Senator Clapp's political managers
had claimed for the past week that
they would not have less than 120 Re-

IOWA Is LOSER HERE
National Supreme Court Re-
verses Prohibition Decisions

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3.-The
supreme court of the United States
today reversed the decision of the SUI.
preme court. Of Iowa in two cases In
volving the construction of the Iowa
prohibitory liquor law, the opinion in
each case being by Justice White. III
the first case, that of the American
Express Company vs.. The State of
Iowa, the state authorities seized Ger
tain packages of liquor sent C. o. D.
from Rock Island, Ill.,, to Tama, Iowa,
and their destruction was ordered. The
supreme. court of Iowa sustained this
proceeding, but the Judgment was to-,
day reversed on the ground that it is
i'm contrayention of the Interstate
commerce clause of the federal consti-
tuition.
The other case was that of the
Adams Express Company VS.. The
State of Iowa and involved practically
the same question as the American

Northern Securities DIstrlbu-
ton Plan IS Upheld by the
United States Court Of Ap.
peaIs. Third District, Which
DlssoIves the Inluactlon See
cured by Hartman

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 3.@The
United States court Of appeals for the
Third judicial district in an opinion
filed here today, reverses a decision of
>the New Jersey circuit court, which
restrained the Northern Securities com
pany from distributing certain stock
of the Northern Pacific. The decision
is defeat for the interests represented
by E. II. Hartman.
In decree Of the New Jersey court,
the Northern Securities company was
restrained from disposing of $40, ,230
shares of the common stock of the
Northern Pacific Railway company, al
legged to have been received from E. II.
Hartman and Winslow S. Pierce and
of $4,000 shares Of the common stock
of the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany received by the Northern Securi-
ties company from the Northern Pa
cif1c company. Today's decision, how
ever, gives the Northern Securities
company the right to dispose of the
stock. Hartman and Pierce, when the
Northern Securities company had been
declared by the United States supreme
court to be an illegal combination. de-
manded the return Of the original stock
they had contributed at the time Of the
organization of the combination. The
Northern Securities company, it was
claimed, intended to make a pro rata
distribution of the stock of the con-
tributing company.
Gist Of the Decision
The opinion was written by Judge
Dallas. After reviewing the organiza-
tion of the combination and its subse-
quent history, the decision says:
Hartman averred that the shares of
railway stock in question were acuuir-
ed by the securities company; that it
would hold them as custodian, deposi-
tory. trustee, and owners of said shares
were the parties who originally ex
changed the same for stock In the
Northern Securities company. The
N0rthern Securities company claimed
that it acquired the stock by purchase
and that 1t owns the stock outright"

which the stock was acquired, the

JOKE YIELDS OFFICE
Astonishing Result of One
Washington County Vote
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
SALTWATER. Mimi, Jan. 3.-At
the primaries and general election held
last fall no candidate filed for the Office
of court commissioner, which was al
lowed to go by default because the
fees amount to little. A. E. Doe has
held the office for several years, and
it was generally believed that he would
continue until his successor was elect
ed and qualified and that he would
have at least another term. 1t appears,
however, from the returns that some
one in the town of Cottage Grove,
either as joke or by intent, voted for
Orris E. Lee, of Saltwater, for court
commissioner, and Mr.. Lee having re-
ceived the one vote. the only vote cast
for the office, he today qualified at the
court house and succeeds Mr.. Doe. For
several years the fees of the office have
scarcely been equivalent to the fling
fees Of the primary and general cleo
ton.

and to accept therefor the railway

is issued; but the decree, in SO far as it
was mandatory, went no further than
to prohibit the doing of the specific
things which, being done, would affect
the result denounced by the act
1903, U. S. 356.
This was all that was requisite and
it was accomplished by that part of the
decree which has been already quoted:
and the added clause, though apparent
ly suggested by the prayer of the bill
to which it referred, was obviously not
intended to have any obligatory effect
1t was permissive merely, and this
plainly appears from it's terms that it
is necessary only to direct attention to
them. They are:
Merely Permissive

he another under way His en-
ergies require constant opportunity
for exercise. He is not one Of those
wood sawyers who rejoice in seeing
the pile diminish: he worries. rather,
lest he may run out of something to
work on.
So, to make sure that with rail-
road rate legislation, corporation reg

The President is going 20 take little
flyer in diplomacy again. He pro-
poses to send Secretary Root to South
America 10 assure the Latin-Ameri-
can states that the United States is
their best friend and deserving OF
their utmost confidence and esteem.
1t is an undertaking which involves
the utmost tact, and which contains
the possibilities of the most import
ant results for this country. Our
relations with South America are de-
cidedly not satisfactory. Uncle sam
has spread the sheltering mantle of
his power over these Southern States
and assured them that they will not
be interfered with so long as they
behave themselves; but instead Of
appreciating it as a piece of disin-
terested friendship. the South Ameri-
cans have been disposed to consider
It none Of our business to interfere
in their affairs. and 10 resent what
they eonstrue 10 be a certain assump-
ton Of guardianship.
Our commerce with South America
IS not what it should be, and probably
It viii not be until these political

is to this task that the President
and his able Secretary of State are
addressing themselves. They will

our power; but the settlement of the
great issue between Japan and Rus
sia did more. It convinced these
doubting states of our real interna-
tional standing and respectability.
which South America has not always
been quite willing to coneede.
The time is auspicious for under
taking this appeal for a better un-
derstanding with the minor republics
of the Americas. Doubtless it will
be a success; for the President has
a good case, is sending a strong and
skillful man to present it. and will
back that presentation with his own
great international prestige. All that
is needed is a proper understanding
to bring the Americans closer together.
The President has brought that
understanding nearer than it ever
was before.
