think of such methods.
The small loans made from MEM
bcrs Of the force is evidence of what
sort of discipline this reform Sheriff
must maintain over the police OF the
city--a city undergoing Reform.
The Supervisors Committee report
shows that the confidential money
raiser, Townsend, said the Sheriff re-
marked that he intended TO get out of
office soon, and wanted to make hay
while the sun shone, so to speak. We
are quite willing to give the Sheriff
the benefit of the doubt on this mat
ter. We have not his confidence In
his confidential agent.
Townsend and Apana. the trusted
agents of the Sheriff, have since been
expelled from the duties of office.
Judging him by the standards he
has set in dealing with these agents,
and giving him the benefit OF every
doubt in his own testimony, we be-
lieye that way down in his heart Iau-
kea, If he be the reformer he is repre-
scented, Is satisfied that he should
quit; get out; resign.
We still have, however, the record
of the 'rcformcrs" of Hawaii, ululat-
ing their little peans of praise for a
chief Of police who borrows money
from leading dive-keepcr of tho
rcd-licht district.
Malnlandcrs, honest in their ideas
OF reform, can easily conclude that
laukea may not be half rs bad as the
gang of hypocrites with which he Is
associated.

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

In all Of this enforcement wave"
hat is now sweeping over the county,
he public seems to have lost sight
one very peculiar condition Of af-
airs. very common in the very near
,ast. and that is, we have in many
asses elected officials, especially may
RS and sheriffs, because we know
hey would or would not enforce GER
ain state laws or city ordinances on
he statute books. In some cases can
'idates for such offices have publicly
tated as means to an end, l. e., 10
,cure votes for the office, that ii
lected they would enforce some men,
toned, particular law or ordinance.
Md many times candidates for office
rave had the public understand II
lected they would not enforce some
obnoxious city ordinance. In one Iowa
,ity a. candidate for mayor, allowed
t to pass uncontradicted a newspaper
tatement that if elected Mayor Blank
would not enforce the law against
public gambling houses. Not long
Ego in a small Iowa incorporated city
/, mayor was elected on the straight
'ssue on enforcing the ordinance Of
ows running at large. Not two weeks
,go the business men of ST. Paul IN
written communication asked the
,ttorney general not to compel the
mayor Of ST. Paul to enforce the 10
o'clock D. m. saloon closing ordinance
So that the law defying element in
Iowa and elsewhere has had at least
the shadow of an excuse for non-ob-
servance of certain laws and city ordin-
once. 1t is matter of common knowl-
,dge that today on the Iowa statute
BOOKS are many laws, "as dead as door
nail" So dead, so inert are they that
not even shyster lawyer will accept
fee to compel their enforcement.
Davenport and the river cities are not
he only law defying communities. In
one dry county in Iowa the county seat
observes the prohibition law. Three
miles from there is small town
where open saloons have run ever
since the prohibition law went into eff
feet. The mulct law there Is as dead
as the prohibition law. In another
"wet'' county. wet so far as
the 5000 city IS concerned
and dry in the little towns.
an open beer saloon runs regularly on
this plan. THE community does not
interfere as long as the saloon man
pays s35 month into the city treas
ury. Finally some preacher or tenn
perance man files an inform alton. The
grand jury takes up the case. he is in
dicted, convicted and fined $500 and
costs. This the saloon man cheerfully
pays, because he clears that and more
every week So he continues to keep
open saloon. knowing a second fine is
Impending, and when It comes, as It
does in the course of time, he again
pays his fine and quits the business.

facts are mentioned to show some con-

1t is also mentioned here as an argu-
ment In favor Of adoption in Iowa of
the Minnesota law giving the attor-
nAy general power to remove from Of
flee all mayors that fail to enforce the
laws Of the state. This law giving
such power to an encouragement
practically amounts to this: No
mayor shall sign city ordinance that
conflicts with state law, and all
mayors shall enforce state laws. The
other suggested law, giving the gov
ernor power to summarily remove
any sheriff for cause, aims to accom-
plish outside Of the cities the same
result, t. e., enforcement Of state laws.

TWO KINDS OF CLUBS.

Men are obliged often to go Ions
way about to accomplish purpose
This Is especially true where the pur'
pose is political in the sense that lows
standpat politics is political. Wher
headlines are needed, the basis upor
which to build is immediately looked
after and if no foundation exists the
standpat pioneers and pickaXe men ge'
busy. So in Scott county. Cummlns
is strong there. The Scott county
Teutons held to clean business like and
open administration of state onlce
Cummins furnished the goods to sup
.pjy the demand. Anti-Cummins SEN
timent failed to thrive. The seed sow'
by the eminent and active seedsmer
of the standpat faction failed to sprout
1t was stony ground for corporation
candidates.
If Scott could be estranged from
Cummins the anti-Cummins bandWag-
on might be considered fairly under
way. How to do it? The plan pre-
scented itself. Stop the Germans beer
raise row in Davenport. Lay 1t te
cummins and the progressives. If II
doesn't kill Cummins in Scott 1t VII
be a good enough Morgan to buiio
headlines over So a scheme OF law
enforcement proceedings was unuer-
taken, planned and promoted by men
whose attachment, either by sympa-
thy. politics or profit, was we'll un-
derstood to be with the classes 1t. con-
tdemned 1t raised a row to attract at
tention. The governor did his Of
fetal duty as he has always done
without consideration of his political
future. The batteries of crime soaked
Council Bluffs. Sioux City. ct al, were
turned on their sister city of Dav-
export. When the row was at us
height the political workers got busy
with the formation of an Allison cinb.
Then the standpat press immediatei!
counted Scott in the anti-Cummins
column and broke out in vociferous
headlines, An Allison club had been
managed in Davenport. Ergo there
isn't Cummins vote in Scott coun-
ty.
However, when Scott county's vote
is counted the result will be as In last
gubernatorial campaign. when the as
surance that Cummins would be over
whelmed was answered by the voters
at the polls. The scheme to find hooks
to hang headlines on is one thing
The votes are another.

