The issue is right there-it is
in the Iowa idea" the policy
scornfully rejected by the Re
publican majority in Congress
and by the advocates of gone

Democrats should be shrewd
enough to take up that idea aud
push it for all it is worth, would
not the issue be clear enough?
AS eXpounded by Governor
Cummins and Senator Dolliver,
the Iowa Idea" means tariff
revision all along the line.

the free list, the reduction of
many schedules and the de-
mo!ition of schedules that shell.

We believe there are several
millions of Republican voters
who hold that view. What is
there in it that is ant Demo

Democrats could not consist

out the only chance for the
Democracy to recruit its ranks
from the Republican orgauiza-

Lou Dillon, the 2-Minute Trotter.

The queen of trotters. Lou Dillon, is
five years old, stands Isl hands high, and
weighs S0i pounds. She was bred at
Santa Rosa farm in California. Her sire
is Sidney Dillon, son of Sidney (2.19&D.
Sidney was by Santo Claus G.171a). The
dam of Sidney Dillon was Venus. The
dam of Lou Dillon was Lou Milton, sired
by Milton Medium (2.25l2). Milton Medium
was the son of Happy Medium, sire of the
dam of Nancy Hanks. Last year Willard
Sanders brought the Santa Rosa stock
farm horses east, and Lou Dillon was then
practically an unknown, although sac
was believed to have great possibilities.
Owing to the death of her owner, Henry
Pierce, Lou Dillon, with the other Santa
Rosa horses. was put up for sale last
winter. At this sale Mr.. c. X. G. Bill
ings of Chicago, an enthusiastic amateur
horseman, bought Lou Dillon for Sl2,5oo.
The campaign of Lou Dillon this year
in exhibition miles against time began at
Cleveland. where she trotted mile to
wagon in 2.06la. y week later she trotted
10 her record of 2.022i. She went against
that record ut Brighton Beach and made
the half mile in 50 seconds, but the adj
verse conditions kept the mile down to-
2033i. Then came the wonderful mile in
. minutes nat at Readville, Mass, the
last quarter being trotted in 20 seconds
fiat.
1t has taken fifty-eight years to bring
the worlds trotting record down to two
minutes. Record racing really began In
1915 when Lady Suffolk at Hoboken. \. j."
trotted in 2.291a. This record stood for
four years, when Pelham reduced it to
22S From then on until last week the
record was reduced by quarters, halves
and full seconds by Highland Maid
(2.27), Flora Temple (2.l92D, Dexter G.17lD,
Goldsmith Maid CID, Rarus (2.1SA) st,

Aug. II. 1892, at Chicago, Nancy Hanks
brought the bicycle sulky into use and
set the record at 2.O7i4, Ten days later
she cut this record to 2.O5i4, and month
afterwards trotted in 2.0i. AliX was the
next champion, going in 2.OSA, which
stood until 1900 when The Abbott cut half
n second from it, Cresceus first made a

The Remarkable Case of Caleb Powers.
[springfeld republican,

The remarkable phase of the case of ca
leb Powers who has just been sentenced
to death for the murder of Coy. Goebel of
Kentucky, is that in the two trials pre-
ceding the last one he escaped the death
penalty, receiving only imprisonment for
life as punishment. Powers, however,
kept appealing for new trial. In the
third one he entered the active defense
himself taking the stand and delivering
an address to the jury which is described
as skillful and eloquent. Yet this time
he has had the worst luck of his expert
encc. \ fourth trial is now asked. Pow
ers was secretary of state of Kentucky
and the shot that killed Gov. Goebel was
fired from his Office according to the be-
lief of three juries Doubtless, his politi-
cal influence has aided him in securing
so many trials, for the Goebel assassina-
ton was a tremendous political event in
Kentucky AS Powers has been in prison
three years on his life sentence it cannot
be said that " the laws delays have
made a mockery of justice in his case.
The number of trials he gets, however,
contrasts wildly with the lynch law
meted out to some offenders.

BY the use of radium, the mysterious
substance which scientists pronounce the
greatest discovery of modern times, Tillie
Spltznadel, a child of eleven, who for
eight years has been totally blind, has

fully restored, but she is able to distin-
gush moving objects and easily discern

an experiment of DIR. A. r. jenkins, of
the Marine Hospital service, and William

New York in using a combination of ra-
dunn and N-rays.

What the Oleo Law Has Done.
Rutland News. ]

The anti-oleomargarine law, for which
the late Congressman William w. Grout
of Vermont worked so assiduously and
successfully, has had one year of trial
1t has proved of remarkable benefit to
dairymen. In the year the oleo product
Of the country has decreased 55,lO4 lS3
pounds or about the equivalent of the
output of $50 average creameNes. The
law has earned for the dairymen millions
of dollars. one oleomargarine firm in
Chicago which persisted in violating the
law, was fined over twenty-eight thou
sand dollars for so doing. Others paid
heavy penalties. Although the produc-
ton of oleomargarine has decreased the
government, at ten cents pound tax,
receives considerably more revenue than
heretofore.

There are regions within our temperate

Rome once hourished and where fine
monuments of classic art and of an un-

To realize the truth of this, one needs
only to cross the ranges of mountains
that run parallel to the eastern coast of
the Mediterranean, and, avoiding all car

the barren country that lies between these
