THE CASE OF BILL RICHARDS.

Des Moines Capital.-We are not dis
posed to utilize much space in drawing
moral lessons from the case of Bill
Richards. The supreme court yester-
day affirmed the decision Of the lower
court in which Richards was convicted
of completely In sensational robbery
and sentenced to the peniteItiary for
a period Of eighteen years.
So far as moral preachments are
concerned the case speaks for itself.
1t is so inexcusable that people wont
to seek some circumstance in mltiga-
ton turn away in disgust at the ap-
speakable exhibition of folly.
For years Bill Richards had been in
the employ of the United States gov
eminent as deputy marshal. 1t is adj
mitted that he was an efficient officer.
For that he is entitled for credit so
far as it goes. The extraordinary
thing, the astounding thing, is that
after years of experience. in dealing
with criminals and the opportunities
afforded to see the utter hollowness of
criminal career and the ignominy in
which they almost invariably end, he
should permit himself to become a
partner in scheme to rob an old man
and woman.
If Bill Richards could not learn the
lesson that the way Of the transgres.
sor Is hard with all the opportunities
afforded him for learning, what encour.
agement is there for hoping that others
may learn the lesson from study OF
the case of Bill Richards?

barred from marriage for a period of
from two to five years, according to
the gravity of the cause Of divorce,
and that any person violating this pro-
vision shall be held to be guilty of
bigamy
The law is impracticable and un-
likely to have the slightest effect in
ameliorating the divorce evil in Mis-
souri,. Like all laws creating new stat
uory crimes, 1t is sure to be construed
with the utmost strictness by the
courts, and as the state of Missouri
has no jurisdiction over acts commit
ted outside Its territory, the divorced
Missourian forbidden by this law to
remarry within Ave years can remarry
within five minutes, mourning no risk
whatever Of prosecution for bigamy by
simply crossing the border into any
one of the eight neighboring states
long enough to have the ceremony per-
formed. In It's endeavor to make its
statute stringent Missouri has over
reached It's purpose and made 1t prac-
tically worthless.
State divorce laws are never going
to touch the divorce evil'' or rather
the "remarriage after divorce evil"
There are too many of them already.
Their number and variety are at the
root of the whole trouble. The one
statutory remedy that might do some
little good would be national divorce
law following closely the New York
statute.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

ut will take ten years to dig a sea
level canal under most favorable con.
ditions with the hopeful help of the
American people; it will take twenty
years IL there shall be troubles and
scandals, changes Of management ETC. /"
This is the statement made by Laf-
ayette Young, publisher of the Des
Moines Capital, after having visited
Panama. 1t is a sermon in single
sentence and it should be borne in
upon the minds of the people, upon
the minds of the congressm en- and the
men whom the government entrusts
with the task of constructing the
Panama canal. The scheme has been
tried under, French control and has
resulted in one Of the greatest bust
ness scandals the world has ever
known. When the Suez canal was
constructed there was another scan
dial, though not SO great. 1t now re-
mains for America to set an example
to all the other nations of the world,
to make a record of honesty in con.
nection with her triumph over obsta-
cles in the path Of the engineers.
Mr.. Young, during his visit to Pan.
ANA, gained much information that is
interesting. Regarding the questions
of health and conditions of living in
the canal zone, the two points upon
which everyone desires information.

GENERAL LEW WALLACE.

General Lew Wallace is dead One
by one the heroes of the civil war are
answering to the last notes of the
bugle, calling them to the "Bivouac of
the Dead" General Wallace was among
the last OF the great leaders whose
names are closely connected with the
events which brought reunion out of
secession and disorder. He was in the
battle Of Shiloh and in numerous other
engagements in the southern states.
But it is as writer that he is prob
ably best known and as the author of
Ben Hur'' his name will live long
after his memory as soldier. His
death occurred last night at the fam
lily home in Charlottesville, Ind. There
he had been Ill for several months and
his death brought to an end suffer
ings that have been bravely endured
through years.
General Wallace spent his boyhood
days in Indiana. He was born at
Brookville. Franklin county, Ind, April
10, 1927. Ten years later. when his
father, David Wallace was elected
governor Of Indiana, the family moved
to indianapolis. His mother was the
daughter Of Judge Test a man who
took an important part in the early jul
dicial history of Indiana.
The youthful Wallace did not take
kindly to the restraints of school life
His father used to say of him that he
had paid his tuition for fourteen years
schooling and that he had hardly got
one. An effort was made to put him
through college, but it failed. He had
a passionate fondness for reading how.
ever. and his parents took pride and
comfort in the fact that his taste ran
to good wholesome books. At an early
age he showed a decided talent for
drawing and painting, which might
have made a great artist of him had he
cultivated and developed it.
After leaving college he studied law
in his fathers Office, was admitted to
the bar in due time and practiced ir.
regularly for several years, but with.
out developing any real liking for the
