CLEAR UP THE SUGAR TRUST
MYSTERY.

Through sworn testimony taken in
court, in legislative and congression-
al investigations and in other pro-
ceedlngs, the Sugar Trust is shown to
have been guilty Of
l. Bribing political committees of
both parties.
T. Seeking to influence United
states senators by stock tips and
other financial transactions.
3. Accepting rebates in violation
OF the Interstate commerce law.
4. Stealing from the United
staE9s government through weighing
frauds.
S. Ccnspiring to ruin indepen-
dent sugar refiners
6. Violating persistently the
Sherman antitrust law.
Z. Using short weight scales.
8. Blacklisting grocers who han
died Independent sugar
.. Importing cheap contract
10. Violating factory and health
laws
No high official was ever criminal
" prosecuted or convicted for any of
these offenses. The only indictments
ever found against any of them were
returned recently by a grand jury
after the trust had confessed in open
court that it had violated the Sher-
man law
The relation of the trust to the
government have long been intimate
and intricate. Its activities in con-
gress have rightly been des, ribed as
scandal. The reasons for it's long
and profitable immunity have never
been explained. What better work
for the publication of government
and commerce could a congressional
committee perform than to clear IN
this extraordinary mystery New

Senator Cummins is working up
strong factional fight between the
standpatters and progressives in
Iowa again. We believe he was for
harmony and wanted to bury the
Ratchet when it was to his personal
interest to do SO. Now that he
has been made senator on that
line of understanding it would
be much better if he would let
harmony reign than to renew
the old fight. What is there to
be gained by splitting the party in
this state anyway? All are republi-
cans. Mr.. Cummins has got all he
can get out of it. He has used his
progressive following to his personal
gain and now he should endeayor to
bury the Ratchet rather than stir up
strife. Lacey went down under the
determination to keep harmony and

WARE GOES BACK 10 THE PEN.
Supreme Court will Not Release Him
Pending the Hearing.

According to the best information
obtainable, Leroy Ware, the former
Seymour banker convicted of max
ing false entries, will remain in the
custody of the law until the supreme
court takes final action on the habeas
corpus proceedings inaugurated by
Attorney w. l.. Livingston, plain
tiffs counsel.
The court has not yet acted on
the motion offered by Attorney Liv-
ingston to have Wares parole recog-
nized pending the final decision.
The court did decide that the case
was so important and involved SO
many fine legal points that the facts
would have to be submitted to them
on printed abstract of facts, as we'll
as by printed arguments and briefs,

ond period of this session of the SUI
preme court, Dec. IA 1t is gener-
ally understood that the habeas cor
pus case is a civil action and not a
criminal one.
man filled with the court a motion
to squash the habeas corpus action
on the ground that the court had no
jurisdiction in the matter. The
county attorney claims that the ac-
ton should have been instituted in
the court of Judge Banks, of the
First judicial district, the later being
the nearest judge to Wares present
home, Fort Madison.
Attorney Livingston is of the opin-
ion that Attorney General Byers
takes the view that Judge Towner
had no jurisdiction to take the action
he did, and he further believes that
the decision of the district Judge is
unsound in that the board of parole
does not have authority to consider
the parole for prisoners convicted of
offenses committed prior to July 4,
1907.-Corydon Democrat.

ROOSEVELT IN 1912.

