at Washington a lawyer who for many
years shocked a large number Of

entered the late lawyers home some
minutes after the beginning of the
service.
What part of the service is this?"

THE ANTI PASS BILL.

The vote in the state senate was
unanimous in passing the anti-pass
bill yesterday. Doubtless their were
those whose hearts and hands were
scarcely in unison on the question, but
with the sentiment of the state be-
hind it, the mild nature of the measure
and the need OF doing something popu-
lar, even the railroad senators failed
to openly oppose the anti-pass bill. 1t
now looks as tho the Hughes move-
ment for an arti-pass law had receiv-
ed the impetus necessary to carry 1t
to the statute books.
The bill while not satisfying the de-
nlands of the most radical seems to
meet the real demands of the people.

TEMPERANCE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

A bill has passed the lower house Of
the South Carolina legislature, ajbol-
fishing the state dispensary, the whole
sale house, altogether, and giving local
option to the people of the various
counties whether they will retain coun-
ty dispensaries or have prohibition. The
bill will have a close call in the state
senate, but mary people declare it will
pass.
Senator Tillnlan has given char
acteristic notice to the legislators that
make the whisky question the issue in
the coming campaign regardless of
whether the local option bill passes
the legislature and is signed. He re-
fers to members of the legislature who
have voted for the local option bill as

asserts that the prohibitionists have
entered into dirty bargains with the

THE STORY OF A GOVERNOR.

When it comes to historical remin-
iscences of the palmy days of Burling-

No Iowa newspaper man knows so
much of the inside of 20" men and
motives. LATE was part of the history
he recalls. not as q campfollower or
a body servant, but as a fighting man.
He knows, and what he knows he
learned at first hands.
In another column we republish to-
day Mr. Youns,s story of governor
who refused q second term rather
than submit to the Shameless and
merciless" demands of the corporation
servers to whom the great men of
iowa once were obliged to slavishly
submit their hopes of official distinc-
ton. He went out of office with his
manhood preferably to remaining as
tool of the railroads. Mr.. Young knew

mands that drove decent man to
sacrifice an official career to his own
honor. six years ago LATE Young
boldly told the story in his daily Iowa
Capital. This was when LATE was
telling the truth.
Carroll Wright aided Cummins in his
railroad attorney then. When he
made his demand on Cummins the gov
ernor neither granted them nor got
out of the way. In the vernacular he
told Mr. Wright and his railroad to
go to - He refused to consider
that political support by a railroad
attorney closed a contract conveying
the state of Iowa to the railroad COM
panies. And since then Mr. Wright
has been wrong; with Cummins.
Read Lafe' "reminiscences. He is q
capital witness when he tells the truth
and he was telling the truth then.
Do we in Iowa want a return to the
days when the 20" was in it's flower?
Can Mr.. Perkins hold out his hand for
the favors of the railroad bosses and
refuse their demands should he become
governor thru their aid? Is the pres
ent executive council one that any
railway boss can "call outside and in
struct in Whisper" These are ques-
tons to be carefully pondered and

safety.

THE FIRST CASE

The first case involving the application to
foreign products of the new meat inspection
law and regulations came before the De-
partment of Justice yesterday when counsel
for the Maggi Company OF Switzerland APP
peared at the instance Of Secretary Wilson
and made argument before Assistant Attor-
ney General Robb to show why their prod

lions Of the law. Counsel stated that this
product, which Is a bullion made at kempt-
tai is In every sense a completed product
when 1t Is shipped from Switzerland to the
United States, and that the company has
no slaughtering. packing, meat canning or
rendering plant in this country: nor Us IT'S
product subjected to any additional treat
ment after Importation. Therefore. counsel
asked the Secretary Of Agriculture for
letter stating that the article In question
was not subject to the regulations OF the
meat inspection act.

cision in the case will. 1t II expected. be OF
