COY. EBERHART.

The guest of honor at the luncheon
OF the Board of Commerce In the Ho.
tel fuller Tuesday noon was Gov.
Adolph o. Eberhart, OF Minnesota,
who addressed the members on Some
| important problems of the state
Lieut.-Gov. John @. Ross, OF Michi-
gan, was introduced first by Presi-
dent McRae, and spoke on the import
ance OF the states working more In
harmony with one another. I'VE
should realize, said he, that what is
TO the advantage OF Minnesota Is
also to the advantage of Michigan.
This spirit of harmony should also
be carried into the relations between
the city and the country. What
helps Detroit helps my city OF Mus
kegon and every county In the state,
and what is TO the benefit of any por-
ton OF the commonwealth helps De-
troit."
President MeRae in introducing
Gov. Eberhart dwelt on the common
interests of the two states.

The Rev. d. H. Cooper. of the Grand
River-ave. Baptist church, in reporting

the church was now paying or a

tigating his case. Wife No. is sup
posed to abide In Honor, Mich, and an
attorney for her has interested him

and social life that they now come to
the city TO get. The first step In this
direction IL the consolidation of the
rural schools. The day OF the one
room district school has passed. The
rural schools must be consolidated
and offer greater advantages II we
are to keep the boys and girls on the
farm.
I'm Minnesota we have fostered
consolidated schools by giving them
money TO aid In their support pro-
vided they will put In practical
branches such as agriculture, domes-
tic sciences, manual training and
music. II Is our aim TO build up
country life and to teach the farmer
boy how to till the soil with the best
results. The consolidated schools al
so serve as social and civic centers
for the rural communities.
"To educate public sentiment to
make these reforms we must have
the support OF the commercial bodies
OF the cities. Much OF the credit for
the legislation that We have obtained
in Minnesota Is due to the earnest
cooperation OF the commercial and
bankers organizations OF the cities
throughout the state.
Another phase Of this problem In
wolves the building of good roads, for
the rural communities cannot make
use OF the consolidated schools IL the
roads are impossible. In this also
the commercial organizations OF the
cities can render valuable assistance"

REEVES WINS HIS CASE.
Judge Hobson Declares Farmers CO.
Operative Society as Organized
Illegal.
MUST NOT Enact A PENALTY.
Case Has Far Reaching Influence
Over Entire Country, and De-
cision Was AnxiOusly
Awaited.

The decision of Judge Hobson in
the case of Henry Reeves VS.. The De-
corah Farmers Cooperative Society
was filed last Wednesday afternoon,
just after Public Opinion had been
printed. The decision is in favor of
Mr.. Reeves and against the farm
ers' company.
One of the bylaws of the company
was that any member of the COM
pany selling hogs to any one except
the company, must pay into the
treasury of the company five cents
per hundred weight. This penalty
amounted to about s25 per car. The
farmers company also went into the
open market and bid for hogs from
men not members of the company.
Mr.. Reeves complained to the court
through his attorney, E. r. Acres,
that this was a combination in re-
straint of trade and an unlawful
conspiracy, and if continued would
drive all competitors out of business
and create a monopoly for the COM
pany. Judge Hobson's opinion and
decree perpetually enjoins the farm
ers' company from conducting its
business in that way.
The case is without a precedent
and was watched with interest
throughout the whole country, for it
vitality effects the farmers co-opera-
tive society in every line of business.
1t means that members of farmers
companies cannot be required to re-
pay any part of the money received
from a competitor; that a farmers
company, in any line of business,
must compete in the open market
with the public at large and with its
own membership the same as any
other concern.
The case is of such wide interest
that we print the opinion of Judge
Hobson as follows:
Two questions are before me for
consideration. The first, are the acts
of the defendant unlawful, and, sec
ondly, should an injunction issue to
restrain such acts if found to be
unlawful?
1t seems that the acts complained
of and all of which are disclosed by
the record are within the provisions
of Chapter 225, Acts of the 33rd
General Assembly of Iowa, and par
ticularly the following provision of
said chapter, viz: "Or to do or per-
nit to be done by his or their au-
thority any act or thing whereby
the free action of competition in the
buying or selling of any article or
commodity of commerce is restrain
ed or prevented
AS to the remedy, paragraph GIG,
Vol. s, page 1912 of Pomeroy's
Equity Jurisprudence, 1905 edition,

crime. 1t is often offered as
the general principle of equity, that
an objection to an injunction that
where there is ground for equitable
interference, and where an irrepara-
BILE injury is threatened to property,
the fact that the act is also crime
is no reason for refusing an injunc-
ton. But equity has no criminal
