Democrat Supports Policy, of Continuing Hoover in Office.

The Jasper County Democrat, which is democrat in name only except when it comes to the support of some local candidate in which the editor feels a personal interest, contains an- endorsement of the candidacy of Sheriff Hoover fpp-county treasurer. The article leads off by saying that some republicans have been trying to jnfliignce votes against Mr. Hoover bn the grounds that he has already had two terms as county sheriff.

The Democrat should not have said Jthat some republicans are saying this, hut that a big lot of honest democrats are saying it and that they are the ones who are offering the chief objection to the idea that Bill Hoover is the only man -in the party popular enough to get the votes. It is not republicans who have so much objection to perpetuating a man in county office, but there were some mighty good democrats, well qualified men, who would have liked the democratic nomination for county treasurer and who do riot think it should have gone to Sheriff Hoover, who was then and is- still serving a second term as sheriff. Felix Erwin, of Fair Oaks, was a candidate, and he had many friends, hut Sheriff! Hoover, whom The Democrat says was not seeking the office, was right out after the nomination and he got it in a warm contest, and it did hot leave a very good taste in the mouths of those .who believe that two terms of county office are all that one man should have. There was another thing occurred at the democratic convention that did not set very well with the democrats or many of them. Npminstions had been called for sheriff. It was well understood that Sheriff Hoover had planned to give this nomination to Joe Davisson, but Remington delegates came over with a candidate of their own and they placed his name before the convention. Chairman Strong waited a reasonable time -and then asked if there were other nominations. There was no reply. Mr. Strong announced, “If there are no other nomination I will have to declare the—” and he had expected to say “nominations closed”, thereby giving the nomination to the Carpenter township man, but Sheriff Hoover, who had already been nominated for treasurer, committed an act that for breach of convention etiquette has anything beaten we ever heard of. .He jumped to his feet and nominated Mr. Davisson and the convention thought that Bill ought to understand all the planned arrangements for the ticket and proceeded to nominate his candidate, setting the Carpenter township man down with a huge bump.

Now, let us see, about this two term business.

There has, we believe, never been a time in thirty years, probably longer, where any man has ever served two terms, long or shoTt, in county office, and then come out for another office. It would have been just as reasonable for (Mr. Hoover to have asked for another term or two as sheriff. It would have been just as proper for A. A. Fell to have asked for another term of the treasurer’s office. The fact is thaf two terras of county' office is all that is contemplated by law and precedent and the shifting from one office to another does not alter the case a bit. ! *

We want to say that Sheriff Hoover is a first-class fellow and that we claim his friendship, but that doe 6 not alter the case at issue a particle. He should not be eletced treasurer for the, special reason that he has or soon will have served two full terms as county sheriff and voters generally do not believe in the idea of running a candidate for office simply because he has demonstrat-

Here’s a Man Who Didn’t Starve to Death in Canada

Simeon Piatt, of Prince Albert Sask., panada, was in Rensselaei Thursday for the first time in 3f years and .is now visiting his son William Piatt, at Fair Oaks. Mr Piatt lived in Indianapolis prioi to ten years ago. He learned that there was a chance for hustlers on the Canadian frontier arid he lolocated some sixty mil® from a rail road and buckled down to hard work. He was then ST'years of age and he had been a Wage earner all of his fife. He had a little money and invested S4OO in eight lots in Saskatoon. The city boomed and Mr. Piatt sold one lot for $2,000 and the other seven for $1,600 each. Of course, that part of his Canadian -experience was more or less luck, but he developed a claim and then bought more land. Now be has two sections and this year he sold off the farm $16,000 worth of grain ana hogs. Mr. Piatt says that what was accomplished in his part of Canaaa at that time may be accomplished now in many parts of Canada. portunity calls for workers from Saskatchewan and Alberta. It is no boy’s job, but calls for pioneers, men who expect tj> inake sacrifices in order to succeed. Mr. Piatt was a poor man at 57, now at 67 he is wealthy and of rugged, robust health. > Isn’t it funny, how you often run across living exampl® to prove the falsity of The Democrat’s charge that Canada is a desert waste?

gloomy and there has been a little mist and indications point to some rain. The day is gloomy and ’apparently October is going to show us that it has not forgotten how to make a face when it wants to.

