repute of being big enough to fill it
even tho he may set progressives to
wondering as to who to prefer among
candidates of 80 worthy class.
Likewise with Senator Funk, every
newspaper in Iowa, standpat or pro-

of the sage of Spirit Lake. For many

mothers used F'unk's newspaper as a
beacon for their guidance in rearing

NEEDS FIXING.

Justice Lurton of the supreme court
IS in q current eastern magazine With
an article on the supreme court as a
constitutional court of Interpretation.
The justice points out the necessity
that the supreme court should in all its
decisions be ruled by the fundamental
law and not by the sentiment OF the
time. IL Ne have outgrown the insti-
tutions w13ch have bade US the greatest
people Of the EARTH says Judge Lur-
ton, "let US change them by direct
rather than indirect means. II our con-
stitution Is too rigid and the restraints
upon the legislative power too great,
let us amend the constitution" And
Justice Lurton is unimp eachably cor
rect in his conclusion and wise in the
advice offered.
But neither Justice Lurton nor any
other justice can escape the sentiment
OF the time" The personal equation
enters into the decisions Of supreme
Justices as it does into those of othe,

and desires of powerful interests
whether Of good or evil must exert a
certain influence upon the highest
courts as they do upon the lower. There
has never been a supreme court-and
never will be until men become gods
that could entirely escape the stimulus
Of popular demand or the narcotism OF
"inf1uence." Even the gods nod at
times.
A supreme court decision should be a
Just Interpretation Of fundamental law
It can not be the ultimate decision be-
tween right ana wrong. Constitutions

They can not be changed by the selec-

WHO IS RIGHT?

There is this at least in favor of the

what purpose have the rules OF the

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald says
mo class more strongly desires good
roads than the motoring class. None
would more willingly pay for their i'm
provement. If the owners OF automo-
biles were assured that the proceeds Of
a tax of SO year levied on each ma
chine would be expended judiciously in
the making of permanently better roads
so that every dollar spent would be
best spent, they would cheerfully pay
the tax"
The Mason City Times notes that
W. 8. Kenyon Of Fort Dodge and At
torney General Byers are most talked
OF in connection with the senatorial
election, but thinks sit is by no means
sure that either will be the strongest
with the membership Of the legislature.
There is quiet insistent suggestion
that men like Senator Funk, Senator
Smith and Governor Garst will have a
large following in the assembly"
The Orange City Herald says the in
coming legislature faces a hard task.
1t is no easy problem" the Herald
continues. ITO select a senator who is
able to fill successfully the position of
the lamented Dolllver. and the situation
is rendered doubly difficult thru the
wholesale offering Of candidates. Ad-
vice at the present time is entirely
superfiuous."
Iowa has been far from progressive
in realizing the Importance Of the good
roads propa ganda which is being push
ed with such good results in other
states" asserts the Sioux City Journal.

Ing made by Iowa in the census has not
been without stimulating effect in this

fFrom Friday.s Examinerl

(From Fridays Examiner)
 U. s. Commissioner Charles H. Ut ting arrived home last night on the 7:45 train, bringing with him one of the finest pairs of mountain sheep horns. ever seen anywhere.
 The horns are the property of Ker- nit Roosevelt who killed the big ram and also his mate in the Tinajas Atlas range.
 Win Proebstel came back as far as Wellton with MT. Utting and this leaves Messrs. Dominguez and Caseras with Mir. Roosevelt as guides.
 Mir. Roosevelt expects to return to Yuma about August 26.
 MT. Utting states that MT. Roosevelt is an ideal hunting companion and an all round fine fellow.
