MILLER WITHDRAWS AS FACTOR Present State Chairman Concludes to Seek No Further Honors—Rinehart Meeting Place. Special to Tluies-Republican. Cedar Rapids, March 26.—The larg est attendance in the history of the party in years characterized the state democratic convention, which met. here in the Auditorium today. While not many sensations were promised in what was recognized on all sides as a Bryan love feast, much comment and surprise were evoked by State Chalr man Miller's action refusing to be considered as the active leader of the party. Miller no^ only positively re fused to be a candidate to succeed himself as a member of the state com mittee, but also gave notice that he would not act as district delegate, with which his name had been prominently mentioned. While the committee mut ter woula not come up until the sec ond convention, Miller evidently want ed to establish his position once and for all. The fight for the relocation of the second state convention, threshed out In the state central committee last night, gives every Indication of coming to the floor of the convention in the form of a motion. The prospects are now that the date will be changed, and Sioux City will keep the second. Even the Des Moines delegates themselves ure divided on the question of a change Jerry SulUvan himself being opposed tP it- Every indication Is that the resolu tions will, follow the general trend of the Nebraska platform in order that Bryan lhay point to the significant ac tion of both states. John D. Dennison, of Dubuque, will •rlikeiy be permanent chairman. O. O. Holly, of Polk, is most likely the chair man of- the. resolutions committee. •A surprise was In the turn-down of G. F. Rinehart as a member of the resolutions committee in the Seventh district, which was claimed by many as solely owing to his personality. If the resolutions are adopted as they now stand and in Holly's hand, they will mean the adoption of Rinehart'* resolutions, as he prepared the present draft. Judge Carr, Claude Porter, "Jerry" Sullivan and "Ed" Dunn are most talked of for delegates-at-large, altho S. B. Wordsworth, of Council Bluffs, and John F. Dunconibe, of Fort Dodge, are mentioned. General Weaver was sidetracked because of his prohibition tendencies. Dennison is Chairman. The convention was reconvened at :15 by Chairman Porter. The com mittee on credentials settled amicably ,the Hardin county contest in the Third district by seating fourteen delegates with half a vote each. Every county end every district was represented. John Dennison was reported by the committee for permanent chairman. He was selected In committee over Maurice O'Conner, of Fort Dodge. Dennison delivered a spirited ad dress and announced that the commit tee on resolutions would not be ready to report for some time. Amid much enthusiasm a request was made that Judge Wade be escorted to the plat form. The members of the democratic national committee from Iowa then de livered an address. Deadlock in Resolutions Committee. At 3:30 there was no indication Whatever as to the platform. Some of the committee want to adopt the Ne braska platform in full others seek revision, and still others want a new platform altogether. The eleventh hour predictions for delegates-at-large are Sullivan, Carr, Wards worth and Porter. THE DISTRICT CAUCUSES. Some Warm Contests Develop in Sev eral Districts—Miller Retires. Special to Times-Republican Cedar Rapids, March 26.—The Fifth district caucus was a veritable Bryan love feast .and even an effort to amend a motion to instruct by striking out "first, last and all the time" was over whelmingly voted down.

In tile Fourth district the delegates are John MeCook of Howard, and II. B. Dorsey of Mitchell: alternates, G. W. Dillon of Worth, and A. Bernatz of Winneshiek. The only evidence oil discord was when an effort was made to instruct for Judge Wade for dele gate-at-large, and some one else moved that the vote le cast for Edward J. Dunn, of Cerro Gordo.

Indianapolis, March 26.—When the second days' session of the Indiana democratic convention opened today, the report of the credentials committee in favor of seating the Taggart dele gates from the Seventh district was adopted, and those delegates were giv en seats in the convention. The platform renews allegiance to the principles of the democratic party, and pledges that if the party is re turned to power, the evils that have grown out of republican official short comings will be corrected demands immediate revision of the tariff, that the tariff shall be for revenue only favors the income tax, and postal sav ings banks: demands that the surplus treasury funds be deposited at com petitive rates and fairly distributed thruout the country favors election of senators by direct votes, urges speedy completion of the Panama canal and liberal appropriations for the improve ment of interior waterways opposes the Aldrich and Fowler financial bills: favors emergency currency to be issued and controlled by the government op poses the ship subsidy bill: believes in the conciliation of capital and labor: opposes the indiscriminate use of the power of injunction by federal courts: disapproves the efforts of the president of the United States to dictate the nomination of his successor condemns the last congress for its profligate mony, on the suggestion of ex-Mayor ents and attributes the present finan- session of congress or at a special C.

The tariff plank of tlie platform was the subject of much discussion. Noth ing delinite was done with it until Congressman Bouteil arrived late last night with the latest Washington ideas of tlie best way in which it should be worded. The final draft of the plank did not, however. differ greatly from the original wording. The Tariff Plank. The tariff plank follows: The present tariff law, which was passed at a special session of the fifty lifth congress, convened by President McKinley, and which was signed July 24, 1S97, by that illustrious protection ist, has amply justitled all the prom ises and hopes of Its advocates and New Tariff Profitable. "We believe that the people of the United States will profit by a new tariff but it must be a republican tar iff. a protection tariff. a tar iff which recognizes in all its parts the difference between American and foreign wages, the difference be tween a high scale of living of the American wage earners and the scale of living imposed by insufficient wages upon the foreign workmen. We there fore recommend to our delegates to the republican national convention that they urge upon the convention auguration of the next president March 4, 1009. We believe our tariff should contain a provision for minimum and maximum rates—minimum r::tes givin full protection, maximum rates to invoked for retaliating upon foreign countries that discriminate against American products. We believe the two main ideas should pervade all shall be given first call on the home market secondly, that no Illegal or un just combination, trust or monopoly shall timl encouragement or shelter in any of its provisions. Wants Immediate Action. To the end that an adjustment of the tariff may be accomplished with the greatest possible gain and the |on possible loss, we suggest to our sena- supporters. It has proven most scien- lar announcing that the amount tit ap 11Hcatly adjusted, and therefore the proprlatlon by congress for the irans best tariff that was ever placed on the portation of silver coin for the year statute books.

