ANOTHER CASE AT oTTuMwA.

otrumwa is busy cleaning house,
The latest development in the public
sanitation of that city and Wapello
county is demand on the sheriff that
he resign. Il is asserted that he has
been drunk and consorted With a pros
titute. According TO press dispatch
es he pleads 70 remain in office until
after the present term OF court is end
ed: it is further stated that the demo-
cratic central committee some time
ago found it advisable TO call the sher-
if before it for adznonition over his al
legged acts. Sheriff Jackson is reported
to be busily consulting attorneys as 10
whether he had best resign or take his
chance under the Cossor laws.
Here is another case not 10 be tried
in advance but in which the alleged
plea of the defendant 10 remain in Of
fee for few days longer will not con-
yey a general impression Of innocence.
To those who read me news stories Of
the case the impression given Is the re-
verse. It looks as tho the serif Of Wa
pello were facing hard times.
If the allegations are rue and can
be definitely proved the sheriff should
not have an opportunity TO resign but
should be removed by law as an exam
pie for future sherirs, and OF the eff
eacious workings Of the enactment
which covers his case. If the man has
been guilty Of the vile conduct alleged
he has neither sympathy nor charity
coming but plain punishment. It Is
time that drunkards and "chasers'
were denied the unwritten right 70 rep
resent law and order.

Dave Palmer has worked the old

more while he has been the incarnation
OF machine politics. He is VIGOROUSLY

as the publics watchdog to express

Dave was the man who handed out the
passes for political purposes just as
tho he was retained by the railroads
as their commissioner. Any old SOL

cHicAGO's NEW FOURTH.

Chicago claims to be the birthplace
of the sane Fourth. That city has
Sane Fourth Association. The claim
is made that il was thru the eff
forts of this organization that the
country at large first had its attention
arrested by the insane manner in
which the Fourth Of July was being
celebrated. First a medical journal
and later the daily press of the Windy
City. took up the work of compiling
and publishing Fourth of July casualty
statistics. This had the desired effect.
1t started the people TO thinking and
left hem with a sense of horror at the
useless sacrifice Of life. Everywhere
1r1oce rational and less expensive ways
Of celebrating the nations natal day.
Now Chicago comes this year with
full Pledged sane Fourth, in prospect.
First of all. Chicago has an ordinance
forbidding the sale OF the more danger
our kinds Of Fourth of July material.
and the Sane Fourth Association has
seen TO il that this ordinance is en-
forced. The reformers recognized all
along. however, that repressive meas
ures would not suffice. There must
be something 10 take the place of the
old Fourth. So. this year. for one thing.
they are going to have the greatest
parade Chicago ever saw. II Will be
led by 5000 regular soldiers, and other
participants will include the Illinois

CARNATIONS. school children. singing So
cie1ies. men in costume depicting the
military epochs of our history and del
egations of 1000 or more from differ
ent nationalities now represented in
Chicago's population.
The big event will be the opening
OF a military tournament II which the
5000 troops will participate and which
viii continue for several days. For the
drills and maneuvers an arena has been
provided that VIII accommodate 10000
people The soldiers will be ii the city

OF course. not every community can
have a detail Of 500 Of Uncle Sans
troops 10 help il celebrate the Fourth,
but the Chicago Fourth, as planned,
would be a big affair without this mill
tary adjunct. ard what Chicago can do
can be done by other cities on a pro-
portionate scale. Each community can
have its own celebration Of this kind
Plenty OF music ard speechulaaing will

wherever the plan is adopted.
This sane Fourth movement, be III
said in passing. is one of the hopeful

4 strange coincidence came TO light

A DEBATABLE QUESTION.
Davenport Democrat.


