Iowa should adopt systematic
policy of eliminating dangerous
railroad crossings. The freight
rates should be increased. IL neces-
sary. to follow out this policy.
do not think, however, that any
increase would be necessary.
l believe that freight rates all
over the nation are generally low.
All the changes needed should be
for the purposes of equalization.
All favored zones. cities and dis
tricts should no longer be favored.
In the year 1907, 1889 persons
were killed by the railroads of the
United States and in the same year
over 200 were injured. This
frightful holocaust must stop.
Those killed were for the most
part railway employees. They were

man and honors the ticket by be-
ing one of the candidates.
Dr. A. J. Swezey has been county
coroner for number of years, and
while he did not wish to be a cam
didate this year, was nominated in
spite of himself and will be elect
ed, and give good service.
Clarence Christen, candidate for
supervisor in this district, (the
fifth, raised on farm, steward of
the county poor farm, and in busi-
ness for number of years, ought
to know and does know the de-
mands of this important office. He
is splendidly qualified for the posi-
ton, and will make good official.
The other candidates for super
visor, cuts of whom We regret that
we do not have, are also splendid
men for the positions they seek.
John p. Bake in the first district
and Claude Morton in the third
district. Both are prominent and
successful farmers, men of expert
ence and judgment. and will make
competent and honest officials il
elected, as they should be.
Such are the men whom the re-
publican party present to the
voters of Winneshiek county. All
of them have been fairly nomin-
ated by the votes of the members
of the party at the primary, and
are entitled to the support of all
republicans. Let Winneshiek coun-
ty give them an old time republican
majority at the coming election.

nominated, and while there is a
strong campaign being made
against him, there is little doubt
that he will render good ac-
count of himself at the polls.
Dr.. P. NJ. Jewell, the party S
candidate for state senator, is a
man of ability and character. He
has the benefit of experience in the
house of representatives, and a
knowledge of public matters which
will be of much service to him in
the higher branch of the legisla-
ture.
l.. NJ. Enger, the candidate fol-
state representative, possesses many
of the qualifications necessary for
good legislator. His newspaper
work has given him knowledge in
political matters. and he has been
q deep student of state affairs. He

that we failed to get a cut of Mr.
Jorgenson, as he really is the best
locking man in the whole list.
The office of county auditor has
within the past few years become
probably the most important in the
county. The added work placed
upon the auditor by the past two
legislatures makes the office a par
ticularly important one, and the
merits of the candidates should be
carefully considered. Both are
fine young man, but Mr.. w. B
Reed, the republican candidate
brought to the deputy position a
good education, coupled with an
experience in business which gave
him the poise and judgment neces-
sary for the position. His knowl-
edge of the duties of the office, his
familiarity with details. his kindly
courteous nature, his splendid pen
manship and care of the records
and in fact every characteristic and
qualification necessary for this
position is possessed by him. There
is no reason why he should not

capable and experienced in this line

DEBORAH IS HON0RED
One of FOrty-Eight Cities in United
States to Get POstoffice Bank.
Postal Savings Bank Trustees Name
DecOrah, on Account of Large
Foreign Population.

Decorah is this week in the pub
lie eye throughout the entire state
and somewhat over the nation. by
reason of the fact that this city is
the only one in the state named
for the establishment of the new
government postal savings bank.
The trustees having the matter in
charge have selected one town in
each state and territory for the
first trial of the new system, and
Decorah is the city selected for
Iowa, largely on account of the
fact that this vicinity has a large
percentage of foreign population.
and it is believed that the postal
savings bank system will appeal
especially to them.
The trustees are Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock, Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh and Attorney
General Wickersham. They met in
the Office of the postmaster general
Saturday.
The list they formally approved
was selected after careful investi-
cation by the postal officials with
view to making the first test OF
the service as thorough as possible
under the limited appropriation of
100000 provided by congress,
which includes all the expenses of
equipment, including the engrav-
ing and printing of forms, certif-
Gates, bonds, clerical assistance, etc.
Owing to the smallness of this
appropriation it has been impossible
to establish postal savings banks
during the first year in the large
cities.
Communities were chosen in
which the conditions were excep-
tionally favorable for the develop
ment of a postal savings business,
mostly industrial centers where
wage earners will be especially
benefited by the kind of banking
facilities afforded.
A large patronage of the service
is expected by the officials from
foreign born Americans in these
cities who are now remitting con-
siderable sums to their native coun-
tries usually in the form of money
orders.
Many of the places selected, par
ticularly those in the west, are not
adequately provided with other
savings institutions.
The offices designated are as
follows:
Bessemer, Ala; Globe, Ariz.;
Stuttgart, Ark; Oroville, CAL;
Leadville, Colo; Ansonia. Conn;
Dover, Del; Key West, Fla;
Brunswick, Ca; Occur D'Alene,

Public Opinion stands for the
whole republican ticket. 1t has
never yet bolted the ticket, and
does not propose to do so,
so long as clean. honest men are
the party's nominees. At the same
time it does not deem it necessary
to insult the democratic candidates,
for there are good men on the
democratic ticket also.

Republican administrations, with
no misgivings about using national

ton of selecting United States
p. Dolliyer.
At the present time a large ma
jority of the republican nominees
for the state legislature are in
surgents ana if the legislature has
a republican majority the insurgents
as the matter now stands could
name the United States senator.
The democratic state central
committee made two propositions
10 the republican state central
committee. One is that they agree
to a senatorial primary on the day
of the general election when an
informal vote shall be taken by re-
publicans and democrats as to
their choice for United States
senator and thus morally appoint
ing party .embers in the general
assembly to vote for the party
candidates receiving the largest
vote. The second proposition is
that Gov. Carroll call special ses-
sion Of the legislature Immediately
to amend the law making it pos
sible for a primary to be held
November Sth.
If these propositions had been
accepted by the republican state
central committee which is con-
trolled by insurgents then the next
United States senator from Iowa
would be one representing the
choice of the people. The PROPOSE
tion was quickly turned down and
new democrat leaders claim il
shows that the insurgents are not
sincere in their demand for popular
choice of United States senator and
are cnly too willing to grasp the
opportunity now afforded them to
name an insurgent to the senate
regardless of what may be the will
OF the people.
