strain it from issuing the state census
of Iowa for 1905. Temperance forces
at Atlantic, in Cass county, have
brought the suit Notice was served
recently and accepted, on Treasurer Of
State Gilbertson and Auditor of State
Carroll, and notices were served on
Gov. Cummins and Secretary of State
Martin.
The plaintiffs are represented by
James B. Bruff and Julian Phelps, who
were here. and personally served the
notices at the statehouse. 1t is asked
OF the court that names which are not
properly included in the census Of At
lantic be stricken from the returns by
the assessor to the executive council;
that if it cannot be corrected that the
census as taken be wholly set aside;
that the executive council be enioined
from including the inaccurate census
of Atlantic in the forthcoming CEN
sus publication, and that If it be in
cluded it be held to be of no validity
and effect under the section of the stat
ute which makes the published census
the legal criterion of the population of
the cities and counties included. 1T Is
understood to be charged by the tenn
perance people that the census EMU
merator included in the list of per-
sons used to make the census of At
lantic about 5000 the names of dead
persons and persons who have removed
from the city.

THE Chinese boycott has been the
greatest commercial disaster America
ever suffered. II all the other ma
tons of the earth closed their doors
to American goods it would not be as
bad as Chinese exclusion alone.
The American people are fools,
vainglcriously patting themselves on
the back over the so-called American
invasion of European and oriental
markets while other countries that
say nothing have practically monopo-
lized the trade. As long as the people
want politicians to make laws detri-
