WHAT OTHERS SAY.
A ROTTEN DEAL.

The patrons OF the Leon postottice
are sore. Little do we blame them
for they have been handed one of the
incest packages in the shape of raw
deal that has ever been dealt out.
Mrs. Caroline Young Smith, whose
residence is claimed to be in Des
Moines, received the appointment
last Saturday. DR.. J. w. Reynolds,
the state chairman, endorsed Mrs.
Smith over the vigorous protests OF
the most influential democrats OF De-
catur county bat this seems to have
made no difference as Reynolds said
that che had to do It," But why?
Also Nick Reed, who in reality has
been the head of the state chairman
ship. worked with might and main
for Mrs. Smith and one patron of the
Leon postoffice quotes Nick Reed as
saying to her the day she left Des
Moines, For Gods sake get down
there and eat one meal before your
appointment comes"
Besides being nonresident OF
Leon, it is further claimed that proof
has been found to show that Mrs.
Smith is not democrat and that in
1912 she was a candidate on the re-
publican ticket for county recorder in
Polk county. Despite all of these
facts she received the endorsement OF
our state chairman just the same.
He has pulled off several stunts since
his election which are making him
very unpopular with his democratic
supporters and when he becomes a
candidate for national committeeman
in case Judge Wade is appointed fed
eral Judge, he will find that his sup
pOrters are less numerous.

The democrats of Decatur county
in general and the city Of Leon in
particular, are up in arms against
the appointment of Mrs. Caroline
Young Smith, Des Moines lady, as
postmaster at Leon. The Leon Re
porter, published by Ollie Hull, one
of the squarest democrats in south
ern Iowa, declares in the last issue
of his paper that Mrs. Smith has not
been a resident of Leon since her
marriage about twenty-five years
ago: that she has lived away from
Leon until few months ago; that
she is not a democrat, but republic
can: that her public record shows
that she has always been affiliated
with the republican party and not
with the democratic party. He pro-
duces indisputable proof of his asser-
lions. 1t is the belief of this editor
that Mr.. Hull is correct. While we
have known Mrs. Smith to be a
bright, capable woman, we nave
never suspected her of being demo-
crat in all the years we have been
acquainted with her, and when she
wrote us for an endorsement Tor the
position of postmistress at Leon, we
promptly refused it. believing that
Leon had plenty of deserving resident
democrats to fill the place creditably.
Whoever is responsible for Mrs.
Smiths appointment will have to
answer for it to the democracy OF
Iowa-not to the democracy of Leon
and Decatur county alone. It would
be fortunate thing, indeed, for
Iowa democracy if Mrs. Smiths APP
.pointment should never be confirm

Congressman Kirkpatrick got onto
the Wade-Reed methods in doing
out postmasters in Iowa, and head
ed on the confirmation of Mrs. Caro-
line Young Smith, republican,
whom they recommended for the
post0ffice at Leon. 1t is reported that
Mr. Kirkpatrick has got busy and
may block Wade in laying claim to
the Federal Judgeship in southern

Down at Leon they are having a
scrap over the postoffice. A woman
by the name of Caroline Young
Smith has been appointed over two
worthy democrats. The charge is
made that she is not a resident OF De-
catur county, but a citizen OF Des
Moines. Her confirmation by the
United States senate is being resist
ed. Later it has been discovered that
her name has been lost from the
calendar, although her appointment
was conceded Charlton Leader.

According to an article that ap-
peared in the Leon Reporter last
week the citizens of Decatur county
are up in arms over the action OF
the democratic administration in the
recent appointment of the Leon post
master or rather postmistress. Pub
lie opinion there has been disre-
garded and the local party organiza-
ton is crushed as the result of the
work of the Big Steam Roller.

