practice of the great majority Of the

lsture to extort brides from the spec
ia interests when bills affecting these
il terests are before them for consid-
GRAFTON.
The weakness Of this confession is in
the character of the man who makes
i, and his self confessed desire for re-
v,nge. A briber of legislatures or Of
jpries is usually a liar. No honest
man buys dishonesty. When Gethro
says nearly every one of the Massa-
chusetts legislators asks and receives
brides, few will credit an assertion so
sweeping. He is not Il credible witness

army of wad carriers, paid agents and
sirens that gather in every state cap
ital when bills adverse to certain in
terestS are to come up. offers corrob-
oIative evidence of Mr. Gethro's con-
fession. The trouble is that confess
sions usually come from men like
Gethro; men as deeply in the mud as
legislators are in the mire, and whose
character and reputation render their
evidence before a jury practically
worthless. 1t Is the hardest thing in
the world to convict a man of having
received dirty money. Circumstantial
evidence may be plenty and strong. but
direct evidence must come from the
Gethros, and long before they reach
the confession stage their credibilitv
has been fly-blown.
What is to be done about It? Will
some one offer satisfactory plan to
put the corrupt legislator out OF bus
iEess along with the bride broker?

How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be COM
pletely broken UP in one or two days
time The first symptoms of cold are
a dry, loud cough. a profuse watery dis
charge from the nose, and thin, white
coating on the tongue. When Chamber
lain's cough remedy is taken every
hour on the first appearance Of these
symptoms, it counteracts the effect of
the cold and restores the system to
healthy condition within a day or two.

THAT ,Ns,sTeNT "DANGER.n

It is reported from Washington tina
Chairman Cortelyou of the nationa
committee. will refuse to NEEDLE with
the Iowa situation even upon request;
that he considers the nomination of ar
Iowa governor a matter for lowans
to settle among themselves. In this
decision Mr.. Cortelyou has displayed
his excellent Judgment and hard CONF
mon sense, which have been the foun-
de lions of his success. That is pre-
cisely the situation. Nothing short Of
a clear settlement of Iowas position
will satisfy Iowa voters There is no
place for compromise. The men who
arc representative candidates OF the
two factions in Iowa are the least Of
the issues involved. The true issue
before Iowa is whether corporations
shall control the state or be controlled
by the state. That question can be
definitely and satisfactorily answered
nv the direct representatives of the
party in convention assembled, and by
them only.
Majority must rule, and it is weak
ness, folly or falsehood to assert that
an Iowa republican convention is not
the fit Judge of who are and who are
no. entitled to take part in its delib-
erations. AS well ask a committee
from congress to decide contested
seat in the state legislature as to call
on the national committee to con-
struct temporary roll for the state
Iowa is entirely capable
of taking care of her own business.
But one logical and effective plan
presents itself: the state convention
should be the sole arbiter. The clear
for which Mr.. Perkins
pleads should be brought as close to
the people as it is possible to bring
it. If this includes danger to the
party, that danger must be faced. That
danger will endure as long as these
vital questions remain entirely or par
TALLY unanswered. The party can not
exist half slave and half free. 1t must
control corporations or admit corpor-
alton control, and no party can much
longer exist subservient to corporate
Compromise is dangerous
The individual voter is ready to re-
sent any compromise that fails of a
clear settlement" and compromise by
the leaders Of the progressive move-
ment would be equivalent to betrayal
Of the men behind them.
We were told in the beginning that
this was to be a fight to finish Let
it go on. There is no safety to the
party in Iowa except as one principle
or the other rises ascendant. Either
the square deal' or its opposite must
govern Iowa If there is danger to
the party in Iowa from the triumph Of
clean government, 1t is a danger good
citizens may deplore, but can not hesi-
tate to face. If we are to lose Mr..
Blythe and the men he controls be-
caues the people demand a continual
lion of honest state administration and
a clean executive council, there re-
mains but one thing to do, say good
riddance to bad rubbish" and let
them go. The state will never stand
for arbitration by Ed Hunters political
brother-in-law.

MAY MANUFACTURING EXPORTS.

CApoFtS OF manufactures from the
United States In May 1906, were lar
ger than in any preceding month in the
history of our export trade. aggregating
over 56 million dollars, an average of
more than 2 million dollars for each
business day of the month. This Is the
showing made by the returns received
in the bureau of statistics of the de-
part1nent Of commerce and labor. For
the eleven months ending with May,
exports of manufactures aggregated
SOL million dollars, an average of near
ly 2 million dollars for each business
day of the eleven months. For the
month of May alone they are s million
dollars in excess of those for May Of
the preceding year, and for the II
months aggregate IS millions mora
than in the corresponding months Of
the preceding year. These figures seem
to justify the prediction that the total
exports of manufactures for the fiscal
year just ended will aggregate about
500 million dollars, against 543 milions
in 1905, 434 millions in 1900, and 229
millions in 1896, having thus increased
about 100 per cent during the decade,
while other domestic exports We're in
creasing but about 76 per cent.
A comparison of the exports of man
ufactures in the fiscal year 1906 with
those Of earlier years shows that the
growth in the last decade has been
much greater than that of any earlier
decennial period. The total value of
manufactures exported in 1856 was 81
million dollars, and in 1866, 40 mil.

mate, Of 600 million dollars for 1906
prove reasonably accurate the increase

in 1866, 106 per cent; in 1875, III per

Manufactures exported in 1906 ex-
ceeded by about go million dollars the
value of all manufactures imported,
even including in the latter those par

INTO the country for use in manufactu--

lures: since 1893 the exports of manu-
features have exceeded imports in
value, except in a single year. 1903. In
1860 the value of manufactures i'm
ported was five times as great as the
value of manufactures exported; in
1870, about three times as great; in
1880, about two and one-half times as
great; in 1890, about twice as great;
and in 1898. as above indicated, the
exports of manufactures for the first |
