Among the scores Of Tama county
farmers whose orchards produce q
surplus of fruit this year, is Donald
Murray. Of Grant. Several Of his app
pie trees are overladen with apples
whose average weigh is nearly q
pound. Busy with other farm work no
forgets his orchard and the growing
apples break the branches and some
times rives the trees. He can't use al
the apples. and he can't sell them. His
neighbors have all they need. The
stock are tired OF them. It is a shame
that some way hasn't been provided to
market the surplus Wolf Rivers. Veal

WASN'T IT LAW ELEVEN YEARS AGO?

A decision handed down yesterday
upon a Des Moines law case in which
an independent oil company has been
suing the Standard for damages on ac-
count Of elleged unfair competition
which put the Independent concern out
of business finds that:
To divert to oneself the customers
of business rival by the offer OF
goods at lower prices is in general a
legitimate mode of serving ones own
interests, and jusIifable as fair COM
petition, but when a man starts an
opposition place, not for the sake Of
profit to himself but regardless of
loss to himself. and for the sole pur-
pose OF driving his competitor out Of
business, and with the intention OF
himself retiring upon the accomplish
ment of his malevolent purpose, he is
guilty OF a wantor wrong and an ac-
1ionabie tort in such q case. he would
not be exercising his legal right or do
ing an act which can be judged sep
arately from the motive which actu-
ated it. To call such conduct compe-
tition is perversion of term. 1t is
simply the application of force with
out legal justification, which in it's
moral quality may be no better than
highway robbery.
The decision will appeal to practi-
cally ali men as ernineniiy- just and one
at which the courts and common OBJ
servers might arrive quickly. But this
case has been in court eleven years In
the beginning of the suit the indepsnd-
ent company was given $500 damages.
he case was appealed by the defend
ant company and eleven years later the
courts have come to the conclusion
quoted above and the plaintiffs may
now start all over to a new trial.

the oil company which went broke IN

suit started eleven years ago boys have

Chickens Extinct in Dakota.


Apparently the closed season for
prairie chickens was not long enough
to permit the grouse population to in
crease to any great extent, and ii is
doubtful If there are any more of the
birds in the state now than there were
when the law protecting them for a
time was passed. If the prairie chick
ems are to be preserved it will be ne
cessary to absolutely prohibit killing
them for a number OF years and to see
that the law is enforced. However. it
is unlikely that they will ever again
become plentiful in the state The set
ting up of the remaining prairie areas
has left them little unoccupied nesting
ground. The grouse can live very well
in settled farming country. finding
plenty of feed in the grain and corn
fields. but they will not breed well
where they are constantly disturbed by
people and farm animals

SENATOR cUMMINs' CRITICS.
las.alessf lShel1on Sllnl

Senator Cummins gave some reasons
why In his opinion President TAFT
should not be renominated. The Chi
cago Record Herald. which is very
much In love with the president, called
for bill Of particulars" and got 1t.
The senator was courteous In his critt-
cism Of President Taft His indictment
was less severe than that of Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, made public since the
senator wrote the Record Herald the
bin Of particulars asked for: but the
standpatters are wild over 1t. They
have been puzxling thetr brains in an
effort to think of some meaner names
to call the senator than they have been
applying to him in the past. Now
that is a mighty poor way to play the
game OF politics. Every man his a
right to his own opinion. has the right
to express it, and will express 1t ii he
IS honest. If there is no merit in the
argument he advances, 1t is easy to an
swer 1t by showing by facts and hg-
ures that he is wrong. The standpat
faction of the republican party admit.
by falling to answer the argument,
that he is right; and when they call
him vile names and abuse him other
wise they weaken their own cause.
Senator sCummins Is not alone in the
opinion that President Taft should not
be renominated. There are many able
men In Iowa and in every other state
in the union who do not think 1t best
for the country to give him another
term. Those men are just as good re-
publicans as are the fellows who ac-
cuse them of disloyalty. They are not
swayed by the wishes of the interests.
but they are governed by the ex-
pressed policy Of the national republi-
can platform. They are the true re-
publicans: their critics are in the kin
dergarten class OF republicans and they
take their instructions from the fell
lows whom the true republicans have
found to be unworthy of recognition as
party leaders.
