Now that the governor can no longer
plead that Frank Shercliffe is wanted
to testify against Dennison, the Denni-
son case having fallen flat and been
dismissed--there may be a chance for
the Oklahoma sheriffs to get him. Iowa
ought not to protect criminals who are
wanted in other states, not even in
exchange for what was supposed to be
political information. - Cedar Rapids
Republican.
The efforts of the Republican to get
Shercliffe outside the state are almost
as strenuous and persistent as the
fight put up by It's respected part pro-
prietor. Mr. Mcmillan, to get him out
of the penitentian'y. when Shercliffe
was a self-confessed, convicted and
unrepentant highwayman. If there is
a newspaper in 1owu which should
keep a close mouth on the Sherchffe
matter it IS the Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican. The less it has to say about
Shercliffe the closer it will adhere to
good taste. Too much protestation on
it's part is likely to lead to miscon-
struction.

the GIRL WHO KILLED HER BARY.

Des Moines has furnished another
criminal sensation, the most terrible
and unnatural Of all the recent crime
with which the capital city has shock
ed the state. In this latest case girl
mother has confessed to cutting the
throat Of her new born baby and pack
ing the mutilated little body away in
the bottom Of a trunk. The coroner
held an inquest in the room where the
mother was confined to her bed in the
weakness Of her travail and while she
looked on at the proceedings the jury
properly returned a verdict of MUIR
der.
mother who killed her own child. It
was her own, flesh of her flesh, to fight
for and defend, but the preversa nature
Of the crime argues insanity. From the
details presented, the girl was alone
with her shame and her agony. When
men suicide under the pressure Of do
nestle troubles or financial wreck, we
charitably talk Of temporary insanity,
and vet suicide is a more natural and
vastly more common crime than child
murder after birth. No crisis Of debt
or domesticity equals the horror Of the
girl who faces what the Des Moines
murderess faced. Lost, deserted, with
the wreck Of her future crumbling
about her feet; alone, uncared for, at
a time when she most needs @affection
and protection, the wonder Is, not that
child murder under such circumstances
should be unique crime, but that It
is not a common one.
Nothing is to be said In justification
of murder but circumstances are al
ways to be considered. Why was it
necessary to hold an inquest in the
girls room, with the horrible thing that
had been her child only few hours
before, exposed beside the beside Of the
mother who murdered It? The girl
nao confessed, the eiiuie was uiiueHi-
able. Perhaps the sick girl on the bed
had deserved all the added agony of
mind that the sight Of the murdered
babe brought to her awakened sensi-.
bilities, but what Of those who in
flicted it? We condemn the south for
burning negro rapists at the stake, bu.
no negro in the fire ever suffered worse
torture than that girl who killed her
baby in Des Moines.

FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY.

While standpat newspapers and ora
tors are assuring US that the farmers
are unanimously and unalterably OPP
posed to tariff revision and reciprocity
they fail to explain why every conVen-
ton of livestock and agricultural IN
terests passes ringing resolutions
favoring these issues. The latest as
ISOLATION to indorse the action of the
national reciprocity conference and call
for action by congress is the National
Hereford Breeders Association. which
convened at Kansas City last week.
The Hereford breeders began their
resolutions by recognizing the prin-
ciple Of protection as the established
policy Of our country" Then it heart
lily approved and Endorsed the platform
of the National Reciprocity Conven-
ton, and especially its third resolution.
Continuing, the resolutions declare:

That in section of the Dingley law
congress declared Its purpose to make
certain concessions, not exceeding ~
per cent of the tariff schedules, when
ever the president should arrange COM
mercial treaties by and with the con-
sent of the senate with foreign coun-
tries:
That the defeated Kasson treaties
demonstrated that commercial agree
ments can be arranged advantageous
" to this country by the abatement OF
from to 20 per cent Of the rate of duty
on certain foreign products, which con-
cession section fully authorized and
granted for the purpose of extending
our own foreign market:
We therefore demand that congress
vitalize section Of that law by amend
ing it, to authorize the president to
make commercial agreements within
the limitations Of this section and in
accord with his own best Judgment.
Resolved: That the maximum and
minimum form OF protective tariffs
adopted by GERMANY. France, Russia,
Italy, and Austro Hungary, is warm
ing to this country that the policy OF

In conclusion, the resolutions express
implicit confidence in President
Roosevelt, commend his efforts to en-
force the laws against monopolies and
insure competition in livestock markets
and pledge the members Of the associa-
ton to bring to the notice of our con-
gressrnen the Importance to the stock
men and farmers Of these matters
which mean so much to our prosper
ity." The debate on the resolutions is
reported as entirely non-partisan and
the ballot was a unanimous vote And
still. in the face of the returns, we are
told over and oversagain in endless re-
iteration, that the agricultural interests
of the country stand opposed to and in
fear Of the "agitators" of reciprocity,
tariff revision and rate regulation.

EIGHT YEARS FINDING OUT.


Captain Hull is quoted by the WASH
ington Times as saying:
Il am in favor of free trade with
the Philippines as see severs repub-
lican members Of Secretary Taft's
party are. / was in the islands in 1901
and became convinced that if we were
to take the Philippines in we would
better not set up a wall between them
and the home country"
The Register and Leader may have
overlooked the statements made by
Captain Hull on his return from the
islands four years ago and therefore
will not do him an injustice by sug-
costing that it has not been generally
known that he favored free trade with
the islands.
What The Register and Leader does
desire to ask OF, the captain is why he
has not been an aggressive advocate
Of free trade during all these years in
which the islands have been impov-
erished thru an outrageous policy
forced OIL them by congress at The
behest Oh the sugar trust and the to-
bacco trust?
Is the voice Of Iowa to be forever
voice of admission that something
ought tc, be done or will it be some
of these days a voice Of. demand that
something shall be done2 Are we to
forever wait for some aggressive and
honest leader from the east to take
stand for right and then fall in after
it is settled that there is nothing else
to do. or are we sometime to lead IN
the direction of our own convictions:
There would not be a whimper to-
day in behalf of free trade with the
Philippines If Secretary Taft had not
made the fight of his life in season
and out of season for honest treat
ment Of the people for whom we have
assumed responsibility. But for him
the sugar trust would dominate con-
gress lust as it has for the last ght
years, and the men who will now vote
their convictions after the fight is won
would be keeping still just as they
have been keeping still during the past
eight years.
Eight years have elapsed of COM
mercial outrage against the wards OF
the nation. They have been years OF
us1rpation Of congressional power by
as cold blooded a conspiracy against
popular rights as the beef trust and
the insurance trust combined. What
voice Of protest has been raised from
Iowa? What man in congress has had
the courage to stand up and deno'lnce
this fraud on the American people?
