A BLOW TO Boo1LEeGERs.

Senator Gallinger has introduced an
excellent bill in congress, the terms OF
which prohibit the issue of a gov
eminent license" to sell intoxicants to
any applicant who is unable to show
such a license or permit as may be re-
quired by the laws of the state IN
which the petitioner proposes to tram
sact business. The bill is the result
Of demand and is aimed at bootleg
gers and other illicit liquor sellers in
states where prohibitory laws or res
trictions exist that in communities
amount to at least partial prohibition.
The bill will be favored by every
citizen who wishes to see the business
Of surreptitious liquor selling suppress
who disbelieve in prohibition from
principle or from expediency, but who
favor reasonable enforcement of law.
Government licenses" are cheap, and
the penalty inflicted for violation of in
ternal revenue restrictions by the gov
eminent are severe and reasonably
certain. The price of a government
license" to sell liquor at retail is $25.
The bootlegger naturally pays it. 1t
1t too cheap to go without. The "hop
ale" Joint is never without it's internal
revenue tax receipt. Certain hotels in
dry towns might be named where
search would unearth the governments
sanction to sell liquors at retail. One
hotel just outside of Iowa, it is quietly
stated, pays for two government licen-
young men retail beer at % cents per
bottle to the bibulous of the hotels
clientele only. The thirsty guest stays
over Sunday and comforts himself
with fagons alike to the profit of the
proprietor who pays for the license,
and the tbeH hop who sells the beer.
and assisted Certainly it is not the
business of the national government to
enforce state laws. Neither is it its
business to wink at such infractions or
make them easier, and it is plainly
within the duty of congress to lend it's
countenance to better enforcement OF
state laws and the denial of privileges
under the revenue laws which may en-
able lawless and irresponsible traf-
fckers in intoxicants to evade local
restrictions. 1t will be a sad day for
bootleggers when the Gallinger bill be-
comes a law.

THE BIG STICK AS AN ISSUE.

In defense of his Panama policy
should be derelict in my duty if l used
false construction of the constitu-
ton as a shield for weakness and
tirnidity, or as an excuse for govern
mental impotence The same view
of executive responsibility was ex-
messed by him in speech in Chit
cago in 1902 when he coined the now
famous epigram Speak softly, but car
ry big stick With the opening Of
the present campaign democratic crit
icism is determined to make the "big
stick" and issue. Joseph Pulitzer, edi-
tor of the New York World, in a two
page open letter to the president, ac-
cuses him of intending ito divert the
nations thought and energy from the
duties that crowd upon it at home
abroad Militarsm and adventure
are foolishly claimed by the democrats
to be the goal of Roosevelt's ambi-
ton. When Henri Watterson dis
cusses the imam on horseback" he
fairly effervesces.
The democrats who have set up this
wall about the big stick" evidently
have lost sight of the big stick pres
-idents of the past. Andrew Jackson,
at mention of whose name every dem
ocratic hat should wave in the air.
was assafled as q big stick danger
and the career that brought him to
the white house was certainly belli-
cose and adventurous enough

1928 and 1882 Jackson had a popular
plurality which, in our present popu-
Iation. would be far above a million
William III. Harrison, another SOL
der, was a big stick danger in
1910. also of military tastes, and yet
his plurality was enormous. Old Zack
Taylor was another president who be-
lieyed and talked the big stick poll

