brings them to justice. 1t would be
just as sensible for the housewife to
condemn the rat-trap. for the owner OF
the bank to condemn the burglar alarm,
for the shepherd to condemn the sheep
that was slain by the wolf.
Mr., Thayer's letter is consoling to the
prohibitionists. 1t says of the sa-oon
and the drug store just what the pro-
hibitionist has always said. 1t says
saloons have increased drunkenness
over and above the drug stores, that
"mulct saloons" do not obey the law.
that, after all, they are a complete fail
ure as temperance measure. The cat
is out at last. Republican control of the
rum power Is a sham, that is filling the
prisons, asylums, almshouses and In
ebriate hospitals as never known be-
fore. Taxes are higl in licensed
towns than when under prohibition.
The people are grooming under the OPP
preston, and where is the remedy
Notwithstanding the politicians and
the press are trying to cover up the po-.
litical perfidy that has brought such
ruin to our people and expense to our
state, the people are fast coming to be-
lieve as Ex-Governor Larabee, who
said at a meeting held in Des Moines.
Sept. "a, 1899, I'VE have voted twice on
the question of prohibition In Iowa, and
each time it was carried, only to be fol-
lowed by defeat at the hands of corrupt
politicians in the halls of legislation. !
regret to say 1t, each time 1t has been
my own party that has wrought the
downfall of prohibition. The demo-
cratic party has a better record on the
liquor question in Iowa than we have,
altho there Is a popular impression to
the contrary" Half prohibition in Iowa
half enforced was a success, as every
student of it's workings knows, in COM
parison with the muict law. With no
appropriation to enforce IT. with Off
Gals opposed to the law, with no state
constabulary otherwise than the pri-
vate citizen to run down the rum seller
the same Larabee said "the law was
as we'll enforced in eighty-five counties
of the state as the laws against other
crimes"
Marshalltown has twenty three sa-
looms and twelve drug stores, which,
according to the average of such places,
sell over 100000 worth of intoxicants
for drink purposes yearly. Just that
sum is taken from the worthy and ben
eficial lines of trade. Just that much Is
lost to the respectable merchant. Pub
lie opinion turnout the state says that
the drug store system is a breeder of
perjury in order to obtain drink. The
jail is crowded with the product of
these drunk factories as nAver before,
and they are on the Increase. Taxes
are about / per cent higher than in
prohibition days, and women stand at
the bar with men. The hands of the
prohibition party are washed clean of
this legalized filth. Respectfully yours,
w. HOWARD.

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
MACHINE ELEMENT DOOMED.
mason City Times Herald

Mason City Times Herald.J
The political question that is now
up for consideration is very important
to the people of Iowa. Thru misrepre-
sensations along the tariff lines, the
machine politicians in the state are
endeavoring to weaken or destroy the
influence of Governor Cummins in
state politics. OF course it is a tre-
mendous task, but they are becoming
desperate and fully realize that defeat
in this contest means everlasting de-
feat. But the machine" element is
certainly doomed in Iowa. For an en-
tire year the tariff-trust plank re-
manned in the platform of the repub-
lican party and there was not Cy-
renus Cole or a Lafayette Young to
lift their voices against 1t. 1t is not
the principle these men are now fight
ing, it is simply an opening into which
they hope to poke their nose and by
crowding and by wriggling they hope
to disturb and finally disrupt the well
organized forces friendly to the adj
ministration. There is hardly a faint
hope that such can win. Defeat has
stamped Itself on their past acts and
the man with the rubber stamp stands
ready TO place the same mark upon any
such act in the future This test is
likely to come before the people in the
shape of a contest on United States
senator. Dolliver stands with Cover
nor Cunmins squarely upon the pres
ent state platform. Some time ago the
announcement came from Burlington
that j. w. Blythe was being crowded
to announce his candidacy for the
United States senate. This seems to
be the political condition now confront
ing the republican party. Do1liver will
succeed just as easily as Cumnains will
succeed. There is no more probability of
defeating Governor Cummins for a re-
nomination than there is of defeating
Senator Dolliver for denomination.
Upon the record they have made they
can rest content. Dolliver, great in the
congress of the United States and still
greater in the field of usefulness in the
higher body. Cummins. the best COVER
nor the state has ever produced, and
right in line for senatorial succession
when the right time comes. Proceed
ing on right principles. principles en-
dorsed by the party and by the people,
with no apologies, but sincerely in har-
mony with public declarations. Senator
Dolliyer and Governor Cummins have
nothing to fear. Everywhere their
friends will stand right by the guns.

DOUBLE TRACKS GROWING.

