EMBARRASSING ASSET.

The other day the Illinois Courier,
published at Jacksonville, H., pub
.lished an editorial relating to parma
mentary practice in the Morgan Coun-
ty Medical society and having to DO
with a proposed water supply source.
The Couriers relation was based upon
information furnished by worthy mem
bers of TIE society and q publication
made later and apparently directly In
spired leads to the belief that the
Courier was correct as far as 1t went.
but it went only SO far as the Informal
tion at hand justified The incident
leads the Courier to remark that limit
ed information is at times an embar-
RAISING asset, and reminds it OF the
following:
A score and more of years ago, when
Arkansas was even more .sbackwOods
than at the present day a member of
tie legislature from Bitter Greek arose
and addressed the presiding officer:
Mr.. Speaker: have been informed
that the tariff is an iniquity |, there
fore move that the tariff be abolished"
The Speaker: The member from
Bitter Creek is out of order. The tar
if is something with which only the
congress of the United Sta,es has to
do. The Arkansas legislature is row
erless in the premises. .
Member from Bitter Creek: Then
Mr.. Speaker, have been misinformed
and amend my motion by moving that

their reports at the end of the presen'
week 1t is believed the canvass mas
been thorough one, but despite tne
greatest care it sometimes happens
that persons who should be enroiieo
are missed. Many people have moved
since April 15-census day. Ii they
have not already done so they shouio
look up the enumerator OF the dlstrlc'
in which, they resided on that day and
have the names of themselves and
their families placed on the lists. Like
wise any others who have not been
enumerated should hunt up the prop
er enumerator and give in their names
In order that people who have not
been listed may have no trouble in
locating the different enumerators the

are given herewith:

The Whole Truth.

Keosauqua Republican: In a dis
torted, unfair and misleading article
in a recent issue of LaFollette's paper
relative to Congressman Kennedy Of
this district, copies of which some
one caused to be distributed through
out this county, is this paragraph:
And finally, he tKennedy voted
with the regulars against unseating
Cannon as speaker of the house."
Yes, that is true, but If the person
who wrote the article had in him. at
the time he penned 1t, the least in
tention of being just, he would have
added another truth, viz: And every
other member of the Iowa delegation
lprogressives and standpatters alike
voted just as Mr. Kennedy did" Thai
would have been the whole truth.

New Works. Moral Landslide

Keosauqua Republican: The defeat

few days ago, was not in any respect
a political landslide" as some papers
have designated It, 1t might properly
be termed moral landslide" "A
moral awakening for against the
election of Aldridge was arrayed in
the city of Rochester and the county
in which that city is located. the
united ministry of the churches and
large majority of the church mem
bers, most of whom were Republicans
So pronounced was the moral oppo-
sition against Aldridge, that the min
listers of the city worked on the
streets against him on election day.
Rochester city, and the county in
which it is located, compose con.

4 fore the election it became public that
Aldridge had some time previous been
party to case of seeming bribery
and had accepted $1,000 check from
an insurance agent for his help in
securing certain legislation for said
agents business.
Like the rule, with such wrong
doors, Aldridge moved on in society
and political circles in brazen

character, until his crime was dis
