Bros. have been in business in De-
|corah for the past five years and
have made a decided success of the
automobile business. For the past
three years they have been selling
Overland cars, and have sold over
200 automobiles. Their business
methods have been above reproach,
always being found on the square,
and everybody who has ever dealt
with them have given them boost.
AS result they have grown by hon
est, hard work, and consequently
they need new quarters to better
serve their increasing patronage.
For the past year or more they
have been dealing in pianos, which
business also has been a decided sue
csss with them, and they have many
satisfied customers all over Winne-
shiek county.
When their new quarters are fin.
ished they will be in better posi-
ton than ever to serve their cuS-'
toners. Contractor Coffeen win
lstart work on the new building as
soon as material, which has been or
dered arrives.

Gravel VS.. Dirt Roads.

A trip over to the lakes convin-
ces one that there is much left to be
desired in graveled roads-at least
in the shape they are usually left
When the loads are hauled in, they
are dumped and it is up to the autos
and carriages to smooth them out
which, we would judge, takes from
hrty to hundred years. Not one
graveled road out of hundred is
leveled off properly, and the auto
traffic doesn't help matters any,
either. A good dirt road, unless the
weather is rainy, has the graveled
roads backed off the bill boards in

Some of the road boosters seem to
proceed on the theory that the farm
ers themselves, who will have to do
most of the paying, do not know
enough to prefer good road to
lad road. The meddlesome editors,
they know what the farmers do not
know. We ourselves think 1t is BIZ
of impertinence on the part of most
of the editors who have been trying
to instruct the farmers. If we are
ever to have better roads, for which
We are all praying, it will come about
by cooperating intelligently with
the farmers and that for the best pos
sible roads that the tax payers can
afford to pay for. Much OF our good
roads talk is based wrong, says the
Cedar Rapids Republican.

"KEEPING US OUT OF WAR;"

Secretary of War Newton ID. Bak-
er is authority for the statement
that keeping the United States out
OF war" is the principal claim upon
which President Wilson bases his
fight for reelection. "The fact that
we are at peace" he says, "is the
greatest argument of all for Presi-
dent WILSON,
1t is true that we are at peace,
although our entire army is massed
upon the Mexican border. But the
extent to which Mr.. Wilson is to be
credited with our peacefulness is
proper subject of inquiry. Are we at
l-9 ,ecauai of him nd his !, .fs,
or in spite of him and his acts? Let
us consider. In the first place, no ma
tion has sought quarrel with the
United States. No deed has been
done, no word has been said, of di-
rect enmity toward the United
States. With nations, as with indi-
viduals, it takes two to make a
quarrel. There are but two countries
with which our relations have been
strained during the administration
of Mr.. Wilson. The acts of Germany
which incurred our displeasure were
committed in the course of war
with another nation and were not di-
rectedt against us. Germany has
at no time shown a desire to come
in conflict with this country. The
only possibility of war with Ger
many was in consequence of demands
coming from US. 1t was we, not
Germany, who were threatening
war. But, as a matter of cold fact,
President Wilson could not have got
us into actual war with Germany il
he had deliberately tried to do so.
For obvious reasons Germany could
not have fought us, and, for reasons
equally obvious, we could not have
fought Germany, unless we had
joined with the allies, an inconceiv-
able possibility. We might have had
theoretical state of war, but not
gun would have been fired, not a
drum would have been sounded. Mr..
Wilson did not keep us out of war
with Germany. Circumstances utter
ly beyond his control or direction at
tended to that.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out of
war with Mexico. The only danger Of
war with that country has grown out
of the acts of Mr.. Wilson himself. At
the beginning OF his administration
nothing was farther from the
thought of Mexico than war with the
United States. Its people, its intelli-
gent people, realized that the friend
ship of this country was necessary
to their peace and prosperity. A
firm demand for the protection of
our rights and interests would have
been respected and obeyed without
recourse to arms, If we had not made
that protection impossible by our un-
warranted interference in the inter
nal affairs of Mexico. Our blunder-
ing, untactful, unjustifiable course
during the past three years has made
enemies out of those who desired to
be our friends, and because OF that
enmity our troops are arrayed upoa
the border. The question of war and
peace with Mexico is yet to be settled
but If 1T should be peace, as We ear
nestly hope, Mr.. Wilson will deserve
no encomiums for avoiding the con-
sequences of his own errors.-St.

