Special to Times Republica n.

Special to Times Republican.
Los Moines, Feb. lin view OF the
record already made by the district
court here IN regard to laws the con-
stttutionality Of which were attacked
oy the state is not greatly disturbed
over the decision that the Iowa "blue
sky" law is void in every line and
paragraph.
Judge W. H. McHenry, who knocked
out the law. has this score to date on
constitutional questions.
Four Iowa laws held by him to be
unconstitutional. namely:
The Iowa law for hotel inspection.
held by McHenry to be unconstitution
al; held by the supreme court TO he
constitutional.
The law as to regulation of hack
stands in cities, held by McHenry Ia
be UNCONSTITUTIONAL; held by the su.
preme court to be constitutional.
The Iowa ice cream law. held nv
McHenry to be unconstitutional: NOT
YET passed on by the supreme court.
The Iowa "blue sky" law. held by
McHenry to be unconstitutional; also
held by him to violate federal consti.
tuition. but held by Judge Mcpherson
to not violate the federal constitution.
MeHsnry Wobbiina.
In view OF this record it was regard
ed as not strange that in deciding the
blue sky" law Judge McHenry added
paragraph indicating doubt in his
own mind as to whether or not his
decision was good but suggesting that
any way II he Is wrong there is a
tribunal that can correct his mistakes.
Judge McHenry held good. however,
what the attorneys for the state be-
lieved to have been the only weak
spot in the whole case, that in regard
to the manner of passage Of the bill.
1t will be recalled that this bill was
oungled in the senate when 1t was be-
fore the legislature and an amend
ment which had been adopted by the
house and properly messaged back to
the senate was ignored in the senate
and the enrolled and signed bill there
fore was not just as 1t had been agreed
upon. This was held to be all right.

Cedar Rapids Feb. 11.-Chief Of Po-
dealers agree sincerely not to sell
guns to colored people. he Will take
the permits away from the dealers
Chief Carl is determined to stop the
reckless sale of guns. The shooting By
Dan Williams Monday exhausted his
patience. Williams. evidently in a
rage. rushed to a second hand store,
ana purchased not only the biggest
revolver in the store. but the biggest
revolver that could be found in Cedar
Rapids.
Chief Carl is of the opinion that the
dealer could have exercised more
Judgment in selling such a gun, es-
pecially when the dealer knew what
colored men have done recently with
guns. The gun sold to Williams was
one OF the big range rcvolvers which
were used by cowboys in the days OF
the old wild west When asked why
he bought the gun, Williams stated
that when one buys n gun one ought
to get good one. He named several
makes of revolver which sometimes
miss fire. Get gun which will not
MISS" said Williams.
In recent months the police have
arrested many colored men who car
ried revolvers. Almost in every case
the revolver was one Of the biggest
the buyer could purchase. What the
colored men will do with the guns
can be inferred from the shooting
during which Detective Kroulik was
shot. Chief Carl is determined tc
stop the reckless sale Of guns.
At the present time each dealer has
q permit to sell guns. and every
time he sells one. he must register
the sale at the police station.

On Corn
And Canning
Clubs Thursday

All persons interested in the prof.
liable development of the lands in
this section ought to attend the lee
ture to be delivered on Thursday
morning at the Auditorium by Hon .
O. B. Martin, Of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture from Washing
ton, on Boys Corn and Girls Can
ming Clubs, to be followed right at.
forwards by demonstration of the
work of the Girls Canning Club, un-
der the direction of Miss Verda
Thompson. Miss Harris, director of
the department of home economics,
from the Florida State College for
Women, will also be present.
The farmers, generally, have been
content for years to raise from Is
to 20 bushels of corn to the acre {.
Here and there progressive farmer
would show that this yield could
easily be doubled and trebled. 1t
has remained, however, for the boys
of the farms to show dad" what
can really be done, and right on
some of Dads land (and not always
the best slice of it either) the boys
are producing from SO to 60 bushels
to the acre while the old man has
seemed to think he could not get
over 20.
In the same way, the Girls Can
ming Clubs are making larger re-
turns from the vegetables because
they are conserving what has hith.
reto been allowed to 60 to waste /.
After the profitable marketing of the
choicest products, at fancy prices,
the girls are taking the entire bal
ance of the various products and
preserving them for future use. The
work is being done scientifically un-
der the superintendent of the gov
ihrnment's agents, and consequently
the yield of an acre or tomatoes is
not limited to the first fruits of the
crop which can be quickly and prof
. itably marketed, but every pound is
taken care of and this canned pro.
duct is superior in every way to that
which we are importing right along
from Maryland and other places.

A VAST UNDERTAKING

The necessity of short cut from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean
was brought home to the people of
the United States during the war
with Spain and vast as the under
taking seemed at the time, in the
face of former failures, our govern
ment went at the task in a matter
of-fact manner and in a business
like way that should be lesson to
the towns and cities that make more
fuss over, and experience far
greater percentage Of waste money
in establishing waterworks, sewers
and street paving in their own COM
munities.
VAST UNDERTAKINGS become
comparatively simple in execution
when met by brains, energy and a
determination to spend money wise
ly and efficiently for the greatest
good. Brains have provided the
means, manufacturers have invented
the machinery, and If the voters
choose wisely, the MAN is in their
midst to administer the work. The
Panama canal is concrete example
of what determination and wisely
planned administration will accom-
plish.
The history, development and
completion of the Panama canal in
pictorial folders will soon be dis
tributed gratis by one of the pro-
gressive banking institutions in our
community. 1t will be profitable
and interesting to read it. 1897
