commits
sion's decision in the Iowa stock rate
cases is beginning to be appreciated the
part Acknowledgement ByerS took is
coming more to attention. II Attorney
General had acted in the spirit the Iowa
Rrilroad Commissioners showed the case
would have been defeated. I'm fact If
he had obeyed the instructions of the
Iowa Commissioners he would have un.
dermined the work of Mr.. Thorne and
the Corn Belt Meat Producers Associa-
ton. 1t was because Mr.. Byers, repre-
senting the state, took active hand in
promoting the suit, and because when
it became apparent that the Iowa Com
missioners he was speaking for, had
back tracked, he refused to back track
with them, and i'm consequence the stock
shippers are going to enjoy square
deal MS compared with the stock ship
pers of Illinois and other states.
IL is not every public official who will
do all that he might do, even when he
has plenty of backing. II is certainly
unusual for n public official to do more
than he is expected to do in behalf of
the general public. Mr.. Byers has made
u record in this Que matter that should
entitle him to the friendly considera-
ton of every stock man in Iowa. And
this is not the only instance of the same
sort. AS Attorney General he has lined
his official record with services to the
people of the state not specifically en-
joined upon him, and for which no extra
compensation has been afforded

A GRAND SUCCESS

The two plays given by our honored
home talent, on February q and 2S,
1910, were a grand success. 1t was with
admirable skill and ease each person UNI
dertook his or her part. Sunday night
the audience numbered close on to two
hundred fifty, and Judging by the great
applause they must have been very well
pleased with the plays. 1t has been a
great work and a hard work to learn
these plays, not only learn to SAY it y
but learn to play ii" has been no easy
task. But their work has proven sue
cess and they deserve much apprecia-
ton. Wishing soon to see them on our
little stage again we say Three cheers
for KimballtOn's home talentl" Adding
greatly to the success was the excellent
music furnished by The Kimballton
Orchestra. H. G. Madsen its skillful
leader deserves due appreciation, as well
as the other members for their work,

Gives Protection And Revenue

The tariff has, by its operation in the
past seven months, commended itself to
a large proportion of those who were
against it at the time of its enactment.
1t is not only giving protection to all
the important interests which need any
custom house protection, but it is pro-
ducing much more revenue than the
Dingley act furnished. 1t is doing this
despite the fact that it has enlarged the
free list. Except the tariff act of 1890,
which took the duty off sugar, the Payne
law has placed larger proportion of
our imports on the free list than We're
ever there before. This single fact shows
the absurdity of the democratic and in
surgent charge that the revision under
the law of August 5, 1909, was upward
instead of downward. st. Louis Globe

A MAN OF GOOD JUDGMENT

Hon. w. d. Jameson of Shenandoah,
the democratic congressman from the
eighth district, announces that he will
not stand for reelection. His reason is
poor health and the large expense of
campaign. He says that he will save
about SO, 900 out of the S15, 900 he receives
for this term of two years and that if he
should go into the campaign and be
elected again he would probably not
have any more at the end of another
term. We admire 'Billys" good iudg-
ment in saving his salary and quitting
in time to keep. his money and avoid
getting licked at the November election.
No democrat can be elected in the eighth
this year

IF NOT FACTIONALISM.

We cannot quite get the angle at
which Br'er Phillip views it. He says
there is nothing of the old factional-
ism in the campaign which he is help
ing to organize. In the same breath
he declares that he and his people
will not support Republicans like La
Toilette and McGoyern even if they
should be declared the party nominee
at the September primary. Here is
where We bump up against a stone
wall. Progressive Republicans can be
come regular in Br'er Philips mind
only by abandoning their principles
and becoming as sheep that may be
driven at the will Of the master. AS

that is left to him, according to the
