THE FOUNDATION OF DEMOCRATIC HOPE

What difference does it make who
is nominated at Chicago?" demands the
Alton Democrat. las the republican
party is now constituted the nominee
will belong TO the old guard, body and
breeches. and the American people will
no longer tolerate bossism of that
kind"
Wherein we have the foundation of a
large democratic hope The basis Of
real expectation to retain power for
four more years lies entirely in . the
hope that republicans will cut each
others threats to the benefit Of their
opponents.
AS the situation stands the Democrat
has expressed it we'll from the demo-
cratic viewpoint. 1t is pretty fairly
conceded that republicans need and
must have the returning votes Of those
who fell away last election II the party
is to elect it's candidate. That those
votes will return to progressive can
didate is also granted as practically
certain. Then the hope arises that the
old guard will refuse to learn by ex-
perience and block the nomination Of
a candidate upon whom reasonable
progressives and reasonable conserva-
tives shall be able to center their votes.
And that is the decimal point in the
calculation not only from the demo-
cratic hope but from the republican
exgency. The character Of the nomi-
| nation at Chicago will decide the
election Of the next president. The
| foundation of democratic hope is that
non progressive shall be chosen.
| The foundation of republican hope is in
the nomination of a candidate truly
progressive.

The oyster il q small, meaty object

Oysters are harvested every fall In
thick clusters and served by the short

in anything else on the table except
the salt, pepper and vinegar. The raw
oyster is served in the same suit 1t
wore on leaving home, but few guests
eat the shell more than once. as 1t Is
difficult to digest with ease. Some
people refuse to eat oysters on the
half shell under any circumstances. for
fear OF splintering a new set Of teeth.

The oyster stew Is an invigorating
beverage which is produced by scalp

TWO IOWA NECESSITIES.

Harvey Ingham, Of the Des Moines
Register, in the course Of his excel
lent speech before the Marshalltown
Club Tuesday evening brought out the
statistics that 81 per cent Of the farms
in Marshall and Grundy counties
are farmed by tenants. The farms
are losing those who Inherit them.
Those who inherit the means to live
for the cities and for favored spots
where they may have the surround
ings, conveniences and necessities they
crave. Thus Mr.. Ingham pointed out
that the Iowan who opposes permanent
roads in Iowa moves to California and
votes to bond Los Angeles county for
100000 for paved roads. They come
off the farms to the cities "to educate
their children" and to find community
centers where they may have social
and educational advantages for them
selves. So the farm suffers and Iowa
suffers. For Iowa's great resource is
the farm. It is foundation Of her pros
perity. And the speaker urged tina:
the solution OF the problem is to make
country life full enough to fill the
needs Of those who having the means to
go do go elsewhere seeking the convent
ences and pleasures and modern neces-
stiles. The two principal requisites
to be immediately supplied are the

tain deep interest In the conditions OF
their birthplace. The visitor back
home" gets the impression Of stale
ness that did not exist there forty
years ago. He finds that Grundy and
Marshall county farms are more de-
sirable and higher priced, that Iowa
towns are livelier and progressive.
The fact is that Iowa Is about fifty
years behind those Illinois sections in
farm degeneration. The pioneers made
their land fortunes and left to their
inheritors enough to live on where
they choose to live" They moved to
the cities and villages, rented the
farms at cash rent and vegetated on
the proceeds. The son went to medi-
cal college oil into the law ana tine
daughter married a merchant or pro-
fessional man and the farm changed
to the mercies of a tenant farmer who
had to get his as he went along and
community was transitory. And SO the
farms, nearer by two freight divisions
to market than are Iowa farms, are
worth much less on the market than
Iowa farms and the farm buildings
are in various stages of disrepair and
trip across country thru northern
Illinois is a disappointment.
1t is a community proposition, main.
~ up to the farms, but one in which
every citizen and property owner OF
the state is vitality interested. The
farm acres and improvement or degen-
Grafton of the farms involve all pros
perity. There is no good reason why
the farm owner who can live where he
pleases should not bring to himself
the things he demands and crave in
stead Of seeking them afar. Most Of
them had rather live at home and in
their own communities if they can live
as we'll there as elsewhere And there
is no reason why the farm communities
of Iowa should not be ideal residence
locations.
The first two steps toward con-
so devoutly to be desired
are as Mr.. Ingham says, the sufficient
school and the sufficient road. Let's

RAILROADS AND PREPAREDNESS.

publicity work among big business
which in time will result in heart to
| heart talks with a whole nation on
the part of great corporations doing
business in many states and largely
dependent upon public confidence and
good will for their prosperity. This
remarkable advertisement is in fact an
editorial on Preparedness" from a
railroad mans standpoint. 1t was puo-
Iished as an advertisement for the
Union Pacific and is here repeated free
of charge, 1t reads:

The Panama canal-will be the greatest

Double track, perfect roadbed. low

equipment on the western roads Will
prove invaluable for the expeditions

This road-built for a military pur-

All of the factors which will make
the Union Pacific efficient in war are
just as useful in times Of peace. Union

with a boulevard of steel.
The ad writer has spoken the truth
as to the Importance of transconti-
mental highways in time of war. Ger
many has taught this lesson to the
world in the present struggle but there
are two divergent angles from which
to draw conclusions. The Manufac-
turer's Record sees in it proof of the
necessity Of being very kind to rail-
roads in the matter of earnings and
capital. but it is far more logical to see
in it conclusive evidence OF the public
character Of railroad property and

roads upon which the interstate COM
merce commission can allow fair prof

Germany the government owns and
operates its railroads and in this coun-
try the public necessity for rail high
ways is fully as great. The public
should strictly regulate the capitaliza =
ton upon which the people are to pay
freight taxes and the public should
have power TO direct at least the mini
mum expenditures for betterment and
expansion. Whatever is Of military
necessity the government may seize,
whether it be a man for a soldier or a
horse for his mount, and railroads
which are military necessities should
be strictly under public control even
unto the profits which private capital
may receive from the public freight
tax.

THE END OF AN EXPERIMENT.
IBurliugtnn CIazettel

The saloons have certainly had a
fair trial in all the years they have
been in existence. The people will
await with interest the outcome Of the
prohibition experiment in this city.
There is no question but the town will
readily adjust itself to the new state
OF affairs. 1t is a safe guess the citi-
zen who is compelled to give up his
saloon will do so more cheerfully than
the reformer will give up the additional
taxes required on account Of closing
the saloon.
