DEMOCRATS DIDN'T VOTE.
In the dispatches to one of the Chi
cago papers that has always been a [what" that'^111
"was.
booster for La Follette relative to the
Wisconsin election It is said:
"Returns from the democratic coun
ties indicate that the democrats, In
stead of going into the republican
primaries and voting for Lenroot,
either remained at home or voted for
their own candidates. It was on this
vote that the Lenroot managers (La
Follette men) counted. Both Senator
La Follette and Speaker Lenroot, the
senator especially, were charged with
playing to the democrats throughout
the campaign. The result shows that
while many democrats In the state
admire La Follette and will support
him personally, they will not grow en
thusiastic over anyone.else for whom
he asks their votes."
This Is treated as a valuable piece
of news, that the democrats of Wiscon
sin did not participate In the republi
can primaries as one faction of the re
publicans expected they would. Can
it be that that is the way the reformer,
the "I am holier than thou" man of
Wisconsin has won his victories, by
getting the votes of the democrats In
the caucuses? Here in Iowa we have
been led to believe that everything
connected with the La Follette cam
paign was as pure as the air that
blows over the lake and as white as
the snow that caps the pines In the
north.
Why should it be worthy of such
prominence in a news story that the
democrats did not vote in the prim
aries. It would be worth plenty of
space for denunciation, if they had.
The fact that the Lenroot* managers
had counted on such support is good
evidence of the purity of the politics
that La Follette expected to get under
his new primary law, taking the dis
patch as correct, and It may be assum
ed that if there was any coloring It
was in the reform senator's favor as
this paper has been one of his chief
assistants.
However, what the plan may have
been and what worked out are two
different things, as the result shows
that La Follette's man was badly
Bnowed under in all parts of the state
except his home county. It is almost
impossible to believe that Wisconsin
is so early tired or reform. An ex
planation from the senator will be
anxiously awaited.
HOT SPRINGS
TREATMENT
The only place in Southernlowa where patients can get Hot
Springs Treatment with Turkish Vapor, Electric Shampoo or Mas
sage Baths. We have a bath house of 14 rooms, fully equipped to give
treatment for Chronic Diseases, equal to any springs in the country.
Our bath house is supplied with the Ottumwa Mineral Water that con
tains iron, sulphur, potash and mineral salts that will eliminate.
It is also observed that In other
states where the "Washington crowd"
finds it proper to tane a hand In af
fairs of its own commonwealth there
is a great hubbub started by the re
formers, but it seems to be all right
in Wisconsin, where the prince of re
formers lives. What is a sin in other
senators is a virtue in La Follette. He
can do no wrong. However, the Wis
consin people seem to take kindly to
the proposition of having him come
back and try to force upon them a
governor they do not want. It seems
that it was a delight to them to know
what he wanted in order that they
might be sure that he did not get it.
The reformer is also unable to blame
It on the "system" this time, as It was
his own pet scheme that was in opera
tion. This was the first trial at the
primary that he was so anxious to'get
in order that the will of the people
might be expressed. The returns show
THE MISSOURI FEUD.
Trouble Is brewing in Missouri. Folk
will be In it. Senator Stone will be In
It. Bryan will be in it. Stone and
Hawes would not attend the Bryan re
ceptlon in New York when they found
that Folk was to have such a promin
ent part. Folk having found out why
they aid not go refuses to ride in the
carriage with Stone at the Bryan re
ception in St. Louis September 11.
Bryan's attitude toward Folk has not
been helped any by the comments of
the Missourian on the proposed govern
ment ownership of railroads as put
forth by the Nebraskan. That Is the
beginning of the trouble and the finish
is not yet.
We Treat Rheumatism, Blood and Skin Diseases, Sciatica, Lum
bago, Stomach, Liver and Kidney Diseases by the use of Baths,
Electriaity, Vibrator Massage that can not be duplica'.-id by any trav
eling doctor or pretender. eW have Turkish, Vapor, Electric, Show
er, Shampoo'and all ninds of baths. Our office is equipped with the
X-ray Machine, Electric Cabinets, Vibratory Massage Apparatus, In
haling Apparatus and every known treatment that can be given in a
well equipped office.
Our Office not an advertising scheme to get large fees from the
people and In a week or a month pack up and leave. If you want hon
est and reliable treatment, come here.
Stomach Diseases—We treat hundreds of people yearly for Stom
ach diseases by the Hot Fomentations, Electricity and Vibratory Stim
ulation. OUR PATIENTS GET WELL.
Rheumatism, Sciatica, Kidney, Liver and other diseases are treated
b7 baths, Electricity and Vibratory Massage.
Chronic Headaches, Pain in back of neck, pains and soreness of
spine is readily cured by Electricity and^ Vibratory Massage.
