The State Board of Health is going
out of its way to attack Osteopathy.
We do not believe it is the intention of
the state to pay for the publication of
the puerile bubbles sent out in the
Bulletin. We are not championing os-
teopathy, for we know nothing about
it. but we do object to the misuse of
the states money in the publication of
such stuff as the board of health is
sending out as official matter,

Koopman declares that there are no

the clubbing when the natives allow
them to get near enough. Captain Tay-

STRIKE AT MoNpAMlh.

In Tuesdays REVIEW we noted that
Emil Pump had gone to Mondamin to
work with the steel gang. We were
surprised to see him back again on
Thursday. He states that the men
have struck for higher wages. They
have been receiving 81 SO per day and
are striking for $3.50. Emil reports
that the men are pretty rough crowd
and are now spending their time
drinking and raising Cain, etc. He
said he did not dare to 60 to work for
fear of violence and that others were
In the same boat with him. 1t would
seem that $3.50 was pretty fair wages
but in these Mckinley times labor is
king and seems to be bound to get all
there is in it. Not long ago we met
some stone.masons on the train who
had been working on the water tank
here. They were returning to Des
Moines because the company refused
to pay them fifty cents an hour. They
said there was plenty of work in Des
Moines and they did not seem to care
because they were out of a lob. Will
our democratic friends please explain
why we are having such prosperous
times, why American laboring men are
receiving more today than ever before?
Why prices of farm produce are 40
COED? How the gold standard is OPP
pressing the people, why money is SO
cheapp How the adoption of bimetal-
ism at 16 to would make conditions
any more favorable? The REVIEW
will gladly publish letter from any
democrat answering these questions.