March 26.—The condi highest wages that have evei been jjon perity than has ever prevailed during ]eyn a like period in any other country. Cost of Products Altered. The broadening of the home market and the increased foreign demand for our products have stimulated competi tion and this competition has brought out manifold new discoveries and in ventions which have materially altered the cost of production both at home and abroad of almost every article of commerce. Long continuance of the benefits conferred by the present tar iff has produced an industrial situa tion that suggests the possibility of securing by a revision of the tariff additional benefits for the. people of, the United States thru a wise contin uance of the policy of protection. It is now apparent that in order to main tain the scientific accuracy of the tar iff and remove the inequalities and prevent injustice, some new schedules must be added to the law, some present rates must be lowered, while some must be repealed altogether. The very success of the present tariff demon strates the wisdom of revising it to conform to the Improved conditions which it has produced. It was generally believed until just before the convention met that the tariff plank would declare for "ad justment/' hut. at the last minute it was stricken out, and revision alono asked. The llrst mention of Cannon's name was in tin- prayer of Kev. Francis, of I Springfield, who Invoked the divine blessing upon him and his career.

Special to Times-Republican. :i Cedar Rapids, March 26.—When the democratic state convention was called to order ahortly before noon today, Hon Claude R.

Mr. Porter said in p*rt: Mr. Porter said In part: Never in the past, in my humble. Judgment, lias the need for the effec tive application of genuine democratic principles in our governmental affairs Men as gre&t as at the present. The political engagement of 1898 has beeh termed (the "First Battle," and so it was In the struggle of the people for the restoration of the rule of man as against the rule ot dollars. It was, however, but a preliminary skirmish Compared..to the contest we are now approaching.

On October Panic. What shall I say of a recent hap pening? We who have been so accus tomed to listening to the glowing de scriptions given 'by republican orators .of the great benefits of a protective 'tariff, and ft alone how a high tariff always brings prosperity and these same,gentlemen have told us In equally Brilliant terms of the wonderful bless ings, singly and alone, from the sold standard.- Yet, to think that under the highest tariff ever enacted, which ha-'l been in force ten years, and with the gold standard in full .operation: with the friends of both in full and com plete control of every branch of our government, about the first of lasi Oc tober, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky, there came upon us a panic as direful in its results as any that has .been visited upon us In a generation. Special mention is here due ti our "'great leader. No .man -in our land, at any time, has been so greatly abused And so vilified by the large banking in terests of this country as William Jen nings Bryan, ij In season and out of jpeasoji, they |aye gone out of their Svay to traduce him. They have ex hausted the English language in their Effort to express their contempt for him and his political opinions. Not a thing that they could do, have they Jeft undone to weaken h'.s influence $nd cause him to lose the esteem of his fellowmen. If a man ever had a Just cause for seeking revenge, he did. The opportunity came to him, for no one will doubt for a moment that. With .the large personal following that he admittedly has, a ^inglj hint or suggestion at the critical time would have caused' a run on the hanks that none could have withstood. Did he seize the chance? Did he speak the word? Did he by a single act cause a suspicion that all was not well? Not W. But giant of a man and patrict -that he Is, he declared in substance in a public address in Indiana, that thai than was a traitor to his country Who In his country's financial need with drew his funds from known solvent 'banks. No republican statesmen, zeal ous in defense of the administration. Went so far as that. If I had never admired him before, I should now honor him. Shaw's Dark Picture. Imagine, if you please, my- utter, complete surprise when on taking up my Register and Leader of February 12 last, and seeing on the first paga -^la- fafge head lines the fact that :he high priest of the standpatters, Secre tary Shaw, had delivered himself of a speech the preceding day at Mar shall, Michigan, in which almost at the very commencement, he pictured a condition so dismal that I haJ to re read it several times to com inca my self that he was discussing conditions under the administration of Theo lore Roosevelt and not under one Grover Cleveland. The picture was ,this:' "Over three hundred thousand freight tears standing empty on the tracks, (eight thousand locomotives white headed and out of commission, :ne Ifourth of the population of several large cities idle, and for th3.iirst time under republican administration, iree soup .houses in every industrial center the price of farm produce naturally and materially depreciated, furnish an object lesson which ought tj produce a measure of sober mindednoss «r the part' of the American paoo'.e." Need Another Jackson. Andrew Jackson was needed in his time to loosen the hold of the bank of that day upon the government, aiul another Jackson is needed now to di vorce the United States treasury from the banks of Wall street. To see that it is run in the interest of all of the people of this great country, and not for the advantage of the stock gamb lers and brokers of that single east ern city. Nearly sixty days ago President Roosevelt, 'n a message, ulaln and im possible of being misunderstood, with all the emphasis lie could cutnman^. pointed oul the imperative need Vjf present legislation that would assist in the control of the law, defying: wealth which threatens the nation. The methods used by convicted corpora tions to mould public opinion were clearly exuosed. That the stamping out of fraud and corruption in business methods, and the prosecution of huge law violating corporations was not hurtful to honest business was reiter ated time and again. He said that the wrongs which exist must be corrected, anil we were told that it "behooved us never to swerve Irom our lesoluti purpose to out out wrong doing and uphold what is right." Congress Does Nothing. It w:is a clarion call to action an urgent demand lor immediate legisla tion along a well-defined course and on speeitied .subjects. It was written by a republican president it was ad dressed to a senate with a republican majority of two-thirds, and a house of representatives In which the republi can majority was nearly proportionate to that of the senate. Yet two months have now passed, and not a sincere, honest response to a single recommen dation of that message has been made by that republican congress. There Is but one political organiza tion to which the people of this coun try can look, inspired by any hope of success, and that Is the party that has had, and now has, as Its fundamental principle that of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," the party of Jefferson and of Jackson, the democratic party. In a campaign fresh in all our minds, but unparalleled In our history, by money, fraud and corruption. Bryan was defeated. Four years later, he was again chosen as democracy's lead er. and again suffered defeat. From that day, as in times preceding, he has continued to advocate genuine demo cratlc principles. night after night, from the lecture platform, he has advocated those Ideas and principles that are calculated to make men happier and the world better. The Peerless Leader. Backed by no political machine, or no special interests without great wealth, and occupying no high official early manhood, he enlisted on the side of those who have been styled as the Maligned, ridiculed and vilified by •those possessed of great wealth and affluence, he has never stooped to retaliate In kind. Principles that he advocated twelve years ago. and pro claimed by his opponents as beln Won P^ocjle's Resoect position, he has won a place In the hearts of the American people unriv- believe that any attack will be made aled by any other of his day. In his "common people, ana thru all mo, changing scenes of the paramount Issue, nor may it afford legislature the antl-Cummjns men a clear line of demarkation between those who are for the predatory wealth of the country, and those who are for the people. This one thing must sure ly be true, that '1.t has always been genuinely democratic, to. .oppose the robbery of the many under the guise of taxation, and the bestowal of It upon the favored: few. .The'tariff may or may not be the mother of all the trusts, but all of them display a live ly interest in the tariff, and none to my knowledge, are In favor of its re duction. It Is certainly an opportune time for .the democratic party to de clare its opposition to the mainten ance of the present tariff. Mr. Porter closed his address with he short lived. a plea for harmony In the party ranks. TALK LIBRARY EXTENSION. Trustees of Several Townships, and Others, Meet at Nevada.

