 In provisions the outcome ranged from 25 cents decline to a shade ad- vance.
 Bears in wheat appeared to regard the setback shown by Liverpool quo tatiOns as decidedly significant.
 .Bullish crop estimates from Kansas caused one of the temporary rallies in wheat
 Notwithstanding that corn at times showed sympathy with the wheat weakness. prices during the greater part of the day were inclined to ad- vance
 Oats were dominated by the strength of corn.
 Packers selling more than counter "alanced in the provisions market the effect of a falling off in slaughter ings of hogs. Pork showed greater weakness than lard or ribs.

(UncemS0red Sense

(BY RE MLIK)

 Then up spal-e an ancient booze-head who for years had fought the stuff; T would leave poor Arizona,
 if l ies had change enough. No ones spendin' any money,

 money,
 since the booze is gone, all right See all the empty buildin's,
 and the loafers everywhere? Well, it's all imagination,
 for there isn't any there. When the nice saloons was open,
 they would by the fires sit. An, fill their hides with likker
 while they made a night of it; So next day they wouldn't shiver,
 while holdin' up the poles; Fer, red hlEer puts the bracins,
 into empty loafers souls. So, you see, we lost the loafers.
 an they've scattered everywhere; Pro an con, they're surely driftin',
 fer they had no change fer fare. Since saloons went out Q business,
 many of us have to work; An that's a mighty hardship.

 down near the city hall; Fer there's nothin' doin' fer 'em,
 upon the streets at all; There's the jail a standin' open; an isn't Wuth a cent: An they tell me they're a'goin to, advertise the place fer rent. They could let the hobo's sleep there an they wouldn't have to pay: But when they voted likker out, the hObo's went away.

TWO RAILROADS
 WERE INJECTED
Stanford Sustains the Corporation Commission i'll Imposing Fines Upon Arizona Eastern and the Southern Pacific

Judge Stanford of the superior court yesterday upheld the state, granting judgment for the plaintiff in the case of the Arizona corporation commission against the Arizona Eastern and Southern Pacific railroads. The case has been under advisemcnt for some time The commission brought suit to recover fines imposed upon the rail roads for contempt The case will be appealed.
 The suit was first brought by the Campbell United Carnival Shows. The Campbell people appealed to the cor poraticn commission bringing charges against the railroad on the grounds that it was not treated fairly. The car nival company claimed that the rail- road had discriminated in the rates charged in transporting its property and that of a circus. The commission ordered the defendant to transport the cars. property. employees and attend ants at the rate of g per train mile for the entire service and this order was not compiled with. The roads were held to be in contempt by the commission and the Southern Pacific fined $500 and the Arizona Eastern NHNU- ! llt 'tNtIll NAlN III biAt s'N+i''i AAA court was instituted to recover judg- ment.
 The question that was raised during the hearing was whether or not it was an interstate matter as contended by the railroad or an intrastate affair which was the view of the commission.
 The discriminating phase of the mat ter the road explained was in noting difference between a circus and a carnival company. The carnival com qanv protested that the Sells Fioto circus was carried at a much lower rate than that imposed upon it and this the railroad declared was because the circus was transported as a private carrier under special contract while the railroads publish a tariff, the rates of which are filed with state and inter state commissions to cover the trans portation of carnivals

FINANCES and MARKETS

NEW YORK, Dec. %. CWan Street. Increased anxiety over the foreign situation, together with a new low quotation for the Anglo French bonds. served as d check to speculation to- day. Trading suffered some curtaiI- ment also, as a result of the storm which interrupted communication with this center.
 Heaviness prevailed at the opening of the market. United States Steel and leading rails inclined to lower lev els St. Paul proving the most notable exception on it's rise of l94 to 971s. prior to the publication of November earnings disclosing d net increase of S2, 2,OOO.O .OOO

 ter pursued an irregular course. Gen erai Motors losing 19 to 474 and Beth lehem Steel 10 at 46o. while war de- scriptions were one to four points lower. Total sales amounted to 400.- 900 shares.
 The fall in Anglo-French 5's to the new low price of 937s occasioned much conjecture as to the principal sources of the selling. one lot of $795. 900 changed hands at 94 immediately be- fore touching the new minimum.
 Sales of this issue aggregated $2, 900 000
 Demand bills on London rose to S473% with steadiness in francs. but Austrian and Russian remittances again approached lowest rates quoted since the war.
 Bonds as whole reflected the heaviness of the Anglo French issues Total sales, par value, aggregated 24550 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

