THE ESSENCE OF FACTION.

The beautiful spirit of the Cedar
Ranids Republican Is again exhibited
in the following referring to the Iowa
republican platform as compared to the
platform adopted by Nebraska repub-
Means:
Compare this twaddle with what the
republicans of Nebraska were wise
enough to put into their platform. Iowa
republicanism has become bastaro9zea.
Nebraska republicans declared:
1--WE adhere to the AMERICAN pro-
tectiye policy of the republican party,
which has increased the revenues ana
rot impeded trade; which has opened
the doors of mills and factories to mill
IONS of American skilled mechanics ana
ia returning to them the higher wages
which are the Just recompense of their
tolls"
I1pon the same subject Iowa repub-
1fcans declared:
1--WE reaterate our faith in the his
toric policy of protection. Under It's
influence our country, foremost IN me
honntics OF nature. has become fore
most in production. II las enabled Ia
bor to secure good wages and has IN
ff1,ced capital to engage In prouucuon
with a reasonable hope of fair reward.
It's yindication Is found in the history
Of it's successes and the rapidlty Win
which our national resources have Deeh
developed and our Industrial indepsnd-
ence secured. and we heartily renew our
,,hedpe to maintain it. Tariff rates en-
acted to carry this policy into ehec'
should be Just, fair and Impartial,
emlally opposed to foreign control anu
domestic monopoly, to sectional ulS-
examination and individual faVoritlsm'
and must from time to time be changed
to meet the varying conditions inclueH'
IN the progress of our industries and
their changing relations TO our foreign
and domestic commerce.
Continuing the Nebraska republicans
asserted:
..The republican party recognizes
that legitimate business fairly capital
lied and honestly conducted has IN
creased our industries at home and eX-
handed our trade abroad and enahleo
us to successfully compete with foreign
markets. in the markets of the world
hut the republican party IS unalterabiy
opposed to all combinations of capita
under whatever name, having for theii
purpose the sitting of competition, anc
arbitrarily controlling production OF
fixing prices"
And the Iowa republicans before
them had said:
1--WE believe that the large corpora
tons commonly called trusts should
be 80 regulated and supervised both il
rheir organization and operation tina
their evil tendencies may be checked
and tfAir evil practices prevented. II

A PURE FOOD SUGGESTION.

The department of agriculture and
that of agricultural chemistry at the
State Agricultural College have been
investigating the products sold under
the narle of cider vinegar. The result
of their analyses show that two thirds
of the compounds sold as cider vinegar
are authorizations. The samples ana
lived were bought as apple products
and the investigation did not include
other v!negars. The wholesale adul-
teration of this common table accessory
brings out the following recommends
tons from the investigators:
/. Pure food laws. in order that the
food products sold on the market may
be examined.
9. Bulletins containing information
for the use of the public on pure and
adulterated products
8. To carry out this work a food
commissioner is necessary in ADDITION
to pure food laws. The result of the
work of the pure food commission
would be:
j. Protection of the grocer,man and
the consumer.
8. Better knowledge on fool nateri :
ais used by the public.
3. Prevention of the great losses 10
the public who pay full prices for adult
terared foods.
4. Better health of the community
resulting from consuming pure foods.
A pure food law, properly enforced is
needed and should be enacted. Com
netition between food manufacturers
and between grocers is standing IN
centiye toward putting adulterated food
products on the market that one may
undersell the other. This adulteraton
lis not confined to vinegar by any means.
II runs thru the entire manufacture OF
prepared foods.
There should be some method of Ia
belng provided for which win permit
the consumer to know Just what he Is
purchasing. If he buys adult'.rated fooc
then he purchases it KNOWN gly and mol
under deception. Some system for tbs
linspection of manufactured food prod
ucts to ensure their sale urder honest
labels will be welcomed by the retailer
as we'll as the consumer.

OUR SWAMP LANDS.

Mr.. Fred Hoisington. special agent OF
the U. S. land office, is in the city for
the purpose of investigating the claim
of the state of Iowa against the govern
ment for swamp land values. Between
the years of 1850 and 1855 land was
sold in Iowa by the government for
$l.25 PER acre. In 1855 the government
patented to the state of Iowa all the
swamp lands and they in turn sold 1t.
1t seems that some of the land sold by
the government at Sl.25 per acre, was
afterwards coded to the state as swamp
land, and now the state wants the gov
eminent to refund to the state and
thence to the counties the money paid
by individuals to the government for
swamp lands. The government is will
ing to do this Il the ;.roof can be shown
that the land was swamp in 1850 to
1855. The state claim is for l6S quar-
ter sections in Jasper county, or 6,120
acres, or $500. 1T is quite a PROPOSE
ton and coming in on the boys" all
at once, they don't know exactly what
TO do" Ii the claim is to be prosecuted
swamp land agent will be appointed
and thorough investigation made. II
the officials think that the land claimed
was not swamp. they can sign waiver
and thus settle the claim against the

SHE AND HIS CHILDREN.


Josephine Dodge Daskam, the
author, made the man who
asked her hand in mar
rage promise that he would have his
children, by previous marriage. live
apart from him. She does not want
any stepsons in the house. For this she
has been much abused But one should
understand all the circumstances before
passing judgement. The children re-
ferred to may be brickbats instead of
diamonds. They may be very tough
and worthless and the woman who
writes books may not think it worth
while for her to spend the rest of her
active life trying to whip the fellows
into shape There are boys who are
not worth such efforts and if one is not
so disposed there is really no reason
why he or she should wear herself out
trying TO make diamonds out of chunks
of coal. Cast not your pearls before
the swine, applies even to woman who
is about to assume the duties of wife.
Or it may be that Josephine Dodge
Daskam is conscious of her own in
abilities to look after the two children
belonging to the man she was going to
marry. Her request that the children
live apart may have been based on rec
ognition Of such inability on her part,
and it may result in greater good for
for the children because it may place
them in charge of those who are better
able to care for them and develop them.
In short, there are many considera-
lions which should impel one to be eau
tious in criticism of such matters. One
does not know until he has made him.
self acquainted with all the facts. Ii
is always SO easy to assume that some
one is neglecting his dug. But we dare
say that Josephine Dodge Daskam Is
civilized woman, a woman with ten
der heart and with a desire to do what
is best for all concerned in her recent
matrimonial affair In order to be Just
| to others we must be very merciful In
criticism.
