Cedar Rapids Republican,: This
paper, having alluded to the fact that
only one governor Of Iowa has been
native born, the Marshalltown Times
Republican came at once to the fore
that that was another argument in
favor of it's man, Cosson being Iowa
born, but the Sioux City Journal, with
that persistency and logged exact
ness which is acquired under the late
Geo. D. Perkins, comes back with the
records and shows that Cosson was
born in Miss ouri, to be exact, in La
clede county of that state. Since it's

Marshalltown paper will have to show
us again. We always thought some
things peculiar about Cosson, but

HOW TO CLEAR
away PIMPLES

Battle your face for several minutes
with resinol soap and hot water, then
apply little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
Of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing resinol medication soothes and
cleanses the pores, removes pimples and
blackheads, and leaves the complexion
clear and velvety.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap
stop itching instantly and speedily
heal skin humor., sores, burns, wounds
and chatting. Sold by all druggists.
SOAP FOR BABY'S TENDER SKIN
The regular use of resinol soap is
usually enough to prevent those dis
tressing rashes and chafings to which
most babies are subject. This is SO,
first, because resinol soap is absolutely
pure and free from harsh alkaE, and
second, because it contains the resinol
medication, on which SO many physi-
clans rely for skin troubles.

scheduled l0-round bout at the Madison

This was Morans second victory over

in three rounds. Last night, however,
Coffey showed much Improvement, and
it was not until the eighth round that
Morans terrific smashes showed any eff
feet In the ninth Coffey was knocked
down four times for count Of nine.
The last time Moran almost drove him
through the ropes, but he managed to
get up within the time. His seconds,
realizing that he was beaten, threw a
sponge into the ring to avoid a knock
out.
During the first seven rounds Coffey
was complete master of the situation
and it looked as il he would win on
points, Moran tried vainly to land on
him, and Coffey punished him severely
with heavy upper cuts. When Moran
finally cut loose in the eighth it was all
his way.

Debate on Responsibility fOrDisturbance
of Neutral Shipping Becomes
Spirited.

Washington, d. c., Jan. s,--Responsi-
bility, as between Great Britain and
Germany, for the disturbance of neutral
trade on the seas was the subject of
another spirited debate in the Senate
yesterday during consideration of Sem
ator Walsh's resolution to investigate
the freight embargo at eastern ports.
When Senator Newlands was stating
that the tieing up of German ships was
partly responsible, Senator 0'Gorman in
quired if he considered in that connec-
ton that 200 neutral vessels had been
taken from commerce because of the
British orders in council, rightly desig-
mated by the state department to be in
of all international law.
ut is not true that the trade has been
deprived OF two hundred neutral ves-
sells" declared Senator Nelson. 'sMany
neutral ships may have been taken into
port by Great Britain, but only for
temporary delay during search for con-
traband. But what has taken freight

Ban on Arms Would Leave Loot in

Washington, d. G., Jan. s.--A pro
posed embargo on the shipment of arms
was bitterly denounced yesterday by
Representative A. r. Gardner Of Massa-
chusetts, who declared that such action
would tie the hands of the allies and
leave the plumber secure in Germany's

He frankly took the side Of the allies,
and pleaded that the United States
should not take any action which would
seem to encourage pillage, savagery and
inhdelity."
Gardner was vigorously criticised after
bis speech by Representatives Cooper
and Stafford of Wisconsin. The former
senior Republican member OF the for
eign affairs committee, said:
.sThe speech in neutral country
WAS as violent an attack upon Germany
as could have been made in the British
