AS anarchists and criminals them
selves the ground that the courts
should be reorganized and legal proceed
ure hurried to immediate conclusion at
the behest of the lynchers is not we'll
taken There are many opportunities
for reform and Improvement in our
criminal courts. Perhaps we have too
much criminal law. but there is more
danger in changes MADE to conform
with the ideas and desires of the mob
than in the minor delays and technical
tiles which are sometimes the means
to a miscarriage of justice and defeat
of law. There should be no trucking
to the mob. 1t has no rights of demand
upon the law. Durbin and Whitlock
have found better plan. There should
be no change in the steady movement
of the courts as tribute TO the mob.

NELSON A. MILES.

When General Miles, who passed thru
"a. r. encampment at San Francesca
swings thru the far west In MS palace
car he will have much TO remember ana
congratulate himself upon. even tho ms
age Sunday forced his abdicatlon as
lieutenant general of the United States
armies. 1t was in the west that Niles
csrrted out the promise Of his civil war
career and when 1t is remembered that
he entered the army rs volunteer
lieutenant, became a major general In
four wears and left the volunteer army
with the grade of a corps commander
the military talent and conspicuous
services of the retired general will APP
near to Justify his succession to the
title once held by the most illustrious
soldier of his time.
AS Miles travels at a forty-mile rate
across the prairies sown with nome
steads and girdled by peace he can look
TO the south. remembering how as
colonel of regulars he fought and con-
uuered the Comanches OF the Stakea
Plains nearly thirty years ago ana 10
the north where he harried Sitting BuH
9nd his Sioux across the Canadian
frontier He will recall the punhc
thanks of Kansas. New Mexico and
Montana presented thru their legisla-
tures for effective and daring services
against the Indians. and Arizona Will
bring back the surrender of Geronimo
and the sword of honor given by
grateful state to his conqueror. Tho
his retirement may seem to him ike OF
fetal death, Miles may find much on his
western trip to drive away vain re-
gret.
Despite his vanity and the presiden-
a;al bee whose buzzing confused and
blinded him to his own detriment ana
downfall General Miles has been great
soldier and his services 70 his country
should not be forgotten. There has been
TO question of his ability or patriotism.
Compared with the greatest of our MIL
itary men, Miles must accept a second
airy position. He was not military
sarvel like Grant or Sherman, but
splendid soldier nevertheless, who won
his spurs and deserved them.
There has been meddiesome faculty
about Miles which has detracted from
hi. popularity. He could not resist
riaying politics. His rise had been SO
rapid and his success so complete that
he felr the presidency within his reach.
Miles never discounted his own deserts.
He lacked the modesty of the soldier in
politics and paid the price of assump-
4ion. the bitterness of disappointment
and the loss of public liking. Perhaps
all this is what led him into meddle
some situations whence he emerged
with loss of credit and public conf
dence.

OLD HOME WEEK.

The eastern states have taken up the
beautiful custom of designating one
week in the year "old home week. the
seven days of which are largely devoted
ia the reception and entertainment of
such friends and relatives as have gone
from the eastern neighborhoods, where
the custom obtains. to make new homes
in a far country. 1t is week of re-
unions for sundered families and old
friends and piaymates. The wanderers
time their visits back home" to the
week selected to accord with common
convenience and the homekeepers lay
plans for the entertainment of their
guests-the homecomers. The custom
has grown of its own strength to be-
come an institution in many eastern To-
calities. Illinois is now taking up the
idea and in view of the strong emigra-
ton from this state within the past ten
years an "old home week" might profit
ably and pleasantly be inaugurated In
the earlier settled counties of Iowa.
The "old home week" might very
properly and conveniently be combined
with that of the old settlers reunion.
Most of those who have moved into
other states from Iowa are the sons and
daughters of the pioneers. Neighbor-
hood and family reunions might be held
during the week to eliminate in a
grand gathering on old settlers day.
There should be badges for the visitors,
Il place and hour appointed for their
own particular meeting on the old set
tiers grounds. and committees should
auaintances and schoolDlates together.
There can be no doubt that an old
old settlers meeting would bring to-
gether hundreds of old-!ime residents
TO see and be seen. 1t would furnish
a central meeting point for Tom, Dick
and Harry and their wives from a half
dozen different, states. The family in the
Dakotas word come as much TO meet
the brothers and sisters and old neigh
nors from Kansas and Nebraska
as to visit the old home. Even
those without home ties remaining
would come again to see the old ia
miliar faces OF their earlier days.
The Inauguration of an old home day
in connection with old settlers day is
worth the consideration of the old set
tiers. Let them talk 1t over at their
coming reunion and the capabilities and
prospects of such an addition to the in
terest of their annual gathering will be
likely TO result in some definite action.
The custom is beautiful one and Is
growing wherever ii has been given an
opportunity to take root. Let's try 1t.

