Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-04-11

Senator Allison has taken a stand
for the presidents rate regulation
program, announcing his intention to
support the court review amendment
to the Hepburn bill. The announce
ment caused stir among the more
conservative element in the senate,
with whom he has always been
aligned, but will have much influence
toward the carrying out of the
presidents program.

The good news comes from Des
Moines that Joe Trigg, editor of the
Iowa State Register and Farmer, and
of the Farm, Orchard and Garden de-
partment of hundreds of newspapers
throughout the middle west, is on the
road to complete recovery. What
was feared to be creeping paralysis
is gradually leaving him. and it is
thought he will soon be able to return
to his duties His thousands of per-
sonal acquaintances throughout Iowa
will hope for rapid return to his
former health and intellectual power.

TO THE REPUBLICANS OF IOWA.

Il would rather be defeated for the
nomination for governor than to be
the means of lowering the standard of
public life in Iowa. If l were to be
made governor and give my influence
to corrupt rule of the state, to aid in
debauching the state with corporation
rule and greedy machine management,
an Office would be curse to me. /
hope / am not devoid of common
sense / would be a fool to surrender
whatever decency ] have acquired to
the credit of my name in an exchange
for commission to act as governor.

PRIATIONS GETTING THROUGH
PRIATION SGETTING THROUGH
DURING PRESENT SESSION.

A private letter from a reliable sourcI
i'm Washington says that there is an
increased chance of the passage Of pub
lie building appropriations this session,
and that Senator Warren has intro
duced in the Senate, both the bills for
Hawaii which Kuhio introduced some
time ago i'm the House. One provides
100000 for a site and building in Ho-
nolulu and the other $15O,OOO for sim
liar purpose in Hilo.
According to the letter referred to,
there is increased activity in the build
ing appropriations line, and it is quite
likely that a bill will go through this
session, instead of being passed by as
was thought would happen short time
ago. The letter also says that If a
bill is passed Hawaii, will be in it,
though perhaps for less sums than
those mentioned in the bills introduced.
Warren introduced both bills in the
Senate on January 81. He is second
member Of the Senate committee on
Public Buildings, and a very influential
member of the upper house.

OPPOSES
OUR BILL
VERY SERIOUS OPPOSITION TO
THE SEVENTY-FIv PER CENT
REFUNDING PROPOSITION.

Acting Governor Atkinson has re-
ceived advices from Washington in
dicating that Congressman Serene Il.
Payne, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee lis unyielding in his
opposition to the revenue refunding
proposition which the w. O. Smith dele
cation is urging. Payne is a very in
fluential member of the House, and his
opposition is a very serious matter, but.
as the acting governor puts it, even IL
the refunding bill is defeated, the effort
to pass it will have educated Congress
to a realization of how Hawaii has
been neglected in appropriations.
Congressman Payne's view is that
Hawaii is not entitled to special relief,
like the bankrupt former Spanish COL
onies are" said Atkinson. He shows
that the balance of trade is in favor OF
Hawaii and says that the Territory
should therefore be ready to pay taxes
like other states and territories and
secure needed appropriations from Con-
gress in the regular way.
This would be a good argument but
for the fact that Congress does not give
us the appropriations. That is the
whole basis of Carter's idea in this re-
funding business and that is what we
are urging upon Congress.
Even supposing that the effort to
pass the refunding bill fails, our re-
presentations to Congress will have an
effect that will make them well worth
while. Mr.. Payne's own argument
against it requires, to make it reason
able, that Congress shall give us appro-
priations more nearly in proportion to
what we pay in to the government, and
this Congress has not been doing. At
any rate we have made that known
and If we don't get the seventy-five per
cent we shall get more appropriations"

ATKINSON
and AZORES
ACTING GOVERNOR MISREPRE-
SENTED BY STATEMENT THAT
HE WAS "TOO BUSY" TO ACT.

Acting Governor Atkinson was a
very mad man this morning and from
appearances he had right to be mad.
1t seems that ne was utterly misrep-
resented by an evening paper as to
the situation in regard to the importa-
tion of Portuguese families from the
Azores, work which ne was preparing
in Washington when he had to return
on account of the illness of the Gov
ernor.
1T was intimated that I said 1 was
too busy to call a meeting of the
Board of Immigration said the Act
ing Governor, but l never said that
at ALL Whether the misrepresentation
was deliberate or not 1 do not know.
What / did say was that 1 was doing
some other things in regard to the i'm
portation of laborers, of course, and
this was twisted into my saying that
l was too busy l don't mind fair cri-
ticism on anything that l may say or
do but if I am going to be treated in
this manner l am certainly going to
resent it.
LAS far as the Planters are concern
ed I have heard no word of complaint
and they are the most interes ted. OF
course there are other things to attend
to in connection with the bringing of a
large number of people here half way
round the world, but as you know l
had to leave Washington with a num-
ber of loose ends of business united. It
was not my fault that 1 had to come
away and I cannot see the use OF call
ing any meeting until these matters
are in shape.
II was entrusted with this matter from
the start l worked the bill through
which enabled us TO act at all and
now surely because by no fault of
mine there is a delay, it is not fair
that I am to be nagged at and criti-
cized."
1.-The talk that the Board of Immi-
grafton or the Planters have chosen
a man to go to the Azores is absolutely
without foundation" said Commissions
er j. p Cooke this morning. Nothing
has been done since the last meeting

when the Board is to meet, but / hope

CHUN HOON WILL BE OUT ON
BAIL THE REST OF HIS NATU-
RAJ LIFE.

