THE TRImBLE MURDERER.

The country has been hoping and
confidently expecting that the murderer
of Trimble would be quickly appre-
hended. The criminal is however still at
large and 1t seems entirely possible that
he may escape altogether.
1t seems impossible that he should
escape or that he could remain even so
long as he has outside the grasp of the
officers. With the entire country net
work of telephone wires, with every Of
ficer and every citizen and school child
anXiously on the watch how could the
man thread his way thru thickly set
tied country, In and out of towns and
escape detection? The search has been
close, every stranger is a suspect, but
the man who shot down another in cold
blood has disappeared as tho the earth
had swallowed him.
Is it possible that another murder
mystery is to be added to that OF Hart,
of the Anna Weiss murder and the bru-
tai killing of the Great Western brake
men which took place few years ago?
Here are three brutal and mysterious
assassinations for which none has SUI
ffered and where the crime has not been
brought home to the perpetrators Is the
unprovoked killing of Trimble to be
written on the roster of the failures
of justice to find It's mark?
Let every effort be put forth and no
leaf that might shelter crime be left
undisturbed Put out the dragnet far
and wide Somewhere the murderer of
Trimble covers and waits the officers
of the law.

k1Rn,s REASON FoR kERNs DEFEAT.

John W. Kern, Bryan's running mate
and defeated candidate for senator
from Indiana, says he was defeated by
the brewing interests of the state and
serves notice on the brewers that the
fight is on for the enforcement of the
LIQUOR interests from the democratic
party. Mr. Kern is careful to deny that
the fight is to be personal and one OF
reprisal "but absolutely for the benefit
of the democratic party" He goes on to
explain that his defeat was the OUT
come of a long series of manoeuvres
by brewers managers; that B. T..
Shively, while a man of fine abilities,
had been their friend and attorney on
several occasions, during several leg
islatures had looked after their inter-
ests, and at certain banquet it had
been determined that he should be the
next senator from Indiana whenever
the legislature should be democratic.
The people of Indian are not likely to

in democracy, but his proposal to cast
out the brewers association will not
be met with great approval by the
practical politicians in the Indiana
democracy. 1t is as tho he proposed

contributions, of public inquiry and
publicity These will help some; back
of him he will have the growing move
ment for greater restriction, of the
brewers and distillers' privileges.
There is going to be lively time in
Indiana unless the brewers find a II s
office for John W. Kern and find it
quick.

MULcT TAX AND POOR MAN.
dubuque Times-JournaD

Dubuque TlmeS-J Ourna)
To Elk Governor Garst's recommen-
dalton that the mulct tax be increased
to $1,000 and the extra 5000 placed in
the road fund there is local objection
on the ground that this would further
restrict the saloon business and destroy
the poor, mans club, forcing him to
do his drinking, If any, at home.
The more this objection is urged the
stronger the recomm endation will ap-
pear In the eyes Of the legislature.
That body is looking for the plan which
will reduce the liquor traffic to the
minimum and remove the temptation
the poor mans club throws in the way
of the wage Garner whose family needs
the proceeds of his weeks work.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that the
poor mans right to keep or patronize
a saloon is better than the legislatures
right to protect the interests of society
in general. Poor or rich have no
right superior to the general welfare.
The poor mans club makes countless
thousands mourn. 1t has brought mis-
cry to its victims and to their wives
and children. parents, brothers and
sisters The $1,000 tax would not wipe
1t out, has not done so in other COM
munities in which the present rate is
$1,000 or higher, but If it would do SO
it's power in this direction would be
its chief recommendation.

poor mans club proposition is the
veriest rot and is scarcely advanced by
any one who knows what the poor
mans club amounts to except those
who profit by the miseries of the liquor

that it will limit "the poor mans club.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMITTEES.

[Sioux City Tribune.]
Government in the United States
ceased years ago to be by deliberative
bodies-do we not have Tom Reeds

a government by committees. 1t was
designed to be government of pub
licity. Proceedings, debates. decisions.
were to be public. The Congressional
Record was established and printed
40 that the people might know what
their men in congress were doing; so
that the light of day would shine In on
them And, inevitably, as business eX-
panded and congress. the house espec-
tally, grew unwieldly in it's member
ship, more and more the real work was
done in committees. And quickly those
who find profit in shaping legislation
came to appreciate the value of the 81
lence of the committee rooms.
Some time ago the Tribune, discuss
ing this condition, suggested that the
publicity given to proceedings IN open
sessions be extended to the commit
tees: that stenographers report COM
mittee work as they do that of house
and senate and that the reports Of
committees be printed in the Con-
gressional Record. That there is APP
preciation of the need of this expan-
sion or publicity is indicated by the
editorial Turn On the Light" in the
second issue of LaFollette's magazine.

senator himself. "Practically all legis-
lation is made by committee 1t says.

PROPOSED SCHOOL LEGISLATION.

The legislature has a serious ques-
ton on its hands in the matter OF
reorganization of the school laws Of
the state, how serious does not ap-
pear at first sight. It is question
upon which much feeling exists and
where bad blood lies close to the sur
face. Any one who talks with farmers
and patrons of rural schools in their
sternly, for and against school consoli-s
dalton. and with a very vigorous and in
many instances resentful feeling. The
rural school, the farmer as
serts, are his own; he should
be permitted to conduct them
under such plans as he chooses, and
as seem to him best and most adapted
to what he considers his own need.
The advocates Of centralized schools
will be asked why city men insist on
interference with the district schools.
Eve don't assume to have anything to
say about the city school; why should
q bunch of high school men and city
patrons attempt to run ours?" is q
question that is pretty sure to be asked
by the opponents 81 Capitalization Of
which there are many, the anti
centralizationists being in the majority
in the rural districts. It is a ques-
ton whether they are most influen-
tial.
/, It is not at all likely that the rural
school system will suffer such shocks
as the ti-consolidationists are pre-
pared to receive and oppose. Certain
reorganization there will be because
it is the concensus of opinion among
educators that Reorganization and
modernization are plainly necessary,

1t is expected that the legislature will

empting moneys and credits from tax
aticn There is only one practical way
of approaching this proposition from

open to conviction No legislator should
on mere assumption take a step so
serious in its bearings. There seems to
be a good deal to the claim that only

reached by the assessor. There are rea-

NONE FOR DRY COUNTIES.
[lowa City Republican,


The Republican believes that 1t
would be a good thing to increase the
mulct tax to $1,000 or even $1,000, but
it is opposed to any part going to the
state. Two-thirds OF the counties of the
state are dry, and why should they
have the benefit from the taxation of
saloons? If saloons are the terrible
things the drys try to make appear,
then tho sin OF license, or taxation, or
whatever it may be called, should not
be put on their heads. The communi-
ties that have saloons think, or ma
jority do, that 1t is better to have
mulct saloons than to have joints and
whisky drug stores; they should have
the money that comes from taxation.
If the mulct tax is doubled, then the
added sums should go equally to coun-
ty and towns.
