Where does political activity ceas' and criminal activity begin? IL seems that conditions in this country and in fact in many other countries but in none. perhaps so much as in this country at the present time might lead us to proper discussion of politics and criminaiity.
 How far, for instances may man be allowed to go in the use of per sonalities and individual invectivc in a political causec Where does the political aspect of an attack on party rival or political rival cease end the criminal attack begin?
 Of course there is distinction be- tween political defamtion and crim- inal defamation. and yet they lie so clcse together at times that the un- wary speaker or writer may vnwit' tingiy overstep himself and find that what he intended for simply a well painted political cartoon has turned upon him in Frankensien manner and developed into criminal libel.
 The license allowed in our country ia greater than ir any other and yet. while the press is considered free up to a certain point. 1t Is not imunc from prosecution when 1t oversteps the bounds of political defamation and enters into the realm of the per- se nal.
 The defense made by the political writer who uses the power of the piess for the personal or political ends of himself or of his party is thar H is political and therefor that he Is immune.
 The argument Is not sound. It has been used before and is found wanting.
 Anarchists who throw bombs int" the ranks of the constituted author ities claim that their purpose is po- litical and yet when they are tried and hanged for murder it is very evi- dent that the state looks upon the matter from a different angle and considers the act as criminal and not political.
 Undoubtedly the misguided striking workman who is led into the cxcssee cf throwing stones through the win d.ws of his empowers factory. or of .xtting Ire to his employers plant be- iieves that his act is political and nos criminal. But the law says otherwise and there is not yet case on record where the law has not been upheld.
 The men who instigated the dyna- mite outrages and their employees and dupes who carried out the wrccking oi bridges and buildings which re- suited in loss of life and property may have imagined that they were carEyinG on 2 political campaign with ti:s only means at hand. and yet. the law and the public sentiment of tho

1neTe ls uisCuSStOh oS JUL aS t'0 art of printing older mayhap. for it wns probably being indulged in long before the press and the editorial hack and the long haired reformer were ever thought of. It Is the old end much worn discussion of the question does prohibition prohibit ?'' Tees the closing of the saloon. the making of a town "dry" actually re- duce the consumption of alcoholic beverages?
 This question of prohibition Is be- ing discussed more and more fin the states of the union. Constantly new h oaiities are voting themselves "dry.' and some of them are again voting themselves hack into the class Of 'wets."
 All of this shows that the question is one that is stirring in the minds of the people of the country and one of these days 1t will cease to be n purely local one concerning only the individual town or city or section ana will assume national proportions.
 There are arguments put forward ou both sides of the question. Good arguments and bad arguments as is the case with any question concern ing the public veal
 In different localities the matter of prohibition has to be handled In diff ferent ways to meet different condi- ticns. but sooner or later 1t is a ques- ticn which will be put up to every community in the country. It may. when the national conscience has ad- vanced to a state where it can be trusted to handle itself on important matters be put up to the nation. but that day is far far off and the coun- try is not yet ready to pcss national legislation on matter which is of purely local importance.
 But to return to the question as 10 whether or not prohibition prohibits.
 Without entering into discussion of the good or bad points of doing away with public drinking places 1t will be of interest to note what has occurred in one state of the union which Is progressing towards the ultimate goal of state wide prohibi- tion. This will be especially intel :. esting as Ohio. which may be taken as an example. Will give an indication Of what California and other states that are preparing to pass state wide prohibition laws may expect. The figures are quoted from the Cincin- natl Enquirer.
 The paper above mentioned says. with the sale of intoxicants forbid den in half of the counties and with fewer saloons than there were when the crusade began. There Is actually more alcoholic beverage The drying up of the pub- iN uTuNut6 ptaCe HUE VSott 1tVV0yp but there has been apparently a com pensation in the more liberal use of the drink that cheers in the home.
 The closing of the saloon. then has not decreased the amount of aico- hollc beverage consumed. but has shifted the place of consump- tion and as the statistics of the state of Ohio show there Is more alcohol consumed since the closing of one- third of tho saloons than there was hcforc they wers closed.
 The police records show that wi:h the shutting up of the public drink ing places there sprang into being that worst of ali evils connected with the use of alcohol. the blind pig" The records will also show that th,rc have been more cases of intoxicatson ,nu more crimes directly traceabl. 10 slncs the 'biind pig" an'

the sixth, Huston kindly allowed two
Centerville base runners to steal
home from third and the indulgent
spirit exhibited by Huston evident

they very generously allowed the
Centerville boys three more tallies
in the next inning, taking none for
themselves, thereby pocketing defeat
to the tune of to 5. After the
first two stolen scores by Centerville
the locals played all right, but it was
no use. The Centerville pitcher, as
we'll as the whole team, frightened
up after the fifth and there was
nothing doing after that on the Web

Gravel Roads We're Good.

