Admiral Evans' Ships Arrive Off Lower California Four Days Aliead of Schedule liFLEET IS IN FIGHTING TRIM 4^lmiral Reports to Washington That Vessels Are in Better Condition Than When They Started on Their Long Cruise Target Practice to Begin San Diego, Cal., March 12.—A wire f-Vless message received late last night by the Point Loma government wire less station was to the effect that .Evans' battleship fleet arrived off Magdalena bay early last night. The fleet is almost four days ahead of scheduled time for reaching Magda­ lena. It is reported on good authority that "Evans transmitted a message to Washington to the effect that all the ships were in even better condition 'tHkn they we^e when the fleet sailed from Hampton Roads,' and that he is even now ready for. any unforeseen v**: emergency that may arise and that the entire fleet is prepared to sail for any destination at -an hour's notice. The importance of this message is .overwhelming. The eyes of the en tire list of naval officials, and prac tically every citizen of the United fi&'-States and even the entire world were ^expectantly awaiting reports at the i- -terminus of the long voyage as to the Effects it would* have on the ships. •ijvTMow thai word has been received that the entire fleet'is in even better con dition than at the time it started on is long cruise, the mammoth naval undertaking Is crowned with bound Vislpss success. NeWs to the effect that the fleet i-w had arrived at Mag dalena early in the evehiwg was received at the wireless station at twenty minutes past mid night The message further stated that *target practice will be started by the ^Heet^juat as' soon as targets are set 'Lv- -up in their respective positions. It is expected this, will be done about Sat urday or Sunday and that the battle ships will begin practice the first of next week, when they will go after the world records in target1 work. Citizens to Extend Welcome. The steamer St. Denis left San Di jego Tuesday, bound for Magdalena !is£jBay, "with a party of prominent cltl 'l zens of San Diego to extend greetings of weloome to Rear Admiral Evans, his •officers and men of the flqet. The St. Denis will arrive at Magdalena Friday morning. As soon as the party reaches Magdalena it will board the Connecti cut, Admiral Evans' flagship, and ex tend felicitations in behalf of the city of San Diego and the state of Cali fornia. The St. Denis was chartered especially for the purpose of taking ithe party to meet the fleet. 4 4 The big new cruiser .California, -Which has .been at target) practice dur ing the past several weeks, left Mag dalena bay yesterday afternoon for San Diego and is expected to arrive Friday morning. The California has been assigned!^ to Admiral Sebree's famous "Pathfinder- squadron," com -j posed of the Tennessee, Flagship, and 3' Washington, and so named because it wu the squadron that sailed in ad vance and paved the way for the big battleship fleet on its long cruise from Hampton Roads around South Amer lea to the Pacific coast, which, has been anchored off San Diego since last Saturday. While no additional word had come fcy wireless from the south zone none is expected until well into the night, 'when the strong light rays of the sun make way for other impulses. Tt is believed here that "the American •v *»tle fleet," as it has been referred .to by President Roosevelt, is safe in the harbor of Magdalena bay. The last. word received from the fleet at he wireless station here was to the ef fect that the ships were off Magda ,lena Bay probably a distance of fifty miles or more, and would steam into the bay soon after daylight. 'Much Satisfaction Felt. Washington, March 12.—A feeling of genuine satisfaction prevails at the navy department today over the news of the arrival of the battleship fleet at Magdalena bay, the last stopping place of any lengbh "of time before .V the vessels reach ffan Francisco. The fleet has now covered the last long leg in the long voyage on which it driginally started, the itinerary to San Francisco from Magdalena bay con templating a number of stops en route. Taken primarily as a practice cruise, the voyage has come up to expecta tions. Ample and repeated opportuni ties have been afforded for drills and evolutions and other naval tactics, as well as opportunities for careful a.nd exacting seamanship in waters which to many American naval men are comparatively new. Above all, the fleet has practically finished the trip without an untoward incident of con .sequence, aod has arrived at Mttgda-. lena bay over two days ahead of her schedule time. Xaval officials say thfre is genuine cause for congratula tion over the manner Ir. which the fleet has completed its voyage of a trip on which it was started with partings and best wishes of the president and which is to be welcomed at the Golden Sate city by Secretary of the Navy 'i. sX., :t °v 4 Metcalf. Under favorable weather conditions target practice at Magda lena bay may be finished by the end of the present month. 2,500 STRIKERS LAID LOW. Machine Guns Turned on Men in In itiate Strike Mow Down Many. San Francisco, March 12.—The ma chine guns operated by the govern ment forces of Chile in the great con flict with the strikers at the nitrate beds and in the city of Iquique. Feb. 1, laid 2,500 men low, most of these be ing killed, according to advices re ceived yesterday by the Norwegian steamer Christian Bors, arriving direct from Chile. A story ooming from Sa\i Francisco tells of a great conflict between the government forces and strikers at Iquique, saying that 2,500 men were laid low, evidently is exaggerated and •incorrect, as to the date. A dispatch received from Valparaiso, dated De cember 2S. said that according to offi cial statement, a recent encounter at Iquique between nitrate strikers'and the police resulted in the killing of 200 men and the wounding of about fifty. This is undoubtedly the same occurrence as mentioned in the San Francisco dispatch. CONGRESS NOT BRIBED Representative Lilley Explains Thnt Charges Brought Are Against Boat Companies, and Not Legislators. Washington, March 12.—The special committee appointed by Speaker Can non to investigate the charges made by Representative Lilley that undue ef forts have been made by the Electric Boat Company to influence legislation, resumed its sittings today. At the op ening session, Lilley addressed the committee, saying he desired to cor rect the impression that had been cre ated by the report of the committee on rules, to the effect that he had charged that members of congress had been bribed. He denied that he made such charges, but said that up to the present time his accusations had been soleiy against the Electric Boat Com pany and ite predecessors, the Holland Company, and had covered the point that the companies had made an effort to influence legislation by congress. He insisted the committee should call cer tain officers of the electric company as witnesses, and that they be re quired to lay before the committee documentary eyidence in their posses sion. Calling the witnesses, he said, wis necessary to disclose the methods used by the company to secuK- legisla tion and the money disbursed by it:. Lilley then read, under oath, a care fully prepared statement in support of his charge. Lilley gave the names of Franklin H. Taylor and John T. Kellogg -of Wa terbury, Conn., and, Mr. Ferris, of Bridgeport, as those of persons who had asked him to vote for an appro priation for submarine boat legislation. He also said that Representative Hob son had been approached by a mem ber of the Electric company, with a proposition to get hi mon the naval af fairs committee if he would favor sub marine boat legislation. Representative Hobson testified that Lawrence Steer of New York, repre senting the Electric Boat Company, had told him his company had influ ence with Speaker Cannon and could get him appointed "on the committee on naval ffairs if he stoo4 right on sub marines. Tillman Wants to Know. "Washington, March 12.—-Senator Tillman today introduced a resolution calling upon the senate committee on finance to conduct an 'investigation and answer some pointed questions bearfng upon financial legislation.

