Every saloon in this county is
now closed. Old settlers say this is
the first time that Grundy has been

loon people have been fighting for
many years to bring about the condi-
tons we have now. They believe

hae the dry conditions now and
they should remain until the teces-

November. II the county remains
dry until that time and there is no

that If it nested in March the young

ENTRY OF JUDGMENT

The fluctuations of litigant In
seeking to obtain review of de-
cision against him are rehearsed by
the supreme court OF Iowa in Puckett
VS.. Guenther. 100 Northwestern Re-
porter. 1913. On April 5, 1905, plaintiff
obtained verdict against defendant. On
the 2eth of the following month. an
order for Judgment was entered. On
July 10, 1905. defendant. perfected an
appeal, which appellee asked to have
dismissed, on the ground that no
judgment had been entered Of record
at the time the purported appeal was
taken. In proceedings then had in the
trial court 1t was determined that
judgment was really entered UP in the
records on Oct. l. The appeal from the
Judgment on the merits was thereupon
dismissed as being premature. There
after attention of the trial court was
called to the fact that Oct. /, 1905, fell
on Sunday. An order was then en-
tered reciting the entry Of judgment
on Oct. g Plaintiff appealed from this
order. The supreme court held that the
Judge had authority to make the Sec
ond correction OF the record, and also
decided that the entry Of Judgment
was not a judicial act, and would not
be void, even. IL 1t were entered on
Sunday. 1t is presumed that the de-
feated defendant will now be able to
get the appellate court to pass on the
merits of his case

A DEFENSE OF TAFT.
CCrestnn AdvertiseYl

William Howard Taft is just as
good a man as he was year ago.
just as strong, just as honest just as
sincere, just as able, just as devoted
to the cause of good government.
But there are republican newspapers
in Iowa which were lauding him to
the skies a year ago and claiming
that the faction they belonged to
were the only real friends he had IN
the state. which are now declaring
that he has sold out to the inter-
ests" that he has betrayed the peo-
pie. that he has failed to keep his
promises, that he has been corrupted
or has not the intelligence to realize
when he is hoodwinked. And others
which are not so bold and outspoken
in their denunciation sheer at and be-
little the president on every occasion.
The people, however, have conf
dence in Taft.

Important Decisions
TELEPHONE CHANGES

In Railroad Commission Of Louisiana
VS.. Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Company, 20 supreme court re-
porter $50, the company attempted to
enjoin the enforcement Of rates fixed
by the commission as confiscatory and
unreasonable. The court below held
the commission were void, because
they were not established on investi.
cation as to their sufficiency, but by
merely arbitrary conjecture. The
commission investigated the COM
plants made as to rates, and made q
careful examination OF the complain
ants returns to the commission.
These returns showed generally the
character and operation Of the. bust
ness OF complainant, its income, OPP
Grating expenses, and investments in
Louisiana. The commission, after ex-
aiming them. issued an order to
show cause why its rates SHOULD not
be decreased, and on the final hearing,
on the return Of the order to show
cause, took into consideration the
statement presented by the complain
ant on the return of that order, and
also the statements or returns previ-
ously filed by the company. The I'm
ited States supreme court says the
commission may have come to mis-
taken conclusion by reason Of erron-
eous 1nferences from the evidence;
but that is far from showing that 1t
had, by an arbitrary order, promul-
gated rates without making efforts to
obtain knowledge upon the subject. II
did not lose jurisdiction by reason OF
the mistakes 1t may nave made, and,
as result, the rates adopted were not
merely arbitrary conjectures, must DO
regarded as prima facie and valid, and
the onus was upon the complainant
to show that they were otherwise.

WOES OF A WET SEASON.
TConrad Racard

The poor galoot in town with an
acre of gracefully sloping lawn
and dear little garden patch has been
having the time of his life this season
galloping around between showers
wrestling with the weeds and moving
the ever growing grass. We never
thought that grass could grow as fast
and make good hay, but we have had
our eyes opened as well as the pores Of
our skin. A dwarf brand of grass that
would never grow higher than a couple
of inches and look bright and cheerful
all the time is what would appeal to us
just at this writing.
