At the present. time descriptive mat

over the country and to labor union
secretaries throughout the United
States.
The pamphlets being sent to min
listers ask that if it is impossible to
celebrate the Sunday set aside that
they set aside one later in the month.

ILLINOIS COURTS HOLD
LABOR LAWS VALID

. WASHINGTON, July 5.-Labor or
CARNATIONS have won another victory
IN the courts. Recently the Illinois
State Supreme court denied the Pc
tltion for rehearing in the case of
Milford E. Streeter against the West
ern Wheeled Scraper company.
Streeter was employed by the above
company and lost one of his hands
due to the fact that the machine at
which he was employed was not safe
guarded. Suit was instituted to re-
cover and the lower courts decided
against Streeter.
Upon appeal to the supreme court,
however, that tribunal reversed the
lower courts. and upheld the con-
stitutionality Of the factory inspec-
ton act. as we'll as holding that the
law requiring machinery to be safe
guarded must be observed.

WHAT ROOSEVELT MUST GIT.
Percentage of Republican Vote Neces.
saPy to Elect Roosevelt in
Different States.

We give below an interesting table,
showing the percentage of the Re-
publican vote in the states which
Roosevelt must get in order to be
elected president. Certainly his
warmest supporters are not optimistic
enough to really believe he is going
to get 81 per cent of the Republican
vote in Indiana, 80 per cent in Mary
land, 81 per cent in Ohio. 76 per cent
in New York, II per cent in Illinois,
81 per cent in Kansas, 73 per cent in
Iowa, and SO on down the line. The
conclusion must be then that he can
not possibly be elected. What then?
Your vote for Roosevelt means vote
for Wilson. Do you want demo-
cratic administration, with the re-
sulting democratic hard times. or
will you vote for Taft and prosperity?
Ponder over these figures bit:

IOWA'S WEALTH.

Waterloo Times Tribune: Iowa
keeps adding to its wealth with mar
velous rapidity. Fourteen years ago
there were 3S1 banks in Iowa, now
there are 1,O31; the deposits then
were, in round numbers, $60,000,-
900; today they are $2SS, 100000.
With nearly 500 per cent more money
on deposit now than IA years ago,
when State Auditor Mccarthy made
his report, we observe that the peo-
pie of Iowa are getting richer not
alone in land values, but that they
have prospered in every other way,
Iowa's farm lands have nearly
doubled during the period of IA
years and as the cash on deposit is
nearly five times what it was, the
wealth of the state is something to
marvel at Perhaps other states can
make just as good showing. In the
great centers of industry a greater
showing can be made, but the COM
parison must always be in Iowa S
favor for the reason that the best
evidence is that Iowa has not in
creased in population during IA
years. We have, therefore, a people
that are five times richer, in actual
cash, than they were IA years ago,
and a people who are 100 per cent
richer in the physical value of their
real estate.
Perhaps it will be hard for some
of our people TO figure where their
share OF this insreased wealth is,
but it is certain that it is in Iowa
somewhere in Iowa.

democratic, with vacancies TO be
filled by the legislatures Of Illinois
and Colorado. 1t is practically GER
tain that Marshall would be one of
the men voted upon. If Sherman is
the other one, which seems most
probable, would the ten insurgent,
Bull Moose senators cast their votes
for him, or if Johnson should be the
candidate with Marshall, would the
regular republican senators support
him, in view of the possibility of his
becoming president? If four regu-
lar republican or four Bull Moose
senators should absent themselves
from Washington during this voting
the senate could not elect. What
then?
Should the above contingencies
arise there would be no president
elected to serve during the next four
years, every possible means of effect
ing an election under the constitu-
tion having been exhausted.
Then, March 4, 1918, when Presi-
dent Taft's present term expires, he
would be succeeded by Philander G..
Knox, Secretary of State, who would
become Acting President of the
United States, automatically. tt
would be his first duty to call con-
gress in special session, giving twenty
days notice This congress would
call special presidential election for
November, 1913, in all probability
in which case there would be some
more politics.

The color of blood is due chiefly to
iron in the little blood-cells. When
the iron is kept in these little blood
cells, which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels, the color
is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface, and the little
red cells escape from the injured
blood vessels, wander about for a
while in the tissues and die. When
they die the iron that made them
red before then changes to black-and-
blue coloring. After while this
iron is taken up by the glands called
the lymphatics, and made over again
into nice red cells. The iron is taken
up very much more quickly by the
lymphatics if the black-and-blue spot
is massaged. st. Nicholas.

sheriff,s orig E bills, as they do in

sheriff's orige- bills, as they do il
Qualley's. E.o.4ce the difference.
The shcriff in Sioux City recently
started for Knoxville with a prisoner
and did not take an assistant with
him. He was killed by the prisoner
on the way.
That is all there is to these So
called charges" 1t is a simple case
of garbling the truth to mislead and
influence the voters.
Sheriff Swebakken of Allamakee
county, with whose accounts Mr.
Biermann compares those of Qualley,
stated last week that the charge
against Qualley was a rank farce,
and he ought to know if anybody
| does. All honorable men will con-
demn such despicable political meth
DDS. In the heat of political cam
paign is not the time to believe the
irresponsible vaporings of a desper-
ate individual.
Do you hear the democratic can
didate for sheriff upholding such
methods or circulating these stories?
No, he condemns them. Do you hear
the lifelong democrats generally
over the county approving of such
politics? No. One individual, the
editor of the Decorah Journal, has
told them when they objected to it
that he is running this campaign and
will run it as he pleases. Pretty
pass, isn't it?
Voters, remember the Mizener
campaign. Remember the Haugen-
Murphy and the Qualley-Carolan
contests of two years ago. A vote
by a republican against Qualley at
this time is an injustice. He was
fairly nominated at the primary and
is fairly entitled to your vote. He
has done nothing wrong. His records
have been carefully audited. If he
were not absolutely honest in the
conduct of his office, the proper way
to get him out would not to be elect
"a democrat. 1t would be to proceed
against him by law, which would be
done if anything was wrong.
The laws of Iowa and his bonds
men are behind Sheriff Qualley.
Don't accuse and judge any man
without a fair trial. There is no
fairness in the charges of the De-
corah Journal. Vote for Qualley.

1t should be applied is this: Lay the
