IOWA PHARMACEUTICAL Asso.
CITATION CONVENTION HAS A
HAPPY OPENING.

Formally of the kind that pervades
drawing rooms was not among those
present last night at the opening meet
ing of the thirtieth annual convention
Of the Iowa Pharmaceutical associa-
ton, but instead King Cheerfulness
with his retinue of joyous souls was
literally impersonated by the visiting
pill-mixers and their hospitable hosts,
the Ottumwa druggists. While there
was more than one who portrayed the
role of good-fellows, the one who wore
the largest button setting forth his de,
gree of Bachelor of Joviality was, of
course, Hon. Willard H. Torbert of
Dubuque. His response to Senator E.
g. Moons address of welcome, through
which the ring of sincerity echoed
gave the audience of pharmacists and
lady companions their first glimpse #
what a really agreeable make of man
the Iowa druggists are. He continued
along this same line later in the even.
ing, when he suggested that little of
the time spent in convention be given
over to an Interchange of personal
feelings between the delegates attend.

The auditorium of the Y NJ. G. A.

welcome, response and address b.
President Franken were number OF
delightful compositions by the orches-
ira. Rev. w. c. Hengen, rector OF
Trinity church, invoked the divine
blessings, following which cafe the
address Of welcome.
The sincerity Of Senator E. G.
Moons words of welcome was not lost
sight of by the assembled druggists
who literally applauded the legisla
tor at the conclusion of his remarks
Mr.. Moon referred to the Iowa Phar
maceutical association as body VI
men who We're pride to the state
men who are citizens of the highest
order, whose very appearance denote
good citizenship. He humorously re
ferred to the ''wetness" of Ottumwa at
the present time, saying that the oltlv
dry spell suffered here was for short
duration. The vocation Of druggist
said he, was Of ancient origin and one
that should be matter Of pride t.,
every man in it. In conclusion h.
said the Importance of the vocation
was eloquently attested by the activ
tiles and the recognition gained from
the state legislators, and he expressed
the hope that the deliberations of tn
convention would be agreeable to each
participant as the presence Of the
Iowa Pharmaceutical association was

program had to be omitted. The Iowa

concerts during the day. The merry

for many. Quite a good sized crowd

remainder of the day. There was also
a ball game in the afternoon.

The over supply of moisture furnish
ed by the weather man is playing con-
siderable havoc with the railroad lines
that enter Ottumwa. The Burlington
seems little disturbed in so far as the
main line is concerned, but as to the
branch lines it is an entirely different
matter. The Milwaukee trains have
been abandoned in certain direc-
lions and traffic badly tied up. The
telegraph lines along some Of the
water affected districts are down and
the telegraph companies are relaying
messages for them. Sand, piling
cinders, ties and al conceivable mater
ial for the repairing of bad track,
washed out bridges, etc., are being
shipped with all haste from the dlVl-
sion terminals along with extra gangs
and work trains to the submerged
districts.
Hold Train Last Night.
The Wabash train No. IA, due to
leave Ottumwa last night at 1880, was
held here during the night and No. !
due here from the south at 6:55 a. m.
cinders, ties and all conceivable mater
did not arrive until noon, when Nos.
95 and 81 were brough in. A message
sent the local agent here stated:
Don't call any Wabash trains until
notified. G. A. Ross, trainmaster."
The cause Of the trouble is said to be
a washout on Soap creek near Carbon
and also close to Belknap. An in
spection special left this morning to
the scene of the trouble.
Milwaukee Worst Sufferer.
n .@,.a L. M, hn
at Newton and hemmed in on both
ends by water, No. of the Milwaukee
was returned through Ottumwa as NO.
8 and No. 5, which were were tied up
at Seymour all day, was backed to
Ottumwa and sent to Kansas City yes
terday at GAS p. m. over the Burling-
ton to Galesburg. A washout on the
Hannibal division would not permit
sending the train by that line. No. 8
this morning went as far as Powers
Vile and will return as No. this
evening. No. came as far last night
as Davenport where it was detoured by
the Burlington to Galesburg and on to
Kansas City. Freight traffic is
abandoned on the west division.
Unaffected Here.
The Rock Island is having nc
trouble on the Keolluk and Des Moines
division through Ottumwa, but the
Missouri lines south from Eldon in the
vicinity of Princeton and Mercer are
suffering from the high water.
The Burlington has a pretty com
plete tie-up on the St. Joseph lines
both to Charlton and Creston. On the
GAINESVILLE branch the trouble lies be.
tween Van Vert, Leon and GAINESVILLE
The line is operated from Van Vert
to Des Moines. The trouble lies in
the washing away of the dumps at
each end of the many Of the bridges
along the affected lines.

CUSHMAN Was
BORN in low
WAS HINGToN CONGRESSMAN
WHO DIED YESTERDAY SPENT
BoYHooD IN BRIGHTON.

