THE. WEATHER AND THE CROPS

Keosauqua Democrat.-The excep-
tfonally cold weather of the present
month excites a good deal of comment.
James Dufheld, who called recently,
states that one morning it was only IA
above zero. Two mornings during the
month the water was frozen nearly an
inch. Mr.. Dufaeld says the oats that
are up are not killed, neither does he
think the fruit is very seriously in
jured, but all vegetation has been re-
tarded and kept almost at a standstill
during the month. Mr.. Heminger of
Vernon township says this spring is
very much like the spring of 1860. The
grass and wheat crop was light that
year on account of an early drought,
but the oats and corn were good.

I'VE want them to have a fair trial,

prisoners guilty without trial. Chris

TAKING LONG CHANCES.

From the Sibley, Ia, Tribune.-Th
supreme court of Iowa has put nn-
other handicap in the business Of vend-
ing liquor in this state.
Something over year ago William
Bistline, farmer near Webb, com
mitted suicide by shooting himself.
His widow sued Ney Bros, druggists,
Of Webb, for damages, alleging that
they had been selling liquor to her
husband and that it was the cause Of
his rash deed.
The case was holly contested and
found its way on. appeal to the SUI
preme court. Judge Quarton in the
lower court ruled that the burden of
proof that Bistline killed himself as
the result of intoxication and not from
other causes rested on the plaintiff.
The supreme court reversed his rul-
ing. Judge Weaver in his opinion
says:
"The statutes creates a new right of
action, and to sustain such the injur-
ed person is not required to establish
all the elements of an injury action
able at law. The statutes INDUCES
in the reasonable presumption that an
act done to the injury of a family by
a person whose faculties are abnor-
mally excited or confused by drink,
especially when the act is of charac-
ter not ordinarily to be expected from
a sane and sober person, is the re-
suit of intoxication."
The dealer in intoxicants must take
long chances under this ruling of any.
thing happening to his customer II
anything serious does happen it is the
legal presumption that 1t was because
of the sale of liquor, if that is alleged
to be the cause, and the seller must
prove that it wasn't. If instead OF
killing himself as in this instance,
the buyer had killed somebody else
both families involved in the misery
could come back on the vender for
damages. The ways are so manifold
of putting the vender in a hole that
no prudent man would risk the
chances involved in the business.

HER FATAL OBJECTION.

Alright? More than two years ago,
believe it was, since first met you.
For several months after that only
saw you occasionally; then gradually,
very gradually. I increased my visits
1t took six months to get on formal
calling basis; 1t took six months more
to be a regular visitor; six months
more to call you by your Christian
name; and 1t Is only during the last
few months that have ventured, with
many misgivings, even to hold your
hand. And now, after all this gradual
development Of my love, you tell me
that my declaration is so sudden. Do
you call this sudden?"
II do, indeed" she replied, calmly
'But for what reason?"

degree of hauteur:

THE cLEWs LETTER.

The period Of hysteria is over, and
confidence is slowly but surely being
restored" Is the way Henry Clews puts
1T In his weekly market letter. MI.
CleWs is one among those who daily
feels the pulse of the stock and money
markets, who refuses to be thrown into
panic whenever a furry In stocks
raises cry Of "boo." Mr.. Clews still
takes an optimistic view Of the situa.
ton, and In his opinion there will be
no halt to the country's prosperity If
business is conducted on the same
basis. Among other things he says:
The opinion is growing that mod
crate recession in business must be ex-
pected. The mere fact that new enter,
pr1ses are being undertaken with more
care will result in a lessened demand
for both commodities and labor. Re-
action usually begins at the. top. and
there is already noticeable lessening
In the demand for luxuries. The
shrinkages in Wall street we're felt
most severely by the rich and well-to-
do: hence the masses have escaped its
lnfluence-for the present at least;
and only in course Of time can 1t ex-
tend itself throughout the line. Labor
Is still actively employed at good
wages and is consuming freely of all
products. This means a continued ac-
tive consumption Of all the great sta
PIES OF commerce. Much will depend
upon the next harvest. Nearly all of
the crops are unusually late this sea-
son; but there is, Of course. ample
time for recovery.
Mr.. Clews expresses the belief that
commodities are still exceedingly high
and must seek more normal level,
just as the stocks held at inflated val
ues did. When the readjustment is
carried thus far, we may expect, he
says, renewed and more stable for

AN HISTORIAN BACK NUMBER.


