of the prayers for the plaintiff. In sub
stance they were as follows:
Before the plaintiff can recover damages
the Jury must believe that there was
contract entered into between the defend-
ant and plaintiff that they should In the
future become man and wife.
III there was no such promise between
the parties to marry each other tnen
no statement made in the presence OF
another would constitute contract, IL
these statements were made with the un-
derstanding that they were TO be for the
nurpose of deceiving and misleading the
nar;ies before whom they were made.
II there were Illicit relations existing
between the plaintiff and the defendant
then all terms Of endearment. evidences
OF familiarity and the financial support
of the plaintiff by the defendant must
be regarded as growing out OF these
Illicit relations and not out OF any
pronise of marriage.
The burden OF proof Of the existence
of a contract lies with the plaintiff.
The defendant having been married
on April 30 1898. any agreement to marry
made thereafter is void.
IF the Jury finds that a contract 10
rnarry was entered into between the
narties. and II they further believe that
the plaintiff was guilty OF lewd and
lascivious conduct with other men, sucn
n fact being unknown to the defendant,
he was by this released from his oblga-
ton to carry out the contract; and
this is so whether at the time Of his
refusal he knew of such conditions or
not.
If the jury finds that there was
contract, but believes that the plaintiff,
by threats or conduct, made the defendant
think that his life was in jeopardy from
her he is excused from fulfilling the
contract.
II the jury believes that there was
contract. but find that che plaintiff was
not without dault with other mon. the
verdict should be for the defendant. even

SAY, you conservative politician,
just look back to any period Of politi-
cal agitation and see how ridiculous
the conservatives of that time appear
now. The defenders of slavery were
conservatives; the tories Of the Ameri-
can revolution were conservatives.
They all belonged to the "stand-up"
crowd of their day, though most Of
them were ashamed Of it before they
died.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC
UTILITIES,

state and national, are those wherein
the management is exclusively under
public control. Our postofice system
has been so frequently cited that it is
unnecessary now to enlarge upon it's
methods or it's benefits. 1t is sufi-
Clent that every Americrn citizen
knows it to be the cheapest, the best
managed, and the most efficient In
stltution in the land, and yet it is not
owned by individuals or corporations,
nor is 1t conducted by private enter
prise. It is a conspicuous object

ous that the eyes of the people cannot
be diverted from it.
Our public school system is another
example Of like character. If indi-
Uduslism and private enterprise pos
gesses the superior advantages over
public management that they are
said to possess, why is not our educa-
tionsl system left to individuals or
fsrmed out TO corporations? Why
this invasion of the province of the
individual by the publiC3 And, is it
not strange that the bitterest op-
ponents Of "psternallsm," those who
cry loudest against the policy of gov
ernment ownership and management
Of railroads, telegraphs, telephones
and other public utilities, interpose
no objection to our postofiCe and
our public school systems? Why is
this the case? Is 1t not because
these institutions are too popular to
be attacked rather than because
these representatives Of corporate
greed and power would object to
their management for private gain?
Who believes that If it were possible
to transfer the management of the
postofice and the public school
systems from public to private
hands that the same press that is
now bitterest against the public man
agement Of other utilities would not
rejoice in such change and speak
Of it as q relinquishment by the pub
liC OF functions rightfully belonging
TO the individual? They refrain
from the advocacy of such a change
simply because they dare not under
take il. Public sentiment would not
now tolerate such an assumption
simply because public sentiment is
educated upon this subject in the
school Of experience. But if public
management is such q good thing in
these instances why should it be so
dreaded in other thingsH Is there
an Argument that can be advanced
against the public ownership and
management of railroads and other
monopolies that will not apply with
equal force TO the postoflce and to

NOTES AND COMMENT.

