apologize If the records at the county
| seat of Linn failed to give Mr.. Hamil-
| ton as owner OF property leased to a
/ bar conducted by one Stodola. None of
, the denying newspapers came forward
| to claim the offered apology with facts
| from the county records
1t was foolish denial. foolish bluff
put up without anything but assur-
ance and hope TO deceive behind it,
Photographs OF the records taken
as owner OF the lot and the building
where one Stodola runs saloon at 22S
South first street in Cedar Rapids.
Photogra phs of the building complete
the record. 'Hamm's Bar" is in Hamii-
tons building. That is established
over the silly denials of Hamiltons
supporters. Ii IS. however, only fair 70
say that the title OF the bar is not an
abbreviation OF MIR. Hamiton's sur
name but that of Minnesota brewing
company.
Now let us be fair with Mr.. Hanil-
ton He owns the saloon property.
Presuna bly, ne would as soon or sooner
rent it 10 any other business as to rent
1t for saloon purposes If he could get
as high rentals II is fair to assume
that saloons in Cedar Rapids pay
comparatively exorbi,ant rentals as
they 40 elsewhere and Tor the reason
tina, the stigma attaching 10 the saloon
and the dramshop checks the average
citizen who owns property for rent.
The high rent OF a building used for
saloon purposes IS not withou, reason.
The FAC; is that most men nowadays
refuse TO lease their property to liquor
sellers for reasons evident enough in
every 1owa community.
Let's be fair 10 Mr. Hamilton and
acknowledge MS legal right to rent his
property for saloon PURPOSES and TO get
the high rentals. Let's admit that ne
IS pleasant gentleman TO meet. al
wealthy man who doesn't need 70 rent

must be that MIR Hamilton believes

IT seems to be feared that the case

Thorne is allowed to turn the light of

commission.
While tnere is a growing belief in
rlany quarters that the railways ought.

TO be allowed at this time to charge
higher rates. at the same time If the
Gaze of the railways will not stand
up under the opposition of such men
az Mr.. Thofne the railways have no
cause for complaint.
Only by the comparison of the claims
and arguments Of the railways with
the claims and arguments of those
who appear for the shippers, as does

in this way Mill progress of the right

that nonstrous savagry goes on. SO it
will go on until death and starvation

HAMILTON AND THE SALOON.

Knoxville Jourasl.l
Mr.. Hamilton and his friends have
seen tit TO ignore the charge made by
the Iowa Anti Saloon League that Mr..
Hamilton rents building at Cedar
Ra pids for saloon purposes. II must
be assumed then that the statement is
tue and that the democratic candi-
date for governor of Iowa IS virtually
partner in the saloon business. that
ne derives a profit from ii and con :
dones il to the extern Of renting a
building for saloon purposes. 1t is al
legged that Mr.. Hamilton signed the
saloon consent petition at Cedar Rap
ids. These facts are enough TO estab-
iish his sympathy with me saloon bus
mess and by the same token TO dis
qualify him as candidate FOR COVER
nor Of state that is almost wholly
dry and in which the temperance SEN

Thus it is seen that this $4,000 farm
