Martin Ansel Against the Dispenary.

The Pickens Sentinel-J ournal, speak
ing of the dispensary, says: "Should the
people rise up in their might they could
wipe it out. All the State needs is to see
that the counties, singly, are determined
to remove it from their borders, then it
will go. How do you propose to recon
cile your conscience by voting to keep a
dispensary in Piokens, yet next year you
will vote for Martin F. Ansel for Cover
nor and his platform is anti-dispensary
He will get lots of votes in this town and
county out of men who are now working
their hardest to keep this rum shop in
our borders."

CIVIL CODE OF PANAMA.
Translation Issued by Gov. Magoon Of
the Canal Zone

Under the direction of Judge Charles E.
Magoon, governor of the Panama canal
zone, there has been made and issued a
complete translation of ''the civil code of
the republic of Panama and amendatory
laws" which have been confined in force
in the canal zone by executive order of May
O. 1904. 1t Is the first civil code of a Latin
American country that has ever been trans
lated into English with the exceptions Of
those of Cuba and Porto Rico, which. how
ever, used the laws of the Spanish penin-
sula almost in their entirety up to 1893.
1t is much fuller than the French civil
code, and makes a volume of nearly six
hundred pages, supplemented by a COM
plete index of over ninety pages. The
translation has been made by Frank L.
Joannini the chief translator attached to
the bureau of insular affairs, who says in
a brief Introductory note: AN effort has
as possible and in some cases the transla-
tor may be accused Of sacrificing what
may be called good English for fidelity to
the original text He has been constantly
on his guard against making an interpreta-
ton of law instead of translation"
The work will be of inestimable value to
lawyers interested in South American law,
especially that of Panama and Colombia.
1t contains short historical Introduction
regarding the origin and vicissitudes of the
Colombian civil code, which was adopted by
Panama.

PUBLISHERS FOUND GUILTY.
Firm in Chicago Charged With Circu-
lating Improper Literature.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Judge S. H. Bethea
In the federal court. has directed a verdict
of guilty against DR.. Alice b. Stockham,
seventy-one years old, and Edward b.
Beckwith. manager of the Stockham Pub
fishing Company, charged with circulating
improper literature by the mails and ex-
press. In deciding the case Judge Bethea
said:
When the laws were framed 1t was nor
believed the general discussion of the mar
riage relation was advisable. If the per-
sons believe they are right In teaching the
subjects so that the young may learn OF
them they should have their doctrines in
terwover In the laws of the land What
We have to do is to uphold the law as II
stands"
Among the witnesses for the defense was
the Rev. DR. Hiram w. Thomas Dr.
Thomas testified that he believed the wo-
mans work was uplifting instead of harm
ful even TO the young, and that Mrs. Stock
ham has for years been doing a work
which Is to be commended and not scoffed
at.
1t was asserted by Dr. Stockham and her
witnesses that she has been in the publish
ing business several years and never had
been questioned by the government in re-
gard to mailing what she said was medi-
cal advice She declared she received hun
dreds of letters from persons who read her
books thanking her for helping them

SHEA STILL DEFIANT.
Charged His Arrest and Imprisonment
to Scheme

President Shea of the teamsters' union
charged today that his arrest and impris-
onment for two hours last night was for
the purpose of preventing his attendance
at council meeting of the strikers But
my friends fooled them," he said.
Shea declared that the strike would go
on He asserted that If any teamsters'
leaders wanted to make a ''dishonorable
settlement they dared not show their
heads In the open, for the reason accord
ing to Shea, that the rank and file of the
teamsters are against any surrender
The union leaders say there is no chance
of the team owners forcing a walkout. The
strike leaders assert that thousands of
small bushes men who. 1t is claimed. are
profiting by the strike will prevent the
team owners taking any drastic action
The executive board of the teamsters met
at the Briggs House today and began a
conference to discuss means for ending the
strike. 1t was said plan was made to ap-
point committee to wait upon the en-
ployers.
The hope of the teamste:s is that they
may effect individual settlements without
reference to the whole body of State street
merchants
The teamsters believe that If they can
make settlements with some of the stores
the way will be opened for a general settle
ment.
