MILLIONAIRE SHOWS FIGHT.
George Mlndeman Tells Chief of Police
That He Will Tight Extradition
from New Mexico.

George Mindeman, alleged million
aire, who is wanted in Kenosha ON
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses and who is now in jail way
down in New Mexico, is not coming
back to Kenosha until he has to. Sheriff
Ward of the New Mexico county, wired
Chief of Police O'Hare on Monday
evening that Mindeman had decided to
stand on his rights and that he would
demand extradition papers and hear
ing in court before he budged step
from the cactus country. This morn
ing Chief Hare and District Attor-
ney Drury made a formal demand on
the governor for requisition papers and
it is probable that these will be ready
by the end of the week. In the mean
time the New Mexico sh1iff has given
the assurance that Mindeman will be
held on a charge of being a fugitive
from justice. 1t is just possible that
he will seek release by habeas corpus
writ.

Urges the Passage Of the
Corrupt Practices Act Reg
ulating the Expenditure Of
Money In Elections and Fa-
: vors More Freedom Of Com
bination to Those Engaged
In Foreign Commerce.

noting the foreign commerce of the
country than is now thought by some
to be legal under the terms of the
laws against monopoly, the bill amend
ing the present organic law Of Porte
Rico and the. bill proposing more
thorough and systematic regulation Of
the expenditure OF money in elections,
commonly called the corrupt practices
act. I need not labor my advice that
these measures be enacted into law.
Their urgency lies In the manifest cir
cumstances which render their adop-
ton at this time not only opportune
but necessary. Even delay would Sc
riously leopard the interests of the
country and Of the government.
Immediate passage OF the bill to reg
uiate the expenditure OF money in
elections may seem to be less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment OF
the other measures to which / refer,
because at least two years will elapse
before another election In which fed
eral Offices are to be filled, bat it would
greatly relieve the public mind If this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dan
gers to the public morals of the pres
ent method of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods of
expenditure can be frankly studied in
the Light of present experience. And a
delay would have the further serious
disadvantage of postponing action. I'M
til another election was at hand and
some special object connected with it
might be thought to be in the mind Of
those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion OF partisan purpose.

The argument for the proposed

There is unessiness among the people

REGULATE EXPENDITURE
OF ELECTION MONEY

Immediate passage of the bill
to regulate the expenditure of
money in elections may seem to
be less necessary than the ifnno-
diate enactment of the other
measures to which | refer, be-
cause at least two years will
elapse before another election in
which federal offices are to be
filled, but it would greatly relieve
the public mind If this important
matter were dealt with while the
circumstances and the dangers TO
the public morals of the present
method of obtaining and spend
ing campaign funds stand clear
under recent observation and the
methods of expenditure can be
frankly studied in the light of
present experience.

OPERATION OF RAILWAYS
SHALL NOT BE STOPPED

To pass a law which forbade or
prevented the individual work
man to leave his work before re -
ceiving the approval of society
in doing so would be to adopt a
new principle into our jurispru-
dence which ! take it for grant
ed we are not prepared TO intro
duce. But the proposal that the
operation of the railways of the
country shall not hs stopped or
interrupted by the concerted &C
tion of organized bodies of men
until a public investigation shall
have been Instituted which shall
make the whole question at is
sue plain for the judgment of the
opinion of the nation is not to
propose any such principle. 1t is
based upon the very different
principle that the concerted ao-
tion of powerful bodies of men
shall not be permitted to stop the
industrial processes of the ma
ton.

On Thursday the Fort Madison
high school football team will meet
the Keokuk eleven on the home
grounds for the final tussle Of the

Fort Madison defeated the dam

The local boys show a finished
brand of football and are determined

having one Of the few teams who
possess this enviable record.
