had a great many inquiries about the

has written an opinion in which he

the county bridge fund has been
handled may start an inquiry which
will ultimately reveal whether or not
there is bridge combine in Iowa and
disclose whether or not there is graft
in bridge contracts in Iowa. The no.
ton has long prevailed that there is a
great deal Of graft in bridge contracts
in the state. Some years ago at a
convention of county supervisors where
the bridge men were very conspicuous
and ready TO offer entertainment. a
bridge contractor declared that he
never made bid on bridge any
where in Iowa without including an
additional allowance so that he could
use ii in fixing those who had the Civ
ing of the contracts. Last winter, while
the legislature was in session. some
evidence was brought to the attention
of state officials indicating that sys
tematic bribery of certain members of
a county board in a county of Iowa
not very close to Des Moines. had been
carried on: in fact. there was sworn
testimony of the offering of brides for
bridge contracts. A strenuous effort
was made to secure sufficient testi-
mony to convict. but it failed tho there
was no doubt of the transaction. 1t
was partly because of this one case
that the legislature provided for re-
moval OF members Of the county
boards
What appears to have been found in
Dee Moines is that the country mem
her. have been exceedingly extrava-
CART in the expenditure Of the bridge
funds. No indication OF corruption has
been seen.
The Great Western railroad Is not
quite ready yet to comply fully with
the Iowa law regulating the cabooses,

in which to comply with the law and
this application will be considered early
next month. 1t is said that most of the

How to Remove a
Bad Complexion

Cosmetics can never really help a
poor complexion: often they are posi-
lively harmful. The sensible, rational
way is TO actually remove the thin
veil Of sitting, half-dead scarf skin
from the face and give the fresh, Wig
oroua and beautiful young skin UNI
derneath a chance to show itself and
to breathe.
This is best done in a very simple
way, by merely applying mercolized
wax at night. like cold cream. and
washing 1t of in the morning. Good
mercolized wax can be obtained from
any well stocked druggist. 1t absorbs
the disfiguring cuticle gradually and
harmlessly. leaving . brilliant natural
complexion. OF course this also takes

United States Sub-Treasurer at Chi

political mass meeting endorsed by
his fellow citizens for Governor of

Mr.. S. B. Roach, managing editor
of the Kankakee Daily Republican,
played a prominent part in inducing
Mr.. Small to enter the contest for
Governor, against Charles s. Deneen,
and others, and everything seems to
indicate that there will be a terrific
fight between the big Republican
chiefs to see who will walk away with

PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT
ISSUES HIS THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.

The following Thanksgiving Proc
lamation has been issued by resident
William H. Taft:
"The people of this land having
by long sanction and practice set
apart towards the close of each pass
ing year a day upon which to cease
from their labors and assemble for
the purpose of giving praise to Him
who is the author of the blessings
they have enjoyed, it is my duty as
Chief Executive to designate at this
time the day for the fulfllment Of this
devout purpose.
"Our country has been signally IA
vored in many ways. The round of
the seasons has brought rich har-
vests. Our industries have thriven far
beyond our domestic needs, and the
productions of our labors are daily
finding enlarged markets abroad. We
have been free from the curses of
pestilence, of famine and of war. Our
national counsels have furthered the
cause of peace in other lands, and
the spirit of benevolence has brought
US into closer touch with other peo-
Piles, to the strengthening of the
bonds of fellowship and good will
that link us to our comrades in the
universal brotherhood of nations.
Strong in the sense of our own right
and inspired by as strong a sense of
the rights of others, we live in peace
and harmony with the world. Rich
IN the priceless possessions and album
dant resources wherewith the un-
stinted bounty of God has endowed
US, We are unselhshly glad when 9th
er peoples pass onward to prosperity
and peace. That the great privileges
we enjoy may continue and that each
coming year may see our country
more and more firmly established in
the regard and esteem of our fellow
nations, Is the prayer that should
rise IN every thankful heart.
