The difference in the penalty in the
federal and state courts for disobeying
an Injunction is so marked as to be
observed by the dullest individual.
The beef trust enjoined in the federal
court two years ago is as bold, defiant
and INSCRIPTIONS ia its methods as
when the injunction against it was
made decree of the United States
court. 1t has paid no fine, none has
been adjudged against and no i'm
prisonment has been inflicted upon
any member of the trust though its
conduct has been in contempt Of the
injunction every day since it was made.
In the state court a person is pro-
ceeded against by Injunction for SELL
ing beer or other intoxicants in viola
tion of the statute; persisting in the
traffic, the penal clause of the statute
is imposed with fines which takes a
mans home and unless his fine is
monthly paid his Incarceration in the
county Jail for an indefinite period
follows, and the imprisonment does
not cancel the fine imposed. Why
such leniency on the part Of federal
courts and officials and such strenu.
Gus action on the part of state courts?
s500,0OO was appropriated by congress
for use of federal officers, but the
sacred fund has scarcely been touched.

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Letson RaIIiett Will Be Tried at Des
Moines for the Third Time for
Operating an Alleged Big
Mining SwindIe.

Letson Balliett, charged with operat-
ing a gigantic mining swindle with
the use of the United States mails.
will be brought before the federal
court at Des Moines this week for ~
found guilty and fined $1,000, with, 4
sentence of one year in the peniten-
tiary. The supreme court granted a
new trial on errors.
The Balliett litigation is most re-
markable. Four years ago when the
young man who had been out of school
but a few months, was arrested, he had
the sympathy of the best people in
E4, Moines. Albert B. Cummins, the
present governor, was employed to de-
fend him. When chances seemed IA
vorable for his acquital, one of the
jurors died suddenly and the court OF
dered new trial. The case was pend
ing for year. When 1t finally came
up Balliett had lost his strongest at
torney through a political fortune
which landed Governor Cummins in
the executive chair. Judge Bishop was
employed to defend. The case was lost,
but upon appeal to the higher court
was reversed. Again politics stepped
in to rob Balliett of his strongest
prop. Judge Bishop was made SUI
preme judge of the state and could no
longer appear for his former client.
The litigation over the White Swan
mining property and the management
of the company's affairs has become
famous. Ballet is charged with hav-
ing made false representations in adj
vertising matter sent through the mail.
He cleared more than $1,000,QO0 in two
years and many Iowans were his VIC
tins. The mining. property has never
paid, although Ballet has faith in It
still and has sunk all he made trying
to develop it.

Some Residents of Webster City OBJ
ject to Construction Of Sewer.
The injunction threatened by resi-
dents of Division street to compel the
authorities of Webster City to desist
from the construction of the sewer
upon that street has not developed,
and the city officials do not believe
anything further will come from the
threat. j. g. Sullivan, sewer contrac-
tor whose bid was accepted, Is going
ahead with his preparations. The
buikheads at Boone river for the out
let for the sewer are finished and the
work on excavation for the sewer will
begin in a few days. Those who are
objectirg say they have. good legal
grounds for putting stop to the work
on account of the alleged irregular
manner in which the contract was lei.
There were three bidders for the job
and all bids were rejected by the coun-
Gil as being too high. Later the coun-
ell reconsidered it's action and reopen
ed the bids for further consideration
and the bid of j. G. Sullivan Of Web
ster City was accepted. Those who
objected to the sewer consulted an at
torney and an injunction was threat
ened If work were commenced. The
contractor has gone steadily ahead,
however, and nothing has been done
yet to stop him.

The birth of cranks, like that OF
suckers occurs each moment. One, a
reverend named High, in Indiana, has
printed on his envelopes request that
the letter be not handled on Sunday
in passing through the mail. he would
either have the whole machinery OF
mail distribution stopped on that one
day or have those handling the mail
take note Of his request and throw his
letters aside to prevent their unholy
travel on Sunday. The acting post
master general declines to accede.
tsWe could not interrupt our whole
system for one letter." he says.

The Meat Trust and the Strike.

The warning elements involved in
the great conflict between the meat
trust and its thousands of employees
is giving alarm to the republicans.
Senator Hopkins Of Illinois recently
said: II cannot see any good reason
why there should be any political
benefit to either party because of the
strike of the Chicago meat packers. !"
The senator fails to grasp the mag
nitude OF the question. That there is
beef trust is the question that will
injure the republican party. That
there is meat trust to strike against,
two years after the Injunction Of
Judge Grosscup issued against it on
the evidence furnished the court by
the United States district attorney
Chicago, is the Indictment against
Theodore Roosevelt and his admins
tration. The continued existence Of
that trust to do its robbing business
because the law is not enforced is the
quesJlon that confronts the admins
tration. After procuring an injunc-
tion the administrat ion should have
sent its law officers before the Federal
grand jury and procured indictments
under the Sherman Antitrust law.
Had that law been enforced there
would be no meat trust to strike
against. With an honest attorney
general and an earnest president be-
hind him giving his active support, 1T
would be as easy to land the members
of the Meat Trust in the penitentlary
as it is for the state authorities to
land its burglars and other criminals
behind the bars.
Senator Hopkins knows that the
memb ers of the meat trust are very
rich men, that they are making con-
tributions to republican campaign
funds, and perhaps can explain why
the law is not enforced against them
with the rigor that it is against petty
criminals.

Priest sued for Causing Death.

Suit has been brought at Garner
against Rev. Father John Broz by
Veronica Burda for $4,000 damages.
Mrs. Burda is the widow of Charles
Burda, who came to his death in a
store at Duncan several weeks ago.
On the day of Burda's death he and
Broz had been drinking together and
Broz placed bottle of carbolic acid
In the hands of Burda, who drank
some Of the contents, which caused
him to die in few minutes in great
agony. 1t is asserted that Broz knew
the contents of the bottle and Burda
did not, but whether he Intentionally
gave him the bottle of acid or thought
1t contained something else can only
be guessed. Broz says he bought the
acid to destroy vermin. He is pastor
OF the Catholic church at Garner.
