I0WA's ALL RIGHT
Nothing the Matter With Iowa - The
Best Cattle. Fattest Hogs, Strongest
Men and Handsomest Women - The
Best Fuel for the Money Is Iowa

What's the matter with Iowa? Moth
ing. She's all right. She produces the
best grain, the finest cattle and the fat
test hogs. Iowa's the best state in the
union. For hogs. horses. cattle and
men she can't be beat.
Iowa's just as good for the fuel you
burn in your stoves and furnaces.
Every bit as good Remember that
Iowa coal costs you less money and
gives you better results than coal ship
ped from the east. Why? Because
when you buy good Iowa coal you pay
for fuel and short freight haul when
you buy eastern coal you pay your
money to benefit the railroads and mo-
nopolies. Why not keep the money at
home to build up your own state aud
your own bank account dress your
children better go visiting next sum-
mer and have money for yourself in
stead of giving it to the railroads?
You can do these things if you make
up your mind to try the celebrated

HOME COOKING IN PARIS.

One can scarcely blame the dwell
ers in American cities for stunning
the delights of small, neighborhood
restaurants. To %patronize a restau-
rant where one may really enjoy
himself costs so much that only the
well-to-do IAN afford it. But in Paris
good cooking is so common that n
can find it at the smallest and cheap
est restaurants. Indeed, it is likely
to be better there than at the more
pretentious places, which cater to the
touriss who a i not always as exact
ing in the matter of good cooking as
is the native Frenchman. There is in
Raris a sign Cuisine Bourgeois,
which corresponds TO our sign Home
Cooking" Any little housewife from
the provinces who can cook Cuisine
Bourgeois" can find an open field for
her talents in these neighborhood
restaurants. Throughout Paris, ex-
cept at the very great and fashionable
cafes, the cook is generally the wife
of the proprietor.-The Travel Mag

Trenton, in common with other
cities and towns along the Delaware,
has been notified by the State Sewage
Commission that it must stop turning
its sewage into the river by January
1, 1911. Four years is none too long
Il time in which to provide another
means of disposing of the city's waste,
and it will not do to rely too much on
the hope that the courts will set aside
the law or that something will turn
up to relieve the conditions without
municipal action or expense.-Tren-
ton Times.
Four years, likewise, is none too
short a time for the cities to cease
polluting the river. Trenton, as we'll
as all the cities and towns along the
Delaware are growing, and in 1911
the amount of sewage they would be
dumping into the river would be
greatly increased, If nothing was done
to dispose of it elsewhere. The state
has reached a point whore something
along this line has got to be done,
and Trenton and every other city
should take steps to solve the prob
lem without delay.

Attacking the Liberty or the PfcSS.
Politicians are a queer bunch"
They are usually of only average gray
matter, but of unusual self-import-
ance.
A few years ago, the late Frank
M. Taylor, Jr., editor of the Record,
was lacked up" for stating a few
plain facts in his newspaper. Then J.
Lyle Kinmouth, editor of the Asbury
Park Press, was called to the county
seat with threats of vengeance. These
things happened to two able, fearless
democrats when the county officials
were democrats. But these editors
stood for the people and against the
politicians.
Today local history repeats itself.
John Cook, editor Of the Red Bank
Register, is out of joint with the re-
publican machine. He is a staunch
republican and has proven his hon
esty and ~fearlessness again and again.
No man can deliver John Cook. He
is with the people and has a brutal
frankness in his writing. This is dis
tasteful to some of the politicians of
his own party.
Now it's editor Cooks turn to
speak in a voice that will be heard
beyond the bounds of Monmouth
county. And he. do 1t.
Every attack on honest newspapers
must fail. They are the chief pro-
tectors of the peoples rights and are
as powerful as the courts in the en-
forcement Of our laws.-Long Branch

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Overstcpped th4 Bounds.

Legitimate criticism of public men
is one thing; SANDER is quite another.
We fear that the OCEAN Grove Times
does not Discriminate in it's discus
sion of Senator Dryden. The paper
~insinuates that P~rudeptial advertis
ing is distributed as d reward for
political support of the concerns
president.
Every close observer knows that
that is not true.
When Tom Lawson was denounc-
ing the Prudential in Everybody's,
the company, unlike many other in
france companies, did not discon-
tinue it's advertisements in the maya
zine.
During the present senatorial con-
test the attitude of state papers to-
ward Senator. Dryden has not had
any visible effect on Prudential adj
yertising. The Record, and numer-
Gus other papers, ven in this county,
which have opposed the senator's am
billions, have been advertising the
Prudential even more freely than in
the past.
Dryden is too good a business man
TO try to mix business and politics in
the management of Prudential affairs.
The man is no monster. He is a
high type of business man and a gen.
tleman who is simply out of his
sphere in politics and whose afhlia-
tions disqualify him to serve the
peoples interests in the senate as a
senator should .

OUT ON THE ROAD WITHOUT
SALARY.

The author Of "The Pettisol
Twins'@Marion Hill-publishes in
THE American Magazine" for Janu-
airy as tory of Christmas with barn
stormers." 1t is a wonderful picture
of second or third rate theatrical life.
Out on the road doing that pitiless,
n~erve-racking treadmill known as
".one-night stands the Herselet
Comedy Company was playing to
empty houses and empty treasures
for seventeen weeks without salaries.
There was H~erselet, the manager and
leading man, and Mrs. Herselet-
'Lettice Jerome" on the bills-and
their poor neglected three-year-old
girl ably. Then there was "Dede De-
vere,' who, with big, honest eyes,
played ingenues, and Gambia Ran
some" ''old timer" comely and fat,
who could go on for fourteen-year-
old Juliet, or the age-stricken nurse,
and do either or both equally we'll
or badly. Johnny Banks was the stat
wart stage carpenter, also property
man. sometimes advance agent. he
was "cries without" and "howls OF
the populace. Belle Martin, billed
as 1.-THE Martini" barely twenty, had
gone the untraceable road that leads
nowhere but to remorse. Finally
there was Will Millilkin, cast for the
Goddess you parts, after whom the
story is named.
These are the characters in a tale
as real and interesting as any the
author of THE Pettison Twins" ever
wrote.
1t is understood that Mrs. Hill is
to write a whole series of theatrical
stories for 1.-THE American Magazine.
