cast their lot in the commercial
wh'rl Of Atlantic some three years
ago. were the subjects Of leng-
thy editorial in Atuantic's repre-
sentative daily, the News-Telegrap phi.
Monday last.
The firm did a fine business in
Extra. but the inducemelta offered
by the growing city OF Atlantio
was in harmony with their pro-
gressive spirit, hence the change.
The Lightning Rod business was
their initial step, which was fol-
lowed by other useful articles of
which Mr.. Stranger was the pat
emtee and which met with al ready
market from the farming commums-
ity generally tor which they were
intended. Their Latest manufao-
ture is galvanized cupola for.
which the demand has become so
great that dt warrants the new
fdam in putting SIX mem to work
for the winter to meet the demand
for them.
The new firm was always a
great advertiser and by that meth
I'd has built large patronage.
At one time they paid a firm
over three thousand dollars for
advertising their business. Their
latest method was to send circular
petters OF their new cupola TO two
thousand dealers. which letter was
sent to the same dealers the sec.
ond. thdrd and fourth time. The
last has brought results and he
ftrm has already manufactured one
and a half cars ot galvanized stock
into the ornamental, useful and
durable cupola, that will hereafter
decorate every new harm IN the
country.

WHO IS AT FAULT
How the Law Of Cause and Effect
Operated This Year in Statp and
Local Politics.

Some say that the democrats, ell
ected practically their entire couin-
ty ticket in Audubon County, LAST
week.
Clearly, this is a mistake. The
democrats didn't do it. Only about
thirty-fiye percent of the votes
cast In Audubon County were dem
pcratic. The electing was done
By some one else. This much is
CERTAIN; and 1t Is also certain that
the republicans are charging the
deed against THE progressives.
The Journal believes that the
charge is only partly warranted
But it ds ready to go on record to-
the effect that the progressives
have been given every incentive
to do exactly what was done.
whether they did 1t or not.
The fact is that there has been
too much coercdon this year. The
republicans have mot said to their
wayering brethren, "You ought"
Il has been, instead, 'You shall
on get out of the parity" This
propaganda started from the office
OF THE governor din Des Moines who
has been saying 1t every day all
summer; and 1t has spread like
q pestilence through all the state.
But there have been other blum
derH nearly as bad. Let it be
remembered that the progreasivea
arg MOT soreheads, and NOT v In
dictdve; but that they have been
charged with being both go often,
that they have grown weary and
impatient.
Let 1t be understood, also, once
tul- all. that they ARE sincere. and
that they DO have honest CON-
virtionH based upon the right as
they are given to see tho right.
Then what is the use OF heapipg
upon them derision and ridicule,
and holding them up as anarchists
and neurotics?
Honest men will not be driven.
President Taft should have known
this, the governor Of Iowa should
have known it; and local repub-
lican leaders, who have been in
actual, personal touch with the vo-
ters themselves, should have
known it best OF all. And df they
did mot, 1t is their OWN funeral,
as the returns show clearly. More
tact. and less violence might help
a little, even from now on. But.
they are still found, 1T seems, abus-
Ing the progressive.
The sad thing is that lit was
I'M unnecessary. The state CON-
vention left it for every voter to
decide according to- his OWN conf
science. Why could 1T not have
BEEN left this way for good and
all? If this had been done, the
situation throughout the state
would certainly be. much different
now. And IL DIT has not been done.
