 The speakers also made the claim that the Shackleford crowd would control the convention, and that Wickersham would be nominated without difficulty, insinuating, at least, that they had received assur- ances from the other divisions of suf- 1icient support to give them a major ity vote in the convention.

Irritating Taxation.

can business men are frequently re-
minded in the course of days opera
tons that a democratic national ad-
ministratfon is raising revenue by
annoying methods that should be
needless, and would be needless If re-
publicans were in control. Stamp taxes
in time OF peace are an imposition
and it is no surprise that some Of the
most influential democrats in congress
favor their removal. Sticking STAN rs
to large number Of petty documents
takes time that could be much better
employed. If patient must be bled
it is best not to carry on the process
by constant insect bites. Even with
these emergency taxes the democratic
fnancials who are trying to make both
ends meet find that outgo still exceeds
income, and are considering how
much can be raised by further null
tiplication of stamps or other vexa-
tious special impoSts. The whole
proceeding is thoroughly unscientific
and undesirable. But the democratic
party has an assortment of fads and
falacies that influence 1t more than
the dictates of com mon sense.

Mason City Globe-Gazette: The

hear of his sending for some demo-
cratic leader to tell him that Iegisla-

ago he was in no such hurry. He
held congress in session against its
will to put through the measures
which he insisted upon. That con-
gress was amenable. This one isn't.

us to boast of Keokuk's advantages as resi-
dence city; as manufacturing center; to tell OF
its transportation facilities, its beautiful Rand

character of it's citizens.
All these are the natural impulses Of man

associations, for merchants leagues and for
other civic organizations which work together
for the upbuilding of city. Boosting is an as
set that may not directly show in the financial
report from the ledger Of civic accounts, but
there are those who maintain that it is there,
