French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach trouble. The French
have for generations used a simple
mixture of vegetable oils that relieve
stomach and intestinal ailments and
keeps the bowels free from foul, pois-
onous matter. The stomach is left to
perform its functions normally. 1ndt-
session and sas.ritis vanish.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr, leading drug
gist of Chicago. cured himself with
this remedy in short time. The de-
mand is so great that he imports these
oils from France and compounds them
under the name Of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy. People everywhere write and
testify to the marvellous relief they
have received using this remedy-one
| dose will rid the body of poisonous ac-
cretions that have accumulated for
years and convince the most chronic
sufferer from stomach. liver or intes-
final troubles.

A. T. Elder. Marshalitown, Iowa, and
leading druggists everywhere with the
positive understanding that yeur
money will be refunded without ques-
ton or bubble if ONE bottle fails to

MONUMENTS FOR lowANs.

y bill to appropriate a sum to erect
a monument to the memory of George
II. Perkins former editor of the Sioux
City Journal and dean of newspaper
men of Iowa failed to pass the legis-
lature.
1t is by way of being unfortunate
that the bill was ever presented to be
defeated. Such bills are Invariably de-
feated In Iowa assemblies. The sense
of the state seems to be against monu-
meRting.
And still if any pioneers of Iowa de-
serve and do not need monument
Uncle George may be given place
among them. His work thru his news
paper was constructive. He was one
of the assets of the new state. He
grew with it and helped its growth.
However, the general sentiment of
the state seems TO be that monuments
erected TO men who have served it
we'll in private or public capacities are
not TO be erected by the state. And
behind this sentiment is much plain
common sense. Those who deserve
monuments do not need them. To null
tiply monuments under handful of
presidents as such monuments would
be certain 10 be multiplied would
cheaper the fame of those of actual
and high desert. Avoidance of monu-
menting while it seems TO display q
lack of appreciation prevents much
that would magnify mediocrity at the
expense of desert and genius. And
when it is analysed there is in it no
lack of the appreciation which is the
reward OF great and good men.
Sioux City is in a way monument
to George D. Perkins-he would have
asked for none other. If on the prin-
cipai corner OF that city of his love
and where he lived and worked a plain
brass tablet were TO stand with his
name and brief recapitualtion of his
service it would be all that Uncle
George would wish and much more
than he would have suggested.

Lookey-On In Iona

Grinnell. March 23.-They had a pri-
mary here last week to select candi-
dates for city officers. It wasn't legal
primary, but kind Of caucus. some
what after the plan adopted in cities
with a commission form OF govern
ment, the two men for each office hav-
ing the largest number of votes being
the candidates at the cominb City cleo
ton. The writer has been voter
here for over forty years and naturally
wanted TO get into the scrimmage. but
he didn't vote-couldn't find out
where he was at" SO to speak. You
see, they are having a sewer fight here.
And these were for or against some
thing. 1t seems more sewerage is
needed in Grinnell. That is the only
general statement safe to make. one
crowd wants two sewer systems, an
other crowd wants the new system,
and to cut a tunnel into the old one.
And outsiders have got into the circus.
Some farmers below the outlet OF the
sewer objected and got out injunctions.
Have had trials and then more injunc-
tons, so the writer was told. Then
property owners near where the new
sewer will open If it does not run into
the old one, are on the high horse ana
threaten injunctions. damage suits. etc.
and to make confusion worse con-
founded somebody said the mayor does
not have any vote, and yet there's q
big fight on to elect q mayor. And
there's report the retiring city coun-
Gil at their last meeting are going to
do something, the Lord only knows
what, that will tie the city up to

The senate passed Ave enforcement

DO THEY NEED IT?
[Hamp,on Chronicle.]

The Iowa railroads want an in
crease in rates. both in passenger and
freight. They want a raise Of about 50
per car on cattle from Hampton and
to those who know the amount Of wa
most of the roads it is different
problem to convince them that the
roads need a raise. The railroads are
now going to the people with their
troubles. and had they done this long
ago with the request for fair rate
valuation the roads would have no
trouble whatever in getting what they
are entitled to. but under present con-
ditions who Is to be the judge on what
the rates should be?
The only correct solution OF the
problem is to secure true valuation
of the railroad properties. and then
make the rate accordingly No just
rate can be figured out when half the
railroad stock is nothing but pure wa
ter-hardly that even. If the present
mana cement of the roads want a
square deal they should be willing to
give the people a fair shake. too, and
squeeze the water out Of their systems
and then. ask for fair rate on the
amount they have invested. Until the
railroads do little squeezing the peo-
pie will be. reluctant to submit to any
particular raise on either passenger or
freight rates in this state.

