Is he a loyal Resubican who will scratch his ticket this year? Is A. B. Cummins is not the Republican party, who is? Can you afford to follow those Republicans who are trying to put the Democratic party in power. A. B. Cummins says arrange the tariff so it will not shelter trusts. Every good Republican will vote and urge his neighbor to vote the straight Republican ticket on election day. Governor Cummins favors the election of the United States senators by the popular vote of the people and not by the railroad influence. What can the colored man expect of the Democratic party as long as Tillman and Vardaman are their leaders. Secretary Shaw will speak in this state the last week of the campaign for the whole republican ticket. All of the able men who were supporting Mr. Perkins are on the stump supporting the entitle ticket. They know that the people want Mr. Cummins for governor. The grand jury in Atlanta are investigating the recent riots in that place, and have come to the conclusion that the yellow journals are responsible for the acts of the mob. The extra papers that were distributed among the crowd was filed with such utterances as would incite the mob to commit such a crime on innocent and helpless people; all for a few dollars that they could make by the sale of their papers. Will the grand jury do its sworn duty, and not only those yellow journals but the leaders of that mob/also those who urged on the mob are as guilty as the mob and the good people of Atlanta should see to it that the guilty are punished and that another such disgraceful scene shall not occur on their streets again. Thousands of people all over this country will watch the course of that grand jury and the people of Atlanta. Will they permit such men to continue their course of butchery. They can stop it if they want to. TANNER WINS PRIZE. Henry C. Tanner, son of Bishop Tanner and already renowned as an artist, won the $500.00 prize for the best painting at the 19th annual Exhibition of American paintings at Art Institute in Chicago.

Remember to register; the Board is now open. When a Negro attempts to vote a Democrat ticket let him think of Atlanta, Ga. It is reported that all so called Negro Democrats are coming home. Where is their home? Answer—The Republican party. When Negroes call themselves Democrats they ought to indorse what they do. What do they do? Why, murder, bury and mob Negro men and rape defenseless Negro women, simply because these are black or they are one of Aunt Hager's family.—St. Louis Paladium. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. The Democracy has stripped the Afro-American of all his rights in the South by force and trickery. Do not be overconfident. It takes votes to win an election. See that your friends and neighbors vote the straight Republican ticket. The South would be poor today without the black toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen the black men's rights. "I do not think that the Negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation." Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi. The Democrats of the South say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodations. No republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law. Atlanta, Georgia, the scene of the recent reign of blood, where innocent men and women were murdered by mobs because they were colored, is a Democratic city. Every official is a Democrat, every policeman is a Democrat. Do not forget that when you are asked to vote for a Democratic Congressman. The vice president of the United States, two members of the cabinet of President Roosevelt, the speaker of the House of representatives and several senators and governors from other states have all been in Iowa, or will be in Iowa, urging the voters to give their support to the whole Republican ticket, to vote for the candidates of the Republican party and not for the candidates of the opposition, to sustain in the only way possible the cause of true republicanism by voting to have Iowa give an old time republican majority Not before in many years has there been such general interest throughout the country in the campaign in Iowa. Everywhere Republicans are looking to Iowa to give a good account of herself. Just put down on a piece of paper a list of the available Democratic timber for United States senators from Iowa, and ponder a little while over the prospect of having one or two of them representing Iowa at Washington. A poor way for Iowa to show appreciation of President Roosevelt would be to follow the lead of those who have bitterly opposed his entire rate regulation and trust control program.

Scotch Newspaper Grows Severe in Referring to Disorder at Georgia's Capital. Glasgow, Oct. 20.—Special Cablegram to the Bee.) The Glasgow Herald, perhaps the most influential paper in Scotland, says of the recent southern parts of the United States: The news from Georgia reads like a story of Russian barbarians. If we substitute Atlanta for Odessa and we murdered negroes for tortured Jews we can draw no distinction between the victims and the shame attaching to the misdeeds of an ignorant populace and the inflamed soldiery deepens into infamy when the actors in such outbursts of savagery are men usually described as intelligent, educated and normally humane. One can forgive a Russian bureaucrat, recalling the indignity of the victims of the Kishinev States when the tragedy of Kishinev was related, looking on this picture and on this and exclaiming, "Physician heal thyself"? Or a Cuban jealous of recent events, inviting President Roosevelt to set his own house in order before venturing to dictate the laws of the city to suppose that the ancient fued between north and south regarding the negro is accountable for gross exagregation, it is difficult to conceive of anything more reubultek of American pride in America's civilization and enlightenment than the stories told of the outbursts of the Negro who wield of罪 appear to be that they have black skins and prognathous faws. The above article was sent us by H. K. Hillon of Omaha, Nebr. It is a good article and shows America what other nations think about us. MRS. MINERVA CALLENDER. "Ye Must Be Born Again." O what a grand message to husband and neighbors— (The death of a Christian's an angelic spirit) She bade all her dear one to meet her declaring The bright land of Bulah is not afar distant, And Heaven is reached through the gate of new birth— As we enter earth-life so do we the healer: It is but a step to the Heaven of love; It is but a step: for now I behold it — I greet my dear mother and sister above. "O, yes, ye are near me, dear mother, sweet sister; And onestest the door of the bea- tiful home; It is so delightful—beyond tongue to tell it— O blessed loved ones, rejoicing I come!"

