AT Mitchell before Judge jones
the case of state VS.. Jacob Bujer,
charged with selling intoxicating
liquors, resulted in verdict of guilty.
The articles sold were known Is
"Freemo," Malt Foam" and Lager
ine", slop produced by mailing and
brewing the same as beer only having
per cent of alcohol much less than
beer. In this case Freemo had SO of
| per cent of alcohol, Malt Foam As,
and Lagerine &c per cent of / per
cent. The court instructed the Jury
in effect that the amount of alcohol
was not be considered so long as it
was proved that the liquor did con.
tain alcohol. The dispatch telling of
this case says that it is the first case
of the kind in this state, which is not
true. More than a year ago the same
question was decided in the "Gold
Foam" case in this county, States At
torney Warren being entitled to the
credit of being the first to prosecute
under that Interpretation of the law.
His view was sustained by Judge
Whiting, then circuit Judge. 1t is thus
known how a part Of the present su-
preme court will hold if the case
should be appealed. Our state stat
ute does not place any minimum
amount of alcohol that may be con
tanned in a liquor below which the
liquor may be deemed to be non-in-
| toyicating,

The tanners and some of the manu-
facturers of leather goods appeared
before the committee and asked for
the repeal of tariff on hides. The tar
i'll. on hides has been a great graft for
the beef trust. The protection of the
farmer was the cry used to Justify
and retain such a tariff, but the farm
er 'let the tail go with the hide" when
he sold his "critter" to the local cat
tie buyer, and the latter let it 60
when he shipped to the market. The
trust wae the only one to profit by the
tariff. The farmer gave the hide and
then paid for it again every time he
bought harness or pair of shoes
1t is reported the committee will ia,
vor the repeal.

A SMOOTH SWINDLE.

Another scheme is being worked,
where an alleged inspector examines
the farmers cattle and pronounces
the existence in the herd of tuberculo-
sis. He ventures the suggestion that
the disease is in a very light form and
advises the owner to dispose of the
stock as soon as possible to someone
outside Of the county in which he re
sides. A few days later stock buyer
chances along and purchases the
cattle at price below the market
quotations. the farmer congratulate
ing himself that he has disposed OF
his cattle and saved him from loss,
only at later date to discover that
he bad been the victim of smooth
swindler and that his cattle passed
inspection and were sent TO eastern
markets

Our readers will remember that
several months ago we printed brief
account of ''pure goods" bill that
was being prepared by Congressman
Hull, of Iowa. Mr. Hull introduced
the bill Tuesday. 1t is broad and
provides that it shall be misde-
meanor to manufacture for sale or
transportation initiated articles of
commerce, unless such articles are
branded to show their exact ingredi,
ents. This applies to any article OF
commerce recognized as subject OF
transportation and sale by the rules
of the interstate commerce act. All
mixld or imitation goods would have
to be branded as such. While the
law is broad in its scope, and would
require considerable machinery for
its enforcement, it is good law ana
one that should be placed on the
statute books.

The fire insurance agents will
endeavor to have the valued policy
law repealed or changed. This law
forces the companies to pay the full
loss up to the face of the policy, and
the law is only just. That is what a
man buys insurance for. The fire in
surance companies claim that the law
operates as on inducement to property
owners to over insure their property
and then set fire to it to enrich them
selves at the expense of the company
We see no sound reason in this claim
The companies operate through
local agents who are supposed to
know what they are doing. If the
companies cannot trust their local
agents, they should arrange for more
honest representatives and not ask
for law allowing them to escape just
obligations under the plea of dis
honest representatives. The legisla
ture will hardly dare take back.

income from the land by selling the

HERE is a vast amount of human
nature displayed just now before the
committee on ways and means in the
Investigation being held relative to
the need of revision of the tariff. 1t
seems to be the opinion of nearly
every witness that the tariff needs
changing, but every man with spe-
cial interest wants the tariff revised
so that his own special graft will be
allowed to stand the other fellow
don't need protection for his Infant
industry" In this the tariff and reli.
gaon stand in much the same position.
Did you ever notice that usually the
lines of moral conduct as laid down
or interpreted by an individual are
along that individuals line of great
est resistance? The greater sins are
always embodied in those things
which, by nature, he either abhors, or
fol which he has no desire, and there
fore is bestable to resist. We always
want high tariff on our own short
comings. With all the pressure
brought to bear by the special inter
ests, it will be broad minded com
mittee of statesmen that are able to
present to congress revised tariff
schedule that will do even partial jus
tice to the people of this great and
diversified country.

LAUGHED OUT OF COURT.

These railroads that are contestlng
state 2-cent fare laws should be laugh
ed out of court with their doleful
talk of confiscation and gloomy pre-
dictions of insolvency. What kind of
evidence can they be handing to his
honor? And what rebutting evidence
are the states officials presenting to
the learned court? Do the lawyers for
the Plaintiff offer in evidence the ex-
cursion and special rates SO continu-
ously offered the public that travels
Do the states officials present Them
Do they ask the plaintiffs counsel to
tell the court what revenues come
from those inseparable adjuncts OF
passenger trains. the mail and express
cars?
If the states attorneys do not do
these things they should be replaced
with ordinary folk like W. q. Eggles-
ton, who tells in the current American
magazine how he mind cured rate
maker. He was the Old Man of Il sys.
tenn, bitterly complaining OF the ruin
alton these laws were bringing his
company to; talking just what one
has read in interviews with heads ol
railroads. To him in his car came the
mind curer and asked an attendant tc
bring him lot of folders and special
rate advertisements. The mind curel
was the crazy man. He had lost his
mind pondering on the headlong rush
of railroads to ruin if they could no.
get 3 cents mile for earring folks
The mind doctor did not take these
special trips at cut rates because h'
didn't want to help ruin the rail-
roads"
Then, supplied with the folders and
special-rate advertisements, he went
at the Old Man. He showed him tn.
flaming ads in high priced magazines
''your general passenger agent holler
in for the whole nation to come ant
ride over your roads at less than
cent and half mile" S54 from Chi
cago to Spokane and return, cent

filed the Old Mans mind full O

Then he took up the watering re
sort rates, pulled Northwesterl

from 2.35 down to 1.33 cents miia
and no two rates alike, and distanc

The report comes from Washington
to the effect that the interstate com.

man can say. After the price reaches
the dollar mark on the local market
every cent up means that a break in
the market will be the more severe if
it does come. While we believe a
further advance will take place, it is
too risky to advise our farmer friends
to hold for higher prices. A dollar
is good price for wheat and very
few ever lost money in selling at that
figure.

A PECULIAR situation is liable to
develop in this state in regard to the
temperance movement. Lit Is report
ed and, we think, generally believed
bv the Anti Saloon League manage
ment. that Morrow, the head OF the
prohibition forces, is attempting TO
secure sufficient number OF slgners
to petition to have the county option
bill, recently defeated, again sub
mitted to vote of the people at the
next general election. As Mr.. Morrow
ridiculed this proposed law IN his
sneeches in the recent campaign, u
is not TO be believed for a moment
that he is acting in good faith. 1t is
evidently the intent of the prohlpi'
tion leader to counteract any move
ment the Anti-Saloon League may
make in an effort to secure furthei
legislation by the initiative. VI course
two proposed laws ON temperance
matters at the same time would mee'
