THE PREsIDENTAND THE TRUSTS
(Des Moines Register and Leader)

IVES NolHco 1Vo6lsteI ana LeaQer.J
The utterances Of President Roose-
welt at Pittsburg upon the trusts have
naturally attracted wide attention. for
he spoke with his usual vigor and the
aggressive action he has already taken
in the prosecution of offenders against
the trust laws gives special interest to
whatever he may say upon the sub
ject.
But although he spoke courageously
and earnestly he did not speak rashly.
There Is nothing of the demagogue in

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
Fusion But Union of Force.

The Storm Lake Vidette (dem.)
thinks it might have been better for
both the democratic and populist par
ties in Nebraska if the recent fusion
had not been effected. There are
radical differences between the popu-
lists and democrats" explains the vi
dette,' and any fusion by them is not
a fusion of ideas, but mere union of
forces made for the purpose of defeat
ing the republican forces. This policy
has never yet proved successful in the
end for any party.

AT THE BiJOU,
David WarfieId.

David Wafield was seen at the Jeffer- son last night in "The Auctioneer." The large audience was enthusiastic and MT. Warfield was forced to respond to a cur tain call at the end of the second act He made little speech expressing his qualification at having pleased his au- dience.
 MT. warfeld never fails to do this and 1t Is safe to say that he will always be greeted by a large house every time he appears in Birmingham. As delineator of Jewish types he is perhaps without an equal on the stage. He is an actor of much finish and his work is always painstaking and accurate. He never makes the mistake of overriding his part.
 The company is well balanced and con tains several clever actors. The stage settings are an agreeable change from the sterotyped kind and the play, while containing some pathos, is full of comic situations which MT. Warfielu turns to advantage in an inimitable way and thereby keeps his audience in roars of laughter. especially during the scenes in the auction shop.

A Change of Climate Does Not
 Always Cure Catarrh,
A Favorable Climate and Peru
 na Is Well-Nigh lnfaIIible.

N LIMATE will do a great deal for the II cure of catarrh. The change from a low marshy, humid locality to a locality where it is high and dry, with clear skies and bracing atmosphere, will do a great deal. In fact 1t will do won- ders in relieving catarrh, but it will not do all. There remains something for Peruna to do in addition.
 The Assistant Manager of a large hotel for the accommodation of people who are seeking the climate of California for re- lief from catarrhal diseases, testiies that Peruna is necessary in addition to the wholesale climate of oun western coast.
 We do not wish to undervaIue the worth of a good climate, but it must be remem- bered that while one catarrhal victim can avail himself of the benefits following a change of climate, one hundred are not able to do so. Even those who can afford a change of climate will find Peruna a good addition to their treatment, but for the hundreds who must stay at home Pe- runa Is absolutely indispensable. There is no other way to get rid of the bane- full influences of catarrh than a course of treatment with Peruna.
 As an instance where Peruna has been found necessary, even in the midst of the best climatic influences, we give the testimonial of Mrs. Anne L. Turner of California

One of the most intense dramatic situ- ations in Janice Meredith" takes place in the third act when Charles Fownes, a spy on the staff of General Washington is captured by the Hessians and taken to their headquarters to be searched.
