NO LAW A6AINsTIT.
Attorney General Mullan Says
Nothing Can be Done in Rock

The state of Iowa is poweress under
Its present laws to prevent the operation
OF the late reorganization scheme of the
Rock Island road. This is the opinion
OF Attorney General Mulan on the SUBJ
Ject, made public by Gov. Cummins,
who concurs in such opinion. The opin.

to the governor on Tuesday. That Off

before leaving the city last evening for

to the attorney general in soliciting his
opinion.
The effect of the attorney generals
opinion and the governors concurrence
therein is to bring an end to the inyesti-

Q WONDER THE PRESIDENT

PRESIDENT Roosevelt's ANNOYANCE at
the foolish sermon preached in his pres
ence on Sunday was quite natural.
Aside from the bad taste of holding him
up as "providentially placed IN the
executive chair" in place of much
older, wiser and abler man. the presen-
tation of MIR. Roosevelt as a modern

If he had proclaimed mortal combat, th
stone in his sling is so small and the

Everywhere of the Awful Force

The task which a description of the
dead city of St. Pierre sets for any
one who has gone climbing, stumbling
laundering among its ruins, who has
stood in the hot silence of its impass
able streets and looked about hip II
amazement, is SO great that a predatory
note. like an exclamation, is involunt

comprehend SO much; the actual an

horror of it; and then-this most diff
cult of all-that the gray, devastated
two-mile crescent at Pelees foot, circled
by gray hills as the curved hand circles
the candle flame, was the rainbow
city of St. Pierre.
In it's days of life and wealth of trop
ical color and light, its iridescence, one
might have pictured to himself St
Pierre in ruins, but now, save for the
red tiles one fndsshere and there under
the sheltering lee of the walls, no tint

more impossible it seems that such des-
truction could have been wrought
within the passage of few minutes.
Days of bombardment, the furious ven
geanae of a victorious uncontrolled
army, could not have effected it. Some
thing would have been overlooked
in the sacking, some one would have
escaped. Pelee left nothing bit the
shattered husks of houses; the people
fell where they stood, without a chance
to flee.
Man is vouchsafed little comprehen-
sion of such a whitening force. One
day he sees a wonderfully of glistening
white walls and red roofs rising in
palm-dotted terraces against a back
ground of luminous, manyhued green.
The streets are filled with brightly
dressed happy, indolent people. Color
catches the eye wherever it turns; here
the gaudy headdresses, kerchiefs, and
skirts of the native women: there the
flaming clusters of the "famboyant'
and saturating all, the soft yellow-whlte
light of the narrow streets. Below the
city lies the sea, indescribably blue
which tumbles in white foam along the
edge of the crescent. The ships of the
three nations ride at the weedy buoyS
in the harbor, with fleet of gayly
painted small craft gliding about them
Above the city mountain clearly
marked, nearly to it's summit, with the
soiltillers' poiygons of cultivated land
stands guard with cloud cap on its
head, La Pel@e, an emerald pyramid.
Another day, and the blue sea is
there; so is the mountain; but the city
has been torn from its green setting
and flung down and trampled upon
and not a soul has escaped. The
mountain, angry, SCARED, and distorted
drench with dust, is still tuning ovel
the ruin at it's feet and overhead a
great rounded mass of gray-whlte
vapor floats seaward from the crest.
Like Age-Old Ruins.
The crumb1ed walls, many OF them
having been built to the sturdy thick
