A Big, Fine Magazine Full of Good
Things.

So many alluring books are
brought out in the autumn that
magazine publishers-wise ones
make extra efforts to improve their
fall numbers in order to keep their
share of the attention of the read
ing public. One of the October
magazines gotten out by wise pub
fishers is LiRbincoHs, which is suf-
ficiently meritorious to hold its own
with the most fascinating of the
best sellers.
The complete novel is "Melis-
sy," tale of Cowboyland as it is
to day. The author is William
Macleod Raine, who also wrote
"Ridgway of Montana, Any one
who reads one of Mr.. Raine's
Western tales can have no doubt
that he has actually lived in that
country and acquired his local
color at first hand. "Melissy" is
the pretty daughter of a crusty but
really good hearted Arkansan who
has moved Westward. Through
Carelessness he loses a mine, which
becomes the property Of an eX.city-
man who has incurred the enmity
of the cattle-men by daring to
bring sheep into what they have
considered their territory. Some
dramatic scenes take place ere the
charming little heroine and her
manly lover are SO placed that one
can safely prophesy that "they
lived happily ever afterward." "
There is unique short tale by
Olivia Howard Dunbar, called
"The Diminisher OF DOOM" Jane
Belfields Zone Leg to Go On" is
a striking little story with moral
which some readers might profit.
ably take to heart. Five Colo
quies," by Edward Lucas White,
is war sketch of much merit.
"Breakfast-aud a Lady" by
Wood Levette Wilson; "Mutatis
Mutandis," by Clifford Howard;
For Jimmy" by Eleanor H.
Porter, and "The Pinnacles of
Fame" by Hopkins Moorhouse,
are other short stories alike only i'll
being good.
There are two special articles,
one of them The Theatres New
Rival" about moving picture
shows-by Day Allen Wiley; and
the other "The Layman Art
Lover" by Jane Dearborn Mills
Short pieces in this line by Frank
M. Bicknell, Amos D. Burhans,
and Warren Barton Blake, go to
make up the always interesting de-
partment ways of the Hour"
and Thomas l.. Mason contributes
two noteworthy little sketches en-
titled "Politeness" and THE Great
White Way"
Other contributions are by

As it's readers are aware the Far naer has several times expressed a be- lief that MT. LilIey's ambition to be- come Governor was prompted by de- sire to succeed Bulkeley in the Senate It is now announced that he is afield, and we can understand why he is talk ing extraordinary and expensive means to popularize himself with the mem bers of the General Assembly. Gov Iilley has proved himself a keen pol itician, one illustration being found in his vigorous advocacy of a Public Util- ities commission at the very time when his party was packing the Senate against it.
 Hon. A. W. Paige is also said to be a Senatorial aspirant, as he was in a previous contest. He has been practi- calIy out of politics for some time, but can still exercise much influence if he so chooses. Other candidates will, if they class him as negligible quanti- fy. find themselves in grave and per- haps fatal error.
 At the present time, it looks like Bulkeley against field which includes Mclean, Hill, Lilley, Brooker and Paige. Unity of the field upon one of their number would so equalize chan ces that even the Bulkeley barrel might prove ineffective

Railroad Aragnate Hartman is said to be contemplating a descent upon the railway systems of New England. He is already a power in all other sections and also in Mexico, with possibilities reaching into South America, and his ambition seems to lack limits. Pre- cisely what form his descent upon New England may take is not yet known. He is director in the N. Y. Central which controls the Boston & Albany, and rumor says he is looking greedily at the Boston & Maine which is now understood to be under the control perhaps by proxy-of a Meriden man. So far as known, he does not yet covet the New Haven road.

The Pennsylvania Steel Co, which employs 5000 men and is independent of the Steel Trust has ordered a cut of 10 per cent. in wages, to take effect on April 1. Other independent con cerns have taken similar action, and as Mir. Schwab of the Steel Trust says,
 -as steel prices go down, prices of la Dor will fail," it is practically certain that the Trust will also reduce wages.
 The evident purpose is to shoulder most, or all, of the reduction in selling price of the product upon labor, which plan, it successful, would leave the profit at the old figure. Whether labor will submit is a question. As the em
 ployees of the Steel Trust are mostly holders Of its shares, they are expect ed to accept reductions of wages, in which event the employees of the in- dependents must take similar action.

PRESIDENT TAFTs MESSAGE.

The Presidents message to the spe- iaI session of congress is very brief. He declares that present coalitions de- mand tariff revision and that the gov ernment needs more revenue, as there will be a deficit of s:s1oO, ,oeo, 900 by July l. He urges speedy action, suggests That but slight time be devoted to oth- CT matters, and calls attention to his inaugural address, particularly it's rec cmmendation of "one new source of revenue" meaning evidently an inner itance tax
 The message contains mo Roose- valtian pyrotechnics sf

BEGAN AT WRONG END.

