EASTERN CATTLE BARRED.

Governor Warren Garst has issued
8 proclamation prohibiting the i'm
portation into the state of all animals
from the states of New York, Mary
land. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Michigan unless they have been in
spected by the state veterinarian and
pronounced all right This is because
of the foot and mouth" disease
spreading among cattle in those
states. He has further placed ban
on any railroad car used for shipment
of cattle in those states being sent
into Iowa unless it has first been
thoroughly fumigated.
This action was taken upon recon-
mendation of State Veterinarian Paul
Koto, who has pronounced the disease
raging in those states a very fatal one
to cattle AS yet no signs of the dis
ease have been discovered in Iowa, but
the ravages OF it are so great it has
been deemed expedient by the govern
or to take the precautionary step he
has TO protect Iowa stock.

that Jclln Mitchell should have per-
mitted himself to become party to
such defiance of the law. Gompers
is a firebrand, but Mitchell has had
the reputation of being level headed
and law abiding citizen.
There was really nothing to gain for
the American Federation of Labor In
its attempt to defy the law. The boy
colt against the stove company was
small affair, from purely commercial
point of view, and the cause of labor
would not have suffered much If the
injunction had been obeyed until 1T
had been reviewed by the court of last
resort. 1t is supposed that the open
defiance of the law was decided upon
in the first place as a political move,
with the idea of accentuating the de-
mand of tae labor leaders that con-
tempt cases should be determined by
jury trial.
They made demand of this kind in
this particular case, but when Alton
B. Parker came to cirque the matter
before the court he at one admitted
there was no possible excuse for a
jury trial in such case. and MS ,.rgu-
ment was accordingly directed chiefly
to question of the facts and to the suf-
ficiency of the original injunction.

The TRAEElc in GIRLS.

Trolley VS.. Canal.

Abba Tribune: Congressman Hull
yesterday introduced a bill providing
for survey of the Des Moines river
from Keokuk to Fl Dodge. and the
bill will probably pass. He wants to
remain in congress long enough TO
secure an appropriation to dredge the
stream and make it navigable, and ii
is not impossible that his wants will
be gratified. Before this improvement
Is started on it would be gratifying
to the people of the state to know
what would be the cost of a trolley
line from Keokuk to Ft. Dodge. til
sufficient power plants to operate it
The trolley lines would supply service
every day in the year, the canal would
supply service less than half the time
and at time when least needed.

An idea in the way of arriving at
nearly the exact cost of q public
Improvement possessing the advantage
of novelty has been suggested by the
Improvement Bulletin of Minneapolis,
which reaches out and covers the
northwest pretty effectively. 1t sug-
gests that the city should enter bids
upon city work in competition with
contractors as a means OF regulating
prices. and further states that this
plan has been adopted at different
points. The plan is for the city en-
gineer TO make bid upon city work
with view TO carrying it out by day
labor and ii the bids or contractors
are higher than those of the city en-
gineer the latter gets the work. The
plan works well, it states, wherever it
has been tried.

Lawyers Think Judgment Just.

Gompers. Mitchell cnl Morrison
chose to defy an order of the court
forbidding them to do a particular
thing. Their case is exactly parallel
to that of a corporation. say, for in
stance, street car company. which,
forbidden to lay tracks in certain To-
cality, defied the order of the court.
There is no doubt that the street car
officials would be brought up to the
bar and sent to Jail sumaarily, wheth-
er an appeal against the original
injunction was pending or not.
For this reason lawyers, government
officials and members of congress are
united in the belief that the Judgment
against the three labor leaders is an
entirely just one and that they have
wilfully put themselves in a position
where they must be treated as law
breakers because to do otherwise
would invite universal defiance OF the
courts and condition of social, COM
mercial and political revolution. result

boiled shirts, tailor-made suits and

clothes that constantly remind them

Cedar Rapids Republican The new
warden at Fort Madison is doing soma
queer things down there, as well as
uttering queer thoughts The worst
thing about him seems to be a senti-
mentalism that is mawkish. His re-
cent criticisms of the courts which
are cruel enough TO send men TO the
penitentiary. is the freshest thing that
has been offered TO the public. Il
takes a vel balanced man TO be \
warden We are afraid that the new
warden is not that kind of a man. He
thinks the criminal is much sinned
against. IF. some night. he had been
overtaken by man with gun in his
hand, hold-up man or burglar
ready TO murder him, he might be
able 10 take a better balanced view of
the criminal Even the public has
some rights that wardens ought to re-
spect in their ESSAYS" In the mean
time his employers. the state board of
control. ought 10 impress the new
man with the fact that no one man in
ten thousand is falsely imprisoned.
The courts are so full of opportun-
tiles for men TO defend themselves
that man who deserves 10 go to jail
is more apt TO escape than q man who
does not deserve to go is of convic-
ton
The warden's theories about boiled
shirts and tailor-made suits for con
yicts. no doubt with pie three times a
day. are not in consonance with com
mon sense. II they would not trans
form the penitentiaries into SUNDAY
schools. they might at least convert
them into elegant club houses. Il
won't do. and IT viii never become the
vogue in Iowa
