CLEAN MACHINERY.

Every man who knows anything
about it will say that machinery
must be kept clean If the best
work is expected from 1t. Exactly
the same is true of the machinery of
the body, which can do its work
properly only when kept clear OF
clogging accumulations. The bodily
machinery of the human being Is
clogged when there is constipation
and this can be permanently cured
and prevented from becoming chron-
ic only by restoring the strength of
weakened muscles. Experienced
medical men find that this can best
be done by the use, until there is
free movement of the bowels, of tea
spoonful doses, at bedtime and be-
fore each meal, of a preparation of
X OF. Fluid Extract of SIENNA, Y
OF. Rochelle Salts, 1 OF. Aro-Sagrada.
80 grains Bi-Carbonate of Soda. Y
OF. water and Y ozs. Glycerine. The
ingredients are all entirely harm
less and any good druggist can pre-
pare the medicine.

A LITTLE SONG.

Oh. great world, fair world, a
true world | find it.
A sun that never forgets to rise
On the darkest night star in the
skies,
And a God of love behind 1t.
oh, good life, sweet life, large
life, take it,
Is what he offers to you and me-.
A chance to do and chance to be
And the world whatever we make It
oh, far way, a high way, sure
way He leads us,
And if the journey at times seems
long,
We must trujge ahead with a
trustful song,
And know at the end He needs us.

rHE SALARY GRARRERs.

Editor Times Republican,: BY all
means let the federal crowd" line up
against Cummins In the impending
senatorial fight. The vitriolic gentle
man in Sioux City and several Of his
uuderstudies will evidently be salts
fed with nothing less and the people
in general ought to welcome the OPP
portunity such situation would at
ford to do little lining-up on their
own account. For instance, some peo-
pie may be so inquisitive as to ask
what republican convention ever in
sisted THAI salaries OF congressman be
raised so per cent. 1t may be suggested
that $1,000 per month for all the time
actually spent in the (allegedD service
of the people is compensation enough
for our congressional hired men,"
Somebody may want to know whether
they intend to draw the additional So
500 per year which they adroitly sue
ceeded In allowing themselves without
being compelled to face a roll call
A good many men are still living who
remember what happened to lot OF
fellows some years ago who thought
their services were worth more than
the paltry $1,000 per month which had
been paid to such men as Webster,
Clay Calhoun. Sumner, Douglas, Thur
man, Blaine and others of like CALI
Der. 1t will be recalled that many
OF the salary grabbers referred to
FASTENED to cover their extra pay back
into the treasury. and then little
later, the voters retired most OF Them
without pensions. 1t is true that the
last grab differed from the first, one
in not applying Immediately and has
not been resented so strongly largely
for the reason that the public has
grown so accustomed to having con-
gress do as it pleases that they don't
expect anything else. Nevertheless
some of our hired men may be kept
busy explaining why they should put
. their hands into the public crib to the
extent of $500 extra pay for each
month spent in Washington when the
great majority of their constituents are
unable to save that much out of a
years hard work. Some other inter-
sesting questions might be asked pos
sibly may be. later on. Yes, let them
line up right away the sooner the
better. j. D. MORRISON.

TWO CENT FARES AND TRAVEL.

! Have YOU travelled by rail since the
q cent fare was inaugurated? II so you
have noticed that the portly travelling
man who in the old days "befo de war
invariably required one double seat 70
sit in and another whereon to place
his feet and satchel, now covers IN
| corner of a single seat beside the
fat woman? Perhaps you had pre-
deliction for two seats turned In to
fact and the heightened comfort or
foot rest. If. so you have no doubt
noticed that the seat you were wont
to turn In Is filled with passengers.
When you wander disconsolately to the
smoking compartment at the end OF
the car it is to find the seats full and
the center Of the compartment piled
with grips.
On branch lines there is more room
In the cars but not the lonesome vista
OF unoccupied seats Of the and 4
cent periods On main lines the gaz-
ing farmer in the field sees every win
dow occupied as the train goes by.
The railroads are busy as cranberry
merchants carrying an unprecedented
pa ssenger traffic. What are they pre-
pairing to tell us at the end of the
trial? A tale Of unusual travel and
profit Or poor mouth story Of finan-
cial loss and prospective disaster?
Without figures the observing public
is satisfied that the cent fare is a
moneymaker for the railroads. 1t is
going to be mighty hard to convince
with figures that it has been mistaken.
Perhaps the roads will meet the public
half way with the admission that the
reduction they predicted would prove
the forerunner Of bankruptcy has
turned out to the good. If not they
will find it necessary to show" the
people who have gone travelling in the
crowded trains that have marked the
beginning OF the new deal.

correct in principle and success in
practice, while public ownership of
enterprises conducted for purposes of
profit Is q failure. This discovery
could have been made in Marshalltown
where the city owns its water supply
and operates it economically.
The trouble in Dubuque Is not with
municipal ownership, but with the adj
ministration. There is no inequality
in the necessary taxation which the
Dubuque paper contends compels one
generation to build water plant that
the next generation may get free
water. The usual way is to sell bonds
and tie up the future generation with
an obligation to pay a debt in which 1t
had no voice in contracting. but the
future generation gets the use of
water plant which compensates 1t for
the expense. In the meantime the
health of the whole public has been
preserved and its property guarded
with adequate fire protection. The
people of Waterloo and Council Bluffs
are on the right track. Municipal own
ership OF citys water supply is the
correct thing. Wherever it fails the
people should clean out the city hall
and substitute new men.

