but three subjects on which it OUT
lines future line of political con-
duct. First it contains square and
emphatic declaration in favor of the
present tariff; second for a state prl-
mary; third for the enactment of
statutes to prevent corporate control

while. Perhaps should not dis

longs more properly to the realm OF

candidates for congress are more di-
rectly Interested. | should, however,

to risk has reputation in hazarding a

now in politics on which the lines are
more clearly drawn. A person is eth.

broadcast through this land and ac-
cepted generally, SO far as | have
been able to learn. that the present
"Cummins republican platform" is
without doubt standpat platform on
the tariff question. AS much so, IT
is claimed. as the one of Joseph Can
non of Illinois.
The democratic platform is clear
and unmistakable in its meaning,
subject to but a single construction,
that there should be immediate re.
lief granted to the people who are
now being robbed by extortionate
prices exacted under the shelter of
tarin.' This is followed by the spe-
cific declaration as to the manner of
granting the relief that the tariff
should be removed from all trust

Bile, marched up the hill.
Our republican friends again met
for a state convention with the Cum

but when the platform was publishe. /
TO an anxious state. no shelter plank
was to be found.
Our Governor marched down the
hill.
The Governor in his first inaugural
address referred to. had also said.
reciprocity that takes without Civ.
ing is an idle dream and contradic-
ton in terms. and if its scope EN-
braces only non-competitiye products
1t is little future value in the economy
of the nation"
Ihe plat.orm of that year also fail
ed to define the character of the reci
procity demanded. though the policy
was commended and its development
urged as necessary to the realization
OF our highest commercial possibili.
ties 1t will be noticed, however
that the governor had, even at this
time. declared emphatically. that the
only reciprocity that counted, or was
worth talking about, was reciprocity
in competitive products.
Our Governor was FESTIVE; and soon
after the convention of 1902 he said
in public address at Detroit that
the potential competition from other
countries will prevent producers at
home from exacting more than lust
and reasonable price for what they
produce" and in the same speech
followed it with the emphatic dec.
laration, "the truth it, that, consider.
ed as economic principles, protection
and reciprocity are not only widely
separated but are the exact opposites
of each other. We ought to under.
stand that in the domain of competl.
tive commodities reciprocity does not
sustain, but destroys protection"
And again before the Polk county
convention Just preceding another
state convention. he declares his in
tention to be % do whatever lies in
my power to introduce into the ma
tional platform of next year the
thought to which the republicans of
Iowa have already given utterance.

determining whether the duties were

wearisome, for no one has made more
democratic speeches on the tariff than
he, let us review some of the posi-
tons of the Governor and the Cum
Minis republicans"
The platform on which Mr. Cum
Minis ran for governor the first time,
contains more than an implication
that the statement in our present
democra..c state platform is correct,
for it declared for immediate modi-
fication of the tariff schedules that
may be required to prevent their at
fording shelter to monopolies." If it
was sheltering monopolies then, how
is it now? If that be true in 1901, is
it any less true in 1906? Following
the declaration with an address de.
livered in Minneapolis before his par
ty had again spoken on the question,
he said, Il believe, too, that some
branch of the government must be
empowered to remove the duties upon
imports upon those commodities re

that the consumer has better right

if all of the blood of that time had
been shed, and all the sacrifice had
been made in vain. But one stepped
out on balcony, and facing that tur-
Dulent mob as it surged thru the
streets of New York, spoke those
words which quoted them and the
entire nation-"God reigns, and the
Government at Washington still

No single individual lives whose
life is necessity to the life of this
state or nation, and he is a vain ego
fist who SO flatters himself.
If an emergency does actually ex-
list in the history of the state Of Iowa,
it does occur to me that he who has
so strenuously advocated that it does
exist, and who held as in the hollow
of his hand majority of the late re-
publican convention and had a major
ity of the committee on resolutions.

his personal paper in the city of Des

with me copy of that platform as
adopted by that convention, and |
have read and re-read it, and l am
unable to get the faintest glimpse or
suggestion of the cause that SO i'm

state on the part of Governor Cum

A Royal Locksmith.

