THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
[Sioux City Journal,l


Gov. Cummins is not being well
served by the busybodies who are try
ing to provide a scrap in the forthcom-
ing republican state convention. AS. the
opportunity for a blood-letting contest
over the ticket is not apparent, these
agents of mischief are giving their at
tention to the platform. They are seek
ing to make it appear that the plat
form must be written in a certain way
if the supporters of the governor are
TO escape taunt. Just what they would
have in the platform of distinctive
character they have not as yet taken
trouble to point out Possibly their
contention it hung on differences of
opinion that have been expressed con-
corning portions of the governors Min
reapoIfs speech. 1t is not believed by
the Journal that the governor is look
ing for trouble with his party. There
appears to be no good reason to assume
that he is ambitious for extravaganza
of statement in the platform to the end
that H. may serve as friction in fac
tonal contest. Last year these same
busybcdies concerned themselves much
over the platform. They presented
models Certain gentlemen, tho not

DON'T READ IN BED,
1t IL a Dangerous Practice While
Lying Down, Says on Authority.

1t IL a Dangerous Practice While
Lying Down, Says on Authority.
Reading in bed is seriously advised,
SO the newspapers say, by physician
as conducive to repair and resting"
relieving congestion" "emptying the
veins overtilled by prolonged eyewOrk,"
etc.
It is plain that placing the he'd back
in a horizontal position so absolutely
meets the whole problem of relief Of
congestion by grayity-and it is such
very important problem-that it seems
strange that people with weak eyes
do not habitually practice reading In
recumbent position perfectly comforta-
BILE. Such advice, carried out with alb
solute care as to light and the position
Of the book, would in the case OF
thousand busy people add largely to
the number of hours which reading
could be INDUCED in without detriment
to the eyes or general health
Certainly the one who gives this
strange and pernicious advice could
never have tried the plan. Some years
ago there was described a patented de-
vice for suspending the book over the
horizontally placed head Of sick per-
son whereby reading would be possible
without holding the book in the hands.
Even then one wonders how the light
could be made to fall properly on the
page. Without method Of the kind
not even we'll person could hold
book five minutes above the eyes.
Reading in bed has ruined thousands
Of good eyes. Unless one sits up N

Startling proof of a wonderful adj

G. w. Roberts, of Elizabeth, w. Va. An

hopeless till he used Electric Bitters
and applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve,
which treatment completely cured him.

ABOUT HORSE TRADERS.
90. ,-,;,-


Not long ago a W I'll known local
horseman was commissioned to buy a
saddle horse for a lie oSuk man. The
Belle, Missouri, which he looked over
and strongly advised his client to buy.
The price asked was $125.
But the Keokuk man had his mind
fixed on g hundred dollars as the proper
price for saddle horse. True, the one
under consideration was a very fine one
but the owner was trying to hold up
The purchaser when he asked SIZE for
the animal. Then, too the keokuk
mans wife said that he had better put
the extra S25 into oil stock. a bicycle.
or something else. The horseman. who
knows all about horses because he has
been with them so long, fairly pleaded
with the Keokuk man TO buy that horse
AT the price asked. But the Keokuk
man refused to make the purchase, at
least then; later he might look at it
differently.
This is an DER true tale. The rest
of it is not long. In Il week the horse
was sold to a clerk at LaBelle for S140;
IL three weeks the clerk sold the horse
for SITS; week later the horse sold
again for $500; month later million
aire in Kansas City, paid $1,000 cash
for that same horse. If the keokuls
man had bought the horse for S125, it
would have been a good purchase.
Moral:If town expects to grow like
it's neighbors and rivals, it must not
be too much afraid of getting beat in a
horse trade.

