the right OF every accused person to de-
mand proof Of guilt. II Lorimer were
being tried for his life his counsel
could not be more iasistent on anso-
lutte eye witness than his defenders in
the senate and out. Few have nerve
enough to deny that the seat v tainted
in the face OF plain confession Of leg
islators involved. The insistence il that
he be had enough votes beside those
which were corruptly gained.
Withal that, Lorimer sits in the
tainted seat. He begs before his peers
in the senate, Is content and appar-
emily satisfied with the bare ma
jority whereby he retained it. He swal-
lows the contempt of the ex-president
He hangs on tooth and nail. And that
he does this submissively and even
gratefully is a circumstance not to be
overlooked. How long could a clean
man confident in his own cleanhanded-
ness stand it?
1t is a mess but it is mess that

light is a disinfectant, and the more
light thrown into the Lorimer case the
nearer 1T approaches sanitary condi-
tions. La Follettes resolution is
scarcely premature from the stand
point Of decency in politics.

HE HArNT BEEN HOME REGULARLY.

Ihe disappearance OF the head or the
stamp department of the Chicago post
office and of $500 of the funds of that
department are condolences which re-
suited in the swearing out of a war
rant for that official. He had been
seventeen years in the department and
handled millions says the postmaster,
and this is the first reflection cast up
on his integrity.
But Stuart, the inspector, says that
for some time previous to Days dis
appearance he hadn't been going
home regularly" And if You notice it
was Stuart who swore out the warrant
He had been previously accustomed to
going home regularly" It's suspicious
circumstance when men quit going
home regularly.
Men fool themselves. If any man
imagines that seventeen years of regu-
larity will cover two weeks of irregu-
larty, he's fooling himself Whenever
any man imagines he is deceivins other
men, he isn't. He may deceive his
Wlfe-that IS another propostion-but
be assured that A whole lot Of people
begin to wonder when he doesn't go
home regularly.
Man tracks are like rabbit tracks in
the snow-easy to follow. Every man
leaves plain trail whenever he walks
hand in hand with his baser self. He
can no more hide the tracks toward
degradation and wrong than the rabbit
can cover his trail toward the thicket
Its pretty sure thing, a sign to tie
to. When men cease to 20 home regu-
larly they need watching. Later it is
not astonishing if the warrant is re-
CURED. And conversely the man who
goes home regularly" is seldom
served with it.

Firs . Disease Epidemic in suIldinss

Fire q Disease Epidemic in Buildings.
The neglect Of the fire danger is
widespread. A campaign against fire
should be waged, just as there IL q
campaign against tuberculosis. Fire
Is disease which IL epidemic In all
buildings and which will yiald only to
the same treatment which has been sue
cessful with other diseases Education
IL the first step.
The same conditions which existed in
the New York factory building, which
killed women and girls, can be found in
many other buildings Many of the
people who are indignantly asking who
are responsible for this loss OF life
are probably maintaining buildings
equally as dangerous. Their own homes
indeed, are, in nine cases out Of ten,
personal death traps. II a man does
not protect his home and his family,
IL he likely to protect his factory and
his employees?
Some improvement can be secured by
Legislation. II theaters and tenements
can effectively be safeguarded, 50 can
factories. But the laws will have to
be based on sound principles Of IRE
safety and will have to take heed Of
what drs prevention science has al
ready established as Necessary pre-

oPeNINs THINGS At COUNCIL BLUFFS,

At Council Bluffs recently the board
OF supervisors passed a resolution adj
vising the county attorney to dismiss
large number Of indictments found in
Pottawattamie county against num-
her Of persons accused Of completely in
the Maybray swindles. The resolution
1t is stated, was the result OF advice on
the part OF the county attorney VIII
argued that the cost OF the trials would
be great ETC.. and advised the dismiss
sal of the indictments. It appears that
the Law and Order League of the city
held quiet meeting and took up the
matter with the attorney general who
has entered appearance for the state
H. the cases and will see that the mat
ter is not quashed according to the
desires of those who We're anxious that
they should be dismissed. The action
of the supervisors created much dis
cussion in Council Bluffs and the coun-
ty which has never tried any case
against the Maybray gang, all prose-
cutions and convictions heretofore hav-
ing been the result Of federal activity.
Mabray and his gang operated in
Council Bluffs with complete assurance
and ffe suspicion Is strong that they
had the aid and allotment Of powerful
influences In shat city and county. The
removal proceedings which led up to
the dismissal Of the chief Of police
under the Ccsson law tainted the po-
lice force. The police force, however,
is rarely quiescent except under "in-
eese and freedom with which the gang
operated and the extended period over
which it's successful operations ex-
tended are sufficient to Justify the BUS
extremely useful accornplices beyond
the bunch OF prizefghters and horse
Jockeys and steerers who conducted
the active departments Of the swindle.

drels implicated in the Mabray game

complies Of large cal1ber It will, no
doubt, stir certain circles to the ore,
but It will be worth the expense Coun-
Gil Bluffs has had very bad reputation
as q rendezvous for grafters, gamblers
and generally as a lair Of the wolves
OF society. The way to get rid OF the
wolves Is to stop their earths and
smoke them out. When that has been
done reputation will look after itself

ment Of that gang. 1t - a part Of the

The fateful substance Of our food.
In victory or In dark defeat.
Sublimely true. sublimely sweet.

