JUST SUPPOSE,

just suppose that the conditions
had been reversed.
Just suppose that a colored man
had stepped out into the main bust
ness street of Ottumwa early in the
evening, and had, with reckless disre-
gard of life, fired a bullet at fleeing
saloonkeeper.
Just suppose that this bullet had
come so near to inflicting a serious
wound on an innocent stranger as to
put a hole thru his clothing.
What do you suppose the police of
Ottumwa would have done with that
colored man? =
Do you suppose, they would have
permitted him to do still more shoot
Ing, and go along without interference
or arrest for over thirty-six hours?
Only few weeks ago an inoffensive
colored man, guilty of no known crime
whatever, was shot at several times
by an Ottumwa policeman, because he
did not halt promptly when com.
manded to do so by said policeman.
Here then seems to be the differ.
ence between a colored mans rights
and salonokoeper's rights in the
city of Ottumwa.
Had the fleeing colored man done
what the belligerent saloonkeeper
did, there would have been an imme.
date arrest, great display Of force
and authority and it is more than
probable that in certain quarters there
would even have been talk of lynch
ing.
This is what wide open" city ad.

Indignation at existing conditions.

Ft. Dodge, Jan. 10.-J. H. Deming,
a large property owner in this city,

the result of an investigation made by
the tax adjusters in Webster county,
who discovered large amount of

years past. Deming did not resist the

If it be true that the young Kansas
City woman, who shot and killed her
legal husband on Thursday last, had
been betrayed and then practically
deserted by this man, then she should
not be convicted of murder. Killing
should be legally authorized in such
cases. The man who betrays and de-
serts girl, commits a crime worse
than murder and the law renders no
adequate PREPARATION for the offense.
Under such provocation death is
too slight a punishment for the Grim
inal, and if it is shown upon the trial
of the case that the woman who fired
the fatal shot had been thus wronged
by the man whom she killed, then
there should be no conviction.
