The Law Governing
Newspaper Subscriptions,

Most readers of newspapers
and many publishers are not
familiar with the laws governing
subscriptions. Here are decis-
ions of the United States court
on the subject:
Subscribers who do not give
express notice notice to the con-
trary are considered as wishing
to renew their subscriptions.
If the subscribers order
discontinuance of their publica-
ton the publisher may continue
to send until all dues are paid.
IF the subscriber refuses to
take periodicals from the post
office TO which they are directed
he is responsible until he has
settled his bill and ordered his
paper discontinued.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the
publisher and the papers are
sent to the former address, the
subscriber is held responsible.
The courts have held that re.
fusing to take periodicals from
post offices or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is
prima facie evidence of intention
| to defraud.
II subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice Il,
the end of the time if they dc
! not wish to continue taking it,

The main show, however, is
yet to be staged and it looks as
tho the G. O. P. would still have
to depend upon Teddy to do the
''barking.' His apparent will
ingness to do SO is the thing that
sticks in the craws Of the fellows
who really believed in Mr.. Roose-
welt and his principles. Now
that he their idol, has been
knocked from it's pedestal and
shattered by this Wilson ava
lanch that has shaken the found
atlons of Wall Street, they are
thunder struck and amazed
They are recalling to mind
many of the Uombastic and eX-
traVaEant Statements made by
Mr.. Roosevelt H. 1912 when he
lambasted the Republican party
in terms that made Dante's In
ferno look like refrigerator in
comparison, and they still re-
member how Mr.. Roosevelt
recognized Mr.. Hughes as an
ice burg just previous to the
falling of the curtain on the
Chicago conventions, and well
they may be thunderstruck and
dazed. They have heard much
about Americanism and prnci-
ples-ln fact they have been
baptised in a liquid fire of "A
mericanism and patriotic princi-
pies" and they are aghast at
this marvellous demonstration OF
back peddaling and side-step-
ping now going on.
Mr.. Roosevelt is exemplifying
politically what he has so vehem-
emily criticised in President Viii
son and that is d lack of courage.
He would have Mr.. Wilson go to
war with the European powers,
if need be, rather than TO sac
rife one iota of what he consl-
ders American honor notwlth-
standing the country's unpre-
pardedness, and yet because ne
has found himself 'uuprepar-
ed" politically to fight Tor the
great principles he has been
prating about he has laid dow n
like a whipped cur and is trying
to convince his great army of
followers that there Is more hon
or in submitting to the powers
that be" politically than to stand
by their guns and fight like the
brave men they have claimed to
be.
Many of his admirers of the
more sober and sedate type now
feel that they would prefer de.
feat by substituting a standard
bearer for Mr.. Roosevelt rather
than submit to the steam roller
process that is now going on
within the Bull Moose ranks and |
which seem to be tlattening out
their hero and a number of his
lieutenants. Again. many of |
them feel that they can now
turn to President Wilson with a
clearer conscience than they can
return to the ranks of the G.. O. |
p. and again fight for the mo-
nopoly and predatory wealth a
gainst the interests of the COM /
mon people.

J. B. Mailing left for Chicago
Wednesday. he expects soon to
enter the anti-suffrage campaign
in South Dakota. The Militants
and the Denver Post can be eX-
pected soon to turn their guns
on him again in an effort to
malign his character. 1t was
that brand Of campaign that put
the voters of Iowa wise as to
what depths some women as
well as men will go in the scram-
BILE for political advantage and
Mr.. Mailing mad but to use the
scandalous articles in the
Denver Post and the feminist
expressions Of such agitators as
Carrie Chapman Gait when in
New York she condemned the
sacred institution of marriage,
to prove his assertions with ref
erence to the political status of
Colorado and that on account Of
the activities of such agitators
as Mrs. Gait the majority of
Colorado's good women are
either disguised with politics or
are merely passive on equal suf-
frage question. Mr.. Mailing
does not presume to cast any re-
Election upon the intelligence or
the good graces Of the rank and
file of womanhood in Colorado,
but he contends that as long as
they remain nOn-partlsan fac
tor in the home they WELD an in
fluence OF far greater strength
for the moral uplift of humanity
than when they become biased
by the influences of party attili-
ations. As Democrats or Re-
publicans, he claims, they are
Shorn Of that wholesome power
which they hitherto have exert
ed in their home by dissemina-
ting non-partisan and unbiased
opinions among those who do
cast the ballot. Hence it is
unfair to accuse him of depreci-
ating or Understanding the i'm
portant part that women have in
ruling the world.
Many of the suffrage papers
Of Iowa commended Mr.. Maliug
for the high moral poise Of his
speeches and their freedom from
inuendo or personal abuse.
We make the foregoing COM
ment that the people may know
Mr.. Maling's attitude on this
great question inaSmuch as he is
Il citizen of our town and has
been made to appear as a rene
gade and all that is vile by the
leaders of the fight on the other
side thru that paper that has re-
viled and besmirched the name
of every public man who had the
temerety to oppose it. We feel
sure that the good women of our
state regardless of their views
on suffrage, do not approve the
methods used by these militants.

