IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Secretary Shaw is credited with
shrewdness, by a Washington CORES
pondent in showing opposition to the
tariff policy Of the president. "Abcut
as shrewd," suggests the Cedar Rap
inds Gazette, 'as it would be for a
mule to go to sleep on a railway
track"
AS the Waterloo Courier has it fig
ured out, Secretary Shaw's political
future is bound UP for veal or for woe
with standpatters of the party. He
is believed to be receptive candidate
at least for the republican nomination
to the presidency in 1908, and his
strength must be sought among those
protectionists who believe that revis-
ion of the tariff is not only unneces-
sary, but would be attended by an
unWarranted and dangerous disturb
ance of business. It is known that
President Roosevelt does not entertain
this view, and, therefore, in view of
all the conditions attending the mat
ter" the Courier thinks, ut is highly
probable that after March 4 next, Iowa
will have but one cabinet representa-
tive"
The vinton Eagle says: "Mr. Payne.
editor Of the Nevada Representative

ton amendment six months too late to
make reputation. It Is strange that

THE EXPOSE" GRAFT.


THE EXPOSE" GRAFT.
Newspaper reports Of the evidence in
! trial for damages, brought in neigh
boring county by an ex-priest, for dam
ages against a mob Of enraged Roman
Catholics, who abused and maltreated
him, following one Of his lectures Eek
posing Catholicism" put the prosecu-
tor In q bod light. II the special reports
Of his own evidence are correct, the
ex-priest testified that he was in per-
feet health when the assault referred
to was committed, and on cross-exam-
nation admitted that two weeks pre-
yious to the trouble he had testified in
m action for damages against rail-
way company that he was in a state
Of nervous collapse and his physical
condition very bad. His own testi-
mony showed that the arm he claimed
had been broken by the mob had never
been set by surgeon and had been
treated at home with linirnent. The
most discreditable matter developed in
his cross-examination was in connec-
ton with his home for ex-priests al
legged to be conducted in another state.
e was shown that 1t had never had
but one inmate, and that one staid less
than week.
Hunting the tiger is a. delightful

and the tenth one doesn't come. If their
history is traced and their obpects
analysed, the inquiry usually develops
knave and q graft.
These exposures are generally
false and Invariably obcsene. They jar
on decent people. Few OF us. however
widely we may differ in religious con-
viction. are ready to believe that a
great church that counts our neighbors
and friends as its communicates, Is
organized about Righteousness; that
the kindly men. who guide it's desti-
MES are libertines and the gentle wom-
en- whose touch is charity, are vile.
Time was when exposures of Mason

and people crowded to hear and believe
that the most widely spread fraternal
society in the world guarded Its Sc
cret work with murder. No doubt there
have been Free Masons who were MUIR
derers, priests that were libertines and
women unfaithful to their vows. The
history of the benef1cent protestant
churches holds similar instances, but
the expose" that charges any Of these
crimes upon the churches or the fra
ternal Organization referred to, or it's
kindred organizations, is always untrue
and its promoter a falsifier.
The 'ex-priest" is not likely to get
much in damages. His deserts do not
appear to reach beyond an invitation
to leave town and remain away indefl-
nitely, but the men who assaulted him
should not escape scot free. If it can

A Bridal Four O'clock Tea.

Mrs. Herbert J. Hodge gave a de-
lightful four O'Clock tea yesterday
afternoon to 26 young ladies in honor
Of Miss Carrie Johntz. The rooms
were decorated with spring flowers
while the lily Of the valley and brides
roses adorned the beautiful table.
The bride elect poured the tea using
handsome array Of dainty china
cups in many odd designs placed be-
fore her, not discovering until later
that each was gift Of one OF the
guests and all were bestowed upon
her. A pretty feature Of the occasion
was the proposal of q beautifully word
ed toast Of good wishes by the hostess
which was fully appreciated by the
guest Of honor and was echoed by the
party. The arrangements were
marked throughout with exquisite
taste and the event will long be re-
mem bered.

TO PARTIES ON HANDCARs.
Manchester Young People Take All
Kinds of Chances.

MANCHESTER, April 16.--The pri'
vate car fad has a rival in this town
where the young folks borrow Santa
Fe handcars for their trips to parties.
A handcar load Of young folks went
to Vine Creek Saturday night to at
tend a dance, and while returning
early Sunday morning Miss Bertha
Trickel narrowly escaped being seri-
ously injured. She was standing
near the edge of the car, which was
running as fast as armstrong power
could make it, and in some manner
her foot was caught between the
wheel and woodwork. The foot was
painfully bruised, the heel Of the shoe
preventing the foot from being
crushed. Miss Bertha was laid up
for repairs all day Sunday bat was
able to hobble around next day. As
Bertha's sister Mary fell from q hand
car and was badly hurt while coming
from Longford one day last summer,
it appears to their friends that this
should be warning to the girls to
cut out handcar excursions.

Many thin persons wonder why
they cannot get fat. In very few
cases thinness lie not because too little
food is eaten, but because the food
fails to be assimilated and does not
properly nourish. A little food
thoroughly assimilated is better than
a great mass Of food that is undi-
gested and passes through the sys-
tenn without nourishing.

ing food when used little while,