ARE WOMEN LIARS ?

Chicago women are much aroused
over the statement coldbloodedly maze
by Col. James Hamilton Lewis to the
effect that all women are potential
nariurers and without conception OF
the sanctity Of an oath. Leading Chl-
"a go women are now offering inter-
views calculated to bring dismay to
the masculine soul.
Is 1t true? Not more so than OF
men. Perhaps were any old practi-
toner in courts to unburden his Sc
cret thoughts he would incline to the
belief that men are pretty potential
in perjury and lie on the stand with
a facility that argues strongly for the
original sin theory. Courts hear .
great deal of hard swearing. 1t ID
easy to lie in horse trade or law
suit: and it is easy to be mistaken.
No two ever see the same occurrence
thru the same eyes or remember the
same incident with like fidelity to facts
A man reputed to have been wise
said long ago in his haste that all men
are liars. He had had little experiences
Of his own that probably assisted him
to come to this conclusion, for David
was no better than he should be- 9th
er men since his time have Endorsed
the psalmist's assertion. But neither
he nor they were right. Not all men
nor all women are liars and perjurers.
Not by vast majority.
This was lawyer talking to law
students, who put the perjury brand
on women. He had no doubt tried d.
9yorce cases where women Ned for
liberty or for one reason or another.
Perhaps some of these Ihad been his
clients. If so, he knew pretty well
what lies she was going to tell. Doubt
less he had dealt with the expert Wit
ness" in cases where expert evidence
finds a market. If so he probably
knows what he wanted in the line OF
testimony and where he bought 1t.
But if he went to the market for evil
dence, if he prohted to the winning
of case by the potential female
perjurer, this gives him no foundation
to assert that all women are perjurers.
Since he has kept bad company 1t
does not follow that decency does not
exist. Libertines profess to believe that
virtue is non existent; thieves, that
all men steal, but the thief. the liber-
tine and the lecturer are all wrong.
If they We're right, God might destroy
the world II he did not it would rot
of its own corruption.
1t is bad view to take, a bad view
and false. When men lose their conf
dence in mankind they have lost con-
fidence in themselves. No one holding

THE FENCE POST PROBLEM.

Can forty rod row of willows be
made to supply posts to keep the
fences of a 100 acre farm in good re-
pair? Experiments upon soft woods
willow included. seem to indicate that
at slight cost for plant and chem
cals the "willow hedge" may be made
one of the most valuable aSsests of the
farm. 1t is now asserted that fence
posts of many kinds of cheap woods
which ordinarily would soon decay If
set in the ground can be made to last
for twenty years by simple treat
ment with creosote. Most Of the So
called inferior" woods are well adapt
ed to the treatment. and this Is es-
pecially true Of cottonwood, aspen,
willow, woods that grow freely in Iowa
When properly treated. these woods
outlast untreated cedar and oak. which
are becoming too scarce and too much
in demand for other uses to allow OF
their meeting the demand for fence
posts.
mpregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduce
ton of the open tank which can be
installed at cost of from $50 to $ao,
or much less if an old boiler is used.
A tank with a bottom IL square feet
in area will suffice for treating 40 or
10 6-inch posts a day, or double this
number when two runs per day can
be made. The absorption of creosote
per post is about as follows: Eucalyp-
tus. one-tenth gallon: willow, two
tenths gallon; sassafras. ASH hickory
red oak, water oak. elm, and maple
four tenths gallon: Douglas fir, Quak-
I'M, aspen. and black walnut six
teiths gallon; sycamore, cottonwood
and lodgepole pine. seven -tenths gal
lon. The price of creosote approx
mates 10 cents per gallon in the East
ard middle west Thus the cost of
treatment per willow post would be
somewhat under cents apiece for
chemical labor. etc.
This is worth trying. If the willow
can be made to last in the ground TO,
twenty years or near that time, 1t is
the cheapest post attainable' in thu
middle west.

such views of life and humanity can
benefit the world. The great things
have come OF the justified faith OF
those who looked for good and found
it. To say that all women are per-
iurers is to Islander our wives and
mothers and indict every woman child
living and to be born. In sober self
catechism few men can coincide IN
such a charge against sex or man