C. club gave their annual reception to their friends. There is no such a thing as a cure for dyspepsia. Wo might as well talk about a cure for lame ankles. Nature must do the curing. And Nature will do It when given the chance. Tonics and stimulants may seem to help for a time. But their effect comes only from spurring the stomach to action. And weakness cannot be cured with a spur. One must relieve the stomach. Let Kodol do, for a little time, what the Btomach fails to do. Help it as you help a lame ankle. Rest it, as you rest other organs that need to recuperate. And stop the irritation of hard, undigested food. You will be surprised to note how quickly the stomach can regain Its strength. All modern treatments for indigestion aim at this relief. But they aim in different ways. Some advise dieting. That brings partial relief by omitting some elements which the stomach can't digest. But the omitted foods are important. The body requires many food elements. When you cut some of them out, you are robbing some part How can Nature restore digestive strength if you deprive it of nourishment? Another common way is to take pepsin, or di gesters which depend almost solely on pepsin. That helps a little, for pepsin digests albumen. But onlv part of your food Is albumen. Pepsin can't digest starch it can't digest fat. What will become of them? It is essential to have a digester which com­ SCHOOL EDIFICE DESTROYED. Large Structure at Pulaski Is Guttsd by Flames.

Special to Times-Republican. 'Shenandoah, March 26.—People liv ing a few miles north of here, are greatly mystified over tho disappear ance of George Law, a young man who was recently married to Miss Grace Jones, also a resident of ISiis city. Law walked out of the house the second day after the wedding, and has com pletely dropped out of sight. He is a nephew of T. G. H. Porter, and had rented Porter's farm for the coming year. The newly wedded couple were apparently as happy as could be, and the two days of their honeymoon be fore the groom's disappearance, were passed at the Porter hoine. About 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Law's disappearance he stepped out of the house and went in the direc tion of the barn. That was the last any member of the family has seen of him. Mrs. Law says thut she and her husband had been talking over their plans for the year just before, and that that her husband was in the best o( spirits and full of hope for the future. Not a shadow or suspicion of trouble was apparent. He took no money with him and no clothing other than what he was wearing, and not an incident can be recalled to Indicate that he contemplated flight. Until late in the evening the mem bers of the family did not realize the seriousness of the situation. They •made a search and inquiries of the neighbors, the only clue obtained being from a neighbor who said that he thought he saw Law walking northwest from .the Porter farm. From Inquiries at the railway stations at Essex, Inio gene and Shenandoah it was found that he did not board any train at either place. Mrs. Law hit upon the idea that pos sibly her husband had gone on a -trip to his old home in Harrison county, and suffering great distress of mind, she made a hurried trip there to make an investigation, but the trip was fruitless. Mr. Porter relates an inci dent occurring in the young man's life and believes that Law has been foully dealt with. He says that two years ago, while making his home with the Porters, the young man was assaulted by an unknown "person and that he was horribly beaten. Tn that instance Law had left the house and was not hoard from until evening, when he was found wandering about in a dazed condition and was never able to give an account of what happened.

