5 LADOKER.ON IN IOWA !


isldora. Feb. l2.-There's going to be
some politics" In Hardin county this
year. Not along the line of the Cum
minis and anti-Cummins divisions for
there's hardly Il corporaPs guard OF
standpatlers in Hardin county, and If
the minority have any hand In state
politics ii will be by the courtesy of
the ma iority. and that's doubtful. But
in county politics there'll be some
thing" doing Readers of the daily
papers viii remember that two years
ago, an Independent movement was
successfully carried out in Hardin
county and incidentally the indepcnd
ents and democrats won some county
Offices Sheriff Mitterer headed the
scribe went this week to get posted.
Said the T.-R. man: II understand
you are candidate for reelection"
Yes. sir was the reply. II am u
candidate subject to the republican
primary" And asked the writer. sup
posing you are defeated Mt the republic
can primary, shall you run as an in
dependent candidate again? No, sir
/ am stalking all on the primary aud
if defeated. that's the end of it." But
your enemies say you will try at the
primary, and If you fail there will run
independent rs heretofore. said the
interviewer Eyes. l expect that kind
of talk" remarked Mittercr. but am
ready III necessary to put up n hundred
thousand dollar bond that I'll submit
to the decision of our county primary.
I'm a republican. and don't want any
more Independent business"
Now ii will be news To many right
here in IIldora that Mitterer is can
didate for re- selection. He has had the
office five terms. but there's bit of
philosophy in his reasoning. which he
expressed to the writer two years ago.
He said then and virtually says 1t now.
if the people of this county don't want
me for sheriff another term, they Will
say so election day.
Sink" Rogers, OF Union, has been
urged to be Il candidate for the same
office He said to the writer, he had
not fully decided what to do in the
matter but If he entered the race pro-
posed to give them a run for their
money Both of these candidates will
be somewhat hampered in the coming
among the independents two years
ago Especially will the straight ticket
men try to down Mitterer. They Meth
err forgive nor forget his methods and
success two years ago.
Already Representative Weldons
successor is talked of. He. too rode
into office on the Independent wagon
and while there Is no disposition to
criticise him personally on his acts as
legislator still quite an element is dis
posed to make this his first and last
term. Henry Chaplin OF Union is more
frequently mentioned than anyone else
by this element as the candidate for
the next representative. But Mr..
Chaplin, so he told the writer has had
all he wants in politics. He didn't
say so, but If the honor comes to him.
in the writer's opinion, 1t will come

STATE EMPLOYMENT OFFICES.

ouHtE IWT IOuWINb
Bills introduced in both branches Of
the Iowa legislature by Representa-
tive Calderwood and Senator Hay
ward, have for their object the estab-
lishment of state employment offices.
The idea is to establish bureaus in
the cities of Iowa, all to be controlled
by the state bureau and all to report to
the state commissioner. A fee of SO
cents will be charged by those seeking
ed in case position is secured for the
applicant.
The idea of a state employment bu-
reau is not new one New York long
ago adopted it, Illinois has had the
system in operation for some years
and Minnesota more recently has
adopted it. In the states mentioned it
has been fairly effective. The bills
before the Iowa legislature are modi-
fications and adaptations of the laws in
the other states mentioned. If the
Iowa plan has an Objectionable feature
it is the SO cent fee which is to be re-
funded in case work is secured for the
applicant. 1t might be argued that
the state is equally iterested with the
applicant in finding him employment
in desperate cases and that
the unsuccessful applicant needs the
so cents much more than the one who
secures refund. Essentially the state
agencies should be abso-
lutely free. However, the SO cent fee
makes them practically so.
Certain secret and fraternal orders
have long practiced finding employ
ment for their members out of work
The knights of Pythias lodges by
consent act upon requests
from one to another and seek situations
for members lacking employment. The
name, trade or common employment
of the member desiring assistance is
from the appealing lodge to
others. His qualifications are fairly
set forth and in most cases he finds
work. 1t is a plan that especially in
the larger cities has been extremely
helpful.
State employment offices, if insti-
tuted, may be made an excellent thing
in the economy OF the state. We are
all interested in the idle man. He con-
sumes without producing, bears the
labor market is a drag and burden
Find work for him.

A TEST
Sold Hyomei for Years and Know It
VIII Cure Catarrh.

Sold Hyomei for Years and Know It
Will Cure Catarrh.
Mcbride & Will have given Hyomei
a most thorough and remarkable test.
For long time they have offered to
refund t money to any purchaser of
Hyome, if it failed to benefit.
The remedy has made so many cures
among their customers that they have
urged its use in the most chronic
cases OF catarrh.
Breathed for a few minutes four
times day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes
the irritated mucous membrane of
the nose, throat, and lungs, kills the
catarrhal germs. and restores complete
health 1t is healing, anti-complete
health
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81. and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the pocket or
purse. and will last a lifetime, med
icine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei.
If this is not sufficient for a complete
cure, additional bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with
the fees charged by specialists, and
remember, too, if Hyomei does not
cure Mcbride & Will will return your
money.
II not convenient TO obtain Hyomei
from Mcbride & Will or some other
druggist. it will be forwarded from the
laboratory by mail on receipt of price.
