ROOSEVELT ON ALLISON.

One CT the sharp practices used by
those in charge of the Cummins' cam
paign is to hoodwinK the. voters into
the belief that Senator Allison is not
in harmony with the policies of Pres
ident Roosevelt. There is no more
competent witness concerning that
proposition than President Roosevelt
himself. The republicans of this state
who are interested in knowing the
truth should read tie following com
munication which President Roosevelt
sent to Senator Allison following the
passage of the rate bill, and which IS
found in the Congressional Record OF
May II, 1906:
You will doubtless recall that IN
the course of the several visits that
you personally made we discussed 4
number of these proposed amend
ments, trying to find out for which one
there could be obtained sufficient
body Of assent to secure its passage
and the passage OF the rate bill.
Ito almost every amusement pro-
posed by any one found that there
were other excellent men who object
ed. or who at least wished to change
II. and finally became convinced that
II was impossible for senators with
advantage to use me as the interme-
diary in coming to an agreement with
their colleagues. especially when they
only communicated with me through
another Intermediary. and | EARNEST

-The supreme COURT Of Iowa las I

The supreme court of Iowa has de-
cided that when the voters get to-
gether to select school officers it is
an election, though me law does not
refer to it as an election. The case
came up in connection with the viola
ton OF the prohibitory liquor law by
a saloon in Des Moines. The saloon
was kept open on the day OF school
election and suit was brought De.
Tense was made on the theory that
this was not sucn an election as con-
templated in the law and that it was
no violation Of me law 10 keep open
on school election days. fhe supreme
court says this is not true, but that
school officers are selected at true
elections. hence in the future Iowa
saloons will have to remain closed on
such days.

with the primary election Monday.
The vote was less than half that cast
at the city election two years ago
and of the ballots cast many were
found to be worthless because the
people did not know how to mark the
ballots where the names of the candi.
dates were not printed and it was
necessary to paste on stickers. One
reason for the light vote was that
voters left the polls wnen advised
they had to announce their party
affiliation before being given ballot.

scape gardening without parallel may

On each side Of The railway line at
short intervals hawthorn bushes have
been planted, and skillful hands have
prdned these bushes into a variety Of
shapes, grotesque and symmetrical;
peacocks, ROSTERS. tables, chairs, bow.

are clearly depicted
As the bushes are just now in full

In one instance the tail OF a rooster
was mass of white bloom. and in
another the nodding plnmes in lady