LOOKER-ON in IOWA ]:
'ss's..s~s.,s.s..s;.-;.,ss;si

The public has now been given the
easons for the light sentence Edward
. Soue received for appropriating to
ais own use the funds of an Iowa bank,
mounting in round numbers to $54,-
100. For this crime he was sentenced
o eighteen months in the penitentiary.
Ne learn that he has made restitution
20 far as in his power so to do. That
his father has beggared himself in pay
ing back the dollars stolen by his son.
That the bank officials and stockhold-
ers suffering from his defalcation made
known their wishes, that in view of the
above related circumstances, he should
be given as light a sentence is possible.
And yet, with all this in mind, the
fact remains such a sentence is mis-
taken mercy.
An old saying is that punishment
should fit the crime. 1t is generally
considered wherever / go, that one of
the objects of punishment for crimi-
nails is to scare other criminals into
being good. The Soule sentence not
only has none of this effect but in a
way is an incentive to crime.
In all such cases as Soules there is
a prevalent opinion among men that
the defaultar puts away or secrets
some of his spoils. 1t is so in this case.
One hears that by going to the peniten
tiary Soule saved $4,000 by being
shut UP eighteen months. Three thou
sand dollars month salary for steal
ing. as one writer puts it. Another
view is that Soule deserves a heavier
sentence because he has beggared his
parents. They will be punished more
than eighteen months. Perhaps this
view of vicarious punishment finds
favor with some. This argument is all
the weaker because unfortunately
many sons are only too willing to thus
avoid punishment. No, there is no
point of view which makes such SEN
fences qualify, as the greatest good
to the greatest number. Rather do
they become classified as mistaken
mercy.

THE JUDGE WAS WRONG.

A story going the rounds of Iowa
newspapers, generally without unfav-
orable comment. is of the action of a
southern Iowa Judge upon a divorce
petition, recently before him. The
story goes thus:
Drunkenness and. of course, inhum-
an treatment We're the charges upon
which the wife asked a divorce. The
Judge questioned the heart-broken
wife awhile. and with tears in her
eyes and with two little boys at her
side she told OF the wrongs inflicted
by the man who had promised to
love, cherish and protect her thru
all the coming years.
Then it was that the judge took adj
vantage of her by the propounding of
simple question.
madam, was this man addicted to
the drink habit when you married him
and did you have knowledge of this
fact?'
The poor woman confessed that
such was the case.
",Then this court can do nothing for
YOU. You went into the case with your
eyes open and with thorough knoWl-
edge of the awful results and when
you accepted this man as your hus-
band you also accepted his passion for
strong drink The case is dismissed
and the costs Of this suit are taxed to
the plaintiff"
There is a priggishness about the
Judge in the story that suggests a
suspicion that the story is untrue. II
the report is accurate the judge was
wrong as well as arrogant. 1t was his
duty to inquire into the case as 1T
stood and if the evidence supported
the truth of the woman's allegations
grant her the relief afforded by the
law. the source of which is higher
than himself, and of which he is but
the interpreter, not the creator. It IS
no part of the intent of the law to
leave a weak woman to the mercy of
a wife beater and a drunken and in
human brute until outrage upon out
rage drives her to put poison in his
food or until he beats her to death In
a fit of whisky insanity. 1t is neither
good law nor good sense and it is far
from ordinary human charity to con-
denim a woman to live in hell for the
term of her natural life because a
foolishly affectionate girl made the
mistake of marrying an incipient
drunkard. To convey the impression
that the law offers wife no loophole
of escape from an inhuman husband
is to libel the Judgment and common
charity Of the lawmakers of the state.
Divorce is for precisely such cases as
the one wherein the judge is reported
to have denied it.
But the lesson to young women re-
mains the same. She who marries a
drinking man puts a mortgage on her
hope of happiness. Not every man
who drinks to excess is a brute in his
family, but happiness never abides in
the home of a drunkard. Every di-
vorce case is a warning to every man
and woman of marriageable age, that
ordinary judgment and common sense
are as necessary in the selection of
life mate as in the purchase of bus
mess, a farm or piano.

"It should not be forgotten" sug-
gests the Cedar Rapids Gazette, that
the voters will be asked at the cleo
ton this fall to decide whether there
shall be biennial elections or whether
the elections shall be held annually,
as has been the rule. The Gazette
can see no reason for the annual cleo
ton that is sufficient to offset the ad-
ditional expense, as practical mat
ter, and believes that the state would
be as we'll served with half the NUM-
Der of elections and half the election
expenses"

suggests that Possibly bank examin-
ers take too much for granted, are In
auenced too much by good fellowship.
A bank examiner ought to be free
from human impulses, if that were
possible, and his methods accordingly
severe"
"There is no mistaking the signifi-
canoe of the result in Vermont, de-
clares the Dubuque Times. 1T means
that the effort to create the impression
that President Roosevelt is an unsafe

vive the issue of imperialism has fall

fled with the man at the head of the
government and that the people are
