SIR THOMAS UPTON
 DOES IT THIS WAY

Last year, a big problem was put up to Sir Thomas Lipton, founder of the great business having the largest sale of tea in the world.
 A aeduction in tea prices was necessary. Should he reduce the quality in keeping with the lowered price? Sir Thomas Lipton's decision was immediate and unchangeable. He would cut the prfoe but the quality, NEVER!
 Gold Label quality was adoptea as standard for Lipton's we'll known Yellow Label Brand, and in addition the price was reduced.
 That'swhy Lipson's Yellow Label Brand of tea is not only the finest tea but also the finest value ia the world today.
 Ask your grocer for Lipton's
 Yellow Label Tea. If he does aot sell #, send us his
 name and address and we will mail you a FREE sample and give you the name of q g-ocer who can supply you.

THE sENAT0RsuIp.

The death of Senator Schaffter Great
cd q vacancy in the senatOrship from
this district that must be filled and
already aspiring candidates are bob
hing up. The people Of Iowa were
never more in need of the right kind
of u legislature and this senatorial dis
trict ought to do what it can to create
a general assembly that will be rcspon-
slye to the interests of the public. Had
there been the right kind of leadership
in the legislature that Skinner public
Utilities bill, which Gov Kendall vetoed
to his everlasting credit, would not
have been passed. The legislature
would have been against it had its in
quitOus provisions been pointed out.
But it was very adrOitly drawn cal
cula ted to deceive the unwary, and its
trainers and SPONSORS succeeded in their
designs, but when they faced the gov
crnOr of the state they met Il very
different proposition. The governor saw
through it and fortunately for the state
had the courage to put the seal of
condemnation upon it.
Then again. with strong leadership
in the general assembly for the people
the legislature would have responded
t" the vote Of the electors for a cOnsti-
tutional convention and it would have
been impossible for few interested
individuals to go to Des MOines and
defeat such a convention.
Moreover, the question of taxation
is burning issue Taxes are becOm-
ing great burden. especially to the
farming classes and the farmers of
this senatorial district ought to be-
right kind Of a man is selected to sue
coed Mr.. Schaffter in the senate. The
Iced of the hour is not only for man
who is right but for one who is strong,
for one who can take the lead. for one
who knows the interests of the people
and cannot be bamboozled by subtcr
fuge and the best laid plans of adroit
and scheming politicians who have spe-
cial interests TO serve
The Freeman-Iournal believes the
situation is such that the people ought
to draft a man to serve them AT TINS
particular time. There is the RICH,
KIND of material right here in Webster
City. We do not know how he feels

about it, but if he will accept the posi-
tion it ought to be given him with
thanks. That man is Hon. d. c. Chase,
whose record as Il legislator needs no
personal choice of the voter or not. the
people need his services as they never
needed them before. DO you think for
a moment that that public utilities bill
would have passed the senate if Chase
bad been there? Or do you imagine
that the public declaration OF the vot-
crs at the polls in favor of constitu-
tional convention would have been
ignored by the general assembly had
leader been present to stir the men,
bers to Il sense Of their duty to the
state?
Mr.. Chasc's health has greatly i'm
proved during the past year and while
lie might not feel like taking on any
irksome work he is so familiar with
legislative procedure and duties that
their performance would entail no
hardship upon him. If there is demand
7or Mr.. Chase ne will hardly refuse.
The Freeman-J Journal is not urging him
for his benefit or for his satisfaction.
but only because of the issues and the
public need of such man III the state
legislature at this particular time.
Geo. Kendall needs a man OF the
Chase character and ability and en-
yerience to assist him in the program
he has mapped out. Everybody knows
where Chase would be on the big qucs-
tions. He is fundamentally right.

ROAD CHANGES.

The farmers of Iowa, who are sore
ly in need of relief from excessive tax
alton, ought to take more than Or
binary interest in the selection of can
didates for the legislature next year.
One thing that needs looking into is the
state highway commission. Such a
commission is perhaps needed, but Its
powers should be restricted. The COM
mission is expending money most reck-
lessly and is ordering many changes in
roads that are Of no benefit and some
others that will improve the roads but
are not worth what theyiwill cost. The
commission ought to be required to
work in conjunction with boards OF.
supervisors and should be shorn of the
power to force certain changes Here in
Webster City and vicinity some altera-
lions are being made in the roads that
should not be made even if there was
no expense attached, but the commits
sion is impervi0us to criticism OF sug-
gestion in very many instances. 1t is
repOrted that the Grant highway
through this city is going to be changed.
Instead Of going west on Second street
past the tile factory, it is to turn on
Des Moines street, going north across
the main tracks and switches of both
the Illinois Central and Northwestern
railroads, turning west on Stockdale
street. crossing the main line of the
Northwestern again and continuing
west on James street. The change, of
course. will cost considerable money
and it will be an absolute disadvantage
to travellers, with added dangers. But
some professor on the highway commits
sion or having lot of Influence with
the commission saw a chance to- make
!, change at the expense of the public,
and an it was was So ordered, if"reports are

and if they do not take enough interest

HOW MANY WANT WORK.

The opinion is growing that there Is
less idleness among men who really
want to work than is generally belicv-
ed Many reports come from different
sections of the country of floaterS re-
fusing to work when jobs are offered
at what would be considered very lib
cral wages few years ago. OF course,
there are many men out of employment
because they cannot get it, but there
are also large numbers of idle men
who do not want to work but who pre-
tend to he in pursuit of jobs. In speak
ing along these lines the Carroll Herald
discourses as follows:
'sAn old subscriber who employs n
number of men on public work cX-
presses the belief that the article re-
garding the unemployed in last week $
issue is apt to be misunderstood and
create a wrong impression. He fears
that the public is likely to get the idea
that these men as rule are willing
TO work and are idle because there Is
no employment to be had. There may
be men in the groups that pass back
and forth who are unable to procure
employment. hut the average. he in
sists, is not seeking work. For in
stance, last Thursday, the day after
the Herald article appeared. be had a
typical appearance. Six men were
thrown into the city Jail because the
officers would not permit them to run

MUST BE A MISTAKE.

Local rates in England are as high
as 20 shillings on the pound, which
means that the tax on property as
sessed at S. would be 81. Taxes are
high enough in Canada, but nothing to
approach the British rate. Naturally
the people don't know what to do about
it. Councils have been changed in re-
cent years, new men have been put in,
labor has had chance, but the rates
have not come down. Instead, they
have kept on going up."-Winnipeg
Free Press.
The Des Moines Register copies this
and makes comment as follows:
eve can appreciate what sort of un-
rest we would have in this country if
our taxes We're as high as 81 on a S.
valuation, and in that way measure
somewhat the unrest of Europe, where
conditions of living are so much harder
and opportunities of earning so much
more limited"
There must be some mistake in the
statement Of the Free Press. At least
there'is something about it that we do
not understand. a British shilling is
about "a cents and 20 of them would be
worth as much as British pound.
Either the English method Of assessing
is far different from ours or the rate
of taxation is msrcpresented. It would
not be possible to tax property worth
a pound twenty shillings, as such tax
would confiscate the property in a
single year. Taxes in England are
much higher than in the United States,
but it is safe to say they are not 20
shillings on the pound. Nor could prop
erty assessed at 50 stand a tax Of 81
unless the assessment is based upon
value far below real values.
