Washington, Dec. 14.—In an opinion by Justice Holmes, the supreme court today held that E. II. Harriman and Otto Kalin, the latter a New York banker, should not be required to ans wer the interstate commerce commis sioner's questions concerning dealings in stocks between the Union Pacific and other roads to which they refused to make response when the subject was under Investigation in New York. Con struing the decision of the court in a dissenting opinion, Justice Day ex pressed the opinion that the construc tion given the interstate commerce law takes from It all power of investiga tion. Big Victory for Harriman. The case came to the supreme court on cross-appeals by Harriman and the government from a decision of the cir cuit court of the southern district of New York, holding that Harriman should be compelled to make response to most of the questions. It arose in connection with the order of the com mission of Nov. 15, 1906, directing in quiry into the combination of the Un ion Pacific road with such other lines as the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Illi nois Central, Alton and New York Cen tral. This order was very sweeping in character and Intended to develop facts regarding the community inter est between the Union Pacific and oth er roads, tlie(.practices and methods of the roads, rates received, etc. It was also hoped it would bring out facts re garding the transfer of other stocks in the Union Pacific. Harriman Refuses to Answer. When Harrimf.n was put on the stand he declined, in response^ to question, to say whether he had owned any of the Alton stock which was pur chased by Union Pacific and the price of which had been fixed by himself whether a portion of the stock of the Illinois Central had been acquired by a pool of which he was a member with a view of1 selling it to the Unioh Pa cific whether the Union Pacific direc tors were interested in the New York Central stock which was acquired by the Union Pacific, and hoW much stock of the Santa Fe was owned by direc tors of the Vnion Pacific. The cir cuit court directed Harriman to reply to these questions and he responded by appealing to the supreme court. Much interest has been felt in the case be cause of its very great importance. Announcement of the court's decision was listened to with deep interest by those present in court. The opinion re versed .the decision of the lower court insofar as it compelled response, and affirmed'the portion In which the court refused to compel such response. It is a sweeping victory for Harriman and his associates. MR. ROOSEVELT DECLINES. Ctfn Not Accept Presidency of the Un versity of Minnesota.

And tie Iowa citizen without regard to his position as to prohibitory legislation looks on them a lessened number of saloons as a present necessity.

It is also rank folly ito urge that if the mulct 1s raised that the saloon would necessarily de scend to crooked ways of earnings the excess.

Stephens, a Congrega tional preacher In Des Moines, talked considerable good hard horse sense to his congregation yesterday morning •When he dwelt with wholesale denun relations of the theater, card games and dancing, as indulged in by godly and pious persons.'' Mr. Stephens will find pretty general support and agree ment with his assertions thai "To denounce unsparingly the the ater is to drive into a pen the great 'writers and actors of our magnificent dramas with the army of filth-producing Aa.nd fUth-rehearsing peple and stuff that are indiscriminately classed with Ithe best by those who are willfully or otherwise incapable of sane judge ment. Likewise to attack with tooth and claw the dance, irrespective of classiflcktion. Is .to declare that the lewd, sickening bowery orgy is no less respectable than an innocent whirl in dulged in by young men and maidens in the drawing room of a pure, ele vating home. To speaJt in the same (breath of an innocent game of cards with' the gambling devices, whether manipulated by the shuffling of a pack of pasteboards or otherwise, is not only to display ignorance but to parade prejudices. The standard set up by the church In relation to amusements should be a Christion standard, a •standard based on the principles of Christian liberty and Christian mo tives. Turn the young people over from Moses to Christ Let us teach the young that Christianity forbids nothing that will not harm ourselves or others." Austerity and severe suppression of proper and natural impulses never made a religion, a nation or a great man. To guide, direct and modify i^ one thing, to prison and prevent is entirely another. The Y. M. C. A. is successful as a teacher of Christianity and religious life because it has_ learned to supply what the narrowest puritan ism denies. Rev. Stephens is a bold man, but a useful one. He. may not stay long as pastor of the Des Moines church, but lie will have accomplished something beyond a narrow round of postoral calls if he brings about mental agitation and honest thought among his congregation. PAT CR0WF,--EVANGELIST. If the last resort of a knave is patriotism, the last resort of a drunk ard, the. platform as a temperance lec turer, Pat Crowe is taking a logical or at least natural course. However when tvve think of Pat Crowe as an evan gelist urging upon men and women the Christian life, most of us will find an incongruity in the combination that re pulses and sickens. It will be an ex trertiely natural conviction that Pat has quit the business of child abduc tion for a confidence "lay." No doubt he will draw a crowd. He could get a goodly number of curious people into a. tent at ten cents a head to simply look at "the man who stole Cudahy's kid." There are few' of us who •wouldn't walk a block to see a criminal so notorious. But to old fash ioned people his presence in a pulpit smacks of sacrilege. There is "nothing else to it."

