A KNOCK THAT BOOSTS.
(Glidden Graphic.1

The Denison Bulletin predicts that
the saloon interests will give Attorney
General Cosson all the fight he wants
before he is nominated for governor
Editor Caswell has no special friend
ship for Mr.. Cosson but in this an
nouncement gives the attorney gener-
ais gubernatorial aspirations decided
boost The Bulletin states the facts
when 1t insists that the saloon interests
are fighting Cosson hard. That very
fact makes him the most desirable
candidate for governor in the field to-
day. There are plenty Of other good
reasons why Cosson should be lowa's
next governor, but the one mentioned
by the Bulletin is one Of the leading
ones.

ON READING.

several men, Inciuu1NS

that they spend from $50 to $50 year
for newspapers and magazines. One
man stated that he thinks that is too
much and that he will cut down this
expense. Another informs US that he

The fact remains that where you
find books and current literature in
home you find a better home. This IL
an age Of varied and many interests
for every one. No one can get good
idea OF what Is going on by reading
only one publication People are too
broad minded. Years ago some fol-
lowed the narrow mind of so-called
fighting editor who was called fight
er because he called people names.
That day Is gone. The average man
does not want one editors opinion.
He wants to read two sides Of ques-
ton. One no longer can win by call
ing people names. To attact, an edi-
tor must have the absolute facts to
prove his charge. He Is a successful
editor who appeals to reason rather
than to passion.
No one ever heard of any one going
into bankruptcy because OF reading
newspapers and magazines. No one
ever heard Of any one going TO the

literature. No one ever heard OF boy

S. U. I. AND SALOONS.

The state University is rejoicing at
the deliverance OF Iowa City from the
saloon curse. The press service bull
letin sent out by the university con-
tanned a long article on the subject the
week after the closing. The people OF
Iowa can certainly rejoice that the seat
Of the highest institution Of learning
in the state is at least free from the
saloon. but we can not help thinking
that. If the university faculty had de-
voted even the same amount Of energy
to the abolition of the liquor traffic
in Iowa City that they have given TO
other movements for the advancement
of the economic. welfare OF the state.
the saloons would have been gone
many years ago. But. the saloons
were in politics while the other oues-
tons with which the professors con-
cerned themselves were not political.
o. yes. We all rejoice with the univer-
stty III its improved condition, but we
are sorry that the emancipation from
the rum power had to come altogether
from outside Of Iowa City. To be sure
the university belongs to the whole
state and in way the responsibility
for conditions there belongs to all the
people of the state; but 1t is located
in Iowa City. and the saloons were
kept there by the city, not the state.
For this reason we think the university
faculty. being residents OF that city,
might have shown a little more zeal
in bringing about the condition which
they are so quick to boast about after
it has been forced upon them.

NORTHAMPTON. Nov. 81. - The

been sold to the Mount Tom pulp com
pany, whose plant adjoins that of the

of logs suitable for pulp manufacture,

pany:-
In consequence of large sales of both

Valley company should close this wear
with considerable profit and loss sur
plus from earnings, as contrastcd with
a $6O,S54 deficit as of january ! last.
