The State Sheriffs' association held
its annual meeting in the capitol city
recently, at which time matters affect
ing the sheriffs of the state were dis
cussed and addresses were listened to
from attorneys and judges of note.
Every phase of the new Cosson law
and other bills enacted by the legisla-
ture that pertain to Iowa sheriffs were
discussed but not criticised by Judge
Jesse A. Miller. The judge pointed
out all the differences between the
new and the old statutes, he COM
mended the good qualities of the new
laws, but made little mention of the
bad ones. His talk was exceedingly
interesting to the law enforcers,
1t was decided to start a movement
to modify the law regarding the pay
ment of the salaries of chef deputy
sheriffs. AS the law now is the sheriff
must pay from his own pocket the
salary OF his chief deputy. -. In small
counties where the sheriff draws but
$1,000 and has but one deputy, the
supreme court has held that this one
deputy is chief deputy. This leaves
the sheriff with practically no com.
pensation for his work. An attempt
will be made to secure an amendment
and correction to this law so as to re-
lieve sheriffs of this payment.
The election of new officers of the
association resulted as follows: Pres.
ident, Ben ]. Ness, Polk county; vice
president, Louis Eckhardt, Davenport;
secretary and treasurer, Thomas Nc
Leod. Ida Grove.

The mother started to give 1t bath

Returning to discover why the child

years secretary to the board of trus
tees of the State college at Ames, has
been reelected and continued in that
position by the finance committee OF
the new state board of education

the affairs of the board and has kept

Mr.. Hammond latest move if in
dorsed by the attorney general will be
the most sensational development IN
the fight against liquor in this state
in years. The law guarantees the
right of every man to drink or serve
liquor in his home, but if dealers and
brewers are not permitted to deliver
to him the obstacles in the way of
securing his beer or wine will be so
great as to become almost prohibitive.
Hundreds of families in cities where
liquor is sold depend upon the brew
cry wagons or the wholesale dealer
to supply their tables with beer and
wine. The practice of calling up a
brewery and ordering a case of beer
has become exceedingly common, and
breweries spend large sums advertis.
ing their wagon service. More bottle
beer is sold and transported direct TO
the homes or consumers than is drunk
over the bars of Iowa saloons, say the
dealers.
Mr.. Hammond's Interpretation of
the law, which is declared to be clear
on this point, would prohibit the car
rying of liquor by any teamster or
delivery service as we'll as by brewery
wagons or those of wholesale liquor
dealers. The man who wants a case
Of beer will be obliged to go down
town and cart it home himself.
Since the crusade has been started
by Hammond for strict compliance
with the law, several cafes and hotels
in Iowa have ceased the serving of
liquors to their guests until the cues.
ton is finally and definitely settled.