20 You remember what the governor
Of North Carolina said to the governor
OF South Carolina? Well, II you
do, forget 1t, because 1t will
not be said again during the
terms of the present executives of
those states. At the opening of the
jamestown exposition last week the
Two governors were brought together
by Connecticut's governor. Governor
Ansel of South Carolina and Governor
Glenn Of North Carolina clasped
hands warmly, and while they were
expressing mutual qualification over
the meeting Governor Woodruff stood
expectantly. Finally he remarked:
And now, gentlemen, presume 1
shall have the pleasure Of hearing a
repetition of the famous remark Of the
governor of North Carolina to the gov.
ernor of South Carolina"
81 Governor Ansel responded at once:
Your excellency. as am prohibition
governor and teetotaler, cannot
make it sincerely
AS to the amazement of Governor
Woodruff and Governor Ansel as well,
The other Carolinian added: Being a
prohibittonist myself, too, must suffer
The remark, at least literally to remain
. matter of history
And here is case where history
does not repeat itself.

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

Any man who is not prepared to
manage his railway as a public insti-
tuition in accordance with the law
should resign and seek some other bus
mess" This was the advice given by
Melville q. ingalls,, chairman of the Big
Four systems board of directors, in a
speech before the Pittsburg Traffic
club. Mr.. Ingalls, took a stand in de.
fence Of the railroad managers. There
have been many things done in the
past by railway managers, which were
wrong, he said, but most of them, for
which they are badly condemned, were
justified by the situation and condi.
lions existing wnen they were done
When every manager was striving to
build up industries on his ltne-was
striving to get his fair share Of bust
ness from his ompetitor-the were
few. he said, that could Withstand the
temptations. But while defending the
managers for errors or the past, Mr..
ingalls, says they must not be repeated
Voicing this conviction. he says:
"It has been long fight-it mas been
a long time In which public opinion
has been getting educated, but as I
have stated. the end has come. There
is to be in the history Of this country
no more secret contracts-no more re.
bates-no more free transportation
Mr. Ingalls, takes the sensible view
when he holds that the railroads
should quit fighting and submit to regu.
lation. If the illegal practices are
brought to an end, there will be moth
ing to fear from government regula-
ton

is. THE PRESS 10 BLAME?

Jefferson Beef Iowa republicans
go into the coming republican presi-
dental campaign torn by home dis
sensions and broken by home quarrels
1t will be chiefly the fault, in our hum
BILE opinion, Of the newspapers Of the
state. There are a lot of newspapers
that simply won't be good. They ap-
pear to be ambitious to see delicate
machinery wrecked by a monkey
wrench. Nothing is so ungrateful to
them as a suggestion Of peace and har-
mony within their ranks. They must
have the "last word" and they want it
early and often. The spectacle is not
pleasing. So far as we are able to es-
Innate the temper of the rank and file
of the people. the feeling all around is
far more cordial than it was six months
or a year ago, and there is marked
disposition to. forget and forgive. The
disposition was very apparent in the
general assembly. There was no fac.
tionalism there. Me nand measures
stood squarely on their merits, and an
analysis of the votes will not disclose
to the keenest and most carping critic
any regular or irregular lineup" of a
fractional sort. The work was entered
upon with earnest accord, and the
"thisism" or "thatism" of man cut
no ice there. There was real old-fash-
toned republican brotherhood in the
Legislature, and there must be real, old
fashioned republican brotherhood in
the coming campaign. because we are
going to have our hands full at the
best. Whatever has been, has been;
the newspaper men as well as the PEG.
pie ought to forget 1t. What the PEG.
Tle of Iowa want Is a continuation Of
the strong, honest, capable policy Of
the Roosevelt administration; for a
candidate, il not Roosevelt himself,
then some man, whether he hail from
Iowa or outside of Iowa. who can be
depended upon to carry forward these
policies. These issues are too vital to
be impaired by fussing over local ques-
tions that are of person rather than
of principle. The newspaper men Of
