Promises for Campaign.

The republican newspapers We're
disposed to look askance at the Iowa
resolutions, with their talk of reci-
procity and restrictions on corporate
power, and their demand for revision
of the tariff, especially for such mod
ification of schedules as may be re-
quired to prevent their affording
shelter to monopoly" Since they
have been assured that the Iowa re-
pubIicans said these same things last
year, without producing any impress
sion, they have become reconciled to
the Iowa platform, and now regard it
as a correct expression of the tradi-
tiOnal republican doctrine.
This latter view is evidently the
correct one, declares the Philadel-
phia Times. The party has been talk
ing about these things for years and
still going on in the old way. 1t has
talked against trusts ever Since it
passed the Sherman act, years ago,
but the Sherman act has never done
the trusts the slightest harm. 1t
has made great talk about reciproci-
ty, but when reciprocity treaties
were presented to a republican SEN
ate they were shelved. Even poor
China was not permitted to enjoy the
modification of the tariff schedules
which afforded shelter to mono
poly Such promises are for cam
paign use, only; they in no way
commit the party to their perform
ance.

friends is much like the revision of

The fame of the medical staff of
the Illinois y Ray Infirmary, with
DR.. J. Alvin Horne as president, is
positively upma tehed in the, state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cialists. There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic
eases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-
vous and organic diseases of both men
and women.
Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj
vance of all ordinary methods in med
icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,

annual and biennial platforms and by
the words of mouth of the leaders.
But no republican Legislature has
revised the ballot laws, except to
make them worse and to increase
which studiously ignores all other
matters of actual concern to the peo-
pie of the state, admits a general
promise of ballot reform. 1t is es-
sentially a repetition of the promise
of two years ago, and the record of
the last legislature sufficiently shows
the value of such campaign pledges.
The high tariff tradition is so wide
ly prevalent in this state that the re-
publican vote for congressman is
not likely to be affected greatly by
campaign promises. But ballot re-
form is a living issue to which the
followers of the majority party can
not be Indifferent without sacra-
flee of their moral convictions and
their sense of political integrity.
Since the necessity of more equable
laws is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS testified
in the adoption of the constitutional
amendments last year-the question
between the parties IS not one OF
promise but of purpose and perform
ance.
Judging from all past experience,
it is certain that the republican or
ganiZation as now controlled can
not be trusted to reform the laws to
which it owes so much of its unjust
power. On the other hand, party
interest not less than principle and
conviction must make this the one
supreme issue with it's opponents.
y machine legislature will no more
fulfill these campaign pledges now
than in the past. Their realization
can be secured only by the election
of majority in each house speci-
fically bound to declarations of the
Erie platform.
