DIES MONIES "FEMALE FOOL y

Under the caption, female FOOLS
the Des Moines Capital pays its re.
spects editorially to the Des Moines
women who have libeled their sex by
the attentions they sought to show
Junkin, the depraved brute who muir,
dered Clara Rosen.
The editorial Is produced herewith
in full:
At first we refused to believe that
any considerable number Of women
would visit the Polk county Jail with
the expressed desire to see Junkin,
the colored degenerate, charged with
the murder Of Clara Rosen of Ottum.

the beast which they were particularly
anxious to see was not on exhibition.
One would think that women would
want to go as far as possible in the
other direction instead Of yielding to
a morbid sickening curiosity to look
upon the reptile in human form whose
hanging is only deferred until few
preliminaries in the name Of justice
are arranged.
The climax of this sort of idiocy
would seem to have been reached in
requests for the privilege of sending
fruit and flowers to the brute.
The Jail authorities show good sense
in barring all criminals of the Junkin
stripe from the public gaze. Otherwise

STATE INSTITUTIONS
 OPEN WEDNESDAY,

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The state in- stitutions, the Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute and the State School for the Blind, open next Wednesday, and the chances are the attendance will be much smaller this year than last. At the blind school the attendance will be about 120. It was 165 last year, and the cut removed 52, but about 15 new pupils were admitted afterwards, which will make the number more than was first estimated
 Superintendent s. D. Lucas is of the opinion the school will have a very prosperous year in spite of the reduc- tion in the allowance for the institu- ton. He says the school will be filled with workers and better results can be obtained with them. When the reduction in pupils was made" says Prof S. D, Lucas, we cut out all but the pupils who are totally blind, The finances of the institution would not permit the taking of children for treatment. We are now receiving a number of letters from the parents of children we expected to have back this year, stating they cannot come as they cannot afford to pay the railroad fare and supply clothing during the term. Heretofore the state has furnished railroad fare and clothed the chil- dren. The pupils who really come for work are not finding the restrictions of the school burdensome and are coming back. The pupils We lose are the ones which have become accus- toned to having the blind school for a home and nothing more. The parents sent their children here to have them clothed and fed eight months of the year. Now that they have to clothe them just the same, the parents are
 going to keep them at home and the school loses none of the pupils who want to learn. l expect great things from the school this year, and believe Governor Donaghey in his reduction, has helped the school rather than low cred it's standard We have sacrificed quantity for quality in the pupils"

LOOKING BACKWARD.

EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMoCRAT:
 I clip the following from the Log Cabin Democrat of September 28:
 "1njured by rolling log, mistreat- ed, as he alleges, by a physician under contract to treat him at the Good Samaritan hospital in Wash ington state, and claiming reimburse ment as the result of such medical mistreatment, Ole B. Susort, an Oka- hogan reclamation service employe at Concully, Wash, has been advised that he has no redress from the gov ernment.
 "A person who enters into a con tract with the United States provides for the performance of a service by one of it's agents must be presumed to do so in recognition of the we'll known rule of law that the United States is not liable for the negligence of it's employees holds the comptrol- Ter of the treasury.
 "'The United States does not un- dertake responsibility for lack of skill or negligence of agents that it em- ploys under the contract. The dam ages, if any, arising from negligence or lack of skill cannot be paid by the government. The wrong, if any, was committed by the agent of the govern ment and not by the government. y
 In the code of Hammurabi, the Ba- bylonian king, who resigned about TOO years before the days of Moses, I find this law:
 If a man practice brigandage and be captured that man shall be put to death If the brigands be not captured, the man who has been robbed shall, in the presence of God, make an itemized statement of his loss and the city and the governor, in whose province and jurisdiction the robbery was committed, shall compen- sate him for whatever was lost"
 This law clearly makes the govern mert responsible for the protection of the highways, and the safety of the property of all travellers. There must
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-10-01

have been a much more thorough po- lice system under Hammurabi than we have now, and much higher ideal of civil service.
 In this connection, let me give an other item which will interest your readers It is the law to prevent dis orderly conduct in a wine-shop.
 If outlaws collect in the house of a wine seller, and she do not arrest those outlaws and bring them to the palace, the wine-seller shall be put to death
 Now when we reflect that the Baby lonians had no intoxicant but wine, and that the wine-shop was under such regulations, is not our modern standard of temperance and order far lower than was theirs?
