The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-03-01

We have not read all the evidence
in the cast, but it does appear that the
case against Senator Lorimer has fall
en- pretty fiat Browne was tried be-
fore two juries and acquitted, Erb-
stein was tried twice and acquitted, a
senatorial committee, composed OF
men from both parties, examined wit
nesses and took evidence and their re-
port is in Lorimer's favor. To pre-
sumo that Lorimer is guilty is to pre-
sumo that four juries and senator
ial Investigating committee have prac-
tically perjured themselves. The truth
is that the Chicago Tribune, a paper
of vast influence outside Chicago, has
been prosecuting LOrimer for years.
Further, there is the very natural
tendency of human nature to believe
the worst, especially of people in high
position. If a tramp commits crime
we are ready to give him the benefit
of the doubt, but if preacher is ac-
cused of crime we are ready to jump
on him with both feet. We do not
say that Lorimer is innocent, we are
not we'll enough posted to express a
valid opinion, but we do say that we
shall be willing to abide by the vote
of the senate, secure that they are
men honorable enough to render a
Just verdict

and we do know that they have
been hard working, law abiding
and saving. They are strangers in a
strange land, and, remembering the
time when our fathers were also
strangers, we should be friendly and
helpful rather than arrogant and un-
kind.
In short, all this talk about race and
creed and color is but the mark of a
narrow provincialism that reflects no
credit

DAGOEs.

There is altogether too much Of this
rubbish about "dagoes." In our ignor-
ance and egotism we class all for
eigners with whom we are unfamil-
lar as "dagoes" and let it go at that.
Austrians, Servians, Russians, Turks,
Greeks, Italians are all cursed freely
and impartially under the one name.
Recently we have been going over
the files of Denison papers of some
forty years ago and it is interesting
TO note that the same egotistical note
prevailed then. concerning the Ger
mans and the Swedes as now prevails
concerning, the "dagoes." A "swede"
was hurt, German" was killed;
enough said, there was no further
Identification no last name necessary.
1t was matter of minor importance.
When the Irish first came to this
country they were poor and ignorant
of our ways. Many of them earned
their first dollars in America, working
on the railroad grades, just as the
t'dagoes" do today. In fact it was so
much matter of course that the sec
tion man was called paddy" by
nearly every one. But after while
these same Irishmen, like the Swedes
and like the Germans, got start, be-
came residents, built homes and joined
the great and respected ranks of
American citizens. Why not give the
s'dagoes" chance? They are for the
most part hard working, industrious
and sober. Certainly they give value
received for their $1.5O per day. Some
of them send their money back home.
Just as the Irish and the Swedes and
the Germans used to do, some of them
save their money and go back home
to enjoy it. But it is their money,
they earned it by the sweat of their
brow and it is theirs to do with as
they please. A percentage of them,
however, remain in America and send
for wife or sweetheart and in the next
generation we will find their sons and
daughters good and patriotic citizens,
thoroughly Americanized and ready to
do their share in the problems of our
country. Back in New Jersey the |
Italians have settled upon the waste |
lands and have converted them into
rich market gardens adding greatly
TO the wealth of the state.
They still have their own institu-
tons and their own peculiar ways,
but these will be lost in the lapse of
time.
Just last week an Italian woman
and her two babes were stranded here
when they should have gone to Denni- |
son, Ohio. Do you think that that
Italian laborer will not have his in
terests here when his wife and chill
dren join him? Do you think those
little ones are not going to grow and
expand under the influence of Amer
lean civilization? If you do you have
but little faith in your country. In
Denison this summer we have had a
number of wOrkmen of the "dago'
class, but we do not know of one be
ing arrested for disorderly conduct

Senator Young is against Canadian
reciprocity because there is too much
free trade in it and Senator Cummins
is against it because there is not
enough free trade in it. Two very diff
ferent lines of though, but the result
seems to be the same.

Queer, isn't it, that the regulars de-
clare that Deemer is a standpatter and
the Cummins men declare that he is
an insurgent He is an able man
nevertheless, and perhaps the fact that
he has taken so little part in fac
tionalsm that his stand is in dispute
would make him fair to all interests.

, HISTORY NOTES.

What is a "hoop breaker?' An ex-
of supervisors way back in the six
ties shows the passage of resolu-
ton that the ''hoop breaker" at the
court house should be removed and
steps substituted. The editor of the
Crawford county history would be
grateful if some old timer would tell
him just what hoop breaker" was.
One of the interesting items of our
county history is the record Of the
formation of the various townships.
Milford was the first, then Denison,
then Union, then Boyer, when'the strip
was added from Monona county, then
Jackson was constituted, containing
a strip four miles wide and extend
ing twenty-four miles clear across the
north line of the county. 1t was not
until 1876 that the townships were d.
vided as they are today.
Some place in the county there
ought to be copy of the Boyer Valley
Record" published in Denison in
1860. Anyone having a copy will
confer a great favor upon the editor
of the county history by loaning it to
him for few days.
f. w. Meyers will address the peo-
pie of Charter Oak some time this
month, having for his subject 'The
History of Crawford County," the OBJ
ject is as much to gain information
as to impart it and the old timers Of
Charter Oak are requested to be pres
ent and ready to tell some of the ex-
periences of the pioneer days.
Mr.. B. F. Wicks, now of Independ
ence, Mo-, has written some splendid
"reminiscences of the early days for
use in the forthcoming history of
Crawford. 1t would be a great help
ii others would do the same.

his widow from a surgical operation
which she underwent at Virginia hos

When Mrs. Miller was first apprised
OF her husbands tragic death she
begged that she might be allowed to

the request. fearing that sight OF the
mangled corpse might bring about a
turn for the worse In her condition.
Mrs. Miller then requested that the
body be cremated so that she could
at least accompany the remains to
the grave.
This request was readily granted.

Common Council will make another

will insure special safeguard against

drivers. An ordinance with this end

but it was emasculated later by the
Board OF Aldermen to such an ex-
tent that not even Its patron would
now recognize it Ii he met 1t in the
middle of the road. This was accom-
plished, 1t was charged, by the under
taker trust and auto owners in the
upper branch.
The emasculated ordinance, consist
ing of only one provision, the remain
ing forty-eight having been killed,
will come up before Common Council
for concurrence, but 1t seems to be
an assured fact that the ordinance in
it's present form will be thrown over
board and something in the shape of
the original ordinance adopted.
