the call to something better. Then
he packed his furniture, rented his
160-acre farm in Story county and
enrolled as student at Drake uni

JUN e.


The editorial sanctum Of the Quincy
Herald houses a poetic SOUL While
other editors are writing of the tariff,
the foreign situation and other dry-as-
dust subjects he bursts into song
over June, the rarest of months, the
month Of orange blossoms and brides
and the sweet girl graduate. And
here is the result:
June, the rarest Of months, is
among us, SO let us summon our
muses. and attune our Tyres which
have so long been silent. The month
started out propitiously with one Of
those days on which the poet says
that earth tries heaven if it be in
tune, etc. Let us hope for more of
the weather that makes us thank June
that it comes so regularly but regret
that it is with us but thirty short days
Of every year.
June has several claims to fame
wholly peculiar to itself. 1t is month
of special charms and attractions, all
of them old as the calendar itself but
still fresh and sweet with each recur.
ring year. 1t is the month which
ushers summer into our warm-hearted
midst, and that alone is service
which merits our heartiest gratitude.
Then, again, June Is the month which
is owned heart and soul by the sweet
girl graduate. Shyly and demurely
but with the blessed assurance that
comes with a diploma and an ap.
preaching debut, she grills the robbers
in the trusts and shakes the tyrants
on their thrones. Clothed in the
filmy loneliness that only BELTS her
girlish figure, she's the sprite Of The
June time that makes life worth while
And June is the month of orange
blossoms and brides. The fires at
Hymen's affairs burn brightly, Welding
the chains for better or worse. Famed
as the month itself is the bride OF
June. May her numbers not decrease
and may she continue to gladden. the
month and keep it right at heart. An
me, what would June be without the
June bride!
June Is the month of the abundant
harvest. The waving fields become
heavy with the golden grain and ths
stanch stalks fall before the reaper's
blade. The fields are hives of sturdi
est industry and the wheat, the none,
of the middle west, is gathered into
the granary that holds more wealth
than the city's banks.
| The children yearn for June's ap
proach. Their year of trouble ends
The free and open out of doors, Gods
great gift to rich and poor, calls then
for three months of rollieking romp.
June's a great month, the Herald
minstrel concludes, and he adds thi.
advice: LET it warm with it's frs
days of the heated summer season
the cookies of your weakened heart
and let the rays of the sunshine Greer
into your soul"

A SUNDAY STORY.

Marshalltown Times-Republican =
Furthermore, I have walked and rid
den and driven about the streets Of
Marshalltown and have looked at the
homes of the rich and poor. My, you
have some beautiful homes around
here. Well, supposing | would say:
the rest of the time we are in Mar
shalltown." I'D get the expressman
to go for our trunks and I'd say:
Come on, boys, let's co."
We would drive up there with our
bag and baggage and I'd say to the
expressman, Come on, We'll help you
take the trunks up" "I'll take that
front room; the light looks good
there" The lady would come In and
say: "Who are you, sir? What does
this mean?" And would say: my
name is Sunday. How do you do? I've
looked at your home, and being struck
with It's beauty we have made up our
minds to stay here" If did thing
like that In your home I'd be no more
welcome there than Jesus Christ
would be welcome in your heart If He
forced Himself in there when you
didn't want Him. For me to be welcome
in that home 1 would have to go in re-
spouse to their invitation, and If they
didn't give me the invitation 1 never
would cross the threshold of their
home. Jesus Christ will stand and
knock, but If you want Him to come
in you have to open the door and in
vite Him. If you don't. He will never
cross the threshold. That's the rea
son he has been waiting outside I'M
til some of you men are gray hecded
He has knocked but you won't invite
Him in and He won't come in. Never
will He do it.

THE JuNkIN VERDICT.

There is general approval Of the
verdict in the Junkin MURDER case
It has been generally felt in this case
where the prisoner admitted his gun.
and his attorneys made the same al
mission, that anything less than SEN

carriage of Justice. Sentimentallsts

hut the majority of people Will con
tinue to believe that the protection
of society demands more OF punishment
and less of correction in dealing with
br,ltes of the Junkin type. Junkln was
not made criminal by his environ
ment. Other men brought up IN the
same environment have become valu-
able citizens in the community. But

nath and they accepted the burdens

There is a sermon in Junk1n's career.
The. Burlington Hawk-Eye looks
upon the Junkin verdict as refuta-
ton of the absurd cry of the laws
DELAYS. The cry was raised, 1t says,
that he would escape Judgment
through the laws delays, and yet the
brute has been sentenced to hang
within a few months of the commits
sion of the crime. The Hawk-Eye con-
tinues:
All the talk about the delay of the
law in this country is nonsense. The
records show few cases where the
evidence is unquestioned, that the law
did not promptly act. 1t is only in
the cases where there appears to be a
reasonable doubt of guilt in honest
minds that the law appears to be de-
layed. And that is one OF the safe-
guards which our legal system throws
about the individual, giving him every
chance possible to prove his innocence
Of the crime charged.
Many instances are known where
innocent people have suffered impris,
pnment or death because of hasty
legal action. The case of Glyndon is
believed to be one in point. There
was no positive proof against the man
But the community was incensed and
he was made to suffer. Those who have
studied his case feel sure that he was
wrongfully deprived of thirty-nine
years of freedom through the toe
hasty operation of the law.
Junkin's case was a practically Ger
tain one. He confessed his crime and
his past record showed him equal tc
the deed committed. There was little
doubt that he would be sentenced tt
hang, and the talk about the delay
Of the law was without real provoca
sion,as is shown in the speedy man
ner in which the brute has been tried
convicted and sentenced to the death
penalty.