The Vibrator 1b a new electrical apparatus used to tre3t the nerves
Instead of using the hands or thumbs by manipulation. The ball and
appliances are used every nerve and muscle can be vibrated and
stimulated.
Bryan says it is necessary that har
mony among these men be established
if the democratic party is to carry Mis
souri this year, but just how such is
to be accomplished is not among the
solved problems. The trouble between
Stone and Folk Is not new. It has
grown up with Folk. It was only ag
gravated when the governor learned
why the senator and Hawes did not at
tend the New York demonstration. Be
fore they knew of the executive's
prominence in the arrangements they
had made elaborate arrangements to
be there when the guns were fired.
Senator Stone had named a large com
mittee to attend and Hawes had used
his Influence with the Jefferson cluh.
Rupture cured by Our Special Method. We have cured hundreds.
Ask for Book on Rupture, which gives you Information for Investiga
tion.
Piles, Fistula, Rectal Diseases of Women cured in a very short time.
Our office Is an Institute for the treatment of Chronic Diseases

and Business Men of the City. Call on or address,
Now that Bryan has put his foot in
to the trouble something more inter
esting is looked for. Tne Nebraskan's
experiences at mixing into the affairs
of other states than his own has not
been the pleasantest uptodate. Wheth-
Remember
we have bes located in Ot
tumwa for fifteen years,
and have a rervitation of treat
ing people honestly, as well as
successfully, and you can be
treated here for Blood or Skin
diseases Contagious Blood Dis
eases, as thoroughly as In any
Hot Springs in the country. We
have cured many who failed to
be cured at the Springs.

EACH BLAME8 OTHER.
President Stensland blames Cashier
Herlng and Cashier Herlng blames
President Stensland. What a prevail
ing characteristic of human nature It
Is to blame misdeeds to somebody else.
That was one of the first acts known
to humanity. Adam blamed BJve and
ever since that time mankind has
sought to transfer the suspecting eyes
of the third party to some othnr object
than himself when a wrong has been
commlttted.
Hering, the cashier of the Milwau
kee Avenue State bank of Chicago was
In the city when the institution's doors
were closed. It was a few days before
he was located, but he gave himself
up without any effort to escape, and
told the story that Stensland was the
cause of it all that he was born a
thief and had been In the business ever
since that he not only ruined the
bank, but he ruined him. The eyes of
the country were then in every place
searching for this devil of a Stensland,
who had been so pictured by Herlng.
Finally he was caught in a faraway
land, and what was among the first
things he said? "Hering was the
cause of it all. He tempted me and
since that time I have been like a
puppet in his hands." Back came the
cablegram and Herlng was faced with
the statement made by Stensland.
A flat denial was forthcoming. "If he
is innocent, why did he run away?
says Herlng. But there will be a dili
gent search for the truth, and when
that Is secured somebody will pay the
penalty, and if all printed reports are
true, it will be both of them.
THAT WASHINGTON CORRESPON
DENT.
There is a Washington correspon
dent for a Des Moines newspaper that
seems to be having a terrible time get'
ting things straightened out in Iowa.
Even the people in the Hawkeye state
are beginning to worry because they
are causing such a flurry In Washing
ton. One would think that the whole
Iowa colony in the national capital
was spending sleepless nights because
of the political affairs of this state.
Not only that, but it seems to be the
old story of having to go away from
home to hear the news. The corres
pontent is hearing all sorts of things
that, are not thought of in Iowa.
His first spasm was about Dolliver.
It was feared that he was in great
danger of defeat, at the hands of his
best friends, Then there was another
turmoil in Washington and the seis
mograph showed that the shock was
felt all the way through to Iowa. For
some unknown reason it stopped when
it got this far. This was brought about
on account of further concern regard
ing Dolliver. It was feared that Cum
mins would be defeated and then his
friends would turn In and elect him
senator in Dolliver's place whether he
wanted it or not. In fact if he was de
feated for governor they would be
sure to do it and the Fort Dodge mar.
would be clear out. While the news
paper printed the story it felt it neces
sary to state that there was not any
indication here that affairs should
take such a turn.
Then came the startling information
from Washington that Mr. Blythe of
Burlington had consented to let the
people along the Burlington railroad
vote for Mr. Cummins if they wanted
to. The correspondent says that Mr.
PASTOR LEAVES FLOCK.
Dr. J. W. Frizzell of Sioux City, a
Congregational minister, created a
sensation by resigning as pastor and
telling his flock the reason why.
There was not so much of a sensation
in the resignation as there was in the
reasons. Among these are the follow
ing:
"Persistently found fault and criti
cised the pastor behihd his back."
"Some people told it that I have no
doctor's degree, and that other de
grees that I have were purchased by
me with money."
