and laying his hand on my shoulder In
way that always makes me feel sorry
for lonely women; Della, let me in

Child Labor Law Affects Mines.

Child Labor Law AnectS MINES.
The new child labor law, IL has
Just been discovered, has a bearing
on Iowa mines which calls for the at
tention OF the state mine inspector
and will probably result In the release
OF several hundred boys In the state
under the age of 16 years who are
now working under ground. IL was
not intended at the time to exclude
these boys from mines, but through
manipulation the result was unexpect-
eddy attained. In the original bill Of
fered by the labor organizations OF
the state It provided children under
16 years of age should not be engaged
in stone quarries. On the floor in the
house Representative Bealer of Linn
county, who is engaged In stone quar-
ry business, opposed the measure but
1t was passed.
Then there was lively skirmish In
the senate where the committee re-
ported a substitute measure leaving
out stone quarrles entirely. The ses-
sion was nearing an end. The labor
interests were instrumental In get
ting a conference OF the senate ana
house committees. Their sub-commit-
tee reported a bill which did not refer
to stone quarries, but prohibited the
employment of children under 10
years of age In places where danger
Gus explosives are used. This was
designed to effect the large quarries.
Now IL is readily seen that this will
cover mines where the coal is blasted
with dynamite.

important Tax Decision.

important Tax Decision.
The supreme court has decided that
In Iowa the surplus OF insurance com
panies is taxable. The case In which
the decision was made was that of
the Chicago Life OF Des Moines
against the board of review. The as.
SCISSOR listed the company's surplus of
$12,4S2 and the board of review re-
fused TO cancel It. On appeal to the
district court Judge Hugh Brennan
set aside the assessment, but the SUI
preme court reversed that judgment.
There Is no statute requiring the
accumulation OF a surplus. The pur.
pose OF the law was TO make the
moneys and credits of insurance COM
panles taxable subject only to certain
defined exceptions. The court finds
the surplus referred to not to be one
Of the exemptions. The funds might
be put to the credit OF expenses, but
this would not be in aid OF the "ful
| fllment" of contract Of insurance as
| defined by the law.
or course there may be plans OF
insurance I'm which the redistribution
of the surplus in whole or In part is
In some manner made obligatory or
legally enforcible. The surplus is an
asset OF the company, not of the policy
holders. II Is not debt TO the policy
holder and cannot be deducted from
the company's moneys and credits.

am thirty to-day go! XXX!D, and
Dolf's birthday present (the fourth
since our marriageD is lying on the
writing table in the sunshine.
Thirteen years ago he gave me a
heart-a little simple gold thing-and
to-day he gives me yet another!
But this one is set with diamonds,
diamonds that shine with emblemat!cal
fires OF tiawless purity.
1t is wonderfully sweet that my
birthday gift shall still be heart--at
thirty!
Five years ago | feared the mirror,
but to-day | sit before it bravely, and
without pain.
This morning Dolf woke me with a
kiss.
Wake up. my birthday wife," he
whispered, standing tall, bronzed and
tweed-clad by the bedside.
For moment | could not quite rea-
lie things, but then suddenly remem-
bered which birthday this was.
"Dolf, Dolf!" l murmured, with my
face buried In his neck Chat dear
brown bit between his nearly curling
hair and collar), Il am thirty to-
day."
Thirty? And we were married just
after you were twenty-five! Well, thank
God, only four years of our life to-
gether have gone by so far, sweet
heart!"
Dolf never mentions the old love
story, of which he knows nothing
mot even a name, nor an incidenD ex-
cept that l was-jilted! But some
times when look up suddenly and see
his eyes fixed wistfully upon my face
feel that he is mutely asking If his
rival still lives in a sacred place called
Memory-land.
wish l could answer him, bat
cannot-quite! think know, but II
is so dangerous to be sure!
A woman's heart is such an indefl-
mite thing: she can never be certain
Of 1t as long as the elusiveness OF re-
membrance alone separates the past
from the present.
Tonight we are giving little dou
zaine dinner" because Dolf will never
allow my birthday to go by without
some celebration. Ito me 1t seems
such childish idea! Why fete peo
pie because Of events over which they
had no control? But then, dear big
bronzed men are always childish!)

