THE sAcksL,plne OF DAVIS COUNTY.

A year ago Davis, one OF the ue1Ho-
cratic counties of Iowa, offered hope
and opportunity Of complete reclama-
ton by turning from the ways of po-
litical unrighteousness to give Roose-
welt 1.722 votes, against 1883 for
Parker. The county had been demo-
cratic mostly because it had fallen into
the habit When Roosevelts political
|manliness awakened Davis the
republicans swept the county, and in
the flush of victory the state the re-
publicans of the state counted Davis
as annexed to the party indefinitely,
and its reclamation as complete. 1t
now appears that we counted without
our host.
Why did Davis backslide? With the
Roosevelt influence stronger today
than it was on last election day, why
should the party fail to defend where
last year it successfully assaulted? The
reason Is not far to seek.
The death of Representative Prevo
caused special election to fill vacan-
CIV. John H. Curl, wealthy and
prominent farmer and an able man
of affairs, was nominated by. the re-
publicans. To oppose him the demo-
Gratis picked up young school teacher
named DeMar. Curl; who seems to be
typical of the reservation, promulgated
thru the newspapers his hatred of the
present state administration and his
opposition to state primaries. The
election returns show the result.
Curtis vote totals 7S4. Roosevelt re-
ceived 1872. D. A. Wickizer. repub-
lican candidate in 1908. polled 1.543.
Mr.. Curl appears to have struck the
wrong chord when he attacked the
state administration. Of which even Its
Interest enemies admit the clean-
handedness, and denied the demand for
state wide primary. And all this in
the reservation
Davis county backslid because the
republican party offered it less than
1t had right to expect from an or
ganization headed by Theodore Roose-
Welt. Democratic counties are not to
be gained or kept by denial of popular
rights or condemnation of men with
official records like that Of A. B. Cum
minis. Mr., Curl is to be commended for
his plain, outspoken statement OF his
position. The pity is that his stand had
not been more with Roosevelt and with
the people and less with the poll
ticians Of the reservation. Then
Davis county might have been repre-
sented in the legislature by repub-
lican.
Davis county. is an object lesson
that republicans in other and less
hazardous counties will do well to
heed. The ordinary voter is awake
and watchful. Opposition to his just
demands is a dangerous thing. Not
those who press for but those who
would deny popular rights are endan-
gering the future Of the party.

there is a satisfaction in walking the

are supposed to thrive here, the express
offices do ship In to this town many
dollars worth of intoxicating liquors.

the streets, he either goes home or is
locked up Some see no argument in
favor of town where people so

MORE SMOKE THAN FIRE.

Is the minister VINO uses topacco iii
slmoral? A Tennessee conference OF
the Methodist. Church South passed
RESOLUTIONS the other day that practic-
ally classes the tobacco using clergy
imam as an immoral man. To be sure
1.-THE resolution was offered and urged
stby peripateetic evangelist, one of a
class so radical as to become often alb
4 surd, but the majority of the confer
cence voted with him in classification
aof such clerical brethren as WOO the
Tweed.
There is prevailing sentiment not
tentirely confined to the church people
lagainst clergymen using tobacco, but
lfew, even of those who deplore the
1 practice, will agree with the charges OF
4 immortality against those who use it.
i THE habit is no more immoral in a
preacher than in a pewholder, or any
3other citizen. II the tobacco habit is to

gelistical resolutionist are away off or
years ahead In their sense of the Inn
moral. The resolutions are mostly

But, at best, the habit is useless
vice. We don't want our boys to
smoke and with characteristic incon-
isistency we criticise the preacher and
1.-The school teacher for setting "a bad
iexample before the children" while we
fcontentedly pun our own pipes or

refrain from use Of the weed will gain

OF moderate use of tobacco is all moon
shine. Some day dyspepsia may be an
evidence Of immoral eating, pie the
symbol OF immortality and the lunch
counter place for Christian men to
shun. but it is still too early to lump
al these. together as plain immortality.
There is still plenty of actual and out
breaking immortality wherewith the re-
iomers may busy themselves without
thus classifying the milder vices.

SHOOTING HARMLESS BIRDS.
Ipritt Tribune

Every little while some one will come
into town carrying dead pelican on his
shoulder as an evidence of his Prov
ess with a gun What in thunder
does any one want to shoot a pelican
for? They are harmless bird. feed on
fish. snails. frogs and tadpoles. They
are really scavengers and should be
protected by a 800 fine for killing them.
The breech loading shotguns in the
hands of a wanton hunter who shoots
but to end some birds life IS
an engine of destruction that is de-
stroying birds, no matter what kind.
There is no more sense in shooting
pelican than there is in going out and
killing toads. Both are harmless alive
and good for nothing dead.

SUBSIDIES AND THE BANKERS.

