out officials laws would be as use
less as cannon in war without men.
When an official takes an oath to
enforce the law, he has no right to
violate the oath and excuse the nom
enforcement of certain laws because
they are, or seem to be unpopular.
Sentiment may be against the en-
forcement of some law, but an Of
fetal does not take an oath to sup
port public sentiment, he does take
an oath to support the law. Pub
lie sentiment is difficult thing to
ascertain. Law abiding people are
quiet while the lawless are to voci-
ferrous as to deceive by their clamor
the facts as to their number. The
only correct way to determine pub
lie sentiment is to be guided by the
expression of the peoples will
through the law making body. When
a law is passed it must be assumed
| it is what the people want and it
should be enforced until the people
demand and secure it's repeal. What
may seem to be public sentiment is
often the clamor of the lawless who
have selfish interets in violating
the law.
Indifference Breeds Wrongs
"Civic evils cannot exist where the
public conscience is aroused. Nearly
all public wrongs grow out of the
indifference of the people. The ex-

different places would have come
years ago if the people had been
aroused to true understanding Of
the situation. Had the people been
alert and had they taken as much in

would have taken IN a corporation

disgraceful conditions would never
have existed

| Views Afoot
A PRICELESS EARTHLY
TREASURE

Some three or four weeks ago char
table organization in Springfield, Illi-
nois, came by accident across most
pathetic case.
An aged colored couple, welded more
than fifty years ago, were found penni-
less and hungry and cold. Yet they
were trying most pitifully to conceal
their destitution and suffering, and
were in mortal terror when it was dis-
covered
They had understood in some way
that if their condition became known
they would be sent to the "poor house,
and would have to be separated. And
this had been their dread and terror
during the long years that penury and
want had been following them. The
hardships of hunger and cold they had
not feared; but they thought of separ-
alton with a pitiful terror, born of the
unfaltering love of two devoted hearts
that were old in years, but still warm
and still true. They had lived together
and wanted to die together. And for
fear that they might be torn apart, as
twilight's shadows fell across their
lives, they had suffered and endured
bravely and silently, hoping that none
might learn of their grim and bitter
struggle.
1T had been different once. The man
was Abraham Lincolns coachman,
when the martyred president lived in
Springfield. That was more than !
half century ago; and he had then
the strength and vigor of youth, and
gloried in his freedom, for at that time
most negroes were slaves. Fate has
been cruel with him since then. But
who can say that the lonely couple
have not, after all, preserved through
out the years the one priceless earthly
treasure, the living spark of ceaseless,
undying love.
For in the years when life's shadow
are deepening, there is nothing that can
replace the comfort and content that
comes from the unfaltering love Of
faithful helpmeet's heart. It alone
can make lonely lives happier; and
perhaps, too, it will at last make deaths
q little easier.

JUDGE GREEN
To Succeed Hon. Walter |. Smith In
Congress. An Able And Consci-
entious Jurist, Unfettered
From Party Factions.
The Peoples Friend

The most logical candidate for Con-
gress TO succeed the Hon. Walter 1.
Smith, in this district, is Judge Green
of Audubon.
A young man who started at the
bottom round of the ladder, and by an
unblemished professional career, while
passing through the trials and tribu-
lations incident to his profession, at
tanned to the high Office of Judge of
the District Court while yet boy.
The many years of experience to his
credit during his encumbency on the
bench has simply broadened his bril-
liant mind to the greater need of his
constituency.
At an early period of Judge Green's
service on the bench the writer remem-
bers of trial before him. that took
many days to try the case. 1t was
about the establishing or vacating an
old road thathad been used for many
years. AT it's conclusion he took the
case under advisement and before
rendering decision, on his bicycle
he went many miles into the country
and viewed the lines as certified to in
the trial and rendered his decision ac-
cordingly. His decisions have been
fair and impartial as he understood
the cases. He is merciful, humane
Jurist, regards the law as mutual
friend of the people, and if breach
has been made in it's administration
the offended law must seek it's adjust
ment, and mercy and judgement rem
dered the offenders. The people of the
Ninth Congressional District can
make no mistake in electing this clean
young man to it's Congress.

fast enough to keep the field, and other

so a merger was established, that did

Des Moines the last of the week af-

in the Iowa Supreme Court where
the State was trying to collect about
5000. Inheritance tax from the late
James Bell estate. The State was
the loser in the case in the District
Court and appealed to the higher
Court. The defense contended that
their shares one fourth each were
decided to them by deceased and
that only the ope-fourth retained
by him would come under the in.
heritance clause. The judges had
not rendered their decision when
Mr.. Andrews left aud it may be some
time before the decision is given
out.
