DRINKING AMONG WOMEN
Doctors Sweeping Conclusion Drawn
 From Marrow Premises.

chicago Tribune.
 A New York doctor says that women ''the. country over" are drinking more and more every day. while men are drinking less. The statement as to men Is unQuestionably correct, especially if limited to the more intelligent. better members of the community. It is quite true, as this New York doctor says, that drinking in business hours. so common once. is not viewed with favor now, and that even the moderate drink CT Is regarded as undesirable by the business world. Among many classes of men where excessive drinking was the rule fifty years ago, extreme moderation
 Is 1t really the case. however, that there is such an increase of drinking among women the country over" as to be an awful or vital danger to the weIl-beng of the .nation?" It is diff cult to believe that women, who have lear2ed from sorruwful experience the misery that the drink habit among men can cause. should themselves take to drinking at a time when men are be- ginning to he more. moderate in their use of linuor.
 This is not the only alarming state ment which has been made of late con corning American women. It has been sald that they are 9scoming, "all over the country the slaves of opium. There IS no reason to believe in the truth of either statement, especially when so broadly made as to cover the entire United States There are now. as there have been in the past. women who drink too much. That there Is an increased number of these is not impossible, in V;ew of the large increase in the pop ulatton. Whether the percentage has Increased Is quite another matter. It Is not impossible, also, that the feeling which so many American women once had that it was sinful to drink glass of wine ar beer has lost somewhat of It's strength, but it would not follow try. are on the eve of becoming drunk ards.
 Some doctors are emotional and have not the scientific spirit. They draw sweeping conclusions from exceedingly narrow premises. It is altogether pos sible that the New York doctor who has been referred to has met in his practice or late with an unusual number of drink Ing women and has jumped at the con- cIusion that women "all over the coun- try are beginning to drink too much.

How She Helped Herself.
The Academy,


 The woman sat with her back to the wall, in the little French restaurant Tear Piccadilly, and the man faced her on the opposite side of the table. They were French; they were obviously man and wife; and they had the appearance of being modestly prosperous. Yet there must have been some need of small economies. for. with the meal that was just ended they had divided between them half bottle Of ordinaire at six pence. The wSman'S glass was empty. the mans half full; and so they sat. not ready t. go vet, having no appar- talk: they seemed to be considerably bored. The waiting at the little res taurant Is as bad as the food Is good; two men cannot dc the work of i've. however willing they may be. l was pa tlently expecting the arrival of my Ash, ana. for lack of a better occupation. l watched these two who interested enc another so little Chained to the leg of the ta ble on the right of the man was a rier It had been quiet to begin with. but at last 1t became querulous and at tracted my attention. Looking at the woman again. l observed a curious change in her eXpression: 1t appeared that she had somehow recovered her in terest in life. She said something to the man, who promptly bent down and patted the dog, as if to quiet 1t. She instantly took his glass. emptied the contents into her own, and drank the wine at a gulp. When the man looked the wall. absent-minded. utterly bored.

IN sHIPBUILDING.
Ivery Working Yard in the Coun ' try Crowded With Orders

chicago Tribune.
 dustry in the United States is one of the notable features of the revival of prosperity which began during the. late President Mckinlcy's first administra- ton. The industry has received its great impetus without subsidy, and the demand for ships is not fostered by the hope that Congress may, in the near future. vote a subsidy bill.
 American capital is being invested in ships. The yards at Newport News, Bath, Camden, Quincy. Wilmington, Bal timore and other industrial centres are crowded with vessels in course Of con structon. These vessels range in size from the river tug to the great ocean freight lin ars, from pleasure yacht to seven-masted steel schooner, from 6 torpedo boat to the heaviest battleship.
 Practically every shipyard in the coln- try has been enlarged in the last two years. and nearly every one of them is preparing to still further increase its facilities.
 At Newport News $14000.Oo0 is invested and 1000 men are employed. At one time this year vessels with an aggre- struction. to cost $2S, S,3540OO.
 At Bath, Me, vessels to cost more than SS5o,OOo. Twenty-six merchant ships have already been launched this year and the yards are full.
 Baltimore has just finished two At iantic pa ssenger liners to ply between London and New York each being 6t feet long.
 Camden. N J.. is building four freight steamers, each of 5000 tons, and within a month keels will be laid for two steamers, each 69) feet long. each oi IsOOO tons burden. Another yard al Camden has four ocean steamers 6ON tons each on the ways, and contract for four more.
 At New London the great freigh steamers for the Pacific and Orienta trade are being built by James J. Hill of the Great NortA"rn
 Wilmington, Del, has already com pIeted eight steamers this year and niu' more are on the ways. From every point comes the assurance that the industry will be greater mex year than this. With the exception o two points, where local strikes have in 'Crfered, all yards are working ful time

FAILURE TO CORNER CORN.

