The saloons are responsible for

at Sioux City.
sioux City is republican strong
hold.
Its Mayor and its City government
is republican throughout.
The saloons OF Sioux City were
licensed to run in opposition to the
State law, by the Republican Mayor
and Aldermen OF the city.
The saloons OF Sioux City were
Republican institutions licensed and
authorized by Republican officials
and winked at by the Republican
press Of the place, and Of the party
in Iowa, hence the Republican party
OF iowa was accessory to the murder
OF Rev. G. C. Haddock, and should
be held criminally liable for the
crime.

"The Greatest Criminals"

THE old time theory that igno.
rance and crime are Siamese twins
has been exploded by the recent
criminal history OF the country. The
greatest criminals Of the age do not
come from the ranks Of poverty,
nor are they classed among those
who frequent the grog shops. The
Tweeds and the Fishes and the
Wards moved in the upper circles OF
society. The owners OF Credit Mo-
bilier stock were men Of national
reputation. The bribetakers in New
York and In Chicago and In St.
Louis are not the inhabitants of
dens OF squalor. They are men who
live in mansions and drive carriages
and stick their legs under mahogany
tables when feasting. The thieves
do not all live In ragged homes, nor
do all OF them get their education in
the saloon. Whiskey and poverty
are responsible for good many
crimes, but not more 50 than that
false and pernicious doctrine which
allows mans social position to
shield him from punishment and to
gild his rascality with responsibility.
The laxity which prevails in lhe ad-
minisrratien OF law is more fruit
full source OF crime than rum and
poverty combined.-St' Paul Globe.
