Cafarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or constitu-
tional disease, and in order to cure it
you must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally ,and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed of the best
tonlcs known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect COM
bination of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials

WHAT IS A pEmAeoe7

In another column is published by
request a reply of Mayor Brown, Of
Fort Madison, to the ridiculous appeal
of the Greater Des Moines committee
that railroads be prohibited from max
ing low l1omeseekers' rates out Of
Iowa. The Fort Madison town coun-
ell refused to resolve against, it and
Mayor Brown very properly advises
the Greater Des Moines committee that
putting binders on the farmers will
not prevent them seeing the things
that are wrong in Iowa and the things
that are right in Canada"
The Des Moines appeal was enough
to arouse business mans satire, but
when Mr.. Brown got into print he pro-
cseded to put himself in worse than the
Des Moines committee had done for
itself. His partisan hatred Of Clifford
Thorne caused him to 60 after wild
eyed "demagogs' who chass up and
down the country advocating all kinds
Of sociaIistic ideas such as government
ownership Of railroads and showing all
kinds Of statistics; God knows where
he gets them, for neither his figures
nor his talk represent the true condi-
ton"

IN THE HOSPITAL At roRREon.

Sir Philip Sidney. dying on the field
Of battle refused the proffered cup of
water that it might benefit a wounded
soldier and save a common mans life.
The tale has been told and sung by
writer's and poets and thousands of
men still tell to millions of children
the story Of Sir Phillips sacrifice. It
will live to the end of literature
A war correspondent writing from
Torreon tells of his visit to the hes
pital Of the federals the day after the
city had fallen. There was one nurse.
The dead were piled like cordwood and
the wounded and dying filed the room
with groans and screams. Some were
calling for tobacco. The correspondent
passed what cigars and cigarettes he
had to a wounded constitutionalist
and kept none for himself
Let the two stories stand together. the
chevalier with the burden Of noblesse
oblige and the chivalric training
Of a chivalrous age and the ragged, il
literate, sorely hurt private of an army
Of mestizos and bandits and breeds,
simply to prove that common brother
hood and sacrifice is not confined to
any order or any time or race or con-
clifton; that it is common instead of
unique and that it lives and flourishes
IN, cri1 80
That it grows out Of human need and
blooms on the hearth as on the battle
field and in hospitals and that Sir
Phillip Sydneys are born every minute
and wait until the great opportunity ar
rives whether it be cup Of cold water,
a cigarette in Mexican shambles or
denial Of self that son or daughter
may rise or a parent know comfort
in age. Sacrifice is the commonest of
all things and the greatest, as common
things are always greatest. We fail
to see it under our feet looking afar
upon the Sydneys and the battlefields,
but the world is full of it. Its in
stances multiply day by day. Scarcely
home exists where it is not eXempli-
fed in it's finest, if not in it's most
spectacular form. Knight of any other
century or half breed at Torreon, or
sacrifice in a Marshalltown home, the
impulse and the acts are one and the
same.
But remember the little incident in
the Mexican hospital. Perhaps it will
help US to be a better understanding
Of people who are coming up out of
bondage.

TERMS:
A POOR CHANCE FoR CHOICE.

The Clinton Herald says ''that Lieu
tenant Governor Harding could not ask
easier shedding than against w. C.
Barber, who is in a row with half his
own faction" The Herald is not OBJ
posed to Harding but will support him
no doubt and is merely congratulate
ing itself and the Harding adherents
on having their task made easy for
them. Its assertion matches with the
opinion Of those who know conditions
best and are able to forecast proba-
bilities with good judgment. It is rot
in their minds that Mr.. Barber can
make anything like showing against
Harding.
without stopping to analyze either
man and his fitness or unfitness it is
pity that any such choice should be
forced. If Harding ought to be defeated
for the nomination it must be done
with another candidate than Barber
At that the possibility that Barber
might win the nomination is infinitely
larger than any hope that he might
win in the election. Barber can not
hold the Van Law vote. Van Law was
a candidate without enemies a lawyer
Of high repute, a legislator of ability
and temperance man whose activities
had been on high plane. Yet the
Harding combination defeated him.
To force Mr.. Barber as a candidate
is to pour water on the wheel of the
Harding candidacy. 1t is a defeat of
its primary purpose The call is for
stronger man, one who may unity in
stead of scatter the temperance vote
and the opposition to Harding. and who
with confidence may seek the support
of newspapers friendly toward temper

The answer to Mayor Browns at

Thorne Is found In the banquet at
Des Moines given in honor of the Iowa
railroad commissions recent victory in
securing more favorable Interstate
freight rates for Iowa and it was given
by the traffic managers of big job
bers and manufacturers in Iowa whose
business had been benefited by Clifford
Thorne and his associates. Every man

Iowa has needed has not been more

tracks she will ever need, but she has

big shipper who tried to do business in
Iowa in competition with shippers out

of Iowa shippers and the victory he
has won will be worth more to the in

ever been accomplished by railroad
commissions in this state up to this
date.

may scott at Thorne's figures but the
managers themselves on the witness
stand before the interstate commerce
commission usually look like 80 cents
when they attempt to attack those fig
ures, and not few railroad presidents
have been compelled recently upon
oath to admit that Thorne was right
in his figures which show the rail-
roads to be making fair profits in spite
of the so-caiied demagogs. To cry
"demagog'' and wild eye is easy, but
what has Iowa ever done 20 injure a
