THE IOWA PLATFORAf.

After waving the flag and pointing
with pride after the usual manner of
such documents, the platform built by
the Republicans of Iowa gets down to
business in great shape-if the reader
viii pardon this somewhat mixed
metaphor. It declares for a primary
election law which shall be wise and
5udicious" The details are left to be
worked out, but It must provide for a
direct primary for the nomination of all
officers elected in a general election and
TO express the party choice for United
states senator. It is wise plank on
that subject.
Another plank declares for the elm
.ination Of the corporation in politics
and in favor of stopping campaign con-
tributions by corporations.
A Republican legislature in Iowa has
already prohibited free railroad passes
in that state, and that act comes in for
commentator.
But the bone of contention that has
caused the great fight in Iowa has been
the Iowa idea'-whether the tariff
shall or shall not be revised. The stand
patters desire changes in the tariff, but
the tariff revisionists wish the tariff re-
moved from trust-controlled products
steel, lumber, paper pulp, and other
things. And the platform declares not
only for tariff revision. equally OPP
posed to foreign control and domestic
monopoly" but it also declares for re-
ciprocity. At the same time it advo-
Gates the principle of protection. In
other words. Iowa Republicans are in
favor Of protection for infant industries
and the workingman. but they are op-
posed to protection for the trusts-and
this is the attitude OF millions of the
American people.

CTAfNEINs, VICTORY.

Perhaps the most sign dcant po-
litical battle of the present year was
that which came to an end at Des
Moines this week in the denomination
of Governor A. B. Cummins for a
third term.
For several months the battle has
been waging, and 1t has attracted ma
tional attention; for its outcome IS
likely to have a decided influence on
the next congress with reference to
the revision of the tariff.
The people of Iowa have spoken de-
cisively IN the victory of Governor
Cummins They have demanded two
things-that the corporation get out
of politics and that the tariff be re-
vised.
And that is the temper of the ma
jority of the people all over the coun-
try. Iowa has always been a rock
ribbed Republican state, where every
family placed the tariff on a pedestal
in the parlor along with the family
album. It was something to be re-
vered and handled tenderly. It was
almost sacred.
But now that sentiment has
changed. The tarif has been dragged
out of the parlor and the people have
decided that it must be altered TO fit
the times. The principle of protection
must be preserved. but that part Of
the tariff that protects the trusts must
be thrown away.
1t was a great personal victory for
Governor Cummins. Not only was he
a candidate for third term, which
was decidedly against him. but prac-
tically all of the Republican leaders
of Iowa were fighting him. Among
them were Secretary Shaw, a cabinet
Official and most of the Iowa delega-
ton in congress. Not only the Iowa
corporations. but all of the great
trusts of the country that are aided
by the tariff were doing all in their
power to defeat him. Besides that he
was leading an attack on one of the
oId-time dogmas of the Republican
party.
Yet Cummins won.

Some people are eriticising a Chicago
physician for charging Marshall Fields
estate SEE. 600 for seven days medical at
tendance on the deceased millionaire.
But as the professional services of emil

fee a reasonable one?
Suppose, for instance, Marshall Field
had had a legal matter on hand as SER
ious to him as was his last illness-or
as nearly so as a legal matter could be,
for Of course no affair of that kind could
be as serious as a fatal illness. But
suppose he had q grave legal question

It requires just as much study to be

eminent lawyer. It requires just as
much brain power and knowledge-per

doctor as 1t does to be a good attorney.
Should not an eminent physician receive

HOW ALCOHOL Is Made.

A3cohol, usually the product, rather
educt, of fermentation, is made by
processes involving three steps. The
details differ in different countries
First, a saccharine fluid is prepared
by the action of dilute acids or aka
lies, diastase, or other engines on a
number of raw materials, like starch
from potatoes Gas in Germany, corn
Gin Anerica), or any cereal; sweet
potatoes, yams, cassava; sugar III mo-
lasseS, sorghum, beeg-rooI residues,
maize stalks, grapes, apples, pears,
peaches, figs, berries, mountain ash
berries, melons, gourds; cactus, honey,
milk, etc. Second, the mixture is fer
mented, by which step the sugar Is
converted into alcohol And third, the
alcohol is separated by distiIiation.
Roughly, 100 parts of starch or sugar
yield SO of alcohol. By-products are
obtained varying with the raw ma
terlal ferment, and other conditions.
