THE "cARNIvAL oF CRIME.

New York World. British thinkers
have been deeply impressed by the
fact that there were more lives lost
by murder in three years in this coun-
try than the entire loss on the British
side in the Boer war. But the reasons
seem to have escaped our critics. Thus
Sir Conan Doyle. through the Sunday
World, says:
1.-THE law is loosely administered. I
presume the trouble to be that judges
are not free as they are here; they are
Influenced by political motives; there
is a pull hither and thither and JUS
tice is not administered"
Quite otherwise the facts. The pre-
valence Of murder is partly due to
surviving frontier conditions, partly to
race feuds in the south, partly to the
admixture Of alien races by immigra-
ton.
But it Is not true that judges are
generally less free or more Influenced
by political motives than In England.
In character and in ability the Ameri-
Can bench ranks very hiEh The

The officers of the union are worthy,
able men. They will see that the
miners do not lose by any settlement
Of local difficulties. They can be de-
pended upon by the miners to look
after the interests of the unions
members but in order to do that sue
cessfully they must have the cooper
alton of the individual members.
Let every member of the Iowa min
ers' union enter upon the new scale
year with determination to do every
thing in his power to prevent shut
down on account Of any local griey-
ance. If he persists throughout the
two years he can take 1t for granted
that there will be little trouble at the
end Of that period in making scale
that will be good one for the miners.

STORIES THEY TELL.

William Allen White says that the
most amusing personal" note that
ever he came across in q country
newspaper was that which last year
caught his eye while reading Wis
consin paper. The item was some
thing like this: * az
"Niels Anderson met with painful
accident last week, a fishhook becom-
ing entangled in his eye. Niels is be-
ing attended by DR.. Phil Morton, who
says his eye will come out all right"
Uncle Joe Cannon was telling this
story on himself last fall.
He had taken one of his country
friends to his city hotel for dinner.
Uncle Joe is abnormally fond Of green
corn and deyoured seven ears to which
the rest Of his dinner was scarcely a
relish.
The friend looked at the senator
curiously.
'How much does 1t cost you to
board here, he asked.
Give dollars day. said Senator
Cannon.
Say" returned his friend,
Wouldn't 1t be good deal cheaper
at livery stable?"

Bridge Whist Mania ls Great for the

Paris. April 1.-THE bridge whist

Of the rest Of the world, has been sui.
fering for the last few months, has
been windfal for the manicurists.
The game. Of course, brings the hands
constantly in evidence and their an.
pearance has become question Of
great concern to the men as well as
the women players. Unless ones an.
ger nails are polished and rosy. one
can hardly expect to receive proper
recognition at the bridge tournament.
The funny part of it Is that six Of
the veteran scholars of the institute.
who have fallen under the manicur.

for the fact that they frequently for.
got even the washing Of their hands

no coal strike in Iowa this year un-
less something entirely unforeseen
and unexpected shall develop. While
there has. been more or less uncer-
tainty because of the unsettled condi-
ton Of affairs in the eastern states,
the Courier has expressed the opinion
all along that the Iowa miners and
operators would come to an agree
ment and that they would use the 1908
scale Of wages as basis for q settle.
ment this year, the miners to concede
some stronger resolutions than have
existed heretofore with regard to the
conditions under which the miners
shall work. This is the basis upon
which the joint scale committee is
now working, tho operators having
yesterday agreed to enter upon nego-
tiations for a new scale with the scale
OF three years ago as basis.
Rome was not built in day, and
the entire agreement which is to gov
ern the Iowa mining industry for the
coming two years cannot be made and
ratified before next week, but the
main points at issue are settled and
the operators and miners are now fac.
ing each other fairly and squarely,
without bluffs and clustering.
The greatest trouble that has fall
en- to the lot of the Iowa operators
during the past several years has
been through the failure of the indi-
vidual members of the miners union
to obey the letter of the agreements
made between their delegates and the
delegates of the operators association.

cred to settle them, but instead there
have been numerous cases where the
miners have absolutely refused to
work and the action has caused heavy
loss to the operators affected. This
the operators want to avoid this
year. They are willing to pay the
miners on the basis Of the scale OF
1903 if, by making this concession
they can obtain stringent rules guar
anteeing them enough men to conduct
their mines probably through the In
term between local disagreement
and it's settlement.
The miners union should make ev
cry effort to give the operators all the
assurance possible and all the aid
they can in making a resolution bind
ing the Individual members of the
union to work during such periods as
those mentioned above. And it is be
lieved that there will be no trouble in
obtaining an agreement to that effect
at the present joint meeting in Des
Moines. 1t is known that the officers
of the union are in accord with the
operators in this but the trouble comes
when agitators in the ranks of the
union get to work among their fellow
workmen and bring about sentiment
of distrust against the operators. II
comes down to the individual miner tc

JOHN HERRlorTs CANDIDACY.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.- a
candidate for 0overnor, John Herriott
will command support along sane and
substantial lines-those of honesty,
fairness, independence. sobriety, in
telligence, firmness and sincerity. Mr..
dacy was published throughout the
state yesterday morning. and iflust
have made a deep impression on the
thinking public.
It has been we'll understood for some
time that Mr.. Herriott would enter
the race. A few months ago he might
have felt deferred from doing so on
account Of the condition of his health,
but Of late. in fact throughout the leg
islative session, he has been in better
health than for years, and has presid-
ed over the senate in his official ca
pacity as lieutenant governor without
the loss Of q day on account Of illness.
There thus being nothing in the state
Of his health to forbid him making q
campaign for the governorship. Mr..
Herriott' reached a definite decision
some weeks ago that he would do so.
With becoming sense Of the fitness
of things, however, and with an adj
mirable poise in the midst Of scenes
chaotic and shifting, he deferred maxi
ing formal announcement Of his can
didacv until the close Of the legisla-
tive session. Such charge probably
would not have been made against
him in any event, but by Withholding
until the adjournment Of the legisla-
ture Mr.. Herriott made himself secure
against even the suspicion Of using
the powers Of his office to promote his
own interests.
Governor Herriott makes public
statement for the purpose Of indlcat-
Ing his attitude towards public uues-
tions in which the voters are interest
ed, but, of course, everybody knows
what Honest John" Herriott stands
for, because, as he himself so truth
fully says, there was a time when he
was practically alone In carrying out
a policy of just and equitable taxation
of railroads. But" he adds, equally
truthfully. and with a good deal Of
meaning in the observation. "the peo-
pie signif1ed their approval and all
now gather around that standard and
stand on the same platform"
Mr.. Herriott speaks of the tariff. He
Is Of the opinion that president
Roosevelt's policy Of letting the tariff
alone is the best course to pursue"
He finds cno real difference among pa
triotic republicans regarding the ne
cessity of effective and reasonable
control Of railroad traffic rates" He
sounds a warming against the pitfalls
OF government ownership and social
ism. and calls on all to follow the
leadership Of Hepburn, Dolliver and
! Allison who are seeking to secure
