son for it. The very appointment BY
the supreme court is the highest evil
dence that the man is highly fit for
the place. Iowa never had better
clerk, and that is saying much.
Though an elective state officer, Mr..
Bosquet will meet train in the night
to help some one file paper in time.
The evenings find him at work as
though he. were beginner, striving
for promotion, instead of the head OF
state department. 1t is pleasant
! sight to watch him help some humble

| has a courtesy that is delightful be
cause so absolutely kindly and genuine
and so unlike the skin-decp politeness
of the politician.
We do not hold that men should be
given office simply because they were
/ soldiers, but we still are proud of the
patriotic sentiment of the Republican
party. which has always lead it to
deal tenderly with those who rsked
their lives for our salvation. There
will not be many candidates this year
who wore the blue; and there must
be less and less every year. Mr..

We have supreme faith in the good
sense of the Iowa Republicans of any
