fected dust from the city streets
the only form of dangerous dust
is killing three people for every
four that die of old age. Bad milk
kills more human beings than there
are cows to supply the milk. Bad
food has caused a growing death
roll. Infection from natural ice has
become such a serious menace that
some drastic system of inspection is
needed" Sober, serious, everyday
truths that apply with as much force
to Davenport as they do to New
York or any other city. We know
here in Davenport quite as well as
they do in the metropolis of the
country that the facts stated by DR..
Ayers are as undeniable as they are
common. We do next to nothing
to improve the sanitary condition.
We inhale infected dust every day
we walk the streets, and allow itstc
come into our homes, school houses
and places of business. Milk in
spection is form rather than a
safe guard, here and all over the
state. As for bad food, it can be
found almost anywhere. And SO on
through the list. We are all more
concerned about business and q
hundred other affairs OF secondary
Importance than we are about the
vital considerations of health

A Genuine Book Play Success.

Quincy Adams Sawyer" the
dramatization of Charles FELTON, Pid-
gins famous New England novel
of the same name, is one of the very
few notable instances where book
plays have been successful. The
temptation to put on tie stage the
dramatization of successful and
widely read novel is great. There
is always the advantage that the
name of the play has already had SO
much publicity through the sales Of
the novel, but in about nine of ten
cases the book play is failure In
this instance the majority of people
declare that they like Quincy
Adams Sawyer" as play even bet
ter than they did the book The
permanent success of this latest of
rural dramas has been assured by
the unprecedented business the play
has done everywhere. The engage
ment here will be for one night
only October 2, 1907, and the en-
tire New York cast and production
is promised the patrons of Central
Opera House, Manchester, Iowa.

Democrats Will Not Take Part in the
Republican Primaries.

A DesMoines newspaper recently
published what purported to be an
interview with Congressman Dan
Hamilton, of the Sixth District, and
represented Mr.. Hamilton as saying
that many democrats would vote for
Governor Cummins at the primaries
next year. ose who are person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Hamilton
did not believe that he ever said
any such thing.
General Weaver was quick to saw:
sit hardly seems possible that
Mr. Hamilton has been correctly re-
ported. If he has not been misrep
resented, no graver mistake was
ever made by an Iowa politician.
Democrats will not vote for Gov
ernor Cummins at the primary ele :
ton. They cannot do so and re-
main self-respecting nor without
committing moral perjury"
And Mr. Hamilton, when his at.
tention was called to the matter said:

A remarkable exodus to the
United States of young unmarried
women is under way from various
parts Of the United Kingdom, prin-
cipally from Ireland and England.
Over 1000 young women have tax
en- passage on the Baltic alone, and
and other steamers have booked
large numbers. Steamship agents
are at loss to account for the un-
expected increase in the number OF
young women emigrants. Nearly
all the women who have already
sailed are said to have expressed
their intention of Of seeking domes
tic service in either United States O,
Canada. One explanation offered
for the unexpected westward rush
is the cut in storage rates. The
agents say that nearly all the emf
grants have never crossed the
Atlantic before.

The Cedar Rapids Republican Tired o.
Imperialism.

Under the caption, Free Trade
and the Philippines" the Cedar
Rapids Republican comments edi-
torially as follows:
Congressman Hull's dictum in
favor of free trade with the Philip
pines springs, no doubt, largely
from personal interests in the is
lands. We understand he has made
some investment there. But he
would be better able to discharge
his duties asia congressman if he
had no such personal interests. Free
trade with the PHILIPPINES may not
do great deal Of harm but a better
disposition of that question would
be to cut loose from the islands.
The United States should never have
taken the islands and its policies
ought now to be shaped to getting
rid Of them at the earliest oppor-
tunity. A whole lot of people went
crazy over the Philippines, few
years ago as the people will go
crazy over one proposition after
another. But we have never re-
ceived any benefits commensurate
with our expenditures and RESPONSE
bilities. We have no business over
there. We are not in the business
of governing provinces. We have
plenty to govern at home. Con
gresham Hull would better sell his
lands in the islands and the United
States would better sell all the is
lands in lump and get rid of a
problem with which we have no
business to interfere. Let the brown
and the yellow brethren have some
self-governed abiding places and let
us keep our lands for the white
races, who are or aspire to be Amer
lean citizens together with such
blacks as we have inherited from
the damnable institution Of human
slavery.

New York. Sept. 21.--Hiding of its

regarding its earnings from being

against the Standard Oil company in

by ATTORNEY kellogg.
Mr. TilfolSl said the company's divl-

that the dividends in some of the sub,

Standard Oil Worse Than Feudal Lords
or Russian Grand Dukes.

The evidence now being taken in
N W York, in the action commen-
ced by the government to dissolve,
or to speak plainly to kill, the
Standard Oil Company, discloses a
condition worse than anything ever
before claimed by anyone.
Z The evidence shows that in addi-
ton to every expense connected
with their business, this combina-
ton of criminals has for a long time
been taking from the consumers of
a single necessary Of life, $500
every minute, $4,5OO.O0 every hour
and $lOS,O0O.OO every day. And
the despicable schemes by which
these results have been accomplish
ed are without parallel in the his
tory of grasping, ravenous criminals.
No Russian grand duke ever re-
sorted to such base and gigantic ex-
tortion. No Feudal lord of the
middle ages ever took from the Ia
boring masses of his day and age
such colossal sums of money.
And the evils of Standard Oil are
by no means confined to the oil
business. The money which has
been extorted from the people by
this monopoly has been used to fur
Their exploit the people in other in
dustries. Standard Oil money is a
dominant factor in several great
railways, in Amalgamated Copper,
in the Steel Trust, in line of
banks. and in numerous public-ser-
vice corporations. No such wealth
Juggernaut ever before existed in
any country or in any age. 1t is an
inhuman monstrosity, which has
robbed labor of its earnings, pur-
chased elections for its dupes and
agents, and used them to corrupt
the government and disgrace the
country.
The state created this monster,
and has the power to destroy it. 1t
has long been public enemy, and
has committed innumerable crimes
for which it should have been killed.
1t is now on trial for its life and the
prosecution has the people on its
side.
