LOOKER.ON in IOWA

Manning, April 11.-!The public gen
orally takes it for granted that at june
ltion points, one can get off train
and Immediately get on another that
takes the transferring passenger to his
destination, this, of course, referring
to trains on the same line of railroad
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad
must do some fine figuring at Wall
Lake and Carnarvon to make such q
result possible. For instance. the tram
Wall Lake finds another train waiting
to take passengers to Denison, where
they connect with trains east and west
on the main line Again here's another
train to take you TO Carroll to max
connections east and south to Harlan
and Audubon. This same train from
Sioux City and again connects at Car
naryon with passengers from the main
line at Carroll, who wish to go east OF
west Two hours and a half later this
train is at Jewel Junction. Here they
pick up passengers from the north, and
unload on a waiting train passengers
for Ames and Des Moines. And in three
hours more this train is at Tama con-
Meeting again with trains for the east
1t takes good work to make such an
arrangement possible, and when one
stops and thinks this is not only the
arrangement for this one train, but all
passenger trains east and west mus
connect at junction points a Chinese
puzzle is small in comparison.

THE SHERIFF AND THE SUNDAY LAW

The manly, logical and straight-for-
ward statement by Sheriff Henry. pub
lished herewith, of his views and in
tentsons concerning the Sunday law, is
one which will bring to his support
large number of people who have not
heretofore understood just what was
intended by him, nor what to expect.
(. bfr. Henry announces clearly and
distinctly that the guiding stars in MS
Interpretation of the law are;
FIRST, REST FOR THE LABoRER.
SECOND, PEACE AND QUIET FOR
THE COMMUNITY.
THIRD. ALL THE RECREATION
THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
FIRST TWO.
This is a platform on which radicals
and conservatives can join hands, and
which will be opposed only by those
who want the strict theological Sabbath
of a hundred years ago and those who
want no Sunday law at all.
There is no question but that the !
prohibition of unnecessary work is a !
bulwark for the protection of the labor
ing man, and that orderly peace and
quiet in their homes and in the vicinity
of their homes, is what the citizens OF /
Honolulu want and are entitled to.
The keeping open of stores and otner
places of business, which was becon-
ing almost universal in the Asiatie
section of the town, has been brought
TO an abrupt end. Is there any respon-
sible person who will honestly claim
that this is unjust to any one. or dis
to the community?
There are many cases in which, as
Sheriff Henry says. there will be differ
ences of opinion. but the Sheriff has
shown himself to be possessed of good
American horse sense. and, while hav-
ing the courage of his convictions. to
be open to reason.
The Advertiser believes that Mr..
Henry's statement will clear the at
mosphere and crystalline public senti-
ment into that support which he asks.

DEFECTIVE CRIMINAL STATISTICS.

| Eugene Smith of New York IS
credited in The Outlook with having
shown the utter groundlessness of the
| assumption frequently repeated by
pessimistic newspapers that crime is
on the increase in the United States
the dernonstra ton having been made
..in an able and elaborate paper on
this subject before the National Prison
Congress at Quincy. Illinois The
fact on which Mr.. Smith relies is that
there are no statistics whatever avail
able for the country as a whole upon
which such an assumption can be
based. He points out that the United
States census confines itself to an
enumeration of the prison population
on certain day once in ten years, |
then gives a list of various local cir
cumstances that are always liable to
affect police results adversely in differ
ent places. An enumeration of the
prison population. to be of any value,
must be made every day for whole
year. 1t must embrace not only those
who are in prison, but those
who are on probation and on parole.
Even then there would be criminals at
arge left out of the count. The Out
ook concludes its review of the matter
With these observations:
1.-THE fact that our statistics are
worthless to prove that crime is in (
reasing renders it equally impossible
o prove by statistics that crime is
decreasing The determination of this I
act, Mr.. Smith declares, cannot be
Wholly mathematical; there are other :

TO SAVE THE APPLE.

California through a discovery made
in Spain by George Compere, State
horticultural Commissioner, has OBJ
tanned an antidote to the Goblin moth.
This pest is the source of the false
heartedness of apples. 1t causes an
annual loss of many million dollars by
inf1icting upon the farmers of the land
had apples in large percentage of the
total crops. Nothing that has yet been
tried has prevailed against the moth.
Even spraying with insecticides has
awaited little.
Mr.. Conapere has brought home from
Spain the eggs of a parasite that he
believes will get away with the Goblin
moth He saw in that country or
in vigorous bearing. The Goblin moth
existed in these orchards but the para
site was there, too, and so vigorous
and effective that, although it was
proved that the Goblin moth had been
there for thirty years, the farmers We're
surprised to find that it actually existed
in their orchards. This is taken to be
satisfactory proof of the efficiency
of the parasite.
AS a large proportion of the apples
Imported to Honolulu prove in the eat
ing TO be black-hearted frauds, the
news of Mr.. Compere's discovery of an
antfdote to the pest has considerable
local interest.
