Former Sheriff
Indorses Tanlac
Money Couldn't Buy The Good 1t
Did Me-" Says Hon. A.
r. Anderson.

Money could not buy the good
Tanlac has done me, and 1 gladly
recommend it for what it has done

Anderson, of Houston, Texas, Elk
Sheriff OF Harrison county, recently.
Mr.. Anderson is unquestionably,
not only one of the best known, but
one of the most popular men who
ever held public office in the State
of Texas. After serving as Deputy
Sheriff of Harris county for twelve
years, Mr.. Anderson was elected
Chief of Police of the city of Hous-
ton. He had occupied this Office
only a short time when the Sheriff
of Harris County died. Mr.. Ander-
sons friends persuaded him to make
the race for the uneXpired term OF
Sheriff to which he was easily elect
ed. He was honored with re-elect-
ton seven different times and serv-
ed the people in this important office
for fifteen consecutive years. Then
Mr.. Anderson declined reelection
and retired to private life. He cast
his lot among the people Of Houston
and is a large property owner and
foremost citizen of that interesting
and prosperous city.
Il was i'm a rundown condition"
continued Mr.. Anderson, "and had
no appetite at all. 1 could hardly

the Jackson Day dinners at two
Washington hotels, repeated his die

proposed by the United States. Com
pulsor.y it is true, and anything of a
compulsory nature is repugnant in a
way to liberty loving Americans. But
as health measure, compulsory mill
tary training would be the greatest
thing which could be brought to the
youth of the country. The boys could
be taught health producing exercises
in school, it is true, and could be given
a course of training which would be
beneficial from physical standpoint.
But the trouble is there would be no
thing systematic about it. Regular ar
my training for a few months would
straigten stopped shoulders, make &C.
tive, alert boys out of drones, teach
obedience and respect, and give every
boy the rudiments of a military edu-
cation. When You stop to think Of it,
military training for short time is not
so bad for a boy. 1t is when he is COM
PEELED to follow military ideas all his
life that the real harm would come.

GOV. EDWARDS IN EARNEST.

It is quite evident that Gov. Ed
wards is in earnest in his candidacy
for president on wet platform and it
is also evident that he and his friends
have strong hopes of winning out at
the San Francisco convention. 1t is
very likely that the east will be large
" for him, but what will the south do?
The south has for years been strong
for prohibition and the south usually
dominates democratic national conven-
tons when it wants to. II Mr.. Ed
wards gets the nomination on wet
platform, hot campaign will follow
and other issues will be largely lost
sight of. There are many democrats
of the Bryan variety who will not sup
port the ticket with a wet platform,
but there are also many republicans
who like their booze and will vote the
democratic ticket if the prohibition
question is injected into the national
campaign. A mass meeting was recent
~ held in Chicago, strong endorsements
were accorded Mr.. Edwards and a pc
tition has been taken to Springfield en-
tering him as candidate in the Illi-
nois presidential primaries. 1t will be
interesting to take note of the way the
women of Illinois vote.

THE WOMAN VOTER.

Waterloo Courier: More or less

reference to the effect of the entrance
of the woman into the political arena
We have not been wholly without hints
Or specific evidence, based upon previ-
Gus elections in which women have
participated, but these instances were
informing. They represented isolated
cases in which certain elements enter
ed that tended to make that election
abnormal and inconclusive.
Occasionally an expression at the
polls assumes more suggestive as
pect. For example some time ago
in an election at Dubuque, in which
booze was the issue, and it was expect
ed the drys would make gains because
Of the opportunity afforded the
feminine element. to take IL hand, no
progress was made by the drys; the
proportion was maintained: just as
large Il percentage of women voters
went for. booze as men. Then there
are some statistics presented by the
wOmcns organization in Iowa opposed
to woman suffrage. Figures show that

days ago and the figures that came

The proposition was beaten; the men
did it by a vote of 159 to 12s. But the
vote of the ladies' is what we are con
sidering. and believe us, it is worth
considering. Thirty-eight females
voted. The result showed 10 for and
10 against tie bond issue. Jefferson
has three wards. The vote in the first
ward was for and against; second
ward, for and against; third ward,
8 for ard 8 against. Can YOU beat it!

OUR HUGE RAILWAY SYSTEM.

