Lifvj j£fcj«v£. !J ••••v' Progressives Claim Senatorial Contest is Won By Fully 1 25,000 Vot(!S\ ./u IfeTANDPAT CLAIMS ARE, LESS &n -tv 'Allison Supporters Put Tneir Majority at About 13,000—Both Sides Present Figures by Districts Cummins SpeJks in Cedar Rapids—Political New* of the State. .'«"•?"A -\V 'Special to Times-Republican, Des Moines. May 26.—There la no 'basls of comparison for the vote at the primaries one week hence, 'but this does not deter the leaders on both sides "from forecasting the results from their -point of view. The estimates are unt yersally more -pretentious on the Cum nilns side, tho both, of course, claim the victory. One standpatter who Is on their slate for state office is quoted in southern i- Iowa as saying that if the reservation -gives Allison what is expected he will have 5,000 majority over Cummins, i'fc Other leaders among the standpatters have' made estimates slightly more to 4he advantage of their cause but not approaching the figures of the oppo "WrjSltion the other way. pew of the Cummins men figure that he will have less than 25,000 majority. Many insist that there Is likely to be a Fv landslide and that he may have 50,000. The governor him self is understood I*-14--' to estimate his majority at not less than 26,000, thisi'f based on careful polls that jiave been taken tn both .progressive ™and standpat territory. An average estimate made by the rU*Cummins politicians of majorities by districts would! look something like .--'iC' First Second -Third Fourth Fifth Sixth -Seventh Cummins. Allison. 2,000 5 0 0 5°0 5,ooo I' 500 6,000 Eighth Ninth .i:',.: Tenth Eleventh.. Total '*v- 1,500 1,600 I... 12,000 8,000 ...31,500 6,000 Some of the progressives believe that the Fourth district majority W»1 g° elose to 6,000. Others estimate the fenth district at 15,000. Some would •^mt the Seventh at 5,000. Others would «*Oht'ode not more than 1,000 In the First and' nothing in the Second, and not to exceed 1,000 in the-Eighth. .A thi fd poll of the sou them counties, -token' ibecause the previous ones were thoujrht to be too sanguina, has led the v*pro^rps?ivpS to' 'believe that almost Anything 1s possible there. The fchlrdij -^jS?'1 is better than either of the pre vlous ones and 800 majority in the| county for Cummins, while the stand fcattefa claim it. vvlll give 500 for Alii-j -»brt without organization. While most of the standpat claims /^re conservative, some of them are re Warded as preposterous. For instance, a standpatter said a fevtf.'days ago that he knew a man who wanted to 'bet $25 that Allison would have more majority In Dubuque coun H'SIL '/y than Cummins would have In the ^?i"*"^ntlir*e Seventh district. fjsj in connection with the Dubuque ^county situation, It is Stated thatj ^democrats there expect to try to vote, for their distinguished fellow towns ^trlan. The republican vote, hqwever, *v 4s about 4,000.- A prominent local &f«tendipatter has stated that Cummins would have not less than 3,000 ma joMty in the Seventh district. On the •ajs?!* figures of ttie standpatters, therefore, aione, are the governor cojild not get to Cekceed 500 votes in Dubuque county. bjbjI However, -he ran about 300 ahead of liSsIy-the ticket there in 1906. One of the most prominent standpat jj|„ editors in southern Iowa, who was in the city last week, made an estimate *f the outcome of the "primary- giving 'Allison 13,000 majority, by districts as follows: ."First ISJS 'Second "Triird- Fourth fcWth |g| Sixth fp!^Seventh pI'k'-Blghth Ninth gtfttafir iWtfi ^Eleventh W t-r Totals Cummins. Allison. 6,000 4,000 4(000 1,000 1 4,00b 5,000! 2,000 5,000 4,000 •SO,000 5,000 '-V.1 18,000 31,000 The Cummins, people laugh' at this &%ort of Estimate even tho It gives Sen ^ii.tor Allison only- 13,000 majority and change of 6,500 majority would turn /the majority to Cummins. They say that 2,500 is a liberal estl ^tnate for the Allison majority in the First district they laugh at the claim i^that the Second will give the anti '•jCummins forces 4,000 expect the Third ,-to break about even say thait the Ipourth will give Cummins at least 5. '000 think that the Fifth will be a standoff do not believe that the Sixth •will give any such a majority as 5,000 is^r&instt Cuimmins consider the Sev enth district concession of 2,000 as ri diculous thing that they will cut down the Eighth to 2.000 or 2,550, and expect to get from 18.000 to 25 000 majority In the-Tenth and 'Eleventh. ,f INVADES&fNEMY'S COUNTRY. ttover^or Cummins Given Enthusiastic Welca^ie at Cedar Rapids. *3^' Special to Titles-Republican. Cedar Rapra*. -May 26.