EDITOR JOURNAL.

Since our arrival from the east
we have been swinging around the
circle, but have finally Ian nled for
stay of some weeks in st. John,
Missouri. This Is the native state
of many Of my good friends OF
Monte Vista and vicinity, rs well
rs many of the writer's personal
relatives. We had splendid
visit at my brothers home IN
Gladbrook, Iowa; but all things
earthly. pleasant ~ well III un.
pleasant, must have an end. So.
on account of railroad connections,
the most pleasant visit had to end
Mt the outlandish hour OF l2:45
O'Clock n. m. which WAS the only
train that would meet connections
southwark at Cedar Rapids, where
we had to wait 4 long hours. In
the spring of 'G5 the writer first
visited Cedar Rapids, then il was
n little dirty village of only few
hundred inhabitants, but one train
of two coaches per day. In the
spring of G5, there were only two
short lines of railroad in the great
state of Iowa. Now the state il SO
full of railroads running in every
direction that one cannot get Is
miles away from one. Cedar
Rapids today, is cne of the large
cities of the state, with splendi,lly
paved streets. motor street cars.
electric lights and all the improve
ments of the modern cities of to-
day. Although the writer, 90
years ago, was well acquainted
with the place and it's surround.
ings, yet when he arrived on that
early morning train, he felt he
wns a stranger in strange city,
that he knew nobody and nobody
knew or cared for him. only so far
as they could get money out Of
mm. Bn, "money makes the mare
trot. and AZ long rs that lasts one
is never in the want OF friends.

speed away she went toward the
southland, and kept on going un.
I'll the old state OF Missouri Was
reached. As We stepped on to the
platform We were met by my
youngest brother with teams TO
convey us tn his luxurious home
10 miles across the country. That
was a glorious ride, with a sumpt.
uous dinner at the end Of il, and
the meeting OF relatives once more
III this life. a stay with friends
here Of about three weeks In ex.
pec'ed. when the face will be
turned norihwnrd again. After
attending To some bnsiness in
Iowa, We inshd to turn facewsrd
To Colorado, hoping TO reach
Monte Vista about the second
week in September. At Autumwm
Iowa. enrouie for this place. a
most furious thunder and rain
storm WAS met The down. pour
WIS very great for many miles.
The thunder. lightning and wind
were fearful, coming near prosluc.
ing panic among the passengers.
But finally the sunny side Of the
storm WAS reached, and when the
home Of our relatives Was reached

Though five white women were
brutally assaulted by white men last
Saturday in Kansas City, and one
8-year-old girl fatally raped by a
white fend, not one lynching nor
burning at the stake Of the white
iends incarnate thus far has been
reported from that locality. Had
those crimes been committed by
black men, being burned alive would
have been their portion and such
would have met public approval ali
over the country, but, being white
men, the law can take its course.
Who will now deny the fact that the
Nervousness Of crime committed in
the United States depends solely
on the color of the skin of the brute
committing the crime, instead Of the
actual crimes

Mayor Harrison, Of Chicago, has
issued statement to the effect that
crime is not as prevalent in Chicago
at present as in years past. Chief
of Police Meredith, Of Seattle, a
Mayor Humes political stool-pigeon,
has made a similar declaration about
crime in Seattle, all Of which sounds
nice to outsiders, but persons living
either in Chicago or Seattle know
better, and those living in Seattle
know further that the city admins
tration is only trying to throw sand
in the citizens eyes (mind) that the
police can continue in the lucrative
"go-between" business.

Sheriff-elect Cudahy worked as a
detective for this city for a number
of years, on a salary Of $50 a month,
and when he was candidate for cleo

$4,000 of his own money in the
campaign. Just how Ed. cultivated
$50 month so as to be able to live
on it all the time, have $4,000 to
spend in the campaign and still have
money to burn after the campaign
was over is what we would like to
hear Sheriff-elect Cudahy explain.

North Yakima has the credit Of
being one of the busiest and most