Minneapolis Journal: In any discus
sion of the railway problem, it must be
remembered that Americas rail system
is too huge to be carelessly compared
with the systems of other countries.
/. The United States has a quarter mil
lion miles of railway, while the next
greatest mileage is about 10000 in Rus.
STA. All North and South America.
outside of the United States, have only
about $4,000 miles.
Our railways last year moved moro
than 4.OOOOOO,O0O ton-miles of traffic,
whi.h would be equivalent to every
man, woman Rld child in the country
moving 1000 tons one mile. A man and
team can by a good days work move
two tons twenty miles. At this rate it
would take him 100 days to move his
1000 ton-miles Of traffic. Such move
ment Of freight is difficult to conceive.
So cheaply is this freight moved by
rail that low class freight can often
be carried 1000 miles by rail cheaper
than it can be brought ten miles from
the farm to the station, or carried four
or five miles from the terminal to the
warehouse. The comparatively cheap
rate and the tremendous tOn-mileagc
are due to the size Of the country and
to the great proportion Of freight car
ried on the long blanchard coal NOV
ing westward and lumber eastward, for
example. st
In comparing Europe's rail traffic
with that of America, the fact must
be kept in mind that the mileage there
is comparatively small, the haul short,
the territory through which the roads
run densely populated and practically
every mile contributor to the traffic.

The Texas Republican Counselor
says there was a day when the re-
publican party in Texas was consid-
cred a joke. but declares that day has
gone. Well. it will be back again and
on the day following the next election
the republican party of Texas will as
sumo its old role of a joke. 1t will
not come within 100000 votes Of carry
ing the state. The republican national
committee will waste every dollar and
every effort that it expends in Texas.
The better plan is to let Texas alone
and try TO carry such states as Mis-
souri,. 1t will be remembered that
Roosevelt carried Missouri by a large
majority, but no republican candidate
for president ever came anywhere near
carrying Texas. paraphrasing one of
Delivers observations: Texas will
go republican Wien hell goes Metho-

The republicans in the United States
senate are unquestionably responsible
for the failure to ratify the peace
treaty without alterations, but the
democrats and the president are
responsible for failure to ratify it
with reservations. The senate major
ity and the senate minority and the
president are acting upon their rights,
hut neither side can escape the respon-
sibility that belongs to it. The republic
cans are to blame because the treaty
as it came from the conference has
not been ratified, but the democrats are
to blame because it has not been ratl-
fed with the changes insisted upon by
the senate foreign relations committee
If the senate majority would recet!e
from it's position, endorse the treaty
as it is, it would be ratified in snort
order. Or if the senate minority aid
the president would consent TO the res
eryations there is no question but that
ratification would Immediately follow.

STOCK SELLING IN IOWA.

| Dcs Moines Capital: The industry
of stock-seilng in Iowa has been al
most without limit. Men with gifts
for craftsmanship left other occupations
| to become stock sellers Their number
has been so large that they have held
meetings for discussion of ways and
means of stool, selling. The people
were found to be easy marks. They
yielded up the cash readily. If they
could not pay cash they gave their
notes and the notes were discounted at
the banks. The commissions paid the
stock statesmen nave hcen stupendous.
The business developed many varieties
of ingenuity Stocks were sold at par.
If the sales were easy stocks were
advanced to large premium above
par. In some cases the statesmen con-
tracted for the stock at Il certain price
with an agreement that all above
that amount was to be theirs.
The large and unnatural amounts
made by stock sellers has done great
damage to legitimate industry. 1t
will be hard to make a young man con
tent to work for $40 per week in some
legitimate business after he has put in
a year in stock selling at profit of
81. 900 per month. There were stock
statesmen, plenty Of them, who were
making $1,000 per month. Others made
$4,000 per month, and in some cases
the sums were beyond all reasonable
comprehension.
1t is perfectly legitimate to start Il
new enterprise and sell stock for that
hirpose. Several legitimate corpora
lions were put over in this community
and these were made the basis of the
great stock selling industry that fol-
lowed.
There had to be IN end to these pro-
ceedings. The difficulties experienced
by the Associated Packing company of
Des Moincs will do more than The law
could do or any amount Of newspaper
editorials. The grand jury will be
found to be uneIraled as !: missionary
society. We are told that the regu-
lar. scientific iron-bound, copper-bot-
toned stock sellers, who have made
their homes in Des Moines, have faded
away: have disappeared since the
statr's procedure against the ASSO-
ciated Packing company. Numerous
stock statesmen started i'll to work on a
legitimate basis. Success sharpened
their wits. Wealth numbed their
conscienccs and they reached that
point where they We're not concerned
about anything except to dispose of the
