SPEAKER CANNON HIS FRIEND
Frank stiilman in Sioux City journal
Tells of Judge Corners Stand
ing with Uncle Joe.

Judge Conner was made a member
of the committee on education and
labor under circumstances very similar
at the beginning of the Fifty-eighth
congress. Speaker Cannon was over
whelmed with applications for place
on this committee, but he was very
anxious as to the personnel of it, and
instead of selecting men from among
those making application he looked
over the list Of eligibles and made his
choice. The committee was complete
except for single vacancy. He did
not seem to be able to find the man
he wanted in the list of eligibles.
Then he surveyed the entire list.
When his eyes fell upon the name
..Conner, he stopped. "There IS
my man" quoth Uncle Joe.
But Judge Conner was on two good
committees and was not asking any
thing else, and when he was requested
to call at the speakers Office he had
no conception what was about to
happen. "Uncle Joe" said in sub
stance: s.Conner, l need another man
on the committee on education and
labor. and you are that man. ! have
assigned you to that committee, bu,

EDITo RIAL.
PATENT MEDICINE LEGISLATION

The Review has been requested bv
some of it's advertisers to oppose GER
tain legislation now pending relative
to patent medicines. The fact that
we have advertising contracts does
not influence the Review in the sligth-
est, we do however, see merit in the
contention that if forced to print their
formulate or to make it public prop
erty, the patent medicine man would
at once be the victim Of imitators by
the score. Every druggist would pre-
pare the medicine and by cutting the
rate a triAe drive every patent medi-
cine. no matter how meritorious, en-
tirely out of business. 1t is UNI
doubtedly true that there are many
fakes in this line and some medicines
that contain alcohol and poisonous
drugs to an injurious extent. These
should be driven out of business as
they rob the people not only of their
money but of their health.
The Review would favor a law COM
pelling the owners Of all patent medi-
cines wishing to sell their wares in
Iowa, to submit their formulate to
the State Board of Pharmacy. The
board should make investigation and
should issue permits for the sale, is
suing official labels which must APP
pear on each bottle. These labels
should be of three grades-lst, Non
injurious Sugar and water is now in
furious, and it is claimed is often pre-
scribed by physicians. End, Non-in-
furious and containing ingredients
known as proper prescriptions in dis
eases named. 3rd, Non-injurious if
taken as prescribed but contains
per cent alcohol or whatever the
deleterious drug may be.
Permits should be refused to any
injurious patent medicine and the
Board of Phrmacy should be required
under oath to keep all formulae Sc
cret, unless their action be called int
court at which time they should b
allowed to use formulate as evidence
showing upon what their decisio
was based. The cost of these permit
should be nominal, only enough t
cover the expense entailed, and tn
Borad Of Pharmacy should have tn
right from time to time to make sue
tests as might be thought necessar
to see that medicines were MANI
featured according to the formula
submitted.
We do not see how any vendor OF
meritricious patent medicine could Oh
iect to such law, rather we shou
think they would support it as tendir
to drive injurious fake competitit
from the state. The pharmacy boa
is the proper body to pass on SUI
permits. The State board of heal
composed Of physicians might we'll
supposed to be prejudiced but t
pharmacists handle both prescriptio
and patent medicines and it would
to their interest to be fair. If su
a bill were prepared the Review won
support it heartily and if it lost a
advertising thereby it would kne
that it was because the medicin
could not stand the test and tn
therefore it was better that they shou
not be advertised in the columns

The new fall styles of
The 13Delta'' Shoe, $3.50
for men and young men

If the Delta" pleased you before, it will
doubly please you in the new shapes that
have just arrived.
We have been able to correct some lit
tie faults that our practiced eye discovered
in the summer models. Not faults of max
ing. Not faults of style. Not real faults
at all, from the shoemaker's point of view.
But we have added little touches here
and there in the finishing that give more
style and distinction to the Delta" and
that make. it different from any other
shoe ever sold at S. 5o-and better, too.
The Delta" comes in gun metal calf and
patent cot-the feathers that will be worn
mostly by particular men; and they have
broad extension soles, which will please
the great host of young men. Large OBJ
long eyelets regular eyeets Button
lace styles; Butcher or regular cut.
In fact, the new Delta" has features
that make it more than ever "the snappy
kind" and we think our guess is not far
wrong when we say that it will be the most
popular popular-priced shoe that we have
sold.
The other Fall Shoe styles for men are
in, including the Hanan $500 and 5000
shoes, for which we have the sole agency in
Washington.

perity that I hope will never be eclipsed
by any issue that may arise
Under Associations Banner.

