Clinton may coma ratulate herself
upon the prosecutor and the Judge
who brought the suit and rendered the
citizenship that many persons in the
Interior Of the state have failed to
note in the so-called river cities. A
few insistent and vociferous saloonists
and wideopeners have msrepresented
the general citizenship Of those Iowa
cities for the past few years. FroM
the saloon influence out of the way the
river cities will he governed by the
ma1orities Of decency that should have
governed them Esd represented them
before the state.
And the case is an incident in
practical reversal Of conditions in
Clinton and other Iowa river cities"
Those who remember Clinton in the
earlier days when the lumber indus
try sent its hordes of spike booted
vandals down the river and the is
lands between Dubuque and the Ini-
nois shore. between Sabula AVID
Savanna and letween Clinton and
Fulton We're leprous frontier posts OF
shame and murder. and later when
vice crowded its river front and one
of its principal avenues few years
ago will see and understand the
change. Two influences have brought
the river town to its new conditions
and purposes the river towns have
come back from the deadly depres-
sion which followed the death Of the
lumber industry to prosperity buiided
on solid foundations; with that return
came another and different sense c.
The incident is simply
confederation of the truth that Iowa Is
getting together from center TO cir
1t is not out of place to point out
here that the Cosson laws are the
which enables river cities to
raise the levees of decency against
vice. And it may be in order TO sug-
gest that some interior cities which
assume virtuous airs over the river :
towns might take note of the Clinton
incident to advantage.

Voters this year should familiarize
themselves with the names of Joe and
Bill Allen. 1t was limited after the
primary election four years ago that
BIZ Allen was nominated for the POI
sition OF secretary of state because
voters thought they were voting for
Joe. Bill denied the allegation. Both
names will be printed on the ballot
this year-Joe for governor and Bill for

At Spencer a consolidation of the
News and the Herald has been effected
thru purchase Of the News by an out
side man and a consolidation of the
two. Previous to tine new arrange

q town of about $500.
Spencer was over pewspapered.
Three newspapers found shedding NOR.
or less patchy and hard. The patrons
really had no use for SO many Adver-
Users DESTROYS OF doing the right thing
by all the Interests Of the town always
find an over plus of newspapers a real
burden. So when the three newspapers
settled into two no doubt sigh OF re-
lier went up in Spencer and all over
the county. p al
As matter Of public service two
newspap ers are better than three IN
the ordinary town or city. One strong
paper is better tfan two weak ones. 1t
Is simply a question Of efficiency as
in everything else. There is no reason
for employing three hands to do the
work Of two.
There Will be- more consultations
like that at Spencer. Such arrange
ments are the common consequences o:
the greater demands that are made
ugon the new spapers for efficient SER

knowledge Of the business to conducs
a country newspaper successfully in
competition with other good newspa-

country press is rising higher every
year. The days Of semi pauperism ant
the plea that the paper must be sup
ported have passed. The country news-
paper Of the period in Iowa is a busi-
