western Reporter, 1880, held that Mrs.
Wenninger could recover her share of
the partnership property, as the con-
tract was an unconscionable one. such
as no one In her senses and not under
delusion would make, and as no honest
and fair minded person would accept.
To uphold such contracts would make
marriage matter of traffic, and would
stimulate marriage procurement in
such degree as to be demoralizing in
its tendency and unhappy in its re-
suits. Altho plainti1 is in pari delicto,

BEEF ON FARM AND RANcH.

David Rankin, the big Missouri
farmer who owns 10000 acres under
cultivation in Iowa and his own state,
and who IS said to be successful be-
cause, among other things, he sees to
it that the fertility of his soil is in
creased, instead of decreased every
year. declares that the day of cheap
beef and pork in this country is past.
His idea is that cheap meat can not be
produced on high priced lands.
Those wtso arc inclined to agree with
this view, viii be pleased to notice an
argument on the other side. The WASH
ington Post illustrates thus: Take a
ranch ten miles square, $4,000 acres.
Uerhaps $4,000 cattle can be grazed on
that territory. 1t will make 1000
farms of $50 acres each, and if the
1000 farmers occupying them know
anything about successful farming,
each one will sell off his place twenty
five bullocks annually, of 1000 pounds
per head, fit for the butcher. That
would be 10o,0 900 beeves against the
$4,000 when the 100 square miles was a
ranch, and they will be better beeves
in every particular, heavier and fatter.
and they ought to bee heaper. Nor is
that all; each bullock would contribute
materially to the fertility Of the soil.
It is nonsense to say that to turn a
grazing ranch into fertile farm will
In any legitimate way advance the
price Of beef"
This illustration and this conclusion
seams to overlook tie fast tas. the
cultivated farm is likely to represent
many times the amount OF invested
capital that the ranch does, and that
this fact alone points very clearly to

Looker-On In Iona

Manning, April 26-The Chicago

GARFELD-AND POLITICS.
Nevada Representative

But what students of politics most
cared about in Mr.. Garfield's observa-
tons was the light he cast upon grow
ing political issues and upon the align
ment to be expected concerning them.
He is regarded-we think justly-as
distinctly personal exponent Of Pres
ident Roosevelt; his position as head
Of the interior department made him,
next to Pinchot, the exponent of those
conservation policies which have been
notably discredited by the Taft ad-
mfnistration, he was a witness before
the Ballinger investigating committee;
and whether his forecast is reliable or
not. # is the best to be had on certain
matters until Roosevelt gets back from
Africa. With such antecedents, Mr..
Garfield addressed the Grant Club. He
discussed corporations in a way that
suited "progressives," and he also ex-
pressed their views as to tariff; but
more emphatica he enforced the
doctrines of conservation of natural
resources, enlarged upon the principles
relating thereto that were developed
by the last administration, urged that
such principles be adhered to, criti-
cised congress for not more expedite
ously legislating upon the subject, and
ignored utterly anything tnal the Iatt
a administration has or has not had to
do with the furtherance OF the subject.
In fact it was not to be discovered
from his speech that there Is any Taft
administration, and the whole subject
discussed was treated as question es-
sentially between the Roosevelt ad-
minfstration and the people. Taken as
a keynote, the speech indicated 1T to
be the Roosevelt plan to take UP the
Roosevelt policies where Roosevelt
left them-and where in fact they still
|remain-and to continue as II nothing
In particular had happened in the
meantime.
People who have been wondering
what Roosevelt would have to say
about Taft have . strong and proper
suggestion. Roosevelt will have moth
ing to say about Taft.

Buried Coffee Kept hot.

During field operations of the Britt
ish troops at Aldershot 1t was desired
to serve hot coffee during the hours
of darkness to the soldiers lying In
the trenches. AS 1t was found impos-
sible to light fires during the night or
early morning for fear Of betraying
the position to the enemy, the coffee
was made in the evening. ana, while
still boiling, was buried in camp ket-
ties with close-fitting lids . few feet
in the ground and slightly packed with
earth. When the pits were opened in
the early morning the coffee WAS
found to be still hot and ready to
serve.

In Missouri, X. &. T. Ry Co Of Texas

porter, S71, the trial judge was the Ia
ther-in-law of the attorney for plain
tiff. Neither the attorney nor his wife,
however, was by name party to the
suit. The constitution and statute or
Texas provides that no judge OF the
district court shall sit in any cause
wherein he may be interested or where
either of the parties may be connected
with him by affinity or consanguinity
within the third degree. AS it was held
in Winston vs. Masterson. q South
western Reporter 76S. that the words
party" and parties" as used in the
abovec lause, are technical words, the
meaning of which is as certainly fixed
as any words in the language, and that
they apply only to those by or against
whom a suit is brought, whether by
law or equity, the court of civil appeals
of Texas held that the trial judge was
not prohibited or disqualified from try

Is THERE PARTY PERIL I'm IOWA?

general election. By a strange coin
cidence, perhaps, all these papers, SO
far as we have observed, are Of stand

Why this consuming fear? Why
should standpatters more than pro-
gressives predict party disaster? There
can be no party loss at the polls eX-
cept as republicans vote the democratic
ticket. In the event Of the nomina-
ton of Carroll, or Hull, or Smith it is
entirely safe right now for any pro-
gressive paper TO guarantee their cleo
ton. Should it be any less a cinch in
case majority of republicans at the
primary polls place in nomination
Garsr, or Prouty, or Byers? If there
is any slaughter of nominees in Iowa
this year standpatters will have to do
the killing, for progressives mean to
vote the ticket. They will do all in
their power to sustain at the primaries
the patriotic attitude Of Dolliver and
Cummins They will exhaust all
their legitimate resources in sending
oppose the AIdrich-Cannon program.
but they will in November stand by
the decision Of the party in June. Is
it possible standpatters have in view
any other course? If not, they need
not view with alarm the call for a
showdown as to whether Iowa repub-
licans are backing Cummins and Dol
liver or Cannon and Aldrich.
