advantage in the tariffs on it's inter-
state shipments. The traffic men OF
the roads admit the unjustness of
the discrimination, but like Shaw on
the tariff they are standpatters be-
cause if they touch one rate the whole
scedule may come in for revision.
Revision to railroad men is abhor-
rent. 1t is to protected industries. The
rate regulation law abolishing rebates
has resulted in raising the rates ac-
tually paid on an immense volume of
shipments and the revenues Of the
roads are increasing. Lower rates are
inevitable, but the roads, like all
day of revision, just as long as they
can and they can so long as nothing
is done to bring public relief.
A state railroad commission has no
jurisdiction over interstate rates, to
be sure, and it can remain inactive
without technical dereliction, but a
state railroad commission would be
an ideal body to make complaint
against discriminating tariff to the
interstate commerce commission. and
if in need Of legal assistance in advo
eating the cause the governor of Iowa
ought to take the case for expenses
and contingent fee in the gratitude
Of his people. However, the state rail-
road commission, today, has the
requisite ability within itself to present
such matter without dividing fees
with the governor or any other law
yer. OF course the state railroad COM
mission may not be looking for trouble
and might not wish to go outside of
Iowa in search of it. Nevertheless
this is exactly what is the matter with
Iowa as factory state.

IowA's NEW N0ToRIerY.

The editorial columns of newspapers
published outside the state lack much
of pleasing reading to Iowans. The
shameful lynching at Charles City is
attracting comment of kind to which
Iowa has not been accustomed. 1t is
referred to as being marked by as
relentless a violence as any affair
of the same sort in darkest South Car
DINA "Such is law and order in one
of the cities of Iowa. says one paper,
lin a northern state, one of the fore
most in the union in education" The
Indictment goes on:
There is no excuse possible for such
ilized community If the mob had
never assembled law would have taken
its proper course, justice would have
been satisfied, the murderer would have
paid the penalty of his crime. AS 1T
is. every man who was member of
that mob has clouded his own soul
with murder, and is as guilty as the
man it hanged. A city full of MUIR
derers that is what Charles City is
today.
These are hard words, harder that
we have grown used to praise of the
character Of our citizenship, and hard
est because we know their truth and
our desert. The stain of mob murder
spreads red from Charles City across
the state. Because few men blind
with passion and needless of their cit
izenship relapsed into barbarism, must
Iowa be classed with the Carolinas
We know better here. Ne know that
the outburst at Charles city was one
Of the volcanic disturbances that oc-
cur at infrequent intervals in the best
communities and that the sentiment
of the state is unalterably and over
wheLningly against lynch law. None
the less Iowa must suffer in her fine
because few of her citizens hanged
crazy man to satisfy passion.
Men are still elemental. All we have
accomplished Is 10 cultivate Sell CON.
troll. When the occasion for anger is
deep enough and strong enough man
kind still turns to the primitive pro-
cesses of avenging injuries and prevent
ing further aggression. We are a rep
resentative people in Iowa. Our
power of self control is evidenced by
the history Of the state. Lynchings
have been few. Lawlessness is I'M
common and respect for law and con-
stituted authority is the rule. When
an outbreak occurs 1t is the sequel to
a long period Of repression. Let us
use every effort to punish the men
who led the mob at Charles City and
branded the commonwealth with the
mark Of Cain: and not less, let us look
into the causes that drew to the out
break and evolve some method where
by criminals may be brought to pun
ishment within less than half a de-
cade from the commission of their
crime. If we have put a premium
on mob murder by unconscionable de-
lay, let us take 1t of.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH iowA2

This is an era of reform. The state
railroad commission should not flee
from the prevailing epidemic. One new
member has just taken his seat and
in thirty days more will draw his, SAL
airy. Two others have been reelected,
one for the fifteenth or twenty fifth
time, more or less. There have been
evidences OF new birth distinguish
able from time to time which gives
hope that the state may yet have a
child OF accomplishments in the per-
son of its railroad commission. Time,
of course, will tell.
But in the meantime, when he is
not pounding Cummins, LATE will re-
peat his editorial query: What is the
matter with Iowa?" and lament the
fact that factories are not springing
up in this state as fast as they should
LATE has never said so, but the state
railroad commission can act.
The trouble with Iowa as a factory
center is this, and this only: Inter-
state freight rates are based upon ar
bitrary divisions which break at the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The
result is that it costs little more to
ship steers to Chicago from Omaha
than it does from points hundreds Of
miles nearer to Chicago than is Omaha,
and it costs more to ship factory pro-
ducts out of Iowa into other states
than it does to ship those some pro-
ducts to these same points an equal
distance from points outside OF Iowa.
Iowa cities situated ON the Mississippi
or Missouri rivers are the only ex-
ceptions.
The result of this is that one factory
which would like te, locate in an in
terror Iowa town and employ 100

The Church, No Club.
Rev. A.. Eugene Bartlett.)

A church cannot be conducted like
a club. The club has it's place, but
it's rules are not for the church, and
when a church attempts to regulate
its membership and attendance by the
rules in force in clubs, it defeats itself
and ceases to serve it's founder A
church has no right to consider a
mans purse, the street he lives on or
who his father was. Every really
Christian church is an open door

Judge Kelley is doing his duty when
he instructs the Floyd county grand
jury to probe the lynching to the bot
tom. However, no one expects that
any of the men who hanged Cullen
will ever suffer for their crime
The man who totes pistol whose
unbridled passions lead him to deadly
assaults; who defies public sentiment:
who looks to lynch law as a balance
to the delay and laundering of courts,
doesn't belong in Iowa, except as an in
mate of the penitentiary And he
should be given to understand it so.
Lynching is often the result of sug-
gestion. If any newspaper in Iowa
has suggested mob law directly or by
implication, as resort open in cases
like Buses, let it remember and
consider.
Having had a little seance with the

The peace preservation act for Ire

sale and importation of arms. The
object of the law was purely political
The government wanted to disarm the

to droy the law, which had outlived its
usefulness.

THE CONSERVATIVE VILLAGES.
rr,..4 Ano;.aae.

The small town or rural village is
the center of thought, education, re-
ligion and society in every state and
county. These country villages have
few stores, a blacksmith shop, ply
sician, a drug store, a grain buying
establishment, meat market, stock
buying agency and general store.
The farmers and their families visit
these villages frequently and assist In
maintaining the same by their pat
ronage. The country village could not
and cannot be maintained without the
support of the farmer. 1t is In the
country village that the children from
the farms get their first glimpse OF
what might be called the outside world.
In contact with others in the village
ambitions are formed and the plans OF
the future take form. The country
village and the farming community
are the safeguards of the republic.
They are not caught by every passing
breeze. They are conservative. They
think before acting. What would be
the effect upon society if these villages
were practically destroyed by the with
drawal of the home patronage of the
neighboring farmer and the sending OF
the same abroad? The proposed de-
struction of the village and village
life forms one of the urgent and impor-
tant problems of the present time. The
large cities are reaching out to take
the trade away from these villages. It
is claimed that money might be saved
by concentrating all the trade into the
hands of merchants possessing millions
of dollars of capital in the great cities
