COD LIVER OIL AND IRON
Two Most World-Faned Tonics
Combined in Vino1.

Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved
to be the two most successful tonios
the world has ever known-iron for
the blood and the medicinal curative
clements Of cod liver oil as a strength
and tissue builder for body and
nerves, and for the successful treat
ment of throat and lung troubles.
Two eminent French chemists dis
covered a method os separating the
curative medicinal clements OF the
Gods livers from the oil or grease
which is thrown away but to these
medicinal elements tonic iron is now
added, thus combining in vino1 the
two most world famed tcnics.

HOW ABOUT 1T?

The Council Bluffs Nonpariel thinks
that the republican officials OF this
state who raised the taxes sky high
should be given another term in oifice,
because they did their work honestly
Governor Clarke 1t especially com
mends for his honesty in believing
that a few millions for capitol extern
sion would not hurt anybody, while
the legislature that voted the funds
right and left is also listed as hon
est" Now, that is some argument
Denisor Bulletin.
The editor OF the Denison Bulletin
is a candidate for state senator from
the Crawford-Harrison- Monona dis
trict. Is he basing his campaign Oh
the promise that the democrats in the
last legislature made record against
increased taxes? Does he. propose to
go out among the people in his district
and tell them that Senator Grow, a
fellow democrat. who represented the
district in the last legislature, and
who voted for capitol extension, was
either crook or too ignorant to know
what he was dong in thus voting?
Will Mr.. Caswell go out among the
voters and point out to them wherein
they are paying too much tax for edu-
cation, for roads, for county and mu-
nicipal government, for extension and
development of the state college at
Ames, for the university at Iowa City
and for other state institutions? Or
will he simply go out among the vot-
ers and say. Men, your taxes have
been raised, you have a just grievance
against the government, vote for me
and get revenge?"
The ways of the politician are hard
to understand. The men who stand
four square before their fellows and
place truth and square dealing above
political considerations are not nearly
so numerous as they should be. 1t is
delightfully."- honest argument, isn't it,
to shout to the taxpayer. Look at
your tax receipt; you will find your
taxes increased, you should smite the
people responsible? This is so much
easier than it would be to explain
that no part of this tax money is be-
ing misused; that We are able to af-
ford good roads and that the demand
for higher education is increasing to
such an extent that our higher insti-
tutions of learning must be expanded
while teachers in secondary schools
must be paid better wages. Mr.. Cas-
wells campaign to discredit his fell
low democrat. Senator Grow, will be
watched with amused Interest,"

A NEEDED REFORM

statement in which he says that the

high schools of the state, in connec-
ton with their commencement peri

too much time and money are consum-
ed in these affairs, that becoming

! BULLETIN DISAPPOINTING

We were disappointed at the posi-
ton the Bulletin took in the last
weeks issue on the proposition OF
paving. We had hoped that as long
as the editor had entered the field
OF politics and state graft that he
would grow little more progressive
and cease to knock against needed
improvements in Denison. 1t is not
tough on the council to ask them to
take up the question OF paving, Meth
er is it too late to take it up this
spring, rather than wait until next
spring, so that both of the arguments
against paving this year are answered
by the mere mention of the facts he
cites by way of arguments.
If Napoleon had waited another
year to cross the Alps he never would
have crossed them, and if Caesar had
not crossed the Rubicon when he did.
he never would have crossed 1t. If
we don't begin the proposition of paw
ing until all of the knockers in town
are ready to pave, we never will make
start. The Review is in favor OF
paving now, not a year from now, but
this year, and the number of blocks
to be paved should be decided by the
council. If they should decide that
| too many blocks have been covered.
by the petition, then let them
reduce the area to be paved,
but as long as Carroll, Greene and all
the other towns Of our size have en-
tered the list of progressive cities and
are paving, why should Denison lag
in this work? We are sure if all the
newspapers in town would father the
proposition we would have some pay.

AUTOMOBILE DRIVING

Some one remarks that if pedes-
TRANS showed as bad manners as
motorists do toward each other, the
public highway would be the scene OF
continuous fisticuffs.
1t does little good to vent your
wrath on the man in the other car.
You may be Sandow and he may be
pigmy. But you can't get at him,
and he knows it. Life is too short
to hunt up his number and trail him
to the courts.
There are a great many AUTOMOBILE
lists who on getting home do not en-
change views ON the beauty of the
scenery. The only question that at
tracts their interest is the time taken
and how many miles it figured out
per hour. They are as proud OF a
satisfactory performance as if ones
boy had taken prize at college. A
poor showing is apologized for as if 1t
revealed some startling moral defect.
The majority Of motorists are not
OF this type. The roads are full OF
cautious and conservative people,
who display the same good manners
in a machine that they do in their
own homes. But there arc far too
many of the other kind.
There are great many men to
whom a. motor trip means little un-
less it is punctuated and elevated by
refreshment at the various inns along
the route In the emulation of good
fellowship this tends to produce
mental elation. The driver becomes
confident of his ability to take chances
that in sober moments would be pass
ed up. Hence many wrecks. -
The line separating cautious from
reckless driving is very vague and
indefinate. 1t varies with the hour,
the place and the man, and is given
individual Interpretation by no two
courts.

possible to enforce. The mere imDo-
sition of fines amounts to little. The

thing he is afraid of is the loss of his

OUR MEXICAN CoNsULs

1t is the good fortune of the writer
to have a personal acquaintance with
both OF our consul generals at Mon
terey, Mexico, and at Mexico City.
Phil Hanna, consul at Monterey, is a
trained diplomat and has made good
wherever he has represented the Unit
ed States in foreign countries. He
has been stationed at Monterey in the
neighborhood of twelve years and no
better representative OF this country
could have been located there. His
legal residence is in this congrsson-
al district. He has brother, George
W.. Hanna, Of LaVerne, Kossuth
county, Iowa.
Mr.. Shanklin, our consul at Mexico
City, is a young man and brother Of
Rev. Shanklin, who at one time was
the president of the Upper Iowa uni
versity He is now the president of
one OF the leading eastern colleges.
We had the pleasure of meeting
young Shanklin a few years ago when
in Panama, he being at that time con-
sui at that place. He was on the eve
of his departure for Mexico City, to

is an able young fellow and has looked
after the interests of the United States
with great ability and fidelity. The
treatment accorded Phil Hanna a few
days ago while in the discharge OF his
duties at Monterey is such as to de-:
mand due apology from Mexico, He was
arrested, taken into custody by Mex
lean authorities and marched about
the city as criminal. Not only was
this done, but his life was threatened
and the flag of the United States in
suited. There was enough in the mis-
treatment of our consul on the part OF
the Mexicans to justify sending the
army and navy into northern Mexico
at least until proper amends are Of
tered this country for the insult.
If the American flag cannot protect
our representatives in foreign coun-
tries, then the government should dis
band and confess its helplessness, and
If our public officials, whose duty it is
to insure proper treatment OF their
representatives abroad, lack the prop
or spirit to protect them, they should
retire from office and permit someone
who has the proper courage to admin
istcr the affairs Of the country.
