| Secondly, he did drink beer freely
in my basement on that day, and |
personally drew it from the keg into
his glass and handed it to him. He
drank several glasses during the day,

Enthusiastically and thanked me effuse-

and hospitality. He visited the base
ment and the banquet in the morning
in the forenoon and in the late after
noon, after the deliberation end ses-

| Thirdly, my party was not "beer

/ a gathering of gentlemen who had
accepted the invitation of friend and
had behaved as a gentleman. Ed

of newspaper that has a statewide
circulation. His charge that my Sin

cuse me of something | knew nothing
of until it was laid on my desk by it's
author, who came into my office dur

for my perusal. 1t is painful, also,
because it serves to fasten more Sc
curely upon the soul of Edward T.
Meredith the sin of bearing false wit
ness against me, his neighbor. 1t is
matter of common knowledge in
Manson that Jack Dalton had alb
solutely nothing whatever to do with
the production of the FitZ letter at
any time, either before or after it's
publication. AS God is my judge
knew nothing of it and had nothing
to do with it in any way.

THE FALSE WITNESS

Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor."

teenth verse. / find ii in the Prot
estant bible, which have on my desk
and it is the same bible that is used
by the Quakers and the Methodists. l
use this bible insteGd of the Catholic
bible because l know that Edward T..
Meredith, candidate for governor on
the democratic ticket was raised on
the former kind of bible and knows
just where to find the commandment
which is my text. He AYERS in some
of his campaign literature that he
was born from good old Quaker
Methodist stock" hence he will not
dispute the bible which he must have
cad in his boyhood days.
The reason that l am preaching
s sermon is that religion and poll
are so inextricahly mixed in the
unfortunate gubernatorial campaign
that now besets Iowa that even /
must preach instead of declGim.
Sad as it may appear to those who
love him best and confide in him
most, Edward T. Meredith has borne
false witness against his neighbor,
thereby committing the sin of break
ing of Gods commandments. I
am the neighbor against whom
he has borne false witness.
His letter to Morris Fitz a
brother Methodist of this city, is the
instrument he used to bear false wit
ness against me, his neighbor. This
letter was published in the Des
Moines Register on Thursday morn
ing, October IL, and it would be idle
for me to speak of its contents, for
the whole state of Iowa knows them
and knows the inevitable light the
statement of that letter have placed
me in before the people of Iowa.
Forgetting for the moment the
spiteful inuendo of many phrases and
sentences of that letter, l will take
up the paragraph in which my neigh
Dor, Edward 4. Meredith, has borne
false witness against me. 1t is this:
"You also charge that l attended a
beer party given in your city in 1915.
The facts of the case are that on
the occasion to which you refer, l.,

find that Dalton had keg of beer on

fact when we accepted his invitation.

Pimplcs. sores, and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through
the verv ducts which should absorb only
nourshmcnt to sustain the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form OF urine. but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
in the form OF pimples.
The suresy way to clear the skin of
these eruptions says noted authority.
is 10 get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass OF hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation

from States which have not an acre OF

Western States their lands, on the
ground that the States know better

ter accusation: but in recent time tho

improved, and to enter now on gem

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-From data just

patriotic songs familiar to nearly every

The national song OF the French. the
"Marsellaise." was composed by Rou-
get dc Lislc. a captain of engineers

teers Of the Bas Rhin received orders
to join Luckner's army. They had no
music. but at the suggestion of Dietrich,
the mayor OF Strasburg. De Lislc com
posed this song on the night of April
-, 1892. 1t was subsequently sung in
Marseilles with immense success, hence
It's name. The song as 1t stands Is the
greatest revolutionary hymn In the