Webster City people who were out
in their automobiles after the big
rain of Saturday night and Sunday
morning found the graveled roads
leading out of town in fine condition.
The road north and west as far as
Oak Glen church was fine, as it was
northeast past Cass Center. But
when one reached the end of the
gravel the roads became heavy and
more or less muddy. The Dakin road
east of the city was also fine as far
as the gravel went, as was the Mil
lard lane road. This simply demon
strates that a hard rain does not SER
iously affect gravel road and that
when we get that kind of surfacing
all over the county, automobiles can
go anywhere at any time, except
when snow interferes.

MUCH ROAD WORK
IS MAPPED OUT
The Hawkeye Highway Will be Com
pleted First-Nearly $4,000
Available.

Automobile drivers who drive
through many of the counties Of
the state have found much fault
with roads in Hamilton county
They say that the roads here are
among the poorest in the state and
that as soon as they get out of Ham
ilton county road conditions begin
to improve. Possibly they do not
give Hamilton county as much cred
it as she deserves. Soil that produces
big crops is not the best material
from which to make roads. The
black, rich soil for road purposes
needs sand and gravel and in many
parts of Hamilton county sand and
gravel are hard to get. But the
next few months is going to witness
great changes in the roads of the
county. It is planned to begin work
soon on the improvement of the
Hawkeye Highway from the Hardin
county to the Webster county line,
and Auditor Peterson informs the
Freeman Tribune that he thinks the
work, so far as grading and drain
age is concerned, will be completed
in six weeks. Then it will be neces-
sary to gravel the road, practically
from one end to the other.
Last week Contractor Ryan of
Council Bluffs was in the county
looking over the roads and is going
to submit to the board some prices
for grading, cutting, etc., and it Is
likely the board will let some con-
tracts in the near future.
There is nearly $4,000 in the
county road fund and this money
should be expended. 1t is there for
that purpose and will go far toward
making our roads what they should
be. The people will not complain
at legitimate expenditures for i'm
proving the highways. All they
want to know is that each dollar
is made to render one hundred cents
worth of service.

JUDGE C. c. LEE

Two Years Hence.

Ames, June 23.-When asked yes.
terday morning regarding the rumo1
that has been going the rounds .of
the press for the past week, to the
effect that he would be a candidate
for governor in 1916, Judge G. G.
Lee refused to make any definite
statement.
"Two years is a long time," said
the Judge, "and it is hard to tell
what may happen between now and
1916"
Judge Lee has rented Office rooms
and will open up his law Office In

building on his Main street property
this year but has decided to delay
the erecting for this year at least.
He has been spending the past two
weeks resting after his vigorous
campaign.

side Park-The Score is
z to s.

The ball game between the White
Sox and the Centerville team in
this city yesterday afternoon was a
great battle, a ten inning contest,
both sides fighting every inch of the
fray from start to finish. 1t was a
sort of batfest, a hit and run af-
fair. Both sides bagged ten clear
hits and each side made a change in
pitchers. e.
Centerville started the fireworks
in the first inning by securing one
score. In the third inning, with the
bases all filled, Corbin for the White
Sox swatted a two Dagger, bringing
in the three base runners. Smith
for Webster City followed this in
the fourth inning with three sack
er, scoring two men, but was put out
himself at the home plate. Center
Vile made two more tallies in the
fifth, two in the eighth, and one in
the ninth inning, while the White
Sox scored one in the sixth, making
the game a tie at the close Iof the
ninth period. In the first half of
the tenth inning, Centerville pound
ed out two scores, while the White
Sox succeeded in sending one lone
man across the home plate, losing
the game to Centerville by the score
of Z to s.

HOME FROM nation
AL N. ". A. CAMP
Insurgents Defeated and Unseated,
But Won Substance Of
Victory.

John D. Porter, P. j. Brandrup an
w. J. Hubacher returned yesterGa.
morning from the M. w. A. hea'
camp at Toledo, Ohio. The camp ad
journed Saturday night about mid
night after strenuous week be
tween administration and insurgen
forces. The regulars were at al
times in the majority and had com
plete control.
The contests from Iowa, Illinois
Nebraska, and Minnesota were
fought out before the creden
tial committee and later before tn,
convention. Sixteen insurgent dele
gates from Iowa were unseated
among them j. D. Porter from tht
10th district. Thirteen from Nebras
ka, fifteen from Illinois, and twenty
three from Minnesota were also un
seated.
The fight for the insurgents from
Iowa was made by w. S. Hart o.
Waukon, John D. Denison of Du
buque, c. w. Lyon of Des Moines
and J. D. Porter of this city.
The administration forces re-elect
ed all of the old officers by large
majority.
The 1903 indianapolis rates were
re-enacted, thus annulling the rates
decided upon in Chicago in 1912. Tt
all intents and purposes it was ar
insurgent victory, since the real is.
sue was fight against the Chicago
rates.
There is some talk upon the part
of the insurgents of further court &C
tion relative to the unseating Of the
insurgent delegates, who claim tt
have been elected in strict conform
ity with the bylaws of the order. I
is now understood that this matter
is in the hands of the national Law
committee of the insurgents. Tht
insurgents are confident that they
were illegally unseated, and that any
court will so determine.