"Others are going about saying that
I am uncouth, that my manners are
bad, and that I am not aristocratic
enough for this church."
"Some are charging me with utter
ances that I never made."
"Some are going about trying to get
members to withdraw their financial
support and thus starve me out."
"Some say I push missions too
much others find fault with my ser
mons."
"If there is anything worse than this
In a political campaign, I d? not know
what it is, and if these things are true
as reported to me, I want to. obey the
master's injunction: 'When they per
secute you in one city, flee to anoth
er,
It is Indicated by his discourse that
there has been no opposition to him
by the church as an organization, but
prominent members of his congrega
tion have caused all of the discord.
Newspaper reports say that he was
congratulated upon what he had the
nerve to say to these people.
All of this brings, tQ mind tbg softer
ing that other pastors are bearing In
sllenoe. The Sioux City man is not
the only victim of these busy bodies.
He has come into prominence because
he is perhaps of such a temperament
that he could not bear it longer and
he made public grievance.
Ihisthat
The wonder
churches get
along as harmoniously as they do. Ev
efy church has a number of such peo
ple, some more and some less. It 's
not one pastor they are not satisfied
with. They are satisfied with none of
them unless their advice is sought and
followed on every question that arises,
socially, morally and financially. They
are natural disturbers. They are such
wherever they are, but it Is given
more prominence In church affairs
than elsewhere.
Pastors suffer much from these peo
ple. It Is not always himself who Is
whispered about. Sometimes it Is his
wife or some
otheT
member of his
family who has drawn their displea
sure by not listening to their dictation.
Nearly every pastor upon taking hold
of a new charge has to beware of fac
tional strife. He knows that if he con
sults one person more than he does
another there is going to be trouble.
And there is, where such conditions
exist.
The ordinary hard working pastor is
not appreciated by these people. They
would rather work themselves into a
frenzy over some itinerant religious
enthusiast and empty their pockets
for him.
The social problem of the church is
a growing one, and the pastor wno
solves it best may be considered the
most fortunate.
CLEAN SPORTSMEN.
Clean sportsmen are rewarded the
same as clean men In any other occu
pation. It may come slowly while oth
ers seem to be getting the best of the
gleanings, and it sometimes takes a
long time to establish a reputation as
a clean sportsman, on account of the
ever present suspicion that there is
crooked work going on. Once estab
lished, however, it wins for the man
who establishes It.
One Instance of this kind Is today
before the whole country In the world
of the ring, and another is occupying
the attention of the baseball fans in
Iowa and Illinois. The first instance
is Joe Gans, who was awarded the
Goldfleld match over Battling Nelson,
and the second Is Belden Hill of Cedar
Rapids, who is known as the grand
old man of the Three-Eye league.
For years, it is now recognized,
Gans was used as a tool for his man
ager. His ability was not questioned,
but things did not pan out in the way
they were often expected to. Finally,
Gans cut away from this circle, and It
might be said he has been going it
alone. Since that time he has gained
the confidence of many admirers. It
took him some time to get away from
suspicion, but he now stands as a
champion and a square fighter, and
has gained the laurels that are right
fully his and few will say might not
have been his before. The praise that
is coming his way is merited and is
the reward that comes to one who is
determined to get away from tainted
reputations.
In the case of Belden Hill, he was
recently charged by certain Peoria
newspapers with being in collusion
with Umpire O'Connell and with his
pennant winning team from Cedar
Rapids was profiting by a knowledge
of the Peoria signals.
S?"nSoT rZestiSl theTea/ue^ welf ^7^=
t,W v.in,
th®
next state convention will be based
upon the vote of this year for gov
ernor, and he proposes to keep It up
to the limit. It is really very kind of
Mr. Blythe (^nd the correspondent) '.o
let the people along the Burlington
know so long ahead of time that they
can vote for Mr. Cummins if they
want to. It was hardly expected.
Wapeilo county appreciates the cour
tesy and will try and reciprocate If
Mr. Blythe (and the correspondent)
will permit.
Meanwhile the people of Iowa would
like to have the Washington corres
pondent keep on with his Joking. As
we have had so much seriousness a
little humor seems good.
Immediately upon the printing of
the charges there was a storm of pro
test throughout the league. Belden
Hill was too well known, and had a
reputation for honesfty and good
sportsmanship that would not permit
of any such conduot even on the part
of newspaper reporters who were over
anxious to make excuses for the team
not winning.
Although Pa Hill, as he is familiarly
known, was immediately cleared of all
suspicion by the newspapers through-
Meidroth and Manager Buelow of the
Peoria club, he did not propose to Sim
ply stand upon his reputation, proba
bty realizing that people are allowed
to go too far on their reputations for
honesty, so he immediately asked for
an investigation, and that is forthcom
ing. He proposes to find out where
the report came from and who Inspir
ed It. President Meidroth is a good
sportsman too, and he hfts fully apolo
gized for the conduet of the people not
under his control.