The attempt to corner corn in Old
Mexico was conspicuous failure. A
company composed principally of
American spectators had the corn
purchased all right and began to raise
the prices but their movements were
closely watched by President Diaz.
Corn is the main article of food with
the poorer classes of Mexico and dear
corn means to them starvation. The
President Immediately by proclama-
ton took off the duties on corn which
made the article cheap at the Next
can sea ports. He then recommended
to congress to buy corn at Vera Cruz
and other sea ports, transport it by rail
to the interior and sell it at cost to
the people. The Mexican government
has a contract with the railroads by
which they are compelled to transport
government stores at very low rate;
corn is government stores, and
through the wisdom of President
Diaz, the problem of cheap corn in the
interior was solved.

gal soundness of the practice of reci-
procity as demonstrated by the con-
situations and legal decisions. He en-
tered also into the history of recipro-
city and anticipated the practical re-
suits to be expected from the pending
treaties before the senate and the
special benefits to be realized by each
section of the United States. Mr..
Kasson is firm and steadfast believer
in the primary principles of protection
and has advocated such tariffs as gave
practical benefits in that direction. He
is also in favor of such special treat
les as will give benefits to the United
States that cannot be acquired under
general laws. This is in fact all that
there is in reciprocity. 1t proposes to
go beyond where protection cannot
reach and to gather in the benefits that
would otherwise be lost This is the
Mckinley plan. 1t is also the policy
of the new administration and Mr.. Kas-
son, who is an old time republican,
is at the front in advocating the doc
trine that was SO forcibly put forward
by Mr.. Blaine and other great repub-
lican leaders.

Importance of Ottumwa and Wapello

THE EXECUTION OF czoLeosz.

Whether the punishment of crime is
for the purpose of effecting the re-
venge of society upon the criminal for
his wrong doing, or whether it be for
the purpose of affording such an ex-
ample Of penalty and suffering as will
deter others from assaying like evil
deeds, the blind Goddess Justice has
weighed Czolgosz in her scales, has
found him wanting in moral elements
justifying his living among men, and
through the electric chair in Auburn
prison this morning the assassin of
the beloved President Mckinley was
removed from this earth and sent to
the hosts of Satan, there to writhe
through all ages to come in the agony
of that worst of all human suffering
comprised in guilty conscience.
What a contrast is afforded by COM
parison of the meeting of death by the
victim and by his assassin! What
vast superiority of manly and Chris
titan spirit was shown by William Nc

THE COUNTY TICKET.

When the voter of Wapello county
steps up to the polls next Tuesday and
silently signifies his choice Of candi-
dates to direct the affairs of the coun-
ty and Of the state, he will find on the
republican ticket list of representa-
tive Wapello county men who stand
for the best principles and are in them
selves men of the highest standing.
Beginning with Capt. S. H. Harper
and A. w. Buchanan who heads the
legislative ticket, down to G. r. AL
len, who comes at the foot of the
county ticket, the people have candi-
dates for public service upon whom
the mantle of Office can find no better
men to fall. The party that honored
them with its selection have chosen
wisely. The men are fitting represen-
tatives of that party.
1t is one of the best tickets that has
graced republican politics in Wapello
county. Every candidate is man OF
sterling worth whose ability is on a
par with his high standing in the COM
munity.
Vote the ticket Tuesday. Vote it
straight and thereby make no mistake.

THE NEW OFFICIAL LIFE.

President Roosevelt is not to be de-
prived of his usual abundant outdoor
exercise Notwithstanding the increas-
ed duties devolving upon him as chief
of the republic. In order to effect
this, he has introduced celebrity in the
public service so far as it can be ap-
piled to his own Office. He does not
waste time in ceremony nor in red
tape performances. Those who come
in contact with him may grumble a
little at the new system and perhaps
believe they are snubbed but Roose-
velt's quick action is but a recognition
of the fact that there are over seventy
millions of people waiting on his move
ments and if he gets enough time for
outdoor exert Sc, it is absolutely ne
cessary that y--ings as well as people
who come BEIGE him, must move in
accord with his determination to en-
JOY life and see as much of outdoors
as any other public officer.
The Presidents of the past have
been tied down to conservatism and
suffered from dyspepsia and other
complaints incident to strictly Sc
dentary life. 1t is evident that Mr..
Roosevelt will break that rule and in
troduce a better way of living. His
example will be a good one for the
country to follow; more than half OF
the diseases that affiict public officers
and business men can be attributed to
lack of proper exercises. These men
require some of that strenuous life
of which the President is a notable
exemplar.

AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN.

Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been little excitement aroused by
the discussion of the issues of the pres
emit campaign, the campaign itself is
an exceedingly important one Es-
pecially is this true with reference to
the election of members to the legis-
Iature. The legislature which will
meet at Des Moines in January next,
has before it the important duty Of
electing two United States senators.
Wapello county wants to be represent
ed in that vote by state senator and
a member Of the house, who will cast
their ballot for VIM. B. Allison and j,
p. Dolliver. Mr.. Allison's long SER
vice in congress has developed on his
part craftsmanship of the highest char
acter and has been of inestimable value
to the nation. Mr.. Allison's re-elec-
ton to the United States senate from
Iowa, should not be called in question
by any close majority in the state leg
islature. Let the vote for him be just
as large as possible and let Wapello
county honor herself by casting two of
these votes.
Another exceedingly important mat
ter that will come before the next leg
islature, is the re-districting of the
state both for congressional and leg
islative purposes. Wapello county has
direct personal interest in this mat
ter and it is of the utmost Importance
that she should be Represented in both
branches of the legislature by members
who are in accord with the dominant
party in this state. With Captain S
RI. Harper in the senate and Hon. A.
nv. Buchanan in the house, every resi-
dent Of this county will have a guagan

suggestive as showing the relations Of
prohibitionists to the democracy. He
says that his only chance for success
is in the prohibitionists pulling away
votes from the republicans. THE
prohibitionists have been telling me-
he says, that they're going to poll a
big vote. Conservative men put their
vote at $4,000, and some of them say
$4,000. Where is this vote coming
from? Why, from the republicans.
have seen some democratic prohibi-
tionists, but not very many"
THE prohibitionists have been tell
ing me-" says Mr.. Phillips, as though
it were the, most natural thing in the
world that they should be consulting
with the democratic leader and plan
ming with him for the defeat Of the
republican party and the success of
the democracy. Yet both he and his
party stand for the repeal of the mulct
law. In this same interview Mr.Phil-
lips says: well, believe that the
mulct law should be repealed. Yes,
sir, / believe that we should have To-
cal option law
Yet this is the man and the party
who are counting on the help of the,
prohibitionists in their endeavor to
get local option law in Iowa, the
very thing that the prohibitionists
have so long fought. Yet from Mr..
Phillips utterances it appears that
the prohibitionists are telling me-
are consulting and planning as though
they were allies.
1t is impossible for the democrats
and the prohibitionists by their unit
ed forces to defeat the republican
state ticket, but if they could the pro-
hibitionists would be simply helping
to put in power the very party which
has always fought temperance in ev-
cry form, and which now proposes
openly to do away with the prohibi-
ton which is the governing law in the
large majority of the counties in Iowa.
To thus lend aid and comfort to the
democracy by endeavoring to defeat
the republican party shows blindness
of Judgment on the part of those who
are devoted to the cause of prohibit
ton. The success of the democracy
would set the temperance reform so
far back that it would take years OF
persistent effort to restore it to its
present condition.-Council Bluffs

2IOWA PRESS COMMENT
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Mr.. Phillips and the Press.-The
Hon. T. Jefferson Phillips, democratic
candidate for governor of Iowa, is
very sore over the nature of the treat
ment which he alleges is being &C
corded him by the republican press of
this state. We are indeed at a loss
to know what the gentleman would
have done if his candidacy had been
taken seriously or if this had been
anything of a vigorous campaign. The
sufferings of Mr. Phillips would GER
tainly have been something fearful to
behold.
The facts are that the present cam
paign has been wonderfully free from
personalities, bitterness or any of those
disagreeable characteristics which
have so often been manifest in parts
an contests. The most serious refiec-
lions of a personal nature against Mr.
Phillips have emanated from his own
party press. To the Capital it is a
very gratifying reflection that repub'
lican papers have uniformly refused to
recognize those charges in any man
ner or to feature them to the advan-
tage Of Mr.. Cummins or the disadvan
tage of Mr.. Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips candidacy has been
made the object of good deal of jo-
cularity, bantering and persiflage, but
it has been untinged with anything sa
voring of malice or bitter partisanship
We believe that Mr.. Phillips declara.
ton that the press has persistently
misrepresented him and misquoted
him is almost entirely Pigment of his
own Imagination. 1t has been toe
much pleasure to quote Mr.. Phillips
literally to have any disposition tc
garble his utterances or to manufac
ture interviews in his behalf. Indeed
Mr.. Phillips ought to be thankful thai
it is absolutely beyond the power Of
the press to delineate his candidacy
as literal exactness would require.
This is no time for Mr.. Phillips tt
allow his feelings to get hurt. The
campaign will afford him an excellent
opportunity to get around over thu
state, see the boys and shake hands
with the few surviving members of the
ancient unterrified. And then aftel
the votes are counted, he can return tt
his coal business, not necessarily
sadder, but a much wiser man. - De
