Der this as his prime obligation. and
in private life as much as in public
life so to carry himself that the Amer
lean people may never have cause to
feel regret tina. once they placed him
at their head
Commenting upon Colonel Roose-
velt's words, the Quincy paper says:
James Mckinney and Theodore
Roosevelt have the same feeling con-
corning pubic servants, and they have
voiced the same thought, only Mr..
Roosevelt voiced it more deliberately.
There is no doubt that these two men
have truly voiced the sentiment OF al!
true public servants; for man that
has been elected to Office has received
from the people token of apprecla.
ton that cannot be repaid except IN
the manner as indicated by Mr.. Nc
Kinnay and Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS President Cleveland put 1t: A
public office is public trust The
Burlington Hawk-Eye recalls the say
ing to give added force to its declare
ton, in line with the above. that the
men elected to discharge that trust
are the servants of the people and
they should assume the attitude OF ser
wants rather than of dictators and
bosses. The Hawk-Eye goes on &c
say:
The servants of the people is not
meaningless phrase to be takeT
fiippantly, Its. full import Is pubic
service. This requires courtesy, ap
proachableness. a willing spirit to ge'
into touch with the people and ascer
tain their views and wishes. Mr. Tart
the chief executive of the greatest O
nations, is of affable Temperament
and beloved by all who come in con
tact with him No one appearing II
his presence would expect curt re
Spouse or the manifestation OF indif
ference and annoyance at an intrusion
James Mckinney, of Quincy, ha'
the right idea of the requisites Q
public service. He ought to be eiecte'
by a humping majority as a pupii
endorsement of good manners.

COURTESY IN THE PUBLIC SER.
VICE

The Quincy Journal commends the
spirit of the announcement card of
James Mckinney, a candidate for
county clerk, who has caused to be
printed on his card three requisites
for public service The first requisite
is that public servants should be-
Competent and adhere strictly to
their dnties." And. second, that they
should be-
Courteous to all and as accommo-
dating as is consistent with their
duties" And, third. they should be-
Progressive and enterprising. and,
in public way, pay back to the peo-
pie the debt of gratitude for election. /"
"On James McKinnay's card" says
the Journal, these wise precepts may
( have been thought commonplace by
# some persons. But they are common
place no longer, for. last Saturday,
+ Theodore Roosevelt, in MS great
speech in New York elaborated the
third requisite on James McKinnay's
card, as follows

Smith Brookhart.

Keosauqua Republican: Smith
Brookhart is the kind of candidate
that it is pleasure to meet when the
campaign is over. He is just as good
a Republican as loser as he would
have been as winner He is no
sorehead. If there is anything the
average citizen has down-in-the-heart
disrespect for, it is the aspirant for
political position who is all wrong
for his party when he fails to secure.
or to hold, position he asks for.
Mr.. Brookhart made vigorous cam.

and received a good vote, and now,
that he failed to win, he is for the
fellow who did win, and Congress

The Purpose Of tho Campaign


Burlington Hawk-Eye: Referring
to the Republican state convention.
the Mount Pleasant News SAYS:
1T is safe to say that the utter
ances OF the convention will not be
radical Progressives are not as half
baked as the Hawk-Eye would indi-
ca.c. but it is safe bet that the con-
yention will not adopt a resolution
rejecting upon the conduct of Sena,
tors Iolliver and Cummins, and it was
this point for which the great fight
was made
The News entirely misconceives the
purpose of the Taft Republican cam
paign, and is misleading its readers.
The object of the Taft Republicans is
to indorse the national administration
as was freely and frankly proclaimed
from the beginning. The next general
assembly does not elect a United
4 States senator. unless vacancy oc
h ours through death or resignation. The
convention is not called upon to make
any expression as to the United States
i senatorship. Its primal duty is to fiji

cans of the other states in indorse

Crnn PROSPECTS,.

Keosauqua Independent: Colonel
Blackledge, on returning from an ex-
tensiye trip over this and adjoining
counties, brings encouraging reports,
as to crop conditions. Generally
speaking, everything looked fine, with
Van Buren, county well up toward the
front in prospects. Meadows have adj
vanced so per cent in the last two
weeks, oats in splendid condition
clover as good as he had ever seen
while corn was making rapid strides
and the stand was pretty good. The
colonel knows his business and the
report will be gladly received by ouI
readers. With favorable conditions
for the balance of the year we should
have an immense crop.

At the time the two-cent fare law
was enacted it was claimed that the
increased travel induced by the lower
rate would increase railroad earnings
over what they we're at the three-cent
rate. This prediction has not been
fulfilled The net earnings OF Iowa
railroads three years ago we're s21.-
100000. Two years ago they were
ST., sq3, 900. Last rear they were sf6,-
$4,000. Il is estimated that 40 per
cent Of the gross earnings OF roads Is
paid out in the form Of wages TO EN-
ployes and that over 80 per cent more
is paid ont for materials to keep the
roads in repair and the rolling stocl
in order.

The Gate City is thoroughly in
sympathy with the movement for a
shorter ballot. There should be fewer
nominations by vote and the concen-
tration of responsibility on the few
nominees at the head of the ticket.
The principle Of the commission plan
of city government should be extended
to apply 10 the selection OF state of
fcers. The railroad commissioners.
the state superintendent Of schools.
the reporter of the supreme court
the clerk OF the same tribunal and
other minor officials should all be ap
pointed. 1t is not possible for the
average voter to be sufficiently vel
acquainted with all the candidates
who may come up for these positions
to be able TO make intelligent choice
between them Let the legislature

an important forward step in the in
terest of good government.

It now appears that it was all a
mistake about a case of genuine pei
lagra having developed in Iowa. The
Marengo man who was sent to a state

pellagra has been sent home cured.
And he wasn't cured of peliagra,
either. Human Judgment as to the
exact nature OF a case of disease isn't
infalIible in every instance-yet.
