THE POINT IN THE CASE.

Davenport is in the midst of bit
ter fight between the saloon element
and the more aggressive of the oppon-
ents of the saloon. A lawyer who Is
prosecuting law violations has been
threatened and insulted by mobs, and
beaten with cane by a leading repre-
sentative of the crowd that is object
ing to the prosecutions The people
are lining up in hostile camps, the city
is acquiring reputation of left hand
ed sort, reputation that it scarcely
deserves, for in general Davenport is
not a criminal city but one of homes
mad thrift and industry. All this is
unfortunate but who is to blame?

are sometimes conceived and carried on
by men who would not be permitted to

WHEN HE SMILED.

The trial of the man Dickinson, ac
cused of part in the slaughter of
Irene Blydenburgh, is in progress at
Des Moines. Whether or not he will
be convicted of the particular crime
with which he is charged, is matter
of evidence and a petit jury but the
picture of that trial and the events
that preceded it is one for all men and
women to see and ponder over What
ever the jury may say and whatever
part Dickinson may have had in the
actual murder of the girl by malprac-
tice, enough has been uncovered to
brand him as the murderer Of her
virtue, her good name and her moral
character. OF the one crime jury
may acquit him, justly perhaps. With
the other he is irrevocably branded
and of the two he is on trial for the
least.
The news reports say Dickinson
smilingly prompted his attorney in the
cross examination of a witness who
was testifying to the presence of him.
self and Irene Blydenburgh at hotel
Still when he turned so smilingly to
his counsel, the brother and father of
the dead girl sat within his sight and
within hearing of his voice. His wife
and children were by his side. AT the
testimony that exposed his relations
with the girl Mrs. Dickinson dropped
her eyes to the floor. She was not
smiling. The father and brother of
Irene Blydenburgh We're not smiling.
Fathers and mothers with sons and
daughters upon whom they build hope
We're not smiling.
Smiles are as out of place at that
trial as laughter at a dying bed. 1t is
an object lesson to be couned by ev-
cry girl, whence all men may draw
warning for themselves. Smiles? God
only knows the awful horror, the I'M

NO ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCES.

Advance sheets from Appleton's
Magazine for November, offer extracts
from an article by Governor Cummins
which in broad and capable manner
reviews the political situation and pre-
sents the views of progressive repub-
slicans in general and those of the gov
sernor in particular. One of the things
he points out is that the movement
that has resulted in so much that is to
general satisfaction is mot sectional
and hardly partisan but factional'
That the east appears to be out of
touch with the advanced demands of
the west he says is not because of es-
sential differences of opinion but be-
cause the east has not as yet spoken.
THAT the voice of the west is not in
harmony with the voice of the east
may be true, but if there is discord
it is because the great body of the
people are speaking here, while they
have not yet found their tongues on
the shores of the .Atlantic,'' declares
the governor.
And this is true There is no seri-
Gus difference among the rank and
file of the republican party. The voices
of high diseord are trained voices
raised for a purpose. There is not
great difference in men whether of
party or section in faith and in applica-
ton Of the underlying principles of
the action of governments and individ-
uals. The democratic vote for Roose-
Welt in the last election, the demo-
cratic demand for his reelection
proves the point. That the republicans
of the east are as one with those of
the west on all essential points is the
story brought back by almost every
visitor to the Atlantic watershed whose
path lies among the common voters
instead Of the men who control cor
norations and create combinations.
There are no sectional line cross
ing the field Of the square deal. 1t is
common territory to all men of all
creeds, parties and sections. The as
sulned differences are cultivated ones.
When the voice Of the people is heard
it harmonizes with honest state and
national administrations, with the de-
mand for control Of corporations and
such tariff revision as may be rneces-
sary to equalize taxation with protec-
ton. Even the men and interests who
boldly opposed all that the procession
lists in government have stood for are
saying confidently the things they de-
MED.
Yesterday the progressionists were
assaulted. Today the personality of
of leaders of the movement that has
been approved by the people are the
object of the assault. The differences
between the voters are small. They
are not sectional or essentially sell
fish. The square deal is in the as
cendancy.

mon in Iowa and that saloonists have
been .'held up" and shaken down"
by men whose only interest in the
prosecutions they inaugurated or
threatened was the graft they secured
or hoped to secure. Granting all this,
the fact remains that the lawlessness
of the liquor sellers and of the traffic
in general has given the CRATER his
opportunity. 1t is hard to blackmail
men who have kept within the law.
But graft and blackmail have been
and of the prosecutions have been IN
accord with the majority sentiment OF
Iowa and the communities Of Iowa
which open and fragrant violations OF
law have at last stirred to action. 1t
has been the custom, and a pretty sem
sible custom, to leave cities and COM
munities to set the laws in motion in
the matter of liquor prosecutions.
Davenport and all the river cities
from Dubuque to the canal have been
notorious in open defiance of the mulct
law as they were of the prohibitory
the personal liberty Of the citizen to
step into a drinking place and get u
glass of beer but of the saloon keeper,
backed by the brewer, to keep his
place open until midnight or all night.
to furnish such attractions as in his
opinion might bring more custom, in
short. to sell more liquor and make
larger profit for himself and the brew
cries behind him. How many highly
respectable and decent residents of
Davenport feel the personal need of an
open saloon at midnight? Most decent
time and decency has no right to break
laws as it should have no right to
make them. Some prosecutions may
have been graft, but the movement
backed by Archbishop keane in Du-
buque is the same movement in DAY.
port in that 1t is only a demand for
decent, at least partially decent, OBJ
servance of constituted authority.
There is the point. The men who
are making the riot and filling the
Davenport streets with grooming and
mobs are backing defiant
violators of the statutes of Iowa. What
the men are who are conducting the
does not so much
ter The point is that they are on the
side of law and that their opponents
are on the side of disorder. The whole
matter may be settled and dismissed
in a minute by stricter observance of
the law on the part of the saloons
and the saloon interests. The crux Of
the whole matter is that the saloon
and the traffic it carries on, are ready
to defy the law whenever they see
for profitable immunity.

Now for a Corner on Hay.

(F'rom the Seattle (Wash) Times.)
With the view of controlling the
price of alfalfa hay and to insure
minimum price Of not less than IS a
ton, which is equivalent to $40 deliv-
cred, the ranchers of the Yakima VAL
ley are perfecting an organization.
Small produce associations formed in
the outlying districts are seconding the
movement. High prices paid for help
and bailing material are urged as thu
reason for the organization. OF the
present crop of hay practically none
has been marketed, dealers refusing to
quote prices at this time. The crop this
year is unusually large, but to offset
that fact, big demands have been made
by commission men. That the eff orts
of the ranchers to control prices may
be successful is rendered possible by
the ready sales that apparently await
all who have hay to offer.

danger that many counties in Iowa Will
be represented by democrats in the
next legislature as result of the "un-

waging on the primary law. BY de-

continues the Advertiser, they are
paving the way for a bolt should Cum
Minis win. 1t is the same crowd that
bottled the republican ticket last year
that is preparing to bolt again. If the
republican party in Iowa is to meet
defeat it will be upon the heads of
these leaders and newspapers"

opinion that "in the primary Cum

such a compromise might appeal with

"There is almost as little excuse for

in connection with the senatorial cam

for the republicans of Iowa to recog-
niZe that sentiment which accords UNI
usual honor to the veteran leaders who
have given exceptional service, by
keeping Senator Allison in the place
to which he has given the work Of his
life as long as his health permits him
to fill it. But it is the privilege of
Governor Cunmins or any other fit
man to decently aspire to such po-
