MANY CONTENDERS
 FOR GRAND PRIZE
Candidacy of Contestants Elevated to High Stand ing of Worth by Republi- cans Prestige for Leader ship in Journalism.

The big race is being run a full speed now. and there is every indica- ton of some lively work being done by each candidate whose progress has placed her prominently in the lists as contending for the Mitchell Touring Car. $500 in gold and trips to the Coast offered by this paper.
 Sixteen days from today the con- test closes. This means d great deal to the contestants and every person interested must now realize that in short time it will be necessary to make the best showing possible so that when the final day arrives your favorite candidate will not be lagginS due to failure on his or her part to take advantage of the opportunity held out in votes.

 .In a political campaign much talk is wasted and q great deal of time and energy spent in trying to con vince people that they should vote for certain candidate All this time and energy is wasted because those doing the talking have nothing which IS popularly apealing to either their can ddate's personality or his cause Here in The Republicans voting contest there are many strong contenders for ' the grand prize-the Mitchell Touring | Car.

didates have a cause which Is popu- larly appealing and which of itself calls forth such support as will make winners of the workers.
 The time which remains will be utilized by the hustlers.
 If you are hustler this means that each day will count greatly to your credit and gain in the contest Go in to win as though this were the closing of the contest. Rally your friends and see that they rem ain loyal during the remaining days of the race Everything which can be done to help yourself should be done. Perseverance this far has revealed the possibility of finishing a winner and the knowledge that every contestant coming in first second or third in their respective contest districts will win cash prizes or trips should furnish the incentive to figuratively throw the clutch into fourth speed, open the throttle wide and settle down to a mile-a- minute finish. which will make all others whom you pass look as though they hadn't started.

Chancellor Pitney's Confirmation.

It is hardly likely that the protest Of the Iowa federation of labor in the confirmation of Chancellor Pitney as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States will have any consider able weight with the senate. Not be- cause the protest is voiced by the federation of labor but because it is that kind of protest that should not be made by anybody
 The objection to Chancellor Piney is not that he is not a high minded and competent man: not that he does not know the law; not that he has not followed the law in his decisions. but that some of those decisions have been allegedly inimical to the cause of working people.
 \ brief review of this situation will make it perfectly plain to everybody that this protest is of d character which, if needed. would do harm to the institutions of this country; more than that. it would do harm to the working people themselves.
 Let us suppose a case. Let us sup pose that Chancellor Pitney were a man disposed to go beyond the law and favor the Iowa federation or any other federation or body of men. Let us suppose that Chancellor Pitney should carry his sympathy with the Iowa federation to the extent of ov- erturning the well established pro- cedure of courts of equity-wOuld society at large-Would the Iowa fed eration itself feel that it's interests were safe in the charge of such a man? There is a proverb which says the man who will steal for you will steal from you when he gets the chance And the sworn official who will show an illegal favoritism for any man or body of men will show favoritism to the other side if it should become his interest so to do. It is not to be supposed for moment that the interests Of the working people of this country would be safe in the hands of any judge who shows favoritism for anybody.
 This problem of equity jurisdiction is not so difficult as We are apt to believe But it cannot be solved by putting judges of one kind or another on the bench. If the judge is honest he will stand by the law no matter who may oppose him. And if he will not 50 stand by the law he has no business on the bench.
 So it is not a question of the ap- pointment of this judge or that judge it is a matter of legislation. If the jurisdiction of courts of equity is too extensive it should be circumscribed. But it is short sighted, to say the least. to ask any court or any judge

There are some real possibilities in the Ray case but it is doubtful if they ever will be revealed. A good precedent exists in the Everglades matter. In connection with that pro- ceeding Solicitor McCabe submitted, under oath, a list containing the names of a number of congressman who are said to have been grating off the government. But the investi- gating committee not only turned down the list, but refused to permit the names to go on the record. ln- vestigations that don't investigate are not likely to awaken any considerable confidence on the part of the public

Typhoid is often spread by pa

CHANGE IN CATHOLIC
MARRIAGE
LAWS.

st. Louis, July q. Pope Plus
has repealed the famous Ne
Temerc" decree, compelling
Protestants who marry Catholics
to sign an agreement to rear
their children in the Catholic
faith. according to the Western
Waterman, the organ of the
Catholic church in this city.
Neither will they be obliged to
pledge themselves not to inter-
fere with the Catholic consort's
performance of religious duties.
Ne temerc" was a decree is
sued by Pope Plus himself at
Easter, 1908. It obliged every
Protestant wishing to marry
a member of the Catholic faith
to sign an ante-nuptial promise
that he OF she would refrain from
interfering with the Catholic in
the act of his or her religious
duties.
Further the non-Gatholic was
required to pledge himself or her
self to have all the children
raised from the marriage bap-
tized Catholics and educated in
the Catholic schools.
The decree required that these
promises be made and signed be-
fore the priest who has to per-
form the marriage ceremony.
In cases where non-Catholic per-
sons refuse to so obligate them
selves, no priest was allowed to
marry them. under punishment
of being suspended himself. If
the couple went to a Protestant
minister and was married the
Catholic party to the marriage
was exeommunicated.
According to the instructions
contained in the repeal Of the
Ne temerc, a priest, even IN
the face Of a refusal to sign the
agreement may perform the cere-
mony.

The HEALTH COLUMN
HOW THE PLAGUE Nay EN-.
TER THE UNITED
STATES.

Bubonic plague, the BLACK
Death of the Middle Ages, is
epidemic in South America. The
danger of the United States be-
ing invaded is by no means inn
aginary.
To appreciate how plague
might secure a f0othold in the
eastern portion Of the United
States, it becomes necessary to
consider the trade relations en-
joyed by New Orleans, Mobile,
Galveston, Pensacola, Key West
and Tampa, in order named.
The sea trade of these cities is
very large, and there is constant
intercourse with Mexico, the
Central American republics, Pan
anna, West Indies and the north
ern and eastern ports of South
and, in addition, indi-
rect communication with the
west coast of South America
through the Isthmus of Panama
Railway. In a lesser degree the
following ports also enjoy trade
relations as above described:
|GuIfport and Moss Point Missis-
sippi; Savhnah, Charleston, Nor
fork, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York and Boston.
Commerce from South Ameri-
ca through the Panama Canal
with its crowds of travellers and
sightseers, the green fruit
trade going to Atlantic and Gulf
ports and the Chinese and South
American crews, all possible
source Of infection.
Plague is threatening the
United States, especially the
.maratirne cities of the southern
and eastern coasts, and the time
for action has arrived. To the
south this warning should be
shouted from every hilltop and
go reverberating through every
dale and valley, before it is too
late. Two lengthy articles in a
recent issue Of The Journal Of
the American Medical Assoeia-
ton discuss this danger and
warn the medical profession of
the impending peril.
The plague situation IN the
American tropics to-day is alarm
ing. Thus far it has been given
scant attention. The completion
of the Panama Canal will in
crease the seriousness Of the
plague situation. To-day every
southern port, and especially
New Orleans and Mobile, are in
close relationship with lands in
which devastating epidemic dis
ease, particularly the plague, are
epidemic.
