In Maryland and other southern

insistent, considerable growth Is be-

League" which has for its chief OBJ

grafton bureaus of the several states

is to make the provision of the law

wide agricultural areas Of the west and

The Italian village would fit nicely
into the vacant niche of southern

negro quarters Of slavery days. The
south could use Miss Adams gregari-

but can the west afford to replace its
American "hired men, with peasant

lie office. and to assist in the election
of candidates for public office, is so
well known and has been SO completely
established that l need not pause to
prove its existence There are many
| reason of the weightiest character
which demand an immediate prohibit
ton against such misuse of corpora
ton funds coupled with penalty OF
imprisonment for the violation OF the
law: First, the growing tendency to
use money in political campaigns is
subversive OF the fundamental princi-
pies of good government for 1t not
only destroys the purity of motive. but
it overthrows the safety which is al
ways found IN individual or independ-
ent action. Second 1t is a ISiain theft
from every stockholder who does not
give his assent to the contribution. and
the misrepresentation is peculiarly OBJ
noxious because 1t oftentimes puts the
| money of stakeholder at work for a
candidate whose success the stock
holder does not desire. Third, the
practice gives to the corporation an in
fiuence in public affairs chiefly because
of the money contributed. an infiu-
ence which is necessarily both selfish
and vicious.
Corporations should, of their own
motion, vigorously exclude themselves
from politics. and the most effective
way in which to give them strength to
resist temptation Is to fix penalty
for participation so severe that the
honest course will be the most attrac-
tive. one. l recommend with all my
earnestness the enactment of meas
ure upon this subject that will stop
at once and forever, so odious misuse
OF corporate property.
In this connection, I desire to sub
NIT another suggestion. / recognize
that there must be some expenditure of
money in every political campaign
whether for nomination or for cleo
ton. There are legitimate purposes
for which money can be expended and
to this extent when contributed by in
dividuals there can be no criticism of
the practice. You will all agree how
ever. that the expenditure of money in
political controversies has passed be-
yond a fair and reasonable limit. Other
countries and other states have at
tempted to restrict the use of money
within honest bounds thru that very
efficient corrective, publicity, / think
the state of Iowa should do likewise,
and / strongly recommend law that
will require not only political commit
tees but candidates for nomination and
| for election, to publish their expendi-
lures.

WANTED. COMPETENT klONApeRs.

The decision of the United States
case, has led the Appeal to Reason
and Wilshire's Magazine to offer a
peculiar reward of $1,000 each for sue
cessful kidnapping of Ex-Governor Tay-
or of Kentucky. The Moyer-Haywood
case referred to is the one notorious in
connection with the arrest and depor-
tation of striking miners in Colorado.
In its decision the court says:
Looking first at what was alleged
to have occurred in Colorado touching
5ithe arrest of the petitioner and his
deportation from that state, we do not
perceive that anything done there,
however hastily or inconsiderately
lone, can be adjudged to be in viola
ton of the constitution or laws Of the
United States. Even if it be true that
the arrest and deportation of Pettibone,
Meyer and Haywood from Colorado
was by fraud and connivance, to which
the governor of Colorado was a party,
this does not make out case of VIOLA
tion of the rights of the appellants I'M
der the constitution and laws of the
United States"
Wilshire's and the other socialist or
gan argue that this decision would
make it a perfectly legal procedure to
bl1idnap Taylor. who is fugitive from
Kentucky under accusation of COM
plicity in the Goebel murder and carry
Z him back to answer to the Kentucky
indictments before the Kentucky
courts. AS a test of the sincerity of
the court they offer the $4,000 reward
for the kidnapping of politician and
a capitalist"
The offer is interesting largely be-
cause it is curious. Few thinking peo-
pie will agree in the imputation cast
upon the supreme court by the So
cialist propaganda. The majority of
the American people are not ready to
coincide with or accept implication or
charge that Our highest legal tribunal
is utterly venal and owned and con-
trolled by capitalists and politicians.
However, few of us can deny that
were some bold and peratical socialist
to take a chance at the reward and de-
liver TAYLOR to the Kentucky authori-
ties we would be intensely interested
in the outcome and not entirely dis
pleased.
We are not to forget that supreme
courts interpret the law. They neither
make nor enforce it, Sentiment and
politics do not belong to their delibera-
lions. 1t is theirs to interpret the law
as it is, not as they or others may
conceive it ought to be. Doubtless the
United States supreme court has the
best legal justification for it's decision
against the, miners.

