HER OPINION OF CONGRESS,

HER OPINION OF CONGRESS.
Representative Roddenbery, who
comes to Congress from Georgia, has
no Illusions about the Importance of
his job or the esteem in which ma.
tional legislators are held at home.
He tells this story:
A little Georgia boy, whose father
had Just been elected to the leglsla-
turc Of that state, said one day:
"Maw, pops a pretty big man now.
ain't he?">
"oh, ! Dunno answered his mother
III he makes good record they'll
send him to Congress, won't they
maw?" ~

much use for Congress sence they
wouldn't pay for the cotton that was

In no other comparison does the
present.day civilization show so well
against the older civilization as in its
fights and It's victories over infect.
ous diseases.
There is not today the widespread
ignorance and superstition which per
mitted plaques and "black deaths to
dccimate and sometimes half wipe out
| victim populations OF even the rela.
lively enlightened nations and cities.
There Is. unhappy. much dreadful
ayoidable contaslon In this twentieth
century. On farm and In city alike
tuberculosis and other affections still
linger. But. happily, the forces to
root out these avoidable plaques are
awake and active. Scientists and 9th
er enlightened. self.sacrilicing men
and women are working to spread
among the people the knowledge OF
hygiene and sanitation. They are
fighting to better the bad conditions
of industry and of living which give
the white plague and the others
their hold. And they are making head

RussIRs RELIGIOUS sRIBBoLETp.

In the literature sent out in a general
appeal to the press and people for
abrogation of the treaty with Russia
some startling assertions are made
and facts pointed out. If a
prominent American scientist, author
jurist, banker or statesman wants to
go to Russia he must first pass the
religious test at the Russian consulate
here. If the religion of the applicant
does not satisfy the Russian consul,
frontier.
If the American happens to be very
prominent and applies to the Russian
minister of the interior for a special
permit to enter, this may be issued and
the Russian consul will be instructed
to wise the passport. But this very
exception makes Russia's policy Of dis
elimination all the more humiliating to
the average American citizen.
The treaty of 1882 was not made
merely for prominent Americans who
happen to suit the likes Of the Russian
minister Of the interior, it was made
for the American people, regardless OF
their creed or color. or the prominence
of their position in the community.
When the Russian government
learned that Oscar 9. Stratus. then
American ambassador to Turkey. in
ttIIGE5sa - visit Russia. the ministry Of
the interior issued a circular to the eff.
feet that Mr.. Straus would be admitted
to Russia, even tho he is Of the Jew
ish persuasion" Mr. Straus resented
the exception that Russia was willing

a great deal toward alternating the

tablish early Christmas shopping he
should extend his season and push his
Christmas stock month earlier.
1t isn't too early TO begin Christmas
buying now. 1t will begin if the selling

selections will be purchased and laid
aside for the holiday season. The ten
dency is toward earlier buying. 1t will
soon become a custom if selections
from every Christmas stock in town
can be made six weeks or month
before Christmas. The sense Of duty
OF early shopping is established. The
opportunity must be afforded if 1t is

There are two sides to the question

is another side. that of the employee,

DRUGGISTS AND BOOZE.
lMt. Vernon Record.l

The Manchester Press suggests that
under the present 'idiotic" law 1t is al
most impossible for druggist to sell
liquor and not violate some provision
Of the law. In such a case why can
the druggist not quit selling liquor?
The truth is. if the Press will investi-
gate the matter. that more than half
the drug stores in Iowa that have held
permits have violated the law continu-
ally and continuously. They have been
slven every lee-Hay. and a large snare
Of the druggists have grown we'll off
and have remained respectable" while
operating what was in reality little
more than second class saloon, dop-
ing out the worst kind of home made
and diluted liquors. We might add
that the druggists Of Mt Vernon have
not held permits in years, and have not
sold liquors yet the community seems
to have gotten along as we'll as the
average.