Costs Little to Be Sick In Clapton, a poor quarter of London, fees of twosepent (4 cents) are said to be not unknown. One newspaper remarks: "Of the twosepent fee it might be said that it brings sickness within the reach of all. In Clapton, at any rate, there is no excuse or justification for anyone being More Courtship After Marriage. Some men seem to consider their marriage certificate as a sort of fully paid-up policy of happiness. They act as if the courtship days were those of paying premiums of compliment, cheerfulness, courtney, consideration and chivalry, and that marriage cuts off all these premiums of lower-like attention. The only way to get an absolutely guaranteed insurance on matrimony is to keep paying the premiums. Many first-class matrimonial policies lapse just because of these suspended payments. There is a tendency to assume that this love is known and recognised, so why speak of it? This is a dangerous taking for granted of what should be made real, pulsing and vital in thought, word and deed. There is little danger of overtelling this story; it is often the wine of life and inspiration to one hungering and thirsting for the little tenderness of affection. There are more people on this gret, t, big, rolling earth hunger for sweetness, tenderness, and words of appreciation, genial confidence and generous affection than are starving for bread. With husband and wife these delicate messengers of affection cost so little—sometimes only a thought but it is the thought that is all. Continued courtship after marriage, says the Dellinctor, preserves the lower in the husband and the sweetheart in the wife. But courtship is not solitairy; like a quarrel, it requires two to make it a success. It is not the wife alone who needs the gracious sweetness of concentrated comradeship, for husbands who are built on the right lines have the same hunger for loving kindness and kindly loving. Courtship is a vessel of promise that is often wrecked on the shoals of matrimony. Courtship means two mates without a captain; marriage sometimes becomes two captains without a mate. The Vice of Haste. Every virtue lies between two vices. Such is the location of the virtue of leisure. Especially in this hurrying age and country, haste becomes a habit and then a disease. If one rushes to the next mall with a letter whose reception, whether this week or next, is no matter at all; if he vaguely feels that not to have to hurry for his car is to begin the day but slackly, evidently he is in the grip of a disease. The spendthrift of his time is no worse than the miser of it, who must need have every moment at usury, remarks Arthur Colton, in Reader. If procrastination is a thief who steals from to-morrow for the benefit of to-day, he has his counter who steals from to-day for the benefit of to-morrow. Thievery is thievery, and Poor Richard, with his "Have you somewhat to do to-morrow, do it to-day," was a most immoral counselor. This encroaching future must be kept in its place, and justice and courtesy done to the hour which is our guest Scientific men have at last discovered how to catch the octopus. All you have to do is to "put salt on his tail". A very fine specimen of the octopus, or, as it is more commonly called, the devil fish," has been added to the New York aquarium. As a general thing it has been found impossible to take this creature alive and in health, because as soon as any object touches one of its tentacles, or "feelers", it fastens to the rocks to tenaciously with the other tentacles that some of the limbs may be, and generally are, torn off. Fishermen lately discovered, however, that salt sprinkled upon the gills of the creature acts as an anesthetic, and renders it temporarily powerless. The specimen in the New York aquarium is said to have been captured in this way. Mme Patti, whose approaching retirement is announced, has astonished the world almost as much by her wonderful vitality as by her vocal powers. "I will be young as long as I live," she is said to have declared as a child, and she has fulfilled the promise. Perhaps it is because of her unconquerable optimism. "If there is the tiniest speck of blue in the sky," she says, "and there nearly always is, I look for it, and that makes the whole heaven blue for me." Moreover, she knows the virtues of the open air. "I spend three hours daily in the open air, walking or driving in an open carriage; and I accustom myself to bear the extremes of summer and winter." Chicago food inspectors have discovered a "food hospital," the business of which has been the reckoning or "treatment" of food bought very cheap because the swelling of the cans which contained it showed that it was spilled. The "patients" at this hospital—some thousands of swelled cans—were promptly placed on the dangerous list. The old-fashioned, bloody kind of football is to be played at Yale this year. Yale may be cunningly scheming to have a big enrollment. When the German emperor appointed a Jewish banker as director of the colonial office the other day, much surprise was expressed in Berlin that a business man and a Jew had been called to so high an office. Such an appointment would have canned surprise neither in the United States nor in England. Now that the football season is opening the West Point cadets have no excuse to mourn because the team of hating it has been taken away from them. 1. FAVORS GRAIN AGENT ROAD PERMITS HIM TO AID IN MAKING RATES. Buys Wheat in Large Quantities When Freight is Reduced and Sells Corn on Information That Export Tariff is to Be Cut. Kansas City, Mo—Evidence of favortism shown to the manager of the Kansas City elevators of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway in the matter of granting reduced grain rates to shipers; the existence of a rule in the Kansas City board of trade threatening its members with suspension if they dealt with irregular grain men, so-called, a combine of members of that organization to fix prices, and threats by grain dealers' associations to boycott board of trade members who might buy from farmers and others against whom the assessee had ordered orders were of the things brought out here Tuesday at the grain hearing begun Monday by the interstate commerce commission. A score of grain dealers, elevator men and railway officials were examined. Commissioners Lane and Clarke will continue the hearing in Omaha. E. W. Shields, elevator agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, and active manager of the Simonds-Shields Grain company, of Kansas City, who was instructed by the commissioners Monday to return here from St. Louis proved an important witness. Mr. Shields said he was in Chicago last fall when he was called upon to advise about a special export rate on corn. He helped make a rate, effective several days later, then came home and bought corn right and left. He shipped 3,500,000 bushels of corn under the special rate. He had bought more than a million bushels before other dealers learned that the reduced rate would be made. Again this summer, he said, he happened to be waiting around the office of the vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway on the railways agreed on a cut of 2½ cents a hundred pounds on wheat. He went out and sold several hundred thousand bushels for delivery under the rate. BANK ROBBERS ARE CAUGHT Sheriff's Posse Arrests Bandits Who Looted North Dakota Bank. Minot, N. D. —After a chase lasting 36 hours, the hires's posse succeeded Tuesday evening in capturing the five bandits who robbed the Sawyer, N. D., bank early Monday morning when a battle ensued with citizens during which 300 shots were fired, the robbers getting away with $4,600. The men were discovered on a farm near here. Escape was attempted and in a fight which followed one robber was severely wounded in the leg. Another member of the party ran into a slough with $900 in gold and bills and dropped the money into the water. Money was also scattered on the platter by the bandits. Chief of Police Hagen secured $3,000 of the money. Four of the captured men are young and well-dressed, none being over 25 years old. The leader is a hardened looking criminal, somewhat older. The money was being carried in bags and was composed of gold and bills, all the heavy silver having been thrown away. WISCONSIN TAXES REMITTED State Treasury, Full to Overflowing, Does Not Need Cash. Madison, Wis. — All the state taxes, with the exception of the school tax, which was reduced to half of one mill, were remitted Monday by the state board of assessors. There already is so much money in the state treasury that none of the officials are needed to work with it. With prospect of more than $2,500,000 coming in from this year's taxes, State Treasurer Kemp threw up his hands in despair and said there was no way to spend it. Accordingly, Gov. David, Secretary of State Houser and Mr. Kemp met and decided to remit the taxes. Anna, Ill.—Residents of this town and of a wide surrounding stretch of country are in a state of keen alarm and anxiety over a severe earthquake shock which was felt throughout this region.

IGNITION OF GAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIRED BLAST. Accident in the Rolling Mill Mine of the Cambria Steel Company at Johnstown, Pa. Johnstown, Pa.-By an explosion in the mine of the Cambria Steel company on Wednesday seven men are reported to be dead and two painfully but not fatally burned. The explosion is thought to have been caused by the ignition of gas in setting off a blast. Most of the victims are foreigners. The explosion occurred in a heading three miles from the mouth of the mine shaft. Eighteen men are reported imprisoned in the heading, but no mention is made of this in an official statement given to the press by the manager of the Cambria Steel company. The statement says: "By an explosion in the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel company Wednesday evening seven men are dead and two are painfully but not fatally injured. Up to the present only one of the dead has been identified. He is an American born miner named Sampson Luther. It is believed the other dead are all foreigners, the third are American.

"The explosion took place in heading No. 29, a considerable distance from the ill-fated Klondike section, where 114 men lost their lives over four years ago. The exact cause is not known, but it is supposed that the gas was fired by the putting off of a firearm by the men, then fired had their safety lamps in proper trim, showing that the accident could not have been caused by neglect in that direction. No damage whatever was done to the workings, and the mine will run as usual. CUBAN INSANE ARE MISTREATED Nearly 1,700 Persons Crowded Intro Buildings Intended for 400. Havana. — Gov.

When Prices of Products Go Up They Tend to Make Agriculturists Stick Together. East. St. Louis, Ill. — The feature of the day's session of the first annual convention of the American Society of Equity, which is composed of farmers, was the address of M. F. Sharp, of Narrows, Ky. He strongly urged the farmers to perfect an organization. "The trusts and combines, which are the agencies of the internal regions, call us lays, have moss backs, and say that even if we do organize we won't stick," he said. "I tell you that when organization raises the price of products it is the best sticking plaster in' the world. I know the farmers will stick. Equity means a fair deal. All manufacturing industries fix the price of their products and know what price they are going to get from the market because of the nation and the world's greatest producer, has been going on the theory that he will take whatever he can get for his products. Equity intends that the farmer shall take his place with the world's producers and fix a profitable price for his products. That can only be done by a plan of marketing products to control and regulate the market process." Wednesday's session was devoted principally to addresses along the line of forming an agriculturists' organization to fix and maintain prices on farm products.

