AVE THE PEOPLE"

Writing from a Poweshiek county
town a correspondent isncloses two
clippings presumably from a local
paper referring to prosecutions for al
legged crime. One Of these chronicles
the sentence to prison Of a carnival
employee who had been convicted of
horse stealing; the other the result or
a case against a man accused OF as
sa,1lt with intent to commit rape and
the commitment to Jail for a few days
Of the defendant. It is asserted in
the communication that the charge Of
was as well sustained by evidence
as that of theft against the other
man. From these cases he draws the
conclusion that we think more Of our
horses than Of our girls, and that much
of the general non-observance of laW
is born of the apparent injustice n
indifference OF courts.
That some general ground exists
for the complaint offered, no one can
deny. Enough Instances of escape
from the courts Of criminals unmistak-
ably guilty Of outrageous crime are
at hand to Undue not only the present
complainant but the public at large
with the impression that men are pun
ished who steal a pin AMI others guilty
of marked and heinous crimes escape
the legal consequences of their acts.
OF TIE two particular cases in point
1t would be unjust to deliver a positive
opinion without the evidence that de-
cided the judges or juries that tried
them. Even II injustice were done
one swallow does not make a sum-
mer, nor are the Instances of guilty
men al liberty proof positive of .
general contempt Of law or sympathy
with lawlessness.
we, the people" make laws, cree
ate courts, and, Judges, and upon us
is the burden OF law enforcement. In
the final analysis of conditions the
blame or praise ends with US. 1t was
before juries of the people and Judges
chosen by them that the rape and
horse stealing cases were tried. How
we'll the crime was fastened on the
defendant was for them to judge. 1t
is unlikely hat a man guilty Of ape
on the evidence was permitted to es-
cane with a minor fail sentence in any
Iowa community, unless by the sup
preston of evidence, false evidence or
the common method of purchasing i'm
munity by settling the case" with the
injured individuals.
We do not. as a people, estimate our
horses above our girls. The perpe-
traitor of rape in staid Iowa may we'll
tremble at the souni of gathering
voices ard fear summary vengeance.
But getting back to US, who are the

Rush Bundle Bees.

Whether the constitution follows the
flag or not, a cablegram from the Phil
.ippine Islands to Washington a few
days ago demanded that the govern
ment should rush humble bees" across
the Pacific. The bees are needed for
cross fertilization of certain plants,
under charge of the agricultural de-
partment. Two cigar boxes were filled
with the bees, and they were put on
ice and half frozen to make them tor
pid so they would not get seasick.
Surely the progress Of modern science
has surprises at every turn. Men rush
to China to capture ladybugs to rush
over the Pacific to fight San Jose
scale in America; they go to Persia to
capture bees to fertilize figs in Califor-
MIA so that they will gain the rich
flavor Of the imported figs; and now
even humble bees get first class cabin
passage over the ocean because they
are needed in the Philippines.

From the Bluffton, Ind, Banner:

to show others that you have reformed,

uuainted with the fact. When you want

and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and

last appeal in law and law enforce
ment In a representative government,
what are we doing but make laws?
When Neighbor Jones FORCES a note
and Settles" with the injured party,
is there any mass meeting Of the
neighborhood to Insist that crime shall
not go unpublished? When a girl is
ruined and the guilty man arranges
a cash payment for the privilege Of
paternity out of wedlock, who COM
plains? When an open and shameless
intrigue has ended in the breaking up
OF a home and the injured husband
or wife is paid off," who carries
the matter to the criminal courts
where it belongs! Who complains of
the illegally conducted saloon, the
blind pig and the brothel? Search the
records and count on half the fingers
of one hand the number OF informa-
tions filed against brothels by pri-
waite citizens of respectable repute.
Five hundred men will complain BIT
terly in conversation, of lawless con-
ditions, but not one will take legal
steps to improve or punish. The Off
cial who neglects his sworn duty
comes to is next year., plausible,
pleasant and full of excuses-and we
re -elect him.
Coming down to brass tacks the
people Of Iowa are to blame for too
much law and too slack enforcement
Of law. 1t is unusual for officials to
Keep a higher sense OF duty than is
held by the. people they represent.
Lets get down to the actual founda-
tions of responsibility. 1t is easy to
tell our neighbor or complain to the
press Of conditions. II is hard to file
a prosecutors information or come
forward with the evidence, but the
latter plan is the one that delivers
the goods" If men would condemn
publicly what they complain Of In
private or under a o de plume; IL
men opposed, say to saloons, would
cease to salve their consciences with
the legalized blackmail they collect
monthly by reason OF ownership of
property; if crime couldn't
settled for in cash, I'VE, the peo-
pie" would rise nearer to our ideals
and the law be better enforced.

Finding Diseased Meat.

A recent news telegram from Har-
risburg, Pa, says:
Five of the agents engaged in the
meat hygiene service of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board have been a!
work this week in Allentown. In a
number of cases the establishments
and the meats apparently had been
prepared for their examination. In one
case the posted owner of a meat mar
ket worked until 10 o'clock the night
previous to the arrival Of the agents
cleaning up his place. There were
some places, however, in such a con-
dition that it vas not possible to put
them in proper order.

DoLL1vER OR ALLISON?

DOLLlVER OR ALLISON?
(From the Armstrong, Ia, Journal.)
Senator Delivers Council Bluffs
speech Monday was the opening gun
in the senatorial campaign. In Ian
guage eloquent and vehement the
junior senator argued for the re-elec-
ton of his senior colleague. He makes
his appeal direct to Iowa voters and
places particular emphasis upon his
right to make expression of his
choice, a right which no n will ques-
ton. There is no doubt but that a
large majority of Iowa's voters who
expect to support Governor Cummins
in the senatorial contest will willing
Iy grant Senator Dolliver all the priyi-
lege of free speech he cares to use.
They will gladly hail this innovation
Of his. They have been the ones who
have desired most to know what his
alliances have been. Senator Dolliver
is to be admired in his most recent
display of fearlessness, but his effort
will prove a valueless factor, because
Of the opposite policy he has shown
in the past. The senator complains of
what he calls the prevalent idea that
a maj representing his state down at
Washington forfeits his right to speak
out in the battles fought within his
state. He is mistaken. Such an idea
is erroneous. The people, and partic-
ularly those friendly to the governor.
expect anything III silence from their
officials whether engaged in their rep-
r~esentation at the national capital or
in the administration of state affairs
at home. The voter who has watched
the actions Of the junior senator for
the past few years cannot take him
with much seriousness. He does not
fit the role of a war god. Indeed, the
voter would recognize him more quick