It fs not altogether unexpected that
4 favor a scheme for the taxing of the
i public to aid and make more profitable
| the investment of American capital in
/ the shipping industry altho there was
opposition to the suggestion in the
! committee counci1 OF the convention
and, the resolution was reported adj
! versely. Secretary Shaw's influence
and vigorous advocacy on the floor of
the convention by men primed and
prepared for the effort carried the day
for ship subsidies.
However, some things must be ex-
pisained away before the public will
look kindly upon scheme to subsidize
Investments Of capital by general tax
alton It is true, as Secretary Shaw
says, that we sidized railroads which
! built up our communities and we are
| now substituting interurbans by taxa
| ton for the same purpose. We got di-
| rect returns from these subsidies, and
are willing to do it again on the same
/ terms and undeH the same conditions.
h But there Is, a difference. We have
the Shipping. There is no lack of
Gtransportation facilities on the high
| oeas that will not respond to the needs
f1Of commerce. The only trouble seems
! to be that foreign capitalists invest in
the shipping industry almost to the ex-
! clusion of American capitalists. For
eigT capital, too, has been subsidized
. anto these Investments, but the propo-
sitie1i is, do we want to tax ourselves,
not so much to get more transporta-
tion, but to get our capitalists to own
the shipping in place of foreigners. The
bankers decided that we do. One Iowa
newspaper, however, has asked the
question, How about the Hollamders
who own the Great Western railroad,
and the foreigners who have invested
In the Milwaukee railroad? Shall we
tax ourselves to displace these invest
ments too?" and the question is a hard
one.
Ship subsidies, like railroad land
grants and protective tariffs are prac-
tically sound In policy so long as the
public receives it's quid pro quo. When
| railroads have built up a community
and the community has built up the
railroads to the point at which the
railroad begins to exact inordinate
profits on watered stock the public
has right to regulate in it's own in
terest and subsidies cease. When the
protective tariff has built infant in
dustries into billion dollar corpora
tions buoyailt with watered stock sup
ported by the profits Afforded by the
protective tariff it is time for the pub
lie to protect itself from a higher price
level than the protected industry
exacts from the foreign public. When
ship transportation is greatly needed

might stand for subsidies, but 1t must

A GOOD CLASS FIGHT.


The trough houses made by young
men who are attending our great high
schools and who are fitting themselves
for the higher walks of life, are a sur
vival of idiotic customs, that have
probably been brought from across the
seas. If they ever possessed signifi-
canoe. the meaning has long since been
forgotten, and they are simply and
solely welcome opportunities for CIV
ing vent to that excess Of animal spir-
its, that tendency to roughness and
rowdyism, which has been handed
down from ages long past. 1t seems
a bit strange that such folly should so
long survive and should take such firm
root in our country.
There was class fight a few days
ago at the University of California.

HOW 10 SLEEP.

SIT is great pity" said noted special
ist in nerve diseases, "that women viii not
learn and practice one Of the most important
lessons In maintaining health-how to sleep.
"Not ono person IN donea," eonen'sea
the doctor. 'skrUws the benefit to b derived
from good, wholesome rest, beeA,se they have
not vet mastered the art Of 'ietting co."
When you he down to sleep, Try TO relax
all the muscles Of your body and 10 perfectly
supple and loose. Do not caKt your hands
or assume constrained position expression.
Perfect rest ean only come after perfect
relaxation.
Ayery common result Of wrong sleeping,
IN oyer-worked and unrested women. IS tanE
ing of the womb, which is due to the muscles
and tissues Of that part Of the body being too
weak to do the work for which they were
intended-tiat is, Of holding up and support
ing the womb. :.
Once the womb has fallen, sleep alone Will
not pull it up. Cardui IS needed.
Now it may seem very small matter ior
one little organ, the womb. for instance, to
hang little lower than It should, but, If you
think so, you were never more mistaken IN
your life.
In point Of fact, the womb is the seat Of
woman's most important functions and Is
connected, by very sensitive network OF
nerves, with all the vital organs Of her body.
When your womb is out Of place, bent,
inverted or twisted, you suffer from headache,
bacleache, dragging sensations, inability to
work or walk, melancholy, irritability, pains,
ehals, fever, and general feeling Of sickness
and distress; and this is because womb dis
order affects all the other organs Of the body,
sympatheticaly.
The only safe thing for you to do, when
your system is disordered in this way, is to
take Wine Of Cardui. 1t will brace you up,
brace your womb up, and make you well.
Cardui, you know, is gentle, medicinal
tonic, of special benefit to women because its
ingredients act in curative way on the fe'
male organs and functions.
1t is pure, pleasant, plant essence. 1t
has no dangerous or deleterious ingredl-
ents. 1t can be taken with bene-