THE SOLDIER ISSUE.
TDayenport Democratic

The more light we get on the situa-
ton in Samar the better do we see
that the American soldier has done his
duty there, and no more. Humane
warfare will not easily be successful.
warfare in Samar. To win the Ameri-
can soldier will! need to destroy anG
despoil and PERHAPS kill all the males
ever 10. Tho issue is only to be evoiv
cd from the question, what are we
there for?" Is it or mission to subju-
nitely, for what we can made out of
them? Or is ii our mission to break
up brigandage, make life and property
as safe as possible, put down civil dis
orders, and then, as soon as the step
can be taken, admit the people OF the
islands to as much government az
it is safe to trust the n with, promising
them, all the time, AID in plain terms,
just what we mean 20 do with them.
and keeping the promise? There is a
multitude of people of this country
who favor the retention of the islands
at any cost, but that sentiment will
grow less and less as the cost mounts
higher and as the difficulties of a6so-
lutte American control become palmer.
The soldier can not be the issue. but
the mission of that soldier, and the use
to which he is put can be and are. The
democratic party has pushed the at
tack on the American soldier as far as
it is safe to carry it, but it can go a
long way in insisting, with proper at
tention to the proprieties in any such
case, that what we seek in the Philip
pines is the same thing we have sought
in Cuba-national independence, not
annexation.
No matter what there may be in the
story of General Woods misuse of Gu
ban funds for the reciprocity campaign,
the friends of tariff reform in this
country are glad to see that the presi-
dent is doing his utmost to bring Gu
ban reciprocity to pass, and that he is
not frightened off by the recent dis
closures. or any suggestions growing
out of them. If Cuban reciprocity car
ries it will be mainly because of the
manner in which Roosevelt has urged
it.

view, which is based upon actual OBJ

anything more than an abnormal phys

wrist veins.

was possibly little extraordinary in

A BACK NUMBER.

[Iowa City Republican,
The Des Moines Register ought to be
given a professorship in some an
tiQuated theological college that has
made no advancement in 200 years. 1t
declares without reserve that Marti-
nique, Galveston and other horrors ara
divine dispensations, sent by the AL
mighty as warning of something, just
what, it does not say. An Oxford lay
man takes it to task for it's moss
backism, but it comes up with more
explicit declaration of it's antiquated
motions. According to the Register the
people of Galveston had been warned.
That is true, for about thirty years ago
q tidal wave sent the water rolling
thru the streets. and as result, in or
der to prevent future loss the city was
raised about four feet, lots were filed
in and everybody got above high water
mark. But according to the Register
the filing was not enough to suit the
dispenser of divine warnings. and an
other whack was taken at the city.
This time the city was put in ruins and
5000 people We're drowned A few years
ago Johnstown had flood and 7.OCO
were lost. at Martinique 10000 are
dead Iowa has been warned that tor
nadoes are liable to swoop down on us
any moment, even before the Register
editor could escape from his office and
seek his storm cave. hence according to
Register theology, superstition rather.
all Iowa people should get off. There
have been rumblings of the earth in
various parts of the country, and we
are liable to have earthquakes. hence
the people should move to where the
crust of the earth is thicker. Every
where there are warnings of disaster
and it may be well for mankind to get
up a general stampede and flee from
the wrath to come"
The advice to test your seed corn is
harmless. but the Register ought to be
in better business than making people
think God is a monster of hideous
mein, seeking some excuse to huri his
children to destruction at the rate of
10000 minute. Yet the Register edit
or lives next door to the liberal Con-
gregational church in Des Moines. He
ought to make connections by means Of
a telephone or speaking tube and listen
to the sentiments of its worship.

republican party, We're understood to be
iii waiting at Cedar Rapids with
planks in their pockets. They may have
it in mind to be within call again this
wear of the committee ION resolutions
at Des Moines. The Journal is not au-
thorized to speak for the governor, but
there may not be much hazard IN the
assertion that the governor would be
quite willing to excuse them
1t ought not to be difficult for the re-
publicans of Iowa this year to make a
platform broad enough for the whoie
partv. What is required is breadth and
not length. The pattern of the platform
adopted at Cedar Rapids last year
might be suitable as a guide this year.
The Cedar Rapids platform was made
by a convention controlled by the gov
ernor's friends. They had the power
10 write in that platform anything they
desired. That being the fact 1T is a
warrantabe assumption that the plat
form adopted by the convention was
satisfactory to them.
The is no sound reason observable
to this newspaper why the Des Mones
platform this year should not be framed
for the whole party and prove satisfac-
tory to the whole party. There is GER
tainly no good reason why the making
OF republican platform for the repub-
licans of Iowa should be the occasion of
driving a wedge into the ranks of the
party.
The Journal has confidence that the
busybodies are not intent upon serving
any interest that Gov. Cummins and his
close republican friends have affirmed
or have uppermost in their thought.
The Des Moines convention should be
made occasion for the spread of good
feeling and not occasion for pulling
scabs and shedding blood
