DENVER CANINE CATCHER NEEDS
ONLY ESKIMO BRAND TO

Denver, Dec. 26.-Two thousand dogs
have now had luncheons off Herman

city, the last to take advantage of his
generous girth being hungry New.

initials on earns back. Laughing
heartily as he removed the animal:
teeth from his anatomy, earn inform
ed his friends that in being bitten by
Newfoundland dog, one of the chief
ambitions of his official career had
been realized. Following his usua,
custom, earn bathed the wound with
carbolic acid, and then started off to
provide a banquet for some other dogs.
earn has been in charge Of the bow.

an average of 10000 stray dogs every
year. If there is dog in Denver

track of his bites by making an entry

he had to buy an adding machine. Save
for a couple of serious punctures on
his nose, inflicted by a peevish pup,

differ from that of the ordinary dog
catcher.
It is not until he disrobes, as he
did one day recently at the request of
the city officials, that the extent of
his patriotic services become appar-
ent. His exquisitely carved anatomy
is splendid tribute to the artistic
craftsmanship Of the canine family.
His legs look like perforated music
rolls, while his back resembles a cane
bottom chair. There is no estimating
just what he has saved the taxpayers
in the way of dogmeat expense.

HUSBAND PLEADS FOR SECRET
& TRIAL IN SUIT BROUGHT BY
WIFE FOR DIVORCE.

up before Judge J. Albert Evans and
L. L. Davis. James H. Beal appeared
for Mr.. Mellon, and Mrs. Mellon was
represented by Harry B. Wassell. Mr..
Wassell declared that if Mrs. Mellon
applied for jury trial under tho new
Scott divorce law it should be grant
ed. Mr.. Beal argued that the decision
then was mainly on the point as to
which law should apply to the case,
the old one or the new He wished to
reopen the argument on the question
of whether the evidence was prejudicial
to public morals.
"But we filed an opinion in which
the court came to the conclusion that
Mrs. Mellon should have jury trial."
said Judge Evans.
81 know you did, replied Mr..
Beal,
"Well, you don't expect us to re-
verse that opinion, do you7" demand
ed the judge.
Mr.. Beal then began to argue that
a jury trial will be against public NOR
ais because of the nature Of the testi-
mony. He said that to support the
charges against Mrs. Mellon in which
Captain George Alfred Curphey, an
officer of the British army, is named
as correspondent, large number of de-
positions have been obtained, telling of
a kissing and embracing, fondling and
cab rides. .#
Would Prejudice Jury.
Mr.. Beal mentioned the publicity
which has been given to the. case, es-
pecially in eastern papers, and told
Of two thousand copies of one newspa-
per being mailed throughout Allegh-
eny county, containing. stories of the
case, which he said would prejudice
any jury. He declared the purpose Of
the demand for jury trial was to
humiliate Mr.. Mellon.
Mr.. Beal said the case was started
in September, 1910, and went along
in the usual order of court proceed
ure until May, 1911, when, he said, the
publicity campaign was started, with
pictures of all the principals involved,
together with what he regarded as
"highly sensational" interviews with
Mrs. Mellon, in which she said that
"Mr. Mellon with his gold was try

MI. Wassell objected to any deposit
tions or exhibits being put in the case
at this time, saying, "Mr. Beal has
been trying throughout this case to
introduce dispositions.
IT have repeatedly tried to get the
respondent here under OATH" replied
Mr.. Beal. He then went on to tell
how kind Mr.. Mellon was to his wife,
saying that he had settled $1,000
on her and had always treated her
kindly, as good husband should until
he discovered the alleged perfdy.
MI. Wassell explained in regard to
the so-called "publicity campaign
that the legislature was in session at
the time and the public defence asso-
citation otained copies Of newspapers
and mailed them to legislators and
ministers, with the hope Of obtaining
a repeal of the Scott divorce act.
No decision was rendered by the
judges.

they aware that railroad corporations
buy marblesi If they don't, they
can learn the important fact now and
here.
Anybody that seeks confirmation of
this statement which is made without
reservation and which is capable of
proof to the skeptical, can obtain it
for himself by visiting any railroad
ticket office or passenger station and
taking slant at the ticket racks.
Nobody should jump hastily at the
conclusion that the great railroad cor
porations buy marbles for their en-
ployes to play with. That is not the
idea at all. The marbles are used in
the ticket racks to keep the tickets in
the many compartments showed up to
the front and in convenient position for
the agent to grab it when a customer
demands it.
As the tickets are extracted from the
compartments the marble keeps press,
ing the jackage of tickets forward.
And these are the very same kind of
marbles that the men of today played
with when they were children.

IowANs AND ABANDONED FARMS"

Nothing evidences the acuteness of
the prevailing land hunger more than
the expIoita ton of abandoned eastern
prom oters will be able to sell them TO
purchasers in the middle west. And
there is no doubt that some of this east
ern land will be thus sold The fact
salesman sufficiently persistent con-
siderable tracts of plain blue sky can be
disposed of to purchaser who imagine
that 1T will be worth something some
day"
However. the amount of abandoned
eastern hill side sold 10 Iowans will not
seriously affect the population Of the
state The Iowan, grown used TO strik-
Iowa farm will not be attracted by an
abandoned farm 80 per cent rock and 10
per cent poor soil. He will object to
carving soil along wherewith TO cover
a. hill of corn. He has never acquired
the habit of picking stones five days in
order to be able to plow two hours With
q double modboard cast iron ploW.
And he hasn't become habituated to
gathering his crop in a market basket
and cribbing his corn yield in the house.
Perhaps the shrewd real estate sales
man may be able TO sell an occasional
abandoned farm to an Iowan. He may
get few dollars of Iowa money but
he couldn't keep an Iowan on one OF
chose farms three months without using
handouts and leg irons.

1t is difficult proposition. 1t seems
to involve deal of hair splitting.
There appears to be need Of sort OF
power Of censorship, quick certain and
unerring in the application. That sets
the mark high. And where shall such
power be lodged? Can we create such
power without danger to our free in
stitutions? 1t ought to be possible to
draw the line between right and wrong
with such clearness and precision as to
make it unnecessary for the govern
ment to go about the enforcement OF
the law as if it We're treading on eggs.
The ultimate solution of the problem
seems afar off. No wonder the bust
ness world hangs eXpectantly on the
outcome of the pending suits. Nobody
seems to understand clearly Just what
the possibilities of the situation are.

THREADING CAREFULLY.

Whether the government may not get
its wires crossed in it's trust busting"
program seems something of a ques-
ton.
In its brief in the tobacco case it
emphasizes it's position that the Sher

Nlegality upon every sort of restraint
Of Interstate or foreign commerce. Such
4 theory has been advanced before in
the interest of the good trusts" as dis
tinguished from the bad" ones. At
the same time the governm ent de-
nands that the right of con gress to
regulate interstate and foreign COM
mefce be preserved untramm eled. To
this end 1t would allow congress the
power to strike at things possibly out

pEENER, SMITH AND MCPHERSON.

Washington correspondents who
learn much and guess at much are pre-
dieting the appointment of Congress-
man Walter L Smith to succeed Judge
Van Deventer on the federal bench,
Judge Smith is understood to be ex-
tremely willing and the president looks
upon him as not only capable but as a
natural compromise. Three Iowa men
are candidates for the Van DeVenter
succession = Judge Deemer, Judge
Smith Mcpherson and Congressman
Smith. Mcpherson is being pushed by
the reactonary wing as fully repre-
sentative of standpatism. Deemer is
being strongly opposed by the same
forces because he is not of the inner
circle. indeed has shown progressive
tendencies. Smith thus looks good to
the president as a middle way.
Now all these men are good lawyers
