Council Bluffs, Aug. 27.-What Is
said TO be the only case of it's kind
ever brought in an Iowa court, was
decided today by Judge Q. D. Wheel
er, in the district court who held that
Rachel Baker. widow of the late John
Baker. was not entitled to an allow.
ance from the property left by him.
The court held that the property had
been disposed of by joint will en-
tered into by Baker and u former wife.
that the will was irrevocable after the
death of one of the parties, and that
~ Joint Will was not contrary to the
Iowa law.
Joint Wills are in themselves exceed
ingly uncommon. while the conditions
that arose in the Baker will are, so
far as the state of Iowa is concerned,
unique
John and Harriet Baker. who made
the joint will, We're each possessed OF
separate lands. In the will each devised
to the other life estate in the lands
50 owned, with the remainder to GER
tain named heirs. After the death OF
Mrs. Baker, the will was admitted to
probate as her will. Baker was APP
pointed administrator, and took pos
session Of the life estate in the lands
of his deceased wife. in accordance
with the terms of the will.
Some time after Harriet Bakers
death, Baker married Rachel Baket
and lived with her until his death, last
January The joint will was admitted
to probate as his will, but Rachel Ba-
ker filed an application for an allow
ance for her support during the year
of administration. The administrator
of the estate resisted the application,
on the ground that the widows claim
was precluded by the terms of the
will, and in Judge Wheeler's decision
this contention was upheld.
Judge Wheeler presented a lengthy
opinion in the matter, holding that
after the death of the parties the joint
will was irrevocable. ut does not re-
quire the citation Of authorities" SAID
the court ito establish the rule that
one who procures the execution of a
joint will making disposition or prop
erty to his benefit cannot change such
will after his joint maker has died
The law will not permit to thwart the
plan and purpose Of the joint maker
after the latter's decease and after his
Joint maker can no longer remedy the
situation
While it was argued on behalf of the
applicant, that the will was void I'M
der the section of the code providing,
when property is owned by husband
and wife, the other has no Interest
thereto which can. be subject of con-
tract between them" Judge Wheeler
held that this statute was inapplica-
BILE, on the ground that the will did not
deal with the right of husband or wife
in the property of the other.
"The law recognizes the right of hus-
band and wife to convey property to
the other" said the court in his de-
cision. "Such conveyances have the
express sanction Of our law"

Getting Even-With What?

When n person has wronged an
other, the unjustly injured person is
always, for the time being, on a high
er plane than the one who has done
the injury. The wronged one has not
lost what the other has lost. The
only way to make the loss equal is
for the injured one to "get even. "
Then, in addition to his hurt feelings,
he has the satisfaction of knowing
that he is no better than the other
fellow.
What ar ingenious tempter Satan
is, to persuade us to add injury to
insult unto ourselves! For that is
what getting even" accompanies; it
is lowering ourselves and our stand
ards to the level of the one who has
wronged us. How much better to
help the other to "get even" with the
higher standards which Christ alone
can enable us to hold to: love and

New York City. - Declaring that
the President acted within his rights
in discharging the negro soldiers of

Hough, in the United States District
Court, handed down a decision that
Oscar w. Reid, n of the discharged

term of enlistment. Chase Meilen,
who was employed as counsel for
Reid by 4 group of New England

peal the case to the Supreme Court at

In it's defense the Government had

and Judge Hough's decision not only
overrules the demurrer, but adiudi-
Gates the case in favor of the Govern
