EDITORIAL NOTES.

Be earnest friends. .* * * Avoid angry discussions. * * * Let every statement be formed in 'fact. * * * Martin T. Krueger and better times. * * * Lafayette is ablaze with Bryan enthusiasm. * * * Free coinage of silver and gold and business revival. •* * * Do not imitate our opponents by resorting to ridicule. * * * Bryan and free silver will bring better prices and a chance to pay the mortgages. * * * It is conceded now by the republican press that Mexico really is prosperous and progressive. * * * One dollar will pay for ten -campaign subscriptions to the Silver Daily. * * * The Bryan club of Lafayette has 1000 voters enrolled, and there are two smaller silver cluds in the city.' , * * * The silver men of Jasper eounty are jubilant over the recent repeated failures of the republicans to get attendance at their meetings. * * * Henry Warrum, candidate for supreme court reporter on the democratic ticket will speak at Remington in the evening of Friday, Oct. 9. * * * It is no matter to boast of that the front windows of the rich are decorated with a McKinley picture, nor is it les*s significant that Bryan’s picture is oftenest seen in the humble home. * * * Those who' ridiculed the idea ■of Mexican prosperity now attribute it to the corn crop not to silver or gold. Probably our prosperity under free silver will be credited to our crops also. * * * Warren county is in the silver revolution that is sweeping the tenth district like a whirlwind. The silver republicans of that county propose’to vote for honest Martin T. Krueger and better times. * * * . The silver man »has his eyes set closely together, with low . retreating forehead which narrows down to a point at the extreme back of the head.—S. P. Thompson, republican candidate for judge. • .

The soldiers’ vote is for Bryan in Nebraska. They are farmers there and they know that free silver will help them, and they don’t beleive it will hurt their comrades who are dependent on their pensions for a livelihood. * * * ’ No bill will sent to anyone who gets this paper. Every subscription is paid in advance and if you did- not do it some friend did. Take, read and hand it to your neighbor, and vote for Bryan and free silver. * * * Rally, rally, rally, why don’t you rally, boys? but it was in conspicuous evidence that in spite of wide advertising and persistent personal solicitation the boys did not rally last Friday to hear the biggest guns the Republicans have to fire, the Hon. James A. Mount and Charles F. Remy. And they are now .saying it was not intended for arally.' * * * It might be well for the farmers, who owe mortgages payable tn gold, to inquire of the lawyers who are now aspiring to judgeships in their districts, there opinion on the constitutionality of such gold clauses. The man who holds that a gold clause is legal and be will sustained in his court should be spotted, no matter if he was running on a silver ticket. x
