HARD ON THE GOVERNOR
Judge Prouty's Observation on the
Pass and Two Cent Hare

Judge Prouty in his campaign for
the governor relates that he rode on
a train in Missouri last year, his fell
low passengers being a millionaire
and poor man with a family He
Travelled on a mileage book at two
cents mile and the millionaire on an
annual pass, while the poor man was
compelled TO pay three cents a mile
for himself. and the same for his wife,
Prouty continues:
Again and again have the members
Of the Iowa state legislature sought to
correct this injustice. but each time
the measure has failed, but. thank
God. under the leadership Of Albert b.
Cummins we have elected a legisla-
ture that has wiped it out This evil
was just as great twenty years ago
as II was last year. There was just
rs much Of crying need for that law
ten years ago as now. Why was ii
not enacted? The railroads had the

negative votes was cast by Albert r.
Cummins and later on, in 1901, his
delegates to the state convention
Travelled on passes while the poor
man with family and no political
pull paid three cents a mile. Now
we have Judge Prouty's word for il
that this evil of discrimination against
the poor man was "just as great
twenty years ago as it was last year."
Just as great on April 4, 1888, the
year after the adoption Of the anti
Yass clause in the interstate com
merce law for which Senator Allison
voted, just as great during the general
assemblies in which the anti-pass bill

Water and Ereexind.

Although water is supposed to freeze
aN32 degrees. you med not try to make
ice at that temperature. All you will
get in a tubful will be a thin outer
shell filed with very wet water. Sea
water freezes at q degrees nominally,
and the ice is always fresh. One of the
old and very common beliefs is that
hot water freezes more quickly than
cold. This is nature fake. Another
false belief Is that impurities are
frozen out of the Ice, yet we all ought
to know that some Ice is so impure that
its water is dangerous to drink. Most
people will insist that 1t is the thawing
OF Ice In frozen pipes Dat bursts them.
Wrong. The freezing does the bursting;
the thaw exposes the damage.

Roy Godsey. business manager Of
the Bloomfield Republican: There Is
deep seated feeling among Repubh-
cans Of Iowa that Senator Allison of
Iowa should be retained In the senate.
This feeling also pervades the national
congress. This 10 the natural sequence

No public servant has the influence in
Washington that Is now accorded the
senior senator from this state; his re-
markable record on the side Of the
people will give him great strength at
the June primaries
For thirty-five years he has been q
commanding figure in the great policies
Of the Republican party and in max
ing the American people the power
they are today in the commercial and
financial centers He has never posed
as an agitator or reformer, but his
work speaks for the most advanced
thought Of the voters Of Iowa and the
entire country. He represents the
solid, substantial type of statesman
ship that stands the test Of legal tech
nicalities and the supreme court, there
by giving to the people enduring monu-
ments of legislation. Today he is the
very basis Of President Roosevelt's
power in controlling trusts and COM
bines. He is old, but the ideas he rep
resents and the statutes he has written
and IL now advocating are young and
full Of national vitality. Allison men
have a right to be proud Of states

RECORD OF A. B. CUMMINS
Friendly Eye OF Glidden Graphic Can
SEQ No Guile in Governor.

The governors literary bureau hac
Issued pamphlet on What Cummins
Has Done" consisting Of a reply by
the editor OF the Glidden Graphic &c
q request from the Ames IntelligenceI
for information on this subject.
Under the head OF state legislation
accomplished by the governor this edi-
tor lists everything adopted by the
legislature the rast six years that is
supposed to be popular, but omits the
appropriations which have exhausted
the balance Of over one million dollars
the treasury contained when the gov
ernor assumed the executive office.
Under the miscellaneous head we
fnd the following:
High professional and ethical
ideals his aim"
There are no exhibits under this
head, though possibly reference was
intended to the Torbert letter, in
which this gentleman of high ideals
sOlemnly declared that he was not
candidate for Senator Allison's seat.
"Staunch defender of protective
principle Is another item under which
there are no exhibits. Can 1t be pos
sible that the editor had in mind the
governors proposal Of free trade with
Canada?
1t Is also stated that the governor
was the Defender Of the Iowa sol
diers In their efforts 10 have their record
properly defined on the monuments on
southern battle fields"
This matter was Strengthened out by
Senator Allison and Major Lacey
after the governor had made q botch