—Last night was an occasion for rejoicing on the part of progressive republicans, when Governor Cummins invaded the so called enemy's country, and was given I* most enthusiastic welcome. At least .1,600 people heard him. :ome estimat ing, the crowd at nearer 2,000, and his ^'speech was frequently punctuated with ehfeers of approVal. The progressives are saying thkt the demonstration jneans even a larger Cummins vote at the primaries than they had hoped for. Former Governor Larrabee and D. C. Chase were also on the program of 'speakers, but Governor Cummins' ad dress was the feature of,.the meeting. He made, a strong address—one that made him many new friends,, It .was free from bitterness, and there was no suggestion of personal abuse or dia tribe. Governor Cummins was the last speaker on the program, and it was about 10 o'clock when he began to talk, but he held his great audience closely until the very close of the meeting, which adjourned at about 11:20 o'clock. Governor Cummins' address was a review of the work of the legislature and of the progressive movement in Iowa. He declared that the whole rec ord was now up to the people for ap proval. As for himself and his sena torial candidacy, he declared that ho vyould abide by the will of the peoplo expressed at" the primaries, and he urged that members of the legislature also abide .by the result. The meeting was held in the great auditorium. The lower floor was filled and many seats in the galleries were occupied. Col. Charles A. Clark pre sided as chairman. WEATHER AFFECTS MEETING. Senator Dolliver Speaks to Restless Audience at Davenport. Special to Times-RepUblican. Davenport, May 26.—-Senator Dolli ver spoke on behalf of Senator Allison last night before an audience that half filled the Grand opera house. It was a restless audience that diminished in size rapidly during the evening, which was decidely sultry. Ex-County At torney W. M. Chamberlain presided over the meeting and the Hon. Joe R. Lane made an address in which he declared his allegiance tn the present contest to his old friend and father's friend, Senator Allison. Senator Dolliver dented his address largely to an attack upon Governor Cummins for the campaign that is be ing waged against the senior senator from Iowa, lie read Cummins' speech es in which the governor had laid his tribute at the feet of the Iowa delega tion for Its loyai support, of President Roosevelt and his policies and said that now Governor Cummins was de claring in the townships that he had to fight his battle here in Iowa without the friendly support of the Iowa dele gation. Senator Dolliver then pro ceeded to show his attitude tpward the governor by denouncing him as a "fak if imposing on the public opinion of the commonwealth.' He went oh to show, up what he called the bunko political game being played at present in the State-of Iowa. SAC COUNTY FOR CUMMINS^ Every Republican Newspaper Support ing Progressive Candidate*. Special to Times-Republican. Sac City, May 26.—H Sac county could decide the senatorial fight now on in Iowa, there would be no. ques tion as to the results, and that result .would-'be an easy victory for Cum mins. Every republican newspaper in the county Is supporting the progres sive candidates. Many of the standpat newspapers have claimed that demo cratic newspapers and democrats in general are tot Cummins Not so, down this way. The only democratic news paper In Sac county which is taking sides In this. campaign is the Lytton Star, an ardent Allison supporter. Al ways' a Strong Cummins qounty, Sac county will 'doubtless be PS (the banntir county in the coming primary, giving Cummins a larger majority of the Votes cist than any other county In the state. Some have predicted it go jng 1,500 majority for Cunrihiins. ALLOWS NO SUNDAY SALOON8. Mayor of Davenport Gives Police Force Strict Orders. Special to Times-Repi'bHoan.'

