Judge Hubbard n the success, on OF
Mr.. Davis that the legal department
Of the Northwestern does not intend
to be so openly active in politics as to
invite another such cataclysri us the
one in which Mr.. Hubbard becarne in
volved.
Railroads have long dominated poll
tics In many states and while their
power lasted it may be safely assumed
the results We're satisfactory. 1T Is
commonly understood that the state of
South Dakota is as completely owned
by its railroads today as tho its consti-
tuition gave to the railroads the right
of nominating all state and county Of
ficials. Not long ago the same ,ondi-
lions prevailed in Wisconsin but there
came Il Larollette. In Iowa conditions
were not SO bad but under Blythe and
Hubbard they were very. very bal. and
then came Cummins.
The question now Is are he railroads
going to lie down and quit, or if Cum
minis and the people let up in ther vigil
are we going to see the state of Iowa
send a delegation to the next national
Mr.. Blythe as to permit him to vote
the state of Iowa against Roosevelt
and against the majority of all other
states in the union save three? When
two United States senator's or a dele
cation are not powerful enough to save
their state from such humiliation, the
question comes home to the people,
"When will the railroads cry '%eno,lgh?''
And the indications now are that a vast
multitude is preparing itself to give
them enough.
Mr.. Sewers has seen the situation
clearly. Just now continued interfer-
ence by railroads in politics is sure to
injure the roads. A public sentiment
will be aroused that will prevent a
square deal" for railroads when they
must come before court juries and 1t
will so stir up public indignation that
anti-railroad, radical, so-called granger
legislation will be the inevitable out
come. This winter railroad rate legis-
lation will be up In congress. Next
year q complete ticket of state Off
GERS is to be nominated and elected
in Iowa. How many of the Iowa rail-
road attorneys can be made to read the
handwriting on the wall as clearly as
has MI. Sewers?

THE COST or PUBLIC PRINTING.

Especially interesting at present are
some figures relating to the expen-
s~iveness of our present system of pub
lie printing given by w. s. Ressiter
In the September Atlantic. Mr.. lsossi-
ter is chief clerk Of the census bureau
and special agent Of publication and
printing for the Twelfth Census. He
tells us that at the present rate Of in
crease our printing bills, which last
year amounted to a little over seven
millions will. in 1910, aggregate the
imposing total of $4,000, 900.
The Increase in the cost Of federal
printing in recent years has been as
tonishingly rapid. In 1880 the outlay
was S2.034,750. BY 1890 it had risen to
49, 24,462. In 1900 is jumped again to
81 1905, 1851. Last year 1t reached the
record breaking total Of $1,000, SOC. The
capacity of the government office is
such, he tells us, that entire books nave
been produced on emergency in l sim
gle night. The office employs between
1000 and. $500 individuals, LOO of
whom are compositors. TIL plant it,
self is valued at &c. 0o, 900.
The work done is. of the best char
acter, but compared with similar work
to be had at outside offices, 1t costs
from "one and one-half to ten times
more,' Notwithstanding that the pri-
vate printer has the added items Of
rent, interest and profit to figure into
his prices.
Until the : public printing office
ceases to be a dumping ground for
spoilsmen and such items at $29,517
for printing 95.O62 volumes Of eulogies
on senators and representatives cease
to appear in the list of its expendi-
lures, the cost Of public printing Is
not likely to be reduced.

HANGING MURDERERs.

Governor Cummins has denied elem
ency to Busse and Smith, the two Iowa
murderers under death sentence. Re-
fusing to commute their sentences to
life Imprisonment, he has set the day
of execution we'll into next spring in
Sorder that the legislature may have
opportunity to pass upon appeals that
may be made to that body In favor OF
these two criminals. Convinced of the
Justice Of their sentences the governor
Is willing to strain a point, not, 1t is to
be inferred, thru any sympathy. for the
Justly condemned applicants for mercy,
but in order that the representatives
TOT the people may decide whether or
3not murderers shall be hanged In Iowa.
Neither Busse nor Smith need ex-
pect more from the legislature
than from the governor. Their crimes
were Of the most brutal and abandon-
ed nature. Smith, a negro of the
bestial class. killed a woman under
circumstances that offer no shadow OF
amelloration. Busse, a German farmer
IN Butler county, brutality murdered his
wife, in her own home and attempted
to burn her body. To Judge from let
tiers received at this office, the face Of
his " community ts set like flint
against clemency for HIM. The legis-
lative hearing, il these cases ever come
before the legislature, is not likely to
their trials before Judge and jury.
Aside from the question Of the
righteousness Of capital punishment,
under the laws OF this state murderers
may be hanged. There is a very re-
1spectable number Of conscientious per-
" sons who believe they ought to be
hanged. II the law Is tnrighteous Il
should be repealed. It is carrying JUS
tice to the point of unwieldiness to
make the legislature the court OF ,ast
resort for condemned murderers. II
the law IL Just its sentences shou'1 be
executed quietly and promptly. We
make too much fuss over our condemn
ed criminals. Such blutes as Smith
and Busse deserve small consideration
once their guilt has beer proven. The
cases is that Of the attitude OF the
state OF Iowa toward the sscatfola FIR
murderers.

LIGHT COMES TO AN ATTORNEY.

George Sewers, who is now general
attorney for the Hawley system of rail-
ways, comprising the Iowa Central,
Minneapolis & ST. Louis and Dcs
Moines and TT. Dodge lines, has de-
clared in a public interview that his
roads would keep out Of politics, saying
II am confident that the interests of
the railroads suffer rather than profit
by their interference in the politics Of
the state"
Mr.. Sewers has not always been
consistent in this policy but to a large
degree he has kept his roads out Of
politics. However, what he says is so
true that the wonder is other railroad
attorneys have been so slow finding 1t
out. Several years ago, or at the time
pf the republican party's revolt
against railroad domination of Blythe
and Hubbard, which resulted in the
nomination Of Cummins and the pres
ont executive council, the T.-R. began
preaching this doctrine to railway at
Gemeys. It is a matter of encourage
uent that Mr.. Sewers feels justified i'll
procaiming the same truths. 1t has
been very evident since the death OF

Heavy draft horses are not being
raised in this or any other country
as fast as they are being used up.
Does altitude give horses superior
lung power or better heart room:
Prof. Carlyle and Gene Grubb, of Colo

Do YOU know that we are not breed
ing enough mules in his country and
that mule raising is a very profitable
business if you go at it right?
Heavier, and yet heavier, horses are
called for by reason of the scarcity OF
farm help and the increase in h size

Strange that the enormous increase