ed that he is a good campaigner. ‘ As Sheriff (Mr. Hoover has made a fair official. He has drawn the pay and that constitutes a big end of the job. H 6 has devoted most of his time to being the agent for Ford automobiles, and it is probable that he will continue this agency If elected county treasurer, whete a qualified clerk and bookkeeper will find plenty of work from 8 o’clock, in the morning until 5 o’clock in, the evening. If William I. Hoover * is elected treasurer he will farm the office out to some one else, simply enjoying the emoluments of the offiee through ■the indulgence of voters while some other person does the work. We do not believe there is an excuse for supporting Mr. Hoover for this office. It establishes a bad precedent and Mr. Hoover embodies no qualities of special fitness for th clerical position he seeks. There is no parallel in the case of his opponent, Charles V. May, of Carpenter -township. (Mr. May is serving as township trustee, a small office With fi small salary. Promotion's from this office to a county office have been frequent occurrences and are a recognition -of faithful and qualified service, Mr. May has made an trustee. He is a careful business man, has practiced business economy coupled with a desire to give his township a progressive administration and the result Is pleasing to the Carpenter township taxpayers. There Is no parallel with respect to the office of circuit judge. It has always been the practice for judicial officers to be retained in office so long as they deserved the confidence of their constituency and no less a worthy exponent of life tenure for jurists than President Wilson is cited to the voters. Judge Hanley has never been moved by political, social or business associations in his twelve years as judge, and he holds the firm confidence of every man and woman in Newton and Jasper counties. He has jutft the qualities essential in a ju r i»t, a determination to arrive at the true merits of every case and to give to every seeker, at Jhis bar of justice a square deal. The thirtieth judicial circuit having learned this during the past twelve years will not permit the foolish argument of Editor Babcock to dissuade them from supporting Judge Hanley ndw, and there are doubtless hundreds of democrats in Jasper county who do their thinking for themselves and who will support Judge Hanley because the office of judge has not been prostituted to meet political ends, and who wifi vote against Bill Hoover for the good reason that he has had two terms of an office that has a legal light of two terms and who regard hik action in becoming a candidate for another office as nothing short of greed, for not only did he get the nomination for that office for himself but *he picked a candidate to succeed him as sheriff and employed machine politics to get him nominated. > If there is a candidate on any ticket who this year so little deserves election as does William I. Hoover, we have been unable to pick him out. Don’t you think so, voters?

Company Team Match to Take Place at Monticello Saturday.

A number off members of Co. M have been camping on the Monticello rifle range since Thursday and taking the instruction practice in shooting the U. S. rifles under the instruction of Lieutenant Garland and Sergeant Clark, who are two of the best military riflemen in the United States. A Belgian aiming device is used in the instruction. By means of dt the instructor can see a reflection of the front and rear sights of the rifle and also the target and tell when the person aiming is sighting correctly and holding steadily. Some time was used in sighting drills before the soldiers were permitted to shoot the instruction course. Members of the Monticello company are shooting at the same time.

Arrangements were made with the Monticello company for a match of five men on each side to take place Saturday of next week on the Monticello range. The Rensselaer team Will probably be composed of Lieu-

tenant Garland, Sergeant Clark and Sergeant Robinson, the others being chosen from Privates Lyons, Marlin, Norris and Bowsher. The young men have developed remarkably during the practice and it is believed that Co. M can develop a fine team for next year. The course to be fired in the company competition will be the regular army record practice.’ This is»slaw fire at 300, 500 and 600 yards, and rapid fire at 200 arid 300 yards. Sergeant Floyd Tharp, of the Monticello company, is a rifle shot of ability and is instructing the Monticello company this week. He is the son of Oscar Tharp, formerly for many years a r®ident of this county, just west.of town. This riiatch should be worth witnessing and any who eare to see

ft will .be welcome at the range, which is less than a mile from tig; Monticello depot.

NEW FEDERAL TAX; AND WHAT IT MEANS

Reduction of Tariff Responsible For The Revenue Raised Just Passed By Congress. Have you read the new federal tax law? It imposes direct taxes, to be paid to the international revenue collector, of which the following are, exampl®: 1 cent on each telephone m®aage and telegram. 2 cents per SIOO on sale contracts, promissory notes, etc. 5 cents per SIOO on bonds and stocks. 50 cents on each SSOO value of deeds and mortgages. $lO to SIOO on. different kinds of l) US ill 0S& $25 on hank of $25,000 capital, and larger hanks in proportion. $6 to $2,496 on dealers in tobaeeo, cigars and cigarett®. Increase on all beer, win® and liquors. Taxes on nearly everything sold in drug stor® and other articles. WHY THESE NEW TAXES. The revenu® under the new tail® law have fallen short. The deficit has been growing. The only alternative was to impose new taxes, or to restore the old tariff on sugar and other articles put on the free list last year. Your senators and congressmen ehose to impose the new taxes instead of r®toring the old tariff. Unl®s they are re-elected this fall the republicans are likely to repeal this new tax bill, and reenact the old (tariff. You know what the new tariff has done to you farmers, to you and to the country. This new tariff cannot he maintained without collecting these new tax®. If you are satisfied with the tariff and business conditions and in favor of th®e new tax® vote for Senator Shively and the re-election of yoptr congressman. For if Hugh Miller is elected senator and republicans are elected to congress they will vote to change the tariff and repeal th®e taxes.

Baptist Church. Sunday School 9:30 a. an. Morning service 10:5. This is my closing service as pastor of this church. Wedn®day, 7:30 p. m., prayer' meeting. We give you a glad welcome.—R. B. Wright, Pastor.
