 But for all that, his vanity, was recently
 handed a considerable jolt2and at the
 hands of bootblack.
 It so happened that Campbell was
 standing in front of the House office
 building one day, waiting for car when a bootblack, aged about ten, approached
 him and asked to be allowed to get busy with shine. Now Campbell has dry sense of humor which frequently leads him into all sorts of funny situations On
 this particular occasion 1t pleased him to pretend he was deaf and dumb. He made
 motions to the boy accordingly. The boy was not feazed. Promptly he came back with some motions of his own which, while entirely original. showed plainly that he desired to shine Camp bells shoes, and that he would charge 5 cents for the job. Solemnly the two mo- toned back and forth. until finally Camp bell nodded his head, and the boy got busy.
 Another bootblack, tiny and black as charcoal, had eyed the whole procedure from a point a few feet distant, Now he approached, looked on silently for a mo- ment and then spoke. Hes deef an dumb. ain't her' he asked.

VIOLATING CIVIL SERVICE
President Wilson and w. J. Brya

President Wilson and w. J. Bryan
his secretary of state, are taking
chances of violating the civil service
law in their efforts to boost candi
dates on the Democratic ticket.
If the civil service law means any
thing, it means that men high in
authority shall not undertake to use
their authority to dictate who shall
carry the election in the various pre-
cincts OF the country, and, yet, this
is the very thing that Woodrow Viii
son and w. j. Bryan are doing. They
are writing letters to voters in the
state of Iowa and telling them that
they should vote to insure the elec.
ton of Maurice Connolly for United
States senator.
We wonder how long II will take
the American people to find out that
Woodrow Wilson and w. j. Bryan are
not the high moral saints trey would
have US believe but are willing to
get down into the dirt and scratch
for the democratic party.
Think OF w. j. Bryan writing let.
iers to voters in Iowa and telling them
to vote for Maurice Connolly because
he does what Woodrow Wilson tells
what TO do Maurice Connolly, him
self, is going out through the state
and telling his audiences that lie
stands behind the president and then
waits for the audiences to cheer. 1t
would be higher commentator for
him to say that he is governed by his
own intelligence and judgement of at
fairs than to say that he is a follower
of Woodrow Wilson or anybody else.
If Woodrow Wilson is all there is OF
the democratic party it would be
cheaper to increase his salary and let
him manage directly the affairs OF the
country than to have lin do so in
directly as he is now doing.
Everything tends to prove that Wood
row Wilson is the greatest political
boss who ever occupied the chair OF
president and that he is debating
completely and absolutely the policy
OF the democratic party which has
brought the country to the financial
straits where it finds itself.
III the people OF iowa dfe WllliliS W
support n man for United States sen
ator whose only argument is that he
is a follower OF somebody else. then
well and good, but it is our opinion
that this method of electioneering is
no credit either to the president Of the
United States, his secretary OF state
or the candidate who is the BENEFICIARY
of their efforts. 1t was a few days
ago that President Wilson wrote let
ters to the voters of Indiana endors-
ing the democrats candidates for the
United States senate from that state
and it is said the President will ca
tend his endorsements to candidates
from other states until all the states
are covered. II the people OF the
county think this is the dignilied and
manly thing to do and that the salary
of the Office of President is paid in
part for this service, then let the
good work go on until the office OF
president is dragged down to the
mire and filth of politics. We can
not believe the Independent people
OF the United States will look upon
a spectacle of this kind with any de-
gree OF approval.

THE WAR TAX.

The democratic administration is
having oceans OF trouble making up
the items of the war tax to raise mon
ey to cover the shortage OF the gov
Ornment's expenses during a time OF
peace.
What relief it would be to the cOun-
try if it had party in power that
could manage the affairs of the gov
eminent without having to raise tax
es in the manner the democratic
party finds itself compelled to raise
them.
We challenge the democratic party
to find in the history of the
country when the republican party
was in power during Il time Of peace,
that so much trouble developed in
raising the expenses of the govern
ment We can recall when Grover
Cleveland was president that it be-
came necessary to sell bonds to pay
the expenses and that something of
scandal developed because it was
charged that Cleveland as president
favored the Morgan syndicate and al
lowed an enormous profit to come
from the transaction.
And here we are again with the
democratic party in power unable to
raise revenue sufficient to pay the
running expenses of the government.
Would it not be better to have a party
in power possessed of sufficient ad-
ministrative ability to provide laws
which would produce enough income
to pay these expenses?
In last weeks issue of the paper we
mentioned the fact that gasoline was
to be taxed two cents Il gallon. 1t
seems now that such protest went
up from the people of the country that
the plan to tax gasoline has been
abandoned and the automobiles them
selves are to bear the taxes. We
imagine when al 1.-The people in the
country who own automobiles are
heard from that the tax will be shift
ed to something else.
There are a good many farmers in
Crawford county who will object to
having this tax and no one can blame
them unless they are farmers who

CANDIDACY OF GOV. CLARKE.

