Lloyd ID. Shoemaker.

Lloyd D. Shoemaker was born
June Is, 1888, at Osceola, Iowa.
Died at his home in Decatur, Iowa,
July IS, 1914, at the age of 26 years
and 1 month. When he was 1S
months old his parents moved to
GAINESVILLE, Mo-, where he grew to
manhood. Three years and half
ago he was employed by the Decatur
State Savings Bank and came here
to live. Here he met and married
Miss Maude Springsteen, Aug. 28th,
1912. They built a little bungalow
and fitted up beautiful coy home
where for short time they lived
together in unmolested happiness
But sickness came with it's suffering
soon to be followed by that second,
gaunt, sable visitor death. The end
came after a long and painful illness.
On account of the condition of his
health he left his work in the bank
the 10th of March and sought treat
ment that might restore his health.
But his condition baffled and defeat
death claimed him.
Lloyd was an honest painstaking
workman giving most faithful and
efficient service to his employers. He
was able to win and keep the conf
dence of the patrons of the institu-
ton for which he worked as we'll as
the people of the entire community.
l1is strict honesty and marked unset
fishness were outstanding character
istics of his life. He was member
of the |. o. O. F. His genial per-
sonality won for him a host of
friends who together with his own
loved folks mourn his loss.
He had not reached the hilltop of
life but was treading honorably,
quietly and successfully along life's
pathway when he was INSTRUCTED in
his journey by some unknown disease
which batfled all medical science who
endeavored to diagnose his case. He
was great sufferer during the last
three months of his sickness but bore
it from day to day with great forti-
tude. He used every effort within
himself to wear out his ailments but
after he found that all efforts were
fruitless he willingly and cheerfully
paid that sad and solemn debt that
we must all contribute. In his last
hours, mistaking death for life cheer
fully remarked that he was better
now.
Eyes that have been curtained with
eternal darkness will never know
again the touch of tears; lips that
have been sealed with the great seal
will never utter another word of
grief. .o
We wish to thank all who so kind
ly assisted us to care for our dear
husband and son in his last illness.

Republican State Platform.

The following is the platform
adopted by the republicans at their
state convention held at Des Moines
last week:
First-We reaffirm our allegiance
to the national progressive platform
of 1912, and to Theodore Roosevelt
and the other leaders in their fight
for social and industrial justice, and
against the party bosses.
Second-We favor the primary for
the nomination of candidates for
public Office but believe that the
present primary law should be
amended so as to simplify it, and
of the people.
of system of rural credits that will
afford farmers better facilities for
borrowing money on their farms on
long time at reasonable rate of in
terest
Fourth-We believe that every
class of property should bear it's fair
portion of the cost of government;
we believe that our present taxation
laws are inequitable, and that prop
erty is taxed on an unequal basis;
that income should be considered in
taxing farms as we'll as railroad prop
critics. We favor the adoption of the
proposed amendment to our consti-
tuition. enabling the legislature to
tax railroads and other statewide
utilities solely for state purposes,
thus dispensing with direct taxes on
otEe" property for state purposes,
thereby making the county the unit
for purposes of taxation and avoiding
the necessity of equalization by the
executive council.
Fifth-we stand for the right of
the workingmen to organize in
unions, and for the rights of unions
to be recognized in dealing with en-
ployers.
Sixth--We favor the establish
ment of a bureau of employment in
the department of labor to the end
that the number of unemployed in
the United States may be lessened
ing employment, and employers
seeking workmen.
Seventh-We congratulate the
country on the practical completion
of the great Panama canal, made
possible ny the wise SLiteSmdnSnlp
and prompt action of the Roosevelt
administration. We denounce the
proposed treaty with the United
States of Colombia as un-American
and an unworthy attempt by the
present administration to discredit
that former administration.
Eighth-We favor the employment
of inmates of state institutions in
manufacturing and producing goods
for state consumption only.
Ninth-We especially endorse the
national platform in respect to it's
provisions relative to equal suffrage.
Tenth-We especially commend
the tariff and trust planks in the ma
tional platform of 1912.
Eleventh-We believe that the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor as a beverage is a social and
economic evil, both state and nation
al. Therefore, believing in the rule
of the people, we favor the submits
sion of an amendment to both our
state and national constitutions pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors for a beverage.