Deposits Placed in Banks CLAIMS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL Delivers Address in Which He Says Proposition is as Dangerous as Bryan Free Silver Theories—Argues That Measure ia Socialistic and Un­ just. Columbus, O.. March 12.—Ex-Gov ernor Myron T. Herrick today ad dressed the Ohio legislature on "Guar antee of Bank Deposits," in reply to W. J. Bryan. He declared the guaran teeing of bank deposits is socialistic, in that it weakens the incentive for in dividual initiative along proper lines that it is an unconstitutional proposi tion and unjust. He appealed to his hearers not to jeopardize the best in terests of the state of Ohio by the passage of such a law. Continuing he said: "Bryan says the guarantee of bank deposits would revive the business of the country. I do( not agree with him. A period of depression following the panic is a natural and economic phen omenon beyond the power of legisla tion to alter. I agree with Bryan that 'the situation is not what it was in 1S93.' Then the constant agitation for the free coinage of silver drove capital from the country and caused violent liquidation. At that time Bryan advo cated the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as the panacea for all financial ills with the same insistency and cer tainty he now contends for the- guar antee of bank deposits. "Bank failure^ are due to three causes—First, acts of criminal intent and in violation of law: second, acts morally wrong but within the law third, poor judgment. What would be the effect of a law guaranteeing bank deposits in each of these divisions? Longer life for the institution and greater loss to the community when the end finally came." MINE WORKERS CONVENE. National Convention to Take Up Cen tral Field Situation. Indianapolis, March 12.—The na tional convention of United Mine Workers of America went into session here today to agree upon a course of action under the situation resulting from the failure of operators and min ers of the central competitive field to agree upon a joint wage conference to fix a scale to succeed the present scale, which expires April 1. At the opening of the convention President Mitchell reported the de tails of the successful conference be tween the operators and miners of the central competitive field, and an nounced that inasmuch as he is to retire from the .head of the organiza tion April 1, he did not feel justified in making any recommendation as to the future course of action and that it be referred to the scale committee. The suggestion was adopted. The con vention adjourned until tomorrow. In the meantime the scale committee will take up consideration of the situation. ON TRIAL SEVEN WEEKS.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, March 12.—Farmers all over northern Iowa will be saved a great deal of money by the action of the state railroad commission in not raising the minimum weight of cars on tile. The commission took up the tile matter Tuesday, it having been con tinued from the brick and tile hearing of some time ago. Probably not a doz en farmers in the state knew of the hearing and none was present or knew of its importance. There were a few •brick and tile manufacturers pre^ ent. 1 When the commission held a hearitig on the brick and tile freight rs.te some months ago and lowered the rate the railroads at once put in an application fbr a higher minimum rate on tile. There is no necessity for a minimum weight on brick for anyone can see that brick are solid and a car will always be loaded to Its capacity of weight with brick. But tile -are hol loyv 'and when a car is loaded, espec ially with the larger size of tile there •Is so much air space that the weight of the tile is far below the capacity of the car. Hence the commission has fixed a minimum of 24,000 pounds and the shipper must pay freight on 24,000 pounds whether he has that in the car or not, otherwise the railroad company would not get sufficient com pensation for the use of its cars. The railroads made application to have the minimum raised to 36,000 pounds. Commissioner Ketchum in questioning the representatives of the railroads disclosed the fact that in furnishing cars for J.ile for northern or northwestern Iowa the -railroads do not furnish their largest cars, tout fur nish stock cars. Here was a further handicap on the farmers. Of course the larger the car the nearer the ship per could come to getting "in as much weight as he has to pay for. But when a stock car is furnished which is much smaller in capacity the shipper has to pay still higher freight on the car. The railroads furnish stock cars bo cause the stock cars are in demand for carrying stock east and it is thus possible to take the car loaded both ways. It was on this showing that the com mission refused to raise the minimum weight. All thru northern Iowa the farmers are using many carloads of tile for drainage purposes. Much of this tile is of the large 12-inch and 10 inch size and it is impossible to get 24,000 pounds of this size into a car. .Hence the farmer pays freight on more weight than there really is. On the smaller sizes where the minimum Is exceeded he pays on the actual weight. Speculation Is rife as to whom the state convention will select as the del egates at large to the national repub lican convention. Some who #re can didates for the high honor are admit tedly standing little chance of being selected, and some who are making no effort for the position seem to stand a good chance of selection. Every mention of such delegates includes Hon. Joe R. Lane, of Scott county. If the selection is divided between the standpatters and the progressives, there is some considerable probability of the selection of Hon. Abe Funk, of Spirit Lake. The Allison people claim Joe R. Lane and the standpat newspapers all say that the Allison people will con trol the state convention. As soon as it became apparent that Mr. Funk would not be a candidate for governor the standpat newspapers began to say some very pleasant things about him, and pictured him as a martyr. The progressives would like nothing better than to see Mr. Funk selected as one of the delegates at large, but George D. Perkins, a resident of the Eleventh district, also wishes to be a delegate at large, and admittedly both will not be selected. Webb Byers has also been men tioned for the progressives in case there is a division of the honors at the state convention. Major Lacey, of Os kaloosa, is mentioned as a possible standpat selection. The names of Lane, Byers, Lacey and Perkins is put up as one combination. There seems to be no doubt but that the standpat ters will have a majority in the state convention, tho it may hot be. large. Just how docile that majority will be is another matter. Many of the stand pat delegates who will sit in that con vention will vote for Cummins for United States senator. The lines have not been drawn so hard and fast as in the 1906 campaign, and the division between standpatters and progressiv in the convention will be less distinct ly marked. Smallpox Spread by Dairy. Iowa City. March 12.—It was dis covered by the health authorities that milk from a farm which was quaran tined f^r smallpox was being distrib uted to customers in Iowa City, and as a result there is a considerable scare here.

