things we believe are spiritual. Herein
lies the true distinction between brutes

the human being not only knows, but

marital relation would not be endur-
able, and would soon cease to exist, and
society itself would crumble- to pieces,

so not Enthusiastically Indicating that

by complainant. did not observe the
limitations placed upon him in a for
mer suit in which the court ordered
that no persons other than complain
ant could use the words "Webster's
Dictionary" "Websters Universal Die
tionary." or any equivalent thereto, up
on the title page or upon the back or
cover OF dictionaries, or in any adver-
tisement referring to dictionaries, u11-
less accompanied by the following
statement plainly printed upon the
title page, and in each advertisement,
namely: This dictionary il not pub
lished by the original publishers of
Webster's dictionary or by their sue
cessors." It was not held, however,
that the above precise explanation, and
no other, must always be used. but the
court was Of the opinion that the use
Of that language would exonerate de-
fendant from liability for using the
name webster" in association with its
dictionaries. The copyrights for the
original Webster dictionaries have ex-
pired. Complainant based its case
solely upon the charge Of unfair COM

on the original dictionary prepared by
Noah Webster.

TIFF SEWING MACHINE IN THE CORNER.

The real sewing machine isn't much
Older than a veteran Of the civil war.
Away back in 1890, nine years before
the grandfather Of the editorial writer,
who is making this resume, was porn
a crude attempt had been made at
sewing machine. It was improved up
on by various experimenters thru sue
ceeding years but it wasn't until 1916
that a really practical machine was
produced. And these earlier machines
compared to those Of today we're crude
affairs. But they did the business, The
yalue of the product in 1850 reached
s4,4o3,20s. The product OF sewing ma
chimes in the United States at presen,
is close to $50, 900, 900 in value annually.
Sewing machine exports from the
United States for the current year will
probably reach s1o,O00,o0O in value,
thus breaking all previous records.
From 1864, the earliest year OF milich
tic in this Yankee notion" over $780,
OOO, 900 worth Of American sewing ma
chimes have been sent abroad. In that
time the annual expectations have in
creased practically tenfold, and it is
an interesting fact that sS0,o00,000
worth, or about one-half the total,
have bssn exported in the last twelve
years. In the period between 1854 and
1870 the exports of sewing machines
from this country aggregated only a
little more than they foot up now in
tho course Of a single year, that is to
ray, $4,000, 900. From 1870 to 1880,
however, they increased to 31s,000,0O0,
between 1880 to 1890 to $4,000 600;
they ran up to over $3o,000,00O in the
following decade, and in the next to

uNI1lke The IOWA DELEGATION.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er is anxiously interceding with the
Standpat delegates from Iowa for the
united support of the delegation for
Senator Cunlmins. These met in Des
Moines the other day and presumably
resolved upon course of action. How
ever, they gave out no information for
publication and the Register and
Leader is still in the dark as to the
eeffct of it's mingled admonition, sug-
gestion and pleading.
Most of these are anti-Cummins
delegates Some of them are Cum
Minis haters who sit Up late nights TO
enjoy hating him. OF these latter they
were mainly in the game to block
Cummins. one very prominent dele
gate had played a hand against Cum
minis to his own very bitter defeat.
With a number Of sets against him
and no chance to win a pot for himself
his policy is to sit In the game and
smear" everything in his hand where
If President Taft shall find himself
so sufficiently deserted as to utterly
destroy the hopes of himself and his
supporters there isn't much doubt that
some Of the standpat delegates will
gladly get into line for a real Iowa
candidate. There is no doubt that the
ho-fIa h,ou-p Cum, minis hstars will turn
every trick before they give his candi-
dacy a pleasant smile and that if the
Iowa delegation ever is united for the
Iowa man it will be 50 because Of the
necessity of face saving. That is the
conclusion to be drawn from past per-
fo-mance and present form. OF course
it may turn out differently The man
up a tree sometimes is mistaken in
politics.
But. Senator Cummins' name will be
presented to that convention by his
friepds and his delegates from Iowa
for the convention 10 deal with as it
may see fit. That was all that was
intended by the promoters Of the Cum
Minis candidacy His name will be
there for the convention to choose II
it shall desire to 60 SO. That is about
all there is to 1t. That is about enough.
The Cummins candidacy is dark
horse proposition. The senator and the
state will have their chance in spite
of the political tong and it's hatchet
men. Moreover those chances bright
en- as the days pass. Note the Boston
transcripts Washington bureau re-
porting to that paper The talk at
present centers more upon Senator
Albert Cummins of Iowa than anyone
else"
OF course it would be fine to have
Iowa represented by delegation SOL
idly favorable to Cummins And az
events seem to be shaping themselves
perhaps it would be wise from an
ant;-Cummins point Of view.
