H U
Republicans Would Place Taft and
Sherman Announcements Oyer
Closed Factory Doors.
There was made poblio Tuesday a
correspondence wherein John W. Kern,
democratic- nominee for vioe president
sought and obtained from D. M. Perry,
ex-president of the national association
of manufacturers and a prominent re
publican, the expression of an opinion
hostile to posting "prosperity pla
cards" in factories, to the effect that
"on the day after the election of Taft
and Sherman this factory will start
up in full force."
Kern asked Perry "in the light of
the fact that the present high tariff
has not maintained prosperity, I would
like to ask you whether posting these
placards does not savor of trying to
obtain money ander false pretenses?"
Perry replied that be was not in
sympathy with such abuse of power of
au employer; that it was poor business
policy to promise to run a factory on
full time iu the event of any election,
that business reaction was quite be
yond the power of political parties to
control; that be could not bring him
self to post such placards despite bis
republicanism, and bo deolares:
"I have no sympathy with the state
ment that Bryan is an enemy of in
dustry than I do with the statement
that Tatt is a creature of trusts" and
he said that at a recent poll the man
ufacturers associations of the country
bad shown a majority of members in
favor of a revision of the tariff.

Wheat, $40 per Acre.
Tbe Vanderbaye brothers, who have
a big wheat ranch about six miles
above Milton, bave harvested a fine
ciop. From one field, says a Milton
item, of 300 acres the yield averaged
better than 50 bushels to the aore.
Wbeat is selling at over 80 cents a
bushel, and owing to the difference in
cost of harvesting, the net proceeds
will be larger than those of last year.
Tbe gross income from the wbeat land

101 MAY GO DRY FOR SURE
Anomaly of the Present "Prohibition"
- Law Is Reviewed.
"Iowa cauted, decanted and recant
ed" is tbe way tbe working of prohi
bition iu that state is summed op in
Appleton's magazine for September by
Trumbull White, who has observed
tbe working of tbe Iowa auti-liquor
law for tbe past 20 years.
According to bis conclusions tbe
situation iu legard to liquor selling in
Iowa is muob like that in referenoe to
race-track gambling in New York be
fore Governor Hngbes forced the anti-
gambling aot through the legislature,
Tbat is forbidden by the law of (be
state, but is permitted by another law
tbrongb the device of imposing a fine
wbiob amounts to no more than
license.
This measure, wbiob 'is known iu
Iowa as tbo mulct law, provides for
tbe virtual suspension of tbe probibi
tory statutes if tbe written oouseut of
a majority of tbe legal voters in a oity
or 65 per cent of tbe voters of a county
is obtaiued. When this is done lioeuses
may bo issued by the local authorities,
tbe state lioense fee being $800, while
tbe cities may charge additionally
whatever they oboose.
Under this system about one-fourth
of tbe counties along tbe Mississippi
and Missouri rivers in which the ma
jority of tbe cities of tbe state are lo
cated, bave legalized liquor selling,
It is, therefore, erroneous to speak
of Iowa as a probitition state for a
large proportion of the population live
iu communities where saloons are nl
lowed to run openly and legally, al
though tbo prohibition laws passed 25
years ago never bave been repealed,
and in some of tbe rural counties are
still euforoed.

P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Cougress St.,
Chicago, tells of a way to become
strong: He says: "My mother, who
is old and was very feeble, is deriving
so much benefit from Eleotrio Bitters,
tbat I feel it's my duty to tell those
who need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about it. 'In my mother's
case a marked gain in flesh has result
ed, iusomnia bas been overcome, and
she is steadily growing stronger

stomach, liver and kidney complaints.