And dark brows shooting out thei1

To face the fight again and dare
In Illness or in health. in strength.
In weakness. all the gamut's length
OF life's distresses and It's cheer
The essence Of its grace is near.
That with abiding faith we may
Behold the sweetness of His way.
Sublimely sweet-and that is all
For us to know. But at His call
BE ready! At His word TO go
Beneath the bloom or meath the blow
Serenely trusting and content
Whatever unto us is sent.
9ublimely sweet and for the best,
Then take up this and leave the rest.

And in the sun or shadow tread

Sublimely sweet is Gods own way!

WOULD TURN TO CLARK.


The time has passed when either
Judge Kenyon or Judge Deemer can
longer hope to be elected senator y the
Thirty-fourth general assembly. The
chances OF Deemer's election were at
an end when the belated republican
senatorial caucus was held, and the last
hope OF Kenyon was gone, when, after
the caucus, he could not get more than
seventy votes. There are not ten men
in the Desmsr ranks who will Join with
the Kenyon supporters and elect their
candidate, and it would take three
times that number from the Kenyon
ranks to elect Deemer.
The end Of the session Is but little
more than a week distant and now the
only hope Of ending the deadlock will
be the Joining OF the Kenyon and
Deemer forces. or q sufficient number
from same TO elect another man. There
il suggestion from several quarters
thae this Will be aceofnp ffsned The last
days Of the session, but no movement
in that direction has yet taken form.
The man most likely to receive unit
ed support Of mem bers of the assembly
should such q movement materialize IL
Lieutenant Governor Clarke. who IL ad-
mired by the entire membership. He
has the confidence Of the people Of
Iowa and 10 OF senatorial size. He has
enjoyed long legislative experience and
training and IL in the prime OF life.
Governor Clarke refused to be a candi-
date for the position when his friends
early made an announcement for him,
but could not refuse an election under
the present circumstances.
The failure Of either Kenyon or
Deemer to secure an election, and the
possible continuance OF the present
deadlock to the end of the session,
puts an entirely new face upon the
senatorial controversy. It IL not like
ly that either Kenyon or Deemer could
succeed in the 1912 primary with their
record Of participation in the legislative
bility for the deadlock will be lodged
where II properly belongs by the peo-
pie, and the men who gracefully retir-
ed when it seemed impossible for them
to secure an election will be in vastly
better position to ask support Of the
voters than those who doggedly staid
in the race when the only result of
their action would be final deadlock
The feeling is strong IN this section
that an election should be had at this
session. There is little real sentiment
personally for either Kenyon or Deem
er but republicans herea bouts would be
pleased with the election Of either
Neither Of these men are known by the
republicans who have attended conven-
tions and engaged in party work. They

suit is had.

Whitman & Burton last week went
into the country and bought fine beef
to kill for their trade. 1t was nice

visions Of Juicy steaks dancing in
their heads when they drove the fine
critter to the slaughter house The
animal was killed but the inside OF the
sleek COW did not look good so they
called veterinary surgeons. Evers &
Evers, who after inspection found the
beef badly diseased with consumption.
The animal was ordered to be destroy
ed by fire in order that hogs and chick
ems could not feed on the flesh and also
become diseased. whitman 4 Burton
not only lost the value Of the COW but
they also paid the veterinary surgeons
for their careful inspection. We surely
com mend our local butchers for making
such an effort to give their patrons

A BAD BILL.

[Des Moines Register and Leader1.
The Register and Leader has gone
into the proposed public utilities bill
that has passed the house and is now
before the senate with enough scrutiny
to satisfy Itself that the bill Is bad and
should be beaten.
It's provisions for indeterminate fran
chise are enough to damn it IL there
was nothing else, and it's rule for de-
termining earnings for public utilities
Is not rule recognized either by state
or United States courts.
The bill is corporation bill. It Is
put UP to free the corporations Of the
state from effective regulation. It has
some good features and if 1t did not
commit the state to wrong policy de-
liberatelv might be accented as a first
step. But in every vital provision IT
shows that 1t has been framed with in
tention to deceive.
II the friends of good government
will compare the indeterminate fran
chise provisions of this bill with the
same provisions Of the Wisconsin pub
lie utilities law they will never vote for
the bill in its present form.