Special to Times-Republican. Waterloo, May 26.—The legislative committee of the Iowa State Dairy as sociation, composed of W. B. Barney, Hampton G. L. McKay, Ames W. E. Smith, Des Moines, and W. W. Marsh and E. R. Shoemaker, of Waterloo, held a meeting in the offices of the Fred L. Kimball company for the pur pose of making definite plans to bring the results of dairying in Iowa up to somewhere neir what they should be. Since the meeting a few week^ ago, at which time it was decided to make an effort to get an annual appropria tion from the state of $10,000, a vig orous campaign has been carried on and every candidate for the general assembly has been queried regarding his stand on the matter. Replies have been received from approximately 350 and not more than si* are unfavorable to the plan of the association. Conse quently, it is considered a certainty such an appropriation will be granted, and with the money district dairying meetings will be. held and several ca pable men will be employed to devote time among the farmers, teaching them how to test milk, feed and breed dairy cattle. The twelve or thirteen meetings that will be held each year with the assistance of the appropriation will, it is figured, make dairying in Iowa ex tremely profitable, where now in most localities it is carried on at a loss, be cause the people are not educated on the subject and feed many cows that do not pay for their ke^piiig. All the men on the legislative com mittee Were present, and the afternoon session is proving the appropriation subject will soon be dispensed with. PLANTS' 1,600 APPLE TREES.

Shaw, well known In Iowa, since, being relieved of the re sponsibilities of office, has finally dis 1 closed to the people of Iowa the -real situation in his relations to the Roose velt administration. The disclosure is important In view of the misrepresen tation it has been given in our fac tional political controversies. It will be remembered that after State Treasurer Herriott had thor oughly convicted Governor Shaw of subserviency to the* Northwestern railroad in the matter of railway as- of that campaign was the nomination of Cummins for governor'and the ab solute repudiation of Shaw by his party. Then it was that the president com mitted one of the strange inconsist encies for which his political career has been notable. Out of the debris of repudiation and disgust In wh^ch the ex-governor of Iowa had been left, the president rescued him with a sudden promotion to a seat In his cabinet. Fr^m thenceforth it was argued by the repudiated faction of railroad: pol iticians in Iowa that the selection of Shs.w was a guarantee of sympathy and endorsement f6r their school of politics by the president. In many a subsequent state cam paign the men of real Roosevelt poli cies in Iowa politics were compelled to overcome the prejudiced and false situations arising from the- Roosevelt cabinet minister's presence In Iowa opposing the purposes of the Cummins leadership. Our people were told that the secretary of the treasury came di rect from Roosevelt and that when he spoke in Iowa campaigns, he spoke the message of the president. Men who knew the game of polities knew that this was a lie, but it was one of those lies that are extremely difficult to nail down. Now the truth Is out. Shaw has left the cabinet, and if not repudiated, as in Iowa, at least sorely disappoint ing to the man who has selected him. In "Washington, as in Des Moines, he had proved himself the partisan friend of the interests, and lie left the cabi net lacking the confidence of the pres ident. He is out of office, and having had his ambitions turned down toy the leaders of the interests which he has served, he feels that he is out of poli tics. Free and unrestrained, he pro ceeds to speak his mind, and, as he speaks, the truth flashes forth for the information of the people of his state. He calls President Roosevelt a dema I gog. He censures his administration as destructive of (business confidence and commerce. Instead of the friend of the president, sent to Iowa to de liver the weight of the president's in fluence for the destruction of men like Cpmmins and the movement which l^e leads, the creature of Judge Hubbard presents the' Wall street criticism of Roosevelt, the unsafe, the unsound and the insincere. The people of Iowa A, have at last learned exactly for what Shaw stands in the politics of our day... STREET DUTY OF THE CHURCH. Rev. Merle N.