Terry, of Little Sioux, Declares that Farmers and Shoyelers Are the Victims. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 26.—The hearing an grain trading conditions before Interstate Commerce Commissioners Clark and Lane was resumed yesterday. E Peck, an Omaha grain dealer, told of the methods of arranging prices a year or two ago during the life of the Nebraska Grain Dealer's association, but said that no agreement of that kind now exists. He says he regarded "abovel houses" as unfair competition, and used all means to drive them out of the Central Grain Company, Lincoln, Neb., said his company operated elevators on the Burlington line. They received from that road an allowance of 1.1-2c a hundred pounds to cover elevation charges until last summer. He noted no of "abovel houses," in his territory. F. M. Terry, a general merchant of Little Sioux, Iowa, who operates a shovel house," said he was formerly discriminated against by the Northwestern University he has no reason for complaint. The Missouri Valley mills at Missouri Valley, Iowa, he said refuse to buy his grain, giving as a reason that the Updike grain company, the Updike grain it did, and would bld up the price so that they could not buy from farmer. Millers at Marshalltown, Iowa, also refused to buy his grain, he said, because he had no欲. He said he would bld up the Iowa Grain Dealers association. Mr. Terry said he received a letter from President Wells of the Iowa Grain Dealers' association, some time ago, from which he earned a paycheck for耕 for grain and provides for pooling by its members. D. J. Gates of Albion, Neb., an employee of the Albion Elevator company, a farmer's organization, said that his company in the three years it had been operating, had caused an increase of 10 percent in business and still does business at a profit. The penalty clause has been abolished from the company's bylaws. At first he had much trouble in selling grain. Letters were from grain letters in Denver, Colo., Colorado and points to show that the Nebraska Grain Dealers' association then in existence tried to prevent their buying from his company. Letters were also introduced to show that the Nebraska Lumber Dealers' association objected to his company mandate. He was also introduced to the Pacific Coal company refusing to quote wholesale prices on coal. Latterly, he had had no trouble in the grain business. His company ships by the Union Pacific company. At first it was refused an elevator site and was made by a Union company blackmailing, business-destroying concerns. E. E. Huntley, now a grain dealer of Omaha, but formerly of Salix, Ia., has been a dealer there, the dealers in Salix had a price agreement and a grain pool, each dealer paying one cent a bushel into the pool for all grain bought over his S. M. McMurray, a "scoop shoveler" at Wood River and Shelton, Neb., said was formerly manager of the Omaha Elevator company's elevator at Wood River. The company also owns the three there under the name of the Conrad Grain company. The two elevators were supposed to be competitors. He had trouble with the manager of the other elevator and resigned and startled. The elevator wheat was raised 5 cents and of oats 2 cents a bushel at once. He had been unable to get a site for an elevator from the Union Pacific company, the officials giving a reason that the elevator had "nuts" their hands." Mr. McMurray said that withstanding the antipathy against "scoop shovellers," it was a fact that most of the big elevators began that way. When the commission adduced a large number of witnesses from various parts of the state were present to testify. The commissioners will begin a hearing at Des Moines, Ia., today. Washington, D. C., Oct. 26. -Visi-count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, in an interview with Secretary Root at the state department yesterday made the request, in behalf of his government, that the United States see that the Japanese subjects in California were granted their full rights under the treaty of 1894, including the right of children to receive public schools of the San Francisco. Secretary Root will take the matter up with the president and it is likely that representations will be made to the authorities of California. The ambassador said that the exclusion of Japanese children from the California schools was the chief cause for the creation of the United States. He was inclined to discount the other causes given for the sentiment against this country. "The friendship between the United States and Japan is too genuine and of too long standing to justify any formal protest on the part of Japan because of wrongs her citizenship in the United States" said Viscount Aoki. "There is much misunderstanding in Japan concerning the true situation. Of course the Japanese government fully realizes that the action against the Japanese children is local and not general in this country, but all the Japanese do country and a local unfriendiness to Japan is regarded by many persons as a national action."

So perfectly is this elephant broken that he works by cues imperceptible to the audience. The trainer merely raises his shoulders and the young bull strides toward the telephone box, turn the crank, ringing the bell, pick up the receiver in his long trunk and hold it to his great, flap ear. Then he hangs it up with the sudden of disgust, ringing the bell, second of disgust, holding the receiver to his car, while he listens with the sage, bland expression which only an elephant can assume. When finished, he hangs up the receiver and "rings off." For something like two minutes this performance lasts. Yet it required a month of steady, hard work to break the elephant into this simple, ludicrous trick. More than 1,000 times, actual count, Barlow had grasp Tom's trunk, apply to the bell cran and the circus bell, tighten the bell, by leading the trunk just as you might lead the hand of a young child when teaching it to wind a music box. More than 1,000 times the trainer had to lead the tip of the big receiver of the telephone to teach the beast to hold it in his ear and hang it accurately on its hook. And when these details were mastered, it took more than 500 trials to teach the succession of winding the cran and listening before the crank and knew enough to twist the crank without breaking it into halves at every contact—Apelon's Magazine.

I was greatly troubled; understood it was eczema. Tried various remedies so called, without effect. Saw your Curticaura advertisement, and got the Curticaura Remedies at once. Applied them as to directions, etc., and after two weeks I think, of use, was clear as a whistle. Have to ask for a prescription. Octor and November, 1904. I was suddenly affected with a bad eruption, painful and itching pustules over the lower part of the body. I suffered dreadfully. In two months, under the skillful treatment of my doctor, conjoined with Curticaura Soap and Curticaura Oatment, I found myself cured. H. M. F. Weiss, Rosemond, Christian Co, III, Aug. 31, 1908." A few years ago there was started in Chelsea, Mass., a semi-secret political organization, and after a few meetings it was decided that a ballot box and ballots were needed. A brother made a motion that a committee be appointed by the chair to procure the same. A brother who was always suggesting amendments moved an amendment that the committee instructed to produce a white ball and black balls. Another asked him to describe a square ball, which brought the house down and caused the mover of the amendment to ejaculate: "You think you are *d* - d smart, don't you!"

A., 135 Adams St., Chicago, CA Worry Postal Authorities Because the postal administration has imposed a duty of five penniuns instead of two on postal cards intended for urban delivery, the citizens of Hanover have inaugurated a singular strike against the postal authorities. Instead of writing postal cards, they all write letters, and, not satisfied with sending their effusions in an envelope, they fill it up with newspaper as to bring the weight of the letter to the maximum of 250 grams. As the envelopes they now use are of the maximum size tolerated it is easy to obstruct a letter box with only a dozen of such misives. The postal authorities are alarmed at this obstruction of the postal service, and it is probable that the former tariff of two penniuns on postal cards will have to be reestablished. HAD CONSIDERED THE POINT. Juryman's Explanation Somewhat of a Joke on judge. A lawyer in the western part of Massachusetts having a rather desperate case to defend, called the court's attention to the wording of the statute, empowering the jury to "judge of the law as well as of the facts," and requested him to instruct accordingly. The judge some reason reluctantly did so, adding however, that the jury must accept his interjection of the principles involved unless they were fully satisfied that they knew more law than he did. In spite of this, an outrageous verdict was brought in, utterly contrary to the instructions of the judge, who severely rebuked the jurors. The foreman, a horny-handed farmer, rose to reply. "Judge," said he, "weren't we to judge the law as well as the fact." "Judge" was the response, "but I told you not to judge the law unless you were satisfied that you knew the law better than I did." "Well, judge," answered the farmer, as he shifted his quid, "we considered that pik't." THEY CURE ANEMIA Dr. William's Fink Pills the Most Successful Remedy for All Forms of Debility. Anemia, whether it results from actual loss of blood, from lack of nutrition due to stomach trouble, or whatever its cause, is simply a deficiency of the vital fluid. Dr. Williams' Fink Pills actually make new blood. They do that one thing and they do it well. A girl says Ms. Mink, Fink of 180, Earl of Ixon, Ikon, Ohio, "he has suffered from nervous indigestion and when I was eighteen years old I was reduced in weight to 98 pounds. I was anemic, nervous, couldn't eat or eat, was short of breath after the least exertion and had headaches almost constantly, might as well have taken so much water for all the good his medicine did me. Finally my vitality and strength were so reduced that I had to take to my bed for several weeks at a time. I could not digest any other nourishment than a cup of tea or beef broth. "While I was sick in bed I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I stopped all other medicine and began to take the pills. Soon my improvement was very noticeable. My strength began to return, and I was soon as I began to take solid food I gained in weight. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills certainly saved my life. I am now perfectly well, have regained my normal weight of 130 pounds and I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a wonderful medicine. The celebrated pills are recommended for stubborn stomach trouble, for all cases of weakness and debility, such as results from fever and other acute diseases. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they be seen at the pharmacy for $50 per盒 per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectad, N. Y. $25,000.00 FOR AGENTS.