Louis XVI. had a passion for the
locksmith's trade, and it is said that
over his private library he had a forge,
two anvils and q vast number Of iron
tools, together with all kinds Of locks,
common as we'll as those Of a secret
and elaborate variety. It was here
that the king would conceal himself
from the queen and the court to file
and forge with tho Infamous Gamin,
who taught him the art Of lockmaking.
It is said that Gamin while teaching
the king his trade took upon himself
the tone and authority of master,
and. according to this same master,
the king was good, forbearing, timid,
inQuisitive a1d addicted to sleep. Louis
had also great passion for timepleces,
and the difficulty which he found In
adjusting his clocks and watches Is
9aid to have drawn from him the re-
Election that 1t was absurd Of him to
attempt to bring men to anything like
uniformity Of belief In matters Of faith
when he couldn't make any two Of his
tmepieces agree with each other.

Where Cicero Took the Mud.

Marcus Tullius Cicero bathed III the
mud Of Lake Aguan 1900 years ago
In order to get rid Of the govt. The
mud of the standing waters in the dis
trict west Of Naples was famous from
early times for the relief Of arthritis.
The luxurious high livers Of the i'm
perial days knew its efficacy and no
doubt did their "cure'' there in much
the same rough and ready fashion as
their modern representative does now.
It Is no doubt to the sulphur and
other deposits that the mud Of the lit
tie lakes on the promontory Of Cumae
owes its health giving properties, and
as nature works much the same way
now In that region as she did in the
time Of the Caesars the effect upon
twentieth century govt is probably
much the same as when the great Tul-
~ soaked his infamed joints in the
ooze Of the Phlegraeaen fields.

Hickory Trees.

It is rather a pity that our hickories
should receive highest appreciation
from us when they are yielding up
their substance in roaring flames in our
dreplacee. For nowhere in the forest
world can we find genus Of trees
that is, as a whole, more attractive
and valuable than the genus hicoria.
Most Of the hickories are beautiful in
summer when their glossy foliage is at
It's best. In autumn this foliage turns
the color Of 'uncoined gold, and when
bare Of leaves there Is revealed an
oaklike twist to the branches which
makes these trees most picturesque
and beautiful objects in the winter
landscape. We have never made as
much commercially Of the nuts as we
might well have done. Our Indian
predecessors knew how to make q
most attractive beverage from them,
and the early settlers pressed from
them an oil that was luxury. The
pecan is the only hickory species that
has been developed and cultivated to
any extent, and this has only recently
begun it's career as cultivated tree

Mary Anderson's Voice.

Miss Anderson's voice was always
her predominant charm. Certain tones
In it-so thrilling, so full of wild pas
sion and inexpressible melancholy
went straight to the heart and brought
tears into the eyes. The voice is the
exponent Of the SOUL You can paint
your face, you can pad your person,
you can wear wig, you can walk in
shoes that augment your height, you
can in various ways change your body,
but your voice will sooner or later re-
veal you as You are. Just as the style
Of the writer discloses his character,
so the quality Of the voice discloses
the actors nature. 1t seems unlikely
that Miss Anderson's melting, tragic
tones were uttered in any Of her girl
ish impartments, but the copious, love-
~ voice was there, and it gained her
first victory. William Winter in Sat

Natural Varnishe "a

Fluid resins or oils from several diff
ferent trees are extensively used in the
Philippines as varnishes. One Of them,
called oil of supa, is pale yellow
liquid when fresh, but it becomes dark
and viscous after contact with the
air. Spread in a thin layer it dries
slowly and forms hard varnish. It
is also capable Of being burned in q
lamp. Another natural varnish is ba-
lao, also called oil of apitong. 1t is
white when fresh, but darkens after
exposure and makes very tough
varnish. Oil of panao is third vari-
ETY., inferior to the others in it's drying
properties. Chemical analysis has
shown that all these wood oils consist
entirely Of hydrocarb
guiterpenes. r, &c.. -

The fact that a person is capable of
