Heat and Power company ct al. plain
tiffs in error, vs. the Idaho Springs In
vestment company ct al defendants in
error, in which the judgment of the dis.
trict court of Clear Creek county was
affirmed. The opinion was given by
Justice Gabbert. The point involved
was whether or not the Seaton Noun
tain company could refuse to furnish
heat to citizens who did not take their
light service as well. The court held
that a quasi-public corporation must
furnish such service - the people re-
quire and that it could not refuse to

New Orleans Picayune Justice Lant

keep When the young woman realized

CORN EXPERTS
Visit Louisiana and Are Surprised and
Well Pleased Unlimited Possibilities

New Orleans Picayune July 20: Louis
lana is now entertaining some of tht
greatest corn kings" of the Unitee
| States. The great corn experts come
from the corn belts of the middle west
ern States, and are the guests of the
Louisiana Meadows Company which i
probably the pioneer company in lanC
] reclamation work.
The party left New Orleans Tuesday
afternoon over the Southern Pacific fot
Lockport, and from that point will GO
over all the holdings OF the Louisiana
Meadows Company The party wa!
personally conducted by Edward Wis.
ner, president of the company.
In the party is David Rankin of Tar
llio, Mo, who has $4,000 acres of corr
land under cultivation. The Funk
Brothers of Bloomington, ILL.,. are also
in the party. They control $4,000 acres
of corn lands and in addition do large
banking business L. B. C1ore of Frank
lin, Ind, the man who paid $500 for a
single ear Of seed corn, is also one OF
the party.
There are also representatives from
the agricultural colleges of Wisconsin,
Iowa Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Mich
igan.
The entire party consists Of corn ex-
perts. They have been told of the great
wealth of the Louisiana reclaimed lands
and have come to the State for the pur-
pose of seeing things at first hand They
want to see if the same methods of cul-
tivation as are used in the North will
work in the corn fields of Louisiana.
They also want to see if the corn grown
in Louisiana will grade" like northern
corn.
In this connection the Northern corn
grower has reduced the corn growing
to a fine art. Certain grades of corn
are grown for corn meal purposes
Other grades are grown to fatten hogs
The kinds of corn are essentially differ
ent. A corn which will put fat on the
back of hog is not corn for the grist
mill.
The travellers are highly qualified to
talk on corn and its cultivation, and they
expect to learn much about the Louis
lana possibilities

w. |. BRYAN "IOLTED.n

w. J. Bryan received a heavy jolt al
the State Democratic Convention O
Nebraska, Tuesday, which takes from
him virtually the leadership of tht
party, which he has maintained for four
teen years. The Democrats of Nebraska
are split on the liquor question and Mr.
Bryan was lined up with the losing side
From now on, Mr. Bryan will be back
number unless he bolts his party, which
some people believe he will do and
which he might do with benefit to Dem
ocratic leadership.-Mansfeld Journal
1t is true that Mr.. Bryan failed in his
fight to restrain the traffic in intoxicants
to county local option as the restriction
limits, while the advocates of township
local option scored by majority, but
this "iolt" will not check Mr.. Bryan in
his fight for county option, the initia-
tive and referendum.
In statement given in Lincoln, Neb,,
for publication, he said
while the failure of the Democratic
convention to indorse county option was
disappointing, still the fight for county
option in the Democratic party has not
been in vain. In the first place, it has
helped to secure the reciaration in favor
of the initiative and referendum in both
parties, and now that all parties have
declared fer it, there is no doubt of the
i - =
necessary amendment being submitted
at the next session of the Legislature.
The work now to be done is to secure
county option candidates in every sena-
torial and representative district. Those
Democrats who favor county option
should turn out at the primaries and
nominate a candidate favorable to coun-
~ option The Republicans in favor Of
county option should be as active in Sc
curing the nomination of Republican
candidates favorable to county option.
County option candidates should be
nominated by all parties in each district,
and | have no doubt that this can be
done in a great many districts"
The Mansfield Journal should ever
bear in mind that Mr.. Bryan can not be
ecIipsed from the national view nor
much disturbed by the jolts of individ-
uals who favor the liquor traffic with
little, if any, restriction.
In this contention, as outlined in this
defeat of Mr.. Bryan. are dangers which
may become aggravated. The all inn
portant issue, which is becoming for
rnidable in the United States, is whether
this country shall be dominated by the
traffickers in intoxicaf1ts.

COUNTRY's GREATEST CURSE
Reaping the Harvest from Extravagant
Living.

Lake Charles American: Two week.
ago one of the best known physicians
in Beaumont disappeared and for a time
no trace of him could be found. His
distracted wife and his friends believed
he had been murdered, but within few
days the wife received letter from him
stating that he was financial failure,
could not make enough money to main
tain his social position, owed more
money than he could pay, and that he
therefore was going away never to re
turn.
The physician had a practice worth
about $1,000 year. He was filling a
useful and honorable place in the com
nltnity, had enough income to live COM
fortably and save money; but the craze
to make a splurge" overcame him. He
never told his wife what his income was
nor how much he owed, but encouraged
her to be extrayagant also. When set
Ting day approached he lacked the re-
quisite nerve to face his difficulties, and
ran away like a coward, leaving his wife
to bear not only the burden of debt but
also Of disgrace.

THE PROPOSED ONE MILL TAX.


It has been announced from Baton
Rouge that the proposed one-hfth Of
one mill tax in aid of Confederate Vet
Grams will be ineffective, owing to an
error in the bill arising at the time of
its engrossmer1t
The General Assembly during its re-
cent sitting provided a constitutional
amendment authorizing the levy of the
tax mentioned This amount is to be
ratified BY a majority vote cast in the
November election. The title to the act
correctly states that the purpose of the
measure is TO levy a tax of one-ffth of
mill on all the assessable property in
the State for the purpose of realizing
funds for the payment to the Confeder-
ate Veterans of the amounts carried in
the constitutional amendment voted by
the people Of the State. The body of
the act, however. says that one-ffth of
mill is appropriated from the State
tax.
Who IS accountable? Who can be held
responsible7
Such carelessness is criminal and there
should be provided such penalty as TO
make such offense impossible.
But the original, as passed by the
Legislature, may be sufficient if tested
to hold enforceable the intent Of the law
makers.
# such carelessness is not checked,
any good bill may be defeated by one
conniying with some empluye in the
enrolment Of some other department Of
the Legislature.

before leaving his home for OsylSa he
caught FIVE grown boil weevils and put

the weevils, and while waiting for the

the last of the five. Mr.. Wall says that
