THE NEW BARLEY CROP.

The barley harvest has gone along
mostly under good weather. so far,
and with continuation of favorable
conditions to the threshing there
should be secured a full yield of
heavy barley. The crop last year was
of neither good quality nor a full
Yield. Handlers of this grain en-
cepting for discoloration are quite
satisfied with the prospect. The har-
vest comes following a lean wear, and
though prices for higher grade barley
will be lower. the volume of that class
will be. it is hoped. greatly unless in
jured in quality before marketed. The
yield being large and the berry plump
this grain. with are in handling
should be fairly we'll balanced and
go largely into the upper grades. The
last years went too much to low
qualities and feed stuffs for farmers
to realize generally the price of malt
ing. The discoloration showing in
new samples seems to have come from
bad weather before harvested.

are talking of building an i%ndepend-

We Are Safe Now.

Rev. S. F. Peterson, the staunch-
est prohibition sheriff Maine ever
had, says: I'VE got the law. The
flag of prohibition was flung out
from the watch tower of the consti-
tuition, and the system was made a
part of the organic law of the state.
And then we said: I'VE are safe
now" The law will protect us. We
shall not need to go to the lodge or
the temperance meeting again. We
hardly need even to pray now. What
has been done? With the law have
We been able to abolish the saloons?
No. Drunkenness is on the increase,
especially among the young men. We
are utterly powerless to take the sa-
loon away from drinking men. There
is no temperance sentiment in Maine
today"
John A. Koran says: Many good
people are misled by the argument
that the failure of prohibition is after
all only relative and analogous to
the partial failure of all laws. This
argument is false because it ignores
the distinction between a partial
violation of law and the virtual
abrogation of that law and the sub
stitution and practice of different
system. The grievous thing about
the old prohibition states is not that
prohibition is imperfectly enforced,
but after years of barren experiments
the authorities have deliberately SUI
perseeded prohibition by a definite,
albeit, unlawful system of license.
The results of such conditions are
inevitably graver social evils than
those which the law processes to
eradicate. We are not essentially a
law abiding people. Habitual dis
respect and defiance of law consti-
tute one of the most serious dangers
to our form of government. What
must be the effect upon a community
when a law embodied both in the
constitution and statutes is violated
habitually, fiagrantly, and with the
undisguised connivance Of the chosen
authorities? Such a condition in
evitably breeds contempt for all law
leads to the corruption of officials,
and trading in politics with a law
! less and vicious element. In short,
unenforced and uncomfortable sump-
tuary legislation infects the social
body as with a dry-rot-it makes
violators, towards and hypocrites of
the best of men. This / conceive to
be the chief indictment against pro-
hibition as eXemplified in the United
States.

Wreck Sale is Taxed.

AT Sigourney the assessor perpe-
trated a good one the other day. He
saw wreck sale advertised and
made a call on the gentlemen there.
They advertised a $4,000 stock. He
went in and asked them how big a
stock they had and they said they
had $4,000 stock. He said he
was the assessor, and they almost fell
through the floor and weren't long in
telling him that they had bid high
and had only S1,250 worth. He told
them it would cost them $21, and
they claimed they had paid it, but
produced no receipts. They refused
to pay when the deputy treasurer
called for the money, but he soon
gave them to understand that they
were to come across, and they finally
did.-Sidney Herald.

General Rules Against
Building of Same i'm Waters
of Clear Lake.

Clear Lake, May 3.-According to
information received here Attorney
General Cosson has ruled against
building boat houses in the waters
of Clear Lake, and, of course, the
same ruling will apply to all water
in Iowa. Here there are possibly
fifty boat houses surrounding the
lake, and it has been the custom to
move the boats out of the water in
late fall and in the spring move
them back. The boat houses house
the launches, big and little, and are
a great convenience to those who
own launches. There has been a
protest on the part of some who
own lake shore property to putting
the boat houses there, and accord
ing to this decision from the attor-
ney general, there will be no way
out of it but to comply with the
requireemnts.

Girl Takes Her Life.

Red Oak, May 2.-The burial at
Stennett today of Miss Bessie Mellott,
who committed suicide near here,
was an unusually sad affair. Miss
Mellott, a young woman twenty
years of age, was living with Mrs.
Munson, nine miles northwest of
Red Oak. Friday evening the girl
left the house to do the milking and
when she did not return Mrs. Mum
son instituted a search, finding the
girl dead, hanging in the hen house.
The body was not found for several
hours after the girl had committed
the deed. A note was found giving
the names of the persons whom Miss
Mellott wished to act as pail bearers
at her funeral, but not hint of the
motive which led her to kill herself
She had always been of a cheerful
disposition. The girl was daughter
of George Mellott, residing at Stem

UNCLE SAM AFTER HoLBERTs.
Company Charged With Importing
Contract Labor.

United States District Attorney F.
E. Faville has filed a petition in the
Office of the clerk of the court in an
action to recover the penalty for i'm
porting contract labor. The defend
ants in the action are: A. B. Holbert,
Fred Holbert and Benjamin Holbert
of Greeley, Iowa.
The Holberts are importers of
horses and it is charged that they
have contracted with foreign labor
ers to come to this country to work
for them. The penalty for each Of
tense, according to the statutes is
$1,000. 1t is understood they stand
charged with numerous violations of
the statute.
The specific crime with which the
Holberts are charged is that after
purchasing horses in Germany, Bel
quinn, France or other countries of
Europe they would hire men to ac-
company the horses to this country,
at the same time contracting with
them to work for them (the Hol-
berts) after their arrival. 1t is said
to have been ascertained that these
foreigners were TO receive $40 per
month, if they continued to work for
the Holberts for a period of eight
months, but only SIS if they worked
a less time. 1t is also asserted that
the men brought over had all of
their expenses paid on the trip.
A large number of witnesses were
called and examined by the United
States attorney and a special exam
liner from st. Paul before it was de-
termined to bring action. Dubuque