Washington, July 7.-Representative
Cushman of Washington, who. died OF
pneumonia in New York hospital
Yesterday was formerly Of Iowa. He
was born in Brighton, in Washington
county and was educated at the high
Plain academy of Jefferson county. He
assisted himself in securing an edu-
cation by working as waterboy on a
railroad near his home and later as
section hand. He left Iowa at the age of
sixteen and went west. Had he lived
ne would have been senator from
Washington to succeed Piles.
While Representative Cushman pos
sessed unchallenged the title Of house
hunorist," he was universally regard
ed as far more than that. His high
ability was recognized by Speaker
Cannon in committee assignments,
particularly in his selection to fill a
vacancy on the ways and means com
mittee at time when new tariff bill
was to be reported to the house for
consideration.
One striking thing about Represent
alive Cushman was that he never dis
played his gift of humor to the house
for its mere amusement, but always
with view of impressing his view
more forciblv upon that body. In con-
trast with some humorists who have
passed INTO history, his Ta1ne sQOeS not
rest on a single speech. His maiden
effort in the house attracted SO much
attention to him that ever thereafter
he gained hearing as soon as he
arose. His style of expression and his
homely appearance had quite as much
to do with the effect as his humorous
remarks.
One of his first speeches to attract
attention touched upon the effects of
the panic of 1923. In describing the i'm
poverished condition to which his con-
stituents were reduced he said they
were forced to live on CLAIMS, washed
ashore by the incoming tide.
Their stomachs," he concluded,
rose and fell with the rising and fall
ing of the tide"
He probably will be long remember
ed for the effectiveness of his humor
in the debates on the Payne tariff bill
in the house. His speech in defense
of retaining the duty on lumber secur-
ed several additional votes for it, it
was said, at the time the house voted

In his speech, Monday, in support of the Senate tariff bill, Senator Aldrich asserted his belief that the measure will produce a sufficient revenue, that tax on incomes is not needed, and that the unprecedented eXtrava- gance'' of the last Congress caused the present revenue deficit. But he did not mention the subject of duties on coal, wood pulp and hides, which do not appear in the measure and are left to the direct action of the Senate.
 Senator Aldrich stands nearly alone in his belief that the bill will produce a sufficient revenue. Most close observ- CTS hold that it will provide not nearly enough revenue. The Senator did not so state, but it is not difficult to see that he believes the Senate will levy duties on coal, wood pulp and hides and thus secure a sufficient revenue. In no other way is it possible to ac- count for his belief in the sufhciency of the bill and for his opposition to such direct revenue-producers as taxes on incomes, inheritances, etc. The duty reductions in the Senate bill are evil dently designed to make necessary a reimposition of duties upon such trust products as coal, wood pulp and hides.

Judge Gary, the executive head of the Steel Trust, now says that Presi- dent Roosevelt was mot entirely ac- curate" in his statement that the pur- pose of the Trusts absorption of it's greatest competitor,t the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., was to check the mon ey panic'' of 1907-0s. This assertion knocks out the one prop under MT. Roosevelt's defence upon the charge that he gave his consent to an absorp- tion which was in direct violation of the antitrust law. According to Judge Gary, the Steel Trust had this absorp
 tion under consideration before the money panic. and it is fairly evident that the panic was adroitly used to procure the Roosevelt consent. The most skilled brains of the country are evidently at the call of the big trusts.

who packed the General Assembly against the measure, to Speaker Banks who apparently packed the Judiciary committee, grave errors have been made, errors which will fruit very un- happily for the party responsible for them. Public sentiment favors very strongly the creation of a public util- ities commission, and is not likely to change between the present time and the election of 1910. The Republican managers will probably be told then with emphasis that it is injudicious to show so clearly as in this case their complete subserviency to the dictation of public service corporations.

Single heads for departmental boards IS advocated by the Mayor of Hartford. Upon this question. there is a wide diff ference Of opinion. Opponents of the proposition allege that it is in the na- ture of centralization of power, and that it increases the chances of graft. 1" Advocates assert that a greater effi- ciency Of operation is secured. Per haps there is somewhat of good judg- ment upon both sides of the proposi- tion.

The Sultan of Turkey stands in grave danger of removal from his position. He is accused by the Young Turks of procuring the overthrow of the Cab met organized by them, by means of a dextrously devised combination of re- dictionaries and radical progressives, and of plotting for abandonment of the constitution and for a full resumption of his former autocratic power. As the Young Turks control the larger part of the army, 1t would seem that they can force the Su1tan's abdication, but he is one of the keenest of strate- gists and may yet turn the tables upon his enemies.

Hartford's Mayor declares, in his an- nuaI message, that the city must in crease either its grand list or it's tax rate. It seems strange that the capital of the State, the seat of both executive and legislative power, should be eith- 3er ignorant or disregardfu1 of the law requiring full-value assessments-yet such appears to be the fact Worse UtiI1, there does not seem to be any overpowering disposition to correct the situation in accord with the law. It would perhaps be indiscreet to even in timate the existence of any connection between Hartford's under-value assess ments and Hartford's apparent senti- ment in favor of a direct State tax upon the towns.

On June 11th. there will go into effect

On June 11th, there will go into effect in the State of Washington an anti-tip- ping law, under which the givers or receivers of tips in public houses or pdblic service corporations may, upon conviction, be either fined $250 or i'm prisoned for 90 days. Washington seems to be in advance of the other states upon this matter. Tipping is an importation from England and it's prevalence is most extensive in '1ush'' times. Givers of tips hold that through them they "get better ser vice. if this be true, employers must be lax in exacting proper service from employees. Recipients of tips allege generally that they are insuficiently paid: if so, the fault is again with the employers
 The practice is wrong both in prin- ciple and effect. Wrong in principle because the entire revenue from place of business belongs of right to it's own CT; wrong in effect, because it may cause poor service to patrons who do not give tips. Rightly, employers should pay adequate wages and pro- hibit tips.

In connection with the unanimous re- lection of the public utilities bill by the Judiciary committee, the Hartford Courant declares that such commits sion will arrive some day in Connecti- cut and it's teeth are likely to be stout CT and sharper than this scheme The Courant adds:
