many politicians, there are
not enough. In a country

Mason City, Feb. 21.-The people Of
this locality are learning directly Of the
black plague which is injecting north
ern China, thru Robert Clack, a grad
uate Of Iowa College at Cirinnell, who
is now professor in Tientsin in the
Chinese University.
In 1850 IL plague, which is said to
be identical to this, wiped out about
half OF the population of Europe. 1t is
a concentrated consumption. Says Mr.
Clark:
"One hundred and fifty Chinese doc
tors from Pekin and Tientsin went up
two weeks ago, and are doing what
they can for the afflicted. And Yet
don't suppose one of them will get 4
Carnegie medal, or their wives or chill
dren get d cent out of the commission
And yet there Is another crowd of them
going in a few days. They may be
heather but you can't make me believe
they will be severely punished for such
heroism in the hereafter. large num-
Der of the foreign doctors have also
gone, and so far only one a French
man, has died. All second and third
class traffic has been stopped and first
class passengers have to stop and go
thru five days quarantine at Shanhaik-
wan. an dthere are at the present time
strong possibilities that first class
passage Will be stopped
Professor Clack tells OF some very
peculiar answers he received to ques-
tions asked in a recent examination.
One fellow said "a coroner is a jury
which requests a dead man to see why
it is" The British navy consists OF
cattleships." England depands for
defense chiefly on her navel" when
a judge renounces sentences he must
be unanimous" First the counsel for
the plaintiff opens the witness"
And then, changing to football, Pro-
fessor Clack says: "There have never
been in the history of the world but
two nations who could play American
football Those are the United States
and Sparta AS for the Chinks, YOU
must remember that for 5000 years any
physician exertion on the part of a
scholar has been strictly tabooed. Why
should they develop strength? They
didn't have to use it. They have coolies
to do the work. So you see even the
present day mild athletics is an awful
blow to custom"

TEMPLE LAW UPHELD.
Decision Of High Court Was on Famous
Iowa Statute.

Des Moines Feb. 21.-The uphOlding
of the constitutionality of the law of
Iowa passed In 1898 enabling an en-
ploye of the operating department of
a railroad to sue railroad for injur-

had received injury benefits from n re-
lief department supported partially by
the railroad. by the supreme court of
the United States referred to the ia
nous Temple amendment.
1t was attacked In an action brought
several years after it passed the Iowa
legislature The amendment was first
the extra session which revised the
code. There it was defeated. a meas
ure known as the Berry substitute hav-
ing been proposed in the senate.
The political parties that summer In
their state conventions declared for
the passage Of the law and the legis-
lature Of 1898 did pass It,
The Burlington railroad had built up
a large relief department chiefly sus-
tanned by the dues paid by the en-
ployes OF the road, who were members
of the department. and under the form
Of contract the employee. when he Joined
the department, signed away his right
to sue the railroad company for dam
ages for injuries to himself. The Tenn
pie amendment made this contract lille
gal.
The constitutionality Of the law was
attacked when Charles l.. Mcclure sued
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy rail-
road company for $4,000 damages for
injuries. Mcguire had been given $3.50
by the Burlington relief department. an
association maintained by the railroad
and its employees.
1t was claimed that one OF the regu-
lations of the relief department was
that employees must elect between ac-
cepting relief from it and pressing 4
claim against the company. The COM
pany first commended that the recovery
from the relief fund was a bar to the
action in court and when that was de-
cided against it, an attack was made
on the constitutionality Of the code
provision.
The supreme court OF Iowa upheld
the constitutionality OF the law. The
supreme court today affirmed the de-
cision Of the state court in an opinion
announced by Justice Hughes.
