Wade is a deserving democrat and
worthy of political reward. He has
simply cashed his warrant held
against the party bank.-Council
Bluffs Nonpareil.
But being a deserving democrat
worthy of political reward does not
entitle him to judgeship. The
first consideration is, is he qualified
for the position? 1t will be recall
ed that the Baltimore platform de-
clares qualification and not party
service is the test. But Secretary
Bryan's Santo Domingo spoils letter
demonstrates that the question OF
fitness is about the last thing this
administration inquiries into when it
wants to reward some working poll
tician.
Many people OF sound reasoning
think there should be some changes
in the methods employed to deter
mine the insanity of suspected per-
sons. Under present methods any
body can file information before the
commissioners of insanity and the
accused is hauled before them for
examination. The hearing is public
and in some instances the proceed
ings are enough to drive the accused
insane if he or she is not already Of
unbalanced mind. This especially
may be true in the case of person
Of unusually delicate nerve construc-
ton and of a sensitive nature. Take
for instance an intelligent woman
who has been harrassed by troubles
and whose delicate nerve organiza-
ton is overtaxed. She may be suffer-
ing from nervousness and may be at
the point of a nervous breakdown.
What effect is it liable to have up
on such a person to be hauled before
the board of commissioners of in
sanity and have all the tongues Of
gossip in the town turned loose up
on her? If the woman subjected to
such treatment when in such a con-
dition is not driven insane it is be-
cause she does not fully understand
and appreciate what her neighbors
are thinking and saying Of her. The
whole proceeding is wrong. In fact
it is an outrage and is a disgrace up
on the state of Iowa. The entire
hearing in such cases
could and should be carried on in
secrecy and if in the judgment of
the commissioners there is no evil
dence to support the charges the
victim" and the public need know
nothing about the proceedings Wit
nesses could be examined quietly and
If there was sufficient evidence tO|
warrant further action the accused
party should be notified and given
opportunity to make defense.

BRIDGE ECHO
Claims Aggregating $254.4O,
Wanted -Mandamus
Suit Filed

An echo of the bridge trouble
that occurred in 1914, when c. H.
Johnson, who had the contract
to span White Oak creek in dis
trict 22, fled, leaving several par
ties to hold the bag, is reverbe-
rating again.
The bridge in question, it
seems, was built by public SUBJ
scription, but later was taken
up by the county, The plaintiffs,
who have filed a mandamus suit
in circuit court against VIM. M.
Weaver, county judge, claim
that they furnished material and
labor for the erection of a bridge
across the White Oak creek, the
contract for the construction of
said bridge having been awarded
C. H. Johnson, who absconded,
leaving the plaintiffs unpaid.
In April, 1915, the claims were
presented to VIM. M. Weaver
for payment, but were disallow-
ed.
Petition states that for the re-
lief of the plaintiff the Genera
Assembly of the state of Arkan-
sas, in the session of 1915, pass
ed a special act, No. 3l3, which
was approved March 80, 1915,
empowering and authorizing the
county Judge Of Franklin county
to issue script to plaintiff in the
following sums:
Sam Littleton, $74. 40; Levy
Martin, $37. so; Bob Hilliard,
$23. 90; Bud Benson, $22 90; w.
b. Johnson, $l5.75; Maynard
Bros. $Sl.75.
In accordance with special act
No. 3l3, the above plaintiffs
state that in July. 1915, they
presented their claims to County
Judge Weaver, and again the
claims were disallowed, hence
the suit for peremptory writ of
mandamus be issued to defend
ant that he issue script as prayed
for

PEANUTS
Thrive in Franklin County Soil
Small Amount of Labor
Required.

Jno. Werschky, who conducts
a general merchandise store at
Webb City, has a hobby for
farming and his sixty-five acres
of fertile soil are revenue pro-
ducers under his skillful man
agement.
Mr.. Werschky does not be-
believe very much in cotton as a
mortgage litter for a farm,
altho he recognizes that a cer-
tain amount of the fieecy staple
must be produced each year,
This season forty-five acres of
the Werschky farm are devoted
to peanuts and it is estimated
now that the yield will he 1000
bushels unless heavy rains set
in at harvesting time, which
will commence about the latter
part of next month.
Besides the yield of goobers the
land will produce about forty
five tons of hay, which is valued
at $15 per ton.
And this is not all. After the
peanuts and hay are harvested
hogs can be turned on to the
land and they will be able to find
enough peanuts to give them a
good start in the way of fatten-
ing for market.
Peanuts have been grown in
this county on small scale,
with favorable results, and the
out come of Mr.. Werschky's ex-
pertinent will be watched with
interest.

Migratory Bird Law

With the approach of the open
season for shooting wild fowl
the department is warning
sportsmen that the Federal regu-
lations as amended October l,
1914, will be strictly enforced.
Some misunderstanding has
arisen from the fact that the
various state laws do not always
conform to the Federal regula-
tions. This is regarded as un-
fortunate, but in such cases the
department must insist upon the
observance of the Federal regu-
lations.
The department will consider
any recommendations submitted
in good faith for amend
ment of the regulations. but
will hold no public hearings
thereon, nor will it amend the
regulations prior to October l5,
1915. 1t is the purpose to con-
form the regulations to the
wishes of the majority of sports
men so far as it can be done and
at the same time give wild FOWL
the necessary protection.
Federal regulations divide the
United States into tive zones.
Zone No. l, the breeding zone,
includes the states of Oregon,
Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa,

vania, and New Jersey, and all
