Council Bluffs visited the National Corn
exposition In Omaha Monday afternoon and
Tuesday afternoon Omaha repaid the com
pliment by vlsitinr the National Horticul
tural congress In Council Bluffs.
The pleasure of Omaha's visit was some
what marred ' by an accident on the trip
across tho Big Muddy. The leading car of
the ten special motors carrying the Omaha
High school cadets, members of the Com
mercial club and other cltisens of the city
across the river. Jumped the track at the
east end of the bridge and caused a delay
of nearly an hour.
Tho sixty or more automobiles which had
preceded the street cara stopped at the
Northwestern tracks ta wait for the belated
I street car contingent, but when word was
! received that It would probably be an hour
or possibly longer before traffic on the
street car line would be resumed, the autos
pulled out for the auditorium, where the
officers of the National Horticultural con
gress and the members of . the Council
Bluffs Commercial club were anxiously If
not Impatiently awaiting their expected
guests.
On reaching the auditorium the guests
from across the river who made the trip
by automobile were shown through the
beautiful fruit exhibition, of which they
were loud In their praises.
There weie no formal exercises beyond
a brief welcome from President J. P. Hess
rf the congress, which was responded to
by Howard II. Baldrige on behalf of the
visitors from Omaha.
Mr. Baldrige said, In parti
I-adles and gentlemen, I have been
selected to express the appreciation of the
city of Omaha to the city of Council Bluffs
for the Invitation you have given us to
come here tonay.
We come here with our hearts filled
with amity and (food fellowship for the
people of Council Bluffs., That feeling Is
bubbling up, efferceslng aud . overflowing
In our hearts, so that it has come serosa
the Missouri river, tne artificial boundary
that separates there two great cities.
Surely no one con view this beautiful ex
position, and the exhibits therein con
tained, without feeling a spirit of pride
that we live In this great central west. It
is a feeling that we live here in tnese two
great states of Nebraska and Iowa, and
live In the very best part of the very best
country In all the world. And we who
live here now, live nt the very best time
In all its hlBtory. These two great states
in this srreat central west are like two
j:reat pillars In this political country, up
holding this great part of an architecture
slnntlng to the two great oceans on the
east and on the west. When we consider
what the people who live now and have
lived here have done to reclaim this coun
try, when we consider what It is today
and Its magnificent prosoects fcr the
future, we each one should have a spirit
of pride that we are alive now and that
I am sure' that' this great agricultural
country Is the very haek-tvne of our na
tion, of tu tlO.OiW.OiW.Oi'iO.ooo i his country
has produced in products during the past
year, three-fourth of It has been agri
cultural products, .md we are now In the
heart of a great agricultural country. We
awake this world f'rm Its savage letnargv.
We transform Its bmren waste Into fruit
ful field and gardens of beauty. We have
tickled It with the plav, and It has laughed
unto us with the harvest.
Walt for Cadets.

Bluffs public schools had gathered In

a cordial welcome on their somewhat be
lated arrival, and after forming along
Washington avenue, on the north side of
the Auditorium, were Invited to visit the
fruit show.
The attendance at the fruit show last
evening was moat gratifying to the man
agement and evidenced the fact that the
people of Council Bluffs are beginning
to realise that the show Is worth swell, g.
The concerts by Covalt's band are prov
ing a popular feature of the show and
were enjoyed by the big crowd laat even
ing. For the accommodation of the

on a new life. You have built here better
than you knew. I am considered a Judge
of apples and fruit, and I will Sh- that
there has never been a meeting which has
such wonderful object lessons to show its
this meeting in Council Bluffs. It Is the
beginning of great things for your city
and for the country. Council Bluffs made
the start and has nurtured the organiza
tion through Its Infancy. It should be hers
again.

retary of the Utah State Board of Hor
ticulture, made a short address In which he
paid a sincere compliment to the manage
ment of the congress. He said that lie had
been in charge of tho Utah exhibit at na

that he had attended. "You should be
proud of what you have done here," said
Mr. Taylor. "You have accomplished a
great deal and you have been fair with

Malct Law Letts 1.
Prohibition Interests received a setback
at the hands of the supreme court in Its
decision that the state has a right to
amend and jnodlfy the prohibition statute
by fixing a license. The charge that tho
"mulct law" Is unconstitutional and
Illegal because In conflibt with the pro
hibition statute wbb ma'le in the case
of J. H. Campbell against Jackinan
brothers In Blackhawk county, wherein
an effort was made to enjoin the de
fendants from operating a saloon. The
petitioners claimed the state had r.o
right, In face of the prohibition statute.
to provide for a license. The supreme j
court held directly opposite to them, Buy
ing that If the state has the discretion
to enact a prohibitory law. It surely has
a right to modify It by providing for a
license. The mulct tax. It held. Is neither
unconstitutional nor void.
This decision will probably be takon a
basis for argument before the coming
legislature by those who favor providing
for local option laws.
Sniride Was Paroled Convict.
It developed today that Charles Thomas
who committed suicide here yesterday by
shooting himself In the breast, was a
paroled convict. Ho was convicted In
Muscatine of assault with Intent to do
great bodily Injury and sentenced to five
years. This was in 19(6. He was paroled
December 19, 1907, and has been making
regular reports to the State Board of Con
trol since.
Dairy Commissioner Resigns.
It was reported this afternoon that Slate
Dairy and Food Commissioner it. tt.
Wright will tender his resignation. This j
will probably not become eneciive ueiuio
the first of the year and the new governor,
B. F. Carroll, will appoint his successor.
Jio State Flagr for Iowa.
The fact that Iowa has no state flag will
be called t6 the attention of tne legis
lature. Governor Qarst has received a re-
Quest from Charles Denby. Tilted States
consul at Shanghai, China, for a state flag
and also a copy of the coat of arms on
canvas, to be presented to the American
company of the Shanghai Volunteer corps
to be used on ceremonial occasions. The
Company Is composed of slxly Americans
and they are supplied with rifles and am
munition from Washington. But Iowa has
no state flag and there la no way the state
officers can have prepared the facsimile
of the atate coat of arma. It is proposed
that the legislature lock Into tne mauer
and have a commission select a state flag
and also a new design for a state seal.
The state seal now used Is declared to
be Inartistic and out of date.
Oa Jary Service.
Of more than ordinary Interest was the
decision of the supreme court, handed
down yesterday, respecting the propriety
of an election Judge sitting as a grand
Juror In district court.
As Is generally known, the law pro
hibits the serving on the grand ,-ury by
any man who requested to be made a I
member of that body or have his nme j
reported as a Judge. In AlUmikee
county W. C. Anderson, who was in
dicted, asked that the indictment be
quashed because one of the grand jurors
had been an election judge and bl evi
dently sent in his own name for Jury
service. The lower court refused to
quash the Indictment and he appealed.
Now the supreme court sustains the
lower court, saying that as there are
several election judges In each precinct,
the fact that one name Is sent In does
not signify that the Judge hlmaalf asked
that it be sent. It might be Included
by the other two Judges sgalnst his pro
test The court holds thst were the
names of all three Judges returned then
It would appear they had sought the
