work for the past eleven years, the

After his retirement four years ago Mr..
Morton was made manager which po-
sition he held until the present time,
giving entire satisfaction to the stock
holders Mr.. Morton started at the
bottom of the ladder and by consistent
effort and devotion to duty has gone

who will regret to see them leave the

A PERKINS CARD
Editor Candidate Issues Statement
That He Is Not the Tool Of Corpora
tions-Prefers Defeat Rather Than
Governorship Under Obligation to
the Railroads.

Sioux City. April 4.--George D. Per-
kins prints the following card on the
editorial page OF the Journal this morn
ing:
Il would rather be defeated for the
nomination for governor than to be the
means of lowering the standard of pub
lie life in Iowa. If | We're to be made
governor and give my influence to
corrupt rule of the state. to aid in de-
bauching the state with corporation
rule and greedy machine management,
the office would be curse to me. I
hope / am not devoid of common sense.
l would be fool to surrender whatever
decency l have acquired to the credit of
my name in an exchange for a COM
mission to act as governor. If cannot
serve the people in this matter, then
cannot serve myself. I can offer no
guarantee of my honorable intentions
than such as my record in business and
politics may afford.

to penetrate the lid of the right eye

for his signature The bill was
amonded i'm the senate so as to refer
specifically to dealings in petroleum
and its products, which makes the bill
more direct and one that cannot be
evaded.
The Langan bill to make 1t easier to
bring suit against corporations mas
passed both houses. This is bili
which authorizes the secretary OF state
to accept service of notices on behalf
of all corporations operating under
Iowa law, just as insurance companies
may now be reached thru the audltot
of state. The fact is that corporations
are sometimes organized In Iowa lor
the especial purpose of doing business
in some other state and they escape
liability for debts because they tan TO
maintain any office in Iowa and their
officers can never he found In the
state. The Langan bill seeks to correct
this. 1t was devised by the brilliant
Junior member from Clinton county.
The state marshal bill was sup
norted in the house by 33 votes. with 81
against it, on committee reports Ihe
bill was got before the house on mi
report. Merdith, Cobb and Nc
Allister spoke for the bill: but the
house was fully determined on defeat
ing it.
The pardons committees have decid-
cd that In the case of Busse and Smith,
due to be hanged this month, the leg
islature has no Jurisdiction. Most of
the members, however decided that
even IL the legislature had jurisdiction
there would be no interference with the
harpgman.

The Philippines.

The projects of the war and navy de
partments with reference to the Phil
ippines call for enormous sums. The
military authorities are proceeding
upon the theory. apparently thar the
Philippines are as much a part of the
United States as New York harbor
and must be as wen protected and de-
Tended. Is congress ready to accep,
this theory with all thar 1t involves in
expenditure for forts. docks. guns.
warships. transports. and shifting Of
troops and supplies? If it is. the Phil
ippine bin should not only be passec
but the duty on Philippine products
should be wiped out entirely. There
should be absolute union If the Philip
pines are a part Of the United States.
The P0e1 does not beneYe that the
Philippines ever were or ever can be
part of this Union We do not believe
the people OF the United States would
consent 70 such an Incorporation. AT
best, the Philippines are merely terri,
tory belonging to The United States
ard as such may be disposed of bv
