Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with
can be prevented by the use OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack Of Influenza (grip), and 1T has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been full
Nv proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is aprrehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then 1t is
announced that the patient has pneu-
mor,ia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

Drunkards in illinois and England.
T('hinnpo III ihIlna |

A comparison between the new En-
glish law about drulxards and the llli-
nois law on the same subject brings out
some interesting differences.
The Illinois law puts the drunkard
down as '.vagabonaa." That is, it puts
HIM down as vagahond in case he is a
common drunkard. In that case he
goes into the same ..ategory with AL
persons who are idle and dssolute." "all
persons who use any Juggling or other
unlawful game or pay, "runaways,
"pilferers,'' "lewd. wanton and lascivi-
Gus persons" common railers and
brawlers." and other similar characters
who are found proving" about steam
boat landings and other similar public
places. Now. a vagabond may be taken
before IA justice of the peace or police
Justice and sentenced to a fine or i'm
prisonment.
Whoever" says tie statute. shall
sell or give intoxicating liquor to any
person intoxicated or who Is in the hab-
it of getting intoxicated, shall for each
offense be fined not less than $50 nor
more than 500, or imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than ten nor more
than thirty days, or both, according to
the nature of the otense." Consider
ing, therefore, the difficulty of handling
vagabonds it is evident that under the
Illinois law the weight of regulation is
laid not on the drun.iard but on the per-
son who. knowing that his customer is a
drunkard, still continues to sell him
liquor.
The new English Jaw takes in both
sides of the case. 1t AIMS at preventing
the liquor dealer from selling liquor to
drunkards. 1t aims at preventing the
drunkard from buying liquor. When
ever a magistrate aseertains that GER
tain person is a drurkard police notice
il, sent to all liquor selling places within
the magistrates ju: isdiction and the
new drunkard's list is added to the
blacklist of persons to whom liquor
must not be sold. The social obioquy
implied in such proceeding is terrible
even to contemplate. One is not sur
-prised to learn from the London Spec
tutor that blacklis.el drunkard in the
north of England has committed sui
eide. Consciousness of the list and iso-
lation from alcohol were together too
much for him.
Whether the new law works well or
not, it is based on principle of the
greatest possible significance. 1t places
drunkards under public social regu-
lations. 1t proceeds upon the theory
that drunkenness is the kind of thing
which. like insanity or contagious dis
ease, is by no means matter OF purely
individual moment. 1t implies that
drunkenness is a public social evil and,
therefore. to be handled effectively even
IL complete publicity before the eyes OF
all society should result.

TAKING CHILDREN TO WORLDS FAIR.

A corporation was recently formed In
Iowa which proposes to personally
conduct" a long series of children's ex-
cursions to st. Louis next year. while
the great international exposition is III
progress. The plan is to transport a
half million, more or less, of school chill
dren between their homes in the Hawk
eye state and st. Louis. taking care of
them while on the road and in the
southern city, and giving them the ben
eft of intelligently prepared programs
in viewing the wonders of the fair and
the places of interest in st. Louis. Be
ing planned on great scale, the aim
would be to place the cost at a moder-
ate figure. An estimate of the outside
cost is $40 for each child, which will
cover all expenses from the time of de-
parture from home until the return.
Special dormitories will be erected by
the company and be planned for con-
venient access to the fair. The co-op-
erative features of the enterprise are
the basis of keeping down the cost.
It is stated that this scheme has not
yet met the endorsement of the Iowa
Worlds Fair commissioner, but it
strikes ST. Louis people favorably, for
the Globe Democrat of that city says:
"If properly managed. these excur-
sions will give the maximum safety ana
comfort Parents, of course, will In
spect all features of the scheme thor
oughly before accepting the facilities
offered Every child that has reached
the years of intelligent observation
should see the fair Another of the
same magnitude. instructiveness, beau
to and general attractiveness may not
cation season, q multitude of children
will want to view its wonders. but i'll
many cases the cost would be an OBJ
stacle. With the children thus provided
for. the number of parents visiting the
fair would also be increased. The Iowa
project Is full of promise and seems to
be in responsible and capable hands.
Full details of It's plans will be awaited
with interest In other states"
One can see that such a proposition
would meet with favor from many, and
particularly from well-to-do parents
who could be assured that chaperonags
would properly guard the youth.

