Democrats are now claiming that
the war in Europe will reduce the
revenues of the government by at
least $125, 100000 per year. If that
be true, why in the name of common
sense don't the democrats in con-
gress practice a little economy? Why
are they talking of handing over to
Colombia $25, 100000 as a present
and as proof of the perfidy and dis
honor of the American government?
Why do they appropriate in excess
of $1O0,OOO,O00 for ordinary gov
ornamental expenses more than their
republican predecessors appropriate
ed? Why did they fight so determ-
inedly for the pork barrel bill and
resist so fiercely the efforts of Sena-
tors Burton and Kenyon to have the
graft cut out? Why have they Gre
ated hundreds of new Offices with
large salaries attached to give as
plums to democratic politicians? Or
binary sagacity would suggest that
owing to the fact that revenues
have been cut some effort in the d.
rection of economy should be made,
but the democrats take exactly the
opposite view and instead of trying
to conserve public money they
squander it with a lavishness never
before witnessed in the history of
the government, and then call upon
the patriotism of the people to sus-
tain them in a resort tn special
war tax.
Mr.. Kelleher, the democratic NOM
inee for congress from this district,
is reported as saying that if he fails
of election he is sure he will stand
second in the race, as in his opin-
ion Judge Quarton will cut little
figure. This being the situation re-
publicans must choose between the
Hon. Frank P. Woods, the republic
can nominee, and Mr.. Kelleher, the
democratic nominee. Mr.. Kelleher
is accounted one of the strong men
of the district. He is one of the
leading lawyers of northwestern Iowa
and if democracy is to win in this
district he is as satisfactory as any
democrat can be. But the big tenth
is a republican district. 1t believes
in protection. 1t believes in econ
omy. It believes in the redemption
of party pledges. 1t believes in real
civil service reform. 1t believes in
cutting the pork from the pork bar
rel. 1t believes in treating corn
and oats and cattle and hogs and
cotton, and rice and sugar and pea
nuts and potatoes, ETC., with fair
ness and not discriminate against
the one because it is produced in
the south. The big tenth is repub-
lican district and it ought to be rep
resented by republican. Mr.. Woods
is now working for the entire re-
publican ticket and republicans in
this district who want the entire
ticket to succeed ought to support
Mr.. Woods at the polls.

feels that the present judges who
are candidates should be reelected.

Sullivan in Illinois, who never could
have been nominated senator in an
old fashioned convention? Thus do
the people rule.-Mason City Globe

The primary is not infallible. 1t
is simply an improvement. The cleo
ton of senators by direct vote will
not always result in the choice Of
good men. Perfection in politics, as
in other fields of endeavor, is i'm
possible. However, the republicans
of Illinois have nothing to brag
about this year. Sullivan is no
worse than Sherman. It is recalled
that Sherman got his start in poll
tics by the crooked deals he was in
during the great Yerkes street rail-
road legislation in Chicago a num-
Der of years ago. If special privi-
|lege is not satisfied with Sullivan
and Sherman it is very hard to sat

1t is conceded generally that the
state of Iowa derived it's name from
a river; that the river was named
from a tribe of Indians. According
to Schoolcraft, the Indians occupy
ing the territory along the river
were called, "Pa-ho-ches," hence
the river did not derive it's name
from their nomenclature. The most
extravagant linguist could not so
distort it.
The WORD Iowa" is unquestion-
ably corruption of the word
"Kiowa," which. was of common use
by the Sank and Fox tribes more
than two centuries ago, and is to-
day by the remnants of those tribes
still in existence-one in Tama
county and another in Oklahoma.
When Black Hawk, who was a

and occupied the territory which is
now Iowa, the use of the word be-

NOTES OF RUMELY

LAPORTE, Ind, March 5.-Officials
of the M. Rumely company believe it
will be possible to obtain the extension
of the issue of the $1O,000,OoO notes to
March l, 1918.
An official statement was issued to-
day by the M. Rumely company which
has it's main offices here, in which the
belief is expressed that the required
consent will be secured to get the ex-
tension. In case the extension is
granted it will enable the company to
pay it's defaulted interest and to &C.
quire $4,O00.O00 for the operation of all
it's several plants
The company has long been waiting
for this extension, without which it
could not proceed in the manufacture
Of its products. 1t will mean the re-
opening of the Gaar-Scott branch at
Richmond and the putting on of big
number of men, if not the full force
employed before the plant was practi-
cally shut down.