COMPARISON AND QUESTION.
TGrundy Republican,


There is one matter, however, con-
nected with this passenger rate BUSH
ness which has caused many peoDle
to view the cry Of the railroads like
it was the cry Of wolf. We refe.-
to the present tourist rate to Cali
fornia, and other tourist rates which
will be put into eff set during the sum
mer months, Below we cite q few OF
the inconsistencies which strikes the
average man s1uarely in the face
when tho railroads say 2 cents a mile
does not pay the cost Of operation.
The present rate from Chicago to the
Pacific coast and back is s62.50. The
rate from Des Moines is about $3.50,
or only 81 less. What Is the net re-
suit? The railroads recently raised
their interstate rate to "a cents
mile and it costs something like $3.50
for round trip ticket from Chicago
to Des Moines. a distance OF 35S miles
by the shortest route. Yet by the pub
lished rates, which are widely adver-
tised, the railroads are willing 10 carry
passenger from Chicago to Des
Moines, and back, for 81. or little
over " -cent mile, when a tourist
ticket is purchased to the Pacific
coast.
On the face Of j, something looks
wrong. If the old round trip rate of
S14.32 between Chicago and Des Moines
was not enough to pay operating ex-
penses, and it was necessary to in
crease the rate to about $3.50, how
can a 81 rate be explained. Yet the
railroads are advertising such a rate
on the end of Pacific coast ticket.
and the officials Of the different roads
<h 10 has haoy, bsA VIZ
that it has been necessary to put on
many additional trains to take care OF
it. If the railroads were 20 advertise
81 round trip rate between Des
Moines and Chicago no doubt they
would Ali just as many trains and just
as full ones, as those running to Cali
fornia. And II the California business
is paying the railroads. then the Chi
cago Des Moines business would pay at
81. and the railroad passenger rate
question would solve itself by simply
cutting the rate and putting on more
trains to take care Of the increased
traffic.
Still another peculiar condition at
taches TO these Pacific coast tickets.
Your Chicago ticket costs $62.50 yet
for but few dollars more. you can
get your ticket to include all the towns
on the Pacific coast and even up into
Canada. something like 5000 miles OF
additional travel for mere song. And
what is true Of the Pacific coast rates
Is likewise true Of summer tourist tick
cts to the east.
What is the answer? Have the rail-
roads been MIXED dry by speculation,
like the New Haven, and do the Of
ficials want the public to buy new
COW until the old one becomes fresh
again, or 1t is really true that the pres
ent rates are below the actual cost Of
operation? II the latter applies. then
it is up to the railroads to explain the
pccu!arity Of the Pacific coast and 9TH
| er tourist rates, quoted above, and

HARDING AND cossoN.

webster City Freeman -Tribune.l
The Clinton Herald is of the opin-
;c2 thu: the suhe-nstorial primary
contest on the republican side will be
between Lieutenant Governor Harding
and Attorney General Cosson. Both
gentlemen are well known thruout the
state and each will have strong fol-
lowing in the event Of the predictions
OF the Herald being carried out. At
torney General Cosson stands for the
things in which the republicans of this
part of the state believe and Mr.. Hard
ing stands for the things in which
Sioux City. Dubuque, Fort Dodge and
towns of that class believe. With these
two gentlemen as candidates there is
no doubt of how ,he people of this
part of Iowa will vote. They will give
Mr.. Cosson a tremendous majority.
But II is likely there win be other can
didates in the field when the time
comes. 1t is yet early. as the primary
election is not held until next year.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

TT is clearly evident the highway
commission measure now in force must
be limiting the activities OF a large
number of persons who like to get
something out of the road fund.- says
the Davenport Times. 1t is surpris-
ing the supply and bridge companies
the able TO muster so many votes.
Mr.. Bryan, in the greatest oppor-
tunity that has come into his life, Is
proving a rank failure" says the Wa
terloo Courier. He is falling short of
the expectations of even those who
have opposed him in politics.
The law of nations seems to have
given place to the law of notions SO
far as some Of these European gov
ernments are concerned" says the Des
Moiues Capital.
The Waterloo Times Tribune says,
The jitney ought to be able to live
if a Decent store can.
The Johnston bill must be regarded
as a reactionary bill: it is reassertion
Of the ideas that the roads of Iowa
have been good enough-and what was
good enough for our fathers and
grandfathers ought to be good enough
for u.s." says the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.
THE rural members of the legisla
ture don't want the state highway
commission telling them how TO make
roads but they are famous for telling
the cities how they shall run their af-
fairs" observes the Waterloo Times
Tribune.
Where is the Iowa baseball mag
nate with the nerve and the farseeing
judgment to ill his team with Iowa
players exclusively, without importing
the cast offs of the big leagues" asks
the Oskaloosa Herald. IAN all Iowa
league would make a tremendous hit
with the fans"
