JUDGE pARKER's MISFORTUNE.

An extract from a private letter.
written by an authority on corporation
law, whose identity is suppressed but
who is vouched for by Golfers mag
axiue as one unsurpassed in the
world" is printed by that magazine
ls decisive Of the dispute between MIR.
Parker and President Roosevelt on the
relation OF trusts to law. Mr.. Parker
it will be remembered, asserts that the
common law is sufficient, and MI.
Roosevelt disputed his position Then
Mr.. Parker quoted another authority
and the democratic press told the rank
and file Of the party that Mr.. Parker
had effectually equelched Roosevelt.
The opinion of the great authority
IN corporation law as printed in Col
liers'. a politically Independent publi-
cation, with democratic tendencies,
which challenges any lawyer of repu-
tation to dispute 1t is as follows:
81 have looked over the case OF Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company vs.
Call Publishing Company, ISL, U. 81
80, referred to by Judge Parker in his
letter of acceptance. The case was a
civil suit against the telegraph COM
psany to recover damages on account
OF excessive charges which 1T was
claimed had been made by the tele-
graph company. The court held, In
substance, that when the circuit courts
of the United States have jurisdiction
of case, they will enforce the princ1-
pies Of the common law applicable to
that case, and that the principles OF
the common law are operative upon all
interstate commercial transactions eX-
cept SO far as modified by congress
sional enactment. / think this was the
settled law before this decision was
rendered The jurisdiction of the
United States courts in civil cases is
O. very limited one. 1t exists only in
certain classes of cases, such as those
& in which federal question is involv-
ed, and the United States courts have
no jurisdiction in criminal cases ex-
cept under acts of congress. The Unit
ed States department of justice GER
tainly has no power to proceed against
trusts or other combinations and to
suppress them merely because they
may be illegal under the common law.
Such a proceeding can be sustained
only when authorized by some consti-
tutional act of congress. ] think that
President Roosevelt intended to ex-
press this and no more"
If Judge Parkers public utterances
have made anything plain it is his
own hopeless smediocity. Parker as the
silent man left, much to the imagina-
ton Many men have gained repute
for thoughtfulness and deep knowledge
simply by keeping close mouth.
While Mr.. Parker has not become
garrulous since his nomination, he has
said enough to definitely settle his
status as a very common man, and to
prove himself deficient as a lawyer
and utterly lacking in the qualities that
go to make statesmen.
There are two impressions to be gain
ed from Judge Parker's statements. TIe
is either tricky or incompetent. Com
pared with Roosevelt, he is a sorry
exhibition. He should have kept on

fortune

THE GROWTH OF vEGETARlANIsm.

Basing his argument on statistics
drawn from the latest census a writer
In one of the current magazines con-
cludes that Americans are becoming a
nation Of vegetarians. His deductions
are interesting. He finds that in dol
lars and cents our meat diet has de-
creased about So per cent. Every 100
Americans In 1850 consumed 81 sheep,
and child; in 1900 the consumption had
been reduced to so sheep to every 100
PERSONS reduction Of almost half.
More remarkable still has been our
turning from pork; lis hogs to every
100 persons in 1S50-more than one
hog for each man, woman and child
eaters Of beef, however, tho here, too,
there is a reduction of 20 per cent
from Is beeves to 100 persons in 1850
to 20 beeves in 1900.
In milk, butter, cheese, eggs and
poultry there are mostly large in.
creases. For example: In 1880, the
supply Of eggs was 900 dozen for each
100 persons, and in 1900 it reached
LOO dozen. In the same period the
supply Of dairy products increased by
more than threefold. The only dairy
product showing a decrease is cheese:
Fifty years ago each person ate AZ
pounds annually; in 1900 the amount
had dropped to one-half pound. In
consumption Of wheat products
the increase is also marked one. In
1850 Americans consumed 400 bushels
Of wheat for each 100 persons: in 1900.
623 bushels very marked rise. Corn
and potatoes give very similar percen-
tages OF increase. Oats jumped from
80 bushels consumed by each 100 in
1850 to 1856 in 1890 and had fallen off
to s61 bushels In 1900, probably thru
the substitution Of the various break
fast foods.
Over against this increase In the
foods q loss Is noted in some of the
minor vegetables. Sweet potatoes drop
from over bushel and half per each
person III 1850 to about a half bushel in
1900. Rye, bGckwheat, beans and peas
taken together drsp from nearly a
bushel end q hsis>to about two thirds

