VINO MAkes PROSPERITY

President Underwood, of the Erie
railroad celebrated his homecoming to
Milwaukee this week by giving out an
interview to the effect that the present
business depression was due to auto
mobiles. moving picture shows and
fool legislation"
Since Clifford Thorne exposed the
incompetency OF several noted railroad
presidents at figures it may be per-
missable to question the wisdom of the
president Of the Erie road.
Business depression does not exist
upon the farms OF this land for more
men are at work In the fields today
than were ever at work there before
and the yield or output Of the fields
this year is going to exceed that Of
any year in the history OF the country.

SPEAKING OF SETH THOMAS.

An attorney Of parts writing from a
northern Iowa town mentions that he
has noted with interest the editorial
comment on the candidacy Of Ben. 1.
Salinger for supreme court Judge and
assures the Times Republican that he
is very glad to know that you have
the backbone to say a word for the in
tegrity of the Iowa supreme court, and
to lend your influence to keeping the
bench up TO the high standard 1t has
attained
The lawyer has more to say.
In the late primary Seth Thomas of FIT.
Dodge was nominated as one of the
six candidates for supreme judge. I
do not know anything about his moral
fitness, but am informed that he has a
good reputation at home. and ] am not
questioning that. But here Is what I
am questioning: On page ISL of the
Iowa State University Alumni Register
tSept. I'D I find this:
Thomas. Seth, LIB. 10, 3. Phi. '04,
N. A. 'O6 % Fort Dodge. Iowa
Here we have a young man who left
the law school in the year 1910 aspir-
ing to tie supreme tuds eship OF the
state, and so far he has been getting
away with it Think OF II? Why in
most counties 4-year- old lawyer does
well 70 be made county attorney. At
that stage of his professional career
he is doing we'll to be made justice o.
the peace. And Seth wants to sit with
Evans. and Deemer. and Ladd. and
Weaver Isn't that pretty nervy
Whatever else Seth may lack he cer-
tainiy can not be said TO be deficient
in modesey.
Look over the state and see the men
who are sitting on the bench in nisi
prius courts Men with twenty five
years hard, gruelling work in the Of
Ace and in the court room. Men who
are fit to grace the supreme bench OF
this or any other state. And then just
think Of a kid just out Of school re-
viewing their decisions in a court OF
last resort.
II is enough 10 make a man laugh.
And you. who can do il SO we'll are
the men 20 make the state laugh at the
presumption OF Mr.. Seth Thomas,
whose chief hid TO fame lies in the fact
tina. he bears the name OF a man who
onca was good clock tinker.
The case of Mr. Thomas is so well
covered and disposed OF IN the above
that IT would be interesting to read a
general exeg of the claims OF Ben
Salinger by the same commentator.

Iowa and Liquor Laws.
Practically every legislature in this
state has tried its hand in making laws
regulating the use and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors: there has been con-
slant change in the law and still it can
hardly be called satisfactory. More
cases involving liquor laws have gone
to the United States supreme court
from this state than any other state in
the union: the majority Of them. how
ever, were held unconstitutional. Leisy
vs.. Hardin was possibly the most fam
Gus case of them all. This dealt with
the statute prohibiting any liquor to

holder OF a state permit. OF course,
such statute was unconstitutional
because 1t was an interference with
interstate commerce. Not only have
many OF the laws on this subject been
held unconstitutional. but some Of them
have been changing with practically
every legislature. About one hundred
pages In our code and supplement In
addition to the almost countless de-
cisions have been devoted to our liquor
laws. Nevertheless we shall endeavor
to briefly state what those laws are at
the present time.

liquor to a friend; the giving must.
