SHAME FOR OPPONENTS OF PEN.
" SIONS.

In connection with discussion on
the Sherwood pension bill, forcible
suggestion is furnished by a report
from our consul general in Sydney
=, Australia acted in advance of the
home government in the matter OF
allowing old age pensions. The con-
sul's report shows that the end OF
last June saw a total of S2,953 pen
sioners The expenditures Of the
pension department amounted to
nearly $10,OO0,OOv.
The world has learned some valu-
able lessons from Australian meth
DDS. That far-off continent island
has set an excellent example to Older
countries in important matters of
government.
There is new country, with a
new people and a new government,
furnishing millions of money each
year for thousands of it's people SIM
ply because those thousands have
reached old age and are no longer
able to work.
And here, in our republic, bitter
opposition is shown to the PROPOSE
ton to allow service pensions for
men, who not only have attained
many years, but who in the prime of
life served long and faithfully in the
defense of the nations existence!
Such a policy as Australia has
adopted puts to shame every man in
the United States who opposes the
just and patriotic provisions of the
Sherwood bill.-Chicago Journal.

w. v. r. McGinnis, of Leon, has been
mentioned as temporary chairman of
the next democratic state convention.
Mr.. McGinnis has stated he would
accept the position and gives his po-
sition on democratic issues His
statement has the proper ring to it
and he should be selected for the po-
sitiOn. Mr. McGinnis has anyways
been right on democratic policies.
He is man of ability both as a law
yer and an orator. The democracy
of Iowa is and always has been pro-
gressive and this year there should
be no trimming or uncertainty re-
garding their position. The rank
and file of democracy in Iowa will be
fully aroused this year and will not
stand for any compromise or trim
ming with conservatives Mr.. Nc
Ginnis is qualified for the position,
he is entitled to it on account of
previous service and his views are in
harmony with the majority in regard
to democratic policies.-Greenfield

A sheep raiser down in Ohio has
been adding some more cogent argu-
ments to prove that wool should not
be put on the free list. He says that
he had 20 sheep and that it cost
him $500 to feed them during the
year. Then he sold the wool for
$500. And all that happened under
the Payne-Aldrich bill He is not
angry with Payne or Aldrich but d.
reefs his wrath at all those who
want to repeal or revise downward
the wool schedule. If the Payne
Aldrich tariff has produced such
havoc as that, why not demand it's
repeal? According to protection
logic, it would require about 100 per
cent advance in the wool schedule
to make the sheep business in Ohio
pay-that is, if tariffs can make it
pay at all. That would just about
balance the account, not counting
the labor required, and that farmer
would still be out the additional
price he would have to pay for his
WOODEN goods.-St. Joe Observer.

ment of any campaign or otherwise
participate in them. In the event of
a violation of this rule, rural car
rier may be removed from office or
disciplined by the Civil Service Com

Asserting that the Postoffice De-
partment has become huge politi-
cal machine, Representative Norris,
of Nebraska, has introduced bill in
the house to place every employee of
that department with the exception
of the Postmaster General under the
civil service. Mr.. Norris declared
that a republican convention nova
days sounded like a list of second
class postmasters and every state
committee has postoffice employees
for about two-thirds of it's member
ship. The Norris bill will probably
receive favorable consideration at
the hands of the democrats, who are
already contemplating an investiga-
ton Of the postofiice political ma
chine. The bill applies to the first,
second, third, and fourth assistant
postmaster general and would put
these high officials under the civil
service rules. The bill also provides
for the transfer of employees from
one postoffice to another in making
promotions and makes it unlawful
for any employee of the department
to be chairman of any political COM
mittee or to have control or manage
ment of any political campaign.

According to former United States
Senator Piles, of Seattle, WASH, in

In the face of many domestic and
foreign difficulties business fairly
held its own during the past twelve
months, according to Dunns annual
trade review. But the foreign diff
ficulties were negligible; the real
ones were the domestic difficulties.

omic issues were the subject of con-
troversy at home" And who car
ried on the controversy? We con-

that Taft can not get third of the
republican votes anywhere on a pri-

on the contrary, unless the division

BEAR COSTS OF
BETTER STREETS

At the weekly meeting Of the Di-
rectors of the Street and Sewer De-
partment today. the most important
business was the question of abutting
property owners paying for street
paving. A delegation of residents of
Twentieth street, west of Van Buren
street asked that that street be paved.
The department informed the delega-
ton that the street was not on the
list of streets to be paved this year.
The residents inquired what the cost
would be If they raised the amount
necessary for the work. This was
estimated to be about s1.50 per square
yard and the residents will consider
the proposition of paying for IL. Those
present expressed themselves in favor
of law placing the cost of street i'm
provements on abutting property own
ers. The lack of police and lights in
the section were complained of by the
delegation, and the department or.
dered that an additional gas light be
placed in Twentieth street, west o.
