IOWA SECOND IN CORN.
Crop 3fO,4i2,OOO Bushels Short of
Last Year-rhird Largest
in History.

The full effect of the drought and
intensely hot weather of the past
summer was reflected in the govern
ment crop report last week. IT show
ed that the production OF corn ii.
the United States was smaller by
340,412,00O bushels than last years
crop.
notwithstanding this great de-
crease, the crop this year goes down
as the third largest in the history
OF the country.
There were decreases in produc-
ton in all the principal corn grow
ing states except Ohio, Michigan,
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Georgia and Ala
hama. Illinois led in production,
and Iowa and Missouri maintained
their standing as second aud third
producing states.
Potatoes showed falling off OF
81 ,07 200 bushels. Only Wisconsin
showed an increase in their produc-
tion.
There was a striking decrease in
the production of tobacco, amount
ing to 96,000,000 pounds less than
last years crop. Wisconsin produced
A. 100000 pounds of tobacco this
year ana 800, 1000 bushels of po-
tatoes.

The sweet corn packing business
in Iowa this year amounted to S4,

The Gamers are enthusiastic over
the great progress their business is

the fact that Iowa is not only the
greatest corn state, but also the
greatest sweet corn state in the

Citations of Gamers are making an
energetic campaign to increase the
standard and quality of their pro-
duct. and special emphasis is given
TO the fact that canned sweet corn
is absolutely pure food. No drugs
or chemicals are used when the corn
is prepared. The corn is sterilized
by heat which is pure process, and
makes the corn good edible. The
Gamers also boast that the canning
plants in Iowa are as clean as any

CONDEMN COUNTY JAIL
Grand Jury Describes Conditions
Within the County Bastile.
Defects Should be Remedied at Once.
to Make Jail Inhabitabie,
and Properly Heated,
Say Jurors.

The Grand Jury of the November,
1911 term of the district court of
Winneshiek county desires to report
to the people OF the county that at
the September, 1911 term of this
court, this Grand Jury submitted its
report uron condit ons found by it
in the public buildings of the county,
including the Jail; that in said re-
Port the public was notified OF the
unsanitary conditions exi ting in the
county jail and advised of the neces-
sity for repairs in said building. The
Present Grand Jury has made an in
yestigation and finds that nothing
has been done towards the remedy
ng OF the defects in said county jail
IN the meantime, except the pur-
chasing of few mattresses: that
the jail continues to be exceedingly
unsanitary and unsuitable; that the
rlastering is falling off from the
ceilings and side walls in the sher-
ifs living rooms; that the building
is not properly supplied with steam
heat purposes after eight or nine
o'clock at night; that the plastering
is out from around the windows and
door jams so that the wind can blow
right through the walls; that the
building and rooms OF the build'ng
are as clean as can be expected ur-
der present conditions, and that the
lack of conveniences, lack of heat
ing, ventilation. and general build
ing cleanliness make it impossible to
Keep the building in its present con-
dit'on, sanitary and comfortable;
that in it's present condition the
building is disgrace to the county,
and to confine prisoners in such a
place as the cell room, or to require
a county official to live in such rooms
as the living rooms of said building,
is wrong.
We, most urgently recommend that
the Board OF Supervisors take Inn
mediate action toward renedying
the defects pointed out By us, and
along that line we suggest that the
cell rooms be given a thorough paint
ing throughout, that the beds be
and that the prisoners
blankets be replaced with new ones.
and that the living. rooms of the
sheriff be re-plastered and re-paper-
ed, and the wall apertures around
castings be closed, and that the jani-
tor be required to supply heat to
the building during the night.

License Does Not Show Guilt.

Marshalltown, Ia. Nov. 20.-The
first opinion in an Iowa court, de-
claring unconstitutional the new
law to the effect that possession of
2 federal liquor permit is primal facie
evidence that the law is being vio-
lated, was given in the district court
here Saturday by Judge C. b. Brad
shaw, who dismissed the case
brought by the state against l.. f.
Madden of Clemons.
Madden had a government license
to sell liquor, but the state had no
further evidence against the defend
ant, further than the record of his
license. Madoen's counsel argued
| that the law was unconstitutional
because It destroyed the presumption
OF the accused's innocence, a pre-
sumption that must be held until
guilt is proved beyond a reasonable
doubt. The state argued constitu-
! tionality on the ground of similarity
to the game las, which held that
possession of game during a closed
season period is held prima facie
evidence OF the game having been
killed and therefore Illegally
The state will appeal the case to
the supreme court in order to get a
decision that will determine further

CAS RAFFLEs ILLEGAL.
Attorney & val cans Upon sherigs
and Ca% Attorneys 10
SunT Them.