Lieut.. Jones pointed out that the number
of regiments to come under the banner of
the National Rife Association has increased
from sixteen to thirty-four. the third-class
military organizations from fourteen to
twenty-five and civilian rife clubs from
twelve to forty. Altogether the number Of
affiliated organizations has. in one year, in
creased from forty-nine to one hundred and
eight. Such practical returns, the secre-
tary said, give great satisfaction to those
who have labored for years to bring it
about. against odds that at times seemed
insurmountable.
The national board for promotion of rifle
practice is a result Of the associations
activity at Washington. according to Lieut..
Jones. Continuing, he said:
by another year we hope to get our rife
club bill passed by Congress. providing for
a limited issue of ammunition ard rifles
to rife clubs. AS the association increases
grow for suggesting and shaping legisla-
ton for the advancement Of rifle shooting
in the United States, and incidentally pro-
noting the-doctrine of peace through max
that nations will think twice before pro-
voking us. With million good rifle shots
ready to respond to the nations call, we
shall be all but invincible on land.
Begin With the School Boys.
ITO bring this about we must begin with
the school boys. A beginning has been
made this year along these lines. both at
Creedmoor and at this meeting. which
hope will grow until we see in this country
what have seen at the Bisley meeting
teams of school boys representing $50
schools striving for supremacy, using the
military arm Of the country"
Lieut.. Jones asserted that the prosperity
Of the association is due. in q easure, to
the assistance and cooperation he has 70
ceived from the state secretaries, among
them being Major James E. Bell. inspector
general of rife practice, District Of Column
bia militia. In each of twenty-five states
there is secretary working in harmony
with the general secretary and keeping the
association in touch with what is going on.
Lieut.. Jones says it is pleasant to record
the feeling of the military authorities Of
the states toward the national association.
and the way in which majority of them
have extended a welcoming hand. For
instance, the Michigan state military
board, at recent meeting, adopted a reso-
luton setting forth that any rifle club
affiliated with the National Rifle Associa-
ton be allowed to use any Of the ranges
of the Michigan National Guard.
; Interest In rifle practice. in the opinion
of Lieut.. Jones, is. now thoroughly estab-
lished. and he says that with the $500, 600
a year which the states are to spend, the
work is bound to broaden and rapidly
grow in volume.

Large Number Of Contestants.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Large Number Of Contestants.
The annual matches Of the National Rife
Association Of America and Of the New
Jersey State Rife Association, which were
brought to a close Monday, SO as to permit
the opening of the national matches Tues
day, in attendance and in the high stand
ard Of scores made surpassed all others
ever held in the United States. In fact
the number Of contestants so far exceeded
the facilities provided that some Of the
matches were postponed from day to day,
and the Presidents match for the military
championship of the United States was SO
curtailed by the elimination Of the 1000
yards stage that dissatisfaction was evil
denced by many Of the experts. whose
knowledge Of long-range shooting was
naturally expected to bring its reward at
that distance.
1t is claimed that the new directors of
the National Rife Association Of America
are men who represent states in which
interest In rifle practice has recently re-
ceived q strong impetus, and such addi-
tions to the board are expected by many
to make the association truly national in
character.

National Rife Association matches Of 1907
was with the proviso that the national
matches should also be held on the same

ton meet

Great Strides Made.
Lieut.. Albert 8. Jones. secretary of the
National Rifle Association Of America
speaking of what the association is doing,
and what it hopes to do. explained that the
present organization was effected six years
ago In the club house on the range here.
At first it was called the League of Ameri-
can Rifiemen. but later the name was
changed to the National Rifle Association
of America. and 1t absorbed the defunct as
sociaticn charter, trophies and all, not to
forget the life members, whose interests
were thus protected.
1.-THE great strides toward a strong ma
tional association that have been made in
the last six years." Lieut.. Jones added,
"can hardly be appreciated by those who
were not in the work at that time and con-
versant with the obstacles that were met
on every side-the indifference and the lack
of funds. Like the morning sun coming up

In progress at least two days. Conjecture
Is the rule in the Districts portion of the
big camp today. The members of the de-
tachment are wondering just how it hap
pened as regards the national team match,
concluded late yesterday. When the last
shot in the match had been fired and the
statistical officer got busy 1t was figured
out that the District stood sixteenth among
the forty-one competing teams.
The consensus of opinion seems to be that
one reason for the drop was the poor quail
ity Of the government ammunition espe-
e:ally in view of the fact that the best
Appleby. one of the Districts stand-bys,
could do at 1000 yards was % out Of 80.
Attention Is also directed to the fact that
Capt. Semon of Ohio, who won the VIM
bIedon cup match, the conditions being ten
shots at 1000 yards, with a score Of 46 out
of 80. none Of his shots being less than q
four, made twelve successive misses, fall
ing to hit the target with his two sighting
shots and his ten shots for record at 1OO0
yards In the national team match. There
were numberless similar instances and the
District folks argue that the ammunition
and not the men was at fault. Ohio,
which won third prize last year, dropped
to twelfth place yesterday because of the
unaccountable slump of its very best men.
The fact that all four of the service teams
finished among the six prize winners was
largely due to their proficiency in sRir-
mishing The most noticeable drop was
by New York, which had thrice won the
ma tional trophy, from first to fourth place.
Some solace is taken by the District rifle
men in the fact that they finished ahead
Of twenty-five other teams.
High Scores on First Stage.
At the conclusion Of the first stage, 200
