UNIFORM STATE LEGISLATION.

Next January there will be held i'll
Washington convention for the puc-
pose Of promulgating plans for uni
formity in state legislation. That is
one of the necessities of this nation
and the attempt should be. encouraged
in every possible way
A uniformity of state legislation will
do much toward lessening the necessity
Of the application of federal authority.
1t will increase the responsibility of
state legislatures and make their work
in fact cover much greater field.
The legislatures of the different
states must learn that an imaginary
line Is not a wall between states
When one state has measure before
its legislators, it certainly is the duty
of those legislators to find out before
making it law what bearing it has,
If any, for OF against measures al
ready in force in the states that bound
1t. This will require much study on
the part Of the state representatives
and senators, and those who do the
studying are the ones who will carry
their points in the making of laws.

REFORM in LEGAL PROCEDURE.

The need of reform in legal proceed
ure has been recognized by President
Taft and there Is reason to believe
that steps to this end will be taken
during his administration. The Bar
association in its national convention
also took note of this need and passed
a resolution favoring certain reforms.
The press has long been insistent that
something be done to remove the mass
of technicalities that are hedged about
the criminal law by the application of
sound common sense. Golfers, which
has been outspoken in showing the
need of reform, draws a comparison
between recent trials in England and
America to show how much better it
Is done abroad. 1t says:
I'VE spend years of time, infinity of
attention, thousands of the peoples
money, turning the trial of wealthy
murderer into a complicated game.
England last year settled a somewhat
similar case in just one day. This
year she took a small part Of single
day on the trial and sentencing OF
Madar Lal Dhinagri; she did it three
weeks after the murder; a few weeks
more saw the Hindu pass from earth,
and nobody pretends the result would
or should have been different if Eng
land had tied herself up with as many

STILL ABOUT THE TARIFF.

'JGst what are the conclusions of
the Tribune as to the tariff"-A. B.
Mavity.
We have discussed the tariff at such
length that We are unwilling to infiict
upon our readers all our conclusions
regarding the Aldrich law. Inter ALA
we offer the following:
/. That a tariff should be reason
ably protective.
2. That hte protection afforded by
the AlGrich law is about Is per cent
higher than is necessary
8. That the president did the best
he could.
A. That the Aldrich law as whole
must stand for years, but that the
country must send men to congress
not to misrepresent their constituents
but to study the effect of the law and
to reduce the schedules on the half a
dozen products which particularly al
feet the average consumer and which,
because of their widespread use, are
especially immune from foreign com

! DEFENSE OF The SPIDER.

writer in one of the magazines de
votes a half column to the spider and
makes two interesting statements
which should serve to raise this spe
cies some in the popular estimation
In the first place he says that there
never has been zone absolutely au
thentic case Of spider bite" The man
dibles Of the average-sized spider
he explains, are hardly powerful
enough to pierce the human skin and
all the poison contained inu an arach.
nid's glands, injected into the flesh OF
a human being, will not make as much
fuss as a respectable bee sting. More.
over, he says, spiders are not nam.
NAL blood suckers, and wouldn't bite
If they could.
His second interesting statement is
that sif it were not for spiders we
should all promptly starve to death. !
The magazine writer admits that this
may seem a little startling, but he
holds 1t is none the less. true. Ger
tain spiders, he says, in explanation
of his statement, prey upon certain
caterpi1lars, regularly inhabit their
abodes, and kill so many of them that
often whole colonies of the insects are
wiped out of existence. These cater.
pillars normally feed upon the leaves
of trees, bushes, and shrubs, frequent
ly entirely denuding a plant. If they
were plentiful enough to exhaust their
common food they would turn to the
weeds and grasses. Without check
of any kind they would overrun the
earth and destroy every green and
growing thing.
1t is time someone should come to
the defense of the lowly spider. With
most people the lest he gets out of it
is crushing under heavy boot heel.

Fremont Voters Meet. Sept. IS

Mt. Pleasant, Sept 4.-The third
annual meeting of the Fremont voters
Of the First congressional district of
Iowa will be held on Wednesday, Sept.
Is, in Mt. Pleasant. Last year the
meeting was held in Fairfield and was
one Of the pleaslntest events which
occurred there during the year. Old
gray haired men met and discussed
old-time politics and the people Of
Fairfield We're enthrsed for the old
timers who would soon be replaced
by their sons and grandsons, who
We're even then assisting in settling
the nations affairs without paying
much attention to the patriots who
had stood for right many years ago.

