The Republic of Ireland.

Waterloo Courier:-The republic
of Ireland is dead. 1t died a-borning
There was nothing else to be expect
ed. Any scheme of this sort was
destined to come to quick grief. u
was the work of small party OF
perfectly sincere but misguided men
who thought they had the interests
of their country at heart but who
were in reality it's worst enemies.
The Irish revolution quickly went 10
pieces when organized military for
ces under able leadership got on the
scene. 1t fell not alone for want of
ammunition but for want of support.
The great majority of the Irish peo-
pie are loyal. The blood of Ireland
reddening many a battlefield attests
to that fact. The day is coming, rap
idly coming, when Ireland will be
free. But her freedom will be born
out of universal readjustment that
must necessarily follow the great
war. Ireland has bought her liberty
not on the field of Dublin but on
those of Flanders and Serbia.

Women Post Signs For Suffrage on
Leading Highways.

vote yes, woman suffrage amend
ment, June 5, 1916"
This is the admonition that will
confront thousands of Iowa people
daily on leading automobile high
ways in Iowa. The signs, done on
Japanned tin, yellow on black back
ground, are being placed along the
Lincoln Highway by Miss Lucy E.
Runods and DR.. Carrie Harrison
Dickey, suffrage workers of Des
Moines.
BY automobile the two Des Moines
women are placing $500 of the signs
along the Lincoln Highway, the Ric-
er-to-River road, the White Pole
road, and the Interstate Trail. Other
workers are posting other portions
OF the same routes, so that within a
few days 10000 of the signs will be
in conspicuous places along the route.

did you ever hear any logical
reason why women should not ,ote?"
asks the Estherville Vindicator. "The
arguments now used against equal
suffrage are about on par with those
offered few years ago against wo-
men holding positions of honor and
trust"

whats the matter with the dem

Iowa-the district that was repre-
sented for four years by Jeremiah
Murphy, for eight years by Walter l.
Hayes, for two years by Martin j.
Wade and for four years by Irwin s.
Pepper and Henry Vollmer?" n
quires the Sioux City Journal. "Why
of all the eleven districts in Iowa,
should it be without a democratic
candidate for congress in 1Jl6?"

IT IS RUMORED---THAT

Herman Crist would be an ex-
cellent county Judge.
James Culley would like one
more term as county assessor.
Ben c. Catren will be the next
auditor of the state of Colorado.
H. L. Roberts will take care of
the county funds for another two
years.
Dan j. Hooley would make
good county assessor if he was not
SO extremely modist.
Fred Thero is too busy attend
ing to the people at home to pay
any attention to politics.
Joe Burke is not caring whether
he is elected Justice of the Peace
as there is no peace anyway.
Charlie Crosson is ready to
serve his country as a county
officer if the people call him.
Ben Holley will not undertake
to capture county Office but will
continue to undertake otherwise.
Pete Sweeney will decline the
nomination for sheriff on the demo-
cratic ticket. We wonder why.
Guy Stumm would not refuse
to hold down a seat in the SEN
ate for the next term of the legis-
lature.
Lou Hafer is one of the oest po-
litical fence builders in the county,
and always keeps them in good
repair.
Erwin L. Regennitter is said to
be grooming himself to make the
race for the democratic nomina-
ton for county judge.
David Kennedy would be a
good man to send to the legislature.
He sure would make some of the
old fossils sit up and take notice.
J.. w. B. Smith is too busy at
tending to his law practice to be-
come candidate for any Office or
to in any way devote himself to
the coming campaign.
John Kaminky of Alice could
be induced to make the race for
Clerk and Recorder. John is a
long-legged chap and ought to
make a good run.
P. K. Bue of Empire has thrown
his hat in the political ring ana
will be a candidate for a county
Office but just what one has not
been decided upon by the powers
that be.
Royal r. Graham, who has
served the county as Judge when
the office didn't pay much of any,
thing, is really entitled to the
place now when a salary is at
tached.
Louie Lindall is being groomed
by his friends to enter the race
for sheriff. Well, there are lots
worse fellows than the genial
Louie in this county, and but very
few, if any, better ones.
The demand for Geo. E. Nc
Clelland for congressman seems to
be SO general over the entire dis
trict that the mayor may be in
duced to throw his hat into the
ring. From mayor to congress-
man is quite a step but Watch
George do it.''