IN the long run which Of the two
great national undertakings VIII pay
The better the Panama canal or the ir
rigation work? This is an instructive
question for the debating society to
discuss, because there is 50 much that
can be said on each side. no one can
tell within millions Of what the water
way across the isthn1us will cost by
the time it is ready for boats to pass
thru. There is more of a certainty
about the outlay for the projects TO
furnish water. In one practical sense,
the reservoirs, bitches, etc, for water
cost the government nothing, since he
buyers of land repay the expense. But
the chief Of the reclamation service
says that work will exceed in expense
the cost of building the canal. Both
are national measures that will add to
wealth and power. An opposition has
ceased.

TRIBUTE TO GREAT WRITER
Japanese Accords Deserved Honor to
the Memory of Good Friend
Of His Race.

We japanese have been regenerated
by Hearn's sudden magic, and bap-
tized afresh under his transcendental
rapture; in fact, the old romances
which we had forgotten years ago
were brought again to culver in the
air, and the ancient beauty which we
buried under the dust rose again with
a strange yet new splendor. He made
US shake the old robe of bias which
we wore without knowing it, and he
gave us sharp sensation of revival.
However. what impressed us most
was that he was a striking figure Of
protest He wrote to Mr.. Otani:
While this rage for wasting time in
societies goes on there will be no new
Japanese literature, no new drama,
no new poetry-nothing good OF any
kind. Production will be made impos-
sible, and only the commonplace
translation of foreign ideas. The
meaning of time, the meaning Of
work. the sacredness o literature. are
unknown to this generation" He was,
indeed. the living proof Of the power
of solitude with which he tried to
master these problems, and with
which he succeeded.-Yone Noguchi,
in the Atlantic.

There is good deal Of uneasiness
in many sections Of this state lest the
the census returns fail TO show that
our boosted boosting has really boost
ed. At least so far as population is con-
cerned. Everybody knows that Iowa
has been lending q strong boosting
hand 70 the regions Of chsap per lands
and that in the process thousands Of
Iowans have left the state. Hence it
will not be surprising if in many To-
calities the population is found to be
expressed by smaller figures than those
required in 1900. In fact this might
be true OF the whole state.

COUNT THE COST.

In this season of the letting Of, pay
ing contracts in many an Iowa city ii
would be well for city councils 70
pause and contemplate recent court
decisions as to the rights Of corner lot
owners and the liability of the city for
paving costs in excess Of actual benz
Z fits. For years in Iowa il has been the
custom to assess the fun amount Of
the paving expense per foot Of frontage
to the abusting property and call the
( special benefit 70 the property by rea-
son of the paving exactly that amount
as determined BIZ the front foot rule
of paving cost. However, few years
ago this was resisted by owners Of cor
ner lots in several Iowa cities and af-
ter few court decisions supported by
supreme court decisions IN other states
new rule has been established.
Inside lots with only a narrow end
abutting a pavement can still De as
sessed for the full amount OF the
pavement on the front foot rule as be-
ing benefited that much when the
street is paved but corner lois which
are frequently paved on the sixty feet
frontage and again along aside vary
ing in length from $50 70 $50 feet are
not to be considered as benefited by
four times as much as inside lots and
the full amount Of paving IS not 10 be
assessed 10 them.
District courts al Fort Dodge and
at MarshalEown have held that
corner lots with exceptionally val
a1able residence buildings on them can
be assessed for the full amount Of the
paving on the front and again on the
side for an amount equal to the front
when the lot was considered as turned
around to face the other street. This
an effect establishes a principle that
corner lots can be assessed for double
the amount assessed TO inside lots but
that not to exceed one half the cost of
the paving on both front and side can
( be taxed TO the property owner. The
city must pay the other half.
With four corner lots to the block
and twelve blocks to the mile a city
/. council ordering four or five miles of
street paving had better look little
OUT as to where the public funds are
to be obtained with which to pay from
s 81. 200 to $1,000 for corner lot paving
In each of fifty or sixty city blocks Of
s paved streets.
However, expensive as the new rule
makes street paving for the municipal
ify. it should not be permitted to dis

the new principle is sound and right.
Streets are for public use the same as
are sewers, water mains and fire de-
