A PETITION signed by Clement Il.
Smith OF the Seventh ward and a
number OF other citizens, will be
presented to the Legislature by
Senator Knox, asking for the pas.
sage of bill polishing the pillorv
and whipping post. 1t is set forth
that the punishment is barbarous
and tends to render offenders more
lawless instead of better. Our
friend David Ferris holds the prop
er way to reform law breakers is
through love and kindness and not
by harsh measures, He lorgets
that the aim OF the law IS to prevent
the commission OF crime as we'll as
to reform offenders Let men do
right. let them behave themselves.
and they need have no fear Of be-
ing brutalized and hardened by the
post and pillory. We admit that
the reiormationtof law breakers is
an important matter, but the pro-
lection Of society, the security OF
lite, liberty and property is a more
important one, aud not until it can
he shown hat the intllction o. pun
shment NJ axes men steal and COM
nit other crimes, will we be salts
fed that post and pillory should be
abolished. Honest citizens must
protect society aud If any violate
the. law, they must expect to be
punished. If offences multiply in
consequence Of too much leniency
Tor offenders. we need not be sur
prised if Judge Lyncn should take
The place OF our civil courts and
often ders treated 10 something more
to be dreaded than the post and

BIG ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
One 1s Planned to Connect Charles CT
With Des Molnea

One Is Planned to Connect Charles City
With Des MONIES.
Des Moines, March THE new cleo
trio railroad for which company
with $l50,O00 capital was organized a
few days ago in Charles City, seems
to be very ambitious enterprise.
The organization as it is being per.
fected by S. l.. Kern Of Charles City
and George w. Dawson of Waterloo
is only small part of the plans the
company has under consideration.
The new company expects to come
into Des Moines with it's electric
line, and the company, when fully or
ganized, will have backing tha4 will
render it easy to float the bonGs to
carry the gigantic deal to completion.
Messrs. Kern and Dawson, the promo
ters of the scheme, claim to have the
hest of assistance. They are moder-
ately wealthy men themselves and
have promoted a number of big deals
that have been paying investments.
and have the confidence of capitalists:
They number in their present back
ing considerable amount of capital
i'll Des Moines.
The proposed route of the new road
is in jumps of ten to twenty miles
from Charles City to Greene, then
south through Allison, Parkersburg,
Grundy Center, Conrad, MARSHALL
town, Van Cleve or Laurel, and then
to Newton, where the Charles City
line will meet that being proposed by
the Cleveland syndicate in which a
large number of people are interested.
None of the cities named have north
and south lines except Marshalltown.
and the scheme is one of the most
plausible ever brought out in the way
of an electric line. The plan is simply
the operation of series of local
railways. Between each of the towns
mentioned there are number of in
land towns that would welcome
railroad and will pay handsomely to
get it.

Washington, March 4.-Follcwing
close upon the approval of the army
appropriation BILL, containing the
amended Spooner proposition for a
provisional government in the Phil
ippines, the president will issue an
executive order designating General
Macarthur and all the other officials
OF the present military government
as the persons to administer "all mil
itary, civil and judicial powers neces-
sary to govern the Philippines" In
other words, the existing government
will continue under new designa-
ton of authority from the president
until agreements can be made for the
establishment of civil government
and for maintaining and protecting
the inhabitants of said islands in the
free enjoyment of their liberty, prop
.rty and religion" The president will
act in the line indicated simply as q
precaution against possible legal or
international complications. A gem
eral plan of civil government has been
formulated by the secretary of war
and referred to the Philippine COM
mission for it's consideration. 1t will:
be for the president to determine
when and how the new government
shall be inaugurated. 1t seems to be
settled that Judge Taft will be the
first civil governor of the Philippines,
and that General Chaffee will have
command of the military forces.

scHLEY AND sAMPsoN

1t is not a surprise to learn that iAd-
miral Sampson mas been advanced fiva
points while Admiral Schley has been
advanced only three points. Congress
has also been asked to give vote Of
thanks ito Admiral Sampson and the
officers and men under him" for the
battle of Santiago Bay. In the history
Of this country there have been many
instances of favoritism. but in all Of
our history there have been none to
compare with the favoritism shown to
Sampson and the injustice sought to be
put upon Schley. The battle of San
tiago Bay was one of the greatest sea,
fights in the history of the world. Ad-
miral Schley commanded in that bat
tie and long ago the people learned
the truth and accorded to him the title
of Hero of Santiago Bay" 1t is there
fore not material that Sampson.
through administration influence, has
been advanced above Schley. This ad-
vancement may afford temporary gra.
tificat!on to the beneficiary, but it will
not disturb the proud position which
Admiral Schley holds in the affections
of the American people. The injus-
tice done Schley will merely serve to
advance him in the estimation of the
American people-an advancement
which no presidential order and 10 act
of congress can in the least disturb.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY NEAR DENIsoN


