HOW TO LESSEN PERJURY.

President Mccarthy of the Iowa Ba,
Association, in his address at the Coun
Gil Bluffs convention, discussing the sub
iect Of "Peuury in Judicial Proceed
ings," said in part:
"From every voice and from every
pen, without one single exception
comes the startling and gloomy admis
sion that perjury is common in oul
courts; that it is committed in man
petty and in many important lawsuits
that it is found in the grand jury room
in the trial court and before innumer
able tribunals; that the sanctity of ar
oath is fast losing its ancient and sacred
meaning and that the baneful and vic.
ious tendency of false swearing is in
creasing.
'1s it true that perjury is committed
in judicial proceedings? need take nc
time for the discussion of this inquiry
before representative bar association.
Where is there lawyer who has not
seen the guilty criminal pass out of the
court room acquitted and set free be.
cause Of perjured testimony? These are
the things that produce anarchy, lynch
ing and invite just contempt as we'll as
lack of confidence in these tribunals
called courts of justice. One judge Of
long experience upon the bench writes
me that in his opinion about one half OF
all the evidence received on behalf OF
the defense in criminal cases is false.
''Some place the blame upon the skep.
tical and free thinking spirit of the
times, some censure the courts for the
careless, flippant, meaningless and in
different manner in which oaths are per-
mitted to be administered; others severe
ly censure the county attorneys and
grand juries for their Indifference or ap-
parent incompacity or inconpetency to
effectually and properly indict and pros
ecute those guilty of the crime. 1t is
doubtless true that all these and other
causes combine in creating the evil com.
planned Of. The grasping and CONNER.
cializing spirit of the age, where every
mans standard seems to be measured
by the amount of money lie has accum.
ulated, might well be added to the
catalogue.
'Let us now look into the final and
all important question-the remedies.
Many are loudly in favor Of abolishing
the oath altogether. l believe we are
not ready for the abolition of all oaths
But partial abolition of oaths is doubt
less advisable. Among these are official,
custom house and jurors oaths. Surely
no banker places greater confidence. in
his employe because he has sworn him
before installing him in Office. The
same is only too true in case of civil
officials. The legislature could aid us
greatly in our search for truth and JUS
tice by sweeping away all those useless
oaths, thereby giving judicial oaths,
greater force.
But we must not stop with reduc-
ton of the number of oaths and making
the administration of the remaining
more solemn. An all-important element
of remedy still remains-thatis, to make
the temporal punishment for perjury
more certain.
"a law should be enacted which not
only gives the trial court the power, but
which would make it his duty where he
has reason to believe that witness has
committed perjury before him to compel
the witness to execute bond to appear
before the grand jury on the charge Of
perjury"

1t makes a great deal of diff
ence who is elected governor Of Iowa.
The republican party Of this state is
under the dominion of bossism little
less powerful than the republican party
Of Pennsylvania. Years ago it was the
Clarksons who carried the politics of the
s.ate in their hip pocket. Another dy.3
nasty has lately been in control. Since
the Blythes and Hubbards have come
into power the dictation has amounted
to tyranny. The machine has had his
representatives in every part of the
state. 1t has controlled and subsidized
newspapers in a way the general public
can never be made to understand and
has dominated every phase Of political
action. Alb. Cum Minis is the one man
Of the party brave enough and strong
enoughsto bodily attack this machine
and undertake its overthrow. Such
courage on the part Of "a Polk county
politician" deserves not only admir-
alton on the part Of good citizens. but
also cordial support Des Moines News.

What has become of all the sheep that
once grazed peacefully over the rich
pastures of Harrison county? Time was
when republicans claimed thata low
tariff ruined the wool industry. They
secured high tariff, thereby protect
ing the trusts who pay what they please
for wool and sell, after manufacturing,
at whatever price they want to. Wool
ten to twelve cents a pound under high
tariff. Time was when every republican
in Harrison county who owned snag-
| gled toothed old sheep was cursing
| Dockery and a low tariff, claiming that
they had ruined the wool industry,
Since then they have a high tariff and
to their dismay wool went lower and
lower in. price, the manufactured goods
from the wool went higher and higher
lin price. How do you like it? On

What We Fat

Is intended to nourish and sustain
us, but it must be digested and as
simulated before it can do this. In
other words, the nourishment con-
tanned in food must be sepa rated by
the digestive organs from the waste
materials and must be carried by
the blood to all parts of the body.
We believe the reason for the great
benefit which so many people derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the
fact that this medicine gives good
digestion and makes pure, rich blood.
1t restores the functions of those or
gans which convert food into nour-
ishment that gives strength to
nerves and muscles. 1t also cures
dyspepsia, scrotula, salt rheum,
boils, sores, pimples and eruptions,

that have their origin in impure

Relation of feed to the Flavor Of Eggs.

Housewives who use many eggs
and all who habitually eat them
boiled know that there is much diff
ference in the flavor of even those
which are undeniably fresh. There
is a very general belief that the
flavor is influenced by the feed
which the hens receive, and that
materials possessing strong flavors,
like onions, turnips, ETC., impart an
injurious flavor to the eggs. The
truth of this belief was shown by
recent experiments at the North
Carolina Station.
Chopped wild onion tops and bulbs
were fed to hens, and the length of
time before there was a change in
the flavor of the eggs was noted, as
well as the length of time which
must elapse after onion feeding was
discontinued before the objectionable
flavor would disappear. At the
beginning of the trial half ounce of
chopped onion tops per head daily
was fed to twelve hens of different
breeds. Repeated tests did not
show any onion flavor in the eggs
until the fifth day, when it was dis
tinctly noticeable. The amount OF
onion fed was doubled for four days
and then discontinued. The eggs
laid while the larger amount of
onions was fed were so strongly
favored that they could not be used.
After disseminating the feeding OF
onions the flavor became less notice
able and in d week the eggs were OF
normal flavor. The main point
brought out by the tests was that
flavor can be fed into eggs. There
fore it appears that to insure finely
favored eggs it is necessary to re-
strict runs so that no considerable
amount of food which will produce
badly-havored eggs can be obtained.
Some years ago the New York
Cornell Station, in studying the ef-
feet OF heterogeneous vs.. carbonaceous
food for poultry, reported observa-
tions on the effect of the different
ratIons on the flavor of eggs. One
lot OF fowls was fed mixture of
wheat shorts, cottonseed meal and
skim milk another lot cracked corn
and corn dough. The former ration
contained much more nitrogen than
the latter. The hens fed corn laid
fewer eggs than those fed the nj
trogenous ration, but the eggs were
larger. The eggs produced by the
heterogeneous ration were OF dis
agreeable flavor and smell, had a
small yolk, and did not keep well.
the flesh of the poultry fed this ra-
ton, however, was darker, more
succulent and tender than that of
the fowls fed the carbonaceous ra-
ton.
These experiments also show that
the food has a marked effect on the
flavor of eggs. The general expert
ence of poultry raisers is that nj
trogenous rations are more profit
able to feed, since they produce a
larger number of eggs. In view of
the fact that such a ration, it too
rich in nitrogen, may produce eggs
of unpleasant flavor, it would seem
advisable to note the effect of any
ration fed upon flavor, and modify
it, if the eggs are found to be inferior
in this respect.-C. f. LANGwoRTHY.