A circular lettGN been sent out
by Attorney Cener, 'csson to ell
sheriffs and county az .eys calling
on them to suppress an schemes OF
chance of every kind. :. says: "All
schemes or transaction'S or which a
consideration is paid, Snd in which
the Person paying the consideration
receives something each time, but
the amount received derends upon
luck or chance are gambling trans
actions where the game is purely one
of chance for a money consideration,
and hence, the person operating
these Illegal games or enterprises is
guilty OF operating a gambling house
violation of the city ordinances of
his city or town, and also in violation
OF the statutes OF the state.
My attention'has recently been di-
rected to various slot machines and
candy raffles. The complaint is made
that so great has become this evil of
candy raTles, TT at a merchant who
refuses to handle these gambling
schemes cannot compete in business
with those who do. Fortunately.
wholesale houses which put out there
candy rattle boards confined the
prizes to candy, but the evil has so
multiplied and competition has be-
come so great that within the past
ten days | have received complaints
tat diamond rings, silverware,
clocks, gold watches and other arti-
cles of jewelry, spurious as well as
genuine, are being disposed of as
prizes in connection with the candy
rattle. 1t is common knowledge that
the larger part Of the money receiv-
ed in disposing of these candy raffles
is from boys and girls, some of them
immature.
can see no reason for prosecut-
ing the man who operates the shell
game and the roulette, and at the
same time, permit merchants to
operate gambling houses in the form
of raffles, slot machines and other
gambling schemes, and by a petty
form OF gambling, illegally collect
from the boys and girls thousands
of dollars for which no just return
is made.
| therefore suggest and request
that the several mayors and super
intendents of public safety direct
their chief of police and police Off
GERS TO cause all forms of gambling
10 be suppressed. including all
schemes of raffles, lotteries, and all
slot machines containing an element
OF chance, and if the offenders con-
tinue the illegal operation OF these
gambling enterprises, that they be
Immediately arrested under the city
ordinance, and that the county at
torney also cause them to be indict-
ed by the grand jury of their re-
spective counties for operating gamb-
ling houses in violation OF law, and
that the paraphernalia be condemn

ST LOUIS NAY LINZ. HER
ATOMS

So says the New Orleans States. St.
Louis may limit her saloons. and the
proposed limitation is suggested in the
interest Of the public and the liquor
trade. This is a consideration to which
we had given little thought in the past.
Why tie limitation of the saloons
#, as has been claimed, the saloons
are NECESSARY evils, but are promotive
of business and prosperity, why
should they be limited
Common sense would dictate the in
crease instead eff the limitation
Indeed, # the saloons are developers
of business and of prosperity, they
should be hailed as blessings and be es-
tablished at every corner and in the cen
Ter Of every block III the business sec

greatest Of evils which afi1iet mankind.
It producers nothing tangible OF value
able, but is 4 promoter q. crime and

1t is not singular that St Louis, after
years of trial with the saloon, has de-
terrained on a limitation of the number
which IS to be tolerated in that city.

THE COMMERCIAL TREATY
WITH Japan

From Washington, the Capital of the
United States, it has been announced
that the Senate, when in executive ses-
sion on Thursday afternoon, failed to
ratify the treaty with japan, upon which
President Taft had set his heart
Involved in this treaty is the ifnml-
grafton question, tc which all reference
is omitted. There should be no haste in
the consideration of hte treaty, as it is,
and which has been drafted to notify
the Japanese.
1t was believed that the Californians
would have urged no objections to the
treaty, in consideration, as alleged, of
their obtaining the. Panama Exposition
at San Francisco. but the men of the
West, not bound by dicker, if there was
one, will not yield their approval, not
Withstanding the pleas of President
Taft
Under the present treaty for which
there is offered a substitution, the inn
migration of Japanese into the United
States is limited, as is the Chinese, but
if the treaty now pending in the Senate
be ratified. all japanese can come into
the United States without restriction.
Is there not already too much cheap
labor in the United States?
Who, seriously, will venture the as
sertion that Orientals or Mongolians
are desirable7
When they come, they come with all
their vices which can never be redeemed
by their virtues
Pauper labors as it is styled, is en-
oOuraged and desired by industries and
enterprises whose profits are increased
by the labor which is cheap and which,
if not restrained, viii pauperize Ameri-
can industries.
