Phoebe Cousins Makes Break
Charges Whisky and Beer With Killing
Qualitiest
of the world

There is large able-bodied joi.e
floating around Washington on Phoebe
Cousins, the obstreperous lady from ST.
I.ouis who breaks into the newspapers
occasionally. Recently she attended
hearing before the Judiciary Committee
of the House on the Littlefield bill,
which proposes to head off brewers from
conducting a speakeasy business in anti
saloon territory under the shelter or
the interstate commerce law. Miss
Cousins appeared for the brewers, and
strenuously opposed prohibition. In
her argument, she declared that the
liquor business was blessing TO nu-
manity. as it killed off the weak and
aided in the survival of the fittest, thus
eIevating the human race. The brewers
threw a fit when they heard that talk,
and the liquor representatives fastened
to the. stenographer of the committee
and got him to cut out these particular
remarks of the lady. That is the rea-
son that this part of Miss Cousins ad-
dress does not appear in the printed
report of the hearings. The brewers
did not wish to advertise the fact that
their products killed off even the
weakest.

A Remarkable Document

The Prohibition National Committee
has forwarded to this Office sundry items
of interest, from among which we clip
the following as one of the very best:
"In 1884, Edward G. Delevan, founder
of the New York State Temperance So
ciety, produced the following document
to which he procured the signatures of
twelve presidents of the United States.
The document and names are as fol-
lows
"Being satisfied from observation
and experience, as we'll as from medical
testimony, that ardent spirit as drink
is not only needless but hurtful, and
that the entire disuse of it would tend
to promote the health, the virtue and
the happiness of the community, we
hereby express our conviction tnat
should the citizens of the United States,
and especially the young men, discon-
tinue entirely the use of it, they would
not only promote their own personal
benefit but the good of our country and
of the world"

Governor Cum1lins' Opponents Growing Des-
perate---Seek To hislead the People by
Malignant Charges Againt Him

In an article written in yes
terday's Times which bore the
notation Communicated" and
was not signed but from it's
tone had the appearance of
having sprung from the brain
of some railroad representative,
there appeared the greatest ag-
gregation of misstatements
that the writer ever saw crowd
ed into a similar space before.
1t says: Every farmer and
business man manifested much
surprise when within the last
few days their attention has
been called to the increase in
state taxes under Governor
Cummins.' To presume that
the governor of this or any
other state is responsible for
the taxes other than that of
the railroads is imposing upon
the credulity of the people. In
the first place the governor has
nothing to do with the eXpend-
itures of the state. as the leg
! islative bodies make all of the
appropriations, and further, he
has nothing to do with the local
assessments or levies as those
are fixed, as everyone knows,
by the trustees Of the different
townships or the councilmen of
the different cities and the
values therein placed by the
local assessors. The average
value given land i'm the state of
Iowa is but $4,000 per acre,
while at the same time land in
some parts of the state and in
Harrison county is selling as
high as $125.0O and $4,000 per
acre. Anyone who knows a
thing about assessments knows
that for the past twelve years
the state levy has been three
mills and this is fixed by the
legislature and not by the gov
ernor, SO if the state taxes are
greater it is owing to the in
crease in land values. 1t would
be just as consistent to lay the
blame of the San Francisco dis.
aster at the door of Mayor
Schmidt of that city as to lay
the increase of any taxes or
Harrison county land at the
door of Governor Cummins.
wish to call the readers atten-
ton to the fact that the legis
lature which spent the people,
money with such a lavish hant
used their efforts at every OPP
portunity to embarass Governor
dCummins during his admin
istration and the majority o1
them now would rejoice at his
political downfall. While il

incident in the article of yes
terday which was paid for by
the corporations at the rate of
five cents per line? If the
governor is friendly to the
railroads why did he advocate
a two cent fare and why did he
seek the passage of the anti
pass bill, which the railroads
fought him on to the last ditch?
If they love him Why does Jim
Blythe and Carroll Wright,
who manipulate the politics of
the two greatest railroads in
Iowa, fight him with a bitter
ness that knows no equal? A
few weeks ago saw a letter
which was received by a 10, al
railway attorney, written to
him 10y the chief council Of
one of the big railway COM
nanics of the state, that con-
l..i@ed this sentence: "Our in
terests will be the best served
y he election of Mr.. Perkins
as governor" Does that look
as though Mr.. Cummins was
he railroad companies hired
ma My last caution to every
,ot, i is: Do not be put to
light by any boomerangs flung
1T the last hour by the discour-
aged enemy but remain cool
md discharge your duty to
yourself, to your neighbor and
o your state by supporting the
fearless present governor in his
struggle for the people. Now,
Mr.. Editor, while l am writing
wish to avail myself of the
opportunity to nail a lie, a COM
non report that is generally
oeing circulated by the cheap
opponents of the governor, that
he supported Horace Boies for
governor in 1889 and 1891.
Governor Cummins has stood
before audiences all over the
state Of Iowa and told them in
words that could not be mis-
understood that he never by
voice or vote ever support !
Horace Boies or any other dem
ocrat for governor, and defied
Ibis enemies to challenge his
statements, and not to this day
has any of them dared to con-
front him with the charge. But
hey still persist in whispering
hat old threadbare lie into the
ears of old stalwarts, hoping
thereby to cause prejudice
against the governor. If the
statement was made that Geo.
Perkins supported w. j. Bryan
in 1896 it would be just as
Truthful as the statement that
Cummins supported Boies at
any time. j. B. Lyon.

fluence as to what the railway
corporations shall be assessed.
The article states that during
his administration the railroads
have had their assessments in
creased but $ll,OOO,0OO. That
is not true, for during the five
wears that Governor Cummins
has been at the head of the ex-
ecutive council the assessment
of the railroads has been in
creased S50.00O,00O per year,
or s250.00O,OOO during his five
years administration. The eX-
ecutive council meets this year
i'm August and those who are in
close touch with the governor
claim that he has expressed
himself as favoring an addi-
tional increase of S25OO.OO per
mile. If this should be done it
will increase still further their
tax payments S275,O00.OO an

years that Cummins has been
governor, land assessments

states that when the conven-
