POWER OF ago, says LaFozzette's
CORPORATIONS Magazine, Judge David
AND D. r. MORGAN. Davis predicted that this
country would be some
time in absolute control of corporate COM
binations. He said:
'"The rapid growth of corporate power and the
malign influence which it is beginning to exert
on the national and state legislatures, is a we'll
grounded cause of alarm. A struggle is coming in
the future between this overgrown power on the
one hand and the people, in an unorganized con-
diton, on the other for the control of the gov
eminent 1t will be watched by every patriot with
intense anxiety. This condition of things is truly
alarming, for unless it be changed free institu-
lions are doomed to be subverted by an oligarchy
resting upon a basis of money and of corporate
power"
And every man who cast ballot to send
back to Congress the men who are aiding this
thing to come to pass, seems blind to the con-
dltlons which must result. The war of the
dollar will be ragged always, but when man,
armed with ballot, will refuse to use it, as
has been SO clearly demonstrated in the recent
primaries, Judge Davis prophecy will come
true and j. P. Morgan and his interests will
be the power governing of these United
States. Our tariff is one of the Infamous
blots on our civilizations; through it the cost
of living is higher than it has ever been when
war and famine stalked the land. And Geor-
gia is sending back to Congress some men who
upheld the tariff, and who have thereby ex-
pressed themselves as willing to aid j. P.
Morgan to dominate the industries of these
United States.

there is a deeper interest felt by many who
looked only on the moral side of the ques-
ton. The great ma jority of people who have
studied the matter agree that prohibition does
not and cannot prohibit the sale of whiskey
and other intoxicants until interstate traffic
is in effect; this would bring on "states'
rights" talk and argument, and is not pos
sible. A recent report from the Internal Rev
enue Bureau proves, strange as 1t way appear,
that the consumption of liquors in the United
States is on the increase; here's an interesting
little paragraph from the report:
"The reported consumption of domestic spirits,
including the product of fruits as we'll as OF
grains is for 1900, 95651,39 gallons and for
1910, 128,657,776. In the same time the i'm
ports of spirits have increased from 1,7o5,46S
gallons to 4,262,421 gallons. Consumption OF
fluids classed as fermented liquors has Increased
from 39,33O,S49 barrels in 1900 to 59,485,177 in
1910, SO per cent.
More or less facetious remarks are being
made by the anti prohibition element as to
the stimulating effects of prohibition. The
figures prove an interesting item to the ants,
which is: No state has gained very much,
either morally or financially, since the wave
of prohibition struck the country. Humanity
seems able to enjoy it's liquor better in "dry'
states, DV drinking IL dU nome OIL dU Cllo CIuU,

Recently there has been growing sentiment
among the German people for a more liberal
form of government. The Kaiser has always
been martinez, not only in the military af-
fairs of the empire, but in it's political affairs
also. The national trend of the times is to-
wards liberalism, and the conservative ee-
ment has had hard time backing up the die
tatorial policy of the Emperor. He cannot
ignore the popular demand for Germany to
become a constitutional state, and his recent
speech of the Emperor has made the Social
Democratic party happy. The Togebzatt

Two Severe Accidental Falls.

Con Sullivan, the carpenter, is
laid up with broken leg, and
James Bresnahan, residing at the
west edge of town, is recovering
from very severe bruises, which
thy received in falls from buildings
last week. They were different
mishaps. Mr.. Sullivan was at work
completing the roof on Dan Will
liams' new barn sheds Saturday and
a misstep precipitated him to the
ground ten feet below. He evil
IDENTIFY fell heavily on his left foot
ankle and bad fracture resulted
which will lay him up all winter.
IL is a bad accident for hard
working poor man to sustain and
his mishap evokes much sympathy.
y Mr.. Bresnahan was out in Hano-
yer township Thursday assisting MS
brother Michael in shingling new
barn. He slipped from the ROOF ana
fell from a height of nearly 80 rect.
He was picked up UNCONSCIOUS ana
was believed at first TO be fataliy
injured. No bones were broken
but he was sorely bruised and he
also sustained severe scalp
wound. His escape from death is
deemed most fortunate. He was
able to be brought home in the
Murphy auto Sunday. A year ago
his brother sustained a broken leg
in a fall at the same place.-Wau"

Boy Struck by Auto.

Linford Cuffel, the II year old
son of Michael Cuffel of Waverly,
was badly injured by being run
over by an automobile driven by
John Oltrogge. The boy had been
riding on the steps of bus when
he stepped off and started to run
over to the sidewalk. Mr.. Oltrogge
was driving his automobile in the
opposite direction and did not see
the boy until he was almost upon
him. The boy was knocked down,
falling between the wheels. In
falling, his head struck the pave
ment, badly bruising his face and
cutting an ugly cash in the side of
his head. He was taken to the hos
pital where he remained unconscious
for more than an hour. He also
had several slight hemorrhages, in
dicating that he is injured internally
also. His recovery is said to be
doubtful. No blame is attached to
Mr.. Oltrogge.

Sugar Factory Opens.

Iowas only beet sugar factory,
which is located at Waverly, opened
the season last week. The tonnage
of beets will be $4,000, of which To-
per cent were grown in Bremen
county. The beets are testing high
this year in sugar. and it is expected
that the sugar output will be 81
100000 pounds. The energy to run
the machinery will be furnished by
oil and coal. 1t will require 1000
tons of coal, but no estimate can be
made on the oil as it has not been
used extensively before. To clarity
the sugar will require 125 cars of
stone. The factory will be in oper-

about three miles west of Hawkeye,
was found dead Tuesday morning
in a watering tank near the house.
The lady was 81 years old and had
been in bad health for some time.
She was also subject to dizzy spells.