In a recent sermon to his congrega tion he made some rather strong statements in a plea for Christianity lo be applied in a practical way. Among other things, he said: "Mr. Carnegie—not a Christian man —has done more for the cause of uni versal peace than any. Metaodist Epis copal bishop. "In states other than those inhabited by Mormons, 'progressive' polygamy Is fostered by state divorce laws. The church could, If it would throw Its In fluence, secure a national divorce law. It's a disgrace in this Christian land, as we call it—it's a He, It's a disgrace to a pagan—a heathen country." Ho told his hearers that he formerly worked with his hands, ajd for that reason has a special feeling for the manual lnborer, closer to whom he be lieves the church should get. He ap pealed for consideration for men who work on freight trains, especially at night, where the peril of. life and llnib seems almost limitless, his adjuration on this score being especially strong, because he bore the vivid memory of a sight of the trials of these men whom he had seen at their dark and dangerous work when he came homo by train from another city late the previous night From this he enlarged into a gen eral plea for all poorly paid classes, child workers and others who suffer trom the greed of men for gain, and quoted the words of Amos in the scripture, warning that the righteous shall not be sold for riches nor the poor for a pair of shoes. There are a great many people who believe that the Christian denomina tions of the land have more to do than merely to hold services. It deems In dubitable that a great many avenues for the betterment of mankind, mor ally, physically and spiritually, will never show many footprints unless trod by Christian workers. The spirit of love, reinforced by a feeling bel ligerent toward any Indifferent condi tion that may surround man, seems to be a motive power that should come largely from the church and its peo ple, if not wholly from there. The feeling of sympathy and humane re gard for the welfare of both the upper and lower orders of creation would seem to spring from some higher au thority. As Rev. Smith says, the church would seem to have a broad road for its campaign in the next fifty years, as he sees it, at least, if It would exert its efforts to protect and uplift man kind in every way that can possibly benefit the present and future gener ations, whether it be by suppressing drunkenness, allaying the antipathy to child-bearing and rearing, or the pro tection of young womanhood. All of these reforms, he says, with much show of truth, should gain a great im petus by having put to the wheel the shoulder of the church, which the preacher believes it is the duty of the organization to put there.

When a man tells you at this season of the year that he's going to get up early In the morning to get rid of some of the long green, it don't mean ex travagance. It means the lawn mower for him. Four years ago, when the Blythe forces captured the Iowa delegation to the national convention, Blythe was made Iowa's member on the resolu tions committee, and he voted Iowa against the Roosevelt tariff plank, along with the railroad ridden states of Pennsylvania. California and Wyoming. This year Taft will be nominated, but there will be a fight over resolutions. Let's watch where Iowa stands. The only way a democrat can vote for republican candidates in the pri mary Is to call for a republican ballot and thus lose his opportunity to vote for the candidates of his own party. If he does this he will be recorded on the books aa a republican, and in fu- wlien we say It ture primaries he can never vote in |2^500 a year.

"The fellows Avho voted no light in the Fourth ward are getting all that's coming to them," says the Boone In dependent, which further contributes on tho same -su'bjec.t tho following lines: "The Fooirfh ward man without a light •Goes iwading thru the mud, His feet go -up and he conncs down With dull and sickening thud." It Is noted (by ,the Brooklyn Chron icle that "the same men who are -now 'trying so hard to -prove that Oum-mlns and his friends deserve no credit for reform legislation were not many months ago trying -very hard to pre vent Cummins and his friends from enacting any reform leglsjation. It is the same old crowd.", _____ The Vinton (Eagle says: "The weath er has moderated and the corn plant ing is .being push-ed. There will be a largo increase of corn land acreage this season and if 'the crop Is good there will be enough to supply the county and to spare." The Waterloo Reporter says: "Geor gia Is -having a hot time In a political campaign. The new prohibitory law Is the -Issue, and the primary on June 4 will determine whether it will be tried longer or repealed. There is much dissatisfaction with the law, and the -campaign pro and con is said to ,be the most exciting experienced since the civil war. The Iowa law is better than Georgia, tho there Is dissatisfac-. tlon here, also, with its workings." Looker-On In Iowa Emmetsburg, May 26.—It gives one an idea of the large number of auto mobiles now in use in Iowa, to find in this town two garages, one owning six machines and the other three, that are doing a good livery business. Whl-le we have adopted the French- "garage" for the place, we still Yankeeize the busi ness as "livery." One of these garages turned away two seven dollar jobs the afternoon the writer was in town. It would seem that this automobile bus iness would drive out the regular horse livery stable, but there are now five livery stables here, -all apparently "making it pay." But for "the long drive" the automobile has a big advan tage, especially when two or three or more want to make a trip at the same time. Three men got off the evening train on the C., R. I. P., which only runs to Estherville now, and hired an auto to go across country to Lake Park, this at a price but little more than the car fare on the steam cars, and much less if an all night hotel bill at Estherville was figured in the cost of getting from Estherville to Lake Park. The writer is -far enough away to tell the story of why one congressman is not anxious to go back to Washing ton. It's simply money or rather the lack of it. At the advanced pay It would seem as tho a frugal Towan could live In Washington on the money Un cle' Snm pays him. So he can if he li\-p« at a cheap boarding house at $20 to $25 per week, but if he does live there, and in that way. he's a board ing house congressman with all the term implies. He amounts to as much living in that manner as an employe in a manufacturing town does at the company's boarding house. When it comes to having his family with him it's broader than it is long. And food, lodging and elothr-s are the least of his troubles. Every visitor from Iowa calls on pime congress man. Every visitor has to be entertained -more or less. One congress-man took a friend to lunch with hiim in a 'first class restaurant In Washington. It was a very simple af fair. The wine list was not even looked at. The waiter brought him a check for the two, $S.6-5. Theater tickets cost money si do automobiles, for sright-seein-g.