Sensational Damage Cases Settled Out of Court. LeMars, March 12.—The sensational damage suits brought by Miss Louise Julch against John H. Brehm, George H.

Miss Julch sued each of the men named for $3,000 damages on the grounds of slander and defamation, alleging they coupled her name with that of a well known business man of Hinfon. The settlement was m.ade thru Miss Julc.h's attorney, T. "M. Zink. and he declines to state the amount of cash which the defendants to the suit paid, altho it is understood they made a highly satisfactory set tlement on a monetary basis and ten dered a public apology which shows that Miss Julch was not the one who requested a settlement. _k"' ONE YEAR FOR MURDER Dakota Resident Who Killed Two Men Receives Light Sentence Claimed Self Defense.- Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-ftepubllcan. Des Moines, March 12.—The supreme court decided that the habitual crim inal act is constitutional. In an opin ion handed down Tuesday in the case of the state against Vernon Dowden, alias Thomas. Wood, the court holds that the law has continually in other courts been held to be constitutional and it holds to the same view. In the case in question Dowden is alleged to have stolen a mare from George Frey of Fayette county in March, 1907. On the showing that It was his third cdnvietion he was sen tenced under the habitual criminal act. In the appeal of the case to the su preme court Dowden's attorneys en deavored to have the law, section 5091-b of the code supplement set aside as unconstitutional. On the claim that It was unconsti tutional because It was ex post r'acto in .its operations in that the act hav ing been passed since the former con victions changes the burden of proof, the court held that this question was not argued in the district tourt and hence it would not consider it but in the further discussion of the case in timated that it was not a valid con tention. It was further argued by the de fense that the law was unconstitutional because cruel and inhuirian. The court holds that this is not a valid co/itention as the legislature has full authority to judge what is cruel and Inhuman and the court has not the right to invade such authority. Another case of considerable im portance to the city of Des Moines de cided by the supreme court is that against the F. M. Hubbell Sons Co.. In which the company was Indicted for renting houses for purpos es of immorality. The company de murred to the indictments and ap- dictmentsi were bad for duplicity and uncertainty,-the uncertainty being that the location of the houses .'was not stated. /The supreme court decided in favor of the state that the indictments were good an,d- the'case will now go to trial in the district court. There are seven of the cases against the Hub. bells. I r. ij Th practic^d£~ Hubbell.

Several Surprises in Late Con ventions Held in Counties of the State HANCOCK DIVIDES DELEGATION Floyd, Considered Progressive, Adopts Allison Resolutions Progressives Gain by Securing Half of Marion County Second District Goes Standpat. Special lo Times-Republican. Des Moines, March 12.—There were several surprises in the county con ventions held in Iowa yesterday, and as a result the Allison forces in the state made gains. Tin- surprises were a division of the delegation from Han cock, supposed to be progressive, the control of the Floyd convention by the standpats when it was conceded to tho progressives, and the division of the Marion county delegation, which had been considered as safely in the Allison column. The divisions' in the two counties were made in the inter ests of harmony and to promote the Interests of local candidates. Win nebago went progressive as expected, while Chickasaw and Benton lined up for Allison, as anticipated. The AYoodbury county convention is being held today and it is generally conceded that the Allison men will be in control, the progressives having put fortli little effort in that county. In the Second district convention the standpatters were in control and un seated the progressives from Burling ton, after a lively contest. Division in Hancock. Special to Times-Republican. Garner.