WATER TROUBLES M IOWA TOWNS.

Z If a man lived in Waterloo or Coun-
Gil Bluffs today he would be pulling at
his neighbor's nose over the water
franchise issue. Both towns have pri-
vate ownership of water works and in
each an attempt has been made to re-
new a franchise. In Waterloo the
people have refused renewal be-
cause they were not assured that they
would be given pure well water and
the river with Cedar Falls sewage
above is full of typhoid germs. In
Council Bluffs the people are rebelling
against high rates and wholly made
quate fire protection. They, too, have
refused new franchise.
Very naturally strong demand for
municipal ownership has arisen, but in
Dubuque municipal ownership has re-
suited in mismanagement and failure.
Hence the Dubuque Times warns the
people of Waterloo and Council Bluffs
not to be overcome by the false siren
of municipal ownership. The Dubuque
paper is discussing what it can see
from the inside of barrel. 1t ought
to climb up to, the top where it could
see over the sides.
The commission Of scientists which
made an exhaustive investigation of
municipal ownership has come home
with the conclusion that municipal
ownership of the utilities upon which
the public health or safety depends is

THE DEcADENcE or "sPoRTs."

One so-called sport" deserves en-.
tire putting out of business 1t is
crooked, brutal and controlled by a
bunch" that suffers in comparison
with hard working competent burg
lars and porchclimbers If there is
any excuse for permitting the profess
sional lighting man and his gambler
promoters place among American
sports, some one should suggest it.
Wherever a fight takes place, one Of
these fights that take on an interstate
or international interest, the charges
OF fraud begin to fly before the count
is finished If there has been a square
fight in the roped ring for number OF
years the men wig should know most
about 1t are plain perjurers. The game
is crooked 1t is necessarily crooked
because gamblers and other crooks
run 1t; because the men who engage
in the profession" of pugilism are nat-
surally of the class that leans toward
crookedness.
The brutality of the fighting game is
not its worst feature. While red blood
runs the physical courage to take and
receive punishment, the skill Of the
fighting man and the fighting lust
of the Anglo Saxon will attract atten-
ton and a degree Of approval Time
was when gentlemen of an old and hap
PLY extinct school patronized the prize
ring and mills bloody and brutal
We're pulled off as much for the love
Of contest and the glory Of winning as
for the purses offered and the money
wagered With. all their brutality the
bare knuckle fights Of the past.were
to the faxed battles of today as was is
to theft.
J 1t is time that congress put the plug
ugrly who poses as a prizefighter, out
of business Not that he is the worst
feature of the game" The parasites
who, own him and frame up his fakes
belong in the penitentiary.

AbILISVVIN "A OANIJIDA I Z
(Brooklyn Chronicle.)

~
Allison has announced that he is a
candidate to succeed himself in the
United States senate. The senatorial
term to which he desires to be elected
expires in 1915, and Allison is already
7S years of age and in feeble health.
Iowa has honored him by keeping him
for an average lifetime in the senate.
The only question now fairly open to
discussion is whether Iowa and the
nation can fairly expect better service
in the senate from him than from any
other man who could be put in his
place.
The Chronicle is friendly to Mr..
Cummins but would oppose him for the
senate if we believed that any other
candidate would if elected do more
things that need doing and exert a
stronger influence in the right direc-
ton. Is it unfair to apply the same
test to Allison? Were Senator Allison
twenty years younger definite express
sion of opinion on numerous matters
of public policy would be required of
him. To refrain from asking such
questions now is to confess that he is
an old and broken man whose Work
is done and who is only required 10
mark time in a great place until he
dies, so that those who would do some
thing be not given the opportunity,
Men talk of the heartlessness of turn
ing an old man out of office.
They say nothing of the heartless-
ness of putting an old man in front of
the political column, and then getting
behind him with the hope that political
enemies out of respect for gray hairs
will not fire in his direction. Cunlrnins
stands for something definite in the
politics of Iowa and Of the nation. What
Is 1t for which Allison stands? The day
Of seft-walking statesmen Is done. The

Altho England in peace time mounts
only two-thirds of her cavalry, her
horse bill amounts to about 100000,
a year--a figure which may be multi
piled by four or five for the German
army. In most countries omnibus.
farm, and domestic horses are regist-
cred as being available in time Of war
for miscellaneous service, and for this
anything from 100000 to $4,000 a
year may be paid by a military nation.
France spends upward of 100000 a
year on horses for her great armies.
AS 81 general rule, the recruits are
years of and cost 5000 each.
