not make genuine converts to any
cause.
Ames has enjoyed a good sized
building boom the past summer and
this winter. But with opening of
spring a real life sized building
boom will be on, in this mans town.
There will be- more real substantial
improvements in this city the pres
ent year than in the history of the
city.-Ames Times.
Same here in Webster City. This
is the rule all over the state. Keep
the ball rolling and the next cen
sus will tell a different story than
the last one told.
The consensus of opinion at any
gathering, where the matter is dis
cussed, is that the primary system
does not elect as good men to office
as does the old and despised eau
Gus system.-Waterloo Reporter.
That all depends upon the gath
ering. No doubt if the gathering is
composed of such gentlemen as the
editor of the Reporter, Col. Young,
and Hon. Geo. D. Perkins the con-
census of opinion would be as stat
ed by the Reporter, but the people
in general are not going to admit
that few delegates selected by the
old caucus plan can make better
nominations than the rank and file
can.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson says she
will not expend more than $1,000
per year on dresses for herself while
an occupant of the white house. OF
course, $1,000 a year for dresses is
mighty high for the average Ameri-
.
can woman, but some of the snobs
at the national capital expend more
than that for dresses every week and
few of them every day. If Mrs.
Wilson sticks to her resolve it will
make her friends among the COM
mon people. We need more sim
plicity and democracy among the
rich and those in high official posi-
lions. The president-elect is grow
ing in the estimation of the people
and it appears that his wife will
be entitled to share portion of his
popularity.
