rooster, do you know what would
have happened If Major Lacey had
not run for United States. senator in
Iowa? We will tell you once. Enough
democratic members of the legislature
would have been elected to have Civ
en- the office to Claude Porter, a dem
ocrat. While Major Lacey could not
expect to be elected under THE con-
dttions, he was patriotic enough to
help keep the party together at a
large expense to himself.
Don't you ever believe such a tale
as that. Even in the very locality
where the Independent is, published
we have serious doubts if a majority
Of the voters would have cast their
ballot for a democratic legislator
rather than vote for A. B. Cummins
The fact of the matter is that there is
serious doubts if Major Lacey expected
to win out in the contest, but more
likely he was induced to enter the race

sacrificial in order to keep the party
together, there is serious question
as to some Of the opponents to Mr.
Cummins caring a rap whether the
party Is ever united again or not
Their attitude during the time Of the
extra session Of the legislature and
the attacks upon the successful cam
didate at the November primary does
not indicate that the matter Of
united party was uppermost in their
minds or even thought Of by the anti
Cummins faction.

THE RETURN OF PROSPERITY.

Prosperity had a severe set back
year ago. The panic made trouble and
in many places hard times We in
Iowa and the Trans-Mississipp failed
largely to realize this, for prosperity
never left us. There was for time
anxiety and predictions of disaster but
confidence and the crops held and the
panic was but a f1utter among the per-
sons and interests closest to the farms.
In the greater manufacturing and trade
centers thousands failed of employ
ment, building business was suspend
ed and many manufacturing plants
idle or badly crippled. Now the trade
journals, watchful of the state Of the
entire country and especially watchful
Of the great centers are announcing
an unmistakable revival of business,
genuine recovery general in its scope
and steady resumption of normal ac-
tivity not boom but a growth which
needs only to be left alone to increase
in steady volume.
If we look for the quarters in which
recovery is most pronounced we find
it in the building and engineering
trades. This was to be expected, ex-
plains the Trades Reviewer. A great
MANY important enterprises were in
course of construction or about to be
initiated when the panic came. These
works. moreover, we're very urgent in
their character owing to the rapid
growth of our great cities. Congestion
of traffic and the great demand for
new homes and office buildings made
MANY of these enterprises imperative.
The great pressure upon the railroads
for better terminal facilities and great
er carrying capacity is already an old
story: and their excessive demands
upon the money, market in 1907 was no
doubt one Of the elements which
brought on the financial crisis that for
nearly year paralyzed all industrial
pursuits.
With easier conditions in the money
market and with a gradual revival of
finance, these activities are being
gradually resumed; and now that the
last element of uncertainty, the presi-
Dental election, has disappeared the
chief shackles upon industry have been
loosened. Another very important aid
to resumption has been the decline in
raw materials. High costs Of produe-

PATRIOTISM. NOT PORK.

| We are told by dispatches that Mr..
| Cannon. secure in his expectation of a
! renewed term of power as speaker Of
| the house. has given notice that con-
| servatism in expenditure Of money, es-
pecially as regards the policy and .prac-
tice of conservation of natural re-
sources, is to be the order of the day.
While his announcement may be taken
that unless he and his get what they
consider as coming to them, the adj
minstration will get much less than 1t
hopes and expects for it's pet policies,
there is considerable to commend Itself
in the speakers note Of care and
economy in expenditure.
The policy of conservation is one APP
proved by the people generally. The
public mind is awakened to the need
of it. The reclamation projects, the
plans for preserving forests and grow
ing more timber, etc, have the stamp
of popular approval. We are willing to
spend money in improvements but 1t
does not follow that we will submit
to raids on the treasury under the
guise of conservation.
The conservation acts whatever they
may turn out to be when congress gets
thru with them should not be submit
ted to the log rolling process. When
money is to be appropriated it is nat
ural that congressman should apply at
the pork barrel for the benefit OF their
sections, states and DISTRICTS. This has
come to be regular order of pro-
cedure under our system of electing
congressman in reward of services
that have brought a new public build
ing or slice of any sort from the
pork barrel to an eagerly Watchful and
wishful district. If the conservation
policy is to be killed, no better way
could be devised than for each section
to set up an insistent clamor for Its
share of the pie cutting. Perhaps its
enemies have already settled on this
plan for it's destruction.
1t will be great pity and an i'm
mense loss if the appropriations which
may reasonably be expected for con-
servation should be the signal for an
orgia about the pork barrel The OPP
portunity to do a great work for fu-
ture posterity is open and at hand. 1t
should be approached with judgment
and handled in patriotism.

A UNIQUE CASE.

Chicago does things occasionally
when it can't help it. Just now she
has sent self-confessed and convicted
forger over the road within few
plete and he is making brooms at Jol-
let. To be sure he insisted on going
at once. He was caught with the goods,
saw no escape and wished to get 1t
over as soon as he might. So he was
in prison before the ink on the last
forgery had time to dry.
The case opens up a field for spec
ulation' and guess work. 1t is so COM
pletely unique. Generally he would
have fought thru a dozen courts a
dozen times until the public had for
gotten him and his crimes and the cred
itors were willing to accept a small
portion of the loot In compounding the
offence, to the disappearance of prin-
cipal witnesses or any Of the ways
common to the escape Of the guilty.
One is inclined to surmise that Van
Vlissengen must have spent all the
money he gained nefariously and had
nothing left to pay for defence. Other
wise the criminal lawyer would scarce
ly have stood quiescent under an
innovation SO destructive to the BUSH
ness of his particular branch of the
profession. Perhaps. perhaps after hav-
ing deliberately stole million there
came awakening of the conscience.
Possibly he has the loot carefully
planted and Is anxious to get thru the
mill of the gods and get out to enjoy
1t. Who knows? The case is so I'M
common as to defy ordinary reasons
and deduction.
The satisfactory fact remains that he
is In the penitentiary making brooms.

AS TO "AMALGAMATlON."

Judge iMcHenry at Des Moines yes
equally commend him to the public
when he declared that in his court the
white man who assaulted a colored
woman should receive the same meas
ure OF punishment as for assault upon
white woman and denounced the in
termarriage Of whites and negroes.
The judge will find the Iowa public
in full accord with him on both propo-
sitions. That colored woman has the
same right to protection against lust
full brutes as those of our own race
goes without assertion. In Iowa crime
must meet its penalty and the law pro-
tect without respect to color, race or
condition. Let US keep the law supreme
in Iowa.
But we need another and stringent
statute prohibiting intern marriage of
the kind condemned by the Judge 1t is
needless to argue the case. Sufficient
and satisfactory reasons will occur to
all Of us why such marriages should
be prevented. There are not many such
made In this state. There
should be none1 The white man or

held that out Of place. disagreeable,
and offensive tho they are, both to
civic pride and aesthetic taste, the ulti-
mate fact remains that no authority
now exists which will justify the legal
conclusion that the signs constitute

In suit to restrain one from using

refused to admit evidence as to their
details or cross examination with ref

case was to afford adequate protection
to secret, If any disclosure of it was
required. It Is essential that before,
one can be enjoined he must know ex-
actly what he is forbidden to do. In

Atlantic Reporter, 266, 1t appeared that
one who was employed as "greaser,"
while being transported by his en-
.ployer to his place Of work was in
jhred by derailment Of the car. On
the ground that he had paid his fare
with ticket given by the company,
and that he was going to his work,
1t was contended that he was not
passenger. The supreme judicial court
of Maine held that he has paid for the
ticket by his services; that it was part
of his wages and delivered to him as
such; that it could make no difference
in his status as a passenger whether
he paid his fare in cash or in tickets
thus earned.
