Gov. Cummins still sticks to "Iowa
Idea" and says that no one has said
him nay. The Washington correspon-
dent of the Chicago Record Herald,
writing on Feb. "a, says:
No one in Washington has said a
word to me-" said Governor Cummins
of Iowa today, ''about having the re-
pubIicans Of Iowa change their tariff
platform next year. 1t would not make
any difference if they had. There are
people who do not agree with the re-
plank, but / have not met anyone in
Washington who has suggested that
we Iowa republicans should ''get IN

The Kansas legislature takes the cake,
says the Dallas News. 1t is composed
of 165 members, but has employed 800
officers to dance attendance upon it. 1t
has hired so doorkeepers to look after
four doors. There are sergeants at arms,
assistant superintendent of ventilation,
pages by the score and dozens more of
useless officials. Bleeding Kansas is
being bled by Kansans. To the vic.
tor belongs the public money.

William Randolph Hearst is to be one
of the speakers at the democratic Jef1er-
son Day banquet at Des Moines on
April 2. Speaking of him the Register
and Leader says:
Mr.. Hearst is man to be taken into
account in figuring on 1904. He is
young, and has brain, money and
energy, His visit TO Des Moines and
his speech and the Jefferson banquet
will have significance not only for the
democrats of Iowa, but of the nation.
The Jefferson banquet seems destined
to be an epoch marking event.

The recent wreck of the Grand Trunk

discussion. An old Illinois Central

to the Pullman cars. In the event that

in it. But whatever you do, keep out

SPORT OF THE AUToMANIAc.
Necessity for Laws Governing the Speed of the Automobiles.

From the Providence Journal
 The Massachusetts legislature of this year. after careful dellperation, passed Dill to regulate the use of automobiles and motor cycles. Il provides for the reg istering of machines and the licensing of their operators; 1t limited their speed to fifteen miles an hour on country roads and to ten miles an hour in cities or the thickly settled part of towns. The law was to go into effect on the 1st of Sep tember, and now before it has really had a chance to be tried and its workings ob- served the automobilsts, 1t is understood, are organizing to secure it's repeal at the meeting of the next legislature The reg istration of the machines and the number ing of them plainly, together with the li- censing of their operators for the purpose of identification. appear to be particularly obnoxious to those affected by these measures.
 This is thoroughly characteristic of the automaniac who wishes to indulge in his favorite sport of rushing through the crowded streets and over country roads at railroad speed without the slightest re- gard for the rights of other users of pub lie highways and then to evade any re- sponsibiity for the accidents he may cause by avoiding recognition. Such in dividuals can be restrained only by the setts law, as it now stands, is none too seets law. as it now stands, is none too strict and is far less so than the law which it has been found necessary to en- act in England and on the continent of Europe. Instead of trying to have this law repealed the automobilsts would do well to keep quiet lest worse thing hap pen to them,
 This organized effort to have the speed

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly,
 Painlessly, Without Danger.

People go along for years suffering with piles. They try this and that and the other thing from carrying a buckeye to getting treatment from a physician. They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but they are never quite cured little strain in lifting, excessive fatigue, lit- tie constipation or little diarrhoea and the piles come back
 They don't seem to amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite. No posi- tion is comfortable. There is intense local pain and that dreadful feeling of weight in the perineum.
 Maybe in the early stages some of the many salves on sale will afford tempor- ary relief. If the case Is of long sand ing there is only one speedy and suure remedy. It is Pyramid Pile Cure Even in light cases 1t Is the safest thing to use. Other applications may cure and may not. Pyramid Cure is always cer- tain, always reliable, always brings com fort at once. It's prompt use saves months of severe suffering In extreme cases 1t will save surgical operations. and their attendant dangers and dscomforts It is better than a knife. Will cure easier, quicker and safer. Thousands have used it. Thousands have been cured by it. The cost is trifling compared with what 1t does. The price is 30 cents. Most any body would gladly pay ten dollars to be rid of piles.
 All Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cures. Write Pyramid Drug O., Marshall. Mich, for their book on Causes and Cure of Piles, which Is sent free for the asking.

"A Chinese Honeymoon"

That picturesque. musical comedy "A Chinese Honeymoon" will be the attrac- ton at the Jefferson Theatre next Thurs day and Friday and Friday matinee
 In this melodious and merry musical comedy, with it's brilliant scenic and cos tune equipment, there Is large company headed by John b. Henshaw, as MT Pine apple "a much worried and still cheerful bridegroom. Mir. Henshaw, it is said. gets much fun out of the part Toby Claude the Eff is. says the New York Sun, "a little bit of Dresden China, and plays her role in a most interesting and diverting manner"
 Miss Stella Tracey, as Mrs. Pineapple, IS pretty, vlvacious and dainty and makes a decided hit. Charles H. Prince, is the Admiral, w. H. Clarke is the self-con- talned Emperor. Edward Lawrence is the Lord High Chancellor, May Ten Broecx assumes the role of the Official Mother ln-law These together with the eight handsome bridesmaids and large chorus have given "A Chinese Honeymoon" the name of the best musical comedy show" of this season.
 That "A Chinese Honeymoon is a sue cess the world over is easily proven by the fact that the London company is nearing the conclusion of it's second year at the Strand theatre. The New York Casino Company has passed it's 4O0th per tormance, and the Australian Company is nearing its100th performance, something remarkable in these days of over crowded musical productions, The costumes are said to be marvelously beautiful, parti- cuiarly so as they bar" tights and short dresses, and adhere to the usual styles worn in China at the present time Some ot the musical hits are .Roly Poly" 1T want to be a Lidy."
