Des Moines. May 30.-One Of the
counts in the sweeping indictment of
Iowa republicans as "hypocrites and
liars" by the deposed president Of the
Greater Des Moines committee" whose
father wants endorsement for senator,
run against the Webster City Free
man Tribune, the particular offense
being statement that the property
of the Dies Moines Capital was assessed
for taxation on the books Of Polk coun-
ty at $11 800. This was denounced as a
falsehood. and c. A. Weaver, who
writes Lafe Young's editorials. wrote
to the editor of the Journal at Webster
City making correction" and stating
that instead Of the taxes being placed
on an assessed valuation Of 800 the
printing plant has an actual valuation
of $184,000," and is assessed for taxa
ton purposes at $4,000.
Whereupon County Treasurer G. L.
Dobson, when called upon for a state
ment, wrote the Webster City Free
man Tribue, as follows: In reply to
your letter Of inquiry in regard to the
assessed valuation of the Daily Capt.
tai, will say it is 31l, 800"
Since then, however, Dobson has
Joined with Young in seeking votes and
in telegram to the Burlington Hawk
eye the other day, he declared that 1.-THE
1.-The total valuation Of the Des Moines
Capital is $4,000" and that to secure
the actual valuation" divide the fig
ures by four. This would make 81, 500
as the actual valuation" according to
Dobson.
Now which is it-$Is4,O0O according
&c Editor Weaver: $4,000. according
to Dohscn now: or $11.5O0. according to
Dobson of some time ago?
The treasurer's books show that the
taxes are paid on valuation of $11,-
500.
The state parole board has decided
that the Perkins law as to the wards
Of the state does not apply to the in
sane as such The title to the bill as
agreed to contains a reference to in
sane persons but in the body Of the
bill It is not provided that the insane
shall be subjected to 1t. But as mat
ter Of fact the beginning Of the appli-
cation of the law, intended as 1t is to
lessen the number Of detectives in fu-
ture generations, has been made at a
state hospital for the insane. The eight
persons who are thus to be treated are
not so treated because they are insane,
but because they are Of abnormal de-
velopment and defective In mental at
tributes.
There has been some misapprehen-
sion in the state as to who can vote
at the primary Under the first pri-
mary law one could vote who would be,
when election time came, an eligible
voter. Under the law as 1t exists now
a person offering to vote at the pri-
mary must be. at that time an eligible
voter at the polling place where his
vote is offered. If he has not secured
residence there he can not vote.

Eldora. May 30-Editor Times Re
publican: Recently in the district
court in this county young man was
brought before the judge, charged with
breaking and entering building In
the night time and taking from the
money drawer a small sum Of money.
to which charge the young fellow Of
fered plea Of guilty and was sem
fenced to the county jail for six months
Now the writer has no criticism to
make Of the court who imposed this
sentence. for the young man undoubt-
eddy needed some such treatment in
order that he may be made to under
stand that society has rights that he
Is bound to respect. However. in this
same court room number Of years
ago occurred another scene A banker
stood before the judge pleading guilty
to the charge Of having stolen some
$50, 900 intrusted to his care and keep
ing. The judge said before sentencing
the banker, THAT inasmuch as friends
Of the accused have made partial resti-
tuition of the money stolen / am in
clined to make the sentence lighter
than I otherwise would" The Judge
then sentenced the banker to eighteen
months in the penitentiary The bank
er had powerful and influential friends
who had interceded in his behalf. Both
boy and banker entered plea of guilty
to the separate charges preferred
against them and In the case Of the
boy the money taken had all been re-
turned to the rightful owner. The boy
stood alone in court without family.
powerful friends or financial prestige
and drew the maximum penalty for his
crime The bankers friends paid back
a part of the stolen money and the
thief drew the minimum sentence for
his offense. Later the Judge who so
Severely sentenced" the banker was
elevated to the supreme bench and the
NAV whom he sentenced was released
from prison after serving fourteen
months. The judge is supposed to en-
force the law and to deal out Justice.
Just where Justice gets on at in these
two cases cited is not exactly plain.
The banker had deliberately planned
for several years to so fix the books
that his crime would not be detected
the boy was hungry and broke into
building for the purpose Of getting
enough money to satisfy natures crav-
ings. The banker got away with
large share Of the swag he stole and
has a permit to shine in society II he
wills It so. The hungry boy gets per-
mission to eat his meals in Jail for the
next six months. Sometimes justice
needs to take the bandage from her
eyes that she may be able to see what
is going on behind the curtains.

difficulties
BY noon the number Of strikers had
reached eighty When the workers left
the plant for lunch many Of them were
met my the strikers. and by 80. more
than nifty had decided to take up the
cause Of the strikers and refused to
return TO their places.
Armour Gave . Raise.
The real cause OF the dissention
among the men 10 said to be due TO
the presence Of several 19-cent men
among the leaders. They are old hands
at the work and are given the extra
pay to use their influence In keeping
the others at work. They are known
learned that some In the gang were
getting the desired raise they at once
became dissatisfied. The l9-cent men
remained on the Job.
Another explanation offered in the
vicinity of the stock yards is that the
Armour Packing Company last week
granted raise to the leaders and be-
gan paying 10 cents on hour The news
spread rapidly to the Cudahy plant.
Foreign workmen have become nu-
merous at the Cudahy plant during the
last few years. The fear is that they
will hold secret meetings and that those
who remained at their places Will be
induced to join the strikers. In such
an event. the force at the plant would
be seriously crippled.
The leaders protest that their work
is too heavy when the payment Is con-
sidered. Each man Is assigned to
truck which is loaded with meat. The
load varies from 700 to 900 pounds.
They push these trucks to the cars
and help in the transfer.

Strikers Speak Little English.

Sioux City, May 3O.-One hundred
and twenty five men employed in the
Cudahy packing plant went on strike
Wednesday. They are still out and
the number is constantly increasing.
The men quit their Jobs to enforce
17h cents an hour to 10 cents. Their
demand for more money was fatty re-
fused by the officials Of the plant and
the workers walked out No violence
has marked the demonstration thus
far.
The strikers are those employed on
the loading platforms and in the dry
salt cellars, the hog killers, beef killers,
roustabouts. ice gangs and casing
gangs. All are known as laborers.
The majority Of those who quit work
are natives of Poland and few of them
have been in this country long enough
to speak the English language. Conse-
quently their strike Is rather aimless
in its management and lacks the prop
er concentration to make II effective.
William Watson, superintendent of
the Cudahy plant, stated that he will
not increase the pay Of the men, and
that so far as he is concerned there
IL no strike. He claims to have filed
the vacancies and says that the work
is being carried on without Interrupt
ton.

al insist that they will no longer work
for l7z cents an hour.
When the whistle sounded at u
o'clock Wednesday morning the men
were at their places Instead Of seiz-
the trucks. as is usual with them, they
stood on the platform until approached
by the foreman. who wanted to know
why they were not at work. The for
eigners shouted in chorus: No 19l
cents, no work."
Mr.. Watson soon appeared on the
scene and learned the story. He told
usual pay or quit. They chose the
latter course and walked from the
plant carrying their dinner pals.
Striksrs' Places Filed.
The officials at once collected all the
extra men about the plant and put
them at work on the platform loading
the meat into the cars Gradually the
men, cropped out of the other depart
ments, recessitating other changes. All
the roustabouts were put on regular
Jobs. The plant continued to operate
and two trains were loaded with meat
and cleared the tracks before noon.
Mr.. Watson said that the men cared
