Denver. May with voice al
most breaking and hand shaking with
emotion Judge Moses HalIett yes-
terday read his farewell to the
bench and bar of Colorado. At the
conclusion of the farewell address
every man in the crowded room rose
and the applause was long and loud
Judge Hallett then administered
the oath of office to Judge Robert Il.
Lewis. formally creating him United
States district judge for the state of
Colorado. Judge Lewis announced
that Charles w. Bishop. will continue
as clerk of the court and also appoint
ed Z. L, Preston court stenographer.
The services were in charge of the
county bar association, Henry Il
Rogers presided.
Judge Hallett's farewell address
affected every person who heard. as
it was deeply impressive.

Bullet That Does Not XIII.

A bullet that hits the mark but does
not kill has just been invented by DR..
Deirliers of Paris. The details of it's
construction are not mentioned, but
it is said to be hollow and can be
used several times. In a test for
duel practice. pistols were used with
steel guards resembling sword hilt,
because, although the bullet does not
penetrate the clothing, it will wound
naked flesh. Both men wore goggles.
Out of 272 shots 202 struck some

MhRrA IA cRnps


Vice President w. G. Brown of the
New York Central system, who passed
through Ottumwa few days ago on a
tour of the states that constitute the
granary of the United States, has re-
turned to the east and made a report
of the condition of the crops. That
was what he came into the west for.
1t is undoubtedly a fact that Mr..
Brown was interested in the transpor-
tation side of the question and it was
his mission to prepare for handling the
crop rather than what its value is.
In Iowa and the other states of the
west the question of the value of the
product is paramount. To determine
the value of the crop accurately we
have to go east We have to go down
and see if the mills are running at
their full capacity. We have to learn
if the working men are eating beef and
pork and wheat bread. We have to de-
termine whether or not they are get
ting wages every day. We can tell all
this if we can see the smoke coming
from the stacks and the lights shin
ing in the furnaces. If such condi-
tons do not exist the west need not
SApeCL very luuCu lIOlll luG crop even
though it is a large one If they do
exist we in the west know that the
market is all ours, that we are not
competing with the Canadian farmer
in supplying the workmen of the Amer
lean factories. And the workman
knows that he is not competing with
the foreign manufacturers in supply
ing the western farmer with what he
needs.

DIVORCE SHOULD HAVE SAVED
HER,

Cedar Rapids Republican.-It is to
be hoped that those people who insist
on the abolition of divorce will take
note of the case of the poor woman
who was murdered by her brutal hus-
band in the northern part of this coun-
ty last Monday night. Here is case
where the long suffering woman prob
ably suffered the tortures of the
damned in silence either because she
knew of no way of escape from her
brute of husband, or chung to the
idea it was the duty Of wife to sub
NIT to any indignity that might be Of
fered her, in silence.
A leading clergyman of Boston re-
Gently declared that divorce instead
of being a sign of degeneracy was the
legitimate outcome of an advance in
civilization. There is much evidence
to support this theory. The old idea
that marriage was for better or for
worse. no matter how intolerable the
conditions, belongs to the days when
wives especially were looked upon as
chattels. The modern idea which looks
upon the marriage relation as sacred
only when it is actually sacred, and
which provides legal means for the
dissolution of an intorerable bond. is
after all the civilized idea.
The most graphic pen would prob
ably fail to describe all that the poor
woman whose brains were pounded
out with a hammer last Monday night
In a lonely farmhouse in Linn county
has suffered. The testimony is that
she was patient and long suffering I'M
der it all She ought to have been
neither. Long before she bore twelve
children to this brute of husband,
she should have gone into the courts
and asked for a dissolution of the
marriage bond. What gain can there
possibly be to the individual or to so
ciety in the perpetuation of such a.
savage home as this brute undoubted-
ly maintained.
People who argue for the abolition
of divorce probably have no concep-
ton of the misery that exists in many
homes, of the suffering that is entailed
and the crime that is committed, Not
long ago the clergy Of neighboring
city freely criticised a judge who had
granted a number of divorces in that
town. The judge invited the clergy
men to occupy seats in his courtroom
the next time the divorce calendar
was reached. After these ministerial
critics had listened to the testimony
for day or two they apologized to the
judge for their criticism and frankly
stated that if they were in his place.
they could not in view of the testi-
mony brought out in the various trials
do anything else than issue DEGREES.
1t is all right to criticise divorces that
are the result Of collision and fraud
and granted upon improper ground;
but to say that there should be no
such thing as divorce upon any ground
is to take a position that is absolutely
indefenSih1e

DAYS OF INDICTMENTS.

These are the days of indictments
Daily the dispatches bring the news Of
court charges brought against the
Standard Oil company and various
railway companies for violating the
laws of interstate commerce. But it
is not bad sign. 1t is a good one
1t is simply another proof of the rule
that people cannot go on indefinitely
doing wrong without being brought to
justice.
It may be considered a bad sign
when the courts are filled with Grim
mails, but it is usually a sign of some.
thing worse when they are not. This
situation calls to mind a clash in a
council chamber that took place in a
city not in this state. There was gen
eral criticism by the aldermen of the
manner in which the police department
was conducted by the mayor. Look
at the records" said the executive
II can show you that there are less
arrests" ut isn't the few arrests
that have been made we are talking
about" rejoined an alderman, cit is
the large number that have not been
made" The situation was that the
town was full of "disorderlies" but by
making few arrests the mayor expect
ed to have a record that he could
point to as so much lower than any
other mayor, and he argued from that
that the town was that much freer
from corruption. He knew to what
class of people he could make such an
argument, but he missed it on the al
dermen.
So there are those who will attempt
to figure that things are in a frightful
condition in the United States because
SO many corporations are being
brought into court to defend them
selves against the charges of breaking
federal laws. On the contrary it is a
healthful sign. 1t is sign that the
guilty are not going to escape simply
for the purpose of having peace and
quiet prevail among the capitalists.
The more indictments there are and
the more various the corporations are
among whom they are distributed, the
more respect there will be for the
law.

CRIME LEADS TO CRIME

When the investigation of the af-
falrs OF the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank is concluded, it will undoubtedly
be found that it was the old story of
committing second crime to cover up
the first one. That is the old story,
but 1T keeps as new as it is old Every
day brings fresh examples of it, not
from the lowly and the ignorant, but
from men who have seen it day after
day and know that it is as sure to fol.
low "as the night the day." providing
the criminal is not caught too soon in
his first act
What Assistant States Attorney
Olson terms "a regular fofgers nest, .
was found when he and H. w. Herring,
the cashier, went through the books
and papers Of the institution. Blanks
were found upon which the signatures
of depositors were traced from the re-
gistry book. The amount of the notes
were not filled. What were all these
for? They were not for immediate
use. That is plain, because they were
not used. 1t had not even been deter
mined as to how much they should be
good for. They were for emergencies.
They were to be used when some
other crooked work was about to be
exposed, undoubtedly.
1t is hardly to be presumed that
those were all prepared in a night. 1t
was systematic, like all such proceed
ings are. When people at the head O.
such institutions steal they do not
take a plunge, they go at it after the
first offense with system. 1t is
figured that if it is necessary to give
up one idea another will work out.
One theft Is covered with another TN
TIL the crash comes. When that comes
it is upon the ones who are least able
to stand up under it. The crime that
is conceived in one moment and exc
cuted In the next is bad enough, but
that which is executed with system
is unually far more reaching.
