The attention Of this board has been
called to the recent death of two boys
in Burlington said by Iumors' ia have
been the result of poisoning by eating col
ored candy.
we have visited the locality and made
a thorough investigation of all circum-
stances connected with their sickness and
death The older boy. aged Il years, was
not living at home. but the family in
winch he lived and where ne was sick,
assured us that during tho time he had
lived with them (sevclal weeks they had
never known of his having candy of any
kind; the younger boy, aged nine years.
was sick for ten days: the week befoSc
being taken sick. he had eaten with other
members of his family of Boston Beans
so called These candies ar" peanuts,
ca dy-coated \ younger member OF the
family has eaten fully of these candied
peanuts since the death of this boy with
/ out any injurious results.
From the history of the cases as given
| by both the families and the attending
physician, there were no symptoms poH1t-
| ing to poisoning of any kind. Further
W. obtained some of these Boston Beans

Ihave been examined at the laboratory and

Hence we are forced 20 the conclusion
That the poys died from pneumonia, as

A LICENSE DECISION
Judge Mower Decides Iicensee Is Not
WilfuI Niolator OF Law II He sells
to Unknown Mnn.

While a notice is sent 10y hoard Of
license commissioners To licensee to the
effect that liquor has been sold to a man
Is sufficient. il does not charge the liCen-
see with knowledge of the man. That is
the effect of a decision given in city court
saturday by Judge Mower and if this de-
gision is upheld by the higher courts 1t
will have wide effect upon the dlsclosur'
feature of the license law as it VII lhhhc
1t practically impossible to secure tho
conviction of a dealer upon dis'losJrc
Unless he actually krows the m"n Who
nas made the Disclosure"
This point was raised in the case
brought by states Attorney Sherman
against Lee Ravlin. a second class licen-
sec of Winooski The case grew nut of a
disclosure made by Dan Monahan. who
was charged with 4 second offense in city
court When Rsvlin was in court he ad-
mitted having received notice from the
commissioners that Monahan had been
drunk and that liquor should not be sold
t. him but he claimed he did not know
Monahan.
In rendering his decision Judge Mower
referred 10 section 81 of the license law,
which is as follows
"A person who wilfuly violates any of
lnt Prov SiOnS OF lUlS dNt lbl NllIh 81 P'i-
atty is not otherwise prescribed shall be
fined not less than fifty, nor more than
two hundred dollars, or he imprisoned not
less. than one nor more than three
months. or both
The judge said that he did not believe
the intent Of the law was to make a
lcensee a willful Nolator of the law when
he did not have knowledge Of the identity
of man to whom he sold liquor As a
result of tho decision Ravin was dis
charged.
Whether the point in question Will he
taken to the supreme court is doubtful
il will not he in this case AS States Attor-
ney Sherman is agreed with Judge Move
IN the decision. This point has been much
discussed by saloonkeepers, who claim
that an injustice is done them in the mat
Ter of disclosures. as they assert that II
is an mpossibility for a dealer Ia know
tho name OF every man To whom he sells.
With 500 or 90 names posted they say that
i, IL is impossible for a dealer or his bar
tenders TO know the identity of them ali.
In giving his decision Judge Mower said
that this would have no bearing upon any
action the board of license commissioner.
might see III to take in u case where
disclnsur" had been made. 1t would no
effect their action If they wished TO re

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-05-09

Hon. Geo. d. Perkins, candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor. addressed an audience of 1900
voters which crowded Fosters opera
house In Des Moines the evening Of
April rs, and the reception given him
was most enthusiastic. The meeting
was one OF the most largely attended
and successful political gatherings
ever held In Des Moines.
Mr.. Perkins was In fine fettle and
held the closest attention Of his
hearers. II was noticeable that the
audience was made up of the old
guard of republicanism in Des Moines.
Mr.. Perkins preached sound dictrine
to the men who have helped make the
party In Des Moines. 1t was not q
curiosity audience, but a
house Of friends, and the candidates
clear, candid, conservative. telling ut
terances on state and national topics
went straight home. The address
was an appeal to save Iowa republic
anisn from the wild and wierd paths
into which the governor is leading; It
was q calm exhortation against turn
ing republicanism into Organism, pop
ulism Of Hearstism; 1t was above all,
an impassioned call to republicans
not to follow of after strange gods,
imaginary issues or scarecrows erect
ed for nomination purposes only.
Nation Looking to Iowa.
Mr.. Perkins declared that there
was tust one man In Iowa who was
leading republicans into slough
which would result in democratic con-
gressmen being chosen to succeed
our present republican representation
in congress. He said that the eyes
OF the nation were upon Iowa at this
time, and that upon the result here
much depends. II the sister states
understand that Iowa is ready TO
withdraw It's support from the presi-
dent on the tariff question. then there
comes the great danger Of Roosevelt's
administration being embarrassed In
the immediate future by democratic
or at least an anti-protection con-
gress, which may shatter business
conditions and send the present rs-
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-05-09
PERKINS POINTERS.

1t has been the uniform prac.
tice In the state that the execu-
tive with two terms would re-
tire and return his office to the
people who gave It.
not only am running
against Cummins, but am
ming against the state of Iowa.
III something should hap
pen" at Washington, the "emer.
gency" (for Cummins to be
eovernor) would disappear.
For the first time in my life
am called forth by executive
order to defend my name.
am opposed to domination
Of corporations. also am op-
posed to the domination of
merclless machine built up un.
der executive power.
Through ereenbackism and
during the time of all these
various reform movements,
Iowa has stood steadfast and
been the glory of the central
west. IL would be a reproach.
after all these years, If It should
go popuIist."
The ambitions of the indl-
vldual are Of small account, no
matter how capable one may
be In the office of governor.
Every business man shoulo
first consider the farmers of
this state. II they flourish, the
rest Of US flourish; II they fail,
we all fail.
am not a candidate for the
Senate.
We cannot let the blood out
In one place without weaken.
Ing tho whole system.
want no political capital or
preferment that shall be at the
expense Of my state or country.
Congress Is responsible to
the will Of the people and
doubt the wisdom Of that man
who teaches you II Is not.
We are on the skirmlsh line
Of the presidential campaign Of
1908.
Tho governor said he loved
me and those who have had his
favor know how tender In
words he can be.
