IRENE partisanship in voting against

crude special taxes levied last year

SPEAKING OF SLOGANS.

\ The Cedar Rapids Republican
disapproves Cedar Rapids slogan as
Sinking. The Webster City Free
man-Tribune abhors Webster City's
as unfit to. be let out in broad day
light. The Rockwell City Advocate,
however, makes no bones about be
ing proud of Rockwell City's-and
it is rather nifty little conceit at
that: Rockwell City-the Golden
Buckle on the Corn Belt" By the
way, what is the cIeverest municipal
slogan in Iowa?- Sioux City Jour
nal.
There is none that is cleverest.
The whole list of them makes stupid
reading. These made to order city
slogans mean nothing and they Of
ten spell ridicule. Slogans, like nick
names, are not made to order. Some
times they come naturally, and then
they stand for something, but the eff
fort to fit some slogan on every city
in the state is making us all ridic-
ulous. The Cedar Rapids "Suits me-
bombast has always been offensive
to many of us. 1t is not our spirit,
not at all. We would not be a city
with a soul if we felt as that motto
expresses us And take that Cold
en- buckle on the corn belt" idea;
why should a city be a buckle and
boast of it? Is it not enough to be
city, to be Rockwell City or Cedar
Rapids or Sioux City? Clinton calls
itself the bright spot in the midst
of railroad yards and smoke stacks,
and Iowa City bids everybody watch
it increase, and so it goes from one
end of the state to the other.
In our opinion it is all so amateur
ish, more affected than effective, and
to sensible travellers it is bewilder-
ing to find SO many slogans scatter
ed over a state that is otherwise
fairly sensible. Let us call oursel-
yes Cedar Rapids and Sioux City
and Clinton and Des Moines even
and be done with it and proud of it.

when you take into consideration
that the present Democratic COVER

parent that this state is showing a
very strong drift towards Republic
canism. Many of the recent settlers
in Oklahoma have come from the
eastern states and most Of them are
Republicans. The Democrats found
it necessary to redistrict the, state
three years ago in order to keep up
their representation in congress. On
a statewide election under present
Oklahoma becomes a de-
batable state. The Republicans out
there are united and optimistic.
They feel confident of victory. The

curtailment of many of the rural

A group of ."elder Statesmen"
were conversing in the house lobby
recently and one Of them was tel
ling of the drollness and wit of the
late Speaker 2. Thomas B. Reed Of
Maine. To illustrate his point he
told the following story, which he
said was told him on one occasion
by the late David A. DeArmond,
long a well known and able Demo-
cratic representative from the state
Of Missouri. It was as follows:
zone day shortly before Reeds
death he was going up to the CAPT.
toll In a street car and DeArmond
happened. to get In a seat beside
him. The latter began to deprecate
the fact that the minority in Con-
gress, which at that time was the
Democratic party, had no great
leaders in the lower branch of con-.
gress.~ Mr.. DeArmond said that the
greatest safety, to good government
was vigorous. fighting minority.
1T is a matter 81 great regret said
Congressman DeArmond to Mr.. Reed
that the Democratic party at this
time has no great leaders in the
house. Turning to him, Reed
drawled out with that characteristic
Yankee dryness: well, DeArmond

but can't foyget an injury, simply
bury the Ratchet while they leave
the handle out ready for immediate
use.-Dwight L. Moody. 49,.
