HE PRINTERS LEAGUE
 AND THE ]. I. U.
A Plea for Cooperation by the Two
 Organizations.

Boston, Aug. 12.-The attitude of the newly formed printers league, an as sociatiOn of employers, toward labor. was laid before the International Ty- geographical Union convention today by Charles Francis, of New York, presi dent of the league.
 The convention continued it's work today by adopting a change in bylaws which aims at putting foremen in union printing shops under stricter rules regarding the discharge of men.
 After receiving urgent invitations for the convention next year be held at St Joseph, Mo, Seattle or Minne- apolis, the convention postponed a de- cisiOn until tomorrow.
 In his address today which occu- pied nearly the entire session, MT. Francis said the newly formed printers league seeks peace and harmony, and favors unions, settlement of troubles by arbitration and discourages strikes and lockouts. He urged cooperation and said he hoped that next year the two organizations would hold their convention simultaneously in adjoin ing halls.
 The convention adjourn until tomor- row.

 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.

THE VARIOUS GUESTS
 OF THE PRESIDENT
He is Still Taking No Part in the New York Fight.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 12.-Guests at Sagamore Hill today included State Senator John Raines, author of the li- quor license law which bears his name; John Mitchell, whose political activi- ties in behalf of labor in the capacity of manager of the trade agreement de- partment of the national civic federa- tion and Ralph M. Easily chairman of the executive counsel of the same gen eral body.
 Senator Raines came to see the pres ident on a personal matter involving two army officers. Later the senator expressed his entirely personal opinion that the president looked with favor upon the political status of Governor Hughes. but Raines was quick to add that the chief executive was taking no part in the campaign for the re- publican gubernatorial nomination in the New York state campaign.
 The visit of the former president of the United Mine Workers excited con- siderable interest because of the ac- tivity in the national campaign of Samuel Gompers. Mitchell upon leav- ing Sagamore Hill, said politics was not mentioned.
 Easily and he, said Mitchell came to Oyster Bay to invite the president to address the national civic federation at it's annual meeting in New York City, Dec. IA, or sometime about the middle of the month. President Roose- welt did not accept because he was in doubt whether he would be able to keep the engagement if made

The Evils of Drink.
Prof. Hugo. Munsterberg in the Aug
 AFc(HInrafc

(Prof. Hugo. Munsterberg in the Aug
 ust McClure's)
 The evils which are connected with the drinking habit are gigantic; thous- ands Of lives and many more thous- ands of households are the victims every year; disease and poverty and crime grow up where alcohol trenches the soil.
 But is this undeniable fact really a proof Of the wisdom of prohibition? The railroads of the United States injured last year more than one hun dred thousand persons and put out seven thousand hopeful lives; does any sane man argue that we ought to abolish railroads? The stock exchange has brought in the last year economic misery to uncounted homes, but even at the height of the panic no one wanted to destroy the market for in- dustrial stocks. How much crime and disaster and disease and ruin have come into the lives of American youth through women, and yet who doubts that women are the blessing of the whole national life? To say that cer- tain evils come from a certain source suggests only to fools the nasty anni- hilation of the source before studying whether greater evils might not result from it's destruction, and without ask ing whether the evils might not be re- duced, and the good from the same source remain untouched and untam- pered with. Even if a hollow tooth aches, the modern dentist does not think of pulling it; that would be the remedy of the clumsy village barber.

ANTONIO lUG0 ESCAPED
 WHILE SHERIFF SLEPT
The Latter Had Forgotten About a Little Station Along the Line.

Antonio Lugo who was being taken from Phoenix to Florence where he is wanted for burglary committed at Casa Grande gave Sheriff Niece of Pinal county the slip at Gilbert station be- yond Mesa day before yesterday. The sheriff was warned by the office here on leaving with Lugo to keep an eye on him.
 When the train left Mesa, the sher if supposed that no other stop would be made until it reached Florence and he relaxed his vigilance. The train made a short stop at Gilbert's and the Yaqui noticing that his captor had fallen asleep left the train. The sher- if got awake soon after.
 A couple Of travelling men and oth CTS in the car said that they saw the Yaqui leave but they did not think he was a prisoner and so had made no effort to detain him.
 At the earliest moment the sheriff telegraphed back over the line asking that search be made for the man. The only clue that could be obtained was from a gang of men who said that a man answering his description came to them and said something about de- string to keep out of the way of the officers ot the law.
 Lugo is a finished criminal. After committing the burglary at Casa Grande he came to Phoenix and engaged in various acts of small lawlessness in cluding the theft of a coat. It was for trat that he was arrested. Con stable Ivy who made the arrest had a fight cn his hands and was compelled to club his man severely with a gun. It turned out afterward that Lugo thought he was being arrested for the Casa Grande affair. After he had been hammered into submission he asked the officer to shoot him. Short ly after his arrest he was identified as the Casa Grande burglar