"The use of the circle affords the simplest way of voting and saves to the masses of voters the largest meas ure of valid voting .power.

Give us back the circle," pleads the Spirit Lake Beacon. The Waverly Independent says: "If the commission on country life ap pointed by President Roosevelt to In vestigate and report to liim what Is needed to -make country life -more at tractive, will -show us how to make all the roads in Iowa good, so- that they will remain as good,every day in the year a3 they were the past fall when they were at their best, without' in creasing the taxes for road and bridge purposes, then a whole lot of people will rise up and call that commission and the president blessed. .Here is a chance for Uncle Henry Wallace and "Teddy" Roosevelt to help us out of the Wapsie mud and over the Cedar sand hills."

"What has become of the old fash ioned party war horses who used to go to Washington to get a place -as con sul?" asks the Charles City Press. "Iowa, farmers are taking care of their own uplift," says the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald. "Seventy-five per cent of the students at the state uni versity are Iowans, with every county in the state represented, and 750 of the students are the sons of farmers."

The Decorah Republican, would be heartily glad "if there were a process by which a president's message could be condensed into three columns or made as interesting as a serial story, so that all our readers could follow it week after week .with an eagerness that made one feel it paid for publica tion." "What the deuce is an 'incunabula' anyway'"' anxiously inquires the To ledo News. "That's what Editor 7Jaf fan says Roosevelt's letter to Mr. Foulke was." JS The editor of the Carroll Herald, out of the depth of recent experience, has this to say: "The democrats of the next legislature will be in all proba bility present bill providing for a guaranty of bank deposits. We do not see why the measure should not be taken up by the dominant party in the legislature. The Oklahoma, law is es sentially wrong and pernicious. But there ought to be some way to protect people against loss in banks. The pos tal banking system will not reach the danger. Think of it. there is not a per son doing business involving a risk of any kind that is not required to furnish bonds to covcr possible loss. Why, I'nele Sam requires rural car riers to give bonds when the possibility of loss or defalcation is almost noth ing. But a banker, with only a few thousand dollars may. and does, receive hundreds of thousands of the people's money, without ever giving a cent in the way of security. It is not fair, and law making bodies are deaf to a posi tive demand when t.hev ignore this crying need of the people." Newspapers AVOID FILTHY COACHES.

In fact, it sets a premium on lying. For people wilj not be robbed of one-third of their income if lying will save them. It Is almost impossible to borrow local money on mortgages because of the high rate of taxation. Not only is this law unfair in comparison with the tax on other property, but how does it affect the local money in competition with money from a dis tance? Foreign mortgages escape this tax, and so local money must find some way to escape or be driven from the field entirely. All .sorts of sulbterfuges are resorted to, such as holding mortgages from record, taking mortgages in the name of distant friends or relatives, and taking a release back. Thus while we have a law that punishes 'the honest man by taking one-third of his income, the one who is less inclined to stand on technicalities gets out of the tax, and so we have the law, but get very little income from it, and are creating a nation of liars. You will probably ask what Is to be done about the matter? We say frankly that we do not know just how it Should be adjusted, but if we were fishing and caught nothing but suckers and minnows, we would quit fishing. His Shocking Ignorance..