The following resolutions were adopted: "That we most heartily and en thusiastically endorse the able, hon est and forceful administration of President Roosevelt and the govern mental policies for whic.h he stands. That we endorse the action of the senators from this state and the con gressman from this district in the hearty support given the president and his policies. We further endorse the state administration of Governor •Cummins and commend the last leg islature for the wise and .benellcent laws placed upon our statute books. "We believe that this county, never* having had a district delegate to the national convention, they are en titled to one of the places this year and we recommend that the delegates to the district convention from this county submit the name of J. E. Wich nian to that convention as a candidate for that position. "We believe that the republican na tional convention to be held in Chi cago in June should formulate a plat form of principles for the campaign of 1908, in conformity with the policies for which President Roosevelt stands, and recommend that the delegates to the state and district conventions from this county support only such' candi dates for delegates to the national con vention as are fully in harmony with President Roosevelt and his policies, and who are heartily and in good faith favorable to the nomination of Secretary Tj'aft as the republican can didate for president." The following delegates wefe named: C. S. Terwilliger, J. E. Wichman, John Hammill, A. J. Cole, Chris Gilstrap. C. G. Lucas, S. L. Thompson, Harold Pike, J. E. Rathbun. 1 The contest from Des Moines coun ty, involving its eighteen delegates, re sulted in the seating of the standpat delegates by the credentials committee. The committee had a two hours' ses sion, during which both sides of the case were argued, for the progressives by W. W. Copeland and Mike Flynn, and for the standpatters by H. S. Rand and Lamonte Cowles. But the report of the credentials committee was not unanimous. Two members, H. A. Geeseka, of Henry county, and Charles S. Crail, of Jefferson county, presented a minority report for the seating of the progressive delegates. The resolutions adopted praised President Roosevelt and his enforce ment of law, especially those relating to corporations they also instructed the delegates to the national conven tion to vote for Taft as long as his name is in the convention. The works and record of Senator Allison were warmly praised and support was promised to Congressman -Kennedy. County Convention Results.

Probably there will be a loud chorus of wails and entreaty when the new laws go into effect, and the "Home Owners" wake up and (ind themselves hound hand and foot and "trimmed" of their savings and property by the deft hand of the Labor-Socialist "class" and according to laws passed while the Home-Owpers slept, and which the courts must execute. "Impossible," you say, but the game is on and the Labor-Socialists are right now actively at work before con gress and the various State Legisla tures, and will establish these laws quickly unless stopped. Their plan is based on one princi ple. If any man lias worked and been economical and self-denying, and has bought a home, take it away, and di vide up the proceeds among those who are unthrifty, drinking, profligate or simply "failures." Take money away from the man who has it. Give it to tlie man who hasn't. But this must be done cunningly, and ,by passing some, shrewdly drawn Ipvswh.ich hide the real meaning. The Labor-Socialists are working hard to frighten and force public men to pass at least a dozen bills, each of which has, away down at the bottom, a plan to take away a part or all of earned money and the thrifty man's savings and give them to the unthrifty. They will surely succeed unless the "home owners" wake up and protest in numbers enough to win. "Don't believe a word of It," the av erage reader says. Naturally, because the average read er seldom examines bills offered to congress and the legislatures, and if he casually reads of the«e bills they ipok harmless enough. Some will only wake up when, un der the new laws, (if the LaborSo cialists succeed in having the bills passed) thfey find their property and savings'ooze away and the courts pow erless to prevent. This is a contest between the un thrifty "class" trying to wrest money, property, and power from the Home Owning "class.'-' Now let the reader sort out the dif ferent characters in- society, and as they are defined, locate each man in one or the other of these "classes." One class earns and saves and the other seeks to take what itdoesn't earn. The discontented, surly and botch The man who poured acid in the mouth of an independent workingman in Chicago after he had been beaten unconscious. The steady, well-trained mechanic who owns a home. The tramp. The professional criminal, whose pic ture the police keep in the rogues' gal lery. AVhen you see him reading a newspaper in a saloon, you can not only name the newspaper that nour ishes his criminal instincts, but can ac curately locate him in his class, and probably make a close guess at what ticket he votes. The Successful Merchant. 1 The Well-Trained Physician. I The Wild-eyed-dirty-finger-nail chap over his second pot of beer. The Labor-Socialist. The Farmer. The Minister of the Gospel. The Anarchist. You see you can pick them out and put each one in his class. There are only two "classes." One thinks thoughts of hate, jealousy and re venge, seeking money it does.-not earn, property which has been earned by the sweat of other brows, and in disap-1 pointinent and anger, these social "fail ures" naturally tend towards disorder, law-breaking and a general upheaval, in which they hope to take away the savings of the other class. The members of the '"Other Class" think thoughts of work, sturdy, well directed, intelligent work work which brings good pay. because it is good service to mankind. The sober, re sponsible Locomotive Engineer. The Skilled Mechanic, The Farmer. Mer chant, Doctor, Lawyer. Banker. School Teacher, and Minister.

Pleasant, March 12.—Father Bassler, pastor of the Alphonsus Cath olic church, resigned his pastorate here yesterday, after nearly a quarter of a century of faithful service. His resig nation was a great surprise to his many friends" here, as well as all over the state. He will preach his farewell sermon here next Sunday, in which he will give a short review of the con gregation and the work accomplished here during tile past quarter of a cen tury. Father Bassler was held in high esteem by all the community, being known by everyone, and liis intended departure is a source of grief to all. O the They're After You Now let's have a look, and in consid ering each bill or act, keep in mind the underlying plan. "Extract from the thrifty and home owning people at least a part of their savings, to be divided among the un thrifty I^abor-So.cialists." You may have to search step by step thru the apparently harmless part of these proposed laws, but darefully fol low the,steps and it will be seen that the final end and aim is to take money away frdm the "House-Owning, thrif ty "class" and.give it to the unthrifty "clash." thus, is the main source of their bread and butter. But a part at least is to be taken from them to be given to the unfortunante "Unthrifty." That would be benevolence if it was not a legal robbery of some to make gifts to others. Then It is the plan to extend this forced benevolence to the individual employer, just as the Labor-Socialists have succeeded in doing in England. It is an active working law there now in operation under which, if, for In stance, a house servant has an acci dent no matter whether about the house or elsewhere and becomes dis abled, the employer's property is held to pay one pound (about $5.00) a week for the balance of the life of the ser vant. Thus in afew years with a bad run of "luck" the home-owner might have saddled on him a half dozen such pen sioners and his property held to pay perhaps $25.00 to $50.00 a week. Do you see how adroitly this extracts money from the thrifty? We will all admit that the injured should have help that is human be nevolence. Every permanently Injured poor man should have a public home to live in free, all the balance of his days he has, we will say, done his share of Later on we are to have "Old Age Pensions" for every man when he reaches say 60 years. notice, when the Labor-Socialist lead ers in England were asked if the mem bers of their class would contribute, the answer was, "Not one farthing." They prooose to secure the entire sum from the Home-Owner "Class." Back again to their principle, you see. It seems benevolent to vote large sums for public work for the "unem ployed." That class is made up largely of Labor-Socialists and incapable, botch workmen. The worthy workmen are seldom "unemployed." Many of these "unemployed" are the noisy chaps selves and kept thousands of good men from work.

