To Riddle Liquor Law.

Early in the year the Murphy Legis-
Iature started out with general scheme
10 riddle the liquor laws. The makeup
Of the Assembly Excise Committee espe-
cially favored this. John Hackett. its
chairman, used to be in the saloon bust
ness Marty" McCue. it's senior mem
ber, is Il saloonkeeper now. Both these
members were positive the restrictions
on the sale Of liquor now imposed by the
laws were absolutely ridiculous. So in
the Senate and Assembly twenty or
thirty bills were introduced and pressed
as hard as Murphy's boys dared press
them.
one Of them would have made II neces-
sary to indict a saloonkeeper and give
him "A jury trial for selling after hours.
If il became law, the punishment Of A
saloonkeeper for such an offence would
have been practically impossible. An
other would have abolished the require
ment that each saloonkeeper must give
a bond before obtaining license. This
would have done away with the restrain
ing influence OF the bondsmen-a very
large force I'm compelling some SELDOM
keepers To obey the liquor laws.
Another would have reduced from
three years to one the time which must
eIapse before a person convicted OF a
felony may engage in the saloon busi-
ness. This was quite an inducement to
ex-crimnals to get into rumseling. Still
another provided that a saloonkeeper
might break the law once without for
feiting his license-on the principle that
every dog should have one bite without
subjectng himself 10 the penalty for
nuisances.
There were many others OF about the
same stripe, but the opposition from up
state members of the Legislature, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, who didn't want
10 see Murphy's boys" rip the excise
laws to pieces. killed most OF them. A
few did get through and were signed by
Governor Dix. Murphys "boys' are
hoping for better luck next year.

New-York tribune., 1911-11-06
BY Order OF the Governor.

Finally the scandal become so great
that Governor Dix had to intervene and
order the Commissioner who couldn't
perceive the facts to vote to revoke the
illegal license anyhow. SO finally 1t was
done. But nobody yet knows whether
the club got away with money which
should have been paid into the state
treasury under the prizcfght law.
This nauseous mess was a splendid ex-
ample Of the stand taken by Murphy's
Legislature on so-calIed personal lib
erty" bills. IT might be noted that per
sonal liberty" as some Of its nosiest ad-
vocates seem to interpret the idea, means
the granting OF special privileges 10 u
few people or a little group of interests,
to do certain things forbidden by. the
laws and in which the great general pub
lie takes little interest.
The effort to repeal part OF the Hughes
anti-racctrack gambling laws was such
a specimen of personal liberty" legis-
latlon. The trustees of racetracks con-
tended that they were laboring under
terrible hardship because the laws held
them liable for gambling at their tracks.
They wanted these laws changed so they
needn't suffer under this grievous burden
of having 10 do all they could to prevent
professional betting on their horse races.
Tammany's Senate passed their bill for
them. Governor Dix blew hot and cold
on it, The racetrack people said he told
them he was for it. The clergymen and
others who were fighting the bill said he
told them ne was against it. Murphy's
boys" in the Assembly wanted to pass
il. but were afraid OF ii. 1t was defeated
there once. When it was about to come
up again they shifted the responsibility
all they could. Ar Smith. the leader.
told the bills sponsors that If they could
guarantee a. number Of votes necessary
to pass it he would have it called up.
Otherwise he didn't want TO "hurt the
bows" by forcing them to go on record
again. The bill's undesirability was 80
generally recognized that the necessary
votes never We're obtanable.

Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from

If you are sick and miserable, and

womanly trouble--try Cardui.
Cardui is successful because it Is
composed of ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman

For more than fifty years it has been
used by women Of all ages with great
success. Try it. Your druggist sells it.

not know nor was he able to learn
whether legal adoption had been made.

LAUNCH PARTY IS
SAVED FROM WATERS
Six Detroiters After Spending Nine
teen Uncomfortable Hours on
Lake Finally Land Safely.

Detroit. Mich, July 26.-After being
tossed about Lake St. Clair in an open
launch for nineteen hours, the seven
Detroiters, believed to have been
drowned during Sunday nights gale,
managed, by heroic effort, to reach
Chatham, Ont, on Monday evening. All
suffered considerably from the expos
ure, and it is expected they will all
recover.
The party was composed Of William
August and Joseph Labadie, Andrew
Mybeck, Otto Lindenburg, Joseph
Hagstrom and the latter's nine
year old. Later in the after
noon they left Chatham in the launch
for the return trip to Detroit. Hardly
had they reached the lake than the
storm broke. The launch made good
progress, however, until far from
shore, when the motor ceased to work.
All night the six men fought the
storm as best they could, and when
daylight came 1t began to abate. With
makeshift oars they fought their way
back toward Chatham, which they fin
ally reached in safety.

WITH RELATIVES
GUARDIAN OF sEuLAH De HART
DECIDES 70 LET HER REMAIN
WITH D. EATON.

Sheriff Shan Campbell Of Jefferson
county with John A. Hugland an at.
torney from Fairfield, was in Of
tumwa yesterday in quest Of Miss
Beulah De Hart, one of the daughters
Of Sylvester De Hart whose death &C.
CURED some months ago at the county
farm. The girl had left the home OF
Attorney Hugland who was her
guardian appointed by the court IN
Jefferson county, and she came to Of
tumwa few days ago. It was
learned that she was with relative
here, and accompanied by Sheriff
Campbell Mr.. Hugland came here yes
terday to find the girl. She was
located with the family Of David
Eaton in the west end and an arrange
ment satisfactory to all concerned was
made whereby the girl will remain
with her relatives It will be recalled
that the De Hart children were much
in the public eye during the past year
and half. The family were nearly des-
|titute and charitably inclined persons
interested themselves in their behalf.
Their father resisted the efforts to
have his children taken from him and
placed in an institution and finally
through i'll health he was taken to the
county farm where he later died. The
two younger children were then taken
to home for children at Des Moines
where they are now located.

Iowan Makes New Tire.

Tabor, July 25.-J. A. Riggs, q
blacksmith of this place, has invented
an automobile tire that promises to
revolutionize the automobile tire bust
ness and may make him Independently
rich. if it proves thoroughly practical
as seems likely to be the case. The
new tire which he has invented Is
known as the Riggs automatic spring
tire. The tire is composed Of two
steel rims so made that it can be cas-
lily adjusted to any standard automo'
bile wheel. Twenty-four springs are
so arranged between the two rims. that
they work automatically and independ.
ent of the other, and each spring is
strong enough to bear 100 pounds
weight The outer rim of the tire is
covered with a heavy leather.