Champ Clark spoke with the voice
of true prophecy when he told an
audience of students at the UniverS-
fty of Michigan that Theodore Roose-
welt will be in the United States in
1912 to contest the presidential nom
nation of the republican party with
William Howard Taft. 1t was hardly
necessary for him to add that Roose-
velt's candidacy will make in the re-
publican condition of that year the
hottest time there has been in any
national convention since Grant was
beaten for third nomination in Chi
cago in 1880.
Mr.. Roosevelt is still younger than
the age at which most of our presi-
dents have entered upon their first
terms Born on October 27, 1858,
he will attain his fifty-fourth year a
few days before the election of 1912
is held. Fired with a restless ambi-
ton and feeling that the country
cannot survive unless "my policies"
are always strenuously enforced, it
is as certain as anything in the flu
ture can be that he will claim a
third election.
In preparation for such a candi-
dacy he could not have proceeded
more shrewdly than by taking him
self out of the country and into the
wilderness at the beginning of his
successors term of office. He there
by relieves himself of responsibility
for all that Mr.. Taft does or leaves
undone.
Already there are strong indica-
tons that the vacillating Taft will
prove a disappointment Taking the
Roosevelt policies, he has thus far
abjectly surrendered to the influences
with which Roosevelt fought specta-
cu1ar sham battles. Positive, ag-
gressive and loving the limelight, the
former executive will throw himself
into the next presidential contest
with vim which his rivals in the
republican party will find hard to
resist.
President Taft is only year older
than Mr.. Roosevelt He will natur-
silly want a second term. His only
chance of getting a second nomin-
atlon lies in the adoption of a
Vlr1le and positive course of action
consistent with the promises and
policies to which he is committed.
few more weak plumbers such as
he has made in the matter of the
tariff would be fatal if that blunder
is not already so. Mr.. Taft must
show the courage of his convictions
or he cannot be renominated, Roose-
welt or no Roosevelt.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Roosevelt can
pc renominated and still more doubt
ful ii he can be reelected. Deem
ing him dangerous man, the con-,
seryative forces of the country will
be compactly organized against him
and the anti-third-term tradition will
be worked against him for all it is
worth, as it was against Grant. But
however it may work out, We shall
certainly hear from Mr.. Roosevelt
with great noise in 1912.-St.
Louis Republic.

1t looks like Adams county is to
furnish the republican candidate for
congress. This is the original
home of Mr.. Darrah, the progressive
candidate, and is the present home of
Judge Towner, who is regarded as
the standpat candidate. They are
just candidates. The congressman
will be Hon. w. D. Jameson, of
Shenandoah, who knocked Col. Hep
burn out in the 18th round. He will
knock either of these candidates out

ADVICE TO WOMEN
A Message from a Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking
In Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their compilations
and to remove blackheads, crows
feet and other blemishes, through
the use of cosmetics. This treatment
fails because the trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They are suf-
fering from impure and impoverish-
ed blood. This condition is in many
cases due to catarrhal condition of
the whole system which finds it's ex-
preston in sallow, muddy complex
ion, dark-circled eyes, general weak
ness of the system and perhaps most
plainly in the weeping of mucous
membranes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, catarrh. Danish
this catarrh and the complexion will
clear as if by magic, eyes will bright
en- faces become rosy and shoulders
erect. Perfect beauty goes only with
perfect health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment-that which
will cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief for
cartarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Here
is her letter:
81 can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic eff
fects are remarkable. 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will
praise as l do its strengthening and
healing qualities"
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu-
cous cells-the congestion and in
flammation of which causes local
catarrh. This remedy causes poison
to be expelled from the system, and
the blood is purified and revitalized.
Thus the natural functions of the
mucous cells are restored, and the
membranes are cleaned and made
strong. We know that Rexall Mucu-
Tone does relieve catarrh. We pos
itiyely guarantee to refund the mon
ey paid us for this remedy in every
case where the user is dissatisfied.

creator of good compilations. Price

A POLITICAL ITEM.

The Creston American is authority
for the statement that Col. w. P.
Hepburn is not friendly to Judge
Towner, of Corning, and that he and
his friends would prefer Hon. !. H.
Darrah for congress instead of the
Judge-that is, while not being en-
tirely satisfied with either, would
make the choice as above stated.
This is given for what it is worth,
but before accepting campaign state

confirmation of time.

Referring to the effect of Presi-

arity, William Allen White writing
in the Emporia (Kas.) Gazette, says,
There is not in the west free

that have been answering in their
admiration and loyalty to the presi-
dent are saddened at his fearful mis-
take; but they are even more earn
est in their advocacy of their ideas
than before. The insurgent con-
gressmen and senator's have not lost
a supporter. The people are still be-
hind these men The presidential
rebuke has made them more heroic

A PLEASANT WAY TO
CURE CATARRH.

Poor deluded victims!
Continually sprinkling and spray
ing and stomach dosing
What are you doing it for?
Trying to kill the catarrh germs?
Might just as we'll try to kill cat
with fresh milk.
Sticking piece of chewing gum
in the upper left hand corner of the
right ear would slaughter just as
many germs.
You can't kill the germs that cause
catarrh unless you get where they
are.
You can get where the germs are
by breathing Hyomei, the powerful
yet soothing antiseptic, which is
prepared especially to kill catarrh
germs.
Just breathe it in, that's all. 1t
gives joyful relief in five minutes. 1t
