WIN A NOTABLE VICTORY.

"A Des Moines correspondent reports
that: The Iowa board of railway COM
missioners has won a notable victory in
the state court which is the first step
in a proceeding designed for the SUI
preme court of the United States to
decide where the power of the state
begins and where the federal power
leaves off. The victory came in Polk
county in decision handed down by
Judge Hugh Brennan. The action
was instituted against the Milwaukee
railroad company to compel that com
pany to receive cars of coal for ship
ment in Iowa at Davenport without
reloading the freight into one of their
own cars, The railroad commissioners
issued an order directing the company
to accept such cars for transportation
with Iowa. The company refused to
obey and the commissioners commenced
suit in district court to enforce the
order. The railway company in cross
petition asked that the commissioners
be enjoined from enforcing the order.
Judge Brennan overrules the application
for an injunction and holds the
commissioners have right to compel
the company to comply with the order
in question. The railway company
claims the state is without Jurisdiction
and will carry the matter to. the
supreme court of Iowa

JUDGE SMITH NEARLY CON-
VERIFIED.

The Progressive Atlantic Telegraph
publishes the following editorial which
says that Judge Smith is inclined to be
good and is really almost persuaded. +"
The Chicago Tribune of Sunday
again publishes quite an article on
the next speakership and more strongly
than ever intimates that Judge Walter
l. Smith is the logical man to fill
Speaker Cannon s shoes In the supposed
to be-stand-pat state of Ohio sixteen out
of twenty-five congressman have come
out fiatfooted against Cannon and
declared if they are elected they will
vote against him. This is the president s
own state, the stronghold of administra-
ton if the administration has any. The
administration, it may be said however,
is coming over to the side of the people
so rapidly that it need scarcely be
classed as opposed to progressive repub-
licanism any more. No candidate in
the union has been able to see more
quickly the advantage of association
with Roosevelt and people that stand
for Roosevelt principles than has Judge
Smith of Council Bluffs. There is a
strong suspicion the Judge leans more
now toward progressive republicanism
and Roosevelt ideas than he has ever
leaned before-almost enough to be
converted During the recent visit of
Roosevelt in Council Bluffs Judge
Smith was almost constant attendant
of the famous citizen. Later Judge
Smith went back with the company of
admiring friends who visited with the
Colonel in Omaha.

CONGRESSM AN SMITH.

In recent issue, the Atlantic Even
ing News ably discusses and reviews
the career of Congressman Walter /.
Smith, tracing his progress from boy
hood days up to the present time, when
he is enjoying the hearty good will and
well merited esteem of his constituents
in the Ninth district. From the article
mentioned, the following excerpt is
taken:
walter |. Smith is not q rich man,
He began life as poor boy, the son of
poor parents. He gained an education
in the common schools and high school
of Council Bluffs and then taught school
in Pottawattamie county until he earned
enough money to enable him to study
law. He did not have enough to go to
the State university, however and his
alma mater was the law Office of good
old Colonel Daley of Council Bluffs.
He passed the examination then re-
quired and was admitted to practice.
He gained distinction at the bar and
was called to the bench, and from the
bench to congress. He earned every adj
vance which he secured. There was no
royal road to political fortune for him.
He won the spurs he wore There was
10 SILVER spoon, nor Sllueu CTdule, no
plethora of money. nor days of ease. He
came upto his present position, as many
another man has had to do.
His sympathies have always been with
the people. No man enjoys more of the
good will of the men who toll with their
hands, than does Waiter Smith in his
home city, where they know him as he
is. His devotion to their interests is in
written measures enacted into law by
the republican party for which he voted.

The Methodist Conference

The Methodist Conference held at
Perry closed Monday and the ministers
hurried away to their homes, many of
them to move to new appointments. In
all such things some have cause to re-
joice and others have reason to grieve.
DR. Morley was transferred to the Iowa
conference, constituting the southeast
quarter of the state, and located at
Marengo which is good appointment.
He follows DIR. Myers who was trans
ferred to this conference and assigned
to the First Church at Boone. j. H..
Freedline of Elliott was appointed to
the church in Audubon, He is a young
man little more than thirty years OF
age, who is said to have made good in
other places Rev. ID. b. s. Prather was
sent to Bagley, which is considered a
promotion for him. Rev. A. II. Grant
goes to Farragut, A. A. Walburn to
Winterset, VIM. Stevenson to Clarinda,
Hugh Glassburn to Yankee, w. Il.
Shuggs to Anita, X. w. Matheny to
Malvern, w. H. Shipman to College
Springs, and X. Il. Harvey to Desoto.
The Conference next year will be held
at Shenandoah.

TAFT AND CONSERVATION,

No man can in fairness and Justice
say that President Taft is not friend
of conservation. His St Paul speech
was ringing declaration of his con
victions. He believes in conservation
but he does not believe in leaving all
the natural resources for future genera
tions to enjoy and keeping the people in
the present from using them in any
manner whatever.
The fact that there is good deal
eloquence spilled over the subject of
conservation by people WHO do not
understand the subject in the least.
Why should Niagara and the coal fields
and phosphate beds be left for the
people living in 2l00 to enjoy and not
allow the people of 1910 to have at
least some of their riches and benefits?
The problem is to distribute the right
to use the natural resources so that the
people of today and tomorrow both will
get them, and the private land grabbers
and water grabbers he held mt bay,
President Taft is doing everything in
his power to give square deal to the
people of today and of tomorrow as well
Before many of the sites can be with
drawn Congress must pass the necessary
laws. Nor will it do to withdraw all
sites and lands from entry and keep
them intact for the people of tomorrow
or 100 years hence. The people of to-
day are entitled to rs much as are the
people of the future. 1t is necessary to
strike the happy medium and this is
what President Taft is undoubtedly
trying to do. Give the president credit
for good intentions and right actions.
Conserve enthusiasm as well as natural
resources. -Atlantic Telegraph

THE RACING RECORD
in A HUNDRED YEARS
HAS Been Reduced But One Minute
To The Mile During The Last
Hundred Years.

Now that we are haying races at the
County fair it may be worth while To
read the followingconcerning therecord
one hundred years ago and what has
been done in that time in the way of
reducing the time to trot a mile. An
exchange recently gave the following:
hundred years ago horse named
iankey was credited with mark of
2:o9, then the hest recorded, although
that Is largely u matter of tradition.
The other day Uhlan, in an amazing
performance NJ Cleveland, o., set new
mark of l.5Sa,
In the century between there has been
one smashing of old records after an
other Boston Horse late i'm 1910 clipped
fankey's record down TO 2IS9 That
stood for sixteen years, when Trouble
took off five seconds, One trotter after
another took OIL second here and u
second there until Flora Temple in the
years from lS5Gto 1889 brought the mark
down to 2;2ll in u series or sensational
races, We still remember Dexter, who
came next, bringing the mark down to
2l'l in 1869. Goldsmith Maid held the
honors for three or four years in the i0's,
establishing her lowest mark in 1874 at
2:lA. There followed in succession,
Rarns, Maud s., JAY Eye See, Sunol,
Nancy Hanks, AliX Cresceus and Lou
Dillon, all fleeter and ileeter and now
comes Uhlan with a performance that
puts him NJ the top of the list of all
trotters.
What will happen in the next hun
dred years? Nobody expects that an
other minute will ever be clipped from
the trotting record, because that seems
beyond the realm of physical possibility.
But horsemen expect the horse of the
future to set lower marks How much
faster will the trotter of 20l0, il we
have trotters then, make the mile than
the trotter of today?
1t is reasonable TO expect that ut least
several seconds will be clipped from
