RECORD ABSTRACT.
County Recorders Required to Do AID.
dtonal Work.

County Recorder Geo. H. Smith has
just discovered that in the filing OF
the plat of the new town of Farson
recently an important part of the
work was left undone. A new law
was enacted by the twenty-ninth gen
eral assembly requiring that a COM
plete abstract of title must be attach
ed to all plats filed and that the alb
stract must be spread upon the record
ers books and be made a matter of
record the same as the plat. Farson
is thenew town on the Milwaukee cut
off and is in COMPETING township near
the town of Competine. This was the
first town plat to be recorded under
the new law and as the question had
not come up before the full meaning
of the law was not understood. In a
letter recently Attorney General Null
len gives an opinion bearing upon this
subject, which states that it is his
opinion that the abstract must be re-
as the plat and other evidences of title
included il the matter
| Mullan's Letter.
! In his letter Mr.. Mullan says:
Il am receiving numerous inquiries
from recorders in different counties in
the state and others relative to the act
of the twenty ninth general assembly
requiring an abstract to be attached tC
a plat before the sameiis recorded and
asking my opinion as to whether it is
the uuty of the recorder to record
such abstract. Upon careful examin
alton of the statute | am inclined tc
hold that the abstract must be record
ed. The language of section 917 OF
the code indicates that it was the in
tention of the legislature that the alb
stract should be made matter o.
record in the same manner as the 9th
er evidence of title of the land includ
ed in the plat
Sec. 915 as amended reads: Ever!
such plat shall have complete alb
stract of title attached thereto ant
shall be accompanied by a statemen
to the effect that the subdivision -
as appears on this plat is with the fire.
consent and in accordance with TIL
desire Of the proprietor. which shall
be signed and acknowledged by hin
: before some officer authorized to tax
the acknowledgment of deeds
'It is clear that the statement re
J quired by section 915 must be entere
of record under section GIT and thin
, it was the intention of the legislator
! that the abstract should be treated a
part of the statement attached t
the plat. C. w. Mullan.'

that at the time of the location Of the

The promoters spent 100000 for the

marked that it was "a shame to spoil

PEOPLES PULPIT.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Politics From Business Standpoint.
Can anyone give any real good rea-
son why business, as well as common
sense, should not. at least to some ex-
tent influence the ordinary individual
in political matters?
Should not a man when he goes to
the polls to vote, use the same intelli-
gence as he does in his other business
or private affairs?
When one requires the assistance of
a professional man or mechanic or a
business man he naturally employs the
best one whose services he can secure.
If he has had other work of the same
character in the past and has had the
assistance of some one who has done
satisfactory work, he very naturally
employs the same one. He does not
experiment by taking chances of find
ing some one else who probably has
been recommended as lust as good.'
1t would seem that our body polite
would be in a much more healthy con-
dition If little more independence
and common sense were used by the
voters on election day.
| Take the present situation in our
congressional district: What possible
excuse can any man who has the real
i.interest of the country, or even his
own private interest at heart, give for
voting for the candidate, or even his
own private interest, at heart, give for
voting for the candidate of the demo
cratic party as against that of the re-
publican party? In the one case we
have man who no doubt has good
| I'm 90 of MINING
| tiers affecting the mining industry, but
who has had no experience in legisla-
tive or legal affairs, who has had lit
tie if any real business experience OF
| training, whose entire life has been
given to one line of business and in
consequence has not and can not have
the general knowledge that is neces
sery to fit him for legislative duties. Ii
the other case we have man who has
given the best years of his life to legal
legislative and economic questions
One who in legal matters stands at the
head OF his profession in his owl
state; whose reputation as lawyer il
national who is considered cool
shrewd, thoroughly posted, well rea(
and up-to-date on all matters affecting
his profession. AS legislator he i!
the equal of any man in congress to
day. He has at his finger ends tn,
rules and routine of congress SO tina
he knows what to do, when to do i
and how best to accomplish results
Take the record of Major Lacey in con
gress and you will find that he neve
. speaks on subject that he Is not mas
ter of, and no amount of interruption
or questioning will throw him off hi
guard, because he takes pains to stud,
a subject before he takes part in TIL
debate, and, having the ability and dc
sire to know the real merits of sui
ject upon which he is called to act, HI
is in position to deal with it in an il
telligent manner and as result his il
fluence in congress is second to none
The Iowa delegation in congress at tn
present time is one of the stronges

of the fact that its members are me-