Il want to say that 1 have always
treated the Attorney Generals Depart
ment with great deal more courtesy
than anyone over there deserves" said
A. S. Humphreys in De Bolts court
this morning, replying to a remark Of
Deputy Attorney General Prosser in
the Chun Hoon habeas corpus case.
Then a big chunk of plaster fell from
the ceiling just over where Prosser
stood striking the floor with a crash
couple of seconds after Prosser NOV
ed from the spot.
THAT shows how quick the Depart
ment can stand from under" said
Prosser.
Let justice be done though the hea-
vens fall" said Gear striking a heroic
attitude
Judge De Bolt only smiled at the pune
tuation of his answer to Humphreys
vitriolic remark about courtesy and
the attorney generals deserts. THE
court is not deciding anything about
that" is what he was saying.
The argument was lively enough ia
disturb any ceiling,-in fact both Hum
phreys and Prosser hit the ceiling
several times before Chun Hoon was
finally allowed to go forth in freedom
until the case can be heard, which will
be next Saturday morning. Prosser
wanted to go ahead at once, He de-
clared the matter a very simple one
and said the court should not allow
freedom to convicted and sentenced
gambler.
Il can prophecy what's going to hap
pen" Prosser remarked at one stage,
your honor will sustain this convic-
tion and therell be an appeal, with the
prisoner on bail. Then the Supreme
Court will sustain it and there'll be an
appeal to Washington-with the prison
er on bail. BY the time the case is set
tied we shall all be dead-and the pri-
soner II be on bail. He ought to be
remanded to prison at once"
THE court can't decide the case be-
fore hearing it," said Judge De Bolt
with an air of thoughtful and regretful
rebuke.
Humphreys said he wasn't in the
prophecy business and wanted his case
heard.
Gear volunteered to prophecy against
Prosser and said he was confident that
the court when it heard the real law
instead Of the kind Prosser was going
to hand out, would discharge the pri-
soner.
The judge finally held that Humph-
reys was entitled to the time he wanted

Found Snake
In Guam
FIRST DISCOVERY IN THE HIS
TORY OF THE ISLAND MADE
BY A NAVAL SURGEON.

The first snake in the history of Guam
island has been discovered. 1t was
found by Dr. Thompson of the Naval
service. He is quite naturalist. His
speciality is a study of snakes. Thomp-
son was very anxious to have the yes
sci make stop at Wake Island on the
outward trip but Captain Pond of the
vessel was anxious to get to Cavite so
did not stop. At Guam DR.. Thompson
gained permanent scientific fame by
discovering a snake. 1t is not stated by
officers of the Lawton what particular
color the snake was but it measured
about foot in length and was harm
less. DR.. Thompson put the snake in
bottle. This is the first snake that
anybody ever saw at Guam, so far as
any record is concerned.

New York's Slow Methods.

Throughout the summer season, for
years and years, complaints have arisen
from the various beach resorts around
about New York City of offensive condi-
tions which frequently make surf bathing
impossible and almost invariably make il
disgustingly unpleasant. Those who have
had the temerity TO try a plunge run
the risk Of having their eyes and mouths
filed with various specimens of decayed
and decaying vegetables. and corn husks
swished around their necks 10 a degree Of
tightness that threatens suffocation.
The reason for this annoying and dis
gusting condition is that the great city
Of New York persistently adheres 10 theex-
travagant, unsatisfactory and antiquated
system Of disposing Of garbage collections
by taking them out in scows and dumping
them in the Atlantic Ocean OF course
the contractors are supposed to take
them such a distance that there will be
no danger Of any fragments floating
ashore, but Of course they do not; the
result is that every bathing beach in the
vicinity is contaminated and beiouled
by this offensive garbage, which is brought
ashore by the tides and spread indiscrimi-
nately among those who happen to be
bathing at the time Of arrival.
It is amazing that New York City,
so immeasurably superior in so many
respects 10 any other municipality in
the world, should be so far behind the
times in the matter of the disposal Of
garbage. There one would expect the
latest and most scientific methods Of
garbage disposal; instead the city clngs

Even II the beaches did not suffer the
situation would be bad enough, but when
by New Yorks negligence, bathers are
compelled to take chances Of a foul vege-
table soup bath or none at all, the situa.
tion is one that should provoke righteou.