As a rule the college man is underpaid for the work he does. Many students graduate into positions that pay more than the sal aries of the teachers who prepared them." jo* "By" way of anticipating 'the' gossip of the Washington correspondents, it may toe said that one member of.Taft's cabinet is q-uite likely to ibe Jaimes Wilson of Towa," in the opinion of the Daven-port Times. 'r'- .V.VmV The Steamboat Rock Pilot has the foilowing: "A city lass who was vis iting her -uncle on a farm saw all the cows lying dotwn quietly chewing their cuds and she said: 'Uncle, do you 'have to buy chewing gum for all those cows?'

The little maid eyed it carefully and was satisfied." vw 'f two terms In Washington and barely "broke even." And up this way, (not .Here), comes to the writer a story that is almost pathetic. A fa.rimy's daughter only n. few years ago, married a young man and they went Into the hotel busl For over thirty years, she ran the ho tel business, while he sat around in the office. She worked sixteen hours a day, seven days in the week, ?fi5 days In a year, for thirty years, and then died. She raised a family in the meantime. She was cook, rlia'inher nial and snubbed out the office. She had only one nice dress, and seldom wore It. -She never went to church or belonged to any clubs or societies. She never had a holiday or an hour of idle ness. There was always something to do. Her husband, as the years rolled on, Ibecwme "a booze lighter." Some times, she was cook, chambermaid and office clerk for weeks,-while he was on a. spree. She In later years neglected her personal appearance and one cal ico dress from 5 in the morning till 10 at night, was enough. She got beyond -caring for Jewelry, collars, or even ar ranging her hair tidily. She was tired all of the time, didn't go to see tho neighbors, and they neglected her. And then came the happy release. We have all heard of the woman that wished she could die .and go to heaven and "do nothing for ever and ever." This one Is the woman we have read about. MURPHY'S STATEMENT. Editor Marshalltown Times-Republi can: Attached herewith, ..under the heading "Some Specific Kxtraivagance." is an editorial from your paper, which Is so misleading In Its character, and as It involves me personally, I feel constrained to reply to It. What you undertake to say involves some official -duty on the part of the execu tive council or some other state offi cials, and I thought it strange that an executive council composed of such men as Governor A. B. Cummins, Sec retary of State W. C. Hayvvard, Aud itor of State, 13. F. Carroll, and Treas urer of State W. W. Morrow, would commit an illegal act Involving the destruction of surplusage or useless ipubl-lc documents, whether they were •law books or minor public documents. So I wrpte to the secretary of the ex ecutive council for an explanation of the Times-Republican editorial, whose answer, which explains -the whole mat ter, .1 herewith attach. It exonerates not only 'the executive council, which I thought it would, but also Mr. Trew In, memlber otf the code commission, and imyself as state printer. It hardly seems possible that you had an ^Iterlor motive in connecting (Mr. Trewin and myself with the matter, and yet one can hardly read the editorial without the thought that there was mischief in tended for the reason that when you said: "The men guilty of ithis piece of extravagance are now '.ending aid to the charge of a depleted treasury, James 'H. Treiwin, then a member of the legislature, was the author of the (bill under| which tho code supplement ,was printed, and was chairman of the commission which compiled it. Trewin Is now a candidate for congress from ithe -Fifth district. Bernard Murphy, of Vinton, a close friend of Trewin, was public printer at the time, and pre sumably received the profits, along with Howard Tedford, then state 'bind er. Mr. (Murphy is a -candidate for lieu tenant-governor." What would yoxir readers think on reading such a statement made in all seriousness and on the editorial page of your paper. They would think, otf course, that Trewin and .Murphy had been engaged in a game of "grab" from •the state treasury. Mr. Davison ex plains in .his letter that the job was not given to Mr. Murphy as sitate printer, but under competitive bids, and it also shows you that the print ing, including the electrotypes, was .254-5 per 'book. Mr. Murphy's exact price was 23 cents. We wish to say here thait the price -given by Mr. Mur phy was based on -the state price of 48 cents -per .th9usand ems for composi tion and the state price for press work. We gave the price open to the code commission and Mr. Claude Porter, a member of the commission, asked us if we objected if the commission could get a lower price and we told him we had no objection. He and Jud Wel iiver tried to get a lower bid and did noit come within 33 1-3 per cent of the state -price. "The pulbllc printer charged aibout what he could, looked innocent and pocketed the proceeds." That don't sound