RURLEsoN AND FREE DELIVERY

Postmaster General Burleson, in
addition to the time he is able to de-
vote to the democratic campaign and
in the discharge of republican post
masters, is giving attention to the
question of placing rural free de-
livery on contract basis.
Some OF the city newspapers have
shown disposition to fall in with the
idea but the sentiment OF the country
as a whole is against it. This propo-
sition has been up before and fully
weighed and considered and was vot-
ed down in the 57th congress.
The postmaster general may have a
desire to inaugurate economy in his
department, but whatever could be
accomplished in this direction would
be at the expense OF the service. 1t
would be cheaper if the service were
abolished altogether but the people
will not stand for it. We distrust ar
administration that seeks to inaugur-
ate economy in those things that eff
feet the whole people rather than in
matters that effect few favored peo-
pie.

GOV. CLARKE THE MAN.

The DesMoines Register and Leader
in yesterdays issue, contained the
statement that the democrats have
practically abandoned all hope of
electing Maurice Connolly for United
states senator and are now central
izing their efforts against Governor
Clarke for reelection.
They fiatter themselves that be-
cause Governor Clarke did not veto
a bill to appropriate money to pur-
chase additional capitol grounds at
Des Moines, which bill was voted for
by democrats and republicans alike,
that, therefore, Nh Clarke must be
defeated.
Great stress is laid upon the fact
| that the tax payers Of the state will
be burdened with taxes on account
OF desire Oh the part OF some OF the
statesmen to lay the foundation for
beautiful capitol grounds at our state
capitol. They forget to tell the Vot
ers that the expense per capita in the
state will be in the neigh borhood OF
O. dollar each.
| Mr.. Clarke has not in any sense

yicitions and is able to defend any
position which he takes. This attack
was made upon him before the pri-
mary was held and the prediction was
made that lie would suffer in the pri
mary, but to the surprise OF those who
assaulted him, he was nominated tri
umphantly and we predict his elec
ton will follow in the same manner

Governor Clarke is that man. He is
proud of his state, proud of its capitol
and proud of the opportunity OF max

candidate on the democratic ticket
living out Of the county We do not
recall hearing any democrat talking
about home pride when J. B. Romans,
of this county, ran for senator in this
district several years ago against l..
r. Boiler. The effort at that time on
the part OF the democratic leaders
was to smother the home pride argu-
ment in order that Mr.. Romans should
not run ahead OF his ticket. In 1906
when p. d. Mcmahon, resident OF
Denison, ran for senator in this dis
trict against Mr.. Whiting who lived in
Monona county, We do not remember
the Bulletin or any other democratic
agency advancing the home pride ar.
gument in favor of Mr.. Mcmahon.
The effort was to suppress this
thought in order to swell the vote for
the democratic candidate in this coun-
ty.
When Mr.. kuehnle ran for senator
from this district four years ago we
do not remember any effort of the
democratic party to swell the vote OF
Mr.. Kuehnle in this county on the
argument of home pride. The lead
ers Of the democratic party. as is
always the case under such circum-
stances, sought to niinify the sugges-
ton of home pride.
The treatmeu; OF p j. klnker, liv-
ing in DeniSOn and Il candidate FOR
state representative against man
living in the eastern part of the
county. is not finding the Bulletin or
any other democratic agency express
ing any solicitude about giving Mr..
Klinker large vote here on the
home pride argument So far as the
evidence goes, it shows that an ef-
fort is being made to minify the i'm
portance of this argument.
We recall when Leslie NJ. Shaw
ran for governor that the democratic
party in this county did not make a
record OF recognizing the home pride
argument in his favor, although Craw-
ford county had never had d govern
or and here was magnificent Oppor-
tunity to honor itself by having
something like a unanimous vote cast
in the county in favor Of the home
candidate for governor.
The truth is that never before or
olHCc NiO lNG OClliOSidlS vi \laN u
county, or any other county in the
state, show such persistent and I'M
firing effort to cruelty candidate as
in this campaign and the most con-
temptible part OF the work that was
done was by the Denison Bulletin
which, in season and out OF season,
vilitied and maligned Mr.. Shaw up I'M
til the very time OF election.
We have given something OF the
record of the democratic party in
Crawford county in its treatment Of
the argument OF home pride il favor
OF republican candidates and we would
like to inquire just what obligation
rests upon the republicans of this
county this year to break their nccks
to see the home pride argument APP
piled to any democratic candidate.
We presume we will be charged with
throwing mud against some candidate
but we mean to have democrats see
themselves as others see them" If
it is throwing mud to hold a mirror in
front OF another in order that he may
study his own features then we'll and

PATHETIC, INDEED.

1t is pathetic TO hear democratic
orators diate upon the cause OF the
revenues falling Off to such an extent
that the administration is forced to
pass o law directly to tax the people
to raise in the neighborhood OF one
hundred millions OF dollars to cover
the shortage. They say to us that
the shortage is caused by the war
and that the tax that was voted was
o war tax. There is no truth in either
statement The shortage was not
caused by the war nor is the tax a
war tax because our nation is at
peace with all the world.
While they are explaining that the
shortage is caused by the war. will
they please answer how it was that
in July, before the war occurred
there was a decrease of nearly five
million dollars in the revenue com
pared with the same month of year
ago? If they claim that the influence
of the war extended back of July, how
will they account for the customs and
revenues in January falling almost six
millions short OF what they We're a
year ago and in February practically
ten millions less than they were III
February 1913? How do they explain
that a shortage Of twenty three mil
lions of dollars occurred in 1914 up
TO August ] compared with the cor
responding period OF 1913?
The democratic party can be com
plimented for its ingenuity. but the
trouble With the party is that it pass
ed a tariff law under which sufficient
revenues can not be raised to pay
the expenses OF the government

LOCAL PRIDE (?)

1t is amusing to hear the plausible
argument made III behalf OF democrat
ic candidates that local pride should
induce the people to vote for them
and, especially. where the candidates
on the republican ticket live in other
localities than Denison.
When candidates are driven to the
necessity of using arguments of this
character it shows they are hard up
to find something to say for them,
selves.
We read in the Bulletin a few days
ago. a statement that there were a
good many people in the county who
would take pride i'll having sena-
tor from this county this year. The
argument of home pride being reas'
on to vote for candidate for office
seems to apply only when democrat
is the beneficiary of such a claim.
We do not recall of hearing this
argument urged by democrats on
other years when republican from
Crawford county was opposed by a

The confirmed pessimist has a dark

Is business good or is it not good?
Does the fact that there have been

Right now there is q great respon-

Just why should there be this talk

The man with little money is hold
ing it against the day that may pos
sibly come when he will need it worse
than he does now or can use it to
better advantage.
The man with plenty Of money is
holding his for practically the same
reasons.
Now is the time for our banks to
show their patriotism. Instead OF
hCardine their money and earning a
from the secretary Of the
treasury, let them put it into circu-
'ation-upon good security, OF course,
but let them say to the people that
there is plenty OF money and that the
talk of depression is entirely fanciful,
and the people will believe them.
II is up to us-all Of us, big and lit

the time will be here, and shortly,
when the man with a growing bust

at the new Germania Opera house
last Friday when it was found that
the soft coal in the bins in the base
ment had become ignited by spontan-
eous combustion. Over forty tons of
coal were stored in tine bins which
are underground and just outside the
main building and smoke was issuing
from the manholes in the alley il
such volume that passersby thought
the entire building was on fire. AS
the fire was confined to the north end
OF the bin, it was necessary TO shovel
