The practice of making large
appropriations from the national
treasury to build canals and i'm
prove rivers has in almost every
instance been at the call of com
mercial interests that profit
through the traffic aided by such
improvements. Aside from the
protective advantage gained by
the nation through a quick pas
sage of our warships from ocean
to ocean, all the benefit of the
$4OO, 900, 900 that will be spent on
the Panama canal will be reaped
by commercial interests. The
cost of course falls upon the peo-
pie generally, who will gain prac-
tically nothing from the outlay
beyond the national protection al
ready mentioned. But on the
other hand, were our national
treasury to lend itself to the pro-
motion of national highways to
the same extent that it lends aid
to various waterway projects, the
benefit would be direct to the
people. But this would be So
cialism, confusion to anything
that smacks of that idea.

The Globe Democrat admits,
to itself at least, that the newly
organized Republican Progress
sive League does not seriously
threaten the equanimity of the
regular organization of the party.
The Republican party, it claims,
has met and withstOOd greater
revolts in the past and survived
them. The Globe however sizes
up the present situation by esti-
mating the quantity of party dis
affection from the little coterie of
men in Washington who stand at
the head of this newly organized
progressive league. A more
competent and truthful estimate
may be made from the returns
of the election last November,
which also signify more for the
future OF the Republican party
than do the names of a few men
at the head of party movement.
The episode of the election is
still recent enough to impress
most sensible political thinkers
that there is a feeling at work in
the minds of a large number of
adherents of the Republican par
ty that is quite in harmony with
the platform just promulgated
by the Progressive Republican
League, and, parenthetically, it
may be added here, that aside
from it's declaration on the tariff,
there is nothing in that platform

istratiOn of Mr.. TolertOn. Some
of his deputies may have made
mistakes, but the charge of dis
honesty on their part, or on the
part of Mr.. Tolerton, is not JUS
tilted. But for the political and
personal schemes involved no in
vestigation of the Game and Fish
Department would have been
even suggested.
AS the Democratic contestants
for Supreme Judge and Super
intendent of Schools cannot af-
ford the cost of such an investi-
cation by the Supreme Court
Commissioner of the ballots cast
at the November election in ST.
Louis as would be necessary
without expensive data, the Dem
ocrats in the legislature have
provided for an investigation at
the cost of the State, and a leg
islative committee is now at
work trying to blaze the way for
the commissioner so he can get
for no cost what the Democratic
contestants would have to pay
dearly for. Ostensibly after
facts on which to determine the
legislative contests from St.
Louis this committee Of four
Democrats and only two Repub-
licans will recount the ballots,
compare the ballots with the poll
books, run down doubtful voters,
tabulate returns and do anything
else necessary to give the Su-
preme Court Commissioner a
lead when he begins his work.
, That will reduce the cost of the
commissioners work to the
| minimum, and if the Democratic
contestants lose their cases in
court they will have less to pay
for their folly. AS a matter of

are not to pay the costs but rely

that money of the state has not
been properly expended by
them. This particular investi-
CATION was promoted by oppon-
ents of game and fish laws but
was seized by extremists among
the Democrats as an opportunity
to vindicate John P. Gordon, the
Democratic State Auditor, who
has opposed and harrassed Mr.
Tolerton ever since the new
game and fish laws became eff
fective. Gordon made spec
tacle of himself during the cam
paign by the use of unfair and
misleading figures alleged to
have been taken from the books
of the state. When Republican
newspapers exposed him he shut
up like clam. Now he is get
ting the aid of a Democratic ma
jority in the legislature to show
that a few dollars were drawn
from public funds without war
rant of law, though not dollar
can be paid by the State Treas
urer without his (Gordon's) war
rant. The state will be put to a
cost of thousands in an attempt
to show that Gordon was right
in protesting the payment of a
few doubtful items aggregating
but small sum at most. The
Republicans of the House and
Senate could not consistently
oppose the Tolerton investiga-
ton because it was welcomed by
Mr.. Tolerton and fair investi-
cation was due him after the
charges of Gordon and other
Democrats had been advanced.

Jefferson City Letter.

Special Correspondence.
jefferson City, January 30
Four of the ten weeks allotted to
the General Assembly for legis-
lative work have passed, and
still the time of Democratic
members is occupied chiefly
with partisan schemes and pure
ely political maneuvering. Some
progress has been made in use
full legislation but a number of
partisan Democrats have been
busy playing the part of pointers
for the big party leaders, who
are hunting for Republican Of
ticials to shoot at, while others
are setting' for these hunters
whenever their keen scent leads
them to suspect game" Both
pointers and settlers have been
busy on the trail of game ward
ems and now the Democratic
guns are trained on State Game
and Fish Commissioner, Jesse A
Tolerton, and his official records
and assistants. In this case
State Auditor Gordon acted as
pointer and Frank Farris of the
House and Senator Buford acted
as settlers. Gordon put them on
the scent and they found what
appears to them to be a bunch
of birds worth shooting, but q
hunting party of Senators and
members have not found sc
much as a snow bird where the
settlers set.
Really, this foolish effort of
Legislative body to find something
seriously wrong in the admins
tration of the office of Game anC
Fish Commissioner is but one O

Democrats to discredit appoint

RELIABLE MONUMENTS.
To Those Contemplating the Erection
of Monuments in Memory of Loved
Ones We Invite Inspection
of Our Line.

1t is possible for any person who
intends to beautify his lot in the
cemetery by erecting a monument or
placing a marker, to have it made
of a material that will neither crack
nor fade, so that the inscription can
not be read. The fact that there are
many different grades of granite or
marble coming from the same iden-
tical quarry has filled our cemeteries
with memorials that are anything
but beautiful or lasting. The low
priced dealer is obliged to sell sec
and or third grade material that
shows its cheapness in a few years,
for it is impossible for him to buy
a No. / grade of material for any
less money than the reliable man.
Now is the time to place your order
for monument. The ground is in
condition to make il advisable to
put in the foundation and fix up your
lot. Buy your monument of a re-
liable firm, and be sure that the pro-
portion, carving and finish is of the
finest. The lettering should be we'll
raised and the foundation should be
deep and we'll made. The DEBORAH
Granite Works, corner of Washing
tonand Broadway, guarantees every
monument placed by them. We want
your trade, and we realize that a
tiser.
Yours for honest work and
square deal. Price & Gibbs.

Next Friday.

The opening of the foot ball sea-
son in DEBORAH will take place next
Friday at three o'clock at the fair
grounds, when the fast Cresco team
will line up with the DEBORAH high
school team. The game promises to
be one of the hardest fought games
ever played here. The Cresco eleven
are probably even better and faster
than last years team, which made
an enviable record of going through
the season without a defeat. The
men average in the neighborhood of
132 pounds, considered excellent
high school weight, and have a set
of backs this year, never before
equalled at the institution Coach
McDermot, a former Dubuque college
star, is in charge of the eleven and
has developed both a wonderful Of
Tense and defense. He is being as
sisted by Tiss, former Ames uni
versity player.
The DEBORAH team is a strong one
this year, and will give Cresco a bat
tie royal. All lovers of the game
should turn out and give the boys a
rousing reception. The game will
be called at three O'Clock, and the
admission will be 25 cents.