A youth at the silly age when his

A1,p FoR TINE IOWA SENATE.

II the senate Is seeking guloe As
as to the Johnston bill which has come
uu to it from the house the action OF
the newspaper men, most Of them edi-
tors and publishers Of weekly papers,
taken at the meeting at Ames last week
should be sufficient. If more is needed
1t may search the press of the state for
support Of the bill without finding any
daily or weekly Of prominence support
ing it. More even than the dailies the
So called Country weekl!es" express
the opinion Of the communities In
which they are published and which
they represent. And those newspaper
men who gathered at Ames represent
the best Of the country publishers"
and afford the best press expression to
be had Of Iowa's opinions ard purposes
on roads and road law. The highway
commission plan is generally approved
in Iowa, not only in the towns but in
the agricultural districts. Such criti-
cism of it as is at all general suggests
certain notifications, nos a change
back to the old system. When the Ames
press assembly condemned the John
ston bill by a unanimous vote Of over
100 newspaper publishers it spoke the
will of the vast majority Of the resi-
dents and voters Of the state. The sem
ate can not find a surer and safer ex-
preston of general opinion whereby
to guide its deliberations upon that re-
dictionary measure.
1t is well to bear in mind that it was
not an individual opinion. The men
of the Fourth Estate" from the small
er towns and farm communities are
thoroughly informed as to general
opinion in their bailiwicks and as gen.
orally in full sympathy with the needs
and desires of their communities. In
fact they are representatives of their
districts in a sense almost or quite as
important as are assemblymen. A sue
cessfull country newspaper man" mis-
representing his community and its
white blacllbird. And these newspaper
men who voted down The Johnston bill
with complete unanimity are the most
successful country" newspaper men in
the state. Not only that but as a
rule they are more influential, capable,
and popular in their home districts
as body than the representatives who
voted for the Johnston bill in the
lower branch of the assembly.
The senate should inccntinently
smother the Johnston bill. Without any
manner Of doubt many Of those who
voted for 1t in the house would not
have done so but for the feeling Of as
surance that it would never get by the
senate. The senate should not disap-
point them and the state.
AS safe expression Of the actual
sentiment and demand of the state the
senate can not do better than take the
Tip" offered by the County newspa-
pers' that unanimously repudiated and
condemned the Johnston bill.

The federal government delivers the
goods. No doubt there will be dope
bootleggers but they will be the lowest
class of offenders. The man with
something of reputation and wealth to
lose will keep to the drug law. The
cases are equal. The man with some
thing of good repute and financial re-
sponsibility doesn't bootleg booze. He
may rent his building to blind pig If
he can depend on local friendship and
local connections to assist the evasion
Of law but he never peddles the stuff
himself. He may sell it over drug
store counter slyly or take advantage
of any possible cat hole Of the law but
he never forgets the government
license" Only those with nothing to
lose take that chance. Why? Sim
ply because the federal agent will get
him If he doesn't watch out and in
time II he does watch out. Local con-
nections fail largely when the U. S. A.
comes round.
Local connections are the standby of
the violator of the liquor laws.
Under a state system of inspection
and prosecution the local connection
fails to work. 1t loses it's carburetter.
Why not law enforcement of state
law by state authority as well as fed
eral enforcement of federal law?
wouldn't one work as we'll as the
other?
Isn't the result what we are looking
for?
