Quite difference of opinion existed
Tuesday as to the cause Of the smoke
and gas in the air. Some claimed that
it came from the forest fires in Michigan
others that it was caused by Halley's
Comet and some rabid standpatters were
mean enough to insinuate that it ema-
mated from the Cummins- Dolliver meet
ing in Des Moines Tuesday night.
Mrs. James Fuller writes from out
at Spokane, Washington, thanking MS
for sample copy of The Republican,
which she had requested, saying that
Audubon county was her home for
good many years and the paper made it
seem like meeting old friends again.
Mrs. Fuller enclosed two dollars asking
that our paper be sent to her address
and also that of her sister, Miss Kittie
G. Crews, who lives in the same city.

Minister Seeks Notoritey

Rev. N. E. Spicer of the Universalist
church at Webster City is evidently
taking short cut to notoriety by deliver
ing sermon last Sunday in which he
stated that Halley's comet is none else
than the Star of Bethlehem" by whose
light the three wise men were guided to
the birthplace of Christ. The minister
figured it all out by mathematical cal
but all of us ordinary mortals
prefer to think of that star as the pro
duct of a miracle wrought by the Lord
of hosts.

New York, June 25.--Extradition of
Porter Charlton to Italy to be tried for
killing his wife, formerly Mary Scott
Castle, will be resisted on the ground

On the other hand the brother of
the dead woman, Captain Henry Har-
rison Scott of the coast artillery, will
do everything in his power to secure
young Charlton's extradition and his
punishment in Italy for the crime,
which was worldwide mystery until
Charlton was arrested on landing here
and confessed to having murdered his
bride in their villa on the shores of
Lake Como, jamming her body into a
trunk and throwing it into the con
venient waters.
Charlton went through the ordeal OF
arraignmant before Recorder McGov
ern in Hoboken, his counsel appearing
in his stead and securing an adjourn
ment of the hearing until next Tues
day. The youthful prisoner was or
dered committed meantime to the
Hudson county Jail in Jersey City
while officialdom and eminent lega
minds struggled with the problem pre-
sented by differences between Italiar
case and the points of the fedora
jurisdiction in the matters which re
main to be considered.

CAN REGULATE
STOCK ISSUES
Attorney General Defends
Administration Plan.
NOT A RADICAL STEP

Head of Department of Justice Calls
Attention to the Fact That Opposi
ton Has Been Made to Every Pro-
eressve Measure of Commerce
Regularion-Addres Causes al
Slump in Prices at New York.
Chicago, June 25.-In vigorous de-
fense of the power of the national gov
ernment to legislate on the subject of
the issuance of stocks and bonds by
railroad corporations, subject to the
interstate commerce act, Attorney
General George w. Wickersham spoke
for an hour before the Illinois State
Bar association. The basis for his
talk was the provision in the new rail-
road law authorizing the president to
investigate questions pertaining to the
issuance of stocks and bonds by rail
road corporations and the power of
congress to regulate them.
The enactment of such a law, he
contended, was not nearly so radical
step as was the enactment of the per-
missive act of 1866 which gave to a
railroad corporation of one state the
right to carry on interstate commerce
on the interstate commerce act of
1887. The attorney general pointed
out that opposition had been made to
| nf
merce regulation.
But" he declared, in closing his
speech, "the centralizing tendency has
gone steadily on, and the control of
congress over interstate railroad COM
panies has been exercised in an in
creasingly comprehensive manner.
Such progress is inseparable from
growth
Central Regulation Is Essential.
'The great arteries of communica-
| tion between different parts of the
country and the instrumentalities
which control their operation can only
| be properly regulated In the public in
| terest by the central national power; !;
| power which is sovereign, which is
| exclusive when exercised and which
should be exercised to correct every
| evil of a public character which ex-
| perience demonstrates to be suscepti
BILE of correction only by national leg
islation."
| Numerous legal authorities were
cited by the attorney general, from
which he declared it may confidently
be asserted that, while congress may
itself create corporations for the pur
pose of carrying on interstate com
merce, it may also prescribe rules and
regulations under which corpora
ton created by the laws of a state
may conduct such commerce, and that
when it does SO such state corporation
might engage only in such commerce
In conformity with the rules and regu
lations SO laid down by congress; ant
that these rules may have reference
not only to the exchange of goods ant
commodities, but to the subject, the
vehicle and the agent of such com
merce and their various operations.

St Paul, June 25.-President w. s.

sion at the Auditorium, was instructed
by the organization to send the follow
ing telegram to President Taft in re-
gard to the attitude of the Brother
hood towards a measure which is be-
ing considered in the house of repre-
sentatives, providing for the appro-
priation of government money for the
prosecution of persons guilty of break
ing the Sherman antitrust law:
Replying to your telegram of June

vention of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen instruct
me to express to you their. regrets that
it should be deemed necessary to Sc
cure an appropriation for the purpose
of prosecuting labor organizations"
At the order of the convention Pres
ident w S. Carter sent a message to
President Taft last Tuesday protesting
against the measure and desiring an
amendment which would exempt labor
unions from such prosecution. The
president wired reply, going into the
situation in detail The president said
that such an amendment as was de-
sired by the firemen would undoubted-
ly be class legislation.

sage "as the present antitrust law
remains upon the statute books an at
tempt to modify its enforcement so as
to render immune any class of citi-
zens, rich or poor, employers or EN-

my judgment, ought to be opposed by
you."

dent Carter, who refused to say how
the matter was received by the as

There is only one thing we cannot
see," he said, and that is why it Is
necessary to appropriate public money
to prosecute the laboring man. II
seems to us that there are ways and
means enough now by which he car
be prosecuted without setting aside

we ourselves have contributed, tt
prosecute us for trying to better oul
