An item has been floating around
among Iowa newspapers claiming that
the supreme court of Missouri had de-
cided that osteopaths were not recog-
nized by the courts of that state. This
is an error. The report originated from
a decision in the Missouri supreme
court in case where an action was
brought against DR.. C. E. Still, of Kinks
vile for malpractice. When the case
was decided in the lower court the
jury were instructed to return ver-
dict in favor of DIR. Still. The plaintiff
appealed the case to the supreme court,
claiming that the court erred in permit
ting doctors of one school to testify as
to the methods of other schools with
which they were not familiar, and the
supreme court granted a new trial in
the case. The osteopaths are regularly
recognized in the state of Missouri by
the highest courts of that state,

The Iowa license law which provides
for the taxing of peddlers was declared
unconstitutional by Judge Platt, of
Waterloo, yesterday and the case will
be carried to the supreme court. The
case was that of Cedar Falls VS.. w. A..
Gentzier, an agent for an outside tea
house. The court held that to tax a
peddleir for selling goods shipped in
from Chicago was an interference with
inter state commerce. Further, the
court held that Gentzier was an agent
and not merchant. The decision will
be far reaching in effects as it will be
OF considerable benefit to the foreign
firms shipping goods into the state in
competition with Iowa merchants.

call it whisky.

GOV. HOCH's THANKFULNEss.

In enumerating the blessings for
which Kansas has reason to be thank
full this year Governor Hoch, in his
Thanksgiving proclamation, mentions
our bountiful crops and general pros
peritys as usual, and then continues:
But, best of all, in it's higher realms,
the realm of the conscience and char
science and character, the state has
kept pace with its material progress"
Perhaps from his high pedestal as
chief executive of the state Governor
Hoch can clearly see the great ad-
vancement which Kansas has made in
the realm Of the conscience and char
acter, but to the IowIy citizen it ap-
pears "as through a glass darkly."
When such unblushing violations
Of law can be committed and go unpun-
ished as have happened in Kansas dur
ing the past year there is room for
doubt whether kansas-or her officials
at least-has made any great progress
in the realm of conscience.
A year ago Kansas re-elected-under
protest, to be sure-a state treasurer
charged with gross violations Of his
trust. 1t was understood that the gov
ernor, in whom the state had great
confidence, would speedily push a. rigid
investigation to ascertain the truth Of
the charges and would keep any further
wrongs from being committed. That
state treasurer has served nearly half
of his new term, and still no report has
been made concerning him.
There are rumors that a 'whitewash'
is being framed. In the meantime he
has been continuing his illegal actions,
depositing large sums of the states
money directly contrary to law, so that
it could be loaned to his friend. He
unlawfully took two thousand dollars
from the treasury under false pretenses
and put it back only when caught with
the goods.
These wrongs have been committed
right under Governor Hoch's nose, yet
he has done nothing about it. VIII the
governor please point out wherein Kan
sas has made such great progress ''in
the realms Of mind and heart, of con
science and character that the rest of
us may be thankful also?
