from the West Publishing Company.

PROFESSOR SMITH, HEALER
A sign reading as the above hung
over the door on the "Healer's" office
in Denver, Colo. He claimed his treat
ment was natural one-a gift from
the Almighty: said he could cure any
disease medical men could and many
they could not He belonged to the
church of The Divine Scientific Heal
ing Mission: preached the gospel and
healed the sick without the use OF
drugs or a knife: some he charged,
some ne did not: never turned any one
away. He could not tell whether pa
tients had govt, measles, or rhenma-
tism, bat he could cure them-ail he
had to do was to lay his hands upon
them. When indicted for "practicins
medicine without license" he claimed
to come within the exemption OF the
statute providing that the practice OF
the religious tenets or general beliefs
of an: church whatsoever. not pre-
scribine or administering drugs. should
not be prohibited. The supreme court
of Colorado, in Smith VS.. People III
Pacific Reporter, e12 in denying the
"Healer's" claim OF exemption, holds
that the statute did not authorize one,
under cover Of religion or religious ex-
ercise, to go into healing. commercially
for hire, using prayer as the curative
agency or treatment. and that such a
practice was the practice OF medicine
within the plain meaning Of the stat

CLARKE AND HOLDEN.
TShs!6or SUM-

The Sun realizes that what is
best for the farmers of Iowa is also
best for the Sun. We may not at all
times see things political just as the
farmer sees them. but it is our desire
10 be reasonable. to have possession OF
something tangible with which to
bolster our position. before taking
sides against anything that on its face
appears TO he in the interests of the
farmer. Now in the matter of the
candidacy Of Professor Holden, there
is grave doubt in our minds as to his
sincerity. IS TO whether he is a candi-
date IL good faith, hoping TO ne able
to be of benefit TO the agricultural
classes. or whether he has been in
Guced TO come out simply 10 defeat
another man who is known to be hos
tile 10 the standpat faction in the state.
We contend that Iowa farmers have
the progressive republicans to thank
for all legislation favorable TO them
that has been passed in Iowa in re-
cent years. If any faction of the re-
publican party has opposed square
deal" for the farmers. in state and ma
tional halls of legislation 1T has been
the standpar faction If the farmers of
IOWA nave mao q champion, IL lue
standptaters Of the state dislike any
man because he has fought their
schemes. that man is George W. Clarke.
our lieutenant governor. who is now q
candidate for governor as pro-
gressive republican. The bringing
out Of Professor Holden at this time
causes one who is looking for trick
cry to suspect that il is scheme of
the faction most interested in the de-
feat OF Clarke. Many of the leading
papers of the state openly declare that
there is an Ethiopian in the wood pile.
and they lay the responsibility for the
Holden candidacy to the door of the
standpatrers. If that be true. the Sun
can not do too much against him
and TO farmer car afford to sup
port him. 1t behooves every farmer
to ascertain the facts before making
any pledges. Professor Holden has been
considered honest, but he is not famil-
lar with politics. and he may have
been deceived.

The Register and Leader and other
disgruntled political forces have tin-
ally prevailed on Professor Holden to
resign a position in which he was do
ing a great educational work and
enter the field for governor where
the only result as far as he is con-
cerned is to make the nomination Of
Col. Dave Palmer possible. 1t is evil
dent that the professor has had little
experience in the political game and
believes that these malcontenu are
working for the good of the country
and have appealed to him as to Gin
cinnatus to turn from the pillow as
the only man to save the state. That
Mr. Holden has won wide admiration
for his practical work along certain
lines is admitted. but in politics he
would be venturing on an unknown
sea with advisers who care little
about anything beyond salving their
own political wounds and making
trouble for the other fellows. Their
desire for "a greater Iowa and all

THE POSSIBILITIES OF A Town lo1.n

AT one of the meetings Of the North

days of high living cost. valuable as
it is interesting for, this horticultural
list asserts. the little patch planted as
he suggests and well cared for will
supply good sized family with fruit
the year around by employing the arts
of canning and preserving.
First Langhom sets aside 4ov5o feet
in front. This gives ample space for
house, walks, and a nice fringe Of
ground for shrubs and flowers if de-
sired. He has now left a plat 50xl00
feet. Commencing on the side Of most
vision line he would plant row of
grapes. This row will hold twelve
vines, eight feet apart. For varieties
take two Moore's Early, two Worden,
one Pocklington. one Moore's Dimond,
two Wyoming Red or Lutte, and four
Concord. These vines when of prope,

inches from the ground, the second
forty-fve inches, and the third sixty
inches.
Next he would set two rows Of black
raspberries leaving a space Of six feet
between the grape row and the frs,
raspberry row, and also six feet be-
tween the two berry rows. For va
rieties he would take Older Kansas
Cumberland or Plum Farmer Plant
Older in one row, and two Of the 9TH
erse half and half IN the remaining
row. Leaving space Of six feet plant
row Of gooseberries and currants
half and half. Plant Downing o,

Next he would plant two rows o.
Strawberries, leaving a space of five
feet between the row Of gooseberrie!
and currants and the nrsl row o
Strawberries, with four feet between
strawberry rows. Use Senator DunlaI
for one row, and Warfeld No. for tn.
other. These are two old and tried va
rfeties that will give results.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
MEETS IN CHICAGO JUNE 6

New York, May lO.-The republican
national committee will meet in Chi
cago Thursday afternoon, June 6, 10
decide contests among delegates TO
the republican national convention.
The call for the meeting was is
sued Wednesday by William Hayward,
secretary of the committee. This will
be the earliest meeting held for many
years by the committee and will give
it u days TO consider contests before
the convention opens June IS.
Indications are that there will be
an unusual number of contests this
year. Mr.. Hayward said this had been
considered by Victor Rosewater, the
committees acting chairman, and him
self in sending out the call for the ear
ly meeting of the committee. A few
contests already have been brought
officially before the committees Off
GERS, and many more are expected, he
said, before the expiration of the time
limit for filing contests May %, 20
days before the convention.
Mr.. Hayward also announced that he
would place before the committee a
plan upon which he has been working
/ for some time that will effect the repre-
sentation of the south in republican ma
tiOnal conventions.
/ The principal objection to plans
previously suggested. he said, was the
elimination of the congressional dis.
trict as the unit representation. The
| plan he would submit to the commit.
tee would change the basis of repre-
! sentation and still retain the congress
siOnal district as the unit.
Mr.. Hayward added that he prefer.
red not to make public the plan until
/ 1t was submitted to the committee.