Finally we are told that the COVER
nor was the strongest witness for the

The governors testimony before
that committee was such that his
friends are striving to forget 1t. The
farmers Of Iowa. he told the commit
tee, are rea ching Eastern markets with
butter and eggs on rates to which
they are not entitled. Again he pro-
posed cost of service as the basis OF
rates, a basis that would render it i'm
possible to export Iowa's farm pro-

on present rates.

The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither viii Il Cure Il Because The =
Lack Of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach is a strong. powerful
organ. which is composed of muscles
Of great strength. II is filled during
digestion with gastric juices which.
when the stomach, extending and
COMPRISING the food dissolve It and
separate the nourishment from the
waste matter. II. however, these gas
trio juices are lacking. the stomach is
not capable Of digesting its food be-
cause II has not the tools with which
TO work successfully.
The gastric juices when IN a perfect
state do away with all foul odors. fer
mentation and decay. reduce the food
to a disintegrated mass and the ston-
ach then presses Il into the intestines
where another form Of digestion takes
place. Then the intestines take from
this mass Of food all that Is nourish-
ing and give II TO the blood. The waste
matter Is thrown from the system.
II instead Of nourishment the in
testines receive impure deposits COM
bined with a poisonous and imperfect
gastric juice. Il can be readily seen
that they must turn such imperfect
nourishnent int. the blood. The blood
then being unable 20 give each part
of the body that which it requires. be-
comes impoverished and disease Is
spread broadcast.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet corrects
such a condition at once. If the gas
trio juices are lacking and imperfect

the rabbit is all a mistake, and the
animal that appears in our Easter
pictures and done in sugar in the
windows OF the confectioners should
really be a hare, instead of a rabbit.
The hare has from time immemorial
been the symbol of the moon, and,
as the moon decides the time of
Easter, it is quite proper and natural
that the hare should be associated
with this season. In Germany the
Easter hare is almost as important a
parsonage as St. Nicholas, and it's
habits somewhat resemble those Of
that much loved saint. On the night
before Easter a white hare enters the
homes of all children who have been
good and hides in all sorts Of out-of-
the-way corners any number OF beau
tifully colored eggs. Anyway, the
children find the eggs when they hunt
for them, and it would perhaps be
presumption on the part of any one
who is not a German to express an
opinion as 70 where they really come
from.
A rabbit is moi a hare, although
they are cousins. There is one
marked difference between them. The
baby rabbit, as all know who keep
these little animals as pets, comes
into the world blind and helpless,
while the baby hare has it's eyes
open from the beginning, and is soon
able to take are of itself. 1t has
been believed that the hare never
closes it's eyes, and that is one rea-
son why it is chosen as the symbol
of the moon, which always has its
eyes open and sees everything that
goes on at night. Just how the rab-
bit error was introduced is not
known. 1t may have been all the
fault of the confectioners, who no
doubt thought they could make candy
without studying nature, and there
fore never learned hat there was any
difference between a rabbit and :.
hare.
The use OF eggs in the celebration
of spring is an ancient custom,
for the egg has always been the SYM
boil of creation and new life. 1t Is
easy to understand why this should
be, for every n knows that all the
downy little chickens and ducklings
come out of eggs, as we'll as a multi
tude of other birds that don't look
so pretty. because they are in such
a hurry to get out that they won't
wait to put on their downy garments.
The egg had been used in the Jewish
Feats of the Passover, and when the
Christian festival of Easter was estab-
lished its use was retained with an
added meaning. for it became the
symbol Of the Resurrection.
