The sun is the biggest and bright
est body in the universe yet for
all its splendor it is often obscured
by clouds. 1t is only mere man who
signs because he cannot shine all the
time.-Emilart.
Mr.. Bryan has never taken trouble
to say that he is out of politics
Nevertheless the fact has leaked out
somehow.
The Sun has no expectation of as
sisting in the election of Harding.
Sac City Sun.
Well, did the Sun help in nominal
ing Mr.. Harding?
The republican party is not going
to find it easy shedding to defeat
President Wilson and the sooner this
fact is admitted the better it will be
for the party.
Col. Roosevelt finds a bit of So
lace, no doubt, in the fact that the
nomination of Justice Hughes is a
bitter dose for the notorious Will
liam Barnes to swallow.
They will have some politics in
Indiana this year. Both vice presi-
Dental candidates live there and two
United States senator's are to be
elected from that state
The south completely dominates
the democratic party, but the north
is going to dominate the election
next fall. The country believes in
reciprocity in some things.
Realizing that certain hyphenat-
ed Americans will not vote for Will
son under any circumstances the
democratic party proposes to make it
a reproach upon any candidate to
openly get their support.
The drawing of a husband and
wife upon the same jury has been de-
clared illegal by Kansas judge. He
insists that it would be impossible
for jury ever to reach an agree
ment under such circumstances.
Now is good time to drop from
the republican lexicon such words as
..'standpatters," "old guards" pro
gressives," etc. Just republican is
good enough for all who are fighting
in the ranks for Hughes and Fair
banks.
Casper Schenk of Des Moines, pro-
gressive candidate for United States
senator two years ago, is out for
Hughes for president, as is Col
Keltz, Of this city, who was frequent
ly mentio1ed for the senatorship be-
fore Mr.. Schenk finally got into the
field.
Those best informed don't believe
Meredith will care to push the pro-
hibition issue in the campaign, as
Harding's record is clean as total
abstainer from the use of liquor. =
Charles City Press. =
What does the Press mean? Haven't
all the candidates for governor got
clean records in this respect?
It is estimated that there Is
enough waste from the saWm1lls Oh
the south alone to produce twenty
thousand tons of paper day.-Hum-
boldt Independent.
Why wouldn't it be practicable
for the publishers of Iowa to organ
lie and start a paper mill in some
good southern location?

A degenerate by the name of r. L.
Thompson was given five years in
the penitentiary by Judge Mccall at
Nevada last week. The fellow plead
guilty to the charge Of soliciting for
a woman for immoral purposes. The
woman in the case was dismissed.
Here is one instance in which the
double standard" was wrecked.
The Freeman-Tribune will admit,
without reservation or equivocation
that Woodrow Wilson is the best
