Massacre Will Be Pulled Off.

The claims of Abby Gardner Sharp,
sole survivor of the Spirit Lake mas
sacre, that the state fair board will
violate her copyright in reproducing
the massacre at the state fair next
fall, are not considered sound or suf-
ficient by Secretary Simpson of the
state fair board. He says the show
will go on as scheduled.
Mrs. Sharp has written book
about the slaughter at Spirit Lake,
and this book is copyrighted. She
contended in a conference with Sec
rotary Simpson that the state could
not put on the show without using
her book, and that unless she secured
royalties she would hold up the per
Torrance under her copyright.
Secretary Simpson asserts, howev-
er, that the state is not producing a
play on information gathered from
Mrs. Sharp's book.

advertised as Scenes in Iowa in From

DEATH RATE IN MAY |
Lower than Any Previous Month
During Present Year
DEATHS DURING MONTH 1,435
Records Filed With Or. Sumner, Reg.
istrar of Vital Statistics, Show
Falling off Of 200 in Number
for Month.

Des Moines, July 1.-THE Iowa
death rate for the month of May was
lower than for any other month of
the present calendar year, according
to the monthly death table prepared
by the registrar of vital statistics, DR..
Sumner. The total deaths in Iowa
during May were 1,435, which is 200
less than the lowest month heretofore
during the year. With the general
death rate decrease there was a con-
siderable decrease in the number of
deaths from tuberculosis in May as
compared with the number in April,
but the number in May exceeds the
number in the other months of the
year with the exception of April. The
total deaths from tuberculosis in
May was 1T. which is ten less than
for April.
The number Of deaths from organic
heart trouble was less in May than
any other month this year with the
exception of January, the total num-
Der being 1913. In January there were
only 1S5 deaths from this disease.
The death rate at the state institu-
tons was lower in May than for any
other month of the year, the total
number in the fifteen institutions be-
ing twenty-one. OF this number nine
were from the Iowa Soldiers home at
Marshalltown.
In January there were no deaths in
the Soldiers home, there were ten
in February, five in March, five in
April and nine in May. In every
month, with the exception Of Janu-
airy, the deaths at the Soldiers home
exceeded those at any other state in
stitution.
In May, as in the other months Of
the year there were more deaths
among them. Among the whites there
among the single ones, the ratio last
month being 63S married people to
494 single ones. The colored resi-
dents seem to have stood the month
better than any month during the
year, there being only seven deaths
anon gthem. Among the whites there
were 1,425 deaths. During the past
month there was not a death from
smallpox in the state.

IOOTI\G THE STATES
RESOURCES.

In the report of the state legisla-
tive investigating committee is to be
found another argument against state
conservation as opposed to federal
conservation. A new state in at
tempting to control the comparatively
small amount of land granted it on
admission to the union has been de-
frauded of millions of dollars by the
"loOsencss and laXitY'' of its land
laws and by the dishonesty, incom-
potency, and inefticiency" of those
charged with the location and control
of this property.
1t is conservatiVely estimated that
our public schools have been robbed
of $ll,o00,0OO by the choice of lands
under the school grants, which are
practically worth very little when the
richest lands of the state were at the
disposal of those in power, These i'm
mcnsc losses to the state and its
schools have served to increase the
millions of private corporations and
private individuals.
Nothing could make clearer the rea-

Superstition and Hallcy'S Comet

Why? Halley's comet!
We are all superstitious about one
thing or another, and all intOlerant of
the superstitions we don't embrace.
Those who believe in planting pota-
toes and cutting hair by the phases of
the moon. ridicule those who search
the field for fOur-leaf clovers. The

colored cook carry a rabbits foot in

are the same; manifestations alone
are different.
And superstition Should not be
confused with ignorance. The wisest
sage has his superstition, Just as the
most untutored child. In the last
analysis it is merely the romance of
the human mind projecting itself with
persistent curiosity into the realms of
the mysterious and he unknown.

| Yakima Day

"a
The Yakima Dav celebration at the
Women's club. Yesterday afternoon.
which was their annual open day
proved to be one of the most pro-
nounced successes that the club has
ever known. The significance of the
occasion was emphasized in the dec
orations which were apple blossoms
Yakima's sweetest and most abundant
flower. each lady was given a spray
to wear in honor of the occasion.
The amusing hints told by some of
the pioneers of how they spent their
earlier years were especially amusing
to the new corners. Some OF the
very appro topics were Sage Brush

der; Lure of the West" by Mrs. F.