THE AMENDMENTS
TSac Sun.1

It is a matter Of simple justice to
the smaller counties that the proposed
amendment to the constitution provid
ing for representative from every
county be adopted The people Of
Sac county may not be affected by al
lowing the amendment to be defeated,
vet it is not certain that some future
legislature would not tack Ida county
onto Sac for representative district.
The vote for the change In the num-
Der of representatives should be unani-
nous in Sac county. The
adoption of the proposed amendment to
the state constitution providing for
elections once in two years instead of
every year will save q great deal OF
money and time and save the commun-
ity from the annoyance incident to
caucuses, primaries, canvasses and
general elections one year out of two
It is not expected that the professional
politician will take kindly to this pro-
position, but it is hard to see how many
others can do differently. That the Sun
will be resigned to the defeat of the
amendment from its own standpoint is
evident to any person who considers
the amount of extra printing that the
election affords the newspaper.

rDows Advocate.

IDOWS Advocate.
A street fakir did a good business
from a wagon on the street last Sat-
urday afternoon. In the evening he
opened up and began selling goods.
Some prankish boys-or men-brought
a sudden stop to his sale in the fol-
lowing manner: A two or three hun
bred foot rope was surrepticiously
fastended to the tongue Of the wagon,
with eight or ten persons on the other
end. All at once the wagon, goods and
fakir began to move off down Garfield
street at a rapid gait. Goods Of all
kinds were scattered along the
street and the small boys got IN their
work. The wagon was stopped about
a block south Of the lower livery barn.
The fakir gathered up his goods, lock-
ed up his trunks and left on the y
o'clock train, swearing softly to him
self, and evidently glad to escape.
Fakirs Of his class will probably give
this town wide berth hereafter, ana
1t would be well If 1t should be So.

Senator Crane.


The selection Of Governor Bates OF
Massachusetts, of Ex-Governor Crane
to succeed Mr.. Hoar in the senate will
be generally and heartily commended.
Mr. Cranes reputation for ability.
probity and wisdom is not confined to
the state of Massachusetts. Few men
in the country who have not held ma
tional office have so wide and SO en-
viable fame as he has, or have won it
with such unvaryng modesty of de-
meanor, both in private and official
life.
He will bring into the senate quite
different qualities in some respects
from those possessed by Senator Hoar
He is not an orator. speaking always
with reluctance and very briefly. AS
counselor however, he has few equals,
and as an authority upon financial
and commercial matters, his advice will
be of high value. To no one will his
presence in Washington be more well
come than to President Roosevelt, who
has made it practice to consult him
in matters Of large Importance and
has ranked his advice second to that
of no one else. 1t is no secret that
Governor Crane had more to do with
convincing the president that he should
intervene in the anthracite coal strike
of 1902 than any other single person,
chiefly because of his established re-
pute for conservatism of judgment.
The president felt that If Governor
Crane believed that public welfare and
safety demanded his Intervention there
could be no question Of his duty in the
matter.
Philadelphia Press: Ex-Governor
Cranes appointment to the senate to
succeed the late Senator Hoar ought to
be very satisfactory to the president,
who entertains high opinion of Mr..
Cranes abilities. A cabinet office was
declined by Mr.. Crane. He is not an
orator, but is man of sound judg-
ment, is. familiar with national polt-
tics, and has had wide experience IN
business. and can be Of great useful
ness to New England. He was one OF
the best governors Massachusetts ever
had, and will be an honor to the state

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
Eagle Grove Eagle.1

The opposition to biennial elections
is simply old fogyisan and the selfish
interests of the professional politician.
The voter is bounded every year to get
out and vote, importuned by the office
seeker, bored by the ward heller. No
wonder he becomes Indifferent and has
to be hauled by violence to the polls.
There is too much of 1t, 1t comes too
often. Give him every other year off
and he will need no urging to go to
the polls. With the endless Irritation
of perpetual unremitting politics he
becomes cloyed and says away from
the polls. Give him a years inter-
mission and healthy interest will
bring him to the polls.

Accuser Pleaded For rri.oner.

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 11--Albert T. Du Barry. an employee of a lodging house here, caused the arrest of Lobie Schmidt, aged nineteen, for stealing an umbrella and cane. When Schmidt was arraigned Du Barry, fearful and in voice choked with emotion, plead ed for the release of the young man. Every one concerned was surprised un- til Du Barry exclaimed, 1T have learn ed that Schmidt is a grandson of the man who, forty seven years ago, in 1857, when had just arrived in this country and was penniless, Respondent and without prospect of getting work, gave me money, a job and encourage ment." Judge Sweeney and others were much affected by Du Barry's earnestly told story, and young Schmidt was dis charged from custody. He and Du Barry walked from the courtroom arm in arm
