believe we have today one of the
best rate departments of any commits
sion in the United States. And it
must be remembered that Mr.. Ket-
chum and Colonel Palmer had the
Judgment and foresight to approve all
expenditures that made the work pos
sible, Notwithstanding pressure from
few shortsighted newspaper editors
in the state who have constantly en-
deavored to discourage such work by
the commission.
Interest centered Here.
The oral argument before the inter
state commerce commission in the
| two cases lasted two days. Those
| taking part on behalf of Iowa were
| Messrs. Brookhart, Henderson, Rob.
bins, Guernsey and myself. The rail-
roads were represented by the follow
/ ing general attorneys from their
main Offices: Messrs Dickinson of
| the Rock Island, Wright OF the North
western, Hamburg of the Great West
ern, Dynes of the Milwaukee and
Scott of the Burlington. 1t has been
a real fight from start to finish.
My taking an active part in the ac-
ual handling of the cases was due first
i to the action of the Keokuk Industrial
Association, which requested Colonel
i S. w. Brookhart and myself to repre-
i sent Keokuk. Shortly thereafter a
controversy arose as to whether the
petitions in the Mississippi river case.
4 were properly drawn. This was fol
4 lowed by the commercial organiza
j lions of Dubuque, Davenport, Fort
Madison and Muscatine also passing
resolutions requesting me to take per
sonal charge Of their cases. I then
/ prepared and filed substitute petitions
/ upon which the case was tried. Later
Ottumwa and Fort Dodge requested
me to lake personal charge of theil
interests.
/ Prominent business men like Breen
of Fort Dodge, Fulton of Fairfield
Joy of Keokuk, Harper and Mahon OF
i Ottumwa and Spaulding Of Grinnell
4 men whose time is as valuable as
that Of any other men in the state Of
4 Iowa, made long trips to hearings Al
Il Chicago ard Washington, D. G., and
took the satnd, not only on behalf Of
!. themselves, but for all Iowa. 1t has
been an "all Iowa" affair, and no ono
mans job.
!, Most of my time for three years d
my life has been centered ON these
cases. / am proud, very proud, Of the
results. trust my friends and al
those who have helped in the work
will feel that their labors have beer
fully rewarded. The next census viii
help prove it.

the best class Of liquor dealers to be
favored with licenses. Is one OF the
most successful means Of regulation yet
devised. In South Dakota today the
900" law goes into effect and the total
number Of saloons in the state Will be
greatly reduced. The same process OF
selection In operating there to retain
the law-abiding dealer and eliminate
those who, will dodge the law at every
opportunity. In a number Of towns the
people were permitted to indicate what
dealers they wished to favor with IL
censes. elections being held for that
purpose and the city councils granting
licenses to those receiving the highest
vote.
There will be little loss in revenue
from this cutting down of the number
Of saloons. License fees have been
raised and the business will continue
to contribute heavily to the local ad-
ministration funds.

The gathering battles smoky shield;
Athwart the gloom the lightning
flashed.
And through the cloud some horse

And from the heights the thunder

Then. at the brief command Of Lee.
Moved out that matchless infantry.
With Pickett leading grandly down.
To rush against the roaring crown
OF those dread heights Of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
A cry across the tumult runs;
The voice that rang through Shiloh's
woods.
And Chickamauga's solitudes:
The fierce South cheering on her sons.

Before the awful face OF fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shrtvelled at the cannon's
mouth.
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayonet:
In vain Virginia charged and ragged.
A tigress in her wrath uncaged.
Till all the hill was red and wet:
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed
Men saw a graz, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud.
And heard across the tempest loud
The death-cry Of a nation lost!
The brave went down! Without dis
grace
They leaped to ruins red embrace;
They only heard flames thunder
wake.
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on glory's bloody face!
They fell who lifted up a hand.
AND pade the sun 81 heaven to stand
