By John TEMPLE GRAVES

WHETHER high or low, pro-
" tective or revenue. our
tariff laws have always
been built upon one and the
same model.
Wing, Democrat or Republican,
the point of view of the matter
was always the same. The Walk
er, Wilson, Mckinley, Dlngley
and Payne laws are like the I'm
derwood bill, in that they all look
inward. They are all intended to
produce a certain amount of rev.
enue, and primarily or incident
ally to benefit, protect" it is
called. someone in the country at
the expense Of someone else in
the country.
Or IL 1t be a free trade provi-
sion to destroy someone's advan-
tage for someone else's benefit,
this latter is a case of putting
the bottom rail on top.
The clashing interests are
those of one group against an
other. of one section against an
other. OF producer against con-
sumner, or of middleman against
one or both. but always the clash
of interest is American against
American. We may shut the
foreigners goods out or we may
let them in, but always in the
interest of someone of our own
groups, or factions, or industries
as against the others.
The Reciprocal" idea.
Never have our legislators
grasped the RECIPROCAL"
idea-the idea of the great IN
TERNATIONAL value Of a tariff
law. Never have they sought to
use the TARIFF AS A LEVER
TO PRY OPEN THE WORLDS
MARKETS FOR THE ENTRY
OF THE PRODUCTS OF OUR

KEokuk AND THE TANGO.

The latest dance, the Tango, has
been placed under the ban by the
board OF directors of the Keokull
Country club, and in the future the
dance will be prohibited at the week
ly Saturday evening parties. The
Tango has been severely criticized all
over the country during the past six
months and in many places has been
eliminated from the dance programs
In some fashionable circles, however,
at is regarded as proper and is thor
oughly approved Of There is always
a conservative side to everything and
in Keokuk conservatism usually reigns
supreme. And dancing furnishes no
exception. And SO the Keokuk
Country club, rather than to sanction
the Tango with the present bitter feel
ing against the dance, has decided to
follow a conservative course and ex-
clude it.

SWIMMING FOR kEoKuk BOYS.

The Y. M. C. A. swimming tank has
been a popular place for the boys of
Keokuk during the present summer.
Not only has the association struck a
popular chord with the youngsters who
desire to learn swimming, but it has
conferred a benefit in another way.
If a boy cannot go to the Y M. C. A.
Or to some other indoor pool where
he can be watched, he is bound to go
swimming somewhere, which means
in the Mississippi river or some of
the creeks, many of which are from
eight to fifteen feet deep. Such swim
ming is dangerous and when prac-
ticed day in and day out during the
three summer months Is almost GER
tain to result in one or more fatalities.
So far this summer there have been
no drownings from swimming and the
Y. M. c. A. is in a measure respons.
ible. a mother should feel perfectly
safe il her boy is in the association

ton.
Abba people will be mostly inter
ested in wondering whether this Mis-
sissippi River power will ever be ex.
tended to Abba. This will be espec.
tally interesting at this time as the
contract for lighting the streets of
Abba will expire in October. It can
be said that in time the power may
reach Abba but that is some ways In
the distance. Mr.. Barr told me that
the company could not sell the pow
er in the quantities Abba would use
1t, but that II Ottumwa, Mt Pleasant,
Fairfield, would form a circuit they
were ready to talk business They
sell the electricity in bulk but do not
go out and make contracts for the
lighting OF towns The only excep-
ton to this is the nearby towns
through which they have electric
wires.

is that the money outlook is not yet
entirely satisfactory; that the foreign
situation is not without its possible
tiles of friction; that the Mexican
situation is somewhat of shadow;
that the attitude at Washington to-
ward big business and capital Is still
disconcerting. The Canadian situa-
ton requires watching. and the posi-
ton Of American railroads is still one
that requires serious and fair-minded
consideration by the Interstate COM
mission. On the other hand, many
serious problems have been adjusted
or discounted There is now little
probability of railroad strike. The
stock market has been literally sold
out. There has been prolonged
quiet investment demand. which has
materially lessened the floating sup
ply Of securities mote the large I'M
crease in the number of new stock
holders in Pennsylvania, and there
has also been a change in the position
of big banking interests towards the
market. For long period the latter
have been pessimistic in their atti-
tude. During the last few days some
of our ablest financial leaders have
frankly admitted that the worst has
been amply discounted and that the
outlook is more hopeful. For such
reasons we anticipate a better and
higher market, though not without oc-
casional setbacks. There is, however,
no prospect OF a boom, which is the
best thing to be desired or permitted,
for that would only end in disastrous
results.

Umatilla Seaporters came back and
with timely hitting chased four men
over the platter.
For the first time this season the

PimpIes Should
Be Watched
May be Means of Absorbing Disease
Germs in Most Unexpected
Manner.

The world renowned laboratory of
the Swift Specific Company has col
Iected vast amount of information
regarding the spread of blood diseases.
In thousands of instances the most
virulent types have been the result of
coming in contact with disease germs
in public places, and the apparently in
significant pimple has been the cause.
1t spreads with astonishing rapidity,
often injecting the entire system in a
few days.
1t is fortunate, however, that there
is remedy to cope quickly and thor
oughly with such condition, and
thanks to the energy of its producers
the famous s. S. s. may now be had
at almost any drug store in the civil
ized world.
This preparation stands alone as a
blood purifier. 1t is somewhat revolu-
tionary in its composition, since il
accomplishes all that was ever claimed
Tor mercury, iodides, arsenic, and other
destructive mineral drugs, and yet 1t
is absolutely a purely vegetable prod
uct. 1t contains one ingredient which
serves the active purpose of stimu-
lating each tiny cellular part of the
tissues to the healthy and judicious
selection of its own essential nutri-
ment. There are more cases of ar
ticular rheumatism, locomotor ataxia,
paresis, neuritis, and similar diseases
resultant from the use of minerals
than most people are aware Of These
facts are brought out in a highly in
teresting book compiled by the medical
department of The Swift Specific Co,
1877 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga. It Is
mailed free, together with a special let
ter of advice, to all who are struggling
with a blood disease.
Get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day
of your druggist. IT will surprise you
with its wonderful action in the blood.

may be that dreadful backache. those

sex. To all such women in this con-
dition Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound comes as a boon and a
