DEMOCRATS
MAKING GOOD
Ante Election Pledges In
Formulating Bills to Garry
Out Promises of the
Party.

Columbus. Jan. 31.--It is evident
from the action of Democratic mem
bors OF both houses In promptly in
Producing beneficial measures so long
| denied the people by Republican gen
| eral assemblies, that the pledges OF
the Democratic party to the people
in the last campaign viii be fulfilled
Although the present session Is less
than one month old all of the DEM
ncratic party platform promises but
one have been drafted into bills, and
are now pending i'm the legislature.
There are nine of these measures as
follows: one per cent. tax rate, reSo-
luton for ratification Of the incom"
tax amendment of the federal consti'
| tuition, nomination OF United States
senator's by popular vote, uniform
school book law, the initiative and
| referendum, the extension of teach
| ing of agriculture, taking OF courts
out of politics by bipartisan judi
| ciary measure, eight hour work day
| for women, and the honest handling
Of state funds by depositing at COM
| pettive bidding.
| The only party platform not yet
| before the general assembly Is the
| public utilities bill That is being
| drafted by Representative Winters OF
| Sandusky and will he introduced
| shortly. The efforts of Democrats
legislators to bring about reforms so
that individual burdens will be lessen
ed has not been confined to the intro
duction of measures promised in the

cral additional popular measures. The

which are not promised in the plat
form. 1t Is significant that Republi-
can members have not introduced a

a progressive one. They apparently

The business policy Of Governor

my every promise made in the party

Frank A. Noyak Is free man. He
was released from the penitentiary
here at midnight between Sunday and
Monday. He spent a part of Mon
day in Fort Madison and then left
the town. His destination is not
known at the prison. He is an ex-
pert photographer, having learned the
business in the penitentiary. Novak
was convicted of the murder of Ed
ward Murray in Benton county, Iowa,
Dec. 4, 1897. The jury found him
guilty of murder In the second degree
and in its verdict attempted to fix
his sentence at ten years. 1t had no
right to fix the sentence, and when
so informed recommended sen.
tence of ten years, but Judge G. w.
Burnham sentenced him for life.
Later he Joined in the movement to

he retired from the office of governor

New Phase in Liquor Suit.

Iowa City, Sept. Especial; A new
phase of the liquor problem and
mulct law will be thrashed out in the
district court OF Iowa City as a re-
suit of the anti-saloon activities of the
Civic League here. J. NJ. Webb has
been sued by John n. Bothell, prom
inent retired farmer, who is a league
leader. The court is asked to grant
an injunction closing the Webb sa-
loon. 1t is not charged that Webb,
personally, violated the law, but that
he secured his place of business from
Kennedy & Co., taking over the latter
firms license. 1t is alleged the ear
lier firm violated the law by selling
to "Keeleyites" and others, that the
injunction that the court granted
prevened the sale of the saloon to
Webb, and that Webb, whether he
observes the mulct law or not in
other respects, is not legally in pos
session of a license. This is the first
time the knotty point has reached the
local courts.

COOPERATIVE STORE
New Business Institution Opened
to the Public Last Saturday.

Oskaloosa's new cooperative store,
No. 323 High avenue West, the loca'
ton of the former Swearingen mar
ket. opened Saturday for business and
had an unexpected trade, considering
the informality of the opening. The
work of preparation has been hurried
and no one could predict the date OF
opening. The place was not ready
for business Saturday, but the de-
mand was so great that the doors
were opened and inconvenience were
tolerated. The store will not have
all departments complete before a
week or ten days. Saturdays trade
was exceptionally heavy and exceed
ed the expectations of the manage
ment.
Will Mcdonald, we'll known to Os-
kaloosa grocery trade, is manager OF
the new store. Will was formerly
with several Oskaloosa firms and
has been in business for himself. He
is assisted by Walter X. Hook, head
clerk, Robert Kyer, Harry Griftiths
and Clarence Selks. Miss Cora Han
sen is book-keeper and cashier of the
establishment. The new store opens
under promising conditions and will
no doubt make good in the field.

what terrific wear and tear Of gray
matter it must have cost some one
to evolute the remarkable order:

If anyone cared to drive an autoIhO-
bile less than ten miles per hour.
And what brilliant genius do you sup
pose worked out the original idea Of
driving to the right? Hasn't it been
a written and unwritten law-at least
hereabout5, ever since Jehu drove his
first tandem of Egyptian donkeys, to
drive to the right? And how fearful
