Editors for Postmasters.

Most of the democratic editors
who attended the Southern Iowa
Editorial Association last week were
open and avowed candidates for
postoffices and other federal posi-
.tions. And why not? Whenever
anything is to be done in politics OF
whom do people think first? Why OF
the newspapers, of course! And
when victory comes, who thinks
first of the Offices? Why, usually
some politician, equally of course!
AZ certain size of politician of every
party always thinks the newspaper
men have enough to do in gaining
the battle and are too exhausted to
enjoy any of the fruits Of victory.
However, this time the democratic
newspapers are unit in the idea
that they are going to help cut the
'pie or they will know the reason
why. Intelligence is becoming more
generally diffused, even among
newspaper men. Knoxville Express.

Ripple Caused by Ledgerwood's Re-
mark.

A ripple of interest, was caused in
the State Agricultural society meet
ing yesterday afternoon, says the
Register and Leader of last Thurs
day, when John Ledgerwood, former
Tenth district member of the board,
moved that c. E. Cameron be elect
ed president of the board for life.
The motion was a pretty left-hand-
ed compliment at the inside political
ring which runs the society's affairs
and was not made by Mr.. Ledger
wood with any idea that it would
call forth attention. Mr.. Cameron
was reelected, as were all the other
members of the board. The even
numbered districts chose members
this year. The following are the
directors re-elected: Second dis
trict, Charles w. Phillips; Fourth
district, E. J. Curtin, Decorah; Sixth
district, t.. C. Legoe, What Cheer;
Eighth district, Frank E. Sheldon,
Mt Ayr; Tenth district, J. P. Null
len, Fonda. ..,.

ATTRACTING SHOPPERS
Attractive Stocks, Well Advertised,
are Bringing Holiday Shoppers
to Leon to do Their Buying.

This is the closing week for DONG
Christmas shopping and the enter
prising merchants of Leon nave
been enjoying phenomenal trade
this year, which surpasses that OF
any previous years. The Leon mer-
chants believe in getting into the
game early and commence their ad-
vertising for the holiday trade the
first week in December. They are
liberal advertisers too, which coupl-
ed with the fact that they carry the
best stocks to be found in any city
in southern Iowa, draws trade IN
this line for many miles around.
Last Saturday evening a prominent
merchant of Leon told us that ne
was surprised that day to notice now
many strange customers he waited
on, fully one half of his customers
being entire strangers to him, and
he has been in business in Leon Tor
many years and is one OF the best
acquainted men in Decatur county.
He attributed the outside trade to
the advertising and the fact that
the merchants of Leon make it a
rule to have on sale the goods ex-
actIy as advertised, which is not al
WAYS the case, some merchants be-
lieving they can advertise goods
which they do not carry in stock to
draw trade, only to disappoint their
customers but it does not pay
them in the long run. In number
of cases where special bargains have
been advertised our merchants have
sold out their entire stock but they
Immediately re-ordered and had the
goods come by express SO that they
could supply their customers. While
the Leon merchants have enjoyed
phenomenal trade their stocks are
still unbroken and many Christmas
shoppers will yet find large and
varied assortment of goods suitable
for Christmas gifts. 1t is expected
that the next six days will witness
a great rush to Leon by holiday
shoppers.

Her Clothing Caught Fire.

Mrs Henry Martindale, who lives
in south Leon, had a very narrow es-
cape from being burned to death
one day last week. While at work
in her kitchen her dress caught fire
from a gasoline stove. She grabbed
rug from the floor and tried to ex-
tinguish the flames, but seeing that
she could not succeed, she wrapped
the rug around her and ran to a
neighbor's house, screaming for
help, and with their assistance the
burning clothes were extinguished.
Practically all of her clothing was
burned, but she escaped with some
very slight burns.

Ralph McGinnis One of the Greatest.

In last Sundays Register and
Leader was a resume of the career
of the State University foot ball
team of Iowa City, and the merits
of the players were discussed. The
writer had the following good words
for Ralph McGinnis, of this city:
Coach Hawley was confronted
with fullback problem the first
part of the season. Kirk was in
jured, so he placed McGinnis, half
back of a year ago, on the vacant
position Here the sturdy Leon boy
developed into whirlwind and not
an opposing team was found that
could stop his mad dashes when a
few yards were needed for Iowa to
retain the ball. with fifteen
pounds more weight McGinnis could
not be stopped by any line in the
world" said well known football
official.

Davis City Wants Waterworks..

Davis City wants a system OF
waterworks and the city council mas
called a special election to be held
on January 2, 1913, for the purpose
of voting on the proposition to is
sue bonds in the sum of $6,5OO for
the purpose of installing a water
works system. The proposition
should carry. Davis City has suffer-
ed severely in the past few years
by heavy losses from fire, and the
business interests and all property
owners are the losers. A good sys-
tenn of waterworks would have say
ed thousands of dollars worth OF
property. Unless the town is to
continue to 60 back they must have
some public improvements, and one
of the best things in this line is a
system of waterworks. The propo-
sition should carry by a rouslng
majority. -.--....

SkILLENS' STATEMENT
ABOUT HIS HOTEL

Regarding his hotel, Chas. Skillens,
proprietor, makes the following state
ment:
My hotel is not a sporting house
and is not run contrary to law. have
been a citizen here for % years and
for the past S years | have tried TO
live as peaceable and straight as any
man. | always tried to make an honest
living and worked hard. With my saw
ings | went into business on Fort
Wayne avenue. During twelve months
there no complaint was made against
me other than l was compelled to
throw drunken white man out of my
place for which l paid a fine for as
sault. For a year | have run a hotel
at 41612 Main street, and never have
the police had opportunity to back up
the patrol and take men and women
from my hotel. Such a thing would
please some of the negroes of Rich
mond and the police, but it has never
occurred. When l approached Attor-
ney Johnson in court Friday was
angry because he had abused my
character and insinuated that my
hotel was notorious. This was I'M
just and it angered me just as it
would a white man who was trying TO
do right" 2-1t

He Obeyed Orders.

Sir Henry Roscoe tells this of the
scientist Faraday and his assistant,
Sergeant Anderson: Anderson was
the sole assistant to Faraday and of
course was utterly uneducated in scien-
t1fc matters, but he could obey orders.
which is not always a characteristic of
an educated man. One day Anderson
was told by Faraday to keep stirring
a pot containing Some chemicals over
a fire until he returned, Faraday being
in the habit of going upstairs to tea in
his rooms and coming down directly
afterward to work In the laboratory
during the evening. For some reason
he was prevented from coming down
again and forgot that he had told An
derson to watch the pot On coming
down the next morning he found An
derson still stirring the pot, having
been at it the whole night and thus
carrying out the order which was Civ
en- him."