Export and Import Values 'Exports! of agricultural products in 190S were valued at $1,017,000,000 greater than for any preceding year, except 1907, and $37,000,00*0 less than last year, because of decline in values of cotton exports. Imports were $540, 000,000, a reduction of $S7,000,000. During the last twelve^ years the yearly average agricultural balance of international -trade in favor of this country increased from $234,000,000 to $411,000,000 or 76 per cent. Under the head of the department's experiment and other work in 1908, mention is made of a high yielding, early maturing variety of corn which gave 100 bushels per acre in Wiscon sin, under adverse seasonal conditions. Public Roads and Forestry. Under the head of highways, the re port states that freight hauled to rail roads over wagon roads exceeds 250, 000,000 tons a year. With an average cost of 23 cents per ton per mile the resultant sum representing the annual cost of wagon transportation passes the half billion dollar mark. The total cost of 2,151,000 miles of road is given as over $1,720,000,000, while the percentage of improved roads •was only 7.14 in 1904, and is probably pi not in excess of 8 per cent at the pres ent time. Twenty states are reported to have adopted the state aid plan of improv ing roads, either by appropriating money from the state treasuries or by providing skilled supervision or both. The number of national forests is 1S2, with an area of 168,000,000 acres, and a timber value of $800,000,000. They contain one-fifth of -the standing merchantable timber in the country. Statistics of tuberculosis in animals showed: Beef cattle affected, 1 per cent hogs, 2 per cent -dairy cattle, 10 per cent annua-! loss $14,000,000. On this head, the secretary says, tuberculosis can be eradicated from our animals only by means of systematic work of federal and state authorities in co-operation. Agriculture in the Schools. "There are," says the report, "fif teen state agricultural high schools and forty others receiving state aid, 115 state and county normal schools pre paring young people to teach agricult ure, and sixteen privately endowed col leges and over 250 public and private high schools and academies giving in struction in agriculture. Over 2,000,000 people are reported as"-having.attended the farmers' institute meetings during the year." Incidental to the discussion of ex periment stations, and pests that men ace agriculture, Secretary Wilson says: "As a means of spreading typhoid •fever the common house fly is attract ing more attention and an effort is be ing made to arouse public interest in the subject. The tick, the sole agent in the spread of Texas fever, has been studied with a view -to assisting in the campaign of eradication now being waged with good prsopects of ultimate success." For American Sales Abroad. The annual report oif John M. Car son, chief of the bureau of manufac turers, to the secretary of commerce and labor, calls attention to work done for opening foreign markets to the sale of American goods. Pursuant to instructions, consular officers have supplied the bureau with over 100 commercial directories of for eign countries. By this means there is now in Wash ington a "selected commercial directory of the world," available for manufac turers, exporters, and their agents.

Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are certain to follow continued use of improper food. Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and Indigestion. Fortunately many are thoughtful enou^fi to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and 'Effect in their dally food. A N. Y. young woman writes her experience thus: "•Sometime ago had a lot of trou ble from Indigestion, caused by too rich food. I sot so I -was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed useless. "A friend advised me to try Grape Nuts food, praising it highly, and as a last resort, I tried It.

One of the boldest pieces of thievery that litis taken place In .the county in a long time occurred late Saturday night, five miles north of State Center In 'tho French Grovo settlement, when two men stole between for.ty and sixty head of chickens from the Theodore Helmke farm, and then butchered a hog, carrying away the meat. Met With Shotgun Fire. It was not without an element of rlkk, however, that the thieves were successful. Mr. and Mrs. Helmke have been In Texas on a visit, and only ar rived home Sunday morning. Their man, Ben Miller, has been In charge of the farm. Miller was awakened by the noise in the hen house, and im mediately got his shotgun. He could see the forms of the men In the moon light, but because the cattle were just beyond .them he shot high, intending to frighten them. Thieves Return the Fire. Miller emptied both barrels In the 1 direction of the men, and the thieves returned the fire with revolvers. They .then beat a hasty retreat, and with them went the stolen chickens, that they had already got loaded before Miller became aware of their presence. Come Back for Pork. Young chicken was not all the thieves 'were\ looking after, however, according to later developments. Two hours after the shots were exchanged, and after the excitement had subsided, the men, believed to be the same two, returned to the Helmke home, butch ered a young hog, and took all of the animal with them excepting the head. Mr. Helmke said today that there was no clue as to the identity of the thieves. BITTER SWEET CHOCOLATES. Something New and N.ice in Confec tions at Will Miller's.

Former Marshalltown Girl Chosen for Life Sketch by Artist. The Chicago Tribune of Sunday publishes No. 11 of its series of "Types of Beauty in Chicago society," the sub ject of which is Miss Hernia Letts, a native of this city, and daughter of Col. I-\ C. Letts, president of the West ern Grocer company. The, sketch of Miss Letts was made from life by Hugh Stuart Campbell, and in analyzing Miss Letts' type of beauty from an artistic point of view, the artist says: "This embodiment of chic personal ity appears to iconize the tempera mental typo that Helleu would delight to perpetuate. It creates a Parisian at mosphere modified by an air of de mureness and dignity. In studying the aspect of repose that seems only to mantle a spirit of vivacity, tho artist longs to portray the fleeting expres sions which constantly illuminate and shade the mobile features: expressions that typify every mood, with a mood for every instant. The entire personal ity projects a wave of pleasant impres sions." Tomorrow, at her home in Evanston, Mrs. F. C. Letts -will give a luncheon for Miss Delia Crtnover, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Conover. BACK TO MARSHALLTOWN.
