Wet him Of crime for the killing of the
betrayer of his daughter.
The pitiful case of Irene Blyden-
burgh is one that comes very close to
every home. Hers is the old story
over the story of lovely woman who
stoops to folly and finds, too late. tina,
men betray." Her refuge is the old
refuge She covered her shame and
aroused pity by death. Out OF the
world, the world pities her. Had she
lived and borne her child. where would
she have found refuge or pity? Today
Indignation rises hot and menacing
over the man who led her to ruin. Why
did it fail to rise and knock him down
while his wolfish pursuit lasted?
In connection with this case is an
individual responsibility that can not
be evaded and that should be placed
Someone knew that Dickinson was
pursuing this girl because some one
told of it. The story went whispering
from ear to ear over town. How many
knew of this pursuit? How many
knew Dickinson's family relations ?
What man or men, perhaps with
daughters of their own safe at home,
watched the stalking of innocence by
libertinism and made no sign? Were
they not keepers of the motherless and
defenders of the defenseless? They
would have stopped to drive
wolf away from the herds Of any
farmer in Hardin county Why did
they stand to watch the wolf tear
down decent and defenceless girl?
If God is God they shall some day face
their share of responsibility for the
ruin of that orphan.
( Let there be pity rather than con-
demnation for this betrayed and muir
dered girl. She was alone in the world
with her living to make and her young
brothers to guard and care for. She
must have been a good girl for her
weeping brother said of her: "She was
the only mother ever knew" She bore
a good reputation until Dickinson came
smooth. worldly wise, alluring and
treacherous. She was motherless She
craved love and an object for love as
all well constituted women do. Poor,
little Irene Blydenburgh, who dream
ed she lay the rosewreath of her af-
fections on an altar and woke to find
1t in sepulcher Of corruption! God
pity her and make her fate warning
to every girl!

The retirement of Mr.. Justice Brown

have just about the same effect on the

quitting the bench will necessitate a
considerable amount of political re-

,NGLEpue,s SUGGESTION or LAW.

Mayor Ingledue, of MarshaAtowh' III
his recent address before the Leagus
Of Iowa Municipalities, at Des MONIES
suggested the outlines for REFORM
atory law dealing with drunken anq
other "habituals' that deserves the at
tention of the press and the legislature
That portion of his excellent paper re-
ferring to the proposed reform is pub
lished in another column OF TINS Issue
and is worthy careful reading and
thought.
AS the mayor says, the present ponce
court system lacks perspective. IL
lacks the true elements of reform. II
nermits men who are without shame
and sense of responsibility to evade
their family responsibilities and shift
them to the public at large. Inc
mayor is right when he demands the
legal power to collect labor in support
of dependent ones from brute WITH
big biceps, as money may be forced
from the other with the big bank ron.
Work is the cure for petty crime and
support is due from the s.ble-bodied
man to those dependent upon him. The
MAYORS plan of collection is a good
one for the state and the habitual.
"Old john whose case was the sub
ject of editorial notice yesterday, Of
fers a fit object for the operation OF
the MAYORS scheme. He is hard
working man, who would be decent
enough if not an habitual drunkard.
His wife could live we'll on S26 month
and "Old John" would be much better
off working in a road camp for the
support of his family than working
hard in town principally for the bene-
fit Of the whiskey seller.

Northwood, Sept. 15.-One runs onto
some curious political "mix-ups" these
days. For instance in Rockford there
a red-hot protectionist, and who can
give good sound reasons for the faith
that is in him. He has no use for
Cummins. "Cummins is democrat"
Now it so happens zone of the Trigg
boys" runs the Rockford Register, and
he dealt and is still dealing sledge
hammer blows in favor of Cummins,
and the Iowa idea, and the latter fact
is particularly aggravating to our rad
ical republican brother. why said
he, young Trigg knows more than his
father; knows more than I do. Yes,
sir, I'm going to vote the democratic
ticket this fall, the first time in my
life" No county weekly edited by a
boy can tell me how to vote"
Fully as consistent is the bank
crowd in Marble Rock. "Cummins is
a free trader" Democrats voted at
our primaries" I'VE standpatters real
ly had majority in our primaries,
but they euchered U.S." mo choice this
fall, only democratic tickets in the
field, so will vote for Porter" To this
scribe's remark that "if Perkins had
been the choice of the Des Moines
conventions" che would have voted for
him. came the reply: I'VE don't have
to swallow Cummins" and the funny
part of it is that prominent democrats
there say they took no part in republi-
can caucuses or conventions, and have
got 1t in for Cummins because of the
protection plank in the republican
platform, say he has backed down.

these anti-Cumnins republicans are

publicans that can be reached by sober
argument If convinced of the error
of their ways. One man says that ev-
cry congressman In Iowa, should go
out during this campaign, and make
personal plea for Cummns' reelection,
this on the ground that Cummins has
been maligned and misrepresented by
his political enemies, and the reason
why that those congressman should
get to work along these lines, isN that
their political fortunes are bound up
with Cummins. That If Iowa goes
democratic this fall some of these cor
gressmen will fail to go back to Wash

the RLYDENBURGH CASE.

AZ the story of the. ruin, and the
murder nv criminal malpractice, OF
Irene Blydenburgh develops, the case
grows blacker and the Justice ana
propriety of complete exposure and
stern punishment of the men and
women directly connected with the fate
of the unfortunate girl, becomes IN
sistently necessary for the public good.
II is stated that the revelations Will
rack Des Moines society that it Will
axnose a lecherous coterie similar to
the crypt of libertinism laid bare by
the killing of Stanford White, and I'M
cover a group of abortionist charnel
houses. Pressure, it is said, is being
brought on the county attorney, VINO
is also a candidate for judge, and
threats of political opposition hang
over him if he does his simple duty
other men of family beside Dickinson
are. it is freely alleged, attempting 10
find shelter from the storm OF expos
IRE lowering over Des Moines. To the
credit of the county prosecutor be 1t
said. he shows no present signs OF
weakening. His position is trying
one. Every position where men must
he true or false to themselves and their
nlain duty under pressure is trying
but it is opportunity. Mr.. Millers OPP
portunity is before him He can take
mis- choice between being man or a
commodity.
Why will men play with murder
V hen abandoning themselves to sensu-
atty? They know the danger, why
will they not think of the tortures to
which an otherwise respectable girl is
subjected when the physical conscious
ness of her guilt begins TO materialize.
They know that such girls will seek
self-destruction to escape detection,
that they must endure worse than l1v-
ing death if nature IL allowed to take
its course. OF course, the question is
always present, why will men unbrldle
their passions when they know the
cost. but even with the man abandon
ed from self-restraint, why will he
pursue innocent girls when he would
shrink from pushing them into the lake
or throwing them before an express
train for mere pleasure?
One astonishing thing about these
cases is that men with worldly knowl-
edge and much to lose should not from
a selfish nature count the chances Of
exposure and punishment and refrain
from the pursuit of young girls. Soon
or late to men like the betrayer of Irene
Blydenburgh comes the inevitable day
of discovery. Perhaps 1t may result
in broken family ties. perhaps in the
loss of position and not seldom in a
felon's cell. Still such men dominated by
unbridled baseness, continue on the
open way to shame and disgrace with
the end of the road always in plain
view. They deserve no sympathy, have
no claim that society is bound to rec
ognize more than a mad dog. They

There was calm recognition Of a SER

desire to unite in support of county
tickets" declares the Hawkeye, with a
cat and canary complacency. "The re-
ports from the various counties indi-
Gated that in some instances the orig
is being modified, and in other cases
it was deemed advisable not to press
