: ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH.
Declares for Peoples Power in lniti-
alive and Referendum.

Declares for Peoples Power in Initi-
alive and Referendum.
/. #fufnbus, O., Feb. 22.-Declaring
: IT, the peoples power, so far as the
;, initiative and referendum is con-
arned, although he wanted it's ex-
else protected by proper restric-
1ns," Col. Roosevelt today took the
IS lost progressive stand of his career.
q He also told the Constitutional
gronvention, before which he pres
'ented his charter of democracy" that
although originally opposed TO the re-
call, he now believed it also should
be within the power Of the people.
He qualified the recall for judges by
suggesting what he said was 4 bet
ter plan, and avoided all reference
to the tariff and certain other nation
al issues by saying that he stood to-
day exactly where he stood year ago
on such matters.
THE power to invoke direct action,
both by initiative and by referen-
dunn said Col. Roosevelt, should
be provided for the people in such
fashion as to prevent its being wan
tonly or too frequently used. In the
great majority OF cases it is far bet
ter that action on legislative matters
should be taken by those specially
delegated to perform the task. Ac-
ton by the initiative or referendum
ought not to be the nominal way Of
legislation, but the power to take it
should be provided in the constitu-
ton, so that if the representatives
fail to fully represent the people on
some matter Of sufficient Importance
to arouse popular interest, then the
people will have in their hands the
facilities to make good that failure. "
Legislators and judges alike are
the servants of the people" he said,
land if these two sets Of public SER
wants disagree as to the amounts OF
power delegated to them by the peo-
pie under the constitution, and il
the case is of sufficient Importance
then, as a matter Of course, it should
be the right of the people themselves
to decide between them"

IOWA WOMAN
is ACQUITTED

Council Bluffs, Aug. 5.-Mrs. viii.
liam M. Brown, former Council
Bluffs woman, who shot and killed her
husband at Laramie, Wyo., recently
has arrived here accompanied by her
brother, Clyde Hunt of Council Bluffs.
Mrs. Brown was arrested but was re-
leased after an investigation by the
coroner and jury, the verdict being
that, 'the deed was done in self-de.
tense and fully justified"
Reports of the shooting were not
correct, says Mrs. Browns brother
one statement to the effect that Brown
was shot while his wife had her arms
about his neck being entirely incor
rect. The shooting was done at the
termination of a violent quarrel and
while Brown was attacking his wife
with a knife. 1t develops that Brown
demanded that his wife, who is In a
delicate condition, leave him and per.
NIT him to secure divorce in order
that he might wed another woman
whom he declared he loved more than
Mrs. Brown. When she refused to &C
cede to his demands he then attacked
her.
Neighbors testified that after he was
mortally wounded Brown continued to
abuse his wife and called for the wo-
man whom he wanted to marry. Mrs.
Brown testified that her husband had
kicked her in hopes of preventing her
becoming a mother, and a physician
testified to injuries sustained by Mrs.
Brown. Mrs. Brown has brother liv.
ing in Wymore, Neb.

SHAW AT COUNCIL
BLUFFS TODAY

Council Bluffs, Aug. 5.-The short
line syndicate failed to make the S25,.
600 payment on the purchase price of
the Atlantic Northern & Southern rail.
road at noon Saturday, as was ordered
by Judge Wheeler early in the week,
but instead secured another extension
of time until o'clock this afternoon.
Under the order issued by Judge
Wheeler Tuesday the $25, 900 was to be
paid before noon Saturday, and if it
were not forthcoming the date for the
resale of the road was set for August
8. A draft was rendered at that time,
and it was expected to have this con-
verted into cash by Saturday.
Former Governor Leslie M. Shaw
will be here today to take charge Of
negotiations in person, it is expected,
and 1t was this fact which prompted
Judge Wheeler to grant a brief ex-
tension. Mr. Shaw is now in Chicago,
where he was reached by telephone
Saturday forenoon and announced his
intention of visiting Council Bluffs to.
day.
Governor Shaw is the head of the
syndicate which bid in the Atlantic
road and has had personal charge Of
the work Of floating the $5,000,O00
bond issue, spending several weeks in
Europe for this purpose. 1t is expected
that he will be able to give definite
information concerning the present
status of the transaction.

