THE BLyDEHBuRGH uAsE.

The case of Dickinson and the ply
stefan who is accused with him of re-
sponsibility for the death of Irene
Blydenburgh is scheduled to come UP
this week at Des Moines. Unless the
court sees fit to grant continuance
these men will be placed on their trial
for the untimely taking Of a life that
promised much and ended in shame
This Is a case where a continuance
should be granted grudgingly. Time
enough has elapsed between the crime,
the accusation and the date set for
both the defense and the prosecution
to prepare themselves. Whether or
not these men are guilty as charged in
the indictment their trial should pro-
coed without the delay that has become
common in cases involving serious
crime and earned much of the criticism
directed at courts and criminal pro-
cedure. The case is peculiarly the

was fatherless and motherless and her

They failed to protect, but they should
not fail to punish. Whoever is guilty
as principal or accomplice of the ruin
and death of this girl must suffer for
it or the state, the community and the
citizenship of Iowa stand convicted of
gross negligence. This Blydenburgh
case is distinct. 1t is the public Gull

Editor Times Republican:
The lamented scarcity of teachers is
artifcially created by the state super
intendent. Why don't you publish the
examination questions, so we can judge
if they were fair and reasonable? Are
teachers expected to be living diction-
aries? Ten of us mothers with fair ed
ucation and an encyclopedia, can pre-
pare an examination that Mr.. Riggs
himself would have trouble to pass.
We women are not to blame if the ball
lots did not get scratched more. VIII
our teachers give better satisfaction
at 500 a month? Shall the taxpayers
foot the bill or the smart fellow that
tries to start an educational trust and
who wants to cure all the ills of our
school system, with high salariee
teachers. Ask twenty-five of our girls
by what occupation they expect to earn
their living. Ask twenty-five mothers
what is first choice for their daughters.
And ask our young men, If their first
choice for bride is not the school
ma am. Now why shall we pay so
much for a job they all prefer? be-
lieve competent housekeeper, or hired
girl as you call her, ought to get as
much as teacher. I'm as much for
a good education as any one but 1T con-
sists of a head full OF booklearning
and a ruined nervous system. Or
stands education for an improved mini
an upright character and an increased
ability to earn an honest living? 1t is
an insult on our county superintendent
and the rural directors to hint that
they choose teachers for personal rea-
sons, and not for worth, and ability to
conduct the schools. The county super
intendents are very well able to exam
inc the teachers. That is what we have
them for. Long live the sweet Iowa
schoolma am, the best product of our
farms! And we intend to keep her.
Consolidation may be fine, where the
majority of the community resides in
the center of township, and where
they have not built expensive new
school houses. One plan would be to
teach children up to the Sth grade in
the country and make an arrangement
with the town school board to have the
sth and higher grades in the town
schools.

city domination and the Davenport
editor would be pleased to have it re-
main so.
The possibility that a great city in
the center of the state might seriously
affect and confine the operations and
growth of the group of good towns
known as the Tri-Cities is scarcely
in argument. However, it is a con-
tingency not likely to be overlooked at
Davenport. What is pointed out polit-
ically is true. but the purist in politics
has never been able to stay the rise of
cities. Business conditions and oppor-
tune locations and the grit and hustle
Of their inhabitants build metropol
on the sites of country towns With
the increasing density Of population
Iowa is certain to have at least one
big city. Logically it is Des Moines.
Materially it is to the advantage of the
state to have it at the confluence of
Iowa railroads, and in the center of the
state. If we are to feed a city Of a
half a million sometime Within the next
half century let US have them handy
aInd accessible from every corner of
Iowa.
Moreover there is hope for better
things. DR.. Chapman says he selected
Des Moines as the seat of his evangel-
istic endeavor because of the great OPP
portunity. Everyone will agree with
the evangelist as to the opportunity
for an evangelist to keep busy there
and add their hope to his of ultimate
resene ration. Perhaps Des Moines may
yet lead in piety as in population. Here
tofore the push has been toward an in
crease in the city census more than In
that of the New Jerusalem, but we may
now expect better things. Possibly when
the evange1ists get thru with Des
Moines even her police will have been
reorganized if not regenerated, Its
newspapers bound together in frater-
nal tie that shall take no heed of circu-
lation except, possibly. to tell the actual
truth about it, it's street car company
