The Iowa Way

The professor rugged up his first
"corn- gospel train. He and
assistants and trunk of examples
got in, and, being well-billed, as a
press agent would put it, large
crowd of corn growers met the train
at the next station.
Gentlemen, he began. "you
might as we'll sow pebbles as some of
the seed you put in the ground"
That made even the most oss-backe ed
grower sit up and notice. Then Prof.
Holden. by examples, showed the
growers good and bad seeds and how
to get good seeds right at home with
out paying exorbitant prices to seed
companies. Result: Iowa produces
81. 100000 bushels of corn more each
year now than she did ten years ago.
Last spring he got the professor
in-politics" bug under his bnonet,
owing largely to the fact that he has
kissed more babies and knows more
farmers by their first names than a
real politician, but the farmers
weren't hankering on penning their
seed expert in the Governors chair
and voted the other way. Exchange.

of man, couched in few words,
or wants a dart to aim at some devil
he always hastens to the Good Book
for there he can find just what he
wants, told in the fewest words and
in the best way.
am reminded of this by the recent
political situation. We had candi-
date for a third term as president
who was making lots of promises of
what he was going to do if reelected.
But what about the two terms he had
already served?
Well, right there where turn to
the Good Book to get my story.
Turn to jeremiah DC and read the
description of Pharoah, king of Egypt.
Pharoah made lot of promises and
secured lot of allies. But Pharoah
and his allies picked up their NUM-
tions of war and left him, saying in
tones of disgust: "Pharoah, King of
Egypt is but noise; he hath let the
appointed time pass by"

Thanksgiving

President Taft's first notable public
act after the election in which he was
defeated was the issuance of his
Thanksgiving proclamation. Among
the reasons which he gives why the
inhabitants of this fortunate land
should be thankful is that we are
"strong in the steadfast conservation
of the heritage of self-government
bequeathed to us by the wisdom of
our fathers. and firm to transmit that
heritage unimpaired. but rather i'm
proved by good use, to our children,
and our childrens children for all time
to come
The proclamation of President Taft,
which was printed in full in the Wis
consin, is digniiied in concep tion and
language and sincere in tone.
In connection with the subject of
Thanksgiving it is worthy of note
that there was no Thanksgiving pro-
clamation issued by president be-
tween that of Madison in 1916, after
the close of the second war with Eng
land, and that of Lincoln in 1862.
President Lincoln first Tina nksgiving
proclamation was issued early in the
civil war, at time when after a
series of reverses light had begun to
shine on the effort to restore the
union. 1t bore date of the 10th of
April, and named no particular day
for the Thanksgiving This proclma-
ton was as follows:
ut has pleased Almighty God to
vouchsafe signal victories to the land
and naval forces engaged in internal
rebellion and at the same time to
avert from our country the dangers of
foreign Intervention and invasion. 1t
is therefore recommended to the
people of the United States that at
their weekly assemblages in their
accustomed places of worship which
shall occur after notice of this pro-
clamation shall have been received,
they especially acknowledge and rem
der thanks to our Heavenly Father
for these inestimable blessings, that
they then and there implore spiritual
consolation in behalf of all who have
been brought into aflliction by the
causalties and calamties % sedition
and civil war, and that they reverently
invoke the divine guidance for our
national counsels. to the end that
they may speedily result in the re-
storation of peace, harmony and unity
throughout our borders and hnsten the
establishment of fraternal relations
among all the countries of the earth. -
1t was in 1868 that President Lin
coin issued his proclamation recon-
mending the national observance of
Thanksgiving day in November.
Since that time such proclamations
have been issued annually by the sue
cessive incumbents of the presidential
office. and custom has settled upon
the last Thursday in Novem Der as
Thanksgiving d " Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin.

A reader of this paper dropped in
to suggest. that, If the County Com
mttee's accommodation is to influence
or perhaps determine the successful
candidate for the postoffice, those
members of the Committee who are
candidates should resign membership
in the Committee. The suggestion is
worthy consideration. Some four or
five members of the County Committee
are candidates for postmaster at
different places in the county, up to
this time, and others may come out
later. Membership in the recommend
ing party gives candidates an undue
advantage. The County Committee
will be expected to control the
primary election, should one be h,ld.
and, that there may be no sort of sus nj
cion attached 10 the accommodation of
the candidate. il would be best for
the candidates to have as little to do
with the management of the affair as
possible. Moreover. if they do resign
membership in the Committee it
would be well that they should do so
before the Committee passes upon the
primary matter. A petition, already
signed by large number of voters,
is in circulation to be presented to
the County Committee, asking that a
primary be called. and it is said that
every candidate holding membership
OH the Committee is opposed to the
primary. and of course would vote
against it, and Their votes might
perhaps defeat the will of the people.

THE COUNTY COMMITTEES
RECON- ENDATION

The Democratic County Committee
was elected by the Democrats of the
county, in mass meeting assembled,
by popular vote OF the mass meeting.
What for ? What is the business or
Clearly, it seems to us, to have
control of and manage the affairs of
the Democratic party of the county
for the best interests of the party
and the people, to carry out, or ar
range for the carrying out, of the
will and wishes OF the people whom
it represents. If this is a correct
statement of the functions of the
committee. then it follows that
neither the committee as a whole,
nor any member of the committee,
should sign any petition for the APP
pointment of any man, or recommend
the appointment of any man to any
local Office in the county without
first, In some man ncr, ascertaining
the wishes of the people. Further
more, each committeeman recon-
mendation or endor sement, should be
confined to the local candidate or
office in his own precinct or district.
The committeeman of Tazewel should
not NEEDLE with Pocahontas or Ora
ham affairs. Richands and Cedar
Bluff should not dictate for Tazewell
or North Tazewell The member of
the county committee who adopts the
YOU endorse-me and I-endorse you
plan clearly shows by such act that
he is either ignorant of the object of
his appointment on the committee, or
else wilfully disregards his duties.
In regard to the office of postmas-
ter here is pretty clear that the can
didate who has the endorsement of
the county committee will receive the
appointment. There are several
members of this committee who are
candidates. Whom SHOULD the COM
mittee recommend?
First. man who is qualified to fill
the place.
Second. a man whom the patrons.
free from political bias or prejudice,
want.
Third, party loyalty and party
service.
This last qualification usually
weighs heavy in the scales, but by no
SOFT of manner of means, should be
the chief qualification.
What we are trying to get at is
this: The county commi tees purpose
should not be to reward friends or
favorites on the one hand, or to
punish enemies on the other hand.
Let the People Rule, is Democratic.
Any other procedure is not Demo-
cratic, and will bring disaster sooner
or later.

To those concerned Il beg to state
that have withdrawn from the race
for the office of postmaster at North

Kits, who is an aspirant for the
office. AS to whether the Hopkins
brand of Democracy is worthy of
consideration. can be easily disposed
of when the fact is known that we
have all kept the faith all these
years, without hope of reward or fear
of punishment
Mr.. Kits, as you know. was born
in a Democratic cradle, nursed a
Democratic breast and has fought the
battles of Democracy from his youth,
not with hope of compensation, but
with fixed purpose that Democracy
was right and would eventually pre-
vail. If you appreciate the services
of man who has given his time,
much of his limited means, and risked
the sacrifice of friendship of long
standing for the sake of the party
which he thought was right, you will
lend your help to MIR. Kits for the
postoffice. Stand by those have kept