IOWA ROADS and
CROPS The BEST.
DIES MONIES MAN RETURNS
FROM AUTOMOBILE TOUR AND
is VERY OPTIMISTIC.

Des Moines, Aug. 5.-Max Shloss,
who has just returned from an auto.
mobile trip that covered several mid
die west states, says Iowa roads are
far better than those of adjoining
states. "Give me Iowa roads every
time" said Mr. Shloss. Il have mo-
ltored through Wisconsin, Indiana and
Illinois, and after being bumped and
was mighty glad to strike the smooth,
admirably kept Hawkeye highway
which runs west from Dubuque. This
highway splendidly illustrates what
can be done to a road by vigilance in
dragging. l hate to say it, but the
worst roads l struck in Iowa were in
Polk county. Bad as the cross coun-
try roads are in Wisconsin the auto
list has some consolation in the several
miles OF macadamized roads that furn-
ish easy approaches to most of the
towns.
when it comes to question Of
crops, Iowa is entitled to the sweep
stakes. From Milwaukee l went
through different parts of Wisconsin,
Indiana and Illinois, and while crop
conditions in these states are excellent
they cannot com pare with the glorious
harvest fields and the marvellous corn
fields Of Iowa. 1t looks to me like one
Of the biggest crop yields in the his
tory of the country
Mr.. Shloss is of the opinion that
Notwithstanding the political turmoil,
politics will have little effect upon the
fall business There is not the talk
over the presidential outlook that one
would suppose" he said. THE excite
ment attendant upon the Chicago con-
vention seems to have exhausted itself
and excepting the politicians the people
are beginning to look at the three
cornered contest in a complacent
manner

To the Editor of The Courier,
Dear Sir:-Below are few ex.
tracts from the secular press which
believe will be of great interest to our
citizens.
Raids on suspected unlawful liquor
joints are getting to be habit with
the police. Yesterday Toney Frace
and Josie Rendie were arrested at 301

ties of beer and two tubs full OF the
liquor were seized" Des Moines,

"Galesburg, ILL.,, July 30: On &C.
count Of the great increase in drunk
enness here since the return of sa-
looms, dramshop keepers themselves
have become alarmed and at recent
meeting concluded to ask Mayor Brad

troll the saloon district and prevent
people from imbibing too much. Sa-
loon men gave it out that they desired
this move in the interest of sobr1ety."

New York, July 90: AS result OF

management of the Delaware Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad following

Chicago Record Herald, July 80, 1912.
Carefully prepared statistics show
that last year new churches were es.

rate of eight day, and that saloons
went out Of business at the rate Of

HOUSE ON KNOXVILLE
ROAD IS DESTROYED

Oskaloosa, Aug. 5.-Fire Saturday
destroyed the old Logue residence
about half mile west of town on the
Knoxville road Fire started on the
roof of the building in the attic. The
flames had considerable Roadway
when discovered and were beyond
control. Two thrashing crews were
at work within half mile and an
abundance Of help was soon at the
scene, but they could not control the
blaze. Almost all of the household
goods in che building were saved. Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Gibbons and family
were occupants Of the old family
home at the time. Mrs. Gibbons was
a daughter of the elder Logue. The
old building was a landmark on the
"old Knoxville state road" being built
years ago of the brick manufactured
on the ground in the early days of the
old Logue brick yard. The house
will probably be rebuilt at an early
day in an improved and modern way.

Mabel Trenton, wife of Sherman Tren-
tor, GIT South Fifth street. Mrs.
Trenton died early Tuesday morning
in a local hospital, to which place she
had been sent by other physicians who
had been called in the case The opera
ton was performed week ago and
the death took place two days later.
According to the statement OF DR..
Brown. who was called into the case
after members of the Trenton family
had become alarmed, the operation
was one of extreme crudeness in ad-
dition to criminal carelessness.
