But the state law goes on tho theory
that workmen's compensation and ON
ployers' liability are two separate
things. in distinct fields, and the fact
that there is q federal law on the one
has no effect as to state law on the
other. Inasmuch as the state law coy

negligence Is alleged 1t Is not In conh1ce
with any federal law relating only 10

the courts for final determination.
The matter Is vital to the integrity OF
the Iowa law.

valuable by the date trees that cover
every spot where enough water can

land value comes because man has
there utilized the productive power

of production. It is remarkable that
we in the United States have used
trees so little to do our work for us.

THE DowELL SCHOOL.

Last Friday was our regular month
ly election. The election had an add
ed interest ON this occasion for the
school ballot which included the pro-
posed "dry" amendment to the con-
stitution. If the whole state goes
dry with the same majority that the
school" did the victory will surely
be an easy one. There were thirty
voters and when the votes were count
ed there were twenty-nine "dry" and
one "wet". Evidently the solution of
the saloon question is more of a
teachers job than a preachers. Evil
iently the inclination to vote "wet"
must be educated out of the people.

Advocates of Statewide Prohibi-

gratulate themselves upon the success
OF their campaign this Fall. It is a
great achievement to cut a majority
OF $4,000 in two and it is certain evi.
dence that the sentiment against the
use OF alcoholic beverages is growing.
II Is only a question Of time when not
only in Ohio but in all the United
states the Manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquors for use as bever-
ares will be a thing of the past. We
simply cannot afford It, we need our

have their money invested in any
branch Of the liquor business will dc
well to heed the warning and set Their