The Labor leaders have brought strikes fo force all employes to kick out independent American workmen and employ only "Union" men, thus to give absolutely power to the leaders, secure fees to pay their -own' salaries andl" savings invested orderto keep their slaves interested force higher and higher wages. Here wg reach the foundation fact again. Now, when the jobs the'Labor-So cialists threw away are taken by oth ers, or the business has been killed for the time, and they are "unemployed," do they pay their own expenses or do they besiege the authorities to tax tte class of Home-Owners to pay extra money towards a public fund to be used to pay the "class" of unemployed Labor-Socialists? Here the line between classes is clearly drawn and you get back agaii to the same old gpot, "Take from one class and give to the other." "Make the consumer pay extra mon ey and give it to the Labor-Socialists." "Charge the Home-owner extra wages for all labor which enters into the building of his home." "He has been saving, now let's take away part of it." High lVage for skillful work is de sirable for all, but when a Labor Un ion gains power enough to force home owners to pay two, three or four times! what hod-carriers and other workmen are actually worth it mean9 just so much extra money extracted from the home-owner, more than the service i* worth.

The law-defiers are organized and able to present organized effort against, heretofore, an unorganized public. Now, however, the .-Home Owners have effected an organization known as the Citizens Industrial Ass^a of America .with a Central ibody in New York and local bodies In many towns and cities. Competent lawyers are employed to watch the vicious measures introduced in Congress and the Legislatures and defend* the rights, of the common Citizens from these insidious attacks and to prevent' the enactment of laws which rob"' one class, the Home-Owners, and pass over to the Labor-Socialists, money and property -which they do not earn, and power which would enable them to enslave the common people and force them to "obey."

This is a clearly-drawn contest be tween the Common citizens and Home-Owners seeking protection and the Labor Trust seeking to obtain control of affairs and take money and property from the -Home-Owners. The strongest organization will win and if the Home-Owners fall to stand together they will certainly lose at least a part of their properties and' more or less personal liberty. .There are communities now where organized labor has gained control and eyery man must "bow" and. contribute and implicitly "obey," quit work when told, patronize those whom the labor lead ers designate, and in various ways act the .slave. It has gone so far that Juries fear to convict known murderers and whole communities are terrorized. IT. S. Judge Wm. H. Hunt of Butt*, Montana, was brave enough to say: "God gave him his hands, his back and the right to uje them as he pleases. It is an Inalienable right No power can take it away, froih .a .man. No power can compel. him to- work. No power can compel him, to stop working if he desires to work.. .When upon themselves to siy that they are the law, and to defy the process#.of the courts, to defy the police author ity of the land, to usurp the authority of the established governmen, to tip set the very base of society in which wo all live, there Is a power which will come to the rescue of the man .who is wronged in that way and that power is that which protects you and protects me. and must continue to afford us all protection, else govern ment Is destroyed." For these principles our ancestors laid down their lives. But they stand in the way of the La?bor-Socialists who now seek to enact laws to overset. them.

Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, March 12.—For several weeks past it has been hinted that three detectives were at ^vork in this city in the interests of the Anti-Saloon League of the state, and had been pay ing particular attention to the man ner in which the drug stores of the city observed the mulct law. There had been s.ome infractions of the laws, but the seriousness of the same was not known until this forninf, wheng not known until this morning, when there was filed in the office of the district clerk, petitions for an injunc tion against nine of the medicine shops, in each case it being alleged that they had sold liquor illegally and asking the court to abate the huisance and grant a perpetual injunction.

"Well, isn't it quite natural to give expressions of feeling in the midst of dramatic scenes?" the attorney asked Burns. "Yes, In the theater, but this was In the court room." The attorney for Doyle asked Burns if this was not a trial full of unusually I dramatic scenes and incidents, in which men had risen from poverty to great wealth, but Burns said he did not see anything unusual about it as an ex perience in the mining country, nor did he see' that it made any difference in bringing it from a state where such things and such litigation were com mon to the prafries of Iowa, where ag riculture had been the principal occu pation.

