IN BED WITH BLYTHE.

In the making of strange bedfel-
lows. misery has little advantage over
politics-if we use politics" in the
professional politicians understand
ing Of the word. Greed. selfishness'
and sels-interest bring about odd COM
binations. Selfish desire is an impulse
but slightly weaker than necessity.
The present political situation IN
Iowa is peculiarly illustrative and evil
dental of this fault in human nature
as applies to politics. In 1897 when
Mr.. Shaw tells us he was nominated
as a man ..unknown to 80 per cent
Of the voters" Matt Parrot of Waterloo
was the leading candidate for govern
or. In the last few days of the CAM
paign Judge Hubbard and Joe Blythe
discovered L. NJ. Shaw, the unknown
man" of Denison. PARROT was sent
to the slaughter house, and Shaw to
the executive mansion. OF this tragedy
that sent Matt PARROT to his grave
betrayed and disappointed old man,
stabbed in the house Of his friends,
LATE Young said in his Des Moines
Capital of June 2, 1900:
When the critical period. in Mr..
Parrott's campaign was reached ne
was astonished to find that the men
who had promised to stay with him
to the end were almost to man
scheming for the nomination of another
man. And SC. it was that one of the
cleanest, noblest men that ever blessed
the politics of Iowa was slaughtered.
The shameful casting aside of Matt
PARROT is only mite of the history
that the c., e. & G. political organiza-
ton has made in this line in the last
decade.
Political wrecks line the right OF
w-ay far down the years and If the or
ganization has concluded that Sena-
Tor Gears turn has come and his po-
litical bones will soon be whitening
with the others in the g" politicai
graveyard,
Mark now how self1shness and hatred
hustle misery for first place. It was
six wears ago that LATE Young was
telling the truth The Waterloo Re-
porter, the newspaper left by Matt
PARROT to his sons, then and thereafter
faced the Blythes and Hubbards in
defiant anger. Mark the change. The
PARROTS and Youngs have crawled
into bed with Blythe. where they lie
close and thick as three in bed ana
two in the middle" The political as
sassination of 80 is forgotten and for
given and the sons of the man VINO
suffered in the wreck on the @ right
of way" have forgiven those who
planned and treacherously accomplish
ed his political murder and stoop for
fayors from the hands that smote. Late
Young is working side by side with the
wreckers of 81. Something has changed
his mind. He is busy in the wrecking
business, throwing switches, display
ing false lights, warm in bed, compan-
liable, lying close. type OF the queer
bedfellow in politics.
why this transition from watchdog
to wolf from policeman to bravo. from
a guards uniform to a livery? The
same dangers exist today that existed
in 1897. The fight against corporate
domination in state and national poll
tics is at its crisis. Why are these
men and newspapers whose past is
pledge against the railroad bosses, now
snug in bed with Blythe?

A CURE Fer DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, Aiiina
and EIoodless.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure Influences, something I'M
healthful III one s surroundings or work,
may lead to slow impOverishment of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it,
Mr. G. f. Legg, of Upton, w. Va,
has found Il successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:
IL used Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by lingering malarial
fever chat began i'll the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and bad state Of my blood. Twas
an;emic. as the doctors say. People
general would say that 1 didn't have
blood enough, on that didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order.
I was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was a good
deal of pain, too, i'll my back and under
my right shoulder blade.
"How long did these troubles last?"
"For over two years. For four
months of that time 1 was under the
care of physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile l learned of
the cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
"You owe your cure to these pills ?"
"I certainly do, and [ also know that
they are helping others to whom have
recommended them They have real
merit and know of nothing that would
take their place."
