a DENIAL OF SIMPLE JUSTICE.

II the south expects and desires the
country at large to accept It's claim that
the negro question belongs to the south
and can be best settled there 1t is un-
fortunate that the defendants In the
Alabama peonage case failed of conVic-
ton by what the presiding judge
termed a miscarriage of justice. 1t will
be hard to convince the public that the
proper arbiters of the negroes future
are to be found among those whose
code of simple justice is suhservient to
political ends and warped to meet ra-
cial prejudice.
The Montgomery county case was
proved to the satisfaction of the judge,
himself a democrat. but sincere Jur-
list. 1t was proved also TO the estab-
lishment of public BELIEF in the guilt of
the accused. 1t remained for southern
Jury to destroy, because of color, the
efficiency of law made to protect the
rights OF American citizens, white or
black.
It's verdict has accomplishment than
the mere denial of an honest trial of
negro's suit at law. 1t is destructive
o. such confidence as had been accorded
the south by the north, and has given
an added impetus to the growing belief
In the insincerity of those southerners
who profess friendship 20 the Industrial
citizenship of the blacks and strength

will gladly accord the southern states
the privilege of settling the political
status Of the negro if honor and jus
tice are TO be permitted precedence in
that settlement. Studied appeals to
race prejudice and the prostitution of
courts and juries to the cnslavement OF
n race constitutionally free and en-
dowed with citizenship are not likely
to make for forbearance and confidence.
II the south is in earnest in its procla-
NATION of a desire for the betterment
and industrial elevation of the negroes
1t will do we'll to protect them in its
courts from the cruel bondage of its

THE SINGLE TAX COLONY.

An article by Ernest B. CASTOR In the
independent deals with the experiment
tai single tax colony at Fairhope, Ala
bama. Mr.. CASTOR describes. this colo
nv as being complete success. In
deed, its extreme prosperity has prac-
tically destroyed the demand for sur
rounding farms and If Mr.. CASTOR is to
be taken authoritatively cheapened the
value of neighboring farms outside the
colony sc per cent.
The single tax colony was inaugu-
rated eight years ago with five fami-
lies and 900 worth of land purchased
by these families. 1t now numbers
seventy-five families, has 1,400 acres
and options on $500 acres more. Its
principles OF ownership are based up
on the assumption that land, water and
air are inherently the property of the
people and that land should not be sub
united to individual ownership, the the
pry made familiar by Henry George. This
theory carries with it the belief that
land, water and air belong to all peo-
pile, and so the tax on land values is
really a rental paid by the individual
to the state.

by common effort go to al! the citizens;
no one can impose a burden on another

In spite of pessimistic prognostica-

THE STATE MARsHALs LAW


Sac SUM-
The Cedar Rapids Republican, refer
ring to the plan proposed by A. c. RAN
kin. the moulder orator, for state mar
shals to enforce the liquor laws of the
state says that when he talks about a
state constabulary he talks nonsense
Iowa will not stand for anything eX-
cept home government" According to
the logic of the Republican. the people
of Iowa demand the immediate abolish
ment of the pharmacy commission, the
dairy commissioners, the mine inspect
ors, the state board of health, the state
oil inspectors, the state inspectors OF
boats, the state veterinary medical eX-
aminers, the state dental examiners.
the state superintendent of weights and
measures, the state fish and game ward
ems, and the like, inasmuch as they will
not stand for anything but home gov
eminent The proper enforcement OF
the liquor laws of the state is vastly
more important than the work ac-
complished by all of the commissions
above named and the enforcement OF
those laws is far more generally ne
elected than, without state aid, would
be the enforcement of the laws Tor
which commissions already have been
established. The appointment OF a
half dozen state marshals to do in the
name of the state such work as the
superintendent of the state anti-saloon
league are now doing by the support
of private money is what Mr.. Rankin
and the growing membership of the
state marshal clubs are demanding
There is no reason except fear of the
liquor power, again strongly entrenched
in the cities and many of the towns
of our state, why the legislation de-
manded should not be granted. The
state marshals would enforce so-called
regulation in mulct-saloon communities
as we'll as prohibition in communities
that want to be free of the Ubiquitous
traffic. There is no good reason why
every honest citizen should not want
this done.

EMMETT CoUNTY'S INCREASE.
IArmstrong Republican.l

A comparison of the per cent of in
crease in population OF Emmett and
peighboring counties is quite interest
ing. The population of Emmett county
in 1860 was 185, thirty years later, in
1890. the population had increased to
4,274; in the next ten years the popula-
ton of this county more than doubled,
being in 1900 according to the census,
1886, an increase Of 1925 per cent in
ten years, making in fact the greatest
per cent of increase Of any county in
the state for the period from 1880 to
1900. In the past three years Emmett
county has had added to her popula-
ton at least 1000 by reason of building
of new railroads and the establishment
of the following new towns: Ring
sted, Halfa, Gridley, Dolliver, Hunting
ton, Maple HILL Gruver and Raleigh,
while the older towns, Estherville, Arm
strong and Wallingford have been en-
joying good healthy growth. A drive
thru the county will convince any OBJ
server that the county is being rapidly
settled up as evidenced by the numer-
Gus hew houses and barns built on
tracts of land previously without i'm
provements. No other county in Iowa
can show the per cent of increase In
population that Emmett can. Dickin-
son has had good growth. but the per
cent Of increase in population in that
county for the period from 1890 to 1900
was SAT- per cent, difference of nearly
so per cent in Emmet's favor. The
percentage of increase in Kossuth for
the same period was 1872, difference of
1913 per cent in favor of Emmett. Palo
Alto county had an increase in popula-
ton for the same period of "a per cent.
a difference again in favor of Emmett OF
1876 per cent. OF course there has been
steady growth in the population in all
these counties, but the per cent of In
crease is small when compared with
that of Emmett.