The mild and the extraordinary The mild and the extraordi: R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick A TRUE FRIEND TO AGRICULTURE. Lacking perhaps the oratorical ring1 to his voice which so thrilled those who listened to Mr. Trewin, Lieuten ant Governor Garst told the farmers buslnegs facts whlch will remain them as I had the state treasurer the other day give me some figures to show how much of your money you are putting .^1 into this work. The coming year the allowance for support and general col lege work will amount to $214,500. If you want to know how much we ap preciate the magnitude of our agri cultural industry, if you want to know what the people of Iowa think of the work being done at Ames, compare this sum with the less thaji $4V,000 given for the same purpose only a few years ago. ,lh information well worth the deveIopment' Mr" Garst aa chainl,an In the expenditure of state money up on the Ames school of agriculture. From personal knowledge, and vith a loyalty to the purposes of the school which has been tested by his legisla tive experience, Mr. Garst told of what the state had done for agriculture, aa follows: Appreciation of this great work is not more today than it was twenty to thirty years ago, but it has grown in a practical way. The report of your state treasurer shows that twenty three years after the founding of the school, Iowa was giving about $4,000 a year for support, and that less than $20,000 a year was going from the gen eral fund of the state for both support and buildings at Ames. It is not for us to quarrel with those who believed that a great agricultural school coild be built up b'y doling out this small portion of your money for the encouragement of the noble men and women who at great personal sairiflce were blazing the way for present' day greatness.* But a better day came»—no matter why, no matter how—and we find that t?n years later, or in 1901, the general fund of Iowa was contributing about $80,000 a year for this work. The pe pli oi Iowa had seeri'a great light, and it was shining brightly. We had c.)n over to a new century, and per haps had turned a new leaf. The stu dents of the first college classes were demanding thfit their children and their neighbors' children be educated of the hand as well as of the brain. And we have gone.on. The order has not yet been given to reverse the wheels. Just a few figures.can be given that will show how far we have gone and What Iowa is now doing for Iowa's sure, chiefest industry in and thru this great farm and technical school, this industrial and practical university. But this is not all. You know that you decided a few years ago. that there must be an end of makeshifts and patchwork, and that we must cease to house one of our grandest institutions In ramshackle firetraps. It was de creed that we should have substantial and permanent college buildings with modern equipment. The millage tax brings to the building fund over $130, 000 annually. If to this we add the $34,000 annual income from he endowment, the $27, 000 for extension work—a grand move ment just in Its Infancy—and $7,500 for experiments ln animal breeding, you find a grand total of $413,000 go ing annually to put Iowa's splendid ag ricultural school on a basis worthy such a state as ours. If there be one among you not whol ly familiar yith this work I advise him to hasten this season to journey over into the next county and see for him self what is done. If he has eyes that see, and ears that hear, he will know better than I can tell just what Iowa has been and Is doing for agriculture. Remember, always, that in addition to providing a great school for this gen eration, we are building for next year and the next century, making perma- Veil bred and prices in reach of any I nent investment for our children ^nd our children's children. I do not be lieve that history will bristle with crit Icism of this generation for having been too free with its money, or hav ing built too well. Mr. Garst told the State Center insti tute that the state of Iowa had led the world in the matter of doing things for agriculture in that It ,had educated Hon. James Wilson for the exceptional duties which he had performed as sec retary of agriculture in the president's cabinet. He spoke of the benefit of the traveling libraries, the local Institutes, the special trains and all the activi ties of the agricultural students and closed with some most practical sug gestions for agricultural high schools which would carry to all parts of the state the educational advantages now offered to those who caih gain access to Ames. This agricultural platform of his and his past record convinced everyone that if Garst ever became governor there would be one true friend of agriculture in a high place. In closing he said: With land worth $150 an acre. It Is absolutely necessary that we make substantial advances in producing ca pacity. I feel that this Is positively assured: and while the state will do great work for Iowa farming in this preparation for a new professional class, and while this will be done in the most altruistic spirit, the result will lie indirectly beneficial for the whole body politic. A prosperous farming class makes a prosperous community a-s a whole. The banker, C. -v: V. Iowa has done some valuable initia tory work along this line. Our farm institutes have led up thru a natural process of evolution to the somewhat larger work of agricultural extension and domestic science. While much has been done iL is recognized that tho work is inadequate and there is a feel ing that we must have, and that very soon, a more elaborate system, with better facilities and longer periods of instruction, in short, a development and perfection of the idea. We must have this so that our agricultural in terests can take the place evidently intended for them by an all-wise prov idence as a leader in the agricultural, industrial, and indirectly in the finan cial, affairs of the nation. You are to be congratulated that you live so near that you can take yearly advantage of the scientific de partments of the college at Ames but knowing tile altruistic spirit of Iowa farmers, I feel confident that you will also lend your support and give your utmost influence to the establishment of at least four agricultural high schools in those parts of the state not favored as you are in Marshall coun ty. In my judgment, in view of* tlie fact that a very large percentage of our children never go beyond the eighth gnfde in our common schools, and this is especially true of the chil dren of the fanlis, it seems almost es sential for the very perpetuity of our civilization that a provision of this or similar character be made, so that ev ery boy or girl who desires may get a special training in practical things. I refer not only to the arts of agricul ture, but also to training in domestic science and similar matters. In this connection my attention was attracted to a newspaper editorial re cently which seemed to me full of slg nilicance. Without attempting to quote what was said, the writer carried out the thought that in a country where there is repugnance to a large stand ing army, it might not be amiss for the government, perhaps assisted by the state, to make provision for technical and manual training, and at the same time make provision for military train ing. Thus we would be in a very prac tical way training for the arts of peace, and hi case we should be so unfortunate as to find it necessary to defend our rights by a recourse to arms we would have the nucleus of a great army whose patriotism and effi ciency would not be questioned. The fact that men are thinking along these lines, and are ready to discuss such propositions, indicates that It is high time we were giving the matter seri ous consideration. BAILEY SIZES UP ROOSEVELT.

In the deduction which was made of lie effect of Judge Bradsliaw's de -ision no thought was present that the •ourt had been ridiculous nor was there tile least desire to make the decision ippcnr absurd. However, even- with lie admission that newspaper men iftay viiow as little about law. and especially paving law. as a millionaire does about mmiUs, the T.-R. will persist in the be lief that should a man come into tills court with a lot approximating the \alitc of Die Morgan lot be would hii.ve •o show more than 10N feet of paving before this court could consistently rule that it was in excess of the special benefit. The court has already held bat in the case of the Morgan lot the peeial benefit was eijual to approxi uately the cost of this much paving. Why, then, should not other lots be nidged much the same? In the case if an inside lot its value could be al nost half that of the Morgan lot and feet of paving still not he in excess the special benelit.

