A GOOD PHILIPPINE POLICY.

1t is the general belief among the re-
definite Philippine policy Will be agreed
upon and heartily endorsed by the ma

outset of the session as to what should
be done, 1t is gradually being cleared

cifcation already accomplished. He has
concealed nothing and has made II his
SNaim to set forth what he considers wise
z measures for the benefit of islanders.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, who
lis considered wise and conservative
sstudent of the Philippine problem. and
gwho is one of the ablest of our public
men, is quoted as saying:
j Governor Taft has convinced me
sthat if we temporarize in any way we
lshall take a fatal step; that we have no
moral right to abandon our responsible

Union, 1.-THE excitement over the
smallpox situation in Des Moines,
thanks to the Chicago papers and
board of health of that city, is nothing
more than could be expected. And ii
as result of the criminal carelessness
on the part of the officials of the city
of Des Moines, there is a perceptible
lessening of the number of visitors to
the capital city, they have no one but
themselves to blame. Both Sioux city
and Des Moines have treated this pres
ent epidemic in Iowa, whether It's
smallpox or some other infectious dis
ease, in manner that has caused much
comment, among strangers and out
sders This is all the more noticeable
from the contrast in the smaller towns.
For instance here in this town they
had IA case of something called small
pox. AT once rigid quarantine was
established, ropes We're placed across
the sidewalks in front of the house, and
the quarantine observed by inmates
and outsiders. Result. this family Is
the only one in town afflicted and they
will be released before this is in print.
In Sioux City on recent Monday
morning the writer was on his way to
the depot. on Third street as he was
passing quarantlned house with big
yellow placard on the front door, 1t was
opened and man all broken out with
smallpox. stood there, evidently want
ing a breath of fresh air. The LOCKER
on and the smallpox patient were with
in five feet of one another. Worse than
this are the cases reported from Des
Moines, where laboring men with we'll
developed cases of smallpox have been
around depots and in warehouses,
where the people are constantly thrown
In contact with them. And a city of
SO, 900 inhabitants in the year 1902 that
allows such conditions to exist de-
serves all the loss of trade, that is in
evitable when such facts become pub
lie.
Perhaps the most aggravated case in
the small town, was in -. While
the writer was In drug store In the
town, he was told that a merchant of
the town had a daughter at home sick
with the smallpox. That said mer-
chant helped nurse the sick girl nights
and waited on his customers day times.
The writer found out on investigation
that the story was true. and further
more that he had called on the said
merchant that morning. In the same
town, a blacksmith had the smallpox,
but worked at his trade all thru his
sickness (?) being thrown in contact
with the farmers and liverymen every
day, even when broken out" with the
disease And the board OF health of
this small town knew of these facts
and took no action in the matter.
The doctors themselves are much to
blame for the present increase of this
disease in Iowa. 1t matters but little
what the disease is. It's infectious, all
agree But some doctors insist it is
not smallpox. Such doctors tell their
PATIENTS there is no use vaccinating for
this certain itch or chickenpox. In
some cases they fail to quarantine such
patients. Then hue and Cry is raised.

We have heard great deal about heart
to heart talks The little talks where
people get right down to honest reason, to
common sense.
You have no doubt at some time or other
experienced the annoying and painful symp-
toms OF indigestion. Digestion is the pro-
cess by which nature transforms our food,
by means OF various juices called digestants,
into blood which is then carried throughout
the body and used to make fiesh muscle,
bone, nerve, brain and material OF every
kind OF which the body is composed.
Indigestion may arise from variety of
causes, but generally because some of the
elements which make up the digestive juices
are lacking.
Undigested food gives you all kinds of
trouble
In the first place you have most distress
ing feeling In your stomach, especially after
eating Soon this undgested food ferments,
the gas distends the stomach, and in its eff

from correct. Most supposed heart trouble
is nothing more nor less than indigestion.
OF course that is serious enough but you
want to know where the seat of the trouble
is, SO you can treat 1T properly.
Again, such food as should be digested in
the stomach but is not digested there, passes
into the intestines and bowels where it
causes more trouble. The bowels become
constipated or ''clogged up, the waste
matter is not passed of but is to some extent
absorbed back in the system. This poisons
the blood. Then what can you expect? Can
any person think that this poisoned blood
can make healthy flesh, healthy bone, healthy
kidneys, healthy liver, healthy heart, or a
clear, healthy, active brain? Is 1t any
wonder that ninety five per cent of the
American people have bodily Affections?
The whole point is this. II people would
digest their food properly most human ills
would disappear.
You no doubt would cure your indigestion
II you knew how, wouldn't you? Certainly.
Now IL the digestive juices or fluids are
lacking but we substitute something COM
posed of exactly the same elements or in
gradients, isn't it common sense that the
result will be the same? II certain

