lNEBRIATE LAW ALL RIGHT.
Judge Roberts at Centerville Decides
That 1t Is Constitutional.

Judge Roberts at centerville Decides
That 1t Is Constitutional.
Judge M. A. Roberts, of this city,
sitting at Centerville, has decided the
Abrams inebriate law is constitutional
although he said there was some
doubt in his mind as to it's constitu-
tionality; however he would let the SUI
preme court decide it. His decision
was given in the Lew Roth case Mr..
Roth was taken before Judge Roberts
to be sentenced to the inebriate asy
lum at Mt Pleasant. He made de
Tense, and by his attorney, ]. M. Viii,
son, filed demur to the application
on two grounds. The first was as to
the manner of bringing him before
the court, but Judge Roberts ruled
that when the legislature gave court
power to do thing it gave implied
power as to the method.
The other ground was that the pro-
cedure is unconstitutional for the rea-
son that it does not grant jury trial
The judge said this was a weak point
in the law, but ii the proceeding was
in the nature of criminal proceeding
then the law was unconstitutional. If
however, it was merely proceeding
to provide treatment. he thought the
law constitutional He said he would
certify the question to the supreme
court and recommend a hearing be
fore the full bench if the interested
parties desired to take it up and gel
final decision on it.

ington for the summer.

cupied the room a half dozen nights
just before his departure from Wash
ington for the summer.
AS heretofore stated it is hoped to
have the residence portion of the
White House ready by October /. The
work has been rushed all summer and
is now being pushed all the harder.
However, it is not thought that the
President and his family will occupy
these rooms for some time to come. 1t
is understood that DR. Rixey and others
of the medical profession have advised
that the rooms be not occupied for at
least month after they are finished.
1t is pointed out that the dampness
from the plaster and papered walls
will be dangerous. AS soon as the
workmen finish. heat might be put into
the rooms to dry them, but it is de-
clared that this process might not be
as successful as the natural one of
time.
Considerable interest centers in the
return of the President to Washington
instead of Oyster Bay. Roosevelt was
due here in less than two weeks to re-
view the G. A. R. parade, but there is
nothing that anyone knows of to call
him mere before that time. The posi-
bilities are that the President desired
to De here to wind up a number of
things that have been pending this
summer His condition will not, it is
said, prevent him from giving atten--
ton to considerable business. By dis
nf ha LOT
ing him and by working on his next
message, he may have time later on
to resume his western trip or make
any other trip Though it would be
possible it is not thought likely that
he will resume the western trip. The
President was greatly disappointed to
give up the journey and it is realized
that the people who had been expest--
ing him were also badly disappointed.
Consequently it is very likely that all
these engagements will be only con-
|sidered postponed and will be fulfilled
some time next year. Some unprinci--
pied ones started rumor in Wash
ington that the Presidents
wound was not serious and that he was
only too glad to get out of the puzzling
complications of the western Journey
This talk was crushed out almost as
quickly as it appeared by the most
positive and indignant denials of any
such possibility. 1t is stated that Mr..
Roosevelt only consented to give up
his trip after the most strenuous urg-
ing from his physicians. The fact that
he kept up day longer in considera-
bic pain to express some of his tariff
views shows that he was not afraid of
the question. His tariff speech was
made in driving rain to a compara--
lively small crowd, several days before
| it was expected. The President was
determined to get his views abroad be-
| fore he gave up. Harold Mahin.

So Says State in Case of Loca
Dealer.
CHARLES BURNETT is ARRESTED
Alleged That He Placed Formaldeiyde
in Lacteal Fluid to Preserve 1t
State Dairy Commissioner lnvesti-
gated and information is Filled.