Temple Amendment Constitutional.

Temple Amendment constitutional.
The famous Temple amendment
protecting railroad employees in their
claims for personal injuries has been
declared to be constitutional by the
state supreme court. This decision
declares as unlawful any contract be-
tween railroad company and It's en-
ployes by which the employe Is made
to sign away in advance Of any pos
sible injury his right to damages.
II had been the custom of some
Iowa railroads, particularly the Burl-
ington, which was the defendant In
the present case, to maintain "relief
departments" and all employees partlc-
ipating in the benefits of this depart.
ment, were required to sign warner
of their rights to bring suit for dam
ages in event OF injury. The decision
Just handed down administers n Sc
we're blow TO such "relief depart
ments," as the employee Is not es-
topped from bringing any suit for
damages.
The case juse decided entitled
Charles L. Mcguire against the Chi
cago, Burlington e. Quincy Railroad
company. II was APPEALED from APP
panoose county and has been pend
Ing In the supreme court since June
%. 1903. Over 1000 other causes
have been submitted and decided by
the supreme court before 1t was able
TO reach an agreemnt on the Nc

THE LIGHT AIR
WATER QUESTION
A FRIEND OF COL. GOOpYEAR's
GIVES SOME GOOD IN.
FORM1TICn.

Mr. Editor:
desire to answor that "5trangle-
hold" statement and PROPOSITION
made by the solely and only re
sponsible clerk Of The ma or and
council. in using his influence with
his servants. the mayor and council,
in refusing the street car franchise
to the local people. and giving 1t
to Neff and others strangers.
The Light ana Water Company IS
not and should nor be an issue III
this campaign. Both candidates an
nounce their adherence to the prin-
ciples Of the city's taking over the
light and water plant.
Mr GOODYEAR names a plan By
which it can be done. Mr.. Symons
has no plan to hat end
Certain it is. the city cannot buy
it, ostensibly in her name and thea
turn it over TO Neff and others fo@|
exploitation. The courts. the bond
holders and til stockholders Of the
company would not ce.mit this to
Se done.
Has the city the money in hand
with which TO buy it? Can she is
sue bonds and get the money with
which 10 buy it now, without paying
off the 100000 sewerage bonds? No.
to both questions Can she go III
debt to buy it? No. tho city caunol
Then what is the remedy? Simple
as falling off log? Elect c. P.
Goodyear mayor and four good men,
and four OF the eight running would
do. who with the present members
of council should provide 4 sinking
fund with viii, L 10 buy the plant.
Make contract with the Light and
Water Company for only one year
at time: the Georgia supreme
court has said such d1ntract can
only hold for a year Aud lastly,
and which is a complete ana rout.
ing answer TO the strange hold"
proposition of solely aud only" let
the mayor and council pass an ordl-
| nance (aud let all the "starngle-
hold" believers be assuel that such
an ordinance, il reasonable and al
| lows a reasonable return to the Light
and Water Company on its invest
ment, will stand the test of any as
sault upon it,, providing that no
company doing business in the city
shall be permitted under penalties
named to charge a greater than the
maximum rates named in such or
dinance.
That would settle the question
ABSOLUTELY. as sa Well known
gentleman is wont to say, don't you
know. Then let the Light and Wa
ter bugaboo and "strangle-hold"
scare to the people be eliminated.
If the Light ard Water Company
has been gouging the reople, the
people may be assured that an ordi-
nance restricting the rates will solve
the question; ard when the city Is
able to buy the plant, Just buy it..
and pay for 1t; but do not turn It
over to solely and only" or associ'
ates thereunto connected. but let the
city run 1t. and pass another ordi-
nance at the same time, putting the
city employees operating such light
and water plant under q civil SER
vice tenure; and keep them out Of
| politics.
write this as a friend OF M.
Goodyear, and as one who dislikes
to see him assailed through preju.
