SUPREME COURT
REVERSES CASE
DAMAGE CASE AGAINST The BOYS STORE
REVERSED BY HIGHEST TRIBUNAL.
THERE WAS NO NEGLIGENCE
Court Decides Pisgah Damage Suit in -ayor Of
The Deaison Merchants. Were Not to
Blame for Accident.

The supreme court Of Iowa has just
handed down decision which is of
great Importance to the well-known
Denison merchants, Pfarr, Gebert &
Hunt. In May 1907 the wife of Lee
]. Chapman and three children were
burned to death as result of an ex-
plosion from can Of supposed kero-
sene sold by the Boys Store at Pisgah,
Iowa. The first case arising from
the accident was one in which Lee
sued for the loss Of the services of his
wife. He was awarded $4,000 damages
and Judge Thornell set the decision
aside as excessive. The next suit
was for fifty thousand dollars for
loss of services Of the wife and chill
dren and personal injuries. The ver-
dict was for $21OO. 80 against the Den
ison firm. from this decison appeal
was taken with results as above. The
contention of the counsel for the de-
fense, Shaw. Sims & Kuehnle, was
that due precaution had been used and
this position seems to have beer
sustained by the court.
A case against the Standard Oil
Co. arising out Of the same accident
has been settled for s6 900. It ha,
always seemed to US that the State
Of Iowa was responsible for this fear
full accident. The barrell was in.
spected by the state and bore its o.
K. This stamp should be protec
tion alike to retailer and consumer
and IL it is not the state ought to be
held responsible.
While sympathizing with the be
reaved husband the people of Denisor
will rejoice that the Denison mer
chants have not been mulcted fol
damages for an accident for which
they were in nowise to blame.

WE ABE TIRED OF II.


The death kneli sounded in the
senate on Monday to free lumber to-
gether with the duty fxed on iron
few days ago, in both instances dem
ocratic votes going on record IL favor
Of these duties, mas at least apochry-
phally reopened the question. What
is a democrat"
Now this ancient problem is. or
should be succeeded by another one,
What is a protective tariff" as con-
tradistinguished from a tariff for rev.
enue only and # should be settled
right now Certain strong democratic
papers in the south are roundiy scor-
ing Senator Bailey and sixteen other
democrats because they voted for
tariff duty. Of twenty five cents per
ton on iron ore and against the dem
ocratic doctrine Of free raw mate
rails
Now what is a protective tariff?
Twenty five cents per ton on iron ore
is about 10 per cent. Is that protec-
tive and did democrats betray their
party by voting for It? And when did
tree raw materials become an old
democratic doctrine2 The greatest
noise about free raw materials has
of late years come from highly pro-
tected makers-of shoes IN the state of
Massachusetts.
1t was for a period of several quad
renniums a repeated article of faith
with the democrats in national con.
vention assembled. in their papers
and on the stump that the ideal thing
was a tariff for revenue only with an
incidental protection. So ii cannot
be denied that an import duty Of %
cents on iron ore just fills the bill--a
tariff for revenue with incidental pro-
lection. Yet we find democratic news
papers and politicians making It
weapon with which TO beat over the
head other democrats whom they do
not happen to like
1t also happens that most Of the
senator's who voted with Bailey ca
the ore and lumber schedules are
from The south Now then, suppose
these beatings over the head should
serve to make democrats as scarce iu
the south as they are in the north
It would be the end Of democracy. For
these and manifold reasons we there
fore insist that before men are to be
accommodated from the party over
the way they vote in congress over
particular tariff item. It should be
settled where the boundary line is To-
Gated, at which precise figure does
tariff duty cease to be for revenue
and become protective.
If we of the south are protection
lists, let us Join the party OF protec
ton. If our walk, talk and CONVEX
sation are to be squared with the
ideas of critics, as It SENS, then let
them formulate and promulgate the
distinction and the difference and
mark the dead line, And further, let
it be done by undisputed authority,
Due notice is given that nothing but
a genuine, effective dead line will keeps
southern democrats quiet in their
demand for fair play, and maybe not
that.
