Up to date the democrats in the legis-
lature are taking no stand in favor of
home rule. On the contrary, they re-
corded their votes in favor of the bill
that takes away from the citizens of
Omaha the right to elect a board of
water commissioners and have gone on
record in favor of a governor-appointed
commission without responsibility or
accountability to the citizens Of Omaha
for the expenditure of millions Of dol

no evidence hat they stand for any

France. 10
One prominent grower living on the
East Side sold Yellow Newtowns Of last
years crop in car lots, in the open mar
ket Of Liverpool, at 1928 per box, 72
apples to the box. This gentleman had
1000 boxes of apples, grown on Is acres
OF trees from six to nine years old-not
yet in full bearing. From the foregoing
figures it is not difficult to see how one
can better his condition, not only in a
financial sense, but in matters Of health
and satisfaction, to say nothing of the
pleasure, for it is pleasure to see things
grow about you.
The trend of current thought among
the people these days is how to get back
to the country. This is as it should be.
The country is the place to live. Here
health and wealth awaits him who goes
to the country with the determination
to make it his home, and will employ
intelligent methods in the cultivation of
the soil. He must bear in mind that the
days of slovenly agriculture is a thing of
the Last, and he who follows it will be
left behind. Ten acres devoted to the
growing Of strawberries or the raising OF
apples will bring to the grower a greater
amount of profit than can be derived
from quarter section of land upon
which general farming is carried on, and
with less labor.

We had little accident in the mill
last Wednesday, which caused quite an
excitement for few moments. A 2x6
caught in the head block, aud as the
carriage passed back the opposite end
of the plank ran through the top saw
belt, tearing it in strips. The sawyer
stopped the carriage but had to retreat
to keep from getting struck with the
pieces of belt that struck the lever and
turned on the steam. Away went the
carriage out of the mill and plunged
into the mill pond like a big frog. Af
ter we regained our senses we found
but little damage done. In one hour
we were running smoothly again.

THE BOARD VS. THE LAW

1t is reasonable to suppose that when
the legislature of Iowa, the Governor
approving, passes any law, there'ls some
honest intent be hind it; and that the
law is in some way to subservea wise and
good purpose for the benefit and pre-
lection of the people.
1t is incumbent upon all to obey the
law, but there are those, who to the
general responsibility of good citizen
ship. have added places of control
and power, and who have taken special
oath to observe the law and to carry its
provisions into effect. The example OF
law breaking by an individual is bad
enough, butts effect is increased many
times when the offense is committed by
public officer.
The law may BE- violated through ig-
norance, through lack of knowledge.
or through intent 1t is said that gno-
rance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.
If this be true of the most common, the
most ignorant one among US. how much
less valid is the excuse of ignorance
when applied to sworn officials in dis
charge of public business under the
law?
Again, what shall we say where the
intent be proven; where it is shown
that an officer violated the law in re-
gard to his duties, with purpose, that
he connived and planned to defeat the
law?
Is not the magnitude of the otfense
raised to the nth power?
When the board in January 1902,
made an illegal allowance to the sher-
if, it may have been the result of care
lessness and ignorance. No excuse
but not necessarily done with evil in
tent.
When in succeeding months, tbs
board allowed bill after bill at an lille
gal rate, the violation was one not o
ignorance but of intent.
When the sheriff accepted paymen
under the illegal resolution it may hav
been through ignorance. NJ excuse
but not necessarily with evil inten,

when he found the resolution illegal,
he had no more right to bring in an H.
legal bill than the board had to pay ".
The boldest and most unfo"giveaole
offense of which the board has been
proven guilty by its own record is IN
the illegal purchase of real estate as
told in our last issue. The law is alb
solute, definite, plain beyond cavil or
doubt. The law says that the board
shall not purchase real estate for the
county in excess of $1,000 90, without
direct vote of the people. 1t is not only
the law, but it is a reasonable law,
made to protect, and 1t is a law that

what did the board of which Schroeder
and Molter were members, do? Did
they remember their sacred oaths? No,
it would appear from the records that
they actually planned, how best to cir
cumvent this just aud reasonable law,
and to prevent the people of this coun-
ty from exercising the right given
them of determining such an import

they argued, while.it is true the law for
