Mason City. April 22.-Altho the adj
inirers OF Champ Clark have made, a
gallant fight in Cerro Gordo county.
and waged much stronger battle than
was thought they could. enough dele
gates have been selected for the demo-
cratic convention which :. meets on
Thursday next to insure the county
for Woodrow Wilson. One OF the
things which never before has oc-
Cured in this county Is the interest
the republicans are giving this mat
ter. This is n very strong progressive
locality and the progressive republic
cans seem to be almost to man in
favor Of Wilson and while they are
taking no part In the voting they are
stating that they very much desire the
nomination OF Wilson to any other
man, and in event the republican party
splits up In the national convention
they want to support such man as
Wilson for the presidency.

I'VE fully realize the advisability OF
uniformity in freight classification
thruout the United States. said Mr..
Thorne, but the interstate commerce
commission should establish the sched-
ule. The present division of the cOun-
try into southern, official. and western
sections works hardships on both the
shippers and the railroads which would
be eliminated by uniformity. But we
object to uniformity beIng'made an ex-
cuse for sweeping increases.
only thru disinterested adjust
ment can fairness be obtained. The
high rates should be reduced and the
low rates increased proportionally, in
stead of increasing every low rate to
make 1t equal to a higher one. Equit-
able uniformity can and should be OBJ
taincd by q schedule made by the gov

DR.. Julia Sears. head of tho "New
Thought School," says: There are

incarnation Is positive fact"
All right. doctor; we1l add this to

Still, there is a question which has been
puzzling us good while. and we now
make bold to ask: Why is 1t that.

Coliseum after tho show was over and

Cloaca Maxima when 1t got clogged.
Another New Thought which comes
at this moment Is In connection with
the statement Of DR.. Sears that she
was the Italian singer Marsina 400
years ago, was bitterly discontented.
and now she longs to sing and cannot.
There's matter for rumination In this.
We shall hurry away now to tell the

Joining ours that the reason she longs
to sing. or thinks she can sing, and
cannot, Is because she had q sweet
pipe several hundred years ago and

Theory and Experiment

Theory AID experiment must go
hand in hand, and much depends on
one as much as on the other, rot
merely on It's accuracy but also upon
Its nature. Hundreds Of experiments
may be made, which, however, not.
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march Of human progress In the right
direction: they may of course in
ages count for much, but the chiet
thing Is that the experiment shouli
be of the right kind, and it is often
desirable that as much time, IL not
even more time, should be spent In
deciding upon the right thing to be
done than in doing that thing itself.
One bad theory is often worse than
ten bad experiments, because even
II these are properly carried out, they
may yet, If based upon false notions,
add little or nothing, If not to the
store Mt least to the advancement Of
knowledge: and count almost for as
little as the one bad experiment
whether based upon theory or not
