Calomel acts like dynamite on
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it,causing cramping and nausea.

MANY LETTERS
COME FROM FRANCE
Big Batch of Overseas Mail
Reaches Webster
City.

During the past two or three days an
unusually large number of overseas
letters have been received at the Web
ster City post Office for people of the
city and on the rural routes. Previous
to this very few letters had come from
France for the past three weeks.
Letters reaching here lately evident
ly came over on the La Rochambeau, a
French liner which reac hed New York
the other day carrying 100000 pieces
of mail. Letters arriving here within
the past few days were mostly written
a week prior to the signing of the
armistice. The Freeman-Journal is
anxious to publish the first letter
reaching here written since the closing
of the war and asks its readers to
bring or send in any that describe the
soldiers celebration of peace.

Saw Mooney Bomb Outrage.

G. r. Burris, manager of the Star
Laundry of this city. was in San Fran
cisco July %, 1916 when ten men, wo-
men and children were killed with a
bomb thrown into the midst of pre-
paredness parade. He was making his
home there at the time and was view
ing the parade just a block from where
the bomb was thrown.
Mr.. Burris has no doubt but that
the deed was done by German sym
pathizers. He says that the public
was warned there would be trouble II
preparedness parade were held--the
same as passengers sailing on the Lusi-
tania were warned.
He has followed the case against
Thomas J. Mooney with considerable
interest. He says that union labor is
unusually strong in Cal fornia and that
the unions have been Alrgcly dominate
cd by the socialistic element, which ele-
ment was violently opposed to the
United States entering the war.

DID HE MEAN 1T?

In his partisan appeal to the people
just before the recent election. Presi
dent Wilson said in the opening para
graph:
The congressional elections are al
hand They occur in the most critical
period our country has ever faced OF
is likely to face in our time. If yo,
have approved of my leadership and
wish me to continue to be your TN
embarrassed spokesman in affairs al
home and abroad, / earnestly beg that
you will express yourself unmistaken
ly 10 that effect by returning II demo
cratic majority to both the senate and
house of representatives.
II is quite evident from the course
of the president since election that he
either didn't mean what lie said i'm the
foregoing or is utterly oblivious to the
wishes of the people. He asked them
to give him an endorsement by electing
democratic house and senate. They
replied by electing house having some
forty-fve republican majority and a
senate having two republican majority.
Yet the president proceeds to he the
peoples spokesman at home and
abroad In the judgment of the Free

OLD ABDUL is ASHAMED.

Old Abdul Medjid Effendi, heir tc
the Ottoman throne, said few days
ago, according to ConstantinOple dis
ratcl, that he was more ashamed OF
the Armenian atrocities committed dur
! ing the war than of anything else.
Possibly Abdul is not ashamed of any
thing, but, presmning that he is, it is
rcassuring that he should put the Ar
menian atrocities among the first
things to be ashamed of. Continuing
he said: "But l must insist that they
were against the will of the present
sultan and the nation as whole. They
were instigated by unpatriotic minis
ters who were guaranteed in their plac-
es by their services to German militar-
ism. The fanaticism of remote tribes
in their dislike for their neighbors and
the brutality of provincial officers scrv-
ed as the mediums. while the censored
press here concealed the facts from the
general public"
Few people will believe that Abdul is
sincere in these statements. The gen
eral verdict will be that he is playing
for the good will of the allies. Turkey
now needs help and only the allies can
render help. 1t is unfortunate for Tur-
key that there is no indication from
any Turkish source that the. people
were not backing their government in
doing the bidding of Germany. This
statement of the heir to the throne has
the earmarks of an eleventh hour con-
fession.

Not in National Guard.

Iowa soldiers, who entered the war
members OF the Iowa National guard
and were drafted into service by the
government when the Iowa units were
taken into federal service, will not au-
tomatically resume their status as
members of the national guard when
they are mustered out, according to war
department rulings received at the adj
jutant generals office.
Our understanding is that the old
national guard was practically done
away with when the troops were taken
into federal SERVICE" Maj. E. r. Lucas
of the adjutant generals department
says.
Iowa has no national guard at pre-
sent, other than the organization of the
adjutant generals Office and the new
regiment, which has been formed since
war was declared.
whether Iowa will have an extern
sive national guard organization in the
future depends almost entirely upon
what laws are enacted by the coming
congress to establish the United States
army on a peace basis"

man-Journml the rebuke the people
gave the president at the election was
not because they do not want him as
their spokesman in war matters at
home and abroad, but because they do
not want him to be the dictator Of
elections. Moreover, the people are
opposed to the attempts Of the presi-
dent and his leading party associates to
make political capital out of the war,
when there has been no division on
party lines in matters pertaining to the
prosecution of the great conflict.

The Eleventh congressional district
has been very close politically during
the past few years. but Judge Bots,
republican, was elected to congress
from that district at the recent election
by SOB ma ority, Notwithstanding his
opponent was former Congressman
Steele, admittedly the most popular
democrat in the district. The big
majority rolled up for Mr.. Bots is said
to be, largely due to President Wilson's
,unjustifable partisan appeal just be-
fore election. The republicans resent
ed the imputation of lack of loyalty
and went to work with a will to see
that the president was properly rebuk-
led at the polls.