LIGHT ON SUICIDE It Seems Likely That Man Who Killed Himself on Streets of Council Bluffs Last Week May Be Identified With Missing Central University, Pella, Professor. Special to Tlmes-Rcpubllcan. Council Bluffs, March 26.—Chief of Police Richmond is in receipt of an in quiry from Professor W. A. Young, of Central University at Pella, containing Information which It Is thought may throw some light upon the identity of Oliver Hamilton, the man who com mitted suicide upon the street here last week. Professor Young read in a Des Moines paper of the suicide and de scription of the man, which tallies so closely with the description of A. D. Cox. a missing and former professor at Central University, that he thinks the body now being held here is that of Cox. The dual descriptions tally closely In a number of details. The dead man In his talk and manners gave the police here the impression he was an English man. Professor Young says that Cox was not an Englishman but that he was a New Englander. The dead man was a victim of drugs, and Professor Young says it was suspected Cox was addicted to this evil, but that this was not definitely known to be a fact. Cox's mother, Mrs. E. A. Cox, lives at Hap scot. Novia Scotia, and upon Inquiry, wrote that she had heard nothing of the whereabouts of her son for several years. This is Worth Remembering. Whenever you have a cough or cold.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick building. New York, N. Y. A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE. Only a few weeks ago the New York Sun in startling linos editorially de clared that Roosevelt had taken the first step to begin a war between tills country and Japan that in sending our big fleet of war vessels on a trip around the world we virtually placed a chip on our shoulders and invited the Japanese to knock It off hat the Atlantic coast being left unprotected, it was only a question of a short time before the Japs would be shelling New York City unless money to the amount of millions was raised to placato them. As a jingo the Sun article was the limit, lesser lights In the newspa per world hating Roosevelt, boing ex tinguished. But a day or so ago this country received a very cordial invitation from Japan for this same fleet to stop at Japanese ports and receive the hospi tality of the Japanese people. Already preparations are being made for en tertainment that will eclipse f.ny for mer function of like nature. We can now look for a declaration in the Sun showing this later step on the part of the Japs to be a trap, whereby they will capture our whole fleet, make all of our navy officials and marines 'walk the plank." then man our sixteen war ships with Japanese sailors, cruise across the big pond with their oig navy thus reinforced, and capture every city on our Atlantic coast from the Gulf of Mexico to (hat of Maine. It is to bv loped their fighting force will not each Towa before we have time to build a few mud forts and call out the state troops. Seriously, it if a curious combina tion of circumstances that niakrs a factor of national peace, to dnd the wily Japs quick to take the advantage of stowing their jingoes, what a for midable force they would have to meet if they started a war with the United States. And If It takes sixteen war vessels to quiet the jingoes of Japan, how many would be necessary to quiet the New York Sun and other,..anti Roostvclt papers? Mi.. TIME FOR REVISION. It will be recalled that it was when Governor Cummins declared for re vision of the tariff to immediately fol low the last presidential election that the Iowa standpatters broke forth in a tirade of factionalism directed toward him. Governor Cummins has always stood for a timely revision of the tar iff as well as a business revision. And It is known of all men everywhere that Cummins has always advocated a re vision of the tariff by Its friends and as a measure for the perfecting and preserving of the policy of .protection as distinguished from any revision in the direction of a. strictly revenue tar iff. There has been no controversy over this. Then It Is also recalled that as against the Cummins view there was set up the opposing: view that tariff revision by republicans would be dan gerous and that tariff revision after election or before elec tion would be disastrous. The rabid antls mouthed the words "tariff rip pers" until they actually made a great many people In Iowa, believe that tariff revision as advocated by Gover nor Cummins and given voice in sev eral Iowa republican platforms, was a most reprehensible thing and wholly un-republlcan. Now comes the Iowa republicans, a* a united party, declaring definitely for tariff revision and Indicating, Just as Governor Cummins did four years ago, that this revision should come as soon as possible. A special session of con gress was urged then and it Is to be urged now. The time for revision Is Important only from a purely factional or political aspect. The only reason which can be urged for not having the revision made at some other time than following a national ele'ction Is the danger of such a political controversy as would en danger party success. Against this might properly be urged that revision before election, If such revision was done properly and to the credit of the revisers, would be a distinct advantage In the election. Usually performance Is better than promises. Those who Stomach Ills WILL DISAPPEAR Very quickly if you will only resort to tne Bitters as soon as you notice the first symptom of distress.

