OF all the candidates for judicial hon
oss who have filed their statements of
campaign expenses. a popocrat has the
honor of leading the list in amount eX-

election in a district in which his party

The Iowa State Board of Control has
not yet been able to find any work
which the convicts of the Anamosa penl-
tentiary can be put to which does not
meet with objection from free labor.
All agree that convict labor should not
be used for purposes which unnecessa-
rily compete with the free labor of the
land. 1t is n necessity, both from the
economic and humanitarian point Of
view, however that convicts should be
employed, and they cannot be employed
in any productive line without in some
degree competing with free labor. The
best that can be done is to put them to
work at some industry which conflicts
the least with ether labor and keep
them employed. If the board con
tinues its search until something Is
found which does not meet with objec-
ton from some source the convicts will
remain in perpetual idleness.

despond; they break the stiffened,

We can not see why Attorney
General jeff Davis refuses to en-
force the antitrust law. It's true,
as the Batesville Guard says, that
under the Supreme Court interpre-
tation of it there is not trust,
pool or combination in existence, or
possible of formation, either within
or without the state, that can do
business within its boundaries upon
agreed rates. What more than this
can the legislature provide? In
deed, what more is it desirable that
the legislature should provide? 1t
might, if it chose, enact into law
the sweeping construction which
the attorney general sought to have
the Supreme Court place upon the
present statute, and declare, in
terms, that no insurance company,
nor other corporation, should do
business, even on competitive ba-
sis, in Arkansas, if it were mem
Der of a pool or trust in some other
state. But that would be of no
earthly benefit to the people of Ar
kansas. The only result that could
follow, so far as we are concerned,
would be one of positive injury. 1t
would deprive us of the privilege of
doing business with these companies
on competitive basis, by forcing
them to withdraw permanently
from the state, and without accom-
plishing anything whatever for the
benefit OF the people Of other states,

by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the

When this tube gets inflamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