This is commendable. The newspa-
per is the most influential enter
prise or organization in the average
community of the present day.
Everything is dependent in large part
upon 1t to reach the ear Of the pub
lie and a newspaper that is alive,
progressive, is a mighty factor in the
upbuilding or the retarding Of the
community life. 1t is easy to see
then the importance of having asso-
ciated the greatest thing that man
has to consider: namely his reia-
tion to his God, which is his religion,
and the community newspaper. There
should be no need Of apology for a
newspaper to give large space In the
Interest Of religion, and surely an edl-
tor could not use his pen to better
purpose than that Of setting before
his many readers Of the various faiths
the moral and spiritual ideals that
make for contentment and happi-
ness. 1t is to be expected that the
various denominations will be active

/ hons OF St. Paul who is generally
credited with being the cleverest
fighter in the ring today, and Packey
Mcfarland of Chicago, who was gem
orally credited with all that two or
three years ago. viii come together
at the Brighton Motordrome tonight
The tilt is scheduled to last ten
rounds and there is no reason to
doubt II will be any shorter, barring
lucky punches,
The pugiisuc world has been fed
IN for a month for this bout. Past
records have been delved into, almost
everyone who ever heard of a boxing
glove has speculated on its outcome,
and when it Is all simmered down
this big feature stands out above the
rest-that no one not even McFar'
land or Gibbons themselNes-Rnows
any more about it than anyone else,
And that is nothing!
Jim Jeffries proved to the boxing
world at Reno five years ago that
there is nos"dope' on a fighter who
has been out of the game several
years. Jeff was going better than he
had ever gone in his life, according
to the men who watched him train
he had speed, agility, the punch ev-
erything that had carried him to the
front ranks of boxers. But after he
got in the ring he didn't have any
thing except a memory of what had
been. and mighty sore head.
Mcfarland has been out of the
game over two years. In that time
he hasn't boxed much even in prac-
tice and any dub Of an athletic judge
can testify that it doesn't take man
long to go back when he isn't work
ing; that a paunch is easier to ac-
quire than to remove. Not that
Packey has a paunch, however. at
least externally. He looks, and says
he is, in shape.
There can be but little doubt that
the st. Paul phantom is right. He
has been boxing steadily, working
right along, and boxing critics consid-
er him now at the zenith of a sue
cessful career.
There is plenty of Gibbons dope,
There is none of Mcfarland And
for that reason fight fans have pick
ed the little Minnesota man to win.
Chances of a knockout, either way.
were regarded today as about as
probable as Bryans ascendancy to-
the Whitehouse. 1t takes good man
to put away even a second rater in
ten round affair, particularly il
that second rater has a pair of legs
that conceal the speed in getting
away from a sleep wallop that Nc
Farland's does.
Mcfarland is more or less noted
for the fact that he never acquired
tin ear or any other disfiguring
marks in the ring.

the end Of the horn from the Wis
consln crowd, has been growing for
some time. The Chicagoans claim
that although they take the Chicago
end Of boosting matches and through
their local publicity work send up
delegations TO every fight show, the
Wisconsin managers overlook them
completely when II comes to engaging
preliminary fighters.
There are a lot OF mighty good
boys down on their laoes because
they can't get fights, these days"
said James. There Isn't reason In
the world why they shouldn't get
some Of the prelim pickings. They
help us get rid Of a bunch OF tickets
every time Milwaukee and other Wis.
consin towns pull a battle. All they
get Is a ticket to the show. What
they want and what they ought to
get is a chance TO fight for more
money"
James has behind him all the fight
fans and newspapers Of Chicago and
in calling a meeting Of the local pro-
moters today, declared 1t Will be a

MAY MEET HERE FOR GO
ON SEPT. Fl.

Boxing bouts aplenty are in the
making for PendIeton fans Right
on top Of the announcement of the
go between George Ingle of Seattle
and Jack Carpenter, scheduled for
the oregon theater on the night Of
Sept "a, and of the bout at Athena
next week between Tommy Clark and
Bobby Evans, Promoter Farrell an
nounces that he will probably match
Clark and Al Mosler for a ten round
bout on September 21 and on the
same night will send his younger
brother Joe. against the veteran
Jockey Bennett. At the same time
Farrell states that Clark has readily
promised to give him a return bout in
about month or as soon as he (Far-
rell) has recovered from the injuries
which he sustained in the ring the
other night.
The double card for the night of
September p would be one to draw
house. Clark and Mosler have
botn made many friends here by
their exhibitions with Farrell and the
fans would be glad to see them go
after each other. The fans are also
eager to see the younger Farrell in
action as he has shown plenty of
stuff in the short bouts he has boxed
He is too young yet to send over 20
rounds but in 19 rounds with Bennett
he could learn a great deal from the
veteran bantam.
The return bout between Farrell
and Ciark will undoubtedly draw one
Of the largest houses ever attracted