An amusing story of the late Mrs. Craigie, the noted novelist, was told the other day at the Author's club in New York. "When Mrs. Craigie was in America last year," said the editor, "she was invited to make an address at a certain meeting. She accepted the invitation, but her name, through some provisional down on the chairman, and worse than that, the chairman, a rather stupid person, introduced before her some speakers who were not on the programme at all. "In short, it was close on to 11 o'clock when the chairman, with a pleasant smile, bowed and said: "Mrs. Craigie, the eminent author of "Some Emotions and a Moral," will now give us her address." "My Craigie, and calmly, 'My address is No. 56 Lancaster Gate, Gate Park, W, London, and I now wish you all good-night, for I am far from home.'"

When a physician tells a woman, suffering from female trouble, that an operation is necessary it, of course, frenzies her. She thought of the operating table and the stilettos terror to her heart. As one woman expressed it, when told by her physician that she must undergo an operation, she felt overwhelmed. Our hospitals, are full of women who are there for just such operations. It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is much rarer than is generally cases are much rarer than is generally cases because a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Finkham's vegetable Compound after the doctors removed the knife formed. In fact up to the point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. The strongest and most grateful women who need to make come home women who need to make come home Pham's vegetable Compound, have escaped serious operations. Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St Andrew's Society, Indianapolis, Ind., writes of her cure as follows: "I cannot find words to express my thanks for the good Lydia E. Pinknin's Vegetable not get well unless I had an operation for the trouble from which I suffered. I knew I had to make up my mind I would be an invalid for life. Hearing how Lydia E. Pinknin's Vegetable Compound had saved other women from death, and she had four times the amount I was entirely curied; and words fail to express my thankfulness. Miss Maygrant Mowley, of 875 82nd Street Milwaukee, WI, writes: "Dear Mrs. Finkham—" "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, weakness, cramping, cramping-down pains, and an irritable disposition compelled me to seek assistance in an examination, said that I had a serious female trouble and ulceration, and advised an objected—and I decided as a last resort to by Lydia F. Rinkham's Vegetable Compound. The bad symptoms disappeared, and I am once more strong, vigorous and well; and I can express my thanks for what I has done more." Serious feminine troubles are steadily on the increase among women—and before submitting to an operation every woman should try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and Pinkham at Lydia Lynn for advice. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been curing the worst forms of female compaflins, all functional troubles, inflammation, weakness, irregularities, indigestion and nervous prostration.

AND DISCREDIT THE PRESIDENT. Reasons Why Thery Is a Democratle Alliance Today With the Cerporations to Effect Defeat of the Republican Candidates—Hlatory Recalled, the weakness of the law under which the commission might determine all matters and enforce nothing—could point out the Femedy.for evils, but could not apply the Femedy. One of the chief factors in bringing tos head the prevailing senti- ment in favar of reform of the inter state commerce law was the Interstate Commerce Law convention. At @ notable convention held in St. Louls two years ago the sentiment Cor reform was crys tallized {nto a formal demand on con- gross for affirmative action. Ex-Gov. Larrabee's address before the convention was clroulated In all the gtate and did much to shape sentiment. Early Advocate of Reform, Previous to this, however, Gov. Cum mina had been doing, much work to fur er this reform and (na great speech before the Upper “Mlasissipp! River m= provement association at Dubuque he hud Geclared that “what we need now more than ‘any other one thing 1s some tris bunal of the general government having authority throughout’ the length and breadth of the land which shall be In- vested with the power to supervise and Fevise and recreate the rates established by the railways for Interstate com: merce." Gov, Cummins spoke before the Gorn Belt. Meat Producers’. association and. before other bodies of shippers and businessmen enrnestly advocating the giving of power to the Interstate Com. Merce commission, or similar body, of the power to regulate rates; and what he did haa 8 great deal to do with the inking of popiilar sentiment in Towa to back up all who. might be engaged In this laudable work. Saw the President. Buch was the iizh standing of the gov- emor of Towa that he was selected en one of @ committee to go to Washington Just ‘before the opening of congress.

AS PRESENTED BY IOWA'S GOVERNOR ADVANCED GROUND TAKEN BY GOVERNOR CUMMINS IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS ON QUESTIONS WHICH MUST BE MET. Commercial Combinations and Trusts—Curbing the Power of Monopoly—Corporations in Politics—The Menace of the Railroad Lobbyist. Gov. Albert R. Cummina in his inaugural address January M. DW: It is evidently appropriate upon this occasion to announce the duties of citizenship, to re-gramme some of the questions which engage the public mind, and to again receive to promote good government. The experience of the world establishes beyond controversy that nothing is more helpful in the solution of the constant discussion of the plans suggested for the reform and betterment of the rules of society. It is unfortunately as common as misunderstanding and to deside the reform; but the errors and decision proceed either from a corrupt heart or an unthinkable mind.

