HISTORY OF THE PLANKs.
JSp;,it Talsa RaapoO

Bernard Murphy insists that the tar
if writing in the Cedar Rapids plat
form was the result of a sudden inspir-
alton of George E. Roberts at the eve
of the 1901 convention. The Beacon
has no notion of exploiting itself or
MIR. Roberts in THIS connection, but in
the interest of history 1T may be stated
that before us as we write is letter
from this gentleman under date of July
S. 1901, discussing a type-written en-
closure outlining suggestions for the
platform at the coming convention. 1t
embraces two paragraphs almost iden-
teal in terms With the tariff expression
OF the Cedar Rapids platform. The
writer discussed these propositions
from the standpoint of party policy and
public need and modestly hoped they
might find favor with Iowa republicans.
AT the eve of the convention Mr. Rob-
erts sought council at this point, and a
slight change was made as to tariff
changes. But the entire draft is so
nearly like the planks adopted last year
and this year as to make close exam
ination necessary to detect any differ
ence. This draft was made at least
three weeks before the convention.

COUNTY TICKET.
MERELY a PALLIATIVE.

While it is generally understood that
the strike settlement will terminate the
struggle in the anthracite region, and
that the miners will vote to accept the
agreement for arbitration and resume
work at once, it will by no means give
a permanent settlement to the indus
trial conflict of which it was only q
part. The truce agreed upon is only a
palliative, tho 1t satisfies the public at
the present as IL 1t were fnality. 1t
had grown like great boil on the body
polite and needed puncturing, and
President Roosevelt succeeded in pune
turing 1t. 1t relieved the strain and
partially cured the evil. and pointing to
the most potent remedy as that of ar
bitration. But the patient most afflict-
ed Is not always ready to take the nos
trum, and this is what affords debata-
BILE ground as to voluntary and COM
pulsory measures OF this kind.
It suggests one phase that it is pru-
dent to consider. These problems must
be met as they arise, and disposed of in
like manner. Each case has peculiar
features of its own. A general law will
not operate unless public officials are
vigilant in seeing that it is enforced.
The general law may kill, where cor
receive is merely needed. This is true
of all general laws. In Attorney Cen
eral Knox's cure for trust evils he ex-
pressed the belief that congress would
enable the country to cope with them
by adopting the scheme of the common
law. and there was suggestion that
each individual case would require at
itention as 1t arose. In similar way it
may be prudent to deal with labor con-
tentions. A permanent board of arbi-
strafion, selected by congress, where in
terstate interests demand 1t, might aid
In the movement of settling those diff
culties, which are bound to come up
from time to time.

Legislative Power Over Trusts.
Minneapolis Tribune

minneapolis Tribune.
The burden of the speech of Attorney
General Knox on the tax question was
| that congress had not exhausted its
power TO regulate industrial corpora
tons in the Sherman act. He thought
that much more could be done. withou,
constitutional amendment to bring
the so-called trusts under federal law
The opposing idea is that the power
OF congress in this direction is limited
by Its power over interstate commerce
That is to say, 1t can deal only with
trade between the states, and can as
sumo no jurisdiction over Industrial
production. The idea of the attorney
general is that industrial operations
extending over several states, whose
product must necessarily enter into in
terstate commerce, can in some way be
brought under federal regulation to
prevent combination in restraint of
trade.
The views of members of congress
on this question have especial interest.
The Evening Post lately sent to all the
members of the senate and house of
representatives a list of questions bear
ing on trust and tariff legislation. Only
about one-fifth of the whole number
answered.: but these answers show
great divergence OF view and division
on sectional rather than on party lines
All the democrats believe that congress
did not exhaust its powers in the Sher-
man act. while the republicans are di-
vided. Among the republicans, the be-
lief that congress has exhausted its
power is more prevalent in the west
than in the east. As might be expected
the sentiment in favor of constitu-
tional amendment is strongest in the
against it. Taking the country over
those who answered this question are
almost equally divided
On questions relating to the tariff
alone, the tables show some curious re-
suits. All the democrats and about half
the republicans express themselves in
favor of reducing the tariff on mo-
nopoly made articles" There is a two
to one majority against tariff COM
mission to recommend changes to con-
gress This is an interesting indication
of the attitude of congress towards out
side interference or assistance. About
and tWo-thirds Of the affir-
native vote is republican, but about
two thirds of the republican affirmative
vote comes on the west. In all this
there is pretty definite measure of the
and geographical location of
the tariff reform sentiment with which
the republican party will have to deal
inside its own ranks.

GOOD DAILY PAPER.

!
The Marshalltown Times Republican
is the best daily paper in the state for
Hampton people. Not only because it
is as good as the best, but because it
reaches here the same evening of publi-
cation. City readers who wish can
then have the paper the same evening
if they wish and subscribers on the,
rural routes receive the paper early
the next morning. II gives all the news
of the world, besides the complete news
of Iowa, something no outside paper is
able to do. The Times Republican is
worth ten times more to Franklin
county people than any Minneapolis,
St. Paul or Chicago paper.

Canker Sore Mouths in Young Pigs.

From inquiries received at the
Wisconsin Experiment station it is
evident that the swine raisers are los
ing many of their young pigs by a
disease known as s'canker sore
mouth" This appears to be very
prevalent in many sections, and is
quite fatal where measures are not
taken promptly to apply suitable
remedy. The disease is evidently in
fictitious in character and attacks
young pigs any time from birth until
six weeks old.
The symptoms are as follows:
Large water blisters appear about
the lips and snout, rapidly succeeded
by much heat and swelling of the
parts, and later thick brown scabs
appear which open into deep cracks.
These scabs extend over the face,
head, and IN extreme cases even to
the body and limbs, the joints of the
latter becoming much swollen and
infamed. Ulcers form about the
snout and jaws, eating the flesh from
the bones. The pigs show dizziness,
disinclination to move, often refuse
to suckle or do so in a very half
hearted manner.
To be effective the treatment should
be prompt and thorough. Prepare
solution of permanganate of potash,
which can be had at any drug store.
using one ounce of crystals dissolved
in one gallon of water in a common
pail. The young pigs should be
dipped head foremost into the solu-
tion and kept there for brief time.
Repeat this two or three times, giving
the pig time to catch it's breath in the
intermissions. This treatment given
every day for three or four days will
effect cure if the trouble is not of
long standing. In extreme cases
where ulcers and heavy scabs have
formed about the nose and jaws of
the pigs, use two ounces of the per-
manganate to one gallon of water,
and before dipping remove all the
loose tissue that has been eaten away.
The sow's udder should be bathed
freely with the solution each day.
Remove the sow and pigs to fresh
quarters If possible, and see to it
that other successive filters are not
narrowed in the pen where the affect
ed pigs were housed until it has been
thoroughly disinfected.
Benefit will also be derived from
laxative given the sow; pint of raw
linseed oil in her slop or in milk will
be suitable. w. L. CARLYLE,
