JUSTICE FINES HIMSELF.
He and crony Go Fishing Two
DAYS Before law ] S OF.

Justice OF the Pence John Belcher. Of
Monmouth, Iowa, tried himself recently
for violation at the fishing law, received
his own plea Of gull ty and fined himself
Ss4,:S5, a. trife over three a ollnrs apl for
4 the fish he caught out OF season, accord
ing to the Duluth News-Trlbune.
John Case and John I3eleher; j & ~.
prominent citizeAs. became too anxious
to wait until May 18th IL to h go fishing.
The morning of May 10th was 40 bright
and warm TINT these two old cronies Just
had to take their poles and wander out
to Mineral Creek at nice shady point,
where It runs into the Maqu oketa River.
Here they met with such wonderful luck
that when they returned homo they had
string OF clghty-one bass. .3i35 IL sS5S
e Proud Of their extraordinary catch, they
displayed their strings to their neigh
bors, and some envious mortal passed
Z the word along to State Warden Lincoln,
Then Deputy Warden Carson was ordered
q to Monmouth TO Investigate. The result
was the arrest of Case and Belcher, They
were tried and paid their fines;5 Case,
slss,7o on twenty-five counts and Belcher,
fs4.S5 on ten counts. This totals a trife
over s. apiece for tho fish and makes
4 probably the most expensive string 4 OF
fish ever caught In Jackson county.
5s The odd feature OF the case was that
& BeIcher being justice OF the peace, the
cases wr brought In his court. He plead
"a guilty before himself then took his
cr0ny's plea OF guilty and assessed the
4 fines against himself and his friend in
his own ledger. Y

REGISTERS PLATFORM
He Announces His Candidacy
for Reelection as Rail-
road Commissioner.

Commission District:
In regard to my candidacy for
reelection to the office of Rail-
road Commissioner of the Third
District, L desire to say that the
one plank upon which | stand Is
the fair and impartial discharge
of my duty.
In the past my every official
act has been directed by a con-
scientious effort to accomplish
this purpose; no man can truth
fully charge that | have not. at
all times, honestly and fairly
employed all my energy and
ability in laboring with the many
problems submitted to the Com
mission. l have endeavored to
assist in placing the Commission
on that plane of usefulness which
the trainers of the Constitution
intended that it should occupy
and in accomplishing the purposes
for which the people demanded it
should be established.
One campaign argument-giyen
the widest circulation by an OPP
ponent of mine-is to the effect
that the three commissioners
should reside in Baton Rouge.
Anyone reading the articles of
the Constitution, with an un-
jaundiced eye, can not fairly ar
rive at such conclusion.
The law fixes the domicile of
the Commission at Baton Rouge,
just as every board or commits
sion, created by law, has its
domicile at some designated point;
but if the law contemplated that
the three commissioners should
60 to Baton Rouge and sit and
wait for complaints or requests
of the citizens. why was it so
careful to provide that they
should be selected from certain
districts of the State defined by
geographical boundaries? On the
contrary the plain intention of
the constitution is that the COM
missioners from each district
shall be in touch with the needs
of the district and in such
position that he may be easily
reached by his constituents.
The present commissioners
have lived within their respective
districts. Four sessions of the
Legislature have passed since the
creation of the Commission and
yet we have no law upon the
statute books to the effect that
the members of the commission
should reside in Baton Rouge.
During the session of 1904, the
question of requiring the MEM
bers of the Commission to reside
in Baton Rouge at least fifteen
days in each month, was agitated;
yet no such bill became a law.
In addition to the fact that the
residence of the different men,
bers In their respective districts
places them nearer the people of
the district, there is another
point which is of vital interest to
the taxpayer.
The appropriation act provided
for the payment of the expenses
of a member on trips from and
to Baton Rouge, when attending
to business of the Commission.
If the commissioner is domiciled
in Baton Rouge, and is called to
look into a matter in his district,
and soon after his return to his
domicile at Baton Rouge, he is
recalled to the same or q neigh
boring place, the expenses of
each of these trips would be
infnitesilnal as compared to what
it would cost from Baton Rouge.
To the thoughtful mind the
argument that the commissioners
should remove themselves from
the very territory to which they
will be called from time to time,