In school elections is on a fair way To
lpass the Iowa legislature.
Senator Wolcott has offered q resolu
tion providing for the submission OF the
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the states from denying suffrage to any
person on account Of sex.
BANDS latest production, the seignior-
age bill, is not meeting with any start
ling degree Of success so far. The first
motion to consider it in committee Of
the whole was defeated by a vote of 166
toe.
AS will be seen by reference to the
syllabus in this issue, in the case of
Mary E. Lease vs. ]. W. Freeborn, the
supreme court decided in favor Of the
plaintiff. The gist Of the decision is
that member Of the board of charities
can not be removed by the governor
without cause and without notice. 1t
is now question whether anybody
wishes to prefer charges to remove the
incumbent.
The recent decisions Of Judge Dundy,
the railroad lawyer who presides over
the United States court at Omaha, have
been the means Of raising a question
which has startled railroad people and
made some Of them think that jurisdic-
tlon in railroad matters has been carried
too far. Since the judge decided that
employees Of a road in United States re-
ceiver hands are government employees
and, therefore, not at liberty to quit
without the consent Of the court, the en-
ployes of the Union Pacific have in
quired why they should not be put on
the eight hour schedule along with other
government employees, as the law pro-
vides. The question is said 90 have been
first raised by Eugene Debs, the author
Of an article in this paper.
A funny incident about serious mat
ter occurred last week. A dispatch from
Nashville, Tenn, announced that John
j. Ingalls,, who was lscturing there, had
been converted to Christianity at Rev.
Sam Jones' revival. Next morning Q
dispatch from Atchison, Mr.. Ingalls,
home, declared the other report a can
ard, giving Mrs. Ingalls, as authority
that the ex-senator was already q mem-
bsr Of the Episcopal church and there
fore not in need of conversion. The
righteousness Of this denial must have
struck the public very forcibly. Since
Mr.. Ingalls, has frequently changed his
mind regarding political questions, there
is no good reason why he should not
have taken religious flop also. Yet the
report may have been false.
The latest sensation caused by that
dirty class Of scandal mongers who are
always accusing and seldom proving
their charges. has resulted in the arrest
Of ). A. Smith, Of Kansas City, better
known there as D1gfRce Smith. A few
days ago he reiterated the charges of
corruption made against the state ad-
ministrstiOn, making it more specific by
saying that Governor Lewelling, Police
Judge King, Of Kansas City, w. W.
Atkins and others had accepted bribes
from the gamblers Of Kansas CRY to per-
init them to carry on their business.
These charges he put in writing and

Section 13 of the statutes relating

which the construction is or shall be author
lied By law, the canal commissioners shall
have power, and it shall be their duty, to
make all such canals, feeders, locke, dams,
aqueducts and other works as they shall
deem the proper construction Of such Ca
mails to require; and they shall enter on, and
take possession Of, and use, all lands,
streams and waters, the appropriation of
which, for the use Of such canals and
works, shall in their judgment be necessary.
Section 33 Of the stetutes provides
that the commissioners shall make
such rules as they deem reasonable
for the navigation of the canals.
This duty now devolves upon a su-
perintendent of public works; and
under the regulations adopted, any
citizen may place a boat upon these
canals and engage in the business of
transportation.
Ohio and Indiana, and other states,
likewise, have state canals, and it
would seem to be in order for the ex-
ponents of corporate greed to show
why, inasmuch as a state may own
canal, 1t may not also own railroad.
1t would also seem to be in order to
show why the government of the
United States may not construct and
own the Nicaragua canal instead of
don ating the money for its construc-
tion to a corporation and then per-
mitting the corporation to own il,
and use it ever afterwards as an In
strument Of public plunder. The in
tensity Of the opposition Of the great
dailles to such q policy IN the face of
such facts as we have presented, sf-
fOrds ground of suspicion that they
are not acting altogether from I'M
selfish motives.
We hold that public ownership of
railroads, telegrsphs, telephones, and
all other utilities now monopolized or
susceptible of being monopOlized for
private gain at the expense of the
people, would inure to the benefit of
the people, and that il is therefore
the duty of the government in exc
cution Of the constitutional obligation
to provide for the public welfare to
assume the ownership and manage
ment Of all Puch utilities and monopo-
lies in the interest of the public. We
have CITED some of the examples of
public ownership and management
showing clearly their advantages;
and it would therefore appear to be
in order for those who oppose an ex-
tension of this policy to give some
reason for their opposition, or con-
fess that they have no reason Ind for
ever afterwards hold their peace.
The real reason for all this opposi-
tion is found in the profits of monop-
olies, and it is fair to presume that
the bitterness Of the press in this op-
position, in the face of the advant-
ages and benefits to the people of
pnblic ownership and management,
is inspired by a participationin those
profits. Until they present better
