WHAT CHICAGO NEEDS.

Chicago just now is undergoing a
crime wave. Saturday night a woman
was murdered as she entered her home
with her husband after the opera. A
young man was murdered on the
streets at about the same hour. Sew
eral boys few days ago murdered
a truck farmer and tried to sell his
team. Several murders were COM
mitted during the:recent labor war in
Chicago. ss3 n. tt s,&
a What Chicago needs to do now is to
relentlessly chase down these murder
ers. and hang them. A start has been
made by the sentencing of four of the
murderers Of the truck farmer to the
gallows. A few healthy executions
will stamp out the crime wave. y
The hanging Of John Junkin prov ed
a more salutary lesson to Iowa Grim
inals than all the sermons that might
have been preached, or the newspaper
editorials that might have been written.
It is time to cut out this sentimental
rot about the brutality of capital punish
ment and show murderers that their
crimes merit death. ~

that the LaFollette movement is a.
rected to the future or" to state the
point more clearly; that LaFollette Is
canpaigning in 1911 for the 1916 presl'
Dental nomination, strikes the Cedar
Rapids Republicans S funny bone LOOK
Ing that far ahead does not appeal TO
the Republican as wise. There are
lot Of men now in the mouths OF peo-
ple who will have passed on by tnat
time" the Republican says, and recalls
few of them as follows:
There was time when Bland and
PETER and Simpson and Teller and
Allen. of Nebraska, who made the
,1onpest speech on record in the SEN
ate. until LaFollette and Cummins
came on the scene, were discussed in
every newspaper. They filled the
swelling scene of politics SO full that
there was nothing left in politics.
Some enthusiasts went SO far as to
believe that they were the beginnings
Of q new dispensation,, just as the Des
Moines paper now believes about the
LaFollette crowd.
But where are they now? Who
hears of Bland or of PETER? Who
knows now that such man as Allen
of Nebraska lived and talked three
and four days at stretch? Who
knows whether these men are still liv-
ing or dead? Who cares what has be-
come of them? Their vagaries have
passed away, out of the minds Of
men. They are no more heard of or
thought of.
We want to make no invidious COM
parisons. We do not want to under
estimate any one who is now living
and doing, as they say out west, "his
damdest." But we fear that men like
Bristow will not live any longer as
a popular idol than did PETER, for he
has fewer abilities than PETER and he
certainly lacks PETERS sincerity. And
there is Moses A. ,Clapp, little noun
tain of stupidity who recently an
nounced that Taft was greater tyr
ant than Nero-Taft with the smile.
We do not want to come any closer
home with these comparisons, but it
is at least safe to say that Albert B.

ability as James B. Weaver, his Iowa
progenitor did, and no one would
make the statement that he has been

ODD FELLOWS TO PAY FOR MORE

Washington. d. c., Jan. 31.-The

Baltimore by ignoring the will of the
majority. have now found another way
to lavishly spend the money of the So
ciety.
The Morris Houston faction got to-
gether and decided to create Su-
preme Court. Ben Davis was made
chief Justice for term of four years
at a salary of 500 year. w. L. Hous-
ton was elected associate justice for
eight years at 5000 salary. William
Morris, brother of Edward Morris,
was also made associate justice at
5000 a year, but his term is for only
two years. 1t is said that William
Morris will be succeeded in two years
by Edward Morris, who will then retire
as Grand Master of the order, and
become elevated to the position OF
chief Justice. Ben Davis is slated to
succeed Morris as Grand Master-that
is, if there is not big revolt and the
old machine turned out. Harry Cum
mings is now attorney general at d