This idea was carried out in paper
by Mrs. Young on "Old Times in

given by that Justice Garrison of New
York, who in passing upon verdict
of $500 rendered for fve-year-old
girl whose left leg was cut off by a
street car, said:
This verdict is too high. The jury
did not take into consideration the
great improvement in cork legs"
In far back times, in times of such
judicial minds as Solomon or Daniel,
the judicial action would have been
much more crude. Solomon would
probably have promptly and definitely
settled the difference between plaintiff
and defendant by ordering the left leg
cut off the president of any street rail-
way company that ran it's cars so
carelessly as to dismember little girls.
Daniel would perhaps figure it out
that left leg cut off is gone forever
and consequently priceless.
But such decisions belong to an age
upon which we are prone to look
down as lacking in progressive civil
ization.
Our judiciary, especially, has adj
vanced. We hire jurors to hear evil
dence and render verdicts, and hire
judges to set aside what the jurors dis
cover and determine upon.
There has, indeed, also been great
improvement in cork legs and glass
yes, so great that our judiciary almost
feels that it is a positive pleasure to
be made halt or blind by n corpora
ton, and of course the younger you
are, the longer you'll enjoy the greatly
improved cork leg or glass eye.
The popular movement in New Jer-
sey to have Justice Garrison lifted off
the bench by Gov. Fort is a mistake
Garrison is an Illuminated object les
son that can be suffered but not
spared. He lights up the dark places
in our judicial system almost as
brightly and conspicuously as does
Peter Grosscup
Beside rendering a decision that
ought to be a veritable lighthouse for
the ship of state Garrison has found
an excuse for mitigation of damages
that has been wholly overlooked by all
the corporation lawyers. and a fellow
who can do that ought not to have his
judicial light squelched.
Step by step must our judiciary keer
pace with cork legs in the march OF
ogress.-Cincinnat Past

REMEMBER THE MAINE.

Since the day the Inflated Maine
was sunk in Havana harbor she has
lain there, danger to ships and an
obstruction to trade, the Shiny grave
of so American sailors.
The slogan of the Spanish war was
"Remember the Maine!" But we
have during all these years seemed
strangely to have forgotten her. But
now congress seems about to order
that the hulk be raised and removed.
We all know that there has been
some reason for the strange delay in
raising her. Does it not lie in the feel
ing that we may have done the Span
sh an injustice in going mad and de-
handing war when the Maine was
blown up?
When the wreck is raised we shall
be able to know definitely whether
she was sunk by an explosion inside
the hull, or by one outside. If in
side, we shall have to admit that it
was an accident, If outside, we shall
know that some secret foe-probably
Spaniard-did the deed.
If we find that it was an accident
what shall we do about it? Shall we
apologize to Spain? Shall we pay
her an indemnity? Shall we make
restitution of her islands and her
navy? Shall we do penance for the
deaths of the Spanish soldiers and
sailors?
Move cannot make any sort of
reparation. We shall be in the po-
sition of the leader of vigilance
committee which hanged the wrong
man. On being detailed to apologize
to the widow of the deceased, he
cleared his throat and said: Madam,
all I can say is that this is a horse
on the committee"
We wish fervently that we could
give back the Spanish men to their
widows and parents-but we cannot.
We wish. oh, how fervently! that
we could give back to their loved ones
the American soldiers who died in
that war-but we cannot.
We wish we could get rid of the
incubus of the annexation. of the
Philippnes-but we cannot Just now.
In some good day in the future we
hope our deliverance may come.
We are glad that Cuba is indepen-
dent We are glad that the Philip
pines themselves are freed from
the Spanish yoke. These things, per-
haps. Justify the war. Unless they
do, there can be no justification for it.
For the blowing up of the MAINE,
whether by an interior or exterior
explosion, was no justification of it.
The Spanish nation as people never
blew up the Maine.-Cincinnati Post.
