POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The Republicans in Iowa seem TO nave
avoided the pitfalls laid for them ana
to have adopted platform totally at
variance with the desires of the poiiti-
clans who, 1t was said, would dominate
the convention. 1T had been stated fcr
weeks before the convention that COM
bination Of Senators, congressman and
railway corporations had been organized
to control the convention. If such CON-
bne was formed never did d combine ride
to harder fail than at Cedar Rapids
last week. The choice of the combina'
tion for governor was defeated by an
overwhelming vote and the man WHO re-
ceIved the open and avowed support OF
the railroads for the supreme bench was
repudiatcd by the convention by an en-
phatic vote. 4
Republicans In Washington profess TO
he highly satisfied with the result and
predict the usual Republican majority In
Iowa this fall The platform is claimed
to be strong document, but, singularly
enough, there is no reference To Cuba.
The Temple amendment formed bone OF

thr Iowa legislature general revision
and codification of the session laws or the

commission that had done the work. When
the railroad part of the work came before
the house, Mr.. Temple proposed provision
intending TO break up and forever pro-
hibit "a system of railway insurance oper-
ated ou the c. L & @. road. The amend-
Inent passed the house but failed iii the SEN
ate. The latter body refused TO accept it
in any form, and rather than jeopardize the
whole revision, the house finally yielded,
and rercded from its amendment. The
friends of the measure worked to make 1t
an issue before the people, and see that
no political party nominate as candidate
for governor a man who would veto such
a bill If passed. The fight was won along
that line.

For tile third time in the history OF
Ohio the Republican editors have been called
into conference for the purpose OF discussing g
the best methods by which the interests Of
tie party might be suhserved. Two years
ago such a meeting was held ana the
second convened il Canton last summer

eess gathering was for the purpose Of
securing unanjmity of action on the part
OF the Republican press of Ohio on queS-

One OF the things deter mined upon was
that the Republican press should aid the

in securing fair wages, the consensus "
opinion being that the conditions were
such that the inen were entitled 70 an adj

FREEDOM OF THE WAIST.
Women of America Lack n Good
Deal of Getting 1t.

DeaE OF Getting 1t.
''The Human Form In Art and Fashion"
was the subject of an interesting address
delivered by Miss Louise E. Hollister, state
secretary of the w. C. T. u, at the Olivet
Baptist church, yesterday afternoon.
Miss Hollister had devoted several years
to the study of anatomy and physical cul-
ture, and her remarks were very instructive.
She said in part: when in Paris some
years ago I saw the beautiful statue Venus
de Milo and it made lasting impression
upon my mind The sculptor had in mind
the proportions of the perfect feminine body.
l wish every woman might take it as q
model. The French women of fashion look
upon the beautiful figure as a creation of
art, and do not realize that it is intended
to show what the female body should be-
They and the American women, too. would
be perfectly Mortified If they were obliged
to aspire to the proportions of the waist of
the beautiful Venus. If we can make our
women think that men look upon a small
waist as deformity and as unwise the girls
would all have big waists in short time.
THE corset makers of today the max
ers of the female form, but we will have to
present this matter in the light of beauty
rather than in the light of healthfulness if
we accomplish anything. The beauty of a
small waist, however, is by far the least
important, Few there are who have any
idea of the tremendous amount of damage
caused by the compressed waist. There is
great and underlying necessity for having
freedom Of the waist. There are normal
positions for the vital organs, but few wom-
en- there are whose organs are in the right
place.
''The correct shape of the lungs is that
of an inverted letter " the apex being
in the chest, but with corset wearers, the
reverse is true. Let me give you this ad-
vice: When the dressmaker fits your dress,
take full, long BREATH and do not let
vinced that the present style of dress Is
more to blame than almost anything else for
the i'll health of women. If you would take
the average man and dress him as woman
dresses and let him go about under woman 8
programme for one day, he would be the
worst used-up specimen at night that you
could find. They talk about the weaker sex.
Nature intended that woman should be the
stronger. Women can charge two-thirds of
their ills and sufferings to their manner Of
Dress"

INSURANCE DECISION.
Demurrer in a Milwaukee Assess
ment Case Sustained.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. IA decision Of
cons derable interest to insurance men was
handed down by Judge Sutherland, in the
superior court in the suit of the city against
the Pfister & Vogel Leather company, sus-
tanning the demurrer of the defendants to the
complaint. This is the suit that the city
brought to recover 2 per cent assessment
upon insurance policies carried by the leather
company with insurance companies not do
ing business in the state. The insurance
patrol is supported by means of the assess
ment levied upon the insurance companies
The Pfister & Vogel company carries most
of it's insurance in companies with head
quarters in Chicago and there is therefore no
contr button toward the fire protection fund
Judge Sutherland did not recite the conclus-
ions which led him to sustain the demurrer.
There will be an appeal to the supreme court.

calling on the guests to prepare TO