To this the republi can party of the nation will be com mitted. THE BARS ARE UP. •Recent events have moved various departments of the government to in augurate a concerted effort to clean the Augean stables of anarchy. Anurclilc and Black Hand crimes have recurred with such frequency and the circula tion of seditious literature has grown so bold that extreme measures have been deemed nocessary. The government In the past has been altogether too lenient, and its quiescent attitude has Invited the scum of the old world to come here and practice and preach its vicious teachings. Anarchy has no place or part in our government. It Is an old world plague, the germs of which are fostered by and thrive in poverty and Ignorance and under forms of govern ment and conditions of society in themselves pernicious. It Is encourag ing to note that during the past year 63.000 objectionable immigrants were vfused landing on our shores. Yet the mmigration laws, either thru lack of effectiveness or dereliction on the part of inspection and police officers, havo permitted many others to come. Now it is announced that the de partments "of commerce and labor, jus tice and postoffice. have agreed to join forces In an effort to exterminate a growing evil. The statute on treason is to be revived and used as a weapon against the followers of the red flag. Immigration Inspectors and peace of ficers will co-operate in securing evi dence on which to deport anarchists already here and to bar others who seek to land. Promises of wholesale prosecutions are made. The bounds of free speech and the privileges of liberty have been trans gressed until the reds have become a real menace. This nation will welcome honest, healthy and intelligent foreign ers seeking new homes and to better their condition, but certificates of char acter must be first class. N"otice is served that tho bars are up to the Czolgoszes, the Alios, the .Averbachs and the Goldmans. Topics of the Times Presumably Lafe will continue to pose as "the original Taft man" when everybody knows that only last year he was trying to work up a. boom for a reactionary and declaring Taft to be an impossibility. One thing Major Lacey forgot to put into the platform was the exact date when tariff revision ceased to be unrepublican and the time had arrived for becoming a revisionist. Just suppose the progressives had been in control of the convention and had adopted that platform, what would the original high protective fire eaters have been saying by this time? If senatorial matters are to be dis posed of In conventions and not left to the vote of the people, what becomes of the plan of having the people ex press their preferences? Republican voters who didn't happen to have a voice In the recent state convention may feel that they still have the last" say. A few years ago a state convention was held in Des Moines and there was such a feeling among the defeated standpatters that many of them in dulged in ugly words in the hotel lob bies. A Fifth district congressman be came especially offensive by his threats and his anger. In that case the minor ity understood perfectly well that they had been whipped so badly that they were mad about it. At the recent state convention in Des Moines the so called minority was In a most amiable mood, and If they were whipped they didn't know it. The fact is that Inso far as the convention had any effect in the senatorial matter it was not de cisive and did not even suggest the trend of the times. A great credit rating agency has insist that the republican party should operator at one of the stations along go before the peoplo with promises the line.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES he Oskaloosa Times (dem.) doesn't "Relieve there Is a standpatter In Iowa who Is sincere in his endorsement of Taft for the presidency." The Auburn Recorder advises its readers "to encourage more factories to come and leave the electric railways to other towns." "As a matter of fact any changes hi the laws—any amendments—must be offered by republicans, supported by republlcans and passed by republican votes," notes the Davenport Times. "It ought to be apparent, therefore, that to tight republicans is not the quickest way to get results if any considerable number of people desire to have any particular law amended." The Mason City'Times-Herahl be lieves that so far as anarchists are concerned, "our exports ought to ex ceed our iipports by a very large ma jority." "Lafe Young nor John li\ Lacey seri ously cares what the tarilT utterance may be if the leading strings of pat ronage are in'their hands," says the Dubuque Telegraph. Referring to democrats and their prospects in the coming campaign the Muscatine Journal says: "Jor shall we now deny them hope. Still It is not good for one, who has hoped and fought for years for some desired end, to come to believe too confidently that at last that end is about to be attained, and then to lose as tgnominiously as In the years that have passed." The Sioux City Tribune can see that "the legislation as to the number or hours an operator may work will have the effect of removing the telegraph and installing the telephone for the running of trains." "There are so many fires In schools, theaters and other public places" that the Clinton Herald fears "nervous peo ple will soon be afraid to go to church." Iowa Newspapers AN U.VJUST CRITICISM. (Manson Journal.) There has been more or less criti cism of the progressive element of the republican party for not making a fight in the last caucuses. Such criti cism is unnecessary and ill timed, for there werfe many elements which in duced the progressives to let matters go largely by default instead of mak ing a fight over a non-essential ques tion. Up in Woodbury county, where the progressives are far in the lead, they did not attend the caucuses at all, letting the Allison men have the delegation without protest, believing It were better to save their strength un til the proper time comes, when the question can be fought out on its mer its without entangling other matters. The Cummins voters will be on hand when the second of June comes, and what is more they will not be around threatening to knife the ticket if they cdnnotj have their own way. CSAN'T RE iHURRIE'D. (Cedar Rapids Gazette) Most reforms are of slow growth. Naturally spelling reform, which does not vitally affect the lives or for tunes of a people, will be of very slow growth. Hence it is that when one man or a few men attempt to make an arbitrary spelling rule whereby the or thography of so many words is radi cally changed, such attempts results in failure. Any movement which has the appearance of an attempt to "make over" the language in a day is pre destined to failure and especially when, as in recent attempts, there Is a too apparent effort to affect us with the John Billings style of orthography. Improve the language by the use of simplified spelling just as rapidly as it is practicable. In bringing about sim plification it may eventually even be 1ictlonarJes ,n dppaf1e 0r no( PX pe,,t "make over" any very considerable portion of the lan guage in a day. The people are not yet educated to the point where such an attempt Is practicable. A SENSELESS CHARGE (Waterloo Courier) But what have the state funds been paid out for anyway? Is there the least suspicion that they have not been spent for the most laudable pur poses? And do Iowans desire the leg islatures to appropriate in a niggard ly manner? Do Iowans want to see. their magnificent commonwealth, the richest of all naturally, fall behind others in the march toward better things? Would Iowans contemplate complacently the thought that their \:w*^ 7 ^narstetltxrxun, touxa march 26 I lit 8 sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters who remain In tho glorious llawkey© »tat« should not have the benefits, comforts and even luxuries enjoyed by their neighbors on every side? The Courier does not be lieve the splendid citizenship of Iowa will answer these questions affirma tively. Is ther a citizen of the state who Is not proud of every one of the state institutions of learning? Is there a citizen who Is not glad that the state provides with such euro and tender ness for those with whom destiny has seemingly dealt unkindly? Is there a citizen who would call a hult In this magnificent work of upbuilding In Towa? There certainly cannot be. On these questions of expenditure along the lines here mentioned, when there Is not a democrat who will raise his voice In protest, there certainly ought not to be a republican to cry out. And these arc the chief drains on the state treasury. It Is Indeed a base nature lhal would even in distress, drag out such an Is sue as this, and attempt to ma.ko po litical capital out of It. Renter doe like a. man and leave a respected memory than "crawiflsh" and be remembered only In contempt. WHAT OF THE HARVEST? I (Des Moines News.) There have been periods in history when for entire generations mankind has given birth to no ideas of general value. There have been other periods when human Intelligence has flowered In art, science and discovery. Lucky Is any man in any generation who has by the labor of a lifetime given to the world one original idea. You and I read and study and think, and more often than not. like the av erage garden, raise the usual crop of usual things. Rut It Is from the usual garden, carefully watched and nur tured. that spring the creative varia tions which mark new steps In pro gress. I As you watch the growing plants this season, ask yourself what kind of a brain crop you are going to raise this year. Are you going to think of anything but the same trivial and stupid thlners which ordlnarllv hold votir attention, or are you going to plow deep, harrow well, and bring forth something better than you ever have before? It Is a kind of farming which ev erybody can do and which pays ev erybody. GET A HOME. (Des Moines Capital.) Everj' man drawing a fair salary or a reasonable wage can secure a home of his own, if he shall make the effort. He need not build extravagantly. He should build with as little expenditure, as possible, and build with the plan to build an addition when the proper time arrives. If he cannot build but two rooms, he should build those. At another time he can build other rooms. The ground can be bought almost en tirely on credit,'at a low rate of inter est. Men who work but eight hours a day could do a great deal coward building their own cottages. We be lieve that a wage worker having $150 to start on can, if he shall try, get a lot and build a little home on such terms and by such an arrangement as will enable him to pay out. Then, af ter the Uttle place is built, economy should btj introduced, little savings should be accomplished. Saving is a source of enjoyment when once en tered upon. If cigars and beer have to be cut off, so much the better. Springtime and the birds are with us. The grass and trees will soon be lur ing with their greenness. Get a home. Get sunshine into yourself. Both will be good investments. REVERSING THE SITUATION. (Sioux City Journal.) If President Gompers' wishes to comprehend the sort of injustice he is asking as a right for labor let him imagine the situation reversed. Sup pose the Industrial association, or some other organization of employers, were asking congress to legalize the black list, what would labor have to say about it? With the blacklist employ ers try to prevent men who have been active In the causes of unionism from securing employment. The blacklist is of the same piece from which the boycott wa.s cut. It Is, in fact, a boycott of labor on the part of organ ized employers. It Is an outrage on the rights of labor—just such, an out rage as the boycott Is on the rights of employers. With organized employers using the blacklist, the use of the boy cott by organized employes can be de fended. With organized employes using the boycott use of the blacklist by employers can be defended. Both are expedients of industrial warfare, and while one Is tolerated the other must likewise be tolerated as a meas ure of retaliation. But there Is no place In a free country for either the boycott or the blacklist. If both are condemned by law, labor and capi tal are assured a square deal. The ef fort to approve the one and condemn the other must Inevitably be disap proved as class legislation, contrary to the spirit of our institutions. Limited Possibilities. "It Is a great thing," saiu me oo servant foreigner, "to have been born in a free country, such as this is, where every one, no matter how humbly he may have begun life, may reasonably aspire to high honors." "Yes," replied the proud American, "every boy out there in the street has the right to believe that he may some day be president." "I would hardly make It as strong as that," the observant foreigner ob jected. "There may here and there be one among them whose name is Claude or Algie."