THE THAW CASE.
(Davennnrt Demncratl

Except for the sensational features
and the social notoriety of the prin-
cipals, dead and alive, the Thaw case
is just an ordinary murder trial. 1t
ought to be heard behind closed doors
and only the unvarnished facts given
out. Not because, generally speak,
ing, the ends of society would be bet
ter served by having all murder
trials take place in private; but be-
cause the privileges of the court
room have been greatly abused.
The effect of the Thaw trial will be
demoralizing in the extreme just as
public executions have that effect.
They do not discourage crime, but
make it inviting to abnormal and to
some normal minds. There is just
as much reason in excluding the pub
lie, even representatives of the press,
except to a limited degree, from muir
der trials such as this one in New
York, as there is from the executions
of criminals But it is all a matter
for public sentiment to settle.

IOWA AND TELEPHONE POLES.
Cedar Rapids Gazette)

Il don't suppose many residents of
this state know that Iowa used twen-
ty-two per cent of all the telegraph
poles cut in the northern cumberland"
said S. L. Grossman of Minneapolis,
at the Allison yesterday Yet this
is true. I have been interested in what
is known as stumpage land for a long
time. This stumpage timber is cut
solely for telegraph and telephone
poles. Timber used for this purpose
is left standing after lumbermen have
cleaned the woods of all desirable
trees. Then, again, when forest fire
sweeps thru big tract, much of the
timber left standing is available for
poles. This is all cut and shipped as
it stands to the sections of the coun-
try where poles are in the greatest de-
mand. In Iowa, the state of the farm
er. hundreds of thousands of telephone
poles are needed in strong rural tele-
phone lines The great number of
these in your state, in addition to the
telegraph lines, make Iowa one of the
foremost states for the northern pole
trade"

REGIS HENRI POST APPOINTED
NEW GOVERNOR.
70 Personal Friend OF the President
and Member of Old and Wealthy
Famiiy--PoIitics and Yacht
ing His Hobbies.

New York.-Regis Henri Post, who
was appointed governor of Porto Rico
by President Roosevelt on March 4 to
succeed Beekman Winthrop, who was
made assistant secretary of the treas
ury, is one of the youngest men who
has entered prominent public service
under the big stick" regime. He has
served two terms in the New York
state legislature, and has always
taken an active part in the local af-
fairs Of the Republican party In his
home town on Long Island.
He has also served as auditor and
secretary of Porto Rico, and his pro-
motion to the Office of governor was
no doubt due to efficiency shown in
the two minor Offices. Mr. Post is a
direct descendant of Richard Post, who
settled in Southampton, L. l., prior to
1640, and is the great-grandson of
lothian Post, who was a member of
the New York state assemblies from
1795 to 1905, member of the common
council of New York and a member of
congress from 1913 to 1915.
On his mothers side Regis Post is
q grandson of Gen. Comte Regis de
Trobriand, who served with distinc-
ton in the United States army during
the civil war. His maternal grand
mother, Comtesse de Trobriand, was
Miss Mary Mason Jones, granddaugh-
ter of John Mason, the first president
OF the Chemical National bank of New
York, and the daughter of Isaac Jones,
the second president of this old finan-
cial institution.
The branch of the Post family to
which Regis Post belongs moved from
Southampton to Westbury, L. l., in
1701 and to New York city In 1850
Nearly all of Mr.. Posts boyhood was
spent in Bayport, L. l., where he now
has a home. He was born in New