Chas. BURNETT, milk dealer of this
city has been arrested on a charge of
selling adulterated milk He is charg-
ed with using formaldehyde to keep
the product sweet and the arrest, it is
said, was made after samples of the
milk had been tested by State Chemist
Macy, OF Des Moines, and found to
DE adulterated. Late yesterday after
noon the defendant was arraigned in
Justice j. A. Billiards. court. and plead
not guilty to the charge. His prelim-
mary hearing was set for next Tues
day morning at o'clock.
Use EmbaImine Fluid.
State Dairy Commissioner H. r.
Wright was in the city the latter part
of last week, called here to investigate
the charges which had been made
that the milk dealers We're using pre-
servatiyes to help keep the product
sweet. The states agent in this city
E. B. Hill, had been carrying on an
investigation for some time and when
he discovered evidence that the EN-.
balming fluid was being used by one
dealer and probably more, he immedi
ately notified the state commissioner
who at once came to the city to in
vestigate the matter.
Took Six Samples.
Upon the arrival of the commits
sioner in Ottumwa he and Agent Hill
secured samples from six dealers who
We're suspected of having violated the
law. The samples were taken TO Des
Moines, where they were examined by
Commissioner Wright and State
Chemist Macy, when it was fount
that there was formaldehyde in the
sample OF the milk being sold by Mr.
BURNETT.
Is Hot on the Trail.
Commissioner Wright at once mott
fed Mr.. Hill to bring suit against the
alleged offender. In the other sample:
tested, it is said. authorizations were
found, but the proof was not cleal
enough to warrant prosecutions. The
dairy commissioner is hot on the trai
of violators of the law, and is now
making strong effort to stop the
use of authorizations by the dairy men
Mr.. Burtnett's Story.
Mr.. BURNETT, it is stated, claims
that he does not get his milk from
his own COWS, but buys it in bulk, anC
then retails it. He claims that for this
reason he is not responsible for thu
authorizations found in the product
This will be test case and it's out
come will be watched with interest b.
the public.

TAKE TARIFF OUT OF POLITICS

President Roosevelt made the most
sensational speech of his public career
a few hours before his western trip
was ended by the more sensational
announcement at Indianapolis that he
had gone to the operating table. 1t
was virtually fiat declaration for the
creation of a non-partisan board of tar
if experts, whose duty it should be to
revise tariff schedules from time to
time as need of change might arise
and so take the whole question out of
politics.
1T is the merest truism to say that
in the modern world industrialism is
the great factor in the growth of ma,
tions. Material prosperity is the foun-
dation upon which every mighty ma
tional structure must be built. OF
course, there must be more than this.
There must be high moral purpose
life of the spirit which finds it's ex--
preston in many different ways-but
unless material prosperity exists also
there is scant room in which to de-
velop the higher life. The productive
activity of our vast army of workers,
of those who labor with head or hands,
is the prime cause of the giant growth
of this nation.
In such development laws play a
certain part, but individual character.
istics a still greater part.
THE best laws that the wit of man
can devise would not make commun-,
ity of thriftless and idle men prosper.
Gus. Work in combination may help
and the state can do good deal in its
own sphere. but in the long run each
man must rise or fall en- his own mer--
its; each man must owe his success
in life to whatever of hardihood OF
resolution, of common sense and of ca
pacity for lofty endeavor he has with
in his own soul
1T is a good thing to act in combi-
nation for the common good but it is
very unhealthy thing to let ourselves
think for one moment that anything
can ever supply the want of our own
individual watchfulness and exertion

AN ODD LAWSUIT.
Much Ado in Court About Pile of Old
Slabs.

rFrom Tuesdays Daily.J
An odd lawsuit is in progress in the
Wapello county district court today,
the point at isues being the ownership
of pile of oak slabs, worth proba
less than $40. The title OF the case is
Frederick Zeigler VS. Asa Shields,
Work & Work representing the plain
tiff and Steck & Smith the defendant.
Zeigler. it appears, is the owner of
a sawmill and did some saving for
Shields, farmer living near Amador,
in 1900. 1t seems that disagreement
arose over the ownership of the pile
of slabs after the saving was finished
and the controversy got into the
courts. The present trial is the re
suit.
Some thirty or more witnesses have
been examined and the case has reach
ed rather heated stage. The slabs
while the discussion is in progress, are
lying neglected and decaying, it is said
by people living in the vicinity.