fought all rate legislation has de-
court is one of the grounds upon which
urged that the Hepburn rate law was
unconstitutional namely. that the pen
alties are excessive"
But Justice Brewer in another case
Just decided made use of the following
words
1T must be remembered that rail-
roads are the private property of their
owners, and While from the public
character of the work in which they
are engaged the public has the power
to prescribe rules for securing faithful
and efficient service and equality be-
tween shippers and companies, yet in
no proper sense is the public general
manager"
Standing thus alone this view wipes
out of existence all legislation of every
kind affecting the general management
of railroads. 1t is true that the courts
have always regarded railroad property
as private property. And 1t is also
true that railroad property is in
class different from almost any other
property. New railroads have never
been built without resort to the ex-
pedient of loosening a bit of the SOW
ereignty of the state to be used for the
benefit of the companies; in short. the
right OF eminent domain is exercised
for the railroads and to this extent
they cease to be private property.
There need be no fear that we are
on the eve of a revolutionary ruling
by the courts which would put a stop
to all proper regulation of railroads
wants anything else. Posses
sion of the property is private but the
service is public and in so far as the
public does not coniiscate the property
its rules must be obeyed.

Two years ago the standpatters, or
Blythe contingent, were engaged IN
trying to convince themselves that 1T
was a terrible danger if a man should
he kept in office more than four or
five wears when he had shown capacity
and faithfulness.
Then they insisted that Cummins
was very selfish because he wanted to
continue serving the people; now they
think Allison is great patriot for
wanting to stay In office even after
his usefulness is practically at an end.
Then they said that Cummins stood
in the way of party harmony because
he wanted to remain in office and COM
plete the task before him; now they
say nothing about Allison being in the
way of harmony by foisting his can
didacy upon the people.
Then they said Cummins regarded
himself as 1.-THE only man. fit to hold
the office; now they want the people
to regard Allison as "the only man"
who can be senator.
Then they were demanding that
Cummins withdraw from the race be-
cause he had been in office long
enough; now they refuse to demand
that Allison withdraw tho he has been
in office eight times as long as Cum
Minis had then been.
If it was selfish in Cummins to be q
candidate, why is 1t not the same with
Allison? If it was disturbing to have
Cummins remain in office for import
ant work why not the same with Alli-
son? If harmony could only be Sc
cured last year by destruction of the
man who had been in office and was
seeking reelection, why not the same
thing this year7

STATE OR COUNTY UNIT EXPRESSION.

Mr.. George q. Grier, representative
from Poweshiek county and candidate
for denomination, writes that if any
one supposes that his vote on United
States senator will be governed by the
vote of the county unit he is mistak-
en-. Mr.. Grier was member of the
legislature which framed the state
wide primary law and he knows that
there is no room for cavil or argument
over the intent or meaning of that
law. He SAYS that the law provides
for an expression of sentiment of all
the republican voters of the state as
to who the republican members of the
legislature should elect to the United
States senate and he wants everybody
in PoWeshiek county to know that his
vote. IL counted at ali, will be cast for
the candidate who receives the most
republican votes in the whole state. In
this attitude he Is supported by the
public statements Of both candidates
for the senatorship, Governor Cummins
having expressed it as his interpreted
ton of the law and Senator Alllson
having done the same.
If any other Interpretation were put
upon the law it's provisions as to I'm
tied States senator would become FAR
cical. For instance there were thirty
two democratic members in the last
house of representatives from districts
which cast anywhere from $500 to
5000 republican votes each IL the vote
of the county unit were to govern
republican members the votes of S0.-
900 republicans would have no voice
in the selection Of United States
senator Likewise in many a repre-
sentative district the republican vote
is much larger than in another and IL
the county were the unit the large vote
would have no more voice than the
small vote, lust as the considerable
vote in democratic district would
have no voice at all
The primary law was intended to
approximate as near as possible cleo
ton of United States senators by direct
vote of the people and its purpose IS 70
record the majority sentiment of all
the republicans in the state OF Iowa
as instructive to the republican mem
hers Of a legislature and the majority
sentiment of all the democrats in the
state of Iowa as instructions to the
democratic members of the legislature.
A member NAV violate the instruction
and keep out of the penitentary but
he can hardly do SO and stay in pol
itics. In this respect the voters of ev-
ery county should ascertain the attl-
tude of every candidate seeking nom
nation for legislative position. lie
shouId be made to declare whether he
intends to obey the primary law as AL
l;son and Cummins and the members
of the legislature which enacted it in
terpret it. or whether he intends to
eyade the law by standing for the
county unit expression. The voters OF
Hardin county might begin first.