fool technicalities as afflict criminal
law in the United States. 1t is sad
thing for the. state to kill any human
being; 1t is sadder to kill one whose
act seems virtuous to himself; but as
long as such necessity exists in an i'm
perfect universe, it should be met with
certainty, gravity, and promptness.
The courts should deal seriously with
the evidence. not preside at a
spectacular combat between legal
gladitors and mercenary experts,
with the upper courts looking on,
ready to upset an unmistakably just
conviction il some clerk omits the
word the in an indictment or If some
judge goes astray On one of the num-
Derless immaterial instructions called
for by lawyers for the sole purpose OF
upsetting verdict by technical
slight-of-hand Mr.. Taft has led the
public to expect some reform of the
barbaric procedure which United
States courts and lawyers have con-
structed, and we look forward to the
day when our judges and juries shall,
like the English, deal only with the
fundamental law and with the evil
dence"
The Junkin trial furnishes an In
stance of the way we do it here. In
this case the murder was confessed
and tho confession was confirmed in
its minutest details by a wealth of
corroborative evidence. There was no
question of doubt here. The murderer
admitted his crime, his attorneys did
not attempt to prove that he did not
commit it, The Jury recommended
capital punishment and the court i'm
posed the sentence CT death. But the
law says the prisoner cannot be
hanged for year. Then attorneys
for the prisoner filed an appeal not
because they could produce any evil
dence to raise doubt as to the
prisoners guilt, but because of some
remark made by one of the prose
cutors in his remarks to the jury, some
technical objections to the courts rul-
ings as to the admission of evidence
and the instructions to the jury.
Technical Straightforward" in short.

PASSING OF SUMMER.

Denver Republican: One more week
of the resorts, of the popularity of the
summer gardens, the show places on
the city's rim, the public parks, then
Labor day and the opening of schools!
Two days more-this one and the next
and thereafter to wear straw hat
is to be viewed with suspicion. 80
fleet the'-you don't need to be told
the rest. Nothing was thought of it
when the downtown theaters threw
open their doors, but when the wind
begins to shower the maple leaves
over the sidewalk and the morning air
holds bite that makes one wonder
whether last winters will be good
enough, when the coal man begins to
drop his invidious suggestions about
when to lay in the supply, then must
the fact be admitted that the good old
summer time is packing it's grip and
getting ready to move south
Not but that the prettiest time of all
the year, according to what some folks
think, is yet to come. Did anybody
ever really enjoy wearing a straw hat?
1t comes as a malleshift and neces-
sity and can never be worn for itself
alone. Summer is necessary and
drops in as decided relief from what
has gone before it, but when man
wants to get the most out of life he
takes the season of the falling leaf the
crisp morning air, the autumn glow
and tints that suffuse all out of doors.
Suggestive OF the downward slope of
the hill of life, the ripening of the
years may be, yet also of the harvest,
of the battle won, oil the sweet stored
hive, of the reward and the balm of
injuries received.

of the years as it will is that not why

bring in the end what they may? And
Goes not the passing year bring that

as the years as whole bring their
harvest of that which is good to have

sweet sadness and the burden of it's

THE OUTLAW EAST,

The proud state of Missouri had
to stand for a lot of criticism back
in the days when the James boys and
the Youngers were lords Of the high
ways. The east was shocked by the
stories of lawlessness that came over
the wire and it's papers expressed for
chilly their indignation at the outrages
against the peace and dignity Of trav-
elers. But Missouri finally got the
outlaw gangs subdued and since then
1t has forged ahead wonderfully, 81
though it is doubtful if it has ever for
gotten the sting of some of the early
criticisms A recent occurrence in
the east, however, has given Missouri
its opportunity to retaliate, and the
Kansas City Journal is quick to en-
brace the opportunity. The Journal
in an editorial under the heading .'The
Outlaw East" says:
In many respects the west has
been very tolerant of those somewhat
crude and riotous states of the Allan
tic seaboard where culture and civiljz-
alton are still in the formative period,
but repression of criticism is no long
er virtue. 1t is with a keen sense of
ASSiSS SichI VIC llolS .llldt llldSheu OUT
laws are still pursuing their nefarions
calling within the shadow of such
staid colonies as Philadelphia and
Boston and that the authorities seem
powerless to apprehend them. While
the west is not all. of the United
States we feel that it may be Justly
said that the world at large looks to
us to promote those agencies of peace
and protection necessary for the prop
CT development of new continent
The last outrage against the peace
and dignity of travellers occurred the
other day when the Pittsburg express
was held up by single armed and
masked bandit. and the strong box of
the Adams Express company was
looted and the conductor shot 1t is
much to be deplored that the passen-
gers were "stood up in the train and
forced at the point of deadly wea-
pom to hand over their valuables while
the members of the train crew put up
only a feeble defense 1t was also
somewhat reprehensible that the vigil
lantes were SO long in reaching the
scene.
The east needs the capital and the
must grow under the fostering care CT
the west. All enterprises of that rich
but undeveloped section depend upon
the generous patronage of the west
Or strong young men must emigrare
to the east and our money must be
poured out in generous muniffcence If
the east can hope to keep pace with
the rans-Mississippi territory Many
of our most conservative old families
have heavy investments in the east
and almost all of our people are large
lenders of money to that section. The
east, then, must not be captious of
our insistence that life and properly
shall be made safe along the sides
of the Allegheny mountains. We who
encourage and laud the efforts of the
people of the east to emulate the good
order and security of the west have
deep concern in the welfare of the
eastern people. Until the east mani
tests its ability to establish security
of person and treasure and annihilate
those bands of marauding outlaws