WELL MEANT SCHEME QUESTIONED.

| The present legislature is one of the
| ideas that has met in session for many
years. For the most part the pro-
posed legislation has merit. but in the
grand rush to reform things many a
proposition presented by we'll mean
| ing and sincere member should be
thoroughly digested before it is placed
ON the statute books TO work out its
mission. Among such measures is
the bill proposing to have all county
treasurers' offices examined and
checked up by state examiner.
1t is doubtless true that many a
county treasurer's office in Iowa needs
some kinks taken out of it's disordered
management. but the theory of our
government is that the people shall
govern themselves so far as possible.
The principle of local government
underlies the whole structure. Hence
the business of county government is
the business of the counties them
selves and it should concern the vot-
ers of Marshall county very little save
in an educational way how well the
business of Henry county. or any
other county, is conducted. The eN-
perience we have had with our liquor
Legislation has made us all favor local
option in all things.
If the state finds that because of i'm
perfect bookkeeping or incompetent
management some county is not re-
turning its just share of state taxes
to the state government the state au-
thority might justly be exercised to
force such county up to It's full re-
sponsibility for state burdens and Il
law might be in order establishing
uniform system of county records for
that part of the business In which tho
state is interested, but the scheme OF
a state examiner seems To have gone
beyond the states rightful authority.
1t is also one of questioned practical
bility. Marshall county employs an
expert some five or six weeks to check
up it's county treasurer and 1t is doubt
full whether q state examiner could do
the work in much less time. He
would at least have a good sized con-
tract on his hands IL he undertook to
inspect ninety nine different systems
of bookkeeping and in many instances
practically no bookkeeping at all. In
order to carry out the work 1t would
be necessary to establish a uniform
system of records and then put the
county treasurers under civil service
rules responsible TO state board for
their jobs and not to the electors of
the county whose money is in their
custody The public is not quite ready
for this sort of thing. Counties will
prefer to go on taking their chances
with good and bad treasurers just SO
long as the voters have the privilege
of electing the treasurer they want

TERMS:
THE PAYNE SCHEME.

Editor Payne of the Nevada Repre-
umn to the congressional redistricting
plan for which he is sponsor, altho he
attempts to shift responsibility for the
scheme to the shoulders of Senator
Fitzpatrick and Representative Greeley
The special aim of Mr. Payne's article
is to draw from the Times Republican
it's reasons for objecting TO his rear
rangement of the Fifth district As
reasons have been plainly stated in two
previous articles in the Times Repub-
lican, which we are sure Editor Payne
has read from the notices he has given
hash them again For the benefit of
the reader who may be less familiar
it may be restated that Mr.. Paynes
new Fifth district would make Mar
shall county the tail-end of Mr. Lacey's
district With a smaller republican ma
jority than it now casts. The basis of
o desirable district. from the party
point of view. is Il strong republican
majority, such as Mr. Payne has fig
ured out for himself. His new plan for
a home district, without q member of
the present house to contest the claims
of ambitious men for congressional
honors, is an ideal one--for Editor
Payne: but it brings up recollectfcns of
the fable of the stork which invited the
fox to dine with il and provided only
long necked bottle of food. The stork
was unable to understand why his
guest was not satisfied with the feast.
The ambition to be Il congressman is
"a worthy one upon the part OF Mr..
Payne: and the desire to get away

Des Moines is upobjectionable. The
Times Republican could wish it's
neighbor on the west no greater favor
than to be divorced from the capital
city, when redistricting is seriously de-
lnanded, but IL fears the ambition will
not be realized at the present session of
the legislature.
In fact the general trend of republic
can sentiment at this time is against
redistricting chiefly because bill
could not be framed that would suit all
districts any better than the present
arrangement.
1t may be said in passing that the
general policy of letting we'll enough
alone is a good one to rule in the pres
ent case. Outside of the family voiced
wish of certain large districts. such as
the Tenth and Eleventh. for change
based upon population, there is no de-
mand for redistricting save that ex-
