"But that may not be the lineup at
the finish" he added. I'm fact 1t is
now morally certain that Dolliver will
be on the side of the people in this
fight. Nobobdy knows what Allison
will do. At present Haugen is dis
posed to go with the Hepburn crowd,
but he is not committed absolutely.
But at best Iowa will have divided
delegation if vote is ever secured"
In this connection remark of ex-
Governor Larrabee recently made Is to
the point. II was talking with Gov
ernor Van SAINT, of Minnesota" he said
land the governor remarked to me
that while formerly he held to the belief
that it was a good thing for a state
to keep it's congressman In office q
long time, he had become convinced
that this was not the proper policy
for the men soon get out of touch with
the people. New men direct from the
ranks are more likely to know what the
people want. have become convinced
that this is true and that we are max
ing a mistake in keeping some of our
congressman so long at washington
that they do not know what the people
want at home.''
The supreme court gave some COM
fort to the people who insist on
strict enforcement Of the liquor laws
Of the state by reversing Judge Quar-
ton on matter Of an application for a
permit by a druggist in Kossuth coun-
ty. 1t appears that the permit was
granted. but that, as a matter Of fact,
the druggist had had permit before
and after an action was commenced to
have it revoked he had surrendered 1t.
TT is true" said the supreme court,
"there was no formal revocation of the
permit which he had shortly before
held. but the fact that he surrendered
1t under pressure after an action for
it's revocation had been instituted,
should have been sufficient ground for
denying this application, especially in
view of the fact that there was no at
tempt upon his part to prove that his
pharmacy had been conducted in a
lawful manner as far as the sale Of in
toxicating liquors was concerned. In
fact his own testimony was practically
an admission that he had been unable
so to conduct it. We are also in
clined to the opinion that the surrender
of his permit under the circumstances
shown amounted, in effect, to a revo-
cation thereof within the meaning of
the statute. and that he should have
alleged and proven that he had not
knowingly been engaged in. the unlaw-
full sale of liquor within the last two
years next before making applica-
tion."

strances will do after he has turned his
back on the polls and has been declared
elected. And why not? You can't
blame him. If you don't care enough
about what he thinks about the city adj
ministration to ask him and to assure
him beforehand that you will expect
him to do good work if elected, you can
hardly blame him if after election he
tells you that he doesn't know as he
owes his election to you and that he
will do as he pleases in the matter; that
if you didn't care enough about the mat
ter to find out before election he doesn't
know that what you care now is of
enough importance to worry him any.
And what's more, from his point of view
about that time he will not be as far
from right as some other well meaning,
but much deluded people. At all events
don't you think it would be good plan
if the people would electioneer a little
between now and the 4th of April?