It is unfortunately as common as misunderstanding and to deside the reform; but the errors and decision proceed either from a corrupt heart or an unthinkable mind. Reform and the advance of the republic is the growth of its industrial life. The Doctrine of Reform. I therefore make no apology for the belief that many of the questions proposed to us by the evolution of the time have been answered by other hand, he who predicates his demand for change upon the hypothesis that what we have is wholly bad and proposes to change it, he who pursues toward higher efficiency in government, in a superficial agitator, who becomes himself to defeat by ignoring the friend of progress recognizes that what we have is good, but perceives that we may have better. He sees life and energy in the changing relations of men and phases; and he knows that government, to he just and effective, must adapt himself to the changing relations of men and the energy in his understanding that this generation has something more to do than to glorify the past and enjoy the fruits of its vio- Industrial Combinations The rapid accumulation of wealth and its unparalleled concentration were the distinguishing characteristics of the last decade of the nineteenth century. These characteristics led the government to pursue a query for government investigation. The subject has, by common consent, received a name which, though once appropriate, now altogether outweighs the moral responsibility and industrial trusts have provoked much thought which, as yet, has produced little result. Originally they were, as the names imply, concerts of independent companies acting in the interest of the several constituent parts. In that sense they have substantially disappeared, and there have been substituted for them incorporations that have become properly business affected by them. They shall not pause to inquire whether these vast incorporations are wise or unwise. The extinction of the independent trader, merchant and manufacturer may ultimately extend to free institutions. A Deplorable Tendency. Destruction of Competition. The most manifest evil of these tremendous aggregations is their effect upon competition. Competition is the paramount law of industrial life. It may and should it must exist in full vigor if we do not desire the government to assume the power of fixing the prices of industrial goods; it must clear the market; single corporation owned and controlled the transportation facilities of the United States it would be absolutely necessary for the government to prescribe and enforce such regulations; it is equally clear that if a single corporation controlled the manufacture of the important commodities required by modern industry, it would be long continued, it would be necessary for the government to fix the price at which such commodities should be sold, and to ensure that successful consolidation, though it does not draw in all the products in which it deals, harrows the field of competition. There may be sharp and effective competition with other companies, not so likely with a greater number. The Direction of Reform. I have mentioned these things, not to indicate that I think there is a perfect combination of the natural laws of individual enterprise; but rather to point out the lines along which interference is not only permissible, but demanded. First, the nature of the combination could be, and should be, limited to the natural desire to make profit from the business in which the corporation is to operate. Second, the nature of the business that many of the large industrial combinations would not have been proposed or affected had it not been for the corporation to make stupendous fortunes in the mere operation of consolidation. It HON. E. H. HUBBARD, For congress. Eleventh district. is said, and I believe it to be true, that more than 20 per cent of the stock of a company is in pure fiction, and the opportunity to gamble upon the stock exchange in worthless stock has been uppermost in the minds of many investors in learning together these organizations. Evil of Watered Stock. Every corporation should be required to have its capital stock paid for at par, in money, before it is authorized to transact business. The genius for deception is to make the corporation tender for stock, and it should be declared the counterfeit it is. The evil of over-capitalization has still another serious phase. It furnishes an illegitimate factry natural for the members of a corporation so organized to endeavor to pay dividends not only upon the real capital invested in the business, but also upon baseless stock which represents nothing to the standard promoters and the weakness of the law. Need of Federal Action These suggestions would be idle if there were no practicable remedy for the obvious wrong. There is no hope of at least making the state in which the greater number of these companies is organized secures a revenue from them more than sufficient to fund their development, and seems easily convinced of the justice of its laws. I believe the question is a national one, and that the people of the United States must nisze the difficulty of amending the constitution of the United States; but I know that whenever the people are sufficiently well organized, the forms corporation which are to do business throughout the country, and in which the people of one state are quite different from the people of another are permitted to organize, they should be compelled to show that their capital stock has been paid for in money, that the real value of the property they own is great as the stock which represents it. Positive Remedies Needed. I am unable to agree that we can cure whatever evils may exist in these organizations, by publicity. Their affairs are already sufficiently public so that every [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. HON, JOHN C. CROCKETT, For clerk of supreme court intelligent man understands in a general way of what they are composed, what they are doing, and what they are earning. It is well enough to require them to make an examination, but if we are to limit our regulation to mere publicity, the outcome will not justify the attention we are bestowing upon the subject. In an explanation of a moment ago, that competition is the force upon which we must rely to regulate the prices of the products of industry, for most companies with explicit incentive to which we would be driven if competition were eliminated. I sincerely hope that we will find sufficient protection against the efforts to monopolize competition, in the natural impulse to enter a profitable business; and if these corporations, however large, can be put and maintained upon a lawful basis, I confidently believe that industrial monopolies cannot endure.

It is the difference between the man who meets you upon the highway, knocks you down and takes what you have, and the man who steals into your house in the night while you are asleep and robs you of your treasures; and if I had to make a choice between the two I should consider the highway robber the more honorable, because he does what he does openly and before the world.

Stahl, president of the Farmers' National congress, in behalf of the American farmers, wrote to Governor Cummins as follows at that time: "I cannot refrain from thanking you for your open letter to Senator Elkins.