Worden, a well-known employe of Brittain and for seven years past country buyer for that concern, today announces his candidacy for the nomination as sheriff of Marshall county. Mr. Worden is widely known in the county, and has a large follow ing which supported him in the race against C. S. Hutson and W. F. Koontz two years ago. Air., Worden has been a life-long re publican, and in Nebraska, where he livedo before.'coming to Marshalltown fifteen years ago, he was sheriff of his county. He served as sheriff of Nuck olls county three years, having been appointed one year to till a vacancy. Two years prior to his appointment he was a deputy. Mr. Wordfcn entered the employ of Brittain Co. ten years ago, as a yard man. His worth was recognized, and three years later he was made a coun try buyer, a position he has since filled with satisfaction to his employers. Mr. Worden made a good fight in the last contest, and "was much encour aged to make si second attempt. He carried eleven precincts, including ev ery one in which he had bought hogs, and his own, the First ward, in this city. He was beaten in the three cornered fight by 415 votes. Air. Worden is a clean campaigner, and is not a believer in mud slinging. He declares he will not resort to any thing but fair methods, no matter wiio wins or. how the campaign may go. 1-Ie believes this to be the way to make friends ,'and keep them.

Had she had sufficient presence of mind, ljJeuluh Bandflold, the young girl who met death by drowning In the Iowa fiver back of the soldiers' home Wednesday afternoon, would have come to no harm. Her companion, Florence Ford, escaped unharmed Miss Bandfield, however, became fright ened when an oar slipped from its lock, and jumped into the water near the bank. While for some distance along the shore the water is shallow, the very spot where the girl Jumped con tained ten feet of water, and she went to the bottom. •Miss Ford, the surviving member ot the ill-fated boating party, was ques tioned by Coroner Nichols, in the pres ence of Commandant Horton and a Times-Republican reporter. Miss Ford said that she and Miss Bandfield se cured a boat at the home landing, in tending to go for a little row down the river. The current was very swift, and they kept close to shore. One of the oars became unfastened and dropped Into the water. The boat was carried away from It, and Miss Bandfield tried to reach it. She failed in this and became excited, presum ably fearing that the boat would be carried down stream. The boat was only about three or four feet from shore, and Miss Bandfield jumped Into the water, evidently thinking that it was shallow, and she could easily reach shore. She went down, and when she arose Miss Ford handed her the other oar, and told her to grab it. "She only threw up both arms," Miss Ford said, "and made no effort to get the oar, When she came up again 1 pushed the oar out to her, but she did not try to get it. I think she was too excited to know what I was doing. She came up the third time, but when she went down that was all. The current took me down stream, and some one yelled meito-tgke the otjjer. oar and use a a ad id a iT W iS and landed safely at the first bend." Miss Ford is a daughter of G. W. Ford, a .Lennox Furnace Company molder, living at 302 South Sixth av enue. Body in Water Some Time. Miss Bandtield's body was In the wa ter about three-quarters of an hour, and was finally recovered by "Ike" Mann, a boatman, and John Berg, clerk in the quartermaster's office. It was found about ten rods down stream 'from where the girl disappeared. Work Hard to Bring Life. Dr.W. J. Neuzil, assistant surgeon of the home, was at the water's edge, when the bpdy was recovered, and took charge of the girl. He gave a hypoder mic injection of morphine, and had the body removed immediately to the hospital after forcing as much water out of the .body as was possible. As sisted by Mrs. M. A. Shaffner, acting superintendent of -nurses, and six or eight nurses from the floor, Dr. Neu zil worked over the body for a little over an hour, trying to effect artificial respiration and get some response from the stimulants. The efforts were all useless, however. Girl's Father in the Home. Miss Bandfield was a daughter of William Bandfield, of Fraser, Boone county, who is a member pf the home and a patientw in the hospital suffer ing from a cancer. Mrs. Kate Band field, his wife, is employed as head cook in the main building at the home. The young woman, who was only 15, but large for her age, was employed as a waitress in the main building, and was referred to by those in charge of the dining room as one of the best" girls the institution hacl. A sister, Carrie, who was also employed as a waitress, quit a, short time ago owing to ill health, and returned to Fraser, where three married' sisters live. She was notified by wire of her sister's death Wednesday evening. Coroner Nichols decided an inquest unnecessary. The young woman's sisters living at Fraser are Mrs. Susan Webb, Mrs. Phoebe Elsberry, and Mrs. May Sewer. Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Elsberry and Miss Carrie Bandfield reached the city early this morning. The body will be taken to Frazer for interment, leaving this evening. RULE NOT ADMISSIBLE. So Says Judge Bradshaw in Refer ence to Paving Decision Deductions. "Editor Times-Republican: I read In the T.-R. this evening, in your comment on the opinion in the Morgan case, that the logical deduction from the opinion is that the court held, 'that a corner lot may be assessed for 108 feet, but above that amount the cost would be excessive,' etc. To pre sent a wrong impression obtaining' from your deduction, among parties interested, I have simply to say that no such rule would be admissible under our present, statutes and further, that no such thought ever entered by mind. :What wa.= in the mind of the court, was that, liad the Morgan lot frohted on Fourth avenue, instead of Main street, and the side of the lot abutted on Main 180 feet, the Morgan lot would have been assessed (under the plan adopted by the city council) for' the cost of only sixty feet of paving, that Is, one-third of what it was as sessed on the side, and yet 4t would have been of the same ai^ea and prac- A v* fePW3W-:S, sTj -a- tically the same value. On Church street, which was, as I. think, unadvis edly Included in the same paving dis trict, and let in the same contract for paving, the lots generally fronted on Church street and if they were, of sixty feet front, and 150 feet, or even 180 f«£t in depth, the assessment on such lots w|ls only on the sixty feet front. Which! was again one-third of the assessment on Fourth avenue lots. "The disproportion, or discrimination on failure to assess, notably among the lot owners in the district. Is what the law disallows. Had Fourth avenue been the entire district, and had the contract for paving that avpnue been let sep arately, I could not say that there was any unfair or disproportionate assess ment among the owners on^hat aven ue, and in that case I could not have set aside the assessment on that ground. For, on that avenue they were all assessed about equally. But what ever I might have done or might not have done, in such case, I trust 1 would or could not have been led to announce In a legal opinion, a doctrine so un warranted and absurd as that the side of a lot abutting 180 feet on a street, could be assessed for only 108 feet for a street improvement. "You doubtless made this deduction from the coincidence of the assessment being reduced 40 per cent and that a 40 per cent reduction of 180 feet, leaves 108 feet. Arriving at an assessment by the foot measure would involve an intellectual process, and a discrimina tion exercised by the, millionaire, who was elected to congress, and who, on taking his house in the capital city, found he had no books for the shelves of the library, so. knowing little or nothing about books, he measured the shelves, found the number of feet that they aggregated, ^and then grave his or der for the number of feet of books required to ,fill the shelves. "Please favor me with a correction of your deduction in the particular above pointed out. ."Yours truly, "C. B. BRADSHAW." "March 11, 1908." ARE AFTER SUNDAY Famous Evangelist is.

