The Truth About pietz.

Minneapolis Journal The public's
sympathy for the besieged John Dietz
and its resentment against the meth
DDS of Sheriff Madden and his deputies
are entirely natural. The public's
sympathy always goes out to the un-
der dog, and the odds against Dietz
are so great that the tendency is to
make OF him sort of hero, brave
and defiant in the face of unheard-of
persecution.
This tendency has been greatly fos
tered by the inexcusable mistake OF
the sheriffs deputies in shooting
down the Dietz children. The depu-
ties were too quick with their trig-
ger. They had been taught to think
of Dietz and his sons as great gun
fighters, ready to start the leaden
hail at the drop of the hat. They
thought it necessary to fire first, if
they were to effect capture. And, as
matter of fact, both the boys were
armed with automatic revolvers. Yet.
even under these conditions, the
wounding of the daughter caused a
storm OF public criticism against the
/ deputies.
There is one thing that ought to be
kept in mind however. That is that
/ John Dietz month ago shot and
wounded man with whom he had an
/ alteration. Somehow the public. or a
large part of it, has got the idea that
the present measures to arrest Dietz
are part of the old controversy over
/ the logs above Cameron dam. In that
controversy Dietz was fighting cor.
poration for his little all The whole
countryside sympathized with him in
his fight. He succeeded in preventing
the serving OF papers on himself and
in coming out ahead in the end. This
was a case where property rights
were involved. There was no crime
calling for action on the part of the
states peace officers. Dietz was toe
4 much for the lumber company, ano
that was the whole story.
But no one should confuse that ole
controversy with the present situa
ion. This was dispute over the rem
tai of a building for school purpose!
owned by Dietz. IN the course of tina
dispute Dietz shot Horel. 1t is true ht
claims that it was in self-defense
and that the affair was a sequel o
the old controversy. These, however
are matters properly to be tried GU
in court.
The plain fact is that Dietz ough
to submit TO arrest and trial like an,
other citizen accused of crime. If b.
cannot get a fair trial in Sawye
county, change of venue can easil,
be arranged If he has no money TO
counsel, there will be plenty avail
able TO see that he is ably defended
: Public sympathy with Dietz based OF
the theory that he is prosecuted an
abused is, to this extent, misplaced
2 He ought to be on the same basis a
2 any other itizen-accountabIe to tn
: law for his acts.

THE HITCH RACKS MUST CO.

There is a movement in the small
Iowa towns, supported by the state
board of health, TO abolish the time
honored hitching post. The demand is
that the horse must go, or get off the
streets. in the interest OF the public
health The claim is made that the
accommodations about the posts are
ground into dust under the hoofs and
wheels of street traffic and blown by
the wind into the stores where food
is sold. with a considerable consump-
ton OF It with food and air, and that
there is no way to avoid save by
abolishing the posts as nuisance.
Ihfantile paralysis is thought to get
its inception very largely from dust
emanating from the offal of animals.
In bulletin just sent out by the
state board OF health it is declared to
BE the duty of local boards 70 see to
Il that sanitary conditions are main
tanned. and if the hitching posts
make conditions otherwise there is no
alternative but TO order their removal
Already number OF Iowa towns have
taken steps 10 eradicate the evil OF
the public hitching post. in some
towns there are ordinances which
prohibit any person from permitting a
horse to stand in any public street
more than thirty minutes. And in 9TH
or towns there are regulations which
make it incumbent upon persons to
put horses in barns or in private
hftching yards where they win be

a sauare peal for Mr. BLOOD.

Donnellson Review: Politics Is a
great game, but we like to see 1t
played fair During the early part
Of the campaign Mr.. W. C. Blood. Re
publican candidate for district Judge,
covered the county pretty thoroughly
posting up large placards announcing
his candidacy. We are Informed that
in this section a great many of these
cards have been torn down Whether
this action has any political signifi-
canoe or whether It was the work Of
thoughtless boys. we do not know,
but in either case It Is not square
deal. and we do not believe that the
better element of either party would
for moment countenance any such
ways.
Further, we are informed on good
authority, that conflicting statements
regarding Mr.. Bloods attitude on the
liquor question have been circulated.
The liberal element Of both parties,
those who believe in the licensing and
regulation of saloons. have been told
that when Mr.. Blood was county at.
torney he fought the saloons; that he
was church member and Y NJ. c.
A. man, and would be against them at
every opportunity. While those who
believe that nothing but absolute pro
hibition will settle the matter, have
been told that he would not prosecute
the saloons when he was county at
torney.
What are the facts? When he was
county attorney he prosecuted saloon
cases that were brought in good faith

A BALLAD OF THE CORN.

A BALLAD OF THE CORN.
Oh, the undulating prairies,
And the fields of yellow corn
Like million soldiers waiting for the
fray.
Oh, the rustling of the corn leaves
Like distant fairys horn
And the notes the fairy bugles seem
to play.
I'VE have risen from the bosom
OF the beauteous mother earth,
Where the farmer ploughed his furrow
straight and long,
There was gladness and rejoicing
When the summer gave us birth,
In the tumult OF the dancing and the
song.
when the sumac turns to scarlet,
And the vines along the lane
Are garmented in autumn's golden
wine
Then the land shall smile for plenty,
And the toiler for his pain,
When the soldiers of our army stand
with our shining blades before US,
And our banners flaming far,
Want and hunger shall be slain for
eTermore,
And the corn fields lord of plenty
In his golden-covered car,
Then shall stop at every happy toiler's
door"
Oh, the sunshine and the beauty
On the fields of ripened corn
And the wigwams and the corn-rows
where they stand,
In the lanes hear the music
OF the family blowing horn,
And the blessed Indian summers on
the land

Secretary Sumner of the state
board is quoted as saying that the
reason that the state board puts the
power to act in the hands of the local
boards is that the state board is not
always in a position to know the con-

know better than the state board

SAN JOSE, Sept 10.--San Jose necks
exhibited an unwonted elasticity today
and eyeballs popped like hot corn when
in broad daylight young man of the
student type perambulated a masked
girl through the principal streets in a
wheelbarrow.
Women gasped at the spectacle, men
stared, the man behind" blushed rosy
red and the girl sat with head proudly
erect on her insecure seat in the strange
conveyance.
Curious youngsters formed a process
sion behind the pair.
The couple were first noticed in the
neighborhood of the Market street
depot in First street. They turned into
ST. James street and then went south
in Third. Between San Fernando and
San Antonio the single wheel of the
vehicle struck an obstruction and the
next moment the lady dove sprawling
full length on the sidewalk. She proved
plucky, for. in spite of a bruised pair
of palms, she Joined in a hearty laugh
at her own expense.
The young man was Frank Brown, a
student, and the young lady was Miss
Grace Schaefer, also a student. Brown
had bet that the young lady was afraid
to ride through the streets of the city
in a wheelbarrow from the railway sta
ton to her home, "a Grant street, a
mile distant.
Tonight Brown is the host at a merry
little dinner party at the Lamolle
house
