he has not found any work to his lik-

very much. Bert Stone and John

building its road to the Pacific coast.
Mr. and Mrs Naeve and Mr.. and

and stopped off at Medina. Stutsman
county, North Dakota This is the
county where number of our Deni-
son people bought good many sec
tions of land about six years ago at
$500 per acre and which now sells
for So. 80 to $500. They raise good
crops there and it was certainly a
great mistake that the Denison peo-

FAIRBANKS AND THE PREsI-
DENCY.

The candidacy OF Vice-P President
Fairbanks for presidency to succeed
Roosevelt must lead either to dis
aster to him and the republican party
or both The republican party while
under sane guidance will not make
him its candidate. So defeat in con-
vention and certainly at the polls
awaits him. He stands at the pres
ent time for exactly what the country
does not stand for. He is railroad
lawyer, maze his wealth by exploit
ing railroads. and his record is repul-
sive to the masses of the people who
want continuance of the policies of
President Roosevelt. His defeat as
candidate would be as sure from
the first as that of Parker in the last
campaign. The republican party is
not ready to go down in defeat under
the leadership of man of the Fair
banks class. 1t will be the fear that
such a man as he may by some chance
get on the ticket which will cause the
party to call on Roosevelt to serve
another term.

ARTICLE.


We print Oh this page with ap.
proval of what it says an article from
the Rockford Register headed. Gar
Insult to iowa Womanhood. - We
were shocked as We're many others in
this city by finding in the Des Moines
capital tlaring picture of degraded
wretch of woman who had died af-
ter most brazen career. With the
picture came two column write-uI
of her wicked life in Des Moines,
which was set forth in colors to entice
rather than disgust. After running
the lives of hundreds of men and
women. she had on the face of affairs
ceased her deviltry and married man
who took her to st. Louis to live.
This was some four years ago. and
now she has died and was buried in
Des Moines. A statement as to her
life and death was part of the bust
ness of the paper. but the two column
Wrlteup at 10 time drawing d moral
lesson from her Infamous career was
disgrace to the Capital presided
over as it is by MIR. LATE Young a
man who stands presumably for purity
and good morals.

have made recently more cutting
restrictions as to rates The CUES
tion now arises whether the United
States courts will step in to enjoin the
execution of state laws of this kind.
A maximum freight rate was passed
in Missouri in 1905 but the states was
promptly enjoined from putting 1t
into execution by the federal court on
request of the railroads. The cases
have not yet reached the United
States supreme court. so in the mean
time the roads can go on as they
think best ard the state is helpless. In
North Carolina law has been passed
as to passenger rates which provides
that disobediance shall cause the inn
prisonment of the railroad officials.
The Southern road has not kept the
law and the state authorities have ar
rested local agents and finally the
president of the road Mr.. Finley The
United States judge, Judge Pritchard
has enjoined the state from executing
its laws as far as the regulating of rail-
roads by the last statute is concerned.
and released President Finley from
arrest. Governor Folk of Missouri
and the Governor of North Carolina
are terribly aroused over the matter
and in the latter state the arrests will
go on despite the action of the federal
judge.
1t is not alone in the South that the
federal courts are being asked to en-
join the new railroad rates regulation
but in Iowa. A case which effected
our present two cent rate was brought
before Judge Mcpherson within a
few weeks. but instead of issuing an
injunction. he postponed the determi-
nation OF the matter until three
months and in the meantime the rail-
road complaining to note Just what
the effect the two cent rates may
make on passenger earnings.
The state courts are open to try the
cases on their merits. and there is nc
necessity for calling in the federal
courts. While unfolding the powers
of the general government over inter
state commerce we do not believe the
United States supreme court will
claim authority to set aside the laws

STATES RIGHTS COMING TO THE
FRONT.

The right of the various states TO
handle their domestic affairs is again
coming to the front. This time it de-
mands attention in connection with
the right to regulate the freight and
passenger rate and to set penalties
for breaking the state laws. The
doctrine of State Rights which was
settled by the war. was whether a
state could refuse TO obey the laws
of congress made after full discussion
when each state through her repre-
sentatives had been allowed her full
opportunity TO be heard. The present
situation is whether the federal govern
ment shall step in to nulify law
made by state when acting within
ses powers. Many of the states. Iowa
included. have passed laws regulating
she price to be charged by the rail
roads for freight and passenger service
The right Of state thus to regu-
late has been sustained in many cases
taken to the supreme court of the
United States. Acting further along
this line, North Carolina. Missouri,
iowa. Nebraska and many other states
