as his own. Probably the best test OF
true love Of liberty In any country Is
the way in which mtnorities are
treated in that country. Not only
should there be complete liberty in
matters of religion and opinion, but
complete liberty for each man to lead
his life as he desires, provided only
that in so doing he does not wrong
his neighbOr. Persecution is bad be-
cause it is persecution, and without
reference to which SIDE happens at the
moment to be the prosecutor and
which the prosecuted. Class hatred Is
bad in just the same way, and without
any regard to the Individual who, at
a given time, substitutes loyalty to
class for loyalty to the nation. or sub
stitutes hatred Of men because they
happen to come in a certain social
category. for Judgment awarded them
according to their conduct. Remem
Der always that the same measure or
condemnation should be extended to
the arrogance which would look down
upon or crush any man because he Is
poor, and to the envy and hatred
which would destroy man because
he IS wealthy The Overbearing bru
tally of the man of wealth or power
and the envious and hateful malice d.
rected against wealth or power, are
really at root merely different mani
festations of the same quality, merely
the two sides Of the same shield.
The man who, If born to wealth and
power, exploits and ruins his less
fortunate brethren is at heart the
same as the greedy and violent dema
gogue who excites those who have
not property to plumber those who
have. OF one man in especial, be-
yOnd anyone else, the citizens Of re-
public should beware, and that IS OF
the man who appeals to them to sup
port him on the ground that he 1s
hostile to other citizens Of the repub-
elect him. in one shape or another,
profit at the expense of other citizens
Of the republic. It makes no differ
ence whether he appeals to class
hatred or class interest. to religious
or anti-religiOus prejudice, the man
who makes such an appeal should al
ways be presumed to make It for the
sake of furthering his own interest,
The very thing that an intelligent
and selfrespecting member Of a
democratic community should not do
is to reward any public man because
that public man says he will get the
private citizen something to which
this private citizen is not entitled, or
will crafty some emotion or anil

At yesterdays democratic congress

were adopted indorsing the candidacy
of l. S. Pepper of Muscatine for con-

Resolutions directed against the Iowa

resolution declared:
at is by proper legislation alone that
the great power of individual judges
TO grant injunctions without notice and
without hearing can be properly regu-
lated 1t is the law and not the courts
which promotes such practice and
takes away the sacred right of trial by
jury in every case where self-interests
and fanatical legislation seek to take
away the national and constitutional
rights of our citizens

of this question: From where must
be measured three marine miles of
any of the coasts, bays, creeks or har-
bors referred to in article 1 of the
American-British treaty of 1882"
Claimed Rights i'm Bays.
United States fishermen claimed the
right to take measure from any part
of the British North American shore,
and therefore the liberty to fish in the
middle of any Canadian bay or estuary
having a radius of more than three
miles The British contention was the
limit should be measured from an i'm
aginary line connecting the headlands.
The peace court sustained the British
contention.
Involves LOCAL Laws.
Point /, upon which Great Britain
was sustained, embodies the question
of whether local laws adopted by a
British colony must be submitted for
approval to any foreign power having
a treaty on a similar subject with the
imperial government, this point was
considered of great importance also to
the British, and their triumph will be
a matter of much satisfaction to
them.
Wins Some Concessions.
On the other hand, the Americans
win important concessions. They will
be enabled to employ foreigners in
their fishing and are not liable to light
house dues. They are not compelled
to enter their vessels at the custom
house. The words bays" "harbors"
and Creeks referring to Labrador in
the treaty of 1918, will also apply to
Newfoundland; American vessels when
fishing do not lose their right of trad

In nearly all the large cities there

venile offenders where treatment Is
given according to the individual mer-
its Of cases and not according to the
rigors of the law for adults
In some states adults are also treat
ed in this manner. We have given up
the old draconian spirit. A century
ago there were about 100 crimes in
England punishable by death. When
1t was proposed to raise the death
penalty for theft from five shillings to
ten 1t met with the most bitter op-
position in parliament and many men
Of supposed wisdom announced that
the country was done for. property
no longer safe and society incapable
OF caring for itself. We are now try
ing to treat crime in = two-fold man
ner. TO punish the offender and to
reform him 80 that he will not prey
upon the community SO soon AZ he
regains his freedom.
Especially is this necessary in the
case OF children. We must not give
dog 4 bad name, much less a poten.
tial citizen. The decision Of the New
York legislature is one that ought to
be generally followed. We need to
learn a great deal about criminology,
science which is Just now in its In
fancy.