Not only has a storm of protest aris
en from the papers and the players,
but there is not a fan in the whole
Three -Eye league that will listen to a
breath of suspicion being cast over
Belden Hill. The patrons of the game
are as much interested as are the play
ers, for the public has become thor
oughly disgusted with fake perform
ances, whether they are fights, races
or baseball games. And when they
find a clean sportsman they will stand
by him. Belden Hill has earned his
reputation both as a player and a man
ager and now that he has attained an
age where he can not get into the
game very often he does not intend
to have any shadows upon his reputa
tion and there will be none.
"Keep the boys on the farm and
swell the depleted ranks with boys
from the city," Is the advice of James
J. Hill. It is hard to keep some boys
on the farm, but thousands of them
are staying and making more money
and as substantial men as the ones
who go to the city. Not only this, but
a large share of the younger genera
tion are farming better than their
fathers did. They have learned from
the experience of those who went
before them and are benefiting from
the revelations made by the study of
agriculture as a science.
The Nebraskans who went to New
York to meet their fellow citizen have
had plenty of troubles. They thought
all of the honors that went to Bryan
ought to have been shared with them
The New Yorkers and the Illlnolsans
had not planned It that way, however,
and the westerners think them very
poor hosts.

HEARST AND HIS PAflTY.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.—William
Randolph Hearst Is not without his
merits in politics, as politics goes—he
spends the money. That is no mean
virtue, as virtue goea in politics. Mon
ey makes the mare go, here as else
where. There may be no real corrup
tion, and still lots of money spent.
Just where the legitimate ends and
the illegitimate begins in campaign ex
penditures is conveniently Indefinite.
It Is largely a matter of Individual con
science, and then If the Individual Is
without conscience, the limit runs
high. Hearst, it is said in New York
papers, is spending $1,000,000 in his
efforts to capture the democratic nom
ination for governor of New York.
There are a lot of hungry wolves In
politics, and especially In New York
politics, and so much money l6t loose
at the Her.rst bung will attract no
small number of them. It is altogeth
er likely that Hearst's money gains
for him as much support as he gets
tnrough any hold he has upon the con
fidence of the people, not to say that
the one method Is a complete substi
tute for the other. There doubtless
are a lot of honest folk deluded Into
sincerely supporting Hearst, but It is
•afo to say that ,this vwy delusion is
bought by Hearst money paid to pro
fessional political workers.
But $l,000,00u, no matter in what
cause It is enlisted, Is no mean asset
In a political fight. It is as good for a
time as any Issue which might be
trumped up or seized upon. Hearst's
opponents know this. The politician,
however, who builds his hopes alone
on spent dollars will come to grief
sooner or later. Some day Hearst will
have the misfortune to be elected to
an executive office. That will be the
end of him. It will be up to him then
to deliver the goods. Promises he has
made oannot be delivered in dollars
paid to political hirelings. The truth
is that many of them cannot be re
deemed at alL Hearst as governor of
New York would have to have hearty
and aggressive cooperation of Provi
dence to fulfill all his promises. The
day of miracles and wonders would
have to be revived. Meanwhile, how
ever, his dollars and his promises keep
him afloat. This will be so as long is
he Is of the "out." Once he gets Into
the class of the "Ins" he Is a dead
duck, and the wonder is that he Isn't
given an early chance to hang himself.
Of course, however, timid interests—
which, by the way, are quite as lavish
with money as Hearst possibly oould
be—are fearful of the mischief he
might do during the short official life
which he might enjoy before commit
ting political suicide. And in the end
it comes to this, that Hearst is not to

Press thinks that if Mr. Roosevelt
should become a oandldate It wouUft
make "the candidate's sincerity thy
paramount issue of the campaign.**
Continuing, the Press says-:
'The American people this year,how*
ever, have an opportunity to pass
upon the work Mr. Roosevelt has done..
If they elect men to congress whoi
have stood behind him In his work for
the country, and will back him up un
til his share of it is finished, they will
do far more both fcr him and them
selves than they can do by wishing to
have him break a promise which they
ought to wish to see him keep. This
year's' will be the last opportunity for
the American people to cast a vote of
confidence for one who deserves It."
This states the Issue of the situation!
In a nutshell. President Roosevelt's
work Is not yet finished. But he has
been able to do a g'-eat deal he wan
enabled to do what he hais done

backed him up and aided him in the
accomplishment of his plans. He has
asked the American people to see to

that r~.uld not be overcome. No can
