Judge shiras Calls Chicago Board 9
Trade Illegal.

Dubuque, Sept. 25-Judge Shiras
has written an opinion for the Uni
ted States court of appeals in the
case of the Christie Grain and Stock
company, appellant, VS.. the Board of
Trade of Chicago, appellee, reversing
the decision of the federal court of
Missouri and remanding the case to
that court with instructions
to dismiss the bill at the complain
ants cost. The Board of Trade secur-
ed an injunction in the lower court
against the Christie company restrain
ing it from obtaining from the tele-
graph companies any quotations fur
nished by the Board of Trade, alleg-
ing the quotations were private prop
erty and could not be furnished upon
the contract. The testimony develop
ed that five per cent of the transac-
tons OF the board was gambling on
margains and that by the admission
OF the board it was shown it maintain
ed bucket shops. On this evidence
the appellate courts hold the board
did not come into court with clean
hands or for a lawful purpose, and
clearly it was not the duty of a court
of equity to grant any relief prayer
by it. that it's transactions were in
violation of a statute of Illinois and
therefore unlawful.

majority of the army drink-that
the habit of drink cannot be changed
by all the laws of all the legislators
in the land
Truly, the habit of drink is stronger
than death! You say that, after the
most exacting examinations, the moral
perverts and physical degenerates are
excluded from the army, still a large
portion want to drink beer and in or
der that they have it, it is recon-
mended that the government furnish
the canteen saloon to accompany the
army so that the drink habitues may
have their beer without going to the
low dives to get it.
Now, is it not true that the low
dives are the direct product of the
beer drinking habit-that the boy
never becomes a moral degenerate"
not At for the army until he has grad
uated in beer drinking in decent and
congenial surroundings" These pri-
mary schools and promoters of the
drink habit, high or low the govern
ment is asked to furnish, because the
army beer drinker is not ready to
go to the low dive just yet, for his
drink
knew a family that had three boys.
Through the influence of home life
these boys had escaped the allurements
of the "Anhueser Busch" promoters of
beer drinking that were strewn in their
path on every hand. Their father gave
one son to the service of his country
in the Spanish war. who had never
known drink, but he was presented
with a social canteen drink in the ar
my, which ripened into a drink habit
which proved to be more destructive
to the happiness of that family, than
any Spanish bullet could have done.
1t was pitiful to see the poignant grief
of those parents. The government
they had loved and trusted, and 10y
ally defended had promoted and fas-
tended this drink habit on their son,
worse than any death that could have
come to him by the enemy.
Can we, consistently, urge further
facilities and promotion of the drink
curse that all are ready to admit. is
both the direct and indirect cause of
more misery, poverty and heartbreaks
than any other curse humanity has to
deal with?
The daily press has become daily
epitome of crimes. murders and
! wretchedness, caused. in one way and
another, by drink. In these strenu-
GUS times of commercialism when all
interests are striving to head the pro-
cession and the promoters of this evil
seem to be in the lead. shall We sit
still and let our government add to
| the evil, rather than do the greatest
good to the greatest number?

In North Dakota.

Editor Courier
Having seen an article on South Da.
kota, / thought would give a short
talk on North Dakota, as l recently
visited that state. l spent most of my
time in Stutsman county, where quite
a colony of Iowa people live, and l was
well pleased with the country
The country is one vast prairie, some
of which is quite level, other parts
more undulating, some quite rolling
and some rough, but all more or less
productive. While the rough country
is now used for grazing purposes, the
time is not far distant when it will all
be under cultivation.
One of the bug bears of this northern
country is the numerous rocks which
cover the ground, but these are very
useful for building and other purposes
and are now in demand, at fair price,
in the many small towns throughout
the state. Gopher squirrels are anoth-
er menace to the country, but these are
easily poisoned and will in few years
be extinct. One can insure against the
hail storms that frequently occur dur.
ing the summer months.
Every part of the country has its
drawbacks and the above mentioned
are the greatest in North Dakota. Not
withstanding this country gives every
promise of becoming one of the best in
the United States and no doubt will in
a comparatively short time, almost, if
not quite, equal good old Iowa.

MISS MARY M'ELRoY LEAVES
NEW YoRktY. w. c. A. IN
NOVEMBER.
Former ottumwa Young Woman Aft.
err Eleven Years With Harlem
Branch Association Resigns Has
Been Chosen for Important Station.

After twelve years as gen
eral secretary of the Harlem
branch of the Young Won
ems Christian association, Miss Mary
McElroy, formerly of this city, has re
signed her position to take the general
of the Y. w. G. A. at
Bombay, India. Miss McElroy is the
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Noel
roy of this city. She has by her un
firing work for the association become
recognized as one of the most sue
cessful workers in the Y. w. G. A
field. In the weekly bulletin of the
Harlem branch association issued this
week the news of Miss McElroy's res.
ignation is given and the heartfelt re
greet with which the news was receiv.
ed is told. The article in the associa.
ton paper is as follows:
A Resignation.
ut will come as shock to all mem.
bers of the association to learn that
Miss McElroy asked the board of man.
agement last Friday to accept her res
ignation as general secretary, to take
effect, if possible, by the middle OF
November.
Miss McElroy takes this step after
mature consideration in order to &C
cept a very urgent call to the secre-
taryship of the Y. w. c. A. in Bombay
India. That important association
reaching thousands of Indian and Eur
opean working girls, and with an
equipment equal almost to ours in Har.
lem, has been hampered for years by
the lack of a trained worker Miss
McElroy, by reason of her splendid
work in the Harlem association, which
in less than twelve years she has es-
tablished on it's present footing, stands
among the leaders of the Y. w. G. A.
movement in the world, and as such
she is chosen for this difficult and i'm.
portant post.
while sensible of the honor shown
to our general secretary, and the wild
er opportunities before her, we cannot
at first rise above the feeling of per-
sonal loss What Miss McElroy has
been to hundreds of young women in
Harlem in the past years only their
own hearts can tell. The imprint of
her work will remain on the associa-
ton, as her influence will continue to
be felt in the lives of those who have
come into touch with her strong per.
suasive personality; and into whatev-
er field she may go, the ties which
have bound her to us will never be
wholly sundered."

The state central committee thus en-
dorses the clubs project:
ITO the republicans of Iowa: The Vet
eran Tippecanoe club will present a
magnificent banner to the county that
makes on November the largest pro-
portionate gain as compared with the
republican vote Of 1900, and fine silk
flag to the county making the best abb
solute gain over the republican vote
of 1900. The banner is now held by
Monroe county and the flag by Jasper
county.
Every county in the state stands an
equal chance of securing the banner
or the flag. The former lis given to
the county making the best proposition
ate gain and the latter to the county
making the best absolute gain. A dem
ocratic county can win as well as a
republican county. and the getting out
of the republican vote is what will de-
eide the question. Let the republic
cans in each and every county exert
themselves to win either the banner
or the flag September 4, 1903.
