ENFORCING PROHIBITION.


Judge Dudley Is to be commended
for his vigorous policy against the
bootlegger. Legislatures may abolish
the saloon ard police may hunt down
the unlawful vender of liquor. but the
success or failure Of prohibition event
ually rests upon tha shoulders OF the
courts. Bootiegging is profitable bus
mess. It can afford the occasional
payment Of a minimum fine. But 1t
cringes when the full extent OF the
law IS invoked.
The parting sh.o: &C the enti-temper-
ance forces is always the bootlegger He
is held up as club to protect the sa-
loon ami to brighten away the timid
voter. The influence Of Judge Dudley's
stand will be felt over the entire state.
When prohibition goes into effect the
first of the year a number of cities will
be face 70 face with the same problem
Des Moines has had to contend with.
The determined fight waged against
the bootlegger by the police and the
courts here has set good example for
others.

Texas Rangers.

Nine men in the heart of night,
A little resolute band!
Nine men in the stark moonlight
Crossing the Rio Grande
Nine men, brand of the brave
Courage that will not down.
Nine men at an open grave
BY old Hidalgo town!
Under the midnight what do they see!
A corse that IL MANNED and married;
Features a-writhe with agony;
Hands that are scared and SCARED!
Do they remember the Alamo
And the herd OF Mexique spawn,
And long once more for the vengeance
blow,
These lads Of Texan Drawn?
Crockett. Bowie and Travis they
Call again from the sod,
And all the slain that at Goliad lay
Under the eye Of God!
All, but you could not marvel, you
Biding at peace afar,
If you knew how the caitiffs sacked
and slew
Meath the CLEAN Of the Fair Lone
Star!
Nine men!-they would not crave,
But give them their due renown!
Nine men by an open grave
At old Hidaigo town:
Nine men on their sinuous track,
A little resolute band.
Bearing lifeless body back,
Over the Rio Grande!

LOAN SHARK JOKER.

The joker in the new loan shark law
will come to the surface speedily
enough If anyone will take a case be-
fore a grand jury when he is charged
100 or $50 per cent for the use ol
money. And that joker appears as
follows:
The legislature long ago provided
that any interest charge above per
cent a year shall be null, and snail
work a forfeiture to the school fund
Without repeating that provision.
it also provided that any charge above
per cent month shall be punishable
by fine or Imprisonment.
Then followed an affirmative piece
of constructive legislation declaring
that up to 10 per cent of the face OF
the loan may be included within the
loan" to cover the cost OF inspection
and investigation. and that 81 may be
charged for the drawing Of papers.
The effect of this law can best be
set forth by personal Illustration
You must nave loan. bu. have no
bankable security, SO you go to a
loan shark and ask for SIS for one
months time. Most of the loan shark
business is of this exact nature. He
is glad to accommodate you. And he
says:
Under the law, include within
the loan 10 per cent OF its face value,
for inspection. Ten per cent of SIS
is $3.50 also charge you 81 for
filing out these blanks. So you will
sign note for S12s.50, but you get
$25."
Then the loan shark continues:
I'm only going to charge you per
cent a month on this loan. Two per
cent Of $3.50 is 81 cents. l pay you
s25, and at the end OF thirty days you
pay me $29.07.''
You are paying s4.o7 for the use Of
s25 for one month. The charge Of
s4.07 for one month is equivalent to
1884 a year, and that charge upon q
s25 loan is at the rate Of precisely 1876
per cent year.
The loan shark who charges IT.
excess OF 1875 per cent year, 32c.
thirty day loans, may be fined or i'm
prisoned. II he charges less than 1875
per cent, he can't be touched by the
criminal statutes, but the debtor IL he
is wise and versed in the Law, and rich
enough to pay lawyer, can avoid ruin
by securing q forfeiture of interest to
the school fund. AS those who are in
the grip OF the loan sharks are usually
poor working people. without knowledee
of legal remedies. and with no money
for lawyers. and as the forfeiture pen
atty is joke and always has beer a
dead letter on the statute books, it was
seen by those who had studied the ,oan
shark evil that the way to protect the
poor victim was to penaiize extsrtioH-
ate charges by criminal law. This was
attempted in the last session Of the
legislature. but Senator Farr of Sioux
City slipped rascally amendment on

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

| 1T is pure sophistry to argue that a
man who stands with the liquor crowd
and who has been the beneficiary of
their support will. if elected to posi-
ton where he has authority, press for
law enforcement with the same
earrestness as one who sincerely and
whole heartedly believes in the prin-
ciple upon which the law is based. "

Figs don't grow on thistles and silk

DID NOT GET
IN THE PAPER

In the April American Magazine
David Grayson, writing his story
"Hempield," goes on with his wonder
full account of the "Hempfield STAR
and it's editors. Hempfield is a small
town and the Star is a country week
ly. One of the editors is Norton Carr,
a youth from the city, who conceived
the idea Of printing the naked truth
about things in the paper. Following
is a paragraph he wrote about the viii
lage church service. It was the truth
but it did not get into the paper.
"The usual forenoon service was held
in the Congregational church on Sun
day. Being a hot day, the Rev. Mr..
Sargent wore his black alpaca coat,
and preached earnestly for thirty min
utes, his text being John, 3. Miss
Daisy Miller played a selection from
Mozart, though the piano was unfor-
tunately out Of tune. There were in
attendance fifteen women, mostly old,
seven men and four children, besides
the choir. During the sermon old Mr..
Johnson went to sleep and Mrs. John
son ate four peppermints. Deacon
Mitchell took up a collection of fifty
! six cents, besides what was in the en-
velopes".

NORTH DAKOTA
AT THE FAIR

The North Dakota building at the
Panama Pacific International Expo
sition, was the second state building
to be completed on the grounds, and
was the first state building on the
grounds to to have it's exhibits in
place ready for the opening day. This
fact has brought a great deal of pub
licity to North Dakota. The further
fact that North Dakota is the only
corn state in the union that has a corn
display in its building at the exposi-
ton is working wonders in the mat
ter of interesting people in the state.
Another interesting feature of the
Exposition at San francisco is the
large number from North Dakota who
arc visiting the exposition that had in
tended locating somewhere on the
coast, but who are going back to good
old North Dakota with the determine
ton of spending their remaining days
upon the rolling prairies instead of
paying large prices for inferior land.
One mar in particular that could be
cited, cam to the coast with the idea
of buying land and making his future
home out here. After he had inves-
tigated conditions at every angle, he
went back to North. Dakota, to invest
his money where the land would bring
a sure and safe return for the invest
ment.
UPWARDS of thirty North Dakotans
are registering at the North Dakota
building daily. and after seeding it is
expected that the number will increase
wonderfully.
At the d%edicatory exercises Of the
North Dakota building on Tuesday OF
this week, Hon. Burke Corbett, for
merly of Grand Forks, made the prin-
cipal address.
North Dakota day is June 2lst, in
stead of May 21st. A mistake was
made in making the earlier announce
ment of this event. The Governor will
be at the North Dakota building on
jane 21st, and will take an active part
in the festivities of the day.
