SHOULD CURB LAWYERS.

To convict Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
of murder, the Virginia jurors ignored
the heartrending appeals of his coun-
sci on behalf Of his family. Assum-
ing. as the Jurors did, that he was
guilty. it was distinctly to their credit
that they gave no weight to an irrele-
want plea injected into the case to OBJ
scure it's real issue.
All criminal lawyers, where the facts
permit, urge acquittal of their clients
in order that their families be not dis
graced. To follow this plea to its logt-
cal conclusion. juries would be i'm
pannelled. not to determine the guilt
or innocence of prisoners, but to as
certain whether or not they had famil-
fes. Men with families would go free,
and men without them would pay the
penalty of their crimes. To be sue
cessful criminal, immune from prose-
cution or conviction, a malefactor
would merely have to provide himself
with a family.
There is a limit In Jury arguments
beyond which courts should not permit
lawyers to go. It is the rule in all
courts that counsel must not discuss
things not in evidence nor lug into
their argument extraneous matters.
Strict enforcement OF this rule would
interdict fearful appeals to the emo
tons of Jurors.
A plea OF this sort in effect IS an
exhortation of the jury to ignore the
facts In order to cheat justice. 1t IL an
abuse that ought not to be tolerated,
and 1t Is within the power Of the
courts to end It. Judges in passing
sentence, or the pardoning power In
extending clemency. may well take ex-
tenuating circumstances into consider
alton, but the fact that man has a
family, unless he committed crime
to serve that family, can not be con-
sidered even an extenuating circum-
stance Certainly 1t has no relevancy
to the issue Of his guilt or innocence,
which II the only matter for jury to
consider.

OBJECT TO WADE.

1t is not probable that Judge J. NJ.
Wade will be candidate for re-elec-
ton. He has been on the committee
practically two terms, having been APP
pointed to succeed e. 4. Walsh, when
ne resigned soon after the 1904 cam
paign and should his friends seek his
re election 1t is bound to provoke a
spirited contest which will put the
party in bad pc for the campaign
liz the state,
Iowa democrats are progressive and
look forward to the selection of pro-
gressive leaders. both candidates and
committeeman. Judge Wade has al
ways trained with the reactionaries
and is ever. where rated as such The
progressive element of the party will
not consent TO q reac:ionary national
committeeman without a struggle AS
soon as that fact is made known over
the state Judge Wade's friends will
realize the futilitw of asking his re-
elect on in Inc face OF the determined
OPPOSITION t:lat will be offered and

Wade is the fact that he is attorney
for the brewing interests (the liquor
trust. more properly speaking) The
greatest objection to President Taft is
tie Eact that lie has surrounded himself
via t-rst attorreys-Wicker
|-!-X, Nagei. etc. all strong. able men
bui whose associations unfit them for
responsible official positions in free
ccuEt-E. SO with Judge Wade, however
loyal he may be to the party organiza-
ton and nominees, the democrats of
the state and nation can not hope to
succeed in an antitrust campaign with
trust attorneys as party leaders.
Judge Wade has served practically
as long on the national comittee as
Roosevelt was president and his
friends have no grounds for complain:
If the party interest demands that he
give way TO a man who. like Mr.. Reed,
has earned his right to promotion, and
who IS not open TO objection or criti-
cism and who IL in full accord with the
progressive element In the party

But Why DECLARE NOMINATIONS cLossp7

The Burlington Hawkeye Is taking a
fall out OF Judge Payne Of the Ne
vada Representative on account of the
attitude OF the Nevada Representative
against the denomination Of Taft The
Hawkeye advises the Nevada paper to
"carom around the state" and uncover
the undying hostility to LaFollette
which the standpat press alleges TO
have discovered.
There is small excitement in Iowa
over the preconvention possibilities as
yet. The hurrah and talk has been all
one sided. Whatever the feeling to-
ward LaFollette it has not as yet been
uncovered And while there has been
yociferious and continued assertion of
the prssidents popularity there has
been nothing definite revealed as to the
truth Of the assertion or the sources
and the reasons for this alleged anxiety
of Tart As president. On the contrary
those closest to the voters are satisfied
with their reasons for asserting the re-

finding fault with the secretary are
likely to say that he might as well let

probability in mind that Lafe's sena-

Senator Fred LARA bee of Fl. Dodge

No man has been elected president
in twenty-five years who could not
command the big end OF the indie
pendent vote. There are not enough
republicans in the country to turn the
trick: neither are there enough dem
ocrats. The winner Of next years big
event viii be man who can attract
to his banner the great and growing
Independent vote President Tart made
a bid for that vote when he negotiated
the Canadian reciprocity tari6 measure
and forced It thru congress. but the
democrats were shreWd enough to
make the issue their own and the
serious division in the presidents
own party makes IL improbable that he
can secure any benefit from the meas

the president to reap from 1t any adj
vantage for his campaign next year II
it fails to come. reciprocity will boot
him nothing in the east. and it has cost
him vast amount of strength In the
west which he can not hope to win
back.
The Richmond Times Dispatch
prints table showing that at present
retail prices Of necessities in the east
are higher than they were during the
civil war, when an artificial condition
created a then unprecedented era OF
high prices. The table follows:
War Time. Article. Now.

Some Of these articles are not even
covered by the reciprocity agreement,
notably flour and dressed and prepared
meats. The retail prices Of many things
enumerated are controlled by trusts
and monopolies, which are able also,
within limita tons, to dictate prices
which they will pay to the producer.
The price of flour is dictated by mill

largely the price Of meats, and the
sugar trust tells the consumer what he
must pay for sugar and molasses.
