in Iowa is a doctor doing identically the
same work and having great success
! The writer was in the Town last week
and found the doctor WAS treating fiji
| teen cases at that time and nearly all
successfully. This is not medicine

| told. 1t seems that a rich farmer, terri

! read somewhere of the use OF the
N-rays The farmer wanted the local
doctor to get one of the machines and
promised to pay for it. SO one of the
best was ordered ard tn" farmer footed
! the bill. And so successful was the
treatment that the farmers cancer was
cured. and then he gave the X-rays ma

forced on him big meG:ical fee. And
is good side TO humanity if you only
find it,
AS the day of the state republican
convention draws near one hears all
along the line the determination Of
many possible delegates to see to it
that the Iowa idea" is Incorporated in
the platform. OF course The writer has
been travelling of late in the Cummins
counties. where one can expect this sort
of Il thing. but when the Ohio repub-
lican state convention put "the Iowa
icea" into their platform a great big
satisfied expression was heard in many
places. In this connection it is remark
able the amount of attention 1.-The Iowa
idea is attracting all over the country.
Public Opinion. a journal that quotes
from all sources, in recent issue had
several columns on this subject
Possibly the president has been con-
verified to the Iowa idea" the New York
Evening Post Qnd) says; but we
should prefer to have such an assur-
ance from the president n person. His
only public references TO the subject, on
this trip, have been of n sort to pooh
pooh both the advisabili.g and the ne
cessty of tariff revision. He has
ranged himself with the pattest of the
stand-patters.' However, there seems
to be no doubt of the desires or inten-
tons of the Iowa republicans. They
hold their state convention next month.
and are expected to be more fat-footed
than ever in declaring for the excison
OF the injustices of the present tariff.
That Will give the president good
chance to say whether he is with them
or not" The Springfield Republican
also refuses to accept the Iowa report:
Governor Cummns is going to find 1t
as hard to convert his party into tar
iff reform agency as Mr.. Allison and
other western republicans found 1t
thirty years ago. The party converted
them, and not they the party; and Gov
ernor Cummins is even now in process
of being swallowed by the party while
hirnself that he is doing the
swallowing"
Taking the report we have referred to
at it's face value, the Providence Jour
nal Gnd.) says The compromise |
which is said to have been agreed upon |
may be such as to entitle the stand
patters to claim that they have by no
means lost everything for which they
have been contending. The president |
IN his tariff speech at Minneapolis on |
April certainly gave no sign that he
had been converted ct that time, and |
f this news from Iowa is true, Senator
Allison's platform will have great deal |
more to say In favor of tariff revision |
han Mr.. Roosevelt said on that occa-
sion. But this news is circumstantial

has by no means gone, glimmering' as
yet. and that with the popular support
which Governor Cumm:ns has behind
Tim he will be able to save at least
from the wreck of his hopes
which the stand-patters have been
eeking to bring about
1t is noticeable that the wet coun-
les of Iowa are really we'll named for
he past two years. And so it is of the
dry counties, generally speaking.
some of these conditions can be eN-
,lained by the river counties being the
mes most afflicted with both floods and
sloons. Still it is not yet safe thing
C assume that where prohibition is still
n force in Iowa there one escapes the
anger of too much water.