It is the pur pose of the Iowa Dairy Cattle Im provement association, which was or ganized at the last meeting of the State Dairy association, to awaken an interest In such stock. Suppose an average gain of 50 pounds of butter fat per year wore made for each cow. That would mean $10 more per cow. There are over 1,500,000 cows in the stat'*. If their average yearly returns could be increased $10 it would mean $15,000,000 more for Iowa farmers. Worth working for, isn't it? Co-operation must be the watch word. All breeds are to be treated alike and ail breed prejudice is to be set aside in favor of dairy cattle. That Is what Iowa needs—better dairy cat tle. Every man who milks cows ought to help in this great work. R. B. Young of Buffalo ('enter is president. Hon. W. B. Quarton of Algona represents the Guernsey breed ers as first vice president. E. M.

A Stitch in Time. On the border line between winter and spring, stock need a little better care than at any other time. Instinct If not memory makes them restless. They seem to anticipate the change that is coming. They are apt to tire of the winter feed, and unexpected loss of flesh und strength may result. Vary the feed as much as possible this time of year. Sheep require special care.' "Ewes and lambs should be sheltered from the cold spring rains. Our experience is that it is not enough to furnish the shelter: the sheep must be put in and shut up. It is seldom that sheep will voluntarily seek shelter from the worst storm. Sows that are permitted to run out and to root may Injure the pigs by running too much, especially in muddy fields. Wild animals do not make so many mistakes as domestic ones. The attention man has given them seems to have blunted their natural Instincts, and man's reason must supply what he has destroyed In them.

