Dealers report SATISFACTORY trade
The local potato market is showing
decided weakness. Receipts are heavy
with only a moderate demand. Several
car loads were unloaded during the week
and retailed at $2.75 per bag, which con-
tains two and one-half bushels.
Considerable weakness is characteriz-
ing the cabbage market, car lots selling
on a range of 81 75m2 90 per crate. This
is a drop of % cents per crate from
Thursdays quotation. Florida cabbage
has started to arrive here In heavy lots.
The stock is showing sound hard heads,
which usually at this time OF the year
sells at good prices, but the warm
weather has promoted a rapid maturing
of the plant and the supply is unsea-
sonably heavy.

eggs by Saturday. but his prediction

dozen, but slumped 21z cents 10 20 cents

ceipts with no increase in demand. Mr..
Bell as well as other produce men, an
ticipates a further decline in prices.
Some Of the more bold predict 20 cents
next week.
There is little life to the market for
lemons. Although offerings were rath-
er liberal. buyers did not take hold
and prices remained unchanged The
demand for lines continues heavy, sell
ing at 81 per 100.
Receipts are liberal both in fruits and
vegetables, according to Fidelity Fruit
and Produce Company. and all are meet
ing with a ready demand, keeping the
market in good shape and prices firm.
Apples, are moving well, mostly New
York Baldwins at present. The supply
is short; dealers holding for higher
prices at shipping points.
Oranges are in limited supply and
meet with ready absorption at good
prices However. dealers claim there
are plenty in Florida yet and are not

words are not coined that can tell the

hard is that there are thousands upon

them also.

from decisions of the supreme court
showing this would not apply at all. a
wild game case having been decided
years ago.
The police power of the nation was
cited as sufficient to carry the regula-
lions, as exercised in the. latter acts,
the antitrust acts, the safety appliance
acts, the pure food laws, the white
slave acts, etc.; but the court pointed
out that these were all upheld under
somes special clause of the constitu
ton.
1T may be-" said the judge, ;'as
contended on behalf OF the govern
ment, that only by national legisla-
ton can migratory wild game and fish
be preserved to the people, but that
is not a matter for the courts. 1t is
the people who alone can amend the
constitution to grant congress the
power to enact such legislation as they
deem necessary. All the courts are
authorized to determine is whether
congress, under the constitution as it
is. possesses the power to enact the
legislation in controversy; their pow
er does not extend to the matter OF
eXpediency. If congress has not the
power, the duty of the court is to de.
clare the act void The court is un-
able to find any provision in the con-
stitution authorizing congress, either
expressly or by necessary implication,
to protect or regulate the shooting of
migratory wild game when in state.
and is therefore forced to the con-
c.usion that the act is unconsttution

congress the right to make regula-
tions for captures on land and sea"
AT least he wasn't able to say that, as
a matter of law, persons in the en-
ployment of the state of Iowa should
support doubtful regulation on birds.
This week the lawyers have receiv-
ed in the Federal Reporter the text
of a very interesting decision on the
migratory bird law by the federal
court
One II. C. Shaver was indicted for
violation of the migratory bird law
and demurred to the indictment be-
fore Judge Trieber, of the eastern dis.
trict Of Arkansas, and the judge sus-
tanned the demurrer, holding the en-
tire law unconstitutional. On rehear-
ing and presenting additional argu-
ments he adhered to his opinion and
advised going to the higher courts.
Tho first claim of the government
attorneys, in support of the law and
regulations, was that migratory birds
are the property of the nation. But
the courts have all held that wild ami
mails are owned by the states, not as
proprictors but in their sovereign ca
pacity as the representatives for the
benefit of the people in common.
Then there was the claim that the
law was in accord with one of those
implied attributes OF sovereignty in
concurrent jurisdiction with the the
which the national government has
states; but this is rejected at once.
The question of application of the
interstate commerce clause came up
on the demurrer and the judge quoted

Newspapers Mould Public Opinion,

(By the Chairman of the Iowa State
wide Publicity Commission.)
Our people as mass think very
much as the editors of our newspa-
pers think. The family newspaper is
great instrument for the shaping Of
public sentiment, public opinion and
public morals.
Just now various organizations
throughout. the state are making an
effort to bring to the attention of the
people of Iowa some of the features
of the state that make it the premier
commonwealth of the union. Without
the cooperation OF the newspapers
such campaign could not be conduct
ed. While there are few editors
whose comatose conditions make it
impossible for them to see an oppOr-
tunity, there is in every county of the
state at least one aggressive, wide
awake newspaper man who is giving
freely OF his space for the promotion
of the public good.
These papers are paid nothing for
their type setting. their press work.
their space, or for any other item of
cost that enters into the publication
of these educational articles. 1t is
not too much to say that the newspa-
per man who is willing to curtail his
advertising space in order that he may
gratuitously assist in the promotion
of worthy object of general interest
is entitled TO the substantial support
of his constituency.
Almost any man and woman who
has lived in Iowa for any length of
time is willing TO say that this is a
great state, but somehow only few
people are able to give definite infor-
nation when they are asked why Iowa
is great state. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that this is one of the great
est, if not the greatest, agricultural
regions on the face of the globe, yet
a general statement to that effect does
not mean much The average lowan
ought to know the value of our grain
crop each year, the value and extent
of our manufactured products, the
standing of the state in educational
matters, the amount of exporting done
| by her factories, the various products
of our soil-when a knowledge OF these
things and hundreds OF similar things
| is carried to the men and women of
the state we shall have a greater de-
velopment OF community pride-of
state loyalty.
1t means something to the bank. the
| farmer, the merchant, and to every
body else who buys or sells either
labor or commodities to have people
come to Iowa, remain in Iowa, and in
vest their money in Iowa, and those
newspapers Of the state that are Civ
ing unseltishly to the promotion of
publicity work deserve everything
that their respective communities can
do for them.
