The Limitation of Liberty.

Liberty! The true liberty of man,
you would say. consisted in his finding
out, or being forced to find out, the
right path and to walk thereon. To
learn, or to be taught, what work he
actually was able for: and then by
permission. persuasion and even COM
pulsion, to set about doing of the
same. That is his true blessedness,
honor, liberty" and maximum of well
being; If liberty be not that, / for one
have small care about liberty. You
do not allow a palpable mailman to
leap over precipices; you violate his
liberty, you that are wise, and keep
him, were it In straight waistcoats,
away from precipices! Every stupid,
every cowardly and foolish man is but
a less palpable mailman: his true lib
erty were that wiser man, that any
and every wiser man, could, by brass
collars, or in whatever mildef or
sharper way, lay hold of him when he
was going wrong, and order and COM
pei him to go a little righter.-Froms

BREAKS UP COLD
Thousands are Using the New
Method with Wonderful
Results

Cut out this prescription, Madam
you are the one that must look after
the health of the household, and you
are the one in these days of high
prices that must manage things econ
omically.
Someone in the family may have
a hard. cold this winter; it may be in
the head, perhaps in the chest.
1t matters not where; here is some
advice and a prescription that will
sup any cold in few hours, and
without taking harmful drugs or
strong drinks into the stomach.
First of all, look after the bowels.
The tongue will show whether the Ii
yer is right or not. If the bowels need
attention, a good dose of castor
oil made tasteless with little, orange
juice will do the trick, although any
reliable cathartic will do.
Then try this economical treatment:
into bowlof boiling water pour a
teaspoonfl of HYOMEI (pronouce it
High-o-me) cover both head and bowl
with towel, and breathe deep into
the lungs the soothing, healing yapor.
Breathe this vapor for five or ten
minutes until the head feels fine and
clear, then go to bed and sleep sound
'ly until morning.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs so cents
at Hanson g. Emerson and druggists
everywhere. A complete outfit which
includes a hard rubber pocket inhaler
with which you can breathe it any
time or place, costs only s1.0o. 1t is
guaranteed to 'cure catarrh, coughs,
colds, sore throat and Group or money

contrary, the President made his
judicial minded argument in DEFENSE
of his attitude on the tariff question.
He held the attention of the smashers
long enough to convince them that
there was justice and fairness on his
side of the question. Those who came
to smash remained to praise. 1t is
too bad that all the people every

It means going into Gods out-of-

While Commissioner Roe, state fire
marshal, has undertaken in small
way to encourage cities and towns OF
Iowa to have a cleanup crusade and
to cause to b. destroyed the old
firetraps that are menace to all
property, he will not try to equal
that which has been done by the
fire marshal in Ohio. In that state,
SO the reports show, the fire marshal
has caused the destruction Of over
1000 houses because they were fire
traps. Tho Iowa law does not give
such power to the state fire marshal,
but under a more restricted authority
he is engaged in having many of the
cities OF the state clear out their dan

THE "MEN AND RELIGION" MOVE
MENT.

The Men and Religion Forward
Movement, concerning which so much
has been said in the local news
columns of The Gate City of late, is
movement to enlist the energies of
big business" in promoting religion
instead of financing politics 1t aims
to convert men to the course of Chris
tianity and to enlist them in active
church work The initial meeting was
held in New York on September ID.
Five hundred ministers and many lay
men attended an afternoon meeting in
the Broadway Tabernacle, some of the
delegates coming as far as from Aus
tralia. Thirty trained church workers
have been selected and these will pro-
coed to organize committees of 100 in
seventy-six principal and 1900 minor
cities of the United States and Cana
da. By this systematic organization
1t Is hoped to reach at least 23,OO0,O0O
church-going people. Such names as
]. Pierpont Morgan, Cleveland a.
Dodge, James H. Post, F. Fulton Cut
ting and Cyrus H Mccormick are
mentioned as furnishing the sinews OF
war.
The movement contains great posi-
bilities for good and is worthy of every
encouragement. Keokuk has direct
personal interest in it because of the
fact that Fred B. Smith, formerly sec
rotary of the local Y. M. c. A., is cam
paign leader. The New York Evening
Post, in noting with approval those
elements of the campaign that ally il