It is a lamentable fact that a large part of the trees planted are put into the ground just as they come from the nursery, without pruning either root or branch often put into holes too small to admit the roots without being cramped, and without any fine rich soil for the roots to feed upon. It Is no wonder that so many trees die of star vation the first season, or linger along for years without making a satisfac tory growth. All trees when received from the nursery should be put at once Into a cellar, or some tight shed or stable, where the roots will be entirely secure from sun and wind, and the ends of every bruised root cut smooth with a sharp knife, cutting from the under side, and any very long root shortened. If tho land is not ready for planting, they should be at once "heeled In" In .some sheltered spot, and left until the ground is ready for them. No tree should be planted till the water has dried out enough so that the soil will crumble in the hand and can be filled in compactly among the roots. Dig holes large enough so that at least six inches of fine earth can be put in the hole under the tree to be planted, and have the hole at least ten inches larger in diameter than the roots of the tree. Place the tree in the hole with the heaviest part of the top to the southeast, that being the direction of the prevailing wind dur ing the growing season. Now get right down on your knees, grasp the tree with the left hand to hold it upright, and with the right hand work in fine soil among the roots.

Williams, of the Sol­ dier's Home Meets Sudden J)eath WAS HURLED AGAINST POST While Trying to Aid in Stopping a Team of Runaway Horses Williams Was Thrown Against Telephone Pole and Received Injuries Which Caused His Death Three Hours Later. While attempting to stop a team of runaway horses on West Main street, near Fourth, at about 9 o'clock this morning, (Robert B. Williams, a vet eran of the civil war, a.nd a member of th® soldiers' home, received injuries that caused his death three hours later at the home hospital. In trying to stop the frightened animals Will lams was thrown against a telephone pole, arid received severe Internal in juries. The team, which was owned bv George Gregory, started to run from near tha corner of Boone and Twelfth streets, while the driver was about to unload some coal. The team turned north cn Twelfth street, and then turned east on Main. Tried to Help Was Killed. The frightened horses tore east on Main street and when they had passed Fifth street, a rider on horseback, whose name could not be learned, seized one of the horse's bridle. The team kept on running, altho their speed was slackened, and when they neared the Lieiblg residence, Williams, who was on the sidewalk, ran Into the street and seized the other horse's head. The team swerved near to the curb, arid Williams was thrown against a. telephone pole. The team was stopped unhurt a short distance farther on. Hurried to Hospital. The police and patrol was summoned and the injured man was hurried to the home hospital. He was conscious when picked up, and he complained of severe pains near the heart, on the loft sld-s and in the abdominal region. When examined at the hospital it was found that three ribs had been broken, and that ho was badly hurt internally. He remained conscious after being taken to the hospital, but lapsed into unconsciousness about an hour before he died, at 12:15 o'clock. Had Lived Here and In Eldora. Williams had lived in both this city and Eldora. He entered the home No vember 22, 1907, and for si* years prior to that time this city had been his home.

The son Samuel was notified of the accident soon after it happened, and he arrived at the home orijy a few min utes after liis father died. Arrange ments for the funeral have not yet been made. BUCKNER ON AMUSEMENTS." Evangelist Takes Up Card Playing and Qancing. In a kindly but very forcible man ner, Dr. Buckner addressed a large au dience last night at the Methodist church on the amusement question. He used as a text, "By thelr fruits ye shall know them." Thi# is a law that ap plies to trees, rata and institutions. The real test of an amusement, as of a tree, is "what results does it pro duce? What is its fruit?" And those other words of Christ must also be ap plied to any institution or any amuse ment which fails to meet the test, "Any tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall bo hewn down, and cast into the lire." The real trouble in regard to the amusement question is not'with the people outside the church, for they quite generally concede that cer tain well-known forms of ajnusement are wrong. The main trouble is with professed Christians inside the church who indulge in those amusements, say ing they are all right. The speaker referred to three amuse ment trees which he said were planted everywhere. First, the card tree, which produces bad fruit in that it causes the squandering of a lot of time, is an encouragement to decep tion and trickery, provokes much bad temper, is a strong temptation to as sociate with bad people, is the greatest gambling school known, encourages the use of strong drink, tends to de stroy the home idea, and is a hinder ance to the church of Jesus Christ. The tree should be hewn down. In regard to the dance tree, the speaker said it was not a question of church law, but a question of fruit, and he showed that while many churches do not positively forbid danc ing among their members, yet practi cally every evangelical protestant church in the land had declared strongly against dancing. The fruit of the tree is bad physically, mentally and morally. It is not the music, nor the CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

The regular meeting of the Alar shalltown Women's club Was held Wednesday afternoon in the club par lors. Following routine business, the program, in charge of the history and Bible study department, Mrs. W. J. Hcald, chairman, opened with several most pleasing musical numbers. Miss Edna Sears, with Mr. Plowe, accompan ist, sang. "Thine," by Chamlnaile, and "A Bower I Will Build Thee," by Don fr'ielitz, while Mr. Carl Ulick gave the piano solos, "Polonaise lu Minor, Op. 40, No. 2.' 'by Chopin, and "O Thou Sublime Evening Star." from Tann hauser, by Wagner-Liszt. Both re sponded to hearty encores, Miss Sears with a song translated from the Ger man, by Graben-Hoffman, and Mr. Gilck with a selection of his own com position. The address of the afternoon, on "Amos," was given by Rev. .L». B.

