Montezuma Republican: This poll
ties is certainly great game, we
received letter from a Des MONIES
candidate who is running for some
state office and he enclosed an arucle
which was as long as the moral law.
He told us just what a big gun he was
and asked that we not fail to publish
the article on the editorial page the
week before the primaries and send
him one paper. We say that fellow
has more nerve than government
mule. If he thinks the Montezuma
Republican is running for its health
and hasn't anything to publish but
dead-head- ter-political.dope, he is
on his base. There is a lot of good
live news in Poweshiek county and
we feel positive our readers would
rather read it than the history OF
some little two penny politician In
Des Moines who is too cheap to even
send us a nickel for the paper. No,
Mr.. Des Moines politician, you are
too cheap and sorry We must disap-
point you.

reason why Congressman Kendall

good, and we have troubles enough
of our own in the Sixth district with
out importing a batch from the Ninth.

Oskaioosa Times: The "Get-Togeth.
err spirit manifested by our citizens
on the button factory proposition is
to be commended. A few more stunts
of this kind will place oskaloosa in
the booming ranks. Let everything
that makes for the good of our city be
met in the same spirit, and Oskaloosa
will soon be known as place where
they do things.
New Sharon Star: II is fitting that
we should pay homage to the veter
ans living and dead who sacrificed
that this government might endure,
but it is better for us to show fealty
to the principles they agonized for by
maintaining the highest standard of
citizenship and perpetuating to COM
ing generations the peace and free
dom they won for US.

ly estimated at from 80 to 100 years
old. He was a descendant Of II of
the Oldest families of Haiti.
President Nord Alexis achieved the
double purpose of killing as many of
his foes as he could lay hands on and
striking terror ivto the hearts of those
who we've beyond his reach.
After he was educated by his par
ents. he entered the Haitien army and
his bravery SOC drew him into public
attention. lie took part in many
wars and in 1895 rebelled against
HippOlyte, who previously had over
thrown President Legitime. Iiippolyte
died the same year while preparing tC
march against the rebels and he was
succeeded by Gen. Sam. NOrd Alexis
became president of Haiti in 1902.
His term to have expired May -,
1909, but his administration was not
conspicuoUSly successful. Prominent
politicians grumbled because he did
not give them what they considered
their fair share of the spoilS and his
conduct in furnishing some notorious
lOoters OF the national treasury, eX-
cited widespread indignation, as it
was regarded as ii gross breach OF
precedent.
Early in 1908 the movement against
Alexis had gained great strength and
in March a reign of terror was inSti-
gated in Port au Prince. the govern
ment sending out troops who seized
many of the recolutionists, even drag
ging them from their beds and sum
marily put more than a score of them
to death. The number of executions,
according to some reports, reached as
high as As. The w~arships of four ma
tons went in haste to Port au Prince
and their arrival put the seal of Sc
curity on the lives and property Of
foreigners.
For only a few months, however,
did Alexis maintain his rule. In No
vember he ordered Gen. Antoiane Sim
on, commander of the south for 20
years, to come to Port au Prince and
confer with him on the political situa-
ton. General Simon refused to com
ply and Immediately took up arms
against the president. His march to
the capital was a triumphant n for
he seized many towns and gathered a
large force under his banners.
With his approach to Port au Prince
the people Of that city turned against
their PRECEDENT. They surrounded the
palace on the morning of Dec. 2 and
took possession Of the city. At the
last moment Alexis yielded to the
pressure of those about him and de-
cided to take refuge on board the
French warship Dugua Truin.
