INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
MEMBERS WANT IT'S TERN OF LIFE
EXTENDED.
Statement Presented showing wide
scope Of It's Work and Reasons
for Continuance.

The industrial commission is making an
effort to have its term of service extended
from December H. 1901, to February. 1902
BY law the commission goes out of exist
ence December 10, but It's work mapped out
some time ago is not yet completed and 1t
wants two more months In which TO COM
plete Its report to Congress.
The commission was created by an act Of
Congress Of June IS, 1898, which provided
for term of two years. but this time was
extended to the 18th of next month. A
statement which has been issued by the
commission indicates that the additional
expense OF two more months of its work
VIII not exceed 5000 or Sie.eoo, and 1t is
probable that the balance Of the appropria-
ton OF the commission for general expenses
unexpended December Is will be sufficient
to cover this amount
Work Unfinished.
The commission has already virtually
completed its review OF facts and state
ment of conclusions regarding the subjects
OF transportation, trusts, agriculture. immi-
grafton and mining, and has made consid
cradle progress in the direction of pro-
posed recommendations on these topics.
The difficulty of the problems involved.
however, calls for careful and prolonged de-
liberation. The commission has been una
pie as yet to do more than prepare a pre-
urinary draft for the final report regard
ing the important topics of manufactures
ana general business, labor problems and
taxation To complete the report on these
topics and to draw up recommendations for
needed legislation regarding them will re-

THE WORTH ORA SOUL

Des Moines News: In the discus
sions respecting anarchism which
have followed the death of President
Mckinley, it has been pointed out
that all lawlessness is anarchism.
Lynch law has especially come in for
it's share of the blame.
What is the cause of lawlessness
and lynchings? To a considerable
extent, the laws delays and the un-
certainty of Justice. But, behind all
this is a final cause to be discovered
in public opinion and the influences
that mould it. Men are controlled
by their passions, they commit crimes
in order to right personal wrongs
and then appeal to public sentiment
to sustain them. A wronged husband g,
for instance, takes the law in his own
hands and becomes Judge, jury and
executioner. Public opinion sustains
the jury which, affected by sentiment,
let's the husband go scott free. The
law is violated with impunity. Would
it not be better to make the penalty
for offenses against the home more
severe? If husband or father knows
that the courts will adequately punish,
he may restrain his homioidal pass
Ion.
Yellow journalism, bad literature
and a corrupt stage are also back OF
lawlessness. Vicious cartoons and
editorials inflame public sentiment.
Swashbuckling stories read by youth
cultivate a taste for blood. Stirring
melo. drama kill off men by wholesale.
Whatever tends to cheaper human
life lessons the restraint society has
put about the human passions.
The state, religion and all the forces
of our christian civilization must
redouble their efforts to teach and
maintain higher value of the human
soul. Human life must be put above
all the other things bequeathed to us
by the Creator. Anarchism, lawless-
ness, misdirected passion, these
cheaper both the body and the soul.
The powers set for the overthrow OF
these destructive agencies must
teach the value of and protect both
soul and body.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1901-10-10

The republicans of Mahaska coun-
ty have put an especially good ticket
in the field aud invite the friends of
good government to it's support. From
first to last it is worthy of respect and
confidence. Especial care was ex-
ercised in the choice of nominees for
the various positions to be filled and
only such accepted as would reflect
credit upon the party and the county.
The nominations were not bargained
for, nor are there any private under
standings as to succession in office.
The ticket throughout is wholly free
from suspicion of trades" and COM
binations and mortgages for the fu-
ture. 1t ought to be endorsed at the
polls and it will be If the voters OF the
county are alive to their best inter

prison, Emma Goldman was permit
ted to write the leading editorial, and
she took occasion to assault the good
name of our martyred president and
bemoan the fate that has come to
Assassin Czolgosz. Among other
things the i'll bred degenerate says:
"Why this howl of hired press?
Why such. bloodthirsty and violent
utterances from the clergy? Why the
mad rawlings of the mob, the demand
for rigid laws to curtail freedom of
speech and the press? Now that the
impossible has happened, that even
America has given birth to the man
who struck down the king of the re-
public, they have lost their heads and
are shouting for vengeance upon those
who for years have shown that the
conditions here were beginning to be
alarming and until halt be called
despotism would set it's heavy foot on
the hitherto relatively free limbs of
the people.
"I do not know Czolgosz, but from
his attitude and behavior l feel that
he was a soul in pain, a soul that
could find no abode in this cruel world
of ours, a soul impractical, inexpedi.
ent, lacking in caution (according to
the dictum of the wise), but daring
just the same, and can not help but
bow in reverenced silence before such
a soul"
The paper was promptly denied the
use of the mails by the postmaster of
Chicago, and if the democratic mayor,
Harrison, had the proper respect for
law and order, he would suppress the
vile sheet without any ceremony. By
doing so he would have the moral
support and physical backing OF every
loyal citizen in Chicago and through
out the country.

Lacey at Hedrick: That is one
of the strongest points in the repub-
lican party. 1t has always done it's
duty and trusted to subsequent events
to prove their correctness. 1t has
progressed always. The mill cannot
grind with the water that is past. To
do anything there must be an effort.
Mckinley took the Philippines and
could not let go of them. We were
placed in that position by circum-
stances we could not control. We
could not shake the islands loose if
we would and in due course of time
we probably will not want to do so.
