A WASTE OF PITY.

No doubt the commission to inquire
into conditions of life on the farm is
wise and worth while The subject is
attracting a great deal of attention and
bringing out much suggestion from
those who have least actual knowledge
| of the conditions and life of farmers
in the present day. AS is the case us
ually the class under investigation is
least concerned and least interested in
the commission and it's possible
achievement. However, there are
many. very many, who know very lit
| tie about farms and farmers whose
| hearts so out in pity to the down trod-
den agriculturalist
| To those who do know the middle
west farm and farmer the attitude of
these well meaning people-not the OBJ
| iect of the commissioners irresistably
comic because of its utter lack of foun-
dation in fact The middle west mer-
chant can not resist q smile when
he hears the anxious note in the
voices of suggestion raised for the
farmers benefit. He has been selling
farmers and farm boys the best cloth
ionable fabrics of the season, the
warmest furs and overcoats At for arc
tic exploration. For these he has been
paid by check. He expects a farmers
son to fill out check against his per-
sonal bank account and hand it over
in nonchalant payment fore the best
suit in the house. He sees farmers au-
tomobiles flash by; buys corn at Is
cents to feed his driving horse; visits
the farm home, where steam and fur
mace heat dispel the cold and rich rugs
adorn modern dwellings. Who can
blame him if he chuckles at the pitying
tone of those who imagine the farmer
on the bleak hillsides, wringing from
the stubborn soil Subsistence scant,
not competence and yet not want?" 1t
is funny.
When so many outlets for altruistic
enthusiasm and innumerable objects
for charitable endeavor exist perhaps
it might be well to leave the farmer
to suffer for the time while we direct
our pity and helpfulness toward 9TH
ers, whose need Is the more impera-
tive There exist so many abuses so
much of suffering, narrowed lives and
hopeless outlook that the commission
seems redundantly faddish. While
women fight for scraps above the swill
tanks of the great cities and children
want fire and food we may well afford
to shift pity and assistance from the
farms to the purlieus. The farmer
doesn't need it. He doesn't want it.
He lis independent in spirit and in
purse Lets turn the hose of our emo
lions toward the fire.

THE ARCHBjsHOP's MISTAKE.

Archbishop Hessmer, speaking to the
American Catholic Missionary Con-
gress yesterday, brought severe charges
against modern social settlements in
American cities. Some of his sharp
criticism was just and deserved no
doubt, some of it unjust and unde-
served He spoke fearlessly and with
out uncertainty as most Catholic pre-
lates speak when they deal with So
cial problems. However, it by no
means follows that he was correct in
his conclusions or entirely justified in
his statements when he classed the
settlements as breeding places Of So
cialism and anarchy"
No doubt some anarchy and much
socialism are bred in the settlements.
The natural trend of the awakening
mind under conditions of complete Cit
izenship is toward the extreme. 1t is
the settlements, saving certain restric-
tions. When men first begin to think,
formulate and desire, they often ar
rive at wrong conclusions, formulate
extreme theories and want most for
themselves and their class or order.
That is about what the young collegian
does; it is natural that the aroused
mental activity of the youth or man
under the stimulus of a new thought
and rebellious with the knowledge OF
his limited environment should do so.
However, the student finds balance
as he ripens. SO will the other. So
cialism of one kind or another will
grow. There is nothing in that to af-
fright us. 1t is one of the modifying
forces that shall have effect upon fu-
ture legislation and the attitude of in
tlividuals toward the common good.
Who expects socialism to be estab-
lished as theory of government is
doomed to disappointment. 1t will point
to many abuses in the present system
and result in human progress toward
nearer brotherhood and wider re-

WE NEED A Law.

Georgia has by recent enactment
abolished the system of hiring out to
contractors chain gangs of convicts to
be worked to death under unsanitary
conditions, badly fed and worse treated
in order that individual contractors
might coin an extra dollar out of their
sweat and blood. She has substituted
labor on the public highways, road
making, and counties will receive their
superintendent on demand Where
counties fail to ask for their appor-
tionment other counties may requistion
them as overs" and increase their
highway labor force. This is general
the new system is intended to work.
Already fifty-four counties have
made formal demand for felony con-
victs for road labor These counties
are entitled under the law to AS con-
victs as their apportionment. They
have asked for 1,437 overs" or would
use 1,9S5 convicts. One county entitled
to twenty-one, asks for 200; another
to which nineteen are due, wants
overs" enough to make up a 200 man
road force. The demand is for more
convicts than can be supplied.
1t is not easy to see serious fault in
the Georgian arrangement. The men
will be much better off out than in
prison as regards health and morale.
Their labor will be better expended
on public Improvements than If they
were employed by some contractor in
competition with honest labor making
an effort to keep out of prison and live
on wages. 1t is difficult to see serious
fault with the plan, officially, or as
concerns the convicts physically. es-
pecially as to short term men.
We in Iowa ought to have a law to
permit use of those convicted of felony
to Improvement of public roads. The
law should not stop at theft and COM
mon felony however. 1t should in
clude tramps, Migrants, habitual
lawbreakers and men who propose to
live without work.
Why doesn't some legislator earn the
gratitude of the state and establish a
reputation for progressive common
sense by introducing bill to cover
plain necessity?

PEDESTRIANS VS.. AUTOMOBILES

/ PEDESTRIANS VS.. AUTOMOBILES
Cedar Rapids Republican
] The following question has been
submitted for an answer:
| Il am about to cross a street, afoot,
in the distance some automobilist be-
gins to toot his horn. Am expected to
! stop and wait until thes man in the
car has used the street? Or, can I go
on, as I please?"
| Perhaps. this question should have
been submitted to a lawyer. This pa
Per can only give the questioner news
paper advice, not legal advice and
! newspaper advice is generally just
common sense advice.
In this way we would answer that
no one is bound to stop at the COM
! mand of an automobiles footing The
man afoot has just as many rights on
the streets as has the man with the
automobile. The man afoot can con-
tinue his pace across the street 1t is
the duty of the man in the automo-
bile to have his car under such con-
troll, as far as speed is concerned, that
he can stop it within the foot, at
street crossings No automobile has
right to run the street crossings at
breaknecl speed The driver is al
ways supposed to be in complete pos
session of his machine. If he is not in
| such possession and he mains or kills
any one at a crossing l1d is to that
extent guilty of the manning or the
numbering and he should be held
strictly to the extent of his liability.
The footing of the automobile horn
is misleading to some people. They
same rights as those possessed by a
railway train that whistles for a
crossing. But the railway train runs
in given place, on its own right of
way and on it's own tracks. 1t has
special rights and it is not compelled
to slack up for crossings 1t is the
business of pedestrians and others to
keep out of the way, to stop, to look
and to listen. before they venture
across the tracks.
But automobile drivers have no
such rights in the streets. They have
the same rights that pedestrians
have, and no more. 1t is their BUSH
ness to avoid others as much as it is
the business of others to avoid them.
Pedestrians can cooperate with auto
mobile drivers and, we think it is best
for them to do 80. But in many cases
it is CALLING to do so, for the drivers
surround themselves with superior
airs and act as if they were the own
ers of the streets and that people
afoot were intruders. With decent
man in the drivers seat there will
never be any trouble, but with
rough and overbearing fellow in that
place of responsibility. the matter is
entirely different One is willing to
stop and wait for decent man to
pass, but he is not disposed to do so
with another kind of a fellow.
