The Des Moines Register and
Leader, official organ of the Cummins
machine, prints in its Sunday issue,
what purports to be special" from
Chicago, saying:
political oblivion for renuncia-
ton of their tariff views is the
threat held out to Speaker Jo-
seph Cannon, John F. Lacey or
Iowa, James T. McCleary Of Min
nesota, and other 'standpat con-
gressmen by the national commit
tee of the American Reciprocity
Tariff league"
What to do with Lacey and how to
do it seems to cause the Cummin5
camp at Des Moines lots of grief and
anxiety. The other day they tried to
hypnotic State Auditor Carroll and
met with a frost. They have flirted
with Hon. N. E. Kendall of Abba, and
Hon. Fred Maytag of Newton, and
with Hon. Tom Bray of Grinnell, late
reporter in Judge Scott's court, In
the hopes of creating dissatisfaction,
and now as a last resort have taken
to publishing such paragraphs as the
above, calling them specials" and
giving them big "scare heads" to at
tract attention. They will find, how
ever, that the people of the Sixth dis
trict are well satisfied with Major La.
cey and are proud of his record and
his work in congress, and when con-
yention. day rolls around he will be re-
nominated by reclamation and his ma
jority at the polls on election day
will be greater than ever. Two years
ago, it will be remembered, this same
coterie Of Des Moines politicians
waged war on Major Lacey, the result
of which was that he was nominated
without opposition and at the polls
bad majority equal to the combined
majorities at all previous elections,
That is what the people of the Sixth
district think of Major Lacey, and
that is their answer to the machina
tions Of the Des Moines progress
i've o" machine.

IowA,s PLACE IN THE NATION.

Cheyenne tWyo.) Tribune: In many
respects Iowa is the greatest state in
the union. Iowa is great in public
schools, in small colleges,in churcnes,
in agriculture, in statesmen and in the
sturdy honesty of her yeomanry.
Iowa has no big cities filled with
unassimilated foreigners, spreading
anarchy and discord or holding the
balance of power at election time.
Iowa is an empire of towns and vii
lagos and the people move slowly but
usually together.
No state in the union has an ADLER
delegation in the national house of
representatives. Men like Cousins,
Lacey, Hull, Hepburn, are above the
average, while Senators Allison and
Dolliver take rank with the men who
brought fame to Athens, who distin-
guished the Roman senate or charac-
terized our own upper law-making
body in the first half of the last cen
tury.
Allison and Dolliver are given to
neither populism nor socialism. They
are conservative republicans, but they
are always to be found on the side OF
the people when common sense and
common justice show that the people
are right.
Therefore it is no surprise to find
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa fathering Presi-
dent Roosevelt's rate bill in the house
and the sturdy Allison and the fiery
Dolliver becoming sponsors for 1t in
the senate.
The people will win in this great
contest at the present session Of con-
gress or relegate to private nfe a
handsome bunch of United States SEN
ators.

initiating his rivals brand. the style
and cover Of the packages in which
the wares are sold, and also by throw
ing out to the public the bait Of a
cheaper price, he divcrts the revenues
of his victim into mis- own pocket.
So great has become the depreda-
tons of these land buccaneers that
american manufacturers are now ask
ing for national law which shall
make the imitation of trademarks a
penal offense. A bill has been intro
duced at Washington which provides
that the maker of goods which are ar
ticles of interstate commerce and
which bear labels in imitation of 9TH
er brands shall be liable to $1,000 fine
or Imprisonment for two years, or
both. The, manufacturer who fleeces
the public by means Of counterfeit
label is as much a swindler as the
green goods man or the gold brick
f1nancier. If, as the advocates of the
bill assert it will be supported by the
courts as constitutional, it should be
passed. Caution in respect to its
scope, however, is absolutely neces-
sary. The law of 1870, which made
trademark counterfeltIng a penal Of
Tense, was overthrown by the courts
on the ground that 1t infringed state
rights.
Most of the states have statutes
making trademark piracy criminal
offense, but these laws vary to such a
degree and are so laxly enforced that
manufacturers say they afford them
little protection. They also point out
that nearly all European countries
have national laws like the one they
want enacted by congress, ana that
even in China there is law provid-
ing that one guilty of this offense
may be imprisoned Tor one year.

during the rebellion, women did as
much fighting as the men. In 1853
there were 100000 fighting women at

each, under female officers. Ten
thousand of them were picked women,
drilled and garrisoned in the city.