The great fact connected with the reform movement undertaken by the Democratic and ''insurgent'' Republi- can members of the House, is that it began at the wrong end of the matter. Speaker Cannon is and has been the moving, potent spirit in the wrongs X complained of. He personified the ob- noxiouss rules. They have withstood disapprova1 thus long only through his fostering care. And he was never lax in his enforcement of their arbitrary character. The House has never had g more non-progresssive, -Bourbonistic member than Speaker Cannon. He has ever been Tout of joint with the tfmes.''
 The Insurgents" and the Democrats should have defeated his candidacy for reelection That it was within their power stands proven by the vote on DalzelIs motion for adoption of the o1dsrules. To assure Cannon's defeat, Democrats should have been willing to elect an insurgent Republican to the chair and the insurgents should have been equally willing to elect a Dem ocrat-whichever way unity in voting Could be best secured. That would have begun the reform at the right end.
 As the contest ended. the .reforners gain several concessions, but the Speaker still retains the power Of con- structing all committees. including the potential committee on Rules. The Democratic resolutions would have placed the control of the Rules com I1ittee in the House itself, instead of the Speaker alone, but they were re- jecfed, 23 Democrats unwfsely voting against thenl- We can find no reason for their action, but one may appear when Speaker Cannon announces the committees. and perhaps another when the. tariff bill is reportedt H,3,l
 The compromise which was, of insur- gent Democratic origin, was adopted by the Republican regulars with the aid of g, Democratic insurgents. Now the question is, will the Speaker re- ward these g Democratic insurgents and punish the 29 Republican insur- gents?
 Probably the question may be ans wered when he announces the com mittee appointments. He is known to be of strongly vindictive disposi- lion- zes3ssfs

Lacroix did not knowingly desecrate and mutilate the flag; the court found that he believed it to be merely a bit of wholly red bunting. He did not know that the men holding it were of fieers, for they were not in uniform. He did not pass through Fairfield un- til 10 minutes after Mir Wallace's death; therefore, he was not one of the four drivers who were racing with mufflers off, and the noise of whose machines frightened the horse and led to MT.

 Then, who were the four drivers who began racing at the Fairfield Library and whose action actually, though in oirectly-caused the death of MT. Wal lace? It should not be impossible to ascertain their names and bring them into court If they are adequately

Ex-President Roosevelt may. if he visits Italy. find even greater dangers there than in Africa. That toast by ''malefactors of great wealth.

TWO CASES REVERSED
Supreme Court Hands Down De.
cisions In Local Suits.

Des MoineS, Feb. 22.-The supreme
court handed down decisions in two
more Mahaska county cases Saturday,
reversing both.
A. l.. Rice, administrator, ct al, APP
pellants, VS.. VIM. |. Rice, ct al; ae-
versed; opinion by Sherwin. The
lower court. decided favorably for the
defendants and the plaintiffs appealed
and the case was reversed in their
favor. ... ...t.....
Lizzie Mcbride VS.. Nancy c. Cald-
well ct al, appellants. Action to es-
tablish title. Reversed; opinion by
Evans. This suit was brought by Liz
zie Mcbride, who claimed TO be the
daughter of deceased son of Sher-
man Garfield who entered the forty
acres of land in the controversy. Sher-
man Garfield died, leaving surviving
him widow and three daughters, and
they made a warranty deed of this
property to A. n. Caldweu in 1867. In
1908, after Mr.. Caldwell and the widow
and three daughters of Sherman Can,
field, all parties to the deed, had died,
the plaintiff put in her claim for
one-siXth interest in the farm, claim
ing that she was an heir of Garfield
and never Joined with the others in
making the deed 10 the land. The ue-
PENDANTS claimed that they had been
in possession of the farm for forty
years and had expended about $4,000
for improvements thereon. and thai
if the plaintiff had any claim it was
too late to make it known, as she had
been living near the farm ever since
childhood, 1t was also shown by the
defense that her father had received
9, settlement for his share Of his faith
ers estate while he was yet living
and that in fact Lizzie Mcbride had
no equity in the farm. The lower
court held that the plaintiff should be
given her interest in the property and
the defendants appealed to the SUI
preme conrt and the Judgment of the
lower court was reversed and the title
of Nancy C.Caldwell ct al was cleared.
Attorneys for plaintiff were Mccoy &
Mccoy and John o. Malcolm: and for
the defendants. Irving c. Johnson.