Denison, March 2.-Henry Warn, a
farmer living six miles north of Den.
ison, during a fit of insane fury, kill.
ed and cremated his son William,
burned his house, barn, horses, cat
tie, grain and all his farm implements
and $l,500 in cash and then committed
suicide by rushing into the burning
barn and dying among the horses.
The deed was committed about
o'clock yesterday morning, and sew
eral neighbors, seeing the smoke,
rushed to the rescue, only to be driv.
en- back by Warn at the point of a
revolver. Warn then went on with
his awful work, aNd when help did
arrive, it was too late to save either
Warn, his son, or any considerable
amount of the property.
The crime was executed with fiend.
ing cunning. He shot his son and
dragged the body into the barn. The
animals We're securely tied and fas-
tened to prevent their escape from
the flames. The farm waterworks
were dstroyed, and coils of wire
were placed against the hog house
tc prevent them from getting out.
The body of Warn was found in
the barn after the fire had died out,
charred beyond recognition. All the
flesh was burned away, as was the
top of the skull and the limbs.
Warn was well-to-do, and it is said
he had more than $1,5OO in cash in
the house, which undoubtedly was
destroyed. He was man of over SC
and had lived in this county for more
than twenty-five years.
His son, William, of whose body
no trace has been found, was 81 years
of age. Warn also has two daughters,
both of whom are married. His wife
died several years ago. He was of a
morose and surly disposition, and his
neighbors evidently were in fear OF
him. He was a German and spoke
but little English.

Comn1oner Comment.
Extracts From W. J. Bryon's poper.
AN UNAMHR1cAN PUNISHMENT.

AN UNAMERICAN PUNISHMENT.
In response to a senate resolution.
General Macarthur has reported to the
war department, his reasons for de.
porting Editor Rice Of Manila. The
general says that Rice's offense was
the malicious publication of false
charges affecting the integrity Of the
administration of the Office OF fScaptain
Of the port" The report declares that
Rice was told that he must give bon.l
not to republish the offensive charges
or must leave the island. According
to General Macarthur the editor
maintained an attitude of defiance
and was necessarily sent home" The
complete report of this affair will be-
awaited with interest. Deportation is
an unamerican punishment and ought
to have no place in our criminal code.
If Rice was guilty of libel he should
nave been tried for libel. The fact that
ne suffered deportation rather thar
agree not TO repubIsh the charges
would indicate that he believes the
charges to be true. The admiMstra-
ton did not think the jury system
necessary for the protection of Fill
p1no subjects, but arc American citi-
zens to be denied the right Of trial BY
jury when they criticise military or
carpet-bag officials? Even those who
are Indifferent to the denial of justice
to the Filipinos are likely to resent
this arbitrary treatment of an Ameri-
can. Especially should newspapers
protest. for If a free press is not to be
tolerated in the Philippine islands
what can be said in defense Of the
freedom Of the press here?
General Macarthur in his report
gives US another side light on imper-
ialism. 1t would seem that freedom
of~the press has as much difiicuttye de
the constitution in following the flag

BEGGARs BIG AND L1TELE.

The New York Tribune in recent
issue contains this editorial:
Although this is the season of pros
perity, and the number of people out
of employment is comparatively small.
beggars seem to be even more numer-
GUS, persistent and insolent, both ups
town and downtown, than iE former
winters. Cannot the police do more
to keep them within bounds than they
have been doing?"
1t is not difficult to understand why
beggars are persistent and insolent.
but when we are told by the New York
Tribune that they are even more num-
erous than in former winters, the fact
would seem to call for some explana-
ton. In this connection it may not be
out of place to say that if the New
York Tribune was as jealous in its
efforts to keep subsidy beggars within
bounds as it is to curtail the privil-
eges of the common every day beggar,
who will be satisfied with loaf Of
bread, the Tribune would be remem-
bered by a grateful people for other
reasons than that it was once edited
by Horace Greeley.

Whites conference with the German

authority that these conferences are
due to fuller and more definite in
structions just received by Mr.. White
from Washington concerning the
threatened laad-grabbing in China.
Germany agrees fully with the United
States that no secret concessions
should be made by China to any for
elgn power, but that all concessions
should be strictly confined to grants
for diplomatic and ordinary CONNER
cial purposes and above board and
through treaties signed by all the
powers. It is believed in German
official circles that Russia will not
insist upon China's signing a secret
treaty since the other powers have
SO vigorously protested against such
action

In Hands of Money Sharks.

Sioux City, March 2--Not quite
sixteen years ago two brothers,
Henry and Thomas Jenkins, who live
in the southern part of the county,
borrowed $500 through a money len
der, Z. j. Norcross of Onawa. Since
then they declare they have paid
more than $70O upon this original
debt, yet today they are defendants
IN suit arising out of this transac-
ton, in which they are charged with
still owing Norcross $57S and two
years interest, aggregating about
SOTO. If the pleadings of the defend
ants may be believed, that first $500
has grown marvelously in the sixteen
years to grand sum of more than
ST 400