Speaking of a crisis which
our Republicans friends are
harping about, how about that
crisis of 1907-S when the banker
gave you the stony stare when
you presented your check and
was told that he would take the
matter under advisement and
possibly you could have your
money in 80 days? Have you
forgotten those days, Mr.. Voter?
Don't forget that the Wilson Ad-
ministration has given us a fed
eral reserve Act that will protect
us against this thing of Wall
Street closing the vault doors
and causing another panic such
as the Roosevelt administration

The Golden Globe is now con-
demning the Democratic party
for the high cost Of living. The
Globe forgets, evidently, that
the Republican party has always
boosted of high prices. They
say that high prices are a sure
sign of prosperity. High cost of
living means good prices to the
farmer as well as to the manu-
facturer. 1t means good wages
to the laborer. Yes, indeed, the
Republicans have always boosted
of high prices,

that it frequently occurs that
when he is called to a remote
part of the county to investigate
and run down some violator of
the law that his bill for mileage
for the trip will be ignored by
our county commissioners on the
claim that they have no money
for such purposes. We under
stand also that the District At
torney is greatly handicapped
from the same source. In other
words either our county commits
sioners are remiss in their duty
to the public or else our state
laws are extremely weak where
protection of society against
crime is concerned. 1t must be
very discouraging to an official
to do what his best judgment
dictates and answer the call of
the public, spending his OWL
money, and then to have the
powers that be" refuse to al
low the bill. In Sheriff Dennis
case it has been intimated that
1t is a personal matter, largely
between some of the commits
sioners and the sheriff. If this
is true, then an investigation
should be made and the trouble
located and dealt with by some
one in authority.
1t will take a lot of explaining
by the leaders of the Progress
sives and the odd guard" to
convince the casual voter that
they have anything in common
except the sole purpose of de-
feating Woodrow Wilson. If, as
is claimed, their two platforms
are almost identical. how are
they going to reconcile this fact
in any other way than that the
writers of those platforms got
the inspiratiform from the same
source and that that source is
the same that has controlled the
Republican party for the past
fifty years Wall Street.
Upon their own line of reason
ing it is logical to conclude that
both Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Roose-
welt and their supporters knew
weeks before the Chicago CON
vention what the planks of the
two platforms would contain.
This being evidenced then the
only thing left was to put out 2 !
feeler' by calling the two CON
ventons and select the man
whom the "wiseheads" believed
to be the best for their purpose.
Mr.. Hughes, therefore was
the most acceptable because by
virtue of his high office he was
prevented from expressing an
opinion and in consequence had
made no enemies.
In other words Mr.. Hughes
was selected to hold the mouth
of the sack while Teddy went
ont and drove in the snipo

the taking over of "Hardscrabble" in a
resolution offered this morning in City
Council by Park Commissioner Il. u.
Gross.
Council thought the time was a
trlfle too short. ana upon the sugges-
ton of Commissioner Harry f. Bow

a week.
Mr.. Gross offered his resolution at
the request of City Solicitor d. S. Seitz
In accordance with the latter's letter
on the subject.

No probable time was stated by
MIR. Bowman in moving for postpone
ment OF action, although he said after
the meeting that he believed June so
or July ! would be more satisfactory.
by extending the time to this date, he
said, not only would more opportunity
be allowed for the citizens in that sec
tion to find other quarters. but the city
would probable be in better position to
bear the financial burden of interest
payment on the bonds. Fellow-coun-
cilmen were also of the opinion that
more time should be allowed and Mr..
Gross offered no objection to Mr.. Bow
mans motion. Wen all have to get
together on this matter before we de-
eide on the time definitely" said
Mayor Meals. This attitude was
echoed by Commissioner Lynch.
The amount of bonds that would
have to be filed will be double the
amount of the damages to be awarded.
Approximately this will be $4,000 or
$215,000.
Mr.. Seitz's Views
In calling Councils attention to the
fact that twenty-one of the property
owners in the "Hardscrabble" district
had filed exceptions and appeals to the
viewers report Mr.. Seitz says:
1t will probably take year at least
10 reach final determination by the
appellate courts of the questions raised
on test cases that may be selected. In
the meantime the improvement may
be proceeded with by furnishing the
parties in interest with sufficient Sc
curity for the properties taken, injured

performance at the Metropolitan opera

The first sensation was caused by
her dress, which was some creation

Be that as it may, just as the lady
