AT the opening of the hunting sea-
son, the following Iowa law will be in
teresting to hunters. Section 2555 of
the code reads as follows: "No person,
company or corporation shall at any
time ship, take or carry out Of the state
any of the birds, but it shall be lawful
for any person to ship to any person
within this state any game birds, not
to exceedone dozen in one day, during
the season when the killing of such
birds is not prohibited; but he shall
first make an affidavit before some per-
son authorized to administer oath that
said birds have not been unlswfully
killed, bought, sold or had in posses
sion, and are not being shipped for sale
or profit, giving the name and post
office address OF, the person to whom
shipped, and the number of the birds
so shipped" The laws in Nebraska
and South Dakota are much the same
in this regard. In South Dakota, how
ever, the law says that fine of SIS shall
be assessed for each bird shipped out of
the state. To shoot in South Dakota
the foreign sportsman-that is non.res-
idents of the state-are compelled to
take out shooters license, which costs
the sum of $40.

The President and the Trusts.

The president is circling around and
takingis few long range summer shots at
the trusts, a performance which amuses
rather more than it annoys them. The
real question is, how will the president
behave when he gets into close quarters
with the monster when congress is in
session next winter When he gets close
enough to sees its claws, feel its warm
breath and hear its defiant threats, will
he then use his gun or throw it away |?
That is the question. Democrats are
accustomed to fighting the beast, but it
will be something new for republican
to undertake that kind of work.
We would like to see president of
the United States use all the power of
bis Office in q contest with the merger

That Shelter to Monopoly Plank.

4nat onelter TO monopoly FLANK.
There is q tendency on the part of the
trust defending newspapers to belittle
the platform of the republicans of Iowa
on the tariff question. They keep as
surfing themselves that 1t is meaning
less declaration, q sort of dog-day folly
that will not be seriously insisted upon.
There is however, one notable excep-
ton. The New York Sun insists that
the shelter to monopoly plank is not q
meaningless combination of words, but
rather "a platform which carries the
conviction of its truth In every man in
the United States, republican or demo-
crat." And, therefore, -"ceases to be a
platform in the ordinary sense of the
word"
