poor Russia in regulating the power
OF the railroads. Russia, as blind and
barbaric as it is stands for full par
value of the stocks and bonds Of
railroad. We have stood here as
dead, doing nothing. In ten years, If
we do not progress, this condition will
be worse. Just see the stock Of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. At
one time it was quoted at 200 cents On
the dollar. Through the territory this
road travels, business had increased,
more manufactures had been estab-
llshed, the business of the company
was rapidly growing greater But no
decrease in the stock was announced.
Instead of having increased the wages
of it's employees or decreasing the rate
on freight, 1t doubled it's capital stock.
This done without mailing spike.
And so it will continue unless you
wake up.
Primary Election Law.
"The men in Washington are honest,
but most of them are asleep One hon
est man awake is more honest than a
regiment asleep. You have another
road running through here, the Chica-
go, Rock Island & Pacific, which is
even worse than the Burlington. After
combining all it's property, it simply
converted it into stocks and bonds.
am only awakened to the condition Of
affairs. We are now face to face with
them and must fight them out. How
can we do this. BY the passage OF a
primary election law. | am for such a
law that will provide for the nomina-
ton by direct vote Of candidates for
all the principal offices of the state
government, for the Office Of represen-
tative in congress, for senator Of the
United States and for county officers.
II want to see the man of Iowa
have his own individual choice of can
didates. want you to understand too
that there are honest men in Iowa. The
opposition holds against this that the
average man doesn't know enough to
vote. Well, if you don't know enough
to vote transfer your franchise to
your wife, and she will know how to
vote. believe primary law will be
better than any other condition to
bring about the results so desired In
Iowa. 1t appeals to mankind; it lifts up
the people But it is coming and no
man or party should stand in the way
of measure that advocates better civ
ilization and better politics."
Judge Prouty Talks.
Following the address of Mr.. Cum
minis Judge S. F. Prouty Of Des Moines
made a brief address in which he adj
vocated the principles of the governor
and made plea for his support. Mr..
Prouty referred to the two candidates
as high minded, honest, efficient poll
ticians, both worthy and we'll qualified
for the office of governor. He took
occasion to express his love for liberty.
saying that it was the sweetest word
in the dictionary; that he was free
American born, and would die first
before he would submit to the political
yoke of J. w. Blythe, He said he
would rather be subject of the em-
peror of Germany or the car of Rus
STA than a hireling of ]. j. Hill, j. w.
Blythe or Carroll Wright. In the opin-
ion of Mr.. Prouty, George D. Perkins is
without doubt the railroad candidate
for governor. The speaker closed with
an appeal to the voters for Governor
Cummins and against j. W. Blythe.

as to whether the nation will see the
wisdom of setting its hand to this
work.
Another Inland Empire,
In Florida the everglades alone
almost solid muck beds-would afford
an empire Of some 100000 acres; in
New Jersey and Virginia are vast
swamps, among them the famous Dis
NAL Swamp. In Illinois which is gen
orally regarded as a well-settled agri-
cultural state, there are 100000
acres OF swamp land; in Michigan
there are nearly 100000 acres. Fer
tile Iowa has 100000 acres Of swamp
land. In Minnesota there are almost
100000 acres of rich surveyed
swamp lands and huge areas not yet
surveyed. Arkansas has tremendous
swamp areas which could be drained
and made habitable, and in all there
is a swamp area in the eastern half
of the United States which is equal in
extent to the great agricultural states
Of Indiana, illinois, and Iowa, with
three or four smaller eastern states
thrown In.
II the Steenerson bill demonstrates
that the government can transform
swamps into fertile farm land and
that the settler or owner will pay
back to the government the relatively
small cost Of the Improvement, there
seems to be no reason why this work
of creation of value out of worthless
waste should not go on indefinitely
and provide homes for millions more
of rural population.

which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby. of 313 Charlton

"Lvdia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound
Is a true friend to woman. 1t has been of
great benefit to me, curing me of irregular
and painful periods when everything else had
failed, and [ gladly recommend it to other
suffering women"

GAS Safe as a Bo1loon -

During the last 20 years 2,O61 ball
looms and airship ascents have taken
place in Germany, and only Sc acct
dents have befallen the 1870 persons
taking part in them. That is to say.
one trip in 81 ONE to grief, or one
aeronaut in 210 meets with an acci-
dent, 4 casualty rate of less than one
half per cent. In spite Of these al
Turing statistics, most of us will be
prevented by various circumstances
from taking up ~ballooning as a sport,
and We are more interested in the
fact that ballooning is safer than mo-
toring in another sense-safer to
other people. The whole 2,061 trips,
we are told, have only produced two
cases of accident to persons other
than the occupants of the car.-Man-

While tall men care more Tor comlofi

has been reached by the Tailor and Cut
Ter after u careful inquiry, with a view
To describing the idiosyncrasies OF va
rious types of customers.
.sOur experience in connection with
big and little men" says the journal,
leads US TO the conclusion that little
men are generally vain and decidedly
festidious in the matter OF dress. They
are fully conscious Of their OWN deffci-
eDcy in the matter of height and oulk'
but viii not tolerate its being men
toned by others. They want the tailor

them and TO give them the smartest
style and the hest Of fits.
with big men-and by these We a9
well-developed men-our experience Is
that they are often clumsy and IN
different in matters OF dress ana as
they prefer comfort 10 style. the cut
ter seldom has the chance OF doing that
Justice to them which he desires, and.
consequently, very few big men appear
TO the best advantage.
THE customers who give the least
trouble are those who are best described
as average built men, they recognize
that they are not Apollos. and so see
the need for proper attention TO their
dress
The working classes have their own
ideas on the matter of dress. but are
not so exacting as those who have not
to toll for their living.
'In certain districts their taste for
beli-bottom trousers is very pronounced
and woe betide the tailor who does not
impart a proper bell-like form to the
bottoms
IAN aristocrat is the most exactiDg of
all customers. He will order one thing
and require il transformed to another
