FEELINGS"

1t is too bad that anyone should
be mean enough to print anything
that will hurt the feelings Of Wood
row Wilson. It is all right, Of
course, to print things that sizzle
about Uncle Joe Cannon. Uncle Joe
is a seasoned old campaigner and
isn't supposed to have any feelings.
Sioux City Journal.
Senator LaFollette and Cummins
are also supposed to be feeling
proof against the poisoned shafts
continually fred at them. Hence
such slurs as the following from the
Sioux City paper are permissible:
The LaFollette boom seems to
have more cash on hand now than
in the good old days when Uncle
Ike Stephenson's barrel was finan-
cial headquarters. 1t is suspected
that the Spreckels, Mccormick and
Pinchot barrels must be suffering.

FRUITS OF INSANITY.

Sioux City Journal: Infamma-
tory appeal to prejudice and passion
ought to be cried down by response
BILE public sentiment. The people Of
the United States are better qualified
for self government than ever before
in the history of the republic. What
they need is fair statement. They
need leadership that will trust them
with the facts. There has been
much talk of trusting the people,
and there has been passionate strug-
gle to take away from the people OPP
portunity to pass intelligent and
honest Judgment. There are always
those in time of excitement who lose
their heads and some of these, under
the penalties Of the law, suffer in a
literal way the extreme penalty. The
misguided. the foolish, the actual
criminal, are quickly enough de
ed when guilt is established against
them. The assassin, the incendiary
and the dynamiter are not alone re-
sponsible. They have been appealed
to In the name Of justice. Tho
wrongs OF classes have been ground
into them. They have been made
drunk with retaliation and revenge.
But they count on backing unde!
exposure. Capital and labor join
hands In defense. and together the
crimes OF the guilty are denounced.
What is needed is healthful public
sentiment--sentiment that will
place gag in the mouth OF the
transformer willing to incite the
weak to 1leinous crime II thereby he
may make a point in the reckless
game he plays. The offense Of the
infiammatory appeal in time Of
peace and orderly government
stands forth hideously in time OF
revelation OF It's victims. Instead OF
making government better, the re-
suit Is to shock the moral sensibili-
ties OF mankind. 1t is pitiful when
the victims in possession Of the
strong arm Of the law plead that
they thought they were doing right.
The record OF crime made up in re-
cent weeks is appalling. Men have
been taught to believe In the impo-
tency OF law. and they have been
taught that powerful influences
were in league to rob the poor. Dis
ordered minds have added exagger-
alton and they have been made
blind to every interest intimately as
ISOLATED with their lives. The time
Is now when moderation should

Jefferson Free Lance; By the
