THE MAN WITH READY MADE
OPINIONS.


Jacox is known among his friends as
a fastidious man. His coat, his shirts,
his boots are specially constructed for
him after anxious deliberations with his
tailor, haberdasher, and bootmaker con-
corning quality, styles-no detail being
too unimportant before the final order.
Yet Jacox, who could not conceive of
himself wearing readymade clothes, is
wholly content with ready made
opinions and sop-shop views. These
he buys for two or three cents on the
street and wear them unblushingly. In
matters engaging public attention there
is no man with stronger convictions, or
more prompt to assert them. While the
newspaper is still damp, he has run
down editorials, had shy at the head
lines. and is stocked up for the day. To
people who regard with some anxiety
the apparel of their minds it is discour-
aging to find Jacox thus early and easily
equipped. That he is ignorant of every
thing that goes TO the support of his
opinions is of no more consequence to
him than to know where the wool was
grown for his trousers. The intimation
that his views are not in fact his own,
that he is palming off the opinions of
another. would convey no reproach to

STRIKERS WIN a POINT.
Judge Mcpherson at Red Oak Decides
Against Iowa Telephone Company.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Sept. 9.-The striking
telephone employees were largely VIC
torious in the hearing of the case be-
tween the strikers and the Iowa Tele-
phone Company before Judge McPher-
son at Red Oak.
The Judge issued an order denying
the application of the Iowa Telephone
Company for the taking Of oral testi-
mony at Council Bluffs, Sept. 16, so that
the strikers and their witnesses will not
be required to go to the large expense
of spending week 140 miles away from
home during the trial of the injunction
proceedings brought against them by
the telephone company. He made an
order directing the attorneys for the
strikers and the advisory committee of
the Trades and Labor Assembly to pre-
sent arguments in support of two OF
their very important contentious,
namely:
That the state and not the federal
courts have jurisdiction in the proceed
ing brought before the federal court by
the trustee of the telephone company.
Second, that the telephone contracts
which it sought to protect by the in.
junction proceeding are against public
policy and null and void because the
Iowa Telephone Company has no fran
chise and no right to operate its lines
and business in the city of Des Moines.
This rule of the court gives the strik-
ers the chance to place before the Judge
their most important position, and one
which involves the whole controversy.
The franchise question has been re-
garded as the strong contention of the
strikers from the beginning.
