HEpBURN's DEFEAT.

Col. Hepburn is the worst defeated
man that ever introduced bill into
Congress. For two years past he has
completely blocked legislation on the
transportation question until the coun-
try has been aroused from ocean to
ocean.
The president in his message reflected
public sentiment when he demanded
that the railroad commissioners be
given power to fix reasonable rates and
at last Col. Hepburn, the chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Co nmittee,
was Compelled to act. He finally intro
duced bill on the subject and declared
that he had been all winter at work Oh
the measure. He pleaded for time. He
declared he was being "hounded" by a
lot of demagogues. He wanted to ma
ture a measure and when he introduced
the measure he declared it had the APP
prevail of the president.
The people were astonished. His bill
was the most gigantic farce of the age.
1t was bill intended to obstruct and
prevent the people from getting what
they wanted and was not in line with
the presidents message at all.
Under it's provision no relief could
have possibly been obtained except
after years of litigation over each com
plant. A storm of protests went up
from every quarter. The bill was de-
nounced by every manufacturers and
farmers association that had meeting.
State legislatures refused to endorse it.
The governor of Col. Hepburn's own
state denounced it in public meeting.
Petitions went into Congress from every
quarter denouncing it and Hepburn S
own committee at last refused to father
it. Col. Hepburn never had better
chance to make himself popular with
the people. He could have taken up the
| fight for fair rates and opposition to re-
bates and secured the passage of a bill
that would have taken his name dowr
in history as one of the able and honored
statesmen of the age, but his well-knowr
corpora ton proclivities induced him to
stand in the way of the avalanche until
he was overwhelmed and he went dowI
in an ignominious defeat second only tc
that defeat which he met in this dis
trict when Major Anderson defeated
him for Congress.
You can not change the spots of the
leopard nor the skin of the Ethiopian
Col. Hepburn is joined to his corpora
ton idols. He wears the corporation
collar and it is time that this, one o.
the greatest and best agricultural dis
tricts in the state, should have maj
in Congress who will not continually
misrepresent them.
If the republicans put up such mar
he can no doubt be elected at the mex
congressional election but if they agai1
put Hepburn forwarc there will be some
man found who will defeat him. Thous
ands of republicans will join with the
democrats in electing such man.

WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
IOWA?

Congressman Hepburn, author of the
railway rate bill, has been hanged in
effigy at a meeting of Iowa farmers,
some of whom were from the congress
mans own district.
What is the reason for an outburst
like this?
What is the matter with Iowa?
Nothing is the matter with Iowa.
The trouble is with Mr.. Hepburn and
the other members of the Iowa con-
'gressional delegation. No state in the
union is more misrepresented in con-
gress than is Iowa.
Governor Cummins and his followers
were among the first to raise the de-
mand for revision of the tariff. The
state is overwhelmingly in favor Of
revision. The states senators and
representatives in congress, however,
are just as overwhelmingly, opposed to
it. Hepburn, Hull, Cousins, Lacey and
others, all strong men, are among the
leaders of the stand-pat element.
The rank and file of both the leading
parties are in favor of railway regula-
ton. Governor Cummins won his posi-
tion in holly contested fight against
the railroads. The people of Iowa want
congress to pass at once bill giving
adequate powers to the interstate COM
mission. The congressional delegation,
however, is almost unanimously opposed
to such legislation. It's members are
eager to do the bidding of the railways,
regardless Of, the wishes of the people
to whom they owe their positions.
The people of other states should not
be fooled by the attitude of the Iowa
congressman. The matter is with the
congressman, not with the people. The
storm is breaking in Iowa and there is
good reason to think that in the next
congressional election some radical
changes will be made in that states
representation at Washington.-Mil-
waukee Journal.

CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
One Weeks Use of Hyomel Did
More Than Six Months Treat
ment by Specialists.

In the treatment of deafness which is
often result of catarrh Hyomei acts
almost Immediately upon the inflamed
membrane and the hearing begins to
return at once. A few days treatment
will bring relief, and in three or four
weeks according to the severity of the
case, cure will be accomplished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y, says:
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. l have
used it but short time and see great
change in my condition. My hearing is
improving rapidly, and had no idea l
would improve so rapidly in so short a
time. My breath which was so offensive
to myself and others, has lost it's bad
odor entirely. ! have spent great
deal of money with catarrh specialists
and can truly say that six months of
their treatment is not equal to one
month of Hyomei."
L. Van Werden is selling Hyomei upon
the unusual plan of agreeing to return
the money if the medicine does not
cure.
A complete outfit costs only s1.CO
and consists of an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei, The
inhaler will last lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for so cents. Compare
this small expense with the fees
charged by specialists and then remem-
Der that if Hyomei does not cure l..

WHAT FOOD ECONOMY MEANS

Economy in food does not imply pro-
hibition. It is neither vegetarianism,
fruitarianism, nutarianism, or any kind
Of ism" 1t means simply temper
ance i'm diet with the application of
available scientific knowledge; the use
of reason and intelligence, combined
with a due appreciation of the dignity
of the body and the necessity Of meet
ing the daily wants without imperil-
ing that high degree of efficiency which
helps TO render man physically and
mentally supreme. Practically this inn
plies the avoidance of the large ouanti-
ties Of proteid food so commonly made
use Of by civilized man, with the sub
stitution of a dietary characterized by
a predominance of the lighter vegetable
foods. In this respect it leans some
what toward vegetarianism. The
heavier meats of our daily diet can be
advantageously replaced in part by
lighter articles of diet less rich in
proteid and with more frequent addi-
tion of green vegetables, fruits, and
corresponding articles of food less
prone to yield Objectionable decomposi-
ton products.

PARK BOARD ASKED
TO AID FREE zoo
Some of the Members Did
Not Favor Making a
Contribution

A special committee from the Whining
ton Free zoo Association. applied to the
Board of Park Commissioners yesterday
for financial aid to assist in building VIM
ter quarters for the animals. The COM
mittee was composed Of Robert Penning-
ton, DR.. James II. Morgan and IL. r.
Price. William p. White. chairman of
the finance committee of City Council and
an ex-onicio member OF the Park board,
presented the committees communica-
tion.
After the communication had been read
S. II. Baynard. a member Of the board,
spoke in behalf Of the zoo and of the
pleasure It had afforded to thousands OF
persons. He thought that it had made
the park more attractive than it ever was.
Councilman White said that IL was the
concansus Of opinion among the men,
bers OF City Council that something
should be done for the Zoo, but that
Council was unable to make an appro-
priation 10 a private corporation. II be
ing on park land and park attraction
Council thought that the park board
II
might render aid.
j. Newlin Gawthrop and George s
Capalle. members Of the park board, did
not seem to favor making a contribution
Mr. Gawthrop said the question was
whether the park board wanted to go into
the business Of exhibiting animals. and
If not. TO stop what might prove an ex-
pensve thing.
It was not felt by the members Of the
board that it could spare money TO bc
expended I'm this direction. Mr.. Baynard
was questioned relative to the possible
cost Of winter quarters, and he thought
that suitable house could be built foI
$780,
I II was finally decided TO leave the mat
ter to the executive committee for con.
sideration. but not with power to take ac.
tion.
Mr. Baynard asked that the board give
permission to erect the building providing
the zoo could get the necessary funds, but
as some of the members We're absent, his
request was laid over.
