Verdict for DR.. Pierce

Sending truth after lie. It Is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. r. v. Pierce

in the May 19ON number Of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis

woman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
ents. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 100000, 90 damages.
DIR. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witty the intent of injuring his
business Furthermore. that no alcohol, or
other Injurious. or habit-forming, drugs
are, or over were, contained in his rFa-

DeS MOlneS.-The Iowa state leglS-
lature adjourned on the 9th. About
$50 laws were made by it. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that no legislature of
this state ever passed SO many I'm
portant measures and no assembly in
any state of the union ever adj
journed with as many laws, classed
as reform legislation, to its credit.
Among the achievements of the as
sembly was series of laws calcu-
lated to divorce the politics of the
people from the control of the cor
porations.
The primary elections law is the
chief one of these measures. 1t gives
the people the right to vote in secret
and to have their votes counted for
the nomination of the man of their
choice for public Office from United
States senator down.
Senator Peterson's bill to prohibit
corporations from contributing to the
campaign funds of political parties
and to the campaign of candidates
for Office, both before primaries and
the general election, supplements the
primary bill.
| the federal statute Under this law
receive a pass, while his less influen-
railroads. Only men who are en-
| ployed chiefly on the railroads can
| ride on passes and certain excepted
classes such as employees, stock ship
pers, ministers, etc.
80, xr,s{ Low hall oh
| ing passes the assembly handed to the
people of the state a law requiring
| the railroads to charge not to exceed
2 cents mile for passengers. At
the same time the legislature enacted
law giving the state railroad COM
mission the power to revise all of the
freight rate schedules.
The commission also has been au-
thorizef by the assembly to fix the
speed of stock and other freight
trains in Iowa. The commission mas
been given power to fix express
charges, also.
The legislature has vitalized the
antitrust laws of Iowa. They have
been unconstitutional hitherto.
The legislature gave some attention
to specific matters affecting corpora
| tions, too. Representative Paul Still
| man got through bill to prohibit all
sorts Of grain combinations and Sen
ator Joe Mates got through the kin
dred bill to stop bucket shopping in
| Iowa.
An anti-tipping bill by Hambleton
which will stop the Pullman porter
and the waiter from taking tip and
will prevent the agent of a business
house or public officer from accept
ing a commission from a purchaser
or seller for completing deal with
his employer was passed.
In this connection comes the Saun-
ders law which prohibits corporations
from making false or exaggerated re.
ports concerning the value of their
stocks or property and will put stop
ITO the exploitation Of fake schemes
More important, however, is the Pet
erson law to require all corporations
10 have paid up capital stock. This
effectively squeeZes the water out OF
the stocks of corporations organized
in Iowa.