We sometimes wonder if the voters
lof Iowa appreciate the opportunity
they enjoy this year OF retaining in
office man whose every act since he
entered into public life proves his
worth as man and as a public Of
fetal
We refer to the candidacy of Gov.
ernor Clarke, who is serving his first
term and is on the ticket this fall for
reelection. The governor has demon
strated his ability to discharge the
duties OF the Office TO the credit Of
himself and the people of the state OF
Iowa. 1t is not an infreluent thing
to hear it said that Governor Clarke
las made the best record OF any gov
ernor we have had There may be
those who. on account OF relationships
with prior governors, may take en-
ception to this statement. but there
are more people in Iowa today ready
to make this assertion than have ever
been found to make the same state
ment regarding any other governor.
The commendable thing about Gov
ernOr Clarke's administration is that
he is not playing the game of politics
by attempting to build up a political
organization to boost and maintain
himself in Office at the expense OF the
party or his colleagues. He prefers
father to let his work in the Office
which he fills speak for itself and de.
ponds up his record as governor to
recommend him.
There were some criticisms lodged
against him several months ago and
some ambitious statesmen OF less cal
iber thought an opportunity was af
forded OF winning the nomination ut
the primary held in June last, but
when the people came to express
themselves they decided SO emphati-
cally in favor OF the candidacy of Gov
e,nOr Clarke for denomination that
the other candidates wondered il they
had been in the race.
What Iowa needs is a governor who
will devote himself to the discharge
of the duties Of the office rather than
to laying the foundation for securing
Il higher office. Governor Clarke is
giving US that kind of an administra-
ton and measured by all of the tests
that can properly be applied he is
without any question the best quail
fed and most capable man for the
discharge OF the duties OF the Office in
the state OF Iowa.

PATRIOTIC DEVOTION

The unwilling of the marker on Sat
urday last at or near the spot where
| TT. Purdy is said to have been located
a mile and half northeast of Den
isOn. in what is known as Marshalls
grove, was an event of unusual inter
est for this community, it being the
first and only act on the part of a
representative organization to com
memorate in permanent manner the
heroic sacrifices made and hardships
endured by the early settlers of the
county.
The exercises of placing the marker
were under the auspices OF the Deni-
son chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and to this or
.eanization is given the credit for the
performance of duty which no doubt
will not only resound to their credit
but will be of lasting influence to the
people of the county. While genera
lions may come and go this simple
monument prompted and erected by
the patriotic spirit of Denison women
will remain to testify to the patriot
ism, loyalty and sacrifices of the early
pioneers.
No higher evidence OF patriotic de-
voiion can be found than is shown
by a desire on the part of commu-
nifty to commemorate in a proper
manner the events OF historical inter
est pertaining to the community.
This thought is recognized by all
civilized nations. In visiting the DIFF
ierent localities in the eastern part of
the United States, one observes mon
uments erected to commemorate
great events and, especially. those
pertaining to the Revolutionary war.
Bunker Hill monument is quite as uni
versally known as Boston. itself.
Trafalgar square in London where the
the monument erected to the immor-
tai Nelson is but another illustration
of the thought suggested. All over
London can be found monuments
erected to the memory of the hcOrOes
of that country. The same is true
Of Germany. France. Italy. Austria,
Russia and the other nations OF
Europe.
These monuments erected in Eur
Cpe and in the eastern parts OF the
United states may be on a more pre-
tentious scale than the simple mark
er at TT. Purdy, yet they mean the
same thing and stand for the same
purpose. The sacrifices of the early
settlers of Crawford county We're OF
the same character and the hardships
endured perhaps no less than those
which justify the erection OF mcnu-
ments in other sections of the world
and this generation cannot do too
much to show their appreciation of
what was done by the pioneers of this
county. We owe an everlasting debt
of gratitude to the settlers who so
courageously met all conditions thrust
upon them sixty years ago or more in
this community. Crawford county
would never have been the rich. pop
ulous and wonderful county it is to-
day had it not been for the self sacri-
fcing spirit shown by the early sett-
lers. When we meet the few sur
vivors of that period it is due each
one OF us to take off our hats in hon
or of these distinguished people.