Credit for the Victory. railroad rate regulation is one of the most notable victories achieved against corporate power. Governor Cummins and the Republicans of Iowa who are with the president deserve great credit for their part in the reform. The allied corporation and democratic forces engaged in fighting Governor Cummins and the Republican ticket did every effort to credit the president and to checkmate the movement for effective rate regulation. They are today making their fight for the same reasons that they made their fight last year. The victory for rate regulation is not wholly won; it will not be a complete victory until the people have testified to their appreciation of the work of the men who have been foremost in the movement and condemn by their votes the men who threw every possible obstacle in the way of effective rate regulation. NUATION. ever hear, during his first term in of the governor of the fact that the several years the most beautiful affairs the United States, is ill, decided that the com- mission did not have authority to fix the situation, and once took a ratings of the situation. Their increase in mileage from 128 to 140 for nine years, was 1.5 percent. Their increase in gross earnings, 16.5 per cent. Their increase in net earnings, 12.5 per cent. cent. Their increase in mileage from 1897 to 1906, for eight years, was 16.2 per cent. Their increase in gross earnings, 84.7 per cent. Their increase in net earnings, $1.1 per cent. cent. will be noticed that after the decision of the supreme court in 1897 that the interstate commerce commission did not have the power to make rates; that the railroads advanced their income by the railroads following years. Until the enactment of the law approved June 20, 1906, and which took effect the 8th of August last, there was no law whatever upon books of the railroads to limit the railroads as to what they might charge. Seek Complete Control. It will be seen from this that the railroads have had the unlimited power of taxation on the commerce of the country, and that they have had the free hand, especially since the year 1871. Were this their only offense it might have been tolerated. But the state governments than complete control of national and state governments would satisfy them. They made large contributions to the campaign funds of both of the states, and they mandated obedience from them in return. The condition was becoming intolerable, when President Roosevelt asked that reasonable restriction be placed upon all houses of both houses of congress were opposed to the measure, but under the strenuous demands of the president a law was passed, embracing perhaps the minimum resi- tion required, accepted by the people upon the subject. Railroad Dialike Roosevelt. The men who have got control by hook or crook of the great corporations of the country, are bitter in their opposition to the government, and troublesome man to trust monopolists. They were not content to let him remain as governor of New York, and they situate themselves in the vice president of the United States, but in this efforts were thwarted by his providential elevation to the presidency, by the nomination in 1804, the only man in whom they had hopes of succeeding with was providentially removed. They are deservedly the most important man not go to the White house. The content is now on between the people under the lead of President Roosevelt on one side, and the people under the unscrupulous men, on the other side. Other questions should be subordinated to this until it is settled whether we are to have the people, for the people, or a government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations, whether it has entered upon shall be continued and carried out to a successful termination or not. This is the paramount issue now. The people are only just commenced. The rate bill passed by the last session of congress is only one small step forward. The work of the corporations are under complete control. How Roads Tax Iowa The subject of corporation control is of such vast magnitude when considered from a national point of view that we have no control over it from the Iowa standpoint. We have 9,807 miles of railroad in this state and their gross receipts last year were $23.4 billion, preceding year. Their net earnings were $19,201,809, an increase of $3,912,255 over 1903. Gross receipts have increased $23.4 billion, preceding year, while mileage increased only 15 per cent. Took $10,000,000 Too Much. Dividends are paid by the railroads on at least twice as much capital as was stockholders. More than one-half of the stockholders. More than one-half of the issued by them is water, for which no legitimate payment was ever made. The dividends loans are capitalized and dividends are paid twice as much as was ever invested in them by the stockholders. We have heard great complains about the evils of absentee taxes and that the taxes taken from Ireland by the English, and from Cuba by the Spanish, yet we are suffering from the same thing right here. Wall Street has many things from the railroads in this state last year, after paying all expenses of operation, all taxes and large amounts for the stockholders more than it was legitimately entitled to. Disappoints Corporation Manager. When we fully realize the situation, we understand why the railroad corporations are the most important of the nominations on our state ticket this year. And this is the most important of the nominations at the coming election. I hope the voters will permit themselves to be misled. In my diagonis of the case I find this to be the situation here. Governor Cummins has proved a disappointment to corporation managers. Notwithstanding the that he had wealthy expatriate clients at the time, the firm once once organized to give him private barbed wire trust that he would be able to export and not take prices. Government officials have to be employed to present their case with good presentation and ability to a successful client. The private estate per瓦德斯 will period well remember them. I built about that time for them. Upon which the savvy man was about to I cannot forget the usable service rendered to the firm this state. In 1857 he was elected to the Iowa independant republican. I was then imprisoned with him. I must confess that I much against him. The tempestuous prominent at that time was who did confess upon it. I knew that he had been imprisoned by railroads as a civil engineer, a time of his election, was employed as a professor and unscrupulous legislator, classed him with other prominent torreys who had I known before my half over, when I did confess to my and found that I had made theimate of the man; I found that we clients as a torreer, he also was loathed in Iowa as a legislator. I soon that he was a fair man and emulated appeared to him to be right. He was in helping to free railroad legislator, and had the honour to vocate the adoption of such laws, upon my recommendation, as a member of the conference over the printing touches on law, and he was pleased, and thanks to his wife carefully passed by the last leader the law of 1858 stands today as it was. He was a legislator, a justice, an assever as men as ever meet in a legislator railroad lobbybills were much disliked him as a legislator. They were disliked by authority by stooping to co-operate with their disreputable methods. After he had taken the oath as a governor, he fully amored his ability upon him. He realized that the people of Iowa denying upon him had never before such a clientele he has performed his official duties. Those which were pleasant, his ability and fairness, no one can Further Offends Ballreade He found that the assessment of the road property had not kept pace with road property had not kept pace with increase in value, and it has been increased in value. This increases the taxes of the road about $400.00 per annum and raiseser taxpayers to that amount. This increases the disparity of the railway, but he further offense by vexing a bill, which it had become a law would have disgrace upon the state by making it rendezvous for legalising corporate he. He again provoked their wrath by ing the legislature to abolish the law which it did to a certain extent. It was also the case that the institution a year was distributed in the for the purpose of influencing public iniment in favor of railroads. He also visited President Roosevelt to emphasize his recommendations giving the interstate commerce concession increased powers and he also appeared before the United States Senate to emphasize his recommendations in favor of such legislation. Efforts To Defeat Him. Many a man has been defeated for public office by railroad influence for less offense than the smallest of the men. We have never wondered that orders went out on Wall street to their political heathen Iowa that this man must be defeated for the means or foul. We have never seen in Iowa anything to be conceived with the deprived, corrupt and shame methods resorted to by them in the past. For lack of legitimate grounds for posing him, stores are told of him as a traygain expenditures of the public funds, both of which disappear the snowlake in June when truth is told. Government officials have traygain blindly or willfully. He realized that all of the railroad poration influences of the state, with its funds, be brought into requisition in an attempt to defeat him. He did not desire and term, feeling that he could not afford make the sacrificial cost of the war been declared against him by the corruption managers, the general voice of people from the parts of the country he must lead the forces continue the worries that he had begun. One of less courage would shrunk from the task, but due to his desire to be a leader in my opinion it is the duty of every of us, who desires to have the state arned by the people instead of the state, to support Cummins hearty support regardless of party nations. Unless we stand by a public foe who is faithful in the performance of duties, how can we exercise officer to stand by our interests in future? Danger in the Future If we encourage such methods as we resorted to by the corporation forcing the recent campaign to impose the same political conditions here that now exist Cuba. If these men are to control government with unrestricted power they go on increasing the power of the country as we have during the last ten years, how will it be before we are left with per cent of our earnings as a result of the wars before the revolution of its? You may not be clined to heed this warning for you are not apt to learn wisdom joying great prosperity when we have no will ofills to be more to profit by the lessons of history. Governor Cummins recommended last general assembly to enact election law for the country that does not permit a 10th year conviction for every one of the wisdom of the recommendation? Ticket a Strong One. The republican ticket is an extra good one. Senator Garrison self-ish to be well fitted and wise led the well-fitted for the office of tenant governor, or any other that he may be called upon to do. His other name on the ticket is morality of the people, and the ticket is elected by a large majority, and it is elected by such an overwhelming that the corporation will must stand that the corporation they must vote on politics his state, and to their legitimate business. The democrats have nominated a ticket of most excellent men, and if corporation is bounded a quarter of dollars to defeat any one of them I would be in favor of his republicans join with the corporation elect him. We are all members of Iowa family and our interests are In other states the people are are their independence and are are corporation rule. They must possess the pie election governor Johnson. a state the same election gave Press Rosevelt over 160,000 plus pilgrimage consin Governor LaFollette by a large majority of the corporation holds the office him. In another Governor Deneen and in Governor Folk were elected with the forces against him. let let he be found taking a secondary place in movement should always be the governor rank of every good man. .

