mothers advice? Does she tell you
this slip of a girl on the verge OF wom-
anhood everything that happens to
her? Do you hold her close by the
cord of love? AS her mother, her con-
fident--her chum? II 80, your heart
will not be broken and your home made
desolate by the waywardness Of your
own child" 4

The Emmetsburg Reporter remarks
that number of the eminent judges
OF Iowa and among them Judge Weav-
err of the Iowa supreme court, have
condemned mob law in the most UNI
stinted terms. and comments: None
will deny the truth of these learned
dissertations for organized government
but one can't help but have a speak
ing idea that had these same men who
now denounce mob law so eloquently
been more interested In seeing That
exact Justice is melted out to criminals
of the worst type there would have
been 10 recourse to mob law. When
the court let teachnicalities and quib-
bles OF law rule their decision irres-
pecetive of the guilt Of the man before
the bar of justice they can not expect
to see an exasperated people keep
their heads"
Colonel Temple--the military title is
purely ornamental-came to Iowa as
secesslonist." says the Des Moines
Register and Leader. going into little
history "He was copperhead during
the war. He was West Virginan by
birth, and while his state remained
loyak his bias can be accounted for.
He afterwards became a convert to
republicanism. This in itself was not
discreditable But there Is not man
who knows him who believes he be-
came republican from any motive
other than has actuated his entire pub
lie career, namely, to be in with the
powers that be-
1.-THE lowering OF passenger fares
would go further towards allaying pub
lie hostility to the railroads than the
reduction of freight rates." says the
Dubuque Journal.
The Britt News has come to the
conclusion that there is but one man
ner in which to handle the liquor prop
osition and that is to fine the man who
Stops over and fining him good and
plenty The most of them Will soon
get tired of paying fines or laying in
Jail. Too often we waste sympathy
on men who make beasts Of them
selves
The Sheldon Daily Sun has never
heard a good reason offered why Iowa
should not have a primary election
law that will be the same in every
county, 1t urges that The nmina-
ton of candidates is as important as
is the election Of officials. No political
party can afford to either, nominate
or elect dishonest or incompetent men.
The people want good men in office
because they desire honest service, but
the politicians are not so particular. In
the nomination of candidate only
members of his party should take part,
hut after nominations are made the
several candidates are sized up" by
the people and the best man wins, re-
gardless of party affiliation. unless the
electors are too hide bound to scratch
their tickets 1t is right to support
your. party whenever you can do so
but it is the act OF a
patriot to help defeat candidate who
in your opinion is unfit to hold the Of
fee. to which he has been nominated"
lit is not good to have laws on the
statute books which cannot be en-
forced because Of lack OF support in
public sentiment" declares the Sioux
City Journal. Contempt for one i'll
advised law Is apt to breed contempt
for all law"