Too Many Christians Err in Making Comparisons of, Morality. lV £he .Methodist church last night Dr. A. B. Buckner made many telling points relative to the lives, motives, customs and ac tions of his hearers, as well as other citizens of Marshalltown. He pointed out how many professing ^Christians, as well as those not professing to be Christians, make bad cases of "fall down." The scripture reference was: "But they, measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise." The thought of the speaker was mainly 'ks follows: In making a measurement or corij parisdn, a standard Is necessary, and standards vary greatly. Each commun ity has its standards: each clique of people has Its standards. These may be standards of wealth, of dress, of literary culture, of social customs, or even moral standards. Because a boy is taller than the other little boys in his group, he puffs up and imagines himself to be almost a man, altho his standard of measurement Is very low. If he caii wallop the smaller boys in his crowd, or if he can get the best marks ii^ his class, he regards himself with pride and admiration, altho as a matter of fact he may be of very ordinary ability—his standard of measurement is too low. Life in all circles and conditions manifest these same traits, the appar ent attribute of human nature, people comparing themselves with themselves, and erring therein. 'Church members there are who, when they wish to do something that they really feel is, not quite consistent, look about to see what, others are doing, and bolster themselves up by saying that other reputable people do the same thing. Lowering their standard, they attempt, to justify themselves by the shortcom ings of others. Moreover, the person who is outside the church points to these same people and sometimes calls them hypocrites and claims he is as good as they are, or possibly better. People like to conform to the standard of their set, and if the standard is low they frequently come down to It, nor wishing to appear odd or peculiar. There is but one perfect standard, and that is Jesus Christ, who should be our pattern. By his life and prin ciples, we should judge our motives and thoughts and actions. An appeal was made for all to conform to this perfect standard. TROPHY FOR WINNERS. Handsome Prize Be Awarded to Championship Team.

Marshall Vinegar Co., Desires to Contract For 200 Acres in Vicinity of Marshalltown NEW STATION AT MONTEZUMA Farmers Can Make Big Money Rais ing Cucumbers as They Yield 100 to 300 Bushels to the Acre and They Can Contract Th«m for 60 Cents a Bush el at the Vinegar Company Factory. Another demonstration that goods made in Marshalltown are the uust in the world, is shown by the increased demand for the products of the Mar shall Vinegar Company, who are now compelled to seek additional territory In which to raise the cucumbers from which their pickles are made. They now have a station at LeUrund, with a capacity of 5,000 bushels, another at Chelsea with a capacity of 10,000 bush els. At these stations contracts are mado for a certain number of acres at a certain price per bushel for the cut cumbers delivered to the station, and there they arc salted and shipped to the main factory here when they can use them." These stations are used Ip con nection with dhe large number which are raised and delivered to the factory here by farmers who live adjacent to Marshalltown. But with all this they have been forced by the large increase of business to go a little farther away from home to get sufficient cucumbers, and are now contracting at Montezuma with the farirurs to put in 100 acres of cucumbers, which will necessitate the erection of a salting plant with a capacity of from 10,000 to 20,000 bushels, while at home here they will make contracts for at least 20,000 bushels of cucumbers at a price of 60 cents a bushel, which will mean a good many dollars in the pock ets of the farmers ip this locality. There is good money fn the business of raising cucumbers for this factory and everyone interested should see or write the factory here for particulars and contracts. This increase of acreage will mean an increased number of men In the works here to take care of the product. When the pure food law went Into ef fect the Marshall Vinegar Company was not compelled to change a single label or in any way change the pro cess of manufacture. It has been this system of giving good goods for a fair price that has made it possible for the Vinegar Company to steadily Increase their business wjiiie others have been compelled to curtail their output. Their Perfection S%'iet and Sour Pickles are sold in nearly ten states and terri tories, and everywhere give the great est satisfaction. FRY FOR CORONER.