Upon the generality, ninety-ninth congress of Iowa in January, 1891, Governor Cummins was inaugurated, and in his inaugural address he tried to make it very plain that his policy was for all people among other things, he said: "Corporations have, and ought to have, many privileges, but among them, one privilege is to occupy seats in legislative chambers. Corporations, as such, should be vigorous, and should participate in political affairs. Here at least the rich and the poor, as individuals, should meet upon a plane of absurdity of the state. I cannot resist the beaten and the unprotected amendment would not enable the two or three railway companies to which they apported their own profit and for the advantage of the people, but that its only substantial effect would be to overthrow the current company, and out of the purchase of the stock of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, Northern rachel Railroad company. Prior to October last, the Chicago company owned and operated a vast railway line, a part of which was in the state of Iowa. The company itself of Illinois and under such laws it had built up one of the largest as well as the United States. It had, in large measure, constructed a double truck from Chicago to New York, should meet upon a plane of absurdity of the state. It had been in the enjoyment of all the privileges which a foreign corporation The corporation lobbyist has, I regret to say, become one, the first to recognize that he has become a stench in the nostrils of a decent community, and he ought to be pursued by the penalties of the law from the presence of every member of the legislative body in the country. The Lobby at Work. Changed Hubbard Bill. In the meantime, the first bill introduced, the Hubbard bill, was pending before a senate committee. Its author had not realized that this bill would change the laws of the railroad lobby, to make the most remarkable change in laws laws relating to railroads ever known. This bill was taken to Governor Cummins by interested persons, and to its becoming a law of Iowa. Governor Cummins indicated that he would never approve such a bill, but he did state that if the bill was modified in certain important particulars, it would be approved. A few days later in the senate there was added to this bill a clause which absolutely destroyed its character in relation to railroad mergers and rendered it harmless. In this clause the statute and is signed by the governor. The two bills were in fact two important parts of the programme of the railroad lobby at that time. In brief, the two bills were: the landlord bond incorporated under Iowa laws might issue bonds to any desired amount without reference to the amount of capital stock outstanding, the Iowa law now requiring the landlord to finance the amount of two-thirds the capital stock unless the total issue of bonds be less than $150 per mile. The Moleherry bill removed this limitation, so that an Iowa railroad corporation might buy or control a railroad in any other state of the union. Two Bills for One Purpose. If these two bills had become a part of the Iowa law, the famous Northern Securities merger which the federal courts condemned and which President Obama made its domicile in Iowa. It will be recalled that the Northern Securities company was organized under New Jersey laws and the acquired the Great Northern Securities about this time the same financiers acquired control of the Burlington road. It was found impossible under the laws as they existed for the Northern Securities the two Northern railroads and the Burlington. If the Moleshery and Hubbard bills as they were introduced had become the Iowa law, it would then have been enacted, under the Burlington Railway company, which had but recently been organized in Iowa as a holding company. The Moleshery bill might have accompanied the most glorious and most infamous railroad merger ever planned in this country. Reasons for the Vrtc. In his veto of the Molesherry bill in March, 1992, Governor Cummins reviewed at some length the history of Iowa legislation respecting the formation of railway companies. He noted that while the Molesherry bill purported to be a measure to permit railroad companies to be a measure to betteriment of their systems it in fact did nothing of the sort. And he said, in view of these conditions which are well known, and are a part of the blue FARMERS AND THEIR FRIEND Secretary James Wilson; The farmers of owe a lot to Governor Robertson, who appointed a committee of their numbers—Pather Clarkson, Wallace, then against the bankers who defend them against the bankers who oppose him. Mr Cummins was retained as their advocate. They won the fight, and they thank their attorney for much of it. tory of the state. I cannot resist the belief that the real application of the proposed amendment would not enable the state to impose such a requirement it would apply to improve their properties for their own profit and for the advantage of the people, but that its effect would be to come real or imaginary difficulties growing out of the purchase of the stock of the Chicago, Burling, on & Quincy Hall, and Northern Illinois Railroad company. Prior to October last, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway company built a railway line in a part of which was in the state of Iowa. The company itself was organized under the name of the state railway company, built up one of the largest as well as one of the best railway systems in the country, and constructed a double truck from Chicago to the Missouri river. For many years and been in the enjoyment of all the privileges of the exercises in our state, and in so far as the mere operation of its lines of railway service is necessary any reason that would lead its managers to abandon the old corporation and organize a new one in our state, day of October 1917, day of October 1918, but, there was filed in the recorder a office of Des Moines county, Burlington & Quincy railway, with an authorized capital stock of $100,000, and the right to begin business when scribed. It took to itself practically all the powers which can be acquired by the company, especially the power to purchase and become the owner of the system of railway lines which had therefore been owned by Burlington & Quincy Railroad company. Motive for the merger. It is not difficult, if inquiry be made, to and a motive for the organization of this company, to have been so prosperous could not, either by reason of the laws of Illinois or by reason of the laws of Wisconsin or of its stocks by the two Minnesota companies, create a volume of indebtedness that those two companies would create to add another corporal lion, and Iowa was therefore necessary to create a common knowledge that the new company, with an insignificant amount of capital stock actually taken, had leased the land, and that it must be true that it is without substantial asses save the lease, and with such asses it must be true that if anything is purely speculative. In this NOT WANTED. Governor Cummins: "In what I shall have to say, there shall be neither hope not expectation of bringing to the support of the republican party what is ordinarily known as corporate influence." situation it seeks to incur indebtedness without limit. It is one thing to grant to railway companies the right to borrow the money needed to aid in the construction of a railway; it is quite another way; it is quite another way to authorize a class of railway companies to incur unlimited obligations without respect to the rights of their property. I cannot bring myself to believe that this species of special legislation consistent with our welfare, successor to the legitimate development of railway property; on the contrary, it is my firm belief that corporal liability consists of stocks, and to incur indebtedness, needs regulation rather than expansion. The Hubbard bill as amended was passed in 1911, and the law of lutes. That law provides: That any railroad corporation organized that any railroad corporation may operate a railroad therein, may lease, purchase or otherwise acquire, own, contract or otherwise own, or compete with, of this said railroad, not parallel or competing therewith. In any other state or country, that any railroad may own, or compete with, that and may purchase and control the stock, bonds or securities of any such exchanger, or any other state or territory of such other state or territory. Destroyed Effect of BILL. No Mergers Under Iowa Law. It has been represented by the democrats and their allies in this campaign in Iowa this year that as a matter of fact, the Rock Island railroad the Hubbard bill, there have been railroad mergers effected; that, in short, it was under this bill that the Rock Island railroad organized a new company and ordered certain railroad properties in Texas and Oklahoma. The statement is absolutely false. The Rock Island did increase its railroad merger from 1990 to 1991 in Iowa, under the Iowa laws, and paid into the state fee aggregating about $25,000 for this privilege, but such action was not made. The filings were under the old law and might have been made ten years ago as well as four years ago. There was nothing in the old law to prevent a company from merging with another. And there was never at any time any limit on the size of a corporation under the Iowa law. The Rock Island railroad would have saved about $250,000 if it had merged with another company before it did. This is the only difference between the new and the old law. As a matter of fact the Rock Island company has never been engaged in the merger of any other state lines with which to make exten- clean. It is a matter of profit to laws and of advantage to the state to have these companies organised under laws law and with the restriction that the lines acquired are "not parallel" to the lines are no real objection to such extensions. Why Was Porter Silent? Mr. Porter in his various speeches in the state has stated that if Governor Cummins deserves credit for the veto of the Molaberry bill, he I. Porter, also deserves credit for the Molaberry bill in the first place. The fact is that only five or six senators voted against the bill and Mr. Porter does deserve credit for having voted against it, but he would have deserved more credit. Mr. Porter has pointed out upon the floor of the senate, the essential evil, of the bill, for if he had done that, the bill never would have got beyond the senate. It only required that Governor Cummins point out the error in the bill, or almost every senator to be against it. Mr. Porter also takes credit to himself for having voted against the Hubbard bill. He has been quoted as saying "that Governor Cummins signed the bill without mentioning the Hubbard bill and not the Molaberry bill that the railroads desired. Mr. Porter knows that Governor Cummins did protest against the Hubbard bill as it was introduced and that the Hubbard bill was common sense to a final vote in the senate and he knows perfectly well that the rail- WHERE I am For many years the state of Iowa advance payments of drafts and war lying idle in the same banks.

In a recent speech opening the campaign Congressman Robert G. Cousins said: "Any body should ask me tonight what is the crux and the crown of the whole financial, social and economic attack should tell him in a very few words what I believe to be the truth. For almost a decade our government has favored—for all American enterprises, in every pursuit involving labor and capital, in every effort to unusually well in whatever line it has been invested. In all times have been subserved by evil doers, and the larger the volume of business the larger the number of businesses, both for good and evil transactions. And so it happens that during the past year our corporations have conspired to satisfy their贪欲 and evil purposes. But never in our history have so many of them been so successful. The conscience of a nation has put in operation laws that were already in effect. But our government has enacted more potent and far reaching laws, as testified by President Roosevelt, than any congress In my judgment the sordid greed for gold in this American nation will be the greatest and most worthy people.

It will not be given over either to the corruptions or to populists or socialists or to the extreme element. It will be ruled by intelligence. It will not be surrendered to greed nor sacrificed to ignorance. It will talk and dread about exalting the condition of the country is better than it has even been.

In an address in which he referred to the veto of the Mollsbury bill, Governor Cummins I was first inaugurated in January, it 2, inside of a month, a law passed that allowed the railroad to stain the fair name of the commonwealth of Iowa. It was known as the Mollsbury bill, it was intended to stain Iowa, and Iowa, and shame, or that state to our own. I believed it was intended to make Iowa the railroad to issue unlimited evidences of debt and the railway men asked me to sign. I knew then that I was at the parting of the ways, and that I must choose the railroad by their assistance, or the thorny path accompanied by my conscience alone. Personal friend in the employ of a railroad, whose position I had been instrumental in securing, and said, the bill meant a great deal for his railroad. I said it was a vicious measure. He said to me and wanted me to sign it. I said, "Do you think I ought to sign this bill, help the railroad to secure it, because it is a vicious and harmful measure." "That is just what I mean," he said. bluntly. "This is a large room, but it is not big enough to hold us both, and by and; not enough to hold us both, and by not the Eternal I am going to remain.