NO TRIBUTE TO THE MOB.

President Roosevelt In his letter to
Governor Durbin. of Indiana, commend
atory of the Indiana governors stand
against lynch law appears to favor the
popular theory that the laws delay Is
largely responsible for lynchings. While
most readers of the presidents letter
will agree with his expressed senti-
ments on the necessity of swift legal
punishment for rapists and murderers
few will recall instances where the law
has dragged seriously in the case of a
negro rapist. In cases where white
man has been the offender 1t Is true
that justice is often retarded by skill
full defense and sometimes defeated by
a technicality. but there are few in
stances that lend themselves readily to
the mind where cond.gn punishment
has not followed legal prosecution of
the black man. The saying that "a mig
ger has no friends" holds good in le-
gal prosecutions as in ordinary affairs.
President Roosevelt, usually right,
seems to have fallen into a common err
ror in this instance. If there are delays
In the law that favor actual criminals
tt should be remembered that the posi-
hility of delay, the calm, careful and
judicial investigation of guilt Is the
greatest safeguard of the innocent who
are accused unjustly. To hurry the ac-
zion of the law gives oppression Its OPP
portunity and endangers the innocent.
Public opinion Is tickle and as often
wrong as 1t is right II jumps to con-
clusions. 1t RACES for the immediate
punishment of the prisoner 1t has pre-
judged guilty as fercely as for that of
the proven criminal. The slow process
of legal procedure Is eXasperating and
its technicalities afford lcopholes of es-
cape to crime, but they are after all the
bulwarks Of complete justice. 1t is bet
ter to accomplish justice at a foot pace
than to gailop into possible error.
Wealth will never fail to put up an
effective legal defense of its innocence.
1t is the ordinary person accused of
crime that the steady. unhurried in
quiry of the courts defends against
mistaken conviction.
It is the uncontrolled defiance of the
laws requirement of careful investiga-
ton of guilt or innocence rather than
fear of its failure to do justice that
brings the members Of a mob together
to slay and torture. The mob refuses
to wait. 1t demands vengeance more
than justice 1t makes reprisal and
not reform It's prime object. 1t forgets
all but the crime committed and the in

JUSTICE AND THE MULCT LAW
TMuScatine Journal

MuScallIle JOuIIldi.J
The Iowa avenue saloon keepers who
shut up shop Friday rather than fight
an action asking that they be re-
strained from conducting saloon
within an unlawful distance of a
church did a sensible thing. While
the proprietors of each of these places
were doing business each knew the
provisions of the mulct law and knew
it contained a clause which might
shut up their places of business at any
time Saloons are allowed to exist in
Iowa subject to the statutes expressly
made for their conduct. One OF its
sections prohibits a liquor store with
in a specified distance of place of
public worship. The result of the pres
ent cases is simply the enforcement
OF statutory law. These are the plain
facts. Whether saloon conducted a
few feet beyond the line established by
the Martin mulct measure would
do more harm than one the same dis
lance within the same area admits of
but little controversy. But, crowdins
the issues little, If a saloon was
backed up against church ana
whisky was dispensed on the right
hand and Christianity measured out
on the left 1t would not be an edifying
spectacle and could not be tolerated.
This provision of the mulct law is q
wise one and the plaintiff is as clearly
within his rights as he would be in any
other legal action where the law is
with him.
