A Law.abiding Citizen.

Representative j. A. T. Hull, of
Iowa, sent some garden seeds from
Washington to a constituent this
spring. They came from the Depart
ment of Agriculture and were inclosed
in one of the regular franked Govern
ment envelopes. On the corner of each
of these envelopes appears this legend :
Penalty for private use, $780,.
A few days later Mr.. Hull received
a letter from his constituent which
read: Dear Mr.. Hull: don t
know what to do about those garden
seeds you sent me. l notice it is $500
fine for private use. l don't want to
use them for the public. want to
plant them in my private garden. |

At Centerville, Iowa, on Friday,
Judge Roberts held the Temple
Amendment unconstitutional, in the
case of Mcclure VS.. the G. B. & q.
The plaintiff was member of the
Burlington relief department and
accepted benefits from it, suing the
railroad for further damages. The
court held that he could not recover
after accepting benefits from the relief
department., which means the uncon-
stitutionality of the Temple Amend
ment, which created so much interest
in state politics few years ago.
