BY vote Of 50 to 40, the lower
branch Of the legislature, on We'd
nesday, killed the bill that provided
for the submission Of a prohibition
amendment to the constitution.
The Alliance members favored the
measure, the Democrats opposed it
solidly, and the Republicans were
divided-a majority of them voting
with the Alliance Numbers. There
will be no temperance legislation
enacted by the present legislature.

A Simple Truth.

The simple truth is that prohibi-
ton prohibits where the sentiment
Of the people is strong enough to
support it. The same thing would
be true il there were no law on the
subject. On the other hand saloons
exist in populous centers as they
always have and always will. As
they cannot be eradicated the only
reasonable way to deal with the
question is by high license law.
This is the experience Of the world
for centuries, and human nature has
not been materially changed in the
meanwhile. There are no signs that
the future will establish any more
changes in the habits and customs of
society than the past has done. -Dav
export Democrat.

OUR CORN CRIB.
Tariff is tax.

Tariff is tax.
Education only means emancipa.
ton
Money is a creation OF law.
The usurer is q king in America.
The Farmers Alliance is no respec-
tor of parties.
The work that one loves to do
never becomes to him drndgery.
The way to emancipate the peo-
pie is to emancipate industry.
The people are educating them
selves and they are watching the
politicians.
Protection means enriching the
few and impoverishing the many.
The greatest element in christian
life and character is love for humani-
ty.
It is no trouble for the bird to fly
as soon as his wings are fledged for
fight.
When the people are sufficiently
educated, then legislation is o natural
sequence.
Class laws bring poverty to the
masses; poverty breeds intemperance;
intemperance begets crime.
All special privileges that have
built up monopolies, trusts and
Colossal fortunes must go.
Help your child to follow in the
line of his own laudable inclinations
wherever they may lead him-then
he will be success.
Educate the people to the true
causes that are enslaving tn EN-, and
the class laws that manacle them will
become in their hands as ropes oil

1t is Christ-iike to be on the side oil
the weak who are in the right against
the mighty combinations who are in
the wrong.
Words Of wisdom and of logic flow

Charles City. Iowa.
DEAR SIR Thinking that perhaps some OF
nv friends would like to know how am gettlng
along and what think OF Dr. Crider and OF his
skillin curing chronic diseases. can say that
DR.. Orders skill In curing chronic diseases Is
most remarkable. lie Is the best posted man In
the profession that ever met, and as to my
self. am getting along first rate, feel better
and stronger than have for years, and can
say In truth that DR.. Cider Is q physician OF
great skill and long years OF experience in pri-
yate and hospital practice. His treatment In
all manner OF chronic and nervous diseases and
diseases OF catarrh, throat and lungs, are en-
tirely new and bora OF himself from years OF
practical experience and In fact Is unlike any
other treatments ever saw before. He uses
many remedies that Is unbeknown to the gen.
eral practitioner, and II there are any OF my
friends who have failed to find cure In their
family physician, would advise them to con-
suit the Doctor. He can do you good, be Is o
dead shot cure on catarrh and many other
chronic diseases. Believing as I do. that he
fully understands his business In every particu
lar, say when YOU call him catarrh doctor,
you call him by the right name, for he knows
Just how TO cure 1t. As to the treatment OF dis
eases OF women, he has no superior. I know OF
one woman in the house whom he has cured OF
q cancer In the womb and she has taken the
train home to-day. While | am not running
against any doctor, or for any doctor, I believe
1t my duty to give a man credit for what he Is
worth, and can say that DR.. Order is all that
he claims to be.
In conclusion will say. Ottumwa Is city OF
| about 20 900 inhabitants electrical street rail.
| ways, electric lights and steam heaters, fine
| water works and water power, manufactures
OF almost any description, large pork packing
establishment, five artesian wells belching

Hoping that you will see ut to give this a
place in your paper, remain,
Very Respectfully Yours.
