SUPREME COURT
!. AFF|RmS RULING
FINDINGS OF LOWER COURT IN
TWO, ACTIONS APPEALED
WERE SUSTAINED.

In it's rulings handed down Tues.
day the state supreme court affirmed
the verdicts of the Wapello county dis
trict court In two cases, cases OF
more or less note on account Of the
great age Of one and the character
OF the other. The former was titled
Alois Schafer, executor VS.. M. e. Jack
son, L. o. Montgomery ct al and was
q suit to foreclose q real estate mort.
gage. The case was fled December
"a, 1902 and dragged along in the courts
largely on account of the absence
from town Of one of the defendants,
until last year. The appeal to the su.
preme court was taken May 20, 1911
The case was heard before Judge G.
w. Vermilion and was decided In
favor OF the plaintiff who was given q
decree against the defendant for
$1,285.
The second case was that Of Blair &
jackson vs.. Wells Fargo & Co., in
which the death Of two stations Of a
car load that were shipped by the Of
tumwa firm from Bloomington, ILL.,, to
Los Angeles, Cal, died enroute. This
was made the basis of damage &C
ton. The lower court awarded
Judgment to the plaintiffs for $3.50
and the costs ran up to $454.90. Judge
D, M. Anderson heard the case. A mo
ton to tax the attorney fees against
the defendant was denied by the lower
court and was appealed. The claim OF
the plaintiff was that the broken win.
dows in the car permitted the stations
to contract pneumonia from which they
died. *3

democratic ballot made miserable
moving with many precincts polling
less than ten votes and large num-

The democratic vote on the demo.
ratic ticket was a deep disappoint-
nent to the party leaders who cannot
recount for the showing. Repub-
leans are also somewhat disappointed
sver the failure to get out the regular
yote Of the city.
Under the illinois primary law the
ballots Of the different parties are
printed In different colors. The repub-
hcan ballot was pink, the democratic
ballot white. The fact that the Rock
island democrats preferred to vote the
republican pink ballot does not neces-
mrily indicate their love for color, but

but who now fear, in the threat of free

ne leading publications Of the south
vince the days preceding the civil war,
publishes the following statement by
Charles A. Farwell, president OF the
American Cane Growers association:
II say frankly that l believe the
time Ii ripe for Louisiana to send rep
ublicans to congress"
The appeal of Louisiana to the beet
Buesr states Of the north, is because
We believe this is the time to demon
strste that the states Of the south and
the states Of the north are one in in
kerests, and old sectional lines should
be forgotten Louisiana has about
100000, 900 invested in the sugar in
dustry. Seventeen northern states
have the same amount invested in beet
sugar factories, but the interest OF the
northern states should be even more
strongly against free sugar because
the beet sugar factories Of the north
spend 500, 000, 900 q year in buying
beets of the farmers, and these north
ern factories. like those OF our own
state, spend many millions every year
IN wages to employees.
III the sugar trust wins it's fight to
eliminate the competition of the beet
sugar industry, the Louisiana cane
sugar industry will fall with the in
dustry In the north" -
The people Of the south say that the
democrats in congress are working
with the sugar trust to get free sugar,
but that If they do it will not lower
the price to the consumer, but will
ruin the independent manufacturer.
It Is interesting in this connection,
too. to note that the sugar trust has
been active IN opposition to President
Taft since his prosecution Of the sugar
customs frauds. which resulted in the
turning over of millions to the govern
ment by the trust, and in the prosecu-
Hon and Imprisonment Of prominent
men implicated in the sugar frauds.

ment. He has not profited by read
ing the papers. Surely the shortest
memory ought to retain the melan-
choly story of the rip and roar, and
ensuing silence, of Senator Davis Of
Arkansas. He was the latest Of a line
Of very ferocious gentlemen who have
gone to Washington with the fixed
and proclaimed intention Of making
the senate shrivel with shame under
the lash of the righteous indignation
of one honest man. Nobody who has
set out to do what Senator Ashurst is
confident that he can do has arrived
any where but in the headlines. Per-
haps Senator Ashurst will make a
speech or two upon the theme, and in
the manner promised. He will prove
a comedy relief in the tragedy of total
depravity he so greatly deplores: NAfter-
wards he will be forgotten unless he
proves the possession of real ability.
The senate has been orally tarred and
feathered on sundry occasions and ora
torically ridden upon a rail. It likes
the entertainment as much as the
press gallery enjoys it. It will well
come Senator Ashurst and he will be

Washington, d. c., April IL The
committee on the election of the
president, vice president and repre-
sentatives in congress will soon hold
a hearing on Representative Peppers
bill to change the day of national
elections from the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November to the
first Monday in November.
A large number of travelling men,
officers of various travelling mems or
CARNATIONS over the country, Will
come to Washington to appear at
this hearing and urge that the bill be
reported favorably. ".s -.
Mr.. Pepper introduced the bill be-
cause of the fact that many travel
ing men are disfranchised by the vot-
ing day coming on Tuesday Some Of
them are not able to stand the loss
of full days time and others are
compelled by their firms to spend the
whole week on the road If they could
vote early Monday morning, they
could still put in full time and also
have their vote. There is no reason
whatsoever for holding elections on
Tuesday, according to the advocates
Of the bill, and sufficient reason for
holding them on Monday.
The committee on agriculture has
decided to put off reporting any one
Of the oleomargarine bills until the
third session of the present congress
which convenes next December. The
two bills before the committee are
those introduced by Representative
Haugen of Iowa and Representative
Lever of South Carolina. For a long
time it was thought that the latter
would be reported favorably and that
Mr.. Haugen and his supporters would
have to carry their fight to the floor
of the house.
A subcommittee was appointed to
hold hearings and held several Of
them. They reported the Lever bill
to the whole committee which after
due consideration sent 1T back to the
subcommittee with orders to report
it out on December next.
There has been much agitation over
the country on the proposed changes
in the oleomargarine laws. The bill
introduced by Mr.. Haugen represents
the views of the dairymen who desire
a measure which will effectually pre-
vent margarine from competing with
butter as butter" They urge that all
dealers be forced to state whether the
article sold or served is butter or mar
garine and that all packages Of either
be branded and sealed as such.
