Looking for Good Timber.

The Republican leaders Of
this, (9th) Ninth Congressional
District of Iowa, are on the look
out for a man to fill the place
made vacant by the appoint
ment of Walter l. Smith to the
United States Circuit Court.
Judge Smith had about reach
ed the limit, as a member of
Congress, his majority becom-
ing small and beautifully less,at
each succeeding election, and
in about one more contest, it is
very probable that he would
have been relegated to private
life. But he is now nicely pro-
vided for life, fearing no up.

ing on Progressives or Stand
patters, but assured of a very
liberal salary during life. That
fixes him, and leaves a warm
seat at Washington for some
man to secure a good job.
While the Republicans are
looking for a man to fill the va
carey, it might be a good plan
for the Democracy to also be
looking for a good man to rep
resent the people of the Ninth
District in Congress.
That the people of the coun-
try are certainly seriously in a
thinking mood on the question
of party measures, they have
lived so long on idle promises
that they have about concluded
that 'Ethere ought to be some.

organization in Washington, in
which some of the ablest men
of the old parties have united

of the many corruptions that
have crept in to the party by a
too long lease in power, which

A New Political Move.

1t seems very strange to read
the report Of the vote of the
proceedings of the Iowa Legls-
lature on the election of United
States Senator. The time has
been when the Republican por-
ty could and did elect just who
they pleased, without asking
the consent of anybody, but
now, with many candidates to
select from, no one seems to be
able to secure the requisite mum
Der of votes to elect, and so the
Legislature is in a dead lock, at
q cost to the people of about a
thousand dollars per day to ex-
plot progressive and stand
patism." This state of affairs
demonstrates the necessity for
a change in the manner of the
election of United States Sena-
tor. Change the Constitution
and give the people, at a gener-
al election, the power to elect
the Senator. There is no good
reason for adhearing to the old
Federal manner of e!ecting the
United States Senators. There
is no reason to suppose that the
members Of the State Legisla-
ture are more able to find the
right man for Senator than all
the people combined. If ever
such a necessity existed it has
long since passed, and the peo-
pie, who are supposed to possess
all political power, are the only
ones who should chose their
own lawmakers. If they are
a Flied to elect the State rep
ress, ltives, who elect the Sena-
tors, why may they not be trus-
i also With the election of
u. 5. 8 uasn~? If there is a
: I'D reason +" hy not, we have
failt d to discover it. If we are
to remain a free people, give us
all the rights of self govern
ment, which includes the right
to select our own public officers,
and divorces US from every YES
tige of the Royalty of the old,
decaying, rotten, dynasties of
the old world. eve, the people"
possess all political power, and
the State Legislature of Iowa,
is the servant of the people to
do their will, and we believe a
change in the manner of cleo
ting the United States Sena tors
is the demand of the hour. By
this change a lasting benefit to
the people of the country, with
out regard to party, would re-
suit, and make us intact. a real
Republic in which the people
rule. d. M. IT

The only men of worth to a
town or community are these
who forget their own selfish
ends long enough in their ideas
to encourage every public and
private enterprise, who are
ready with brain and purse to
push every project calculated

nance its Importance. The en-
terprise and push Of a town or

A Hi. I 70 Il, Nero liant

February is considered the
worst month of the year for
business. Eve thing seems
at a stand still III i makes
the merchant W. der j. bust
ness will ever pick up. The
first thought is, ''if can't take
in any money l must reduce
my expenses" and the adver-
tising is the first item to be re-
duced. That gets me out Of
the job of writing an ad., (the
hardest but most profitable
work l do) and look at the saw
ing. Some of the merchants
look at the month of February
in a much different light. In
stead of reducing his space he
increases 1t, "anybody can sell
goods before Xmas or at the
right time of the year" but, cit
takes the man that advertises
to sell goods when business is
dull" A merchant loses more
by leaving his name out of the
paper for one month than he
can gain back in two months.
There are several stores in this
city, but, which ones are doing
the most business? You know.
So do we.

A Suggestion.

Why not take a straw vote
to decide whom the business in
terests will support for Mayor,
in the coming City election.
Missouri Valley is on the boom
and we want a Mayor, as we'll
as a City Council, that is fully
alive to the necessities of tt e
City, as we'll as i man who has
force of character and "back-
bone" to put his ideas into ac-