nice, does it? and yet it is in the above quoted editorial. The fact is the "puiblic printer" could not -make any charge. The statutes fix every price and the whole work is measured by the secretary of state. We believe that Sec retary of State Martin, who was sec retary of state during the whole .time Mr. Murphy held office, followed the law closely, and -that no newspaper can impugn any of his work. This is submitted to you for your consideration with the expectancy that it will appear as prominently in your •paper as did .the editorial. It is only a short time until the primary election and it may .be in time to correct any false impression made by the editorial. I do not think you would intentionally Injure either Mr. Trewin or myself. Respectiful'ly submitted, B. MURPHY. Des Moines, la., May 23, 1908. Hon. Bernard Murphy, Vinton, Iowa. Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry, relative to the code supplement issued in 1902, I would state that by the enactment of Chapter 194, Acts of the Twenty-ninth general assembly the legislature di rected the publication of an edition of fifteen thousand copies of the code sup plement as required tinder the pro visions of t'ne code of 1S97. That the publication of the sime was made un der the provisions of that statute and Was by virtue of contracts made by the code supplement committee, the state printer and state binder having nothing whatever .to do with the pub lication as state printer and state binder the work being let upon com petitive bids. As required by the code the Thirty-second general assembly made a similar provision for the Is sue of code supplement of 1907 which contains the material printed in the code supplement of 1902 and the acts of the Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Thirty second general assemblies, which ar rangement is determined by the statute. That under date of February 6, 1908. secretary of state, W. C. Hay ward, submitted to the governor and the executive council a report showing the JiACK £tpon* I '//jWT, number of session laws, codes and code supplements on hand, the number In his judgment required for future use and the number that are re quired for future use. This re port was made under the pro visions of the last sentence of section 4, chapter 5, acts of the Thirtieth gen eral assembly, altho not made at the date stated In said statute. That said report was submitted to the commit tee named In section 2, chapter 6, acts of the Thirtieth general assembly, be ing the state librarian, curator of the law library and historical department, to determine what part of said list, if any, are not required for public use. Said committee reported In writing un der date of February 27, approving of the disposition of three thousand, four hundred and' forty-three (3,443) code supplements of 1902 and ordering the preserving of one thousand, five hun dred (1,500) copies of the same. After removing the covers to be used by the bindery at the Anamosa reformatory by the state board of control, the cus todian disposed of the paper in said code supplements to the best bidder. The total expenditures made on ac count of the Code Supplement, of 1902 amounted to $1.44 per volume for the edition of 15,000 copies. This Includes $S6.80 ior box material for shipping the books to the counties and also Code paper not used!, since used for session laws, to the amount of about $500. The items expended are for .pa per (including the paper not used), per volume .1404 for annotating, .12 for editing, .10 for printing. Including electro plates, .2545 miscellaneous ex pense, .0723 for binding, .75, and for end sheets, .0075. The state has dis posed of approximately 10,000 copies at" $2 per volume, including those re quired to be delivered to public offi cers}. The total net Investment to the state, therefore, is- aibcut one thousand, six hundred ($1,600) dollars less what may yet be received from the 1,500 copies on hand, and code paper $500, and old paper sold, practically noth ing. Respectfully yours, WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? ,fL A. H. DAVISON, Sec'y. [Our friend, the candidate, Is very adroit. The T.-R. did not criticize any body, executive council or others, for destroying the books. If the books were not needed, selling them to the junk man was good policy. All the T.-R. had In mind was that the code commission had made an expensive mistake in printing iso many useless copies. We knew that Trewin Was the code commission, and "presumed" that Mr. Murphy did the printing. In this, it seems, we were entirely cor rect, altho Murphy shows that he got the work as a competitive bidder, and not as a state official. Mr. Trewin's and Mr. Murphy's faction in the party is making many general charges of ex travagance, and it occurred that this specific one ought to arrest their at tention, and it has. Not subscribing to the charge that the state has been extravagantly managed, the T.-R. is not disposed to magnify this incident. It came up and was merely mentioned.

