KIPLING'S LAST POEM
SAID TO BE SEDITIOUS

J. Martin, NJ. p. Says He VIII Ask
Attorney General What He Is Co
ing TO DO.
London.-J. Martin. NJ P, gave no.
tice that he will ask the attorney gen.
eral if he intends to prosecute Rud-
yard Kipling for the offense of sedi-
ton growing out of his verses entit-
led ''Ulster" and whether he intends
to prosecute the publishers of the
verses and the printers who set up
the type.
The poem was a bitter denunciation
of home rule upholding listers oppo-
sition to the measure. The reward
for listers. faith was pictured as:
To murder done by night,
To treason taught by day,
To folly, sloth and spite,
And we are thrust away.
Martin declared Kipling was clear
ly guilty of sedition as were those
who had any part in giving publicity
to the verses.

ing DR.. c. j. Smith, acting for the
school district, called attention to the
fact that an annex is to be built to
the Lincoln school and suggested that
that school should be given facilities
for the removal of its sewerage. The
matter was referred to the sewer COM
mittee, which last night made the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted
unanimously:
Pendleton, Ore. April II, 1912.
Hon. Mayor and Common Council,
City of Pendleton.
Gentlemen:-We, your committee
to whom was referred the communi-
cation from the school board of Dis
trict No. 16, regarding sewer extern
sion on the north side of the river,
and south of Jackson street in the
city of Pendleton, recommend that
the city engineer be instructed to
draw up plans and specifications for
sewer extension, to include the entire
district south of Jackson street and
east to the old Pendleton academy
buildings on Bush street.
AS the Lincoln school building has
no sanitary sewer connections and a
large sum of money is about to be
spent in remodeling the building, we
deem it expedient and due not only
to school District No. 16. but to the
entire section of the city concerned
that proper sewer mains be laid and
connected with the main line sewer
on West Court street.
The estimated cost of the proposed
sewer extension is about $4,000, an6
in accordance with the charter
amendment proposed by initiative pc
tition and voted on at the specia
election held May 3. 1911, the City Of

COMMISSION WILL SUGGEST
REVISION OF INSURANCE CODE
Governor West Names Fifteen For
Important WorlN-Seven Being In

surance Commissioner Heads Body.

G. NJ. Rice, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Pendleton, has been
honored by Governor West through
appointment on commission of is
that is to suggest a revision of the
insurance laws of the state and en-
body their views in a report to the
legislature next winter.
Thus far Mr. Rice has not been of
ficially informed of his appointment
but he is expecting a call for meet
ing of the committee within a short
time. The commission will deal with
a subject in which the local member
is interested, but Mr.. Rice says he is
even more interested in the subject
Of blue sky law than in the re-
vision of the insurance code.
The following story from Salem tells
of the appointment of the insurance
commission.
Salem, Or, April 1f.-Following the
recommendation of the state insur-
ance commissioner, which was en-
bodied in the governors message to
the last legislature, Governor West to-
day appointed a comission of Is
members to revise the state insurance
laws and submit report in the form
of recommendations to the next leg
islature The present laws are said
to be inadequate for the proper pro-
lection of the public. This commits
sion includes seven practical insur-
ance men, representing various kinds
Of insurance, and seven laymen. The
fifteenth member is State Insurance
Commissioner J w. Ferguson.

Pendleton has power to issue and dis

issued for sewer extension duri.g

However. We deem it unwise to in
cur further bonded Indebtedness, not
withstanding the power delegated to
the council, and would recommend
that the cost of the proposed sewer
extension be paid out of the general
fund, or if it be found that the gen.
eral fund cash is running low, issue
an amount of bonds actually necessary
to construct the proposed extension.

to feel ]ight-hearted and even friv-
olous. Walking down the street with

their way to the Jail he slapped

MCC|NNIS IS CHAIRMAN
Of the Democratic State Convention
to be Held at Cedar Rapids on
Thursday, July 25th.

At the meeting of the democratic
state committee held at Des Moines
on Monday, Hon. M. F. Heaiy, of Ft.
Dodge, was selected as temporary
chairman of the first state conven-
tion which will be held at Burling-
ton on May 9th, and Hon. V. r. Nc
Ginnis, of Leon, was selected as
chairman of the state cOnventionstta
be held at Cedar Rapids on .'Uiy
25th. Des Moines made strong ef-
fort to secure both conventions but
Burlington offered bonus of $1,000
for the first convention as we'll as
other inducements, and Cedar Rapids
walked off with the second conven-
ton. The democrats are getting
tired of being held up by Des Moines
hotel men at state conventions and
the decision to take the convention
to other cities meets with the ap-
proval of the democrats all over the
state.
The selection of Mr.. McGinnis as
chairman of the state convention at
Cedar Rapids is particularly pleasing
to his friends in Decatur county and
all over the eighth district. He is
one of the best orators and political
speakers in the state and will make
an ideal temporary chairman. Mr..
Healy had secured the pledges of a
majority of the members of the COM
mittee for the place as chairman of
the first convention before Mr.. Nc
Ginnis' name was mentioned, SO the
committee made him chairman OF
the second convention, and it is an
honor worthily bestowed for he has
always been ready to devote his time
and money to the success of the DEM
ocratic party.
The committee also decided to
hold no presidential primary in Iowa,
each county being free to select their
delegates to the convention in such
manner as they see fit, either by vot-
ing at the primary or by convention.
