IOWA S STATE NEWS.
IN CONSTANT FEAR.
Brutal Wife Murderer In Sioux city
Threatened with Lynching IL
In Nervous Condition.

For the first time in many years
there has been talk of lynching and
mob violence on the street in Sioux
City. The coroner's jury found Ben
Mcknight guilty of murder in the first
degree, and charges were at once made
against him in justice court. The ply
sicians reported evidences of shocking
brutality on the body of Mrs. Nc
knight, and when the news of the
many years of abuse that the faithful
wife had borne was circulated the
wrath OF the people was stirred and
talk OF lynching was open. People said
II some one would lead they would fol-
low, and while no demonstrations were
made the sheriff's force was on the
alert all day. for any attempt to get
Mcknight from his cell.
Mcknight was sneaked UP through
the back stairs and taken before the
court. He was charged with murder
in the first degree, the information
being signed by a son of Mrs. Mcknight
by former husband. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty, and was quickly
taken back to his cell. Heis very nerv-
BUS and is in constant fear of meeting
his death. He PAGES the cell all day
and when anyone approaches covers
his face with dirty handkerchief, He
says nothing in his own defense. He
has no case, and though he has good
legal talent he will be lucky if he es-
capes with anything less than 90 years.

Anti-lmperjalism

The Anti-Imperialist League issued
an address to the people OF the coun-
try on the 4th of July. Among other
things the address contains the fol-
lowing:
"Let us not be misled by names.
Imperialism is not a question of
crowns and sceptres, of names and
titles. 1t is system of government.
Where man or body OF men, an en-
peror, president, congress, or ma
ton, claims the absolute right to rule
a people, to compel the submission of
that people by brute force, to decide
what rights they shall have, what
taxes they shall pay, what judges shall
administer their laws, what'men shall
govern them,-all without response
bility to the people thus governed
this is Imperialism. the antithesis OF
free government. AS Mr.. Justice
Harlan says: "The idea that this
country may acquire territories any
where upon the earth, by conquest or
treaty, and hold them as mere colonies
or provinces, and the people inhabi-
ting them to enjoy only such rights
as congress accords them, is wholly
inconsistent with the spirit and gen
ius as with the words of the eonsti
tuition I"