One may say what he pleases but there is nothing that bespeaks more for a town and Its standing than tho appearance of the advertising columns of a newspaper. A home paper well patronized will act as a sort of mirror for the town in which a whole com munity can look and see what the town has to offer and in no other way can this reflection be shown up so fully. A newspaper reports as near all the happenings of a town- each week as possible. The merchants make known in their ads what they have to offer In their line of business and all is a message to one and all. There is only one way to size up a town as a business center and that is •by the appearance of the paper of that town. If it is well patronized the town will toe. CUMMINS ON REGULATION. (Fonda Times.) Senator Dolllver said he would give $1,000 for the production of a word from Governor Cummins prior to the fall of 1904 relative to railroad regu lation. Governor Cummins said at Minneapolis on May 1, 1902: "I do not wonder that a man like Morgan with a few associates desired to control all the transportation facilities of the United States as well as the seas that wash the shores of the republic. I under stand perfectly that the problem before us is a grave one but I am not dis mayed, because we are in the habit of meeting grave problems. Many reme dies have been proposed and It is, I hope, with proper humility that I sug gest first that no corporation whether industrial or otherwise, should be per mitted to Issue stock unless paid for in money, at its par value." ?AN EXAMPLE 'OF REFORM.' (Davenport Times.) The system used toy the Civic Fed eration to get information against the saloons of Davenport was revealed in the trial of a case in the district court yesterday afternoon. Three young men, one claiming to be only 17 years old, have been paid $3 a day for sev eral weeks to watch the saloon's, and have been provided with expense mon ey so that they could buy drinks. The witnesses also admit that they have been taking women with them, and "have bought whisky for -the women. Here we have, then, representative citizens of Davenport, posing to be re formers, hiring men to do things that they -themselves would not do—and all in the name of decency and reform. It seems to establish the theory that f- To the wdman who bakes, Royal is the greatest of time and labor savers. Makes home baking easy, a pleasure and a profit.

If some member of the Civic Federation had discovered these three young men in some tit NATURE thei places and had summoned th^tQ as witnesses, it would have been smj en tirely different proposition, butias it stands the federation is put in the po sition of hiring men to do things that neither its president nor any of its members would do. TOO SLOW FOR THEM, ji--0-. (Register and Leader.) We believe we should In the sen ator's place hereafter omit the claim that congress was ahead of Governor Cummins In the matter of railroad legislation. Senator Allison and (Sen ator Dolllver rendered good service after they got at it. But The Register and Leader can remember distinctly that It was a little impatient it|plf at the slowness with which they ^t at It. Governor Cummins had been agl^ tatlng for years, and the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association bad. been organized for no other purpose long before the United States senators from Iowa, or from anywhere else for that matter awoke to the faot that the prairies were in flames and that they had better backfire a little and escape the conflagration. Governor Cummins will have no difficulty in winning back that thou sand dollars. AMI wowm WW Nature and woman's work tiom* bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world nas ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied tipon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mttigatft suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce root* and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most drilled physicians who have s^ent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of tbe field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for theirpp culiar ills, more potent and efflcto cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's ^Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515N.C. SW Louisiana, Mo., Writes: Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffer h£ with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help.1 No toague can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I-folldwed it, and can truly say thM Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering,. women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. See that smile. You always get that when you use an Eastman Kodak.