Miller JURY'S FINDING A SURPRISE Penalty Under the Verdict is Fine of Not Less Than $300 or More Than $500 or Jail Sentence—Jury Reaches Verdict After Being Out Nineteen Hours, After being out for a little more than nineteen hourn, the jury in the crimi nal action against F. M. Miller, a local chiropractor charged with practicing medicine without having secured a state certificate, returned a verdict of guilty shortly after o'clock this morning. The verdict proved a sur prise to many who had /followed the case, and who had expected that the jury would disagree or acquit Miller. The offense Tor which Miller was in dicted and convicted is a misdemeanor punishable by a tine of not less than $300 or more than JliOU, or a.jail sen tence. Majority Stood For Conviction. From the. first ballot a majority of ine jurors stood for conviction. The first ballot was seven for conviction and live for acquittal. The last of the live were not won over until this morning. It is probable that a mo lion for a new trial will be filed, and should this motion be overruled, there is a possibility that the case may be carried to the supreme court. Instructions Take Aw^ay Defense. Judge Parker's instructions to the jury favored the state's case, in so tar as they removed from the jury's con sideration the evidence that hail been brought out by Miller's attorneys in the cross-examination of the state's witnesses regarding the benefits they had received as a result ot Millers treatment. The defense had also ar gued that the jury should bo the judge of both the law and the facts involved In the case, but Judge Parkers in structions pointed out distinctly the law governing the case, and instructed the Jury to follow tho Interpretation of the law as given in the instructions. The state's case was based princi pally on the allegation that Miller publically professed to cure and heal, and it supported this allegation with evidence in the ^orm of Miller's adver tising of various kinds.

"In 1896 at the age of 50 years, I collapsed from excessive coffee drink ing," writes a man in Mo. "For four years I shambled about with the aid of crutches or cane, most of the time un able to dress myself without help. "My feet were greatly swollen, my right arm was shrunken and twisted Inward, the Angers of my right hand were clenched and could not be extended except with great effort' and pain. Nothing seemed to give me more than temporary relief. "Now during all this time and for about 30 years previously, I drank daily an average of 6 cups of strong coffee—rarely missing a meal. "My wife at last took my case into her own hands and bought some Pos tum. She made It according to direc tions and I liked it fully as well as the best high-grade coffee. "Improvement set in at once. In about 6 months I began to work a lit tle, and In less than a year, I was very much better, improving rapidly from day to day. I am now in far better health than most men of my years and apparently growing stronger with ad vancing age. "I am busy every day at some kind of work and am able to keep up with the procession without a cane. The arm and hand that were once almost useless, now keep far ahead in rapidity of movement and beauty of penman ship." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mloh.

Hill LEAVES OFF PENALTY CLAUSE Suggestion Made That Would Permit Escape from Federal Courts—Inter state Commerce Commission Can Not Prevent Railroads from Increas ing Rates. Minneapolis. March 26.—Attorney General E. T. Young conferred late yesterday with his counsel in the rail road rate cases. T. I O'Brien ami It. A. Stone, as to tin.* effect of Judge Peck ham's decision and the course now to be followed. The first course will probably be to request a rehearing. No decision lias been made as to an extra session, but it is likely that the attorneys will recommend an extra session to the governor. T. I). O'Brirtii said yesterday: "If il is the penalty in the state law which has given the federal courts jurisdic tion over tile attorney general, then it might be a good idea for the railroad commission to draft another commod ity rate law with the penalty left out entirely, call the legislature together, and have the law passed. That would not give the railroads any excuse for going into the federal courts to antici pate the enforcement of the law." "I low could it be enforced without a penalty'.'" "Hy mandamus. If the court should find the rate reasonable and the law valid, it could order the railroads to comply, ami they would be in con tempt if they refused, of course, the roads would have the right of appeal to the supreme court, but tlie.v would have to acL thru the slate courts, and the sole issue would be whether the rate is reasonable. If the federal courts could enjoin a. state official from enforcing such a law. then we might as well surrender all the functions of government, federal, state and munici pal, to the federal courts." Think Rest of Law Stands. The attorney general seemed in clined to agree with the view of Mr. O'Brien, but the tinal decision has not been reached. .Mr. Young and "his associates con tend that the decision knocks out the penalty clause of the statutes, but not the other provisions. After reading the text of the decision, railroad counsel insist that the laws arc wholly invalid. C. W. Bunn of the Northern Pacific now takes that view. On this point the state Is likely to effort to test the validity of the laws themselves, are unconstitutional on their face, without regard to the ques tion of the insufficiency of those rates." Apparently this only makes void tin "provisions relating "to enforcement." the court at all. Governor Johnson said yesterday: "I will be sorry if an extra session is necessary, but I will have no hesitation in calling one if it is found that the legislature can do anything to help the I state's cause at this time. 1 am wait ing to hear what the attorney general and his counsel say, and 1 will not be governed by any other consideration presented by the fact that last Novem ber the German government let it be known that Dr. Hill would bo cordially received. Can't Stop Advance. Washington. March 26. "Should railroads operating in interstate com merce thru the state of Minnesota de cide to advance their rates on inter state business, passenger or freight, the interstate commerce commission has no power to prevent them." This is the statement made by Chair man Knapp of the commission yester day. Continuing, Judge Knapp said: "There is now no law under which the "commission can forbid a railroad from advancing rates at any time. All the roads are required to do is to file the usual notice with the commission Blood Humors Affect the whole system and cause most diseases and ailments.

PRICES RIGHT. 1VJ W that they will raise their rates on a certain day, not less than thirty days from the date of notice. The only way In which the commission can say whether these rates are too high Is upon the filing of a contest by some shipper or person Interested in the rate, afler it is put into effect. The coin plaint will be heard and the commis sion will then be in position to decide whether tin- a.dvanced rate Is too high. This applies only to interstate rates, however, as, for instance, between Minneapolis and Chicago. Involving transportation in part thru the state of Minnesota." LITTLE GIRL HONORED.