AS TO PARTICULAR CHANGES.

Secretary Shaw, who is one Of the
most vigorous of present day leaders In
his opposition to any changes in the
tariff, and, we think, sincere in his
views, too said in a recent address:
"No one presumes to say that exist
ing conditions might not be improved
by a revision of tariff schedules, and
no one dare insure against their being
made worse. When the present tariff
law was passed it was said that it would
remain undisturbed for twenty-five
years. 1t is now nearly six years old
and some people have changed their
minds, and l am not prepared to say
unwisely, but before / join the chorus
/ would like to have the director an
nounce just what particular changes
he proposes to have made. and to give
specific reasons therefor"
1t is true that no one can insure
against business conditions growing
worse. Every change that men have
made in existing conditions since the
neolithic periods has been confronted
with the same obstacle. To ask for a
guarantee of better times before move
is made would forever bar all progress.
Capital might just as reasonably ask
for guaranteed profit before it invests
which would stop all investment. The
nations and the men who have gone
ahead in this world have been those
who had the courage to follow the die
tates of their Judgment, who were WILL
ing to risk the outcome of the policies
which they believed to be right, hence
1t is weak craftsmanship to argue that
I'VE must be insured of our result before
q move is made.
It Is likewise true that at the time
The Dingley law was passed it was said
and hoped that the tariff had been set
tied for long time to come, but 1t was
also true, as Senator Dolliver has
shown, that many a schedule in that
law was placed higher than either
Dingley, Mckinley or any other protec-
zionist ever believed to be wise. 1t was
Yhe undenied intention of the men who
framed the law tina. these schedules
should be traded down 20 per cent in
return for trade concessions in foreign
markets and President Mckinley en-

SUPPORTING RoosEvELrs APPEAL.

The chief aim of the trust legislation
now before congress is to prevent great
consultations and combinations of
commercial and industrial establish
ments and the merging of lines of COM
merce to a degree that will wholly
stide competition and place the people
at the mercy of those who would be
more inspired by greed than the public
welfare. Yet while thoughtful and
earnest men are giving this subject SER
ious attention in halls Of legislation, the
very thing which they hope to see frus-
trated is about to be consummated In
iowa, if reports are to be credited. 1t
isn't necessary to go into fiction for
subject. The proposed absorption and
division of the Chicago Great Western
line is here referred to. Various and
repeated statements go to show that
three lines are trying to secure 1.-THE
Rock Island, the Milwaukee and the
Northwestern Why do they seek to ac-
quire it? Because it is competitor, Il
free lance in independent railroad OPP
Grafton. The people of Iowa have
watched with pride and satisfaction the
constant growth and development of
this line. 1t has reached the position of
being a great railway system, connect
ing leading points of trade, and is still
extending its rails to other important
points. 1t has afforded shippers genu-
inc competition; and for this, It would
seem, it is to be blotted out and par
celed among other immense systems
that have learned how to pull together.
Could a more instructive instance be
given of the evil of sitting competition
than that proposed right here at our
doors?
Discussing this contemplated merg-
ing OF the four lines, the Clarion Demo-
crat says:
while in Chicago last Monday we
heard this same thing mentioned, and
was informed by man in the employ
OF one of those companies that the deal
would probably be made. He said he
knew that the matter had been under
consideration for some time, and had
failed to make only because the c. G. |
w. asked too high price for it's prop
erty, but that some of the prominent |
cdicials in the merger companies had
come to think that it would be better 70
close the deal even at double the mar
ket value, and that they were liable II
close the deal at any time. How they
could afford to buy great railroad
system at twice it's worth, and divide il
up among themselves, can readily be
imagined, but 1t will not make the
people along the c. G. w. think kindly
OF the change"
Like all others, the holders of this
stock have their price, and a purchase
may be concluded at any time. In view
of this what stimulus should be given
to a proper solution of this trust prob
lem at Washington. What can be done
TO meet the situation in the interest Of
the people and not to the serious in
jury of lines of commerce?
The people OF Iowa ought to be will
ing to support President Roosevelt in
his fresh. demand on congress for early
action ON this subject.