teachers attention is given to the high
school grades and we have $c4S pei
month salary of teachers to be charged
to the high school. That IL 20 per cent
Of the total salaries. Then too, more
than the average grade percentage OF
supplies and free text books are pur-
chased by the district for the use OF
the high school. If but per cent OF
the pupils go beyond the eighth srade'
and certainly not per cent finish the
high school. then the high school Is IN
deed something Of a luxury.
The problem that confronts the
educators is that of making 1t possible
for larger percentage Of pupils TO
take advantage of the work beyond the
eighth grade or to give more attention
and spend more money on the lower
grades. II IS per cent of Iowa's boys
and girls are being educated only up
to the eighth grade then that 96 per
cent should have the big end Of the APP
propriations and attention.

PROMISES AND THE RECORD,

Administration papers contain the
House, that president Taft will
urge upon congress the need of tariff
revision as part OF his program to
lower the cost of living
That has familiar sound. That is
the appeal with which Candidate Taft
same to Iowa, that and his heirship
TO the Roosevelt policies. He was the
candidate of the tariff revisionists. His
platform and the platform Of the state
Which presented him to the republican
national convention included the Iowa
shelter plank in every essential and
practically in the language of that IA
mouse Iowa idea. SO the candidate &C
CURED the faithful if not enthusiastic
support OF the progressive valley and
transmontane sections Of the country
and came 10 the highest office and the
one most influential upon legislation.
The sections which made his nominal
ton even possible and which elected
him by their votes look upon the his
tory OF his administration as the story
Of their betrayal. The Payne Aldrich
tariff law was indorsed BY the presi-
dent as the best which could be en-
acted. The senators and gressmen
who insisted upon the redemption OF
republican platform promises and
pledges freely offered by the candidate
to the country felt the limit of presi-
Dental displeasure and Official reprisal.
The conservation policies approved en-
Enthusiastically by the voters We're
subordinated to the demands Of special
interests. The list of things undone
which were promised and of things
done which We're pledged against oy
platform and candidate is too long FOR
recitation. Perhaps many of them
We're faults of INDIGESTION and Of weak
ness rather than of deliberate repudi-
mains and it is of all things the un-
lilliest that these sections are TO be
led into the same trap again with the
same bait. President Taft may mean
all he says now. He may have meant
all he said when he was for the first
time a candidate. The question is what
will he DO and the only answer is in
the record Of his administration.
The Payne Aldrich bill stands in the
record. The whipping post for pro-
gressives has been taken down but the
suspicion is strong that it has not been
destroyed but laid away. The veioes
Of the bills which the last con gress
passed revising downward some Of the
schedules most concerned with the cost
Of living are in the record. The corpor-
alton bill drawn by Wickersham and
defeated in it's intent to repeal the
rate laws is in the record. It is I'M
likely that promises made for or by the
president shall be able to outweigh the
record.

Mr. Bert Steiner, the we'll known
and popular druggist, cured of serious
Optic Nerve disease by DR.. Weber.
Des Moines. Iowa. April /, 1901
hereby wish to publicly express my
appreciation and sincere thanks TO DR.
Weber for his marvellous cure OF my
eyes My eyes began 10 trouble me
about six months ago I did not pay
much attention to them at first. not
thinking anything serious was the
matter. Ny sight gradually became
more dim every day and almost before
I realized 1t almost everything was
cloudy and appeared blurred and then
I knew blindness was coming upon
me. I could not recognize people only
by their walk and voice. I could not
see ordinary print at all and could no
longer attend to business as pharma-
cist
Something must be done. I was
personally acquainted with Dr. Weber
and had known of his reputation and
skill for years. He made thorough
examination Of the inside of my eye
and found had the much dreaded OPP
tic nerve disease. Under ordinary
treatment this disease is usually con-
sidered incurable, but I started treat
ment by DR.. Weber's new method and
my sight gradually returned so that in
a few months time I was again en-
abled to resume my duties as pharm-
acist, and I am thankful to say that
Dr.. Weber restored by sight and am
able to see perfectly well I can rec
ommend Dr.. Weber to all having eye
trouble.
Very truly yours,
