SHAW plsclosss THE SITUATION.

S1NW Ob0VkOSES bUS. SttSeNSbVsSs
Leslie M. Shaw, we'll known in
Iowa, since. being relieved of the re-
closed to the people of Iowa the real
situation in his relations to the Roose-
Welt administration. The disclosure is
important in view of the misrepresen-
lation it has been given In our fac
tional political controversies.
1t will be remembered that after
State Treasurer Herriott had thor
oughly convicted Governor Shaw Of
subserviency to the Northwestern
railroad in the matter of railway as
sessments. mighty movement grew
UP in Iowa which crystallized about a..
b. Cummins for its leader. The result
of that campaign was the nomination
OF Cummins for governor and the abb
solute reputation Of Shaw by his
party.
Then 1t was that the president COM
mitted one of the strange inconsist-
encies for which his political career
has been notable. Out of the debris of
reputation and disgust in which the
ex-governor Of Iowa had been left, the
president rescued him with a sudden
promotion to seat in his cabinet
From thenceforth it was argued by
the repudiated faction OF railroad pol
iticians in Iowa that the selection Of
Shaw was guarantee Of sympathy
and endorsement for their school of
politics by the president.
In many subsequent state CAM
ipaign the men Of real Roosevelt poll
cies in Iowa politics were compelled
to overcome the prejudiced and false
situations arising from the Roosevelt
cabinet minister's presence in Iowa
opposing the purposes Of the Cummins
leadership. Our people were told that
the secretary Of the treasury came di-
rect from Roosevelt and that when he
spoke in Iowa campaigns, he spoke the
message of the president. Men who
knew the game of politics knew that
this was lie, but it was one of those
lies that are extremely difficult to
nail down.
Now the truth is out. Shaw has
left the cabinet, and if not repudiated,
as in Iowa, at least sorely disappoint-
ing to the man who has selected him.
In Washington, as in Des Moines, he
had proved himself the partisan friend
of the interests, and he left the cabi-
net lacking the confidence of the pres
ident. He is out of office, and having
had his ambitions turned down by the
leaders Of the interests which he has
served, he feels that he is out of poll
tics Free and unrestrained, he pro-
ceeds to speak his mind, and, as he
speaks, the truth flashes forth for the
of the people of his state.
He calls President Roosevelt dema-
cog He censures his administration
as destructive of business confidence
and commerce Instead Of the friend
of the president, sent to Iowa to de-
liver the weight of the presidents in
nuence for the destruction of men like
Cummins and the movement which he
leads, the creature of Judge Hubbard
presents the Wall street criticism of
Roosevelt, the unsafe, the unsound and
the insincere. The people of Iowa
have at last learned exactly for what
Shaw stands in the politics of our
day.

CUMMINs ON REGULATION.
(Fonda Times.)

Senator Dolliver said he would give
$1,000 for the production Of a word
from Governor Cummins prior to the
fall of 1904 relative to railroad regu-
lation. Governor Cummins said at
Minneapolis on May 1, 1902: IT do not
wonder that man like Morgan with a
few associates desired to control all the
transportation facilities of the United
States as well as the seas that wash
the shores Of the republic. I under
stand perfectly that the problem before
us is grave one; but l arm not dis
mayed, because we are in the habit OF
meeting grave problems. Many reme-
dies have been proposed and 1t is,
hope, with proper humility that l sug-
gest first that no corporation whether
Industrial or otherwise, should be per-
mitted to issue stock unless paid for
in money, at its par value"

adroit. The T.-R. did not criticize any
body, executive council or others, for

were not needed, selling them to the
junk man was good policy. All the
T.-R. had in mind was that the code
commission had made an expensive
mistake in printing so many useless
copies. We knew that Trew1n was
the code commission and presumed
that Mr. Murphy did the printing. In
this, it seems, we were entirely cor
rect, altho Murphy shows that he got
the work as competitive bidder and
not as a state official. Mr.. Trewin's
and Mr.. Murphy's faction in the party
is making many general charges of ex-
travagance, and it occurred that this
specific one ought to arrest their at
tention, and it has. Not subscribing
to the charge that the state has been
extravagantly managed. the T.-R. is
not disposed to magnify this incident.
It came up and was m erely mentioned.

AN EXAMPLE OF REFORM.
(Davenport Times.)

The system used by the Civic Fed
Grafton to get information against the
saloons of Davenport was revealed In
the trial of case in the district court
yesterday afternoon. Three young
men, one claiming to be only II years
old, have been paid So day for sew
eral weeks to watch the saloons, and
have been provided with expense mon
ey so that they could buy drinks. The
witnesses also admit that they have
been taking women with them, and
have bought whisky for the women.
Here we have, then, representative
citizens of Davenport, posing to be re-
formers, hiring men to do things that
they themselves would not do-and all
in the name of decency and reform
It seems to establish the theory that

may do by proxy. If some member OF,
the Civic Federation had discovered
these three young men in some Of the
places and had summoned them as
witnesses, 1t would have been an en-
tirely different proposition, but as 1t
stands the federation is put In the POI
sition of hiring men to do things that
neither it's president nor any OF it's
members would do.

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and q woman's work ccm-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs OF the field to-
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years ~
the study OF drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and erica
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized az the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of 615 NC. ST.
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
IS Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that Tor the sake
Of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suner-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what / suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
L followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. Il is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women
What Lydia E. Pinkham's vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
twill do for other suffering women.

1t is noted by the Brooklyn Chron-