The plan of double tracking railroads
goes on in progressive way despite the
sneers that are occasionally hurled at
roads that have adopted this improve
nent because they do not wholly pre-
vent accidents. Railroad operators ap-
preciate double tracks, however, and
find good reasons to sustain them. They
saw that on a single-tra line having
a large business, the running of trains
on schedule time is practically impos-
s;ble and the danger of accidents by
collision or derailment is much greater.
A single breakdown Daralyzes the whole
line and the maintenance of sidings is
a continual item Of cost requiring great
care in operation. For all three reasons
double tracking has come to be con-
sidered an essential up-to-date railroad
service.
A well posted dispatcher was recently
asked TO tell what he thought was the
greatest advance in American railroads
ing-the modern locomotives, the inn
proved cars, the signal systems, the
heavier rails, the new roadbeds, the au-
tomato brakes. or the new methods of
switching. Allowing all the Importance
Of all these, he declared the chief inn
provement in the safety, CELEBRITY and
profit in American railroading to be the
present system of double tracking
which is being steadily extended to all
main lines of the country. When rail-
road man expresses such an opinion the
public may we'll adopt his views.
At the beginning of 1901 there were
10000 miles of main or single track on
the railroads of the United States and
Il. 600 miles of second track. Ten years
before that there were $4,000 miles of
main or single and 5000 miles of double
track.
In the ten years intervening the
amount of double track increased SO per
cent, while the amount of single track
increased less lnaH ~ per cent iHeTe
were even. at the last computation,
1000 miles of third track on American
railroads and 900 miles of fourth track.
1t is predicted by railroad men that
at the present ratio of growth, In few
years the chief railroad systems win
have their main lines all double tracked,
as the branch, subsidiary and feeding
Hines which constitute a very large part
of evedy railroad system do not require
double track service.
In our own state the year just clos
/ ing has witnessed the completion of the
work of double tracking the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad across the entire
state, remarkable achievement, cover
ing 352 miles. This CT course does not
take into account the further mileage
across the state of Illinois.

How to Prevent crouo.5

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign ofS
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by PEI
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes noarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1t wilt
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the

the CLOSING YEAR.

The year 1902 has been chiefly nota-
BILE as one of development and the out
working OF good policies, rather than
Tor striking events in the national
arena. With peace st home and pa
cificatian accomplished in the Philip
pines, reduction of the army has
been made possible. National attention
has therefore been largely given to the
i Industrial field, where all the energies of
Il labor have been absorbed as rarely ever
before in a prosperous period. Much
has been accomplished, but much more
would have been done but for the lack
of workmen and materials and the giut
In transportation facilities. With all
the numerous arteries of commerce now
established in the way of railways and
vessels, commerce has been to some ex-
tent hampered. An embargo on indus
trial activity has also occurred thru nu-
lnerous strikes of laborers, who desired
a larger measure of reward. The chief
effort in this direction, on which ma
tional attention centered, was the strike
Of anthracite miners, the dire results of
which the people are still suffering. An
unusual and unexpected outcome of
this effort to secure higher wages was
the intervention of the president OF the
United States in the role of peace
maker thru arbitration. This work has
not been fully accomplished, but 1t is in
fair way of peaceful settlement. Not
only was national attention centred
on President Roosevelt's act, but the
worlds interest was awakened by it..
Possibly this may to some extent have
created desire that he should act in
the role of arbitrator when the Vene-
sKuelan trouble arose. AT any rate, as
one of the great events of the closing
month OF the year, the president dis
played wisdom and prudence and won
a diplomatic victory not only for our
nation but for the world in securing an
international agreement to refer this
contention to The Hague tribunal, a
court especially created for such pur-
pose, which the two great powers of
Germany and Great Britain were will
ing to ignore. Had their wishes been
followed The Hague tribunal would
have received deadly blow.
Another feature of industrial activi-
II ~ iY, ,,,r !. q ttar, has haau the Y,rppres-
eive movement for the consolidation of
great corporations and the consequent
development Of what has been denom-
mated trusts.
In the political arena this has given
renewed thought to the effort of solving
the problem of so curbing these trusts
as not to destroy the industrial fabric
pn which they rest This is now con-
spicuous feature of proposed legisla-
tion in congress.
Some of the great movements set
upon foot during the year as result
OF congressional legislation have been
the formal completion of our effort in
establishing the republic Of Cuba; pro-
Niding civil government for the Philip
pines; the adoption of the measure for
the building of the isthmian canal-the
delay of which has been caused by the
prolonging of negotiations with Colum-
the bill providing for the irrigation