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS Leading Democratic Newspaper On the Record of Those Who Essay To Control Iowa Affairs. In the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, the leading and most consistent democratic daily paper of Iowa, edited by Louis Murphy, the quarrel in the democratic democracy on the national committee was discussed at length and the paper said: the newspaper purposes to discuss, for the information of the members of the democratic national committee, the recount of who is asking the committee to elect him instead of Mr. Cato Sells of Vinton to the state legislature. It has been charged against Mr. Marsh that he boiled the ticket in 1884, that he was a member of the committee and that he is not in sympathy with the progressive tendencies of the party. What proof is there to sustain these The names of several other Waterloo men, including those of them democrats and conspicuous supporters of Mr. Marsh—Messas, J. T. Sullivan, and Robert Boltger in 1898. There appear also the name of W. Smith of Waverly, the democratic minister, mitten, the leader of the Marsh campaign, may not be amiss to say for the benefit of the members of the national railroad company, every shipper who had in the past, or hoped to in the future, receive favors at the railroad support, and shipped him into Chicago as a delegate to the "rump" Mr. Marsh's presence at the "trump" convention in opposition to rate regulation, he is not and never has been in sympathy with the progressive tendency of the state in 1994.

Address. ANALYSIS OF THE QUESTION OF STATE EXPENDITURES AND AFF PROPRIATIONS. Wherein Iowa Has Been the Gainer by Reason of Liberal Treatment of State Institutions—iowa Policies Are Good For All Time. IOWA A GROWING STATE: The expenditures of the United States government under the administration of President Roosevelt have increased many fold. The nation is expanding. It is rich. Its greatness is recognized. A Republican congress and a Republican president but do that which is necessary in keeping pace with the times. The expenditures of every state of the union have been increasing, just as there is increase in the expenditures of every county and every city. In like manner the expenses of every prosperous business man, or merchant, or farmer, are the increase. The county of Iowa is a bigger and better state today than it ever was before. It cares for the thousands of dependents and unfortunates better than ever before. It does more for the veterinary profession than it ever did before. It is doing more for agriculture, for manufactures, for all industries, than ever before. Above all else it is doing better for education than any other state of the union. Some criticism has been made of the fact that the state of Iowa is thus expanding in every direction. The expenditures have been denounced by the democratic candidate for governor as extravagance and wasteful spending, which purport to show how greatly have the actual expenses of the state increased. These statistics are incorrect, and the conclusions which it is expected the people will draw from them are wholly wrong. In the first place the figures which he gives take no account of the fact that the biennial fiscal periods do not correspond to the calendar periods of those years. But Mr. Porter undertakes to lead his hearers to believe that Gov. Cummins is wholly responsible for the millions which are being spent under appropriations of the state, and that he knows that this is not true. The expenditures which a governor may directly control are few indeed. But even granting that Governor Cummins is responsible for the increased expenditures of the state, or that the executive council has full control, which it has not, the statement and argument of Mr. Porter are about one side of the ledger and does not explain wherein NEAR TO THEIR HEARTS Governor Cummins: "The principle that the government of the United States and the government of the men, and not by its corporations, is nearer to the hearts of the people than any article of partisan faith." the increase shown is, in many respects, apparent and not real. For instance, the books of the state show that in the year just ended the examination of banks, insurance companies and loan and trust companies in the office of the state auditor was $19.722.02. These same books show that previous examination of the state funds for this purpose. Wherein is the difference? The examinations were made previously and they were paid for. But in other cases, the state put them in their pockets and the state's books showed nothing in regard to the same. It was under this old system that insurance examinations were made. The fees and brought scandal upon the state. Under the Cummins administration every cent received for fees of every sort goes into the state treasury and the examiners and brought scandal upon the state. Under the Cummins administration every cent received for fees of every sort goes into the state treasury and the examiners and brought scandal upon the state. Hence the appearance on the ledger of new accounts. But Porter shows only the expense side and conceals the column which shows receipts from the same source. If he gave both sides to the judge the charge by the change. By showing only one side he makes it appear as an added expense to the state. The same condition of affairs exists regards the oil inspection service. Formerly the judge is the state to the state; as a profit. Yet the figures Porter gives shows it now to be an expense. And so it is with many other departments. The books of the state of Iowa are open so that every person may have wherein this increase has been. Here are some items which go to make up the Ten years ago the three state educational institutions were receiving an annual allowance for support and the expenses of $77,041.88; now the allowance is $202.32. In the past five years there has been expended in permanent improvements on the three educational institutions a total of $670,278. In the past five years there has been expended for new buildings at the uncompleted insane hospital at Cherokee, $500- In the same period there was expended for permanent improvements at the other state inane hospitals, $423,688. Ten years ago the cost of the soldiers in the state was $313,469 in two years. Last year the same institution, more a great hospital than merely a resting place for the veterans, cost the state $150,678. More than $121,000 has been spent on the home improvement improvements in the few years. The main building of the school for the deaf at Council Bluffs burned, since which time the state has spent in replacing the same $20,718. The main buildings at Glenwood burned and others were to torn by storms. The state has put $139,968 into permanent improvements there. Aside from the great work being done for the solder in the Marshalltown the state has included in the past three years $132,496.46 on monuments on the southern battlefields. An item of expense to the state under the administration which did not come to any other effect, that of completion of the capitol including repair after the great fire. This cost the state $60,671. Another item of extraordinary pride coming under the state's name was the state historical building, which more than $172,900 has been paid. The state contributed for the building of magnificent live stock pavilion and the building for agriculture, horticulture and dairy departments at the state fair $84,000. It is to the state of paying the salaries of the district and supreme judges of the state is annually more than $19,100. Good deal has been said about the alleged extravagance of the departments directly under control of the governor. Here are the facts: The expense of governor's office is, in fact, to some degree the direct control, and the expense under the administrative buildings, who is appointed by governor. For the period ended July 1, 1877, the expense of these two days was $41,613. For the period ended July 1, 1876, the expense of these same partments was $41,613. Where is the extravagance? THE STATE AUDITOR ON STATE EXPENSE Mr. Carroll Tells the Facts About the expenditures and Defends the Record of the Republican Party. State Auditor B. F. Carroll: The impression seems to prevail that the executive council is responsible for the amount of money raised and expended for state purposes. The council should effect the express will of the legislature. The duty of the council is to see that expenditures have been authorized and are made in compliance with law. That should be borne in mind, however, that a large per cent of the state's funds are not used for expenditures the council either directly or indirectly. The expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, were in round number $35,650,000. More than 80 per cent of the entire amount, or $23,825,000, was expended for the benefit of the state institutions, including the proval of the council. Of the last amount named about $18,300,000 went to institute the three educational institutions, remaining $10,675,000 was expended as lowes: For the general assembly, $12,800,000 for the departments of the state, $18,000,000 for the state militia, $70,000 for miscellaneous municipal matters, historical building, museums, southern battlefields etc. $10,000,000 for the purchase of supplies, fuel, furniture and fixtures, postage, and other expenses. 100 The increase, however, is more than that set by the annual budget for the last year was round numbers $122,000, so that, as a matter of fact, the increase was a product of these sources. Deflecting the items of increase in the salaries of the examiners, boards, et al., under the changed provisions of the law from the departmental departments of state, and withstanding the vast increase in the state expenditure for the last year over the five years ago of less than 5 per cent, which is the state for the state as above shown. That there has been an increase in the expenses of our schools, but that the purpose of which the expenses have been incurred are generally commensal to our education, has been for the maintenance and support of our educational institutions. The legislature may have been liberal in its appropriations for these purposes, but the constitutions, will say that it has been liberal. He who objects should be subject, and which institutes should not have received its aid. Iowa's pride is the richness of its her majesty, and the pride of her citizenship. Nature nurture on the soil, we build our own charm, but our state institutions are our liberality in providing for them. SETTLE IT NOW.
