NATURE. OR THE TRUSTS"

].
Where shall we draw the line be-
tween nature and the trusts?' In
the midst OF the canning season when
the price OF sugar usually goes up.
there comes a shortage this year in
both the cane and the beet sugar crops.
due to the drouth in this country. And
in Germany and France. from whence
we import large quantities Of beet
sugar. unfavorable weather has re-
dcued the yield. Timothy seed in the
United States also has advanced. Put
ting the two together for a PROPOSE
ton, the Cedar Rapids Republican
makes a dig at the fellows who ignore
supply and demand and charge every
increase IN prices to the trusts"
When timothy seed goes up. we say
il is due to the shortage in the seed
crop. When sugar goes up we say it
is due to the. operations OF q trust. We
in Iowa have timothy seed to sell and
we must buy sugar. That explains
the difference; We can always stand
it to see a rise in prices in things we
sell. but it becomes a different matter
when the rise is in things We have to
buy.

FOR UP-TO-DATE LOAN LAWS.
[Des Moines Tribune.l
The New York law against loan
sharks went into effect last Friday.
New York limits interest rates to IS
per cent per annum. and In this charge
all services sof whatever sort must be
included. The new law also provides
that compaics doing chattel loan bus
mess must file a list of all agents with
the county clerk. =
1t does not appear in the news dis
patch from which we CLEAN whether
the New York law demands regular
examinations by state bank examiners
as the Massa chusetts law does or not,
nor is anything said about keeping =
record OF all loans with names Of par
ties loaned to as the Massachusetts, law
does.
A great many states are moving in
this matter of chattel loans to protect
the unfortunate and the unwary.
The Register and Leader began an
agitation now nearly four years ago
for chattel loan law In Iowa. Iowa
makes any rate Of interest above . per
cent illegal and usurious. Eight per
cent is manifestly too low to reward
the chances of chattel loaning and the

The Iowa City Republican notices
that the newspapers are publishing
the results of the big land lottery at
Minot, .orth Dakota, which is clearly
contrary to the postal regulations. but
this being a government lottery there
is no danger of prosecution. Just why
the government can run lottery when
everybody else is forbidden to do so,
is not exactly clear. But some men
do things for which they spank their
boys when they do the same things"

Those editors and politicians who
are saying that Senator Cummins
stands alone in opposition to the re-
nomination Of President Taft have not
been talking to the voters very much.
There is no truth in the statement
that Iowa republicans are for Taft"
asserts the Knoxville Journal They
are not. Regardless of what may be
desirable in the way of party har-
mony it is senseless to deny the OBJ
vious truth. The president may be
able to overcome the dfstrust and dis
content by his swing around the circle
in the next few weeks but the fast
remains that right now Ills stock is
way below par. There is no enthus-
iasm for him and If the feeling were
not general that he has the nomina-
ton nailed down there would be little
chance for him to get the delegates
from Iowa"

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the nose
and throat are exposed to the irrita-
ting influence of dust, impure air,
etc., and for this reason are the places
Catarrh usually first manifests itself.
But these are simply exciting causes,
the inflammation and discharge being
really produced by an impure and
vitiated condition of the blood. 1t is
we'll enough to use some local treat
ment to cleanse these membranes,
but any one can readily see that if
the inhammatory matter is left in the
blood, such treatment cannot possibly
have any permanent effect. S. S. S..
cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood
of all impure catarrhal matter and
irritating germs and at the same time
builds up the system by its fine tonic
effects. When S. S. S. has purified
the blood, the mucous surfaces are all
rourished and made healthy. There
can be no Inflammation of the men,
branes then, because the blood is
pure, and every tissue receives nour.
ishment instead of irritating matter.
Our book on Catarrh will interest
every sufferer of this disease, and il
will likewise give proper advice as to
what is best to use as local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free to all, and we will
also be glad to give any special advice
you may feel you need. S. S. S. Ia

fore the senatorial investiga ting com
mittee to-day that he directly OF in
directly had had anything to do with
the election OF Senator Isaac Stephen
son. Mr.. Hines denial covered the fol-
lowing:
That he went to Washington and
there told Senator Stephenson that. be-
cause of charges of corruption made in
the Legislature, the Senator could not
be reelected.
That to overcome this obstacle he
he and Stephenson each contributed
$4,000. which resulted in an election
by the Wisconsin Legislature on
March 4, 1909, after three Democra attic
assemblymen had absented them
selves.
That he paid Robert ]. Shields $500
to help put over" the election.

but I had no dealings whatever in his
election.
IT was interested to a small extent in
his campaign in the primaries. This
was simply to ask Shields to induce
some business men to sign a kind of
an appeal to the public to support the
Senator because of his long Standing
as q business man in the State"
Mr.. Hines declared that much of the
story as given to the committee by
Writ II. Cook, OF Duluth, was due to
business reasons Hines said Cook
had written a letter threatening Ito
expose" him IL he (Hines) did not
withdraw as a director from COM
pany in which both were interested
Hines also denied part of a converse
ton attributed to him by Cook at q
hotel in Chicago. in which Hines was
reputed to have said II have had a
terrible time getting Stephenson lined
up. After / elected him he goes down
to Washington and votes for free lum-
Der. and he is a lumber man. too"
The committee endeavored to trace
the source OF the charges implicatin

OF this Phase OF the investigation as
shown by the record was: John Brady
