Eight-Inch Patent Tension
Spring Shears

The Shears being distributed by the
Palladium and Sun-Telegram are man.
ufactured of the very highest grade
steel, perfectly tempered and heavily
nickel plated on a highly polished
surface. The patent tension spring
takes up all the wear on the rivet so
that the cutting edges will never wear
dull. A simple turn of the little
thumb screw will adjust the blades to
cut anything from the thinnest and
most delicate fabric to the heaviest
material. Every woman who has had
the exasperating and trying exper-
fence of attempting to cut with a dull
pair of shears, will appreciate the val
ue of this new invention.

The MILITARY COMPANY.

The following comments directed at
Newton by the Burlington Hawk-Eye
hit the situation so squarely that they
might equally well be aimed at oska'
loosa. The Hawk-Eye says:
Newton will probably build new
armory this season, And that is the
right thing TO do. II a town wants, a
militia company she ought to want
the very best company in the regiment,
or in the state And she ought to
house the company IN a modern, con-
venient armory and she ought to
show in every possible way that she
Is interested in her company. Every
town has everything that 1t wants
and that It deserves. And every
thing in town reflects the city and
its spirit. II Newton's military COM
pany is given a poor rating everybody
will ask what is the matter with New
ton and everybody will surmise that
the company fairly represents the
town and that the town wants just
that sort of a company. II not, she
would either have. a, first-class COM
pany or she would have none. s..s.

Keosauqua Republican: Governor
Cummins was not In Keosauqua on
Wednesday last to speak. Sickness OF
grandchild prevented his coming,
but word was not received until that
forenoon that he could not come.
However, he sent a resident of Des
Moines, who gave his name as'"Jo
Dyer, to speak for him. "A fair-sized
audience met in the opera house to
hear him, and, conservatiyely speak
ing, fully half of those present were
democrats, and democrats did about
all the applauding that was done. And
it is not surprising that they were
amused, for the speech did not con-
tain single criticism of democratic
policies, but was made up of denun'
citation of republican senators, CON
gressmeu and the policies of the ma
tional republican legislative body
DYER commenced his speech by pay
ing his respects to the Keosauqua Re-
publican, and then launched into
ridiculous TRADE against congress, de-
riding Senators Allison, Dolliver, Al
drich. Elkins, ct al, even dragging
from the grave the revered late Sena-
tor John II. Gear, the speaker de-
grading manhood and shaming his
own personal decency by shutting his
feet over the stage floor in mimickry
of how he said Senator Gear wal@ ed
during the later years of his life. So
pauseating was the harangue that n
Cummins supporter from Bonaparte.
after it was over, swore that the fel-
low would have to shut off sucn RI
badly as that II he spoke that evening
in Bonaparte. And we understand he
did. He had evidently been told some
thing; it's said he scarcely mentioned

AhALYzlNe The DEFICIT.

st. Louis Globe-,Democrat: Last
fall when the furry appeared there
was no treasury deficit and the sec
rotary expected a surplus of $50,00O,-
600 by the end of the fiscal year. June
30 next. But the general liquidation
and retrencbment that set in have
caused a deficit between July 1 last
and the middle of the present month
of SAL, 100000. At the Same April
date last year the surplus was $751;
100000, and by the end of the fiscal
year went up to $S5,O00,O00. If the
deficit by the end of June should
reach $50,O0Q,000 the difference be-
tween this year and last will amount
to 100000. The people should
familiarize themselves with the causes
of this change, for they are certain to
be misrepresented during a national
campaign. How has the falling on
occurred?. The. answer is mainly in
the. government reyenu9as "a result Of
the furry. Expenses have not been
increased unreasonably. But the adj
vice in congress in behalf of economy
Is sound.
So far in this fiscal year the falling
off in duties paid on imports is $32,-
100000. In the same period internal
revenue receipts declined $12,0O0,OO0.
Expenditures have increased $685.
OO6 900, of which $4,2000,000 has gone
to the War Department, $1S,000,0O0
to the navy, $15,OOO,vOO for pubnc
buildings and $11,60O,OOO for pen
sions. The pensioning of soldiers for
age has recently been put into effect.
There is one item of reduced ex-
penditure, and that is $6,20O,000 in in
terest payments. Nearly all the bond
ed debt has been refunded at per
cent The people will find in these
figures no proof of the needless ex.
travagance that will be charged. Yet
they suggest that the economists in
congress are right in their counsel for
prudence in the treatment of apprO
priations.

ABIDE BY The RESULT.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
err calls upon the Herald and other
leading Iowa daily papers TO declare
itself on the question as to whether II
will abide by the results OF the Pr
mary Election Law. l.. 10, ....
II has been a cardinal principle OF
the Heralds policy during its 5S
years of life to obey the laws, oil the
land. and abide by the will of the ma.
jority of the republican party. ..
1t sees no reason for changing that
policy now, and ordinarily would re-
sent the intimation that it even con-
sidered such a course. But as the
Register and Leader has grief enough
on it's hands already the Herald will
pass the point without protest.
The Herald does not like the state
wide primary system. Never did, and
had fought it in every honorable way.
1t is expensive. Gives the cities of
Iowa control of the state. Means two
elections in one year. Makes voting
difficult, and serves no good purpose
except to continue well organized
machine in power. D..
But, more's the pity, it was enacted
by the state legislature of Iowa and
signed. by the governor, and however
unpleasant ~it may be to the people,
there is nothing left to do but to try
and five through it.
And now we would like to know
what the Register and Leader is 60
ing to do about the matter itself?

The time is past when mothers may
with safety look only after their own
children, according to Miss Jane Ad-
dams of Chicago, who spoke in St
Louis last Sunday before the Ethical
Culture society on "Woman's Rela-
ton to Social Amelioration." Her
address was on the dangers surround
ing children, especially in the crowd
ed districts of the larger cities, and
methods of overcoming the exposure
to these evils with ways to reform
children who have come in contact
with these evils. Among other things
she said: +
an" the1 cities if our own children
are to be uncontaminated, the morals
of the many must be raised In cities
you can't depend altogether on per

work. She can best understand the

provision for entertainment and rec
reation after labor can be secured
Miss Adams holds that 1t is as
much woamn's duty to look after
the city children as her own If she
would realize the highest good to her
own. This is the work not of any
special social settlement worker, but
of the household woman, who repre-
sents the traditional aspect of what
a woman. ought to do.
