ask you which one was the most SEN
sihly dressed? 1t is needless TO do 50.
The only possible excuse for woman
wearing a long skirt on the street Is to
cover up her feet. What nonsense
Who cares how large a woman's feet
are? In nine cases out of ten they are
in proportion to her body a very nee
cessary arrangement of nature. long
skirt might cover a pair of ragge5
shoes, but we believe the sacrifice OF
the cloth in the skirt would soon save
enough to buy new ones in case this
was the reason for the long skirt We
believe that woman should dress ac-
cording to her work How often have
you seen woman wash days. with her
skirt wet three or four inches from
the bottom, dragging around dead
weight and an intolerable nuisance. 1t
her working dress was to her shoe tops
how much more comfort for her. We
like to see we'll dressed woman little
better than anything else we know Of
but we fail to see the necessity for
woman trying to wipe all of the to-
bacco spit and fifth from our streets.
for the reason 1t does no good and she
is the worse for it.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The North Carolina republican con-
Nention seems to have made fadlcal
departure from the traditions of the
party when in it's session lately held
at Greensboro it declared for the ex-
tension of the famous GRANDFATHER
clause" in the North Carolina election
law This law is a makeshift to pre-
vent illiterate colored men from vot-
ing while permitting the white litter
ate to exercise the franchise. Without
any doubt the educational test has
been so applied even among negroes
able to read and understand a section
of the constitution as to disfranchise
iffcations would, under just construc-
ton of the law, permit them to vote.
The white man, however, has not been
barred from the polls by any lack of
qualifications. He has voted because
his father or grandfather bore arms
for the southern confederacy or for
some other reason equally righteous.
The fact that the North Carolina law
in it's limiting clause makes the edu-
cational test applicable to all races and
forces whites as well as blacks to be
able to read and write if they are to
vote after 1908, makes the action of the
North Carolina republicans more no.
ticeable.
Northern people have realized some-
what of the difficulties Of the south
facing negro illiteracy and negro SOL
idarity. The main criticism offered
against the Acknowledgement laws of
the south has beerf-upon the evident
desire Of southern politicians to de-
stroy the ignorant vote they could not
control and retain one equally ignor-
ant that they could direct by custom
and appeals to prejudice. Few, even
in the north, are ready to assert that
the densely ignorant negro of the
south is fitted or entitled to vote, but
as few fail to see the injustice and
danger of denying the franchise to
one and granting 1t to another quite
as ignorant upon no better reason
than color.
The negro has long ago, and properly
ceased to be the special ward of the
republican party. 1t is pretty generally
admitted that he received too much
in the days of reconstruction and has
been unable to carry the-burden Of
citizenship loaded on his shoulders at
the close of the war. Ignorant, illit-
crate and worthless colored men are
unworthy of the ballot. So are ignor-
ant. illiterate and worthless white men
and it will shock republicans Of the
older school especially to see repub-
lican convention, even in North Car
DINA, favoring race discrimination.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
sucoess Of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that IL
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands OF Ameri-
can women have been restored To
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound. Their letters are on lille
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
Of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments;
Nfhv has lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished sucn
widespread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter OF
century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power OF Lydia y.
Piakham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
canse It is stimulant-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because 1t is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
stcuctor ever discovered to act directly
ur,on the female system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, baclSache'
bloating Tor fatulence), weakness, DIS

that bearing down feeling. dizzi-
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the serl-
GUS consequences. and be restored &c
health and strength by taking Lydia r.

way write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for advice. It's free and aAways

Which Road1


ff you could 80 back to the forks Of the
road.
Back the long miles you have carried
the load,
Back to the place where you had to de-
eide
BY this way or that through your life to
abide,
Back of the grieving and back of the
care
Back 10 the place where the future was
fair
II you were this day that decision to
make,
o brother in sorrow, which road would
you take?
Then suppose that again to the forks
you went back
After you'd trodden the other long track,
After you'd found that its promises fair
Were all delusion that led to snare
That the road you first travelled with
signs and unrest,
Though dreary and rough. was most graz
oiously best.
With balm for each bruise and a charm
for each ache

you take?

what do Rock Island officials or train

CAMPAIGN FUND ECONOMY.

The Sioux City Journal, still discon-
ISOLATE and unreconciled, is not 1t
would seem, pleased with the electlon
Of Mr.. Wood to the craftsmanship OF
the state central committee. Among
other sarcastically conceived thrusts
It inserts the suggestion that the com
mittee as organized will find strict
economy necessary.
This is true enough. Economy viii
be necessary in the campaign. 1t was
necessary in the preconvention cam
paign 10 far as the progressives were
concerned. Such contributions as
made up the meager fund OF the pro-
rressives came from individuals and
not from corporations. These contrl-
buttons were small and the free will
offerings of. private purses. Men VINO
are supposed to know estimate that
Mr.. Blythe collected 100000 for use
in Ed Hunters campaign against
Cummins. It was opposed by the 50
and $40 contributions of men who ex-
pected nothing In return except
square deal in state administration.
I when Mr. Blythe was desperately en-
deavoring to beat Garst in order to
.have something to show, progressiVes
were not worrying over the contribu-
q tors to their campaign fund Surely
economy was necessary and was prac-
ticed. The Cumnins committee was
not in the market for purchasable men
or delegations. 1t really didn't need
the money.
1t will be so in the state campaign.
The yelled threat that corporations
will not assist the republican campaign
fund in Iowa this year has been ante
dated by expectation. No one has
looked for such assistance. II corpor-
ations still have money to spend fight
ing Cummins it will go to the demo-
Gratis 1t will be wasted, however as
asit was wasted in the preconvention
campaign. Neither corporations nor
money can largely cut the Cummins
majority, Election is a case OF Aus
tralian ballots, not caucuses.

CEDAR RAPIDS SORE"
-IMt. Vernon Record

We scarcely believe the Cedar Rap
ids men who voted against Billy Hask-
ell for member of the state central
committee fully realized what they
were doing. They have got the people
back home sore on them, really an
CRY. The people at home cared good
deal more for Cedar Rapids that they
did in~allowing. Bernard Murphy to run
the district, and they are whetting up
their knives. They say, and rightly,
that if Haskell had been elected the
next convention would have come to
Cedar Rapids, but instead of that these
Cedar Rapids men voted for a man
who voted against Cedar Rapids as a
place to hold the convention this year.
