self-respect and recognition by

In bringing about this end
greatest assistance will be given
the new chief executive by the
members Of his cabinet. These
have been selected with the ut
most care. Il is believed to augur

LITTLE LUCY IN BROKEN BLoSSOMSv

Miss Lillian Gish appears in "Brok- en Blossoms"-by far the most art istc production MT. Griffith has eyer done-now showing at the Coliseum Theatre for the last time tonight.
 It is quite certain that a girl less clever than Miss Gish might have found some difficulty in cre- ating the illusion of a fifteen year old child of the East London slums. Yet there she is. one of the most pathetic and moving figures that has ever wrung the sympathy of ones heart through the medium of the camera.
 When she is first seen on the screen you can believe at once that "for just over fifteen years this bruised little body has crapt aboIt Poplar and Limehouse" Beaten al most daily by her drunken father; never knowing kind or gentle word until it is spoken to her through the reverential love of Chinese poet, she is yet able to portray what her creator, Poet Burke. says about her ] The musical interpretation as rendered by the organist was ex- cellent, and much credit is due to this, to make the picture Broken Bloss sons" the success ii was A special production of this sort with special organ music, makes an entertain ment of the best.

stitutionai-Authority Hold to ss
Possessed by supervisors Only.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. March LIN a
drainage case filed In this city.
Judge Fl. L. Fry. OF Boone, has just
given q ruling holding section 1882
ass Of the Iowa code unconstitu-
tional This section sought to give
courts the right to establish drainage
districts. Judge Fry holds that this
right Is q legislative right vested In
boards OF supervisors and that the
rights OF courts are limited to ju-
dicial interpretations. The ruling
was made in a case in which action
was brought in the district court to
force the establishment OF drain
age district refused at a joint ses-
sion of the boards of supervisors of
Hardin and Hamilton counties.
The proposed district took In
about one-quarter of Hardin county
and a portion of Hamilton county.
At joint session OF the two boards,
the Hardin county board voted as u
unit for establishment and the Ham
ilton county board, as unit, voted
against it. Thus the motion failed
by a tie vote.
Alexander Mccoy and r. E. Baker.
both Hardin county land owners,
brought an action in the district
of supervisors OF the two counties
jointly, asking the court 10 establish
the district under section 19S0-a-36.
This section, among other things,
provides that in drainage cases
brought in the district court, The
same shall be tried as in equity - =
and the court shall enter Judgment
and decree dismissing the case, or
establishing such leyee or drainage
district"
Judge Ery's FuIns.
This section" says Judge Fry's
ruling just filed here, If valid.
clearly confers on the district court
the power to establish a drainage
district. The review Of such
questions however, is purely Jul.
dicial. The court does not under
take to perform a legislative act. II
exercises no discretion in the matter
1t simply decides whether the board
has acted legally. 1t involves, in ef-
feet, the power of the court 10 de-
termine whether an assessment shall
be made against the land owners
and their property taken contrary
to law
AS to the question of the court
establishing a drainage district
Judge Fry says, II am of the opinion
that the exercise Of such a power by
the judge of district court would
clearly be exercising a function APP
pertaining to the legislative depart
ment. This is the thing that is in
hibited by Article Three, Section
One, of the Iowa constitu ton.
Section 19s9-a-36, insofar as it at
tempts to confer upon the district
court the power to establish q drain
age district, is invalid"
This case will be one OF statewide
interest and the ruling made will
more than likely invalidate the es-
Establishment of not a few drainage
districts over Iowa which have been
made in district courts. It is rather
unusual for district court to de-
clare q state law unconstitutional
and Judge Fry's ruling will create a
vast amount of interest and discus
sion over the state.
