GIVES The COURT
REMOVAL POWER

Des Moines, Feb. 24-Senator Cos
sons removal bill, after having been
rewritten in such form that the re-
moval of officials for malfeasance in
office is to be accomplished through
the district courts instead of the gov
ernor, was voted out of the Judiciary
committee Of the senate yesterday aft
ernoon. This has been the subject of
much discussion since it's introduc-
ton, and Senator Quigley drew at
tention to 1t few weeks ago by his
declaration that should the bill pass,
Iowa would become the equal Of
Russia in the tyranny possible on the
part of the governor.
The removal bill is the third Of the
group of measures introduced by SEN
ator Cosson to bring about the enforce
ment of the laws relating to the sale
of'liquor and those prohibiting houses
of i'll repute and gambling houses In
many counties the disregard of these
laws is admitted by local authorities,
and these bills define the duties of the
sheriff and county attorney, then give
the district court the power to remove
officials Of county or city who neglect
those duties. The bill favored by the
committee by it's vote yesterday out
lines the method to be followed in
bringing about removal Of officers
When the governor shall learn Of
conditions meriting an investigation
he shall order the attorney general to
direct that action be commenced. The
attorney general has no option but to
follow the instruction, but these meas
ures need be taken only when the
county attorney does not file charges
of his own yolition. The bill provides
further that the case shall be tried
without jury and shall take pre-
cedence over other cases on the dis
trict court docket
Appeal may be taken to the supreme
court, where the bill provides for
trial without delay. The officer
charged with neglect of duty shall
stand suspended pending the decision
on the appeal, and may, in the judg-
ment Of the district judge, be suspend
ed when the charges are filed.
The state sheriff bill, which was in
troduced by Senator Cosson after
having been framed In the office of
Attoluey Ieuefdl byeFS, was DaQlV
treated in the judiciary committee yes
terday afternoon. Had vote been
taken, it is probable that it would
have been voted out for postponement,
but finally, after a long discussion Of
its points, the committee decided to
withhold action until Attorney General
Byers can be heard upon it. In ad-
dition to providing for a state sheriff
who shall have power to enforce the
| laws in any part Of the state, the bill
defines the duties of the attorney gen
eral and makes other provisions for
| the better enforcement of the state
laws when they are disregarded by
| local officials.

Scarcely do we begin to rejoice in
the sunshine when a shadow. comes
driving along enveloping our pathway
in gloom. And when it is gone some
one whom we loved has passed from
our midst. And then the sunshine is
dim to US because the vale of tears is
hanging In our hearts, and we go along
for while with heavy feet and
stumble quite a bit, until we begin to
see the silver lining to the cloud.
When the shadow falls across the
doorway it always comes unbidden,
and with a shock of surprise. We are
not expecting it. That Is the way it
death Of Miss Carrie c.. Dimmitt. And
the chill gloom settled down upon all
our hearts as we walked down into the
valley of the shadow and stood by
the river over which she had gone to
he eternal home. The heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire community is ex-
tended to the stricken family in their
hour of bereavement. And greater than
the sympathy of, friends Is the SYM
pathy Of the master as he bends over
the sorrowing hearts, face marred
by thorns and furrowed by tears.
