Slavery in it's greatest days was
never so securely intrenched in polit-
ical power in this country as are the
trusts of the present day."
Already the attorney general has
sent up the white flag and given all
to understand that he has no hopes of

Not every man man in the repub-

The republican party in Iowa, lead by
Governor Cummins for two years,
adopted platform declaring against
trusts. By reason of his position as
governor, he will be permitted to go
to the national convention. But he
will be handcuffed and shackled and
safely guarded by Allison, Dolliver
and Blythe, lest he raise his voice
against his master"

"Our honored governor tells us that
only dead men stand pat II that is
true, what a great valley of dry bones
the republican party must have be-
come"
when our senior senator first en-
tered congress and raised his voice
against the high rates, he was at once
black-listed; no further promotion
was allowed him, and from that day
to this his thrift has only followed his
fawnings"
Secretary Blaine became a discred-
tied republican statesman from the
moment he proposed a freer trade
with the South American republics"
Tariff rates fixed by the early ad-
vocates of the system were fixed so
as to cover the differences of labor in
America and Europe. Now they are
arranged to satisfy insatiate greed"
1T was an ill-omened day for US and
our country when the national con-

of L. e. Fay, editor of the Clinton
Advertiser, for $1,000 worth Of dia-

his brother, G. A. Fay of Clinton on
November 2, 1902, was brought to an
end yesterday by the return of the

ha gambling king, in connection with
the noted Pollock diamond robbery in
1892
The diamonds were recovered
through Fred Bunting, former Coun.
Gil Bluffs saloon keeper and reputed
fence" for the burglar gang. Bunt.
ing was recently indicted at Clinton
for receiving stolen property. He
told Fay that he knew about the
course of stolen goods in Iowa and
agreed to get Fay's diamonds If the
editor would cause the dismissal of
the charge against him. The evidence
against Bunting is not conclusive
and as his conviction was uncertain
his terms were accepted. Bunting
made good his promise yesterday and
the jewelry was handed to Sheriff
Canning.
Through Bunting Fay learned that
Barry Bernstein, an Omaha pawn.
broker, had received the diamonds
stolen and sold them. Fay and Bern
stein held a meeting on the Omaha
Council Bluffs bridge last Tuesday,
and the latter was told that he would
have to produce the stones. He asked
time, and after going back to Omaha
and consulting Dennison he hunted
up the purchasers and bought the
diamonds back, paying $500 more
than he had sold them for.

TECHNICALLY NO
APPEAL GROUND
Iowa Bar Association Will
I So Argue at
OttumWa.
APPEAL TO THE LEGISLATURE
insignificant Errors Should Not Base
Action-Would Also Favor Expert
Testimony Called BY Court Rather
Than BY Interested Litigants.

Des Moines, May 9.--Technlcaliues
as a basis for judicial decisions in
Iowa will be thing Of the past il the
recommendations of the committee on
law reform of the State Bar associa-
tion are approved by that organization
and the legislature.
1t was disclosed yesterday that the
committee had voted to recommend to
the association that 1t press legisla-
ton of this character upon the next
assembly. Lawyers who have discuss.
ed the matter highly endorse the prop
osition. However, Col. Charles A.
Clark of Cedar Rapids, a member or
the law reform committee, does not
agree with his associates on the rec
ommendation, and will oppose it in the
convention which will be held in Of
tumwa, July IA and Is.
In full, the recommendation of the
committee is as follows:
That a statute be enacted direct
ing the supreme court not to reverse
any case, civil or criminal because of
any technical error unless the record
discloses that such error might have
changed the judgment of the trial
court"
L. G. Kline of the state board of
control, is chairman of the committee,
and Congressman Wade, H. NJ. Rem
ley, ]. H. Henderson, e. S. Huston, c.
A. Clark and H. M. Towner are the
other members. These names indl-
cate the high character of the recon-
mendations and signify their import
ance to the lawyers of the state.
Messrs. Remley and Towner are dis
trict judges, Mr.. Kline, Mr.. Wade and
Mr.. Henderson have been district
Judges, and Mr.. Kline has himself
been member of the supreme court.
Another very important recommen-
dation by the law reform committee
Is that the judges of the courts select
and summon expert witnesses, instead
of the litigants. Judge Kline, the
chairman of the reform committee,
several years ago presented a paper
before the bar association on this sub
ject and in which he showed the fulfil
ity Of trying to sustain a contention by
expert testimony under present cir
cumstances when the litigants may
summon their own experts for hire
which is legitimate, and which should
not be countenanced by the law.