session laws, 1911, cannot be assailed
on the ground that 1t in any manner
interferes with the right of the en-
ployer to agree in advance with the
employee upon the terms and conditions
of the contract of employment, or the
date of payment, or the equivalent that
ne will receive in lieu of lawful money
of the United States; that it affords the
employe the right to maintain an ac-
ton for wages or salary until the same
becomes due and owing under the
terms of the contract. express or i'm
piled; or that it singles out any par
ticular class of debtors and Furnishes il
for failure to perform certain duties
duties which are equally obligatory up
on all debtors-as it applies to all en-
ployers OF labor whether corporations
partnerships, associations or individu-
ais.
I'm the case of Ingard V. Barker, q
Ida, 124, this court held that in pass
ing upon the constitutionality of stat
utes generally, no matter from what
standpoint the assault thereon may be
made, nothing but a clear violation of
the constitution will justify the courts
in overruling the legislative will, and
where there is reasonable doubt as TO
the constitutionality of the act, it must
be resolved in favor of the act
Exercise of Police Power.
And as we are of the opinion that
1t is the province of the legislature,
within reasonable bounds, to determine
whether certain legislation is neces-
sary or expedient for the safety, health
morality, comfort and welfare of the
people of the state, we feel justified in
holding that chapter 40, session laws
1911, p. sos, is a legitimate exercise
of the police power of the state that
it is not a violation of the liberty of
contract in respect to labor; that il
does not deprive the employer or the
employee Of the liberty or right to enter
into any contract, nor take property
from the employer without due process
of law; and, therefore, that it is not
unconstitutional as being in violation
of sec. 10, art. l. of the constitution of
the United States. secs. % and 16, art
l, of the constitution of this state, or
of sec. ! of the 14th amendment to the
constitution of the United States.
I'm going into the record of this case
it appears that the Judgment in favor
of Morris Pearson for the sum OF
$623.20 is excessive and not supported
by the evidence. The trial court, in
entering the respective amounts due
respondents, inadvertently entered
judgment in the sum, when, as a mat
ter of fact, judgment should have been
entered IN favor of respondent Pear
son for S247.70, together with costs
$2.2S and attorney fee. $50. And the
trial court is hereby directed to modify
said judgment in accordance with the
proof submitted upon the trial of the
cause.
"All the other assignments OF error
have been considered by this court and
found to be without merit There
fore, the judgment of the trial court
except as above modified, is affirmed
with costs in favor Of respondents"

The supreme court held the laborers
lien act constitutional in a decision
handed down last night in the three
labor lien suits instituted in the First
judicial district court for Shoshone
county by Harry Olson ct al, Clark c.
Norris. Peter Probach and j. II. Smith
versus the Idora Hill Mining company
The judgment given for the plaintiffs
in the lower court stands affirmed by
the supreme courts opinion with the
exception of the $623.20 Judgment in
favor of Morris Pearson which is mod
fled to S24I70. The supreme court
finds that the object OF the labor lien
act passed by the legislature in 1911
is to require employers of labor to pay
their employees promptly and in lawful
money when the employment ceases,
upon the ground that the employe
should not be compelled to wait beyond
reasonable time to obtain the COM
pensation to which his contract of
service entities him.
The Idora Hill Mining company is a
Washington corporation but owns and
operates a group of mining claims in
the Beaver mining district in Shoshone
county known as the Idora mine. The
plaintiffs were employed by the COM
pany from time to time but were not
paid the wages due them, although re-
peated demands were made for them.
After waiting in Wallace some time
for settlement, they brought action
collectively and separately against the
mining company. They secured iudg-
ments in the lower court and the COM
pany appealed, attacking the labor lien
act as unconstitutional The supreme
court denies both the motion to dis
miss the appeal and strike from the
record in the case certain evidence.
What Court Says.
In support of its contention in re-
gard to the alleged constitutionality of
the labor lien act, the mining company
cited many authorities. Passing on
these authorities and the issues involv-
ed, the supreme court says in it's de-
cision written by Justice Bulge and
concurred in by his associates;
In cases where such statutes have
been attacked and upheld the courts
have as rule taken the position that
the statutes arc subject to a reason
able construction, and that the inten-
ton is not to be gathered from a stat
ute of this nature that the employer
shall be penalized for the failure to pay
what is not a just debt, nor for the
failure to pay when the discharged
iaborer, after demanding payment. pre-
vents compliance with the demand by
his own conduct, nor to deny nor pre-
clude the right of the employer to in
terpose any valid counterclaim or de-
tense to the claim of such laborer Nor,
under such Interpretation. can an ac-
lion be maintained for a penalty alone
after settlement for loss or damage
before suit. Tho statute being penal in
Its nature. should receive such con-
struction az would not defeat the OBJ
vious intent OF the legislature.
