THE ASSAULT ON MR.. POND.

1t Is difficult to speak with modera-
ton of the dastardly assault made up
on Mr.. G. S. Pond of this city early
Friday morning by representatives of
the Burlington police force. All the
evidence in the case goes to show that
Mr.. Pond was attending to his own
business at the time and that the at
tack was without provocation or pos
sible justification on any ground or
from any point of view. He had q
perfect right to be on the public
streets at that hour, and at any and
all hours, and his purpose-that OF
seeking suitable quarters for the re-
mainder of the night-was legiti-
mate one. In this quest he should
have had the protection and cooper
alton of the police. but instead of &C
cording him his rights they set upon
him. knocked him down and threaten
ed him further maltreatment If he pro-
tested against the outrage. His arrest
was alike without warrant and without
reason. But for the fact that the night
sergeant at the police station, to whom
Mr.. Pond appealed for protection.
knew him and interfered In his behalf
the Keokuk man in all probability
would have been put behind the bars
and compelled to spend the rest of the
night there. Quite likely other indig-
mites and injuries would have been
inflicted upon him, Judging from the
thrpatS nado a0aipaf him
Mr.. Pond is leading Keokuk busi-
ness man and gentleman of ire
proachable character and conduct.
No one who knows him needs to be
assured that he would not be guilty
Of anything that would warrant even
remotely the brutal treatment he
received. As for his assailants, 1t is
perfectly plain that they are wholly
unfit for the positions they hold. They
have total misconception Of their
duties and rights as guardians Of the
public peace and should be dismissed
from the police force at once in dis
grace. More than this, they should be
forever debarred from acting in Ike ca
pacity in future. Instead of safe guard
ing life and property they have
shown themselves a menace to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
guaranteed by the supreme law of the
land Burlington owes it to itself to

TrampIinq on the Flag.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: May
Day saw an outrage perpetrated In
New York which is likely to have
bad effect on its authors and abettors.
This was the trampling on the Amerl-
can flag at a celebration in that city
by the Socialists, the Industrial Work
ers OF the World and some affiliated
organizations. Red flags were carried
in the parade, the bands played the
Marseillaise. and the Stars and
Stripes displayed on the speakers
stand was torn down and trampled
on. Although the authorities had
right to look for excuses of some
sort at a gathering of those lrruptive
elements, the police force present
seems to have been inadequate to deal
with the situation.
The Socialists declare that they
had no hand in the dissertation of the
flag-and lay the blame for this out
rage on the Industrial Workers OF the
World, but they can not escape all of
the responsibility. They We're the
largest organization. The red flag of
revolution which they carried In the
procession is their customary emblem.
They displayed it in most of their
demonstrations in the recent cam
paign in Milwaukee, In which they
were beaten by combination of Re-
publicans and Democrats, and Mayor
Seidel and his party were thrust out
of office. While the Marseillaise is a
good old song of freedom, it Is seldom
sung in demonstrations in the United
States, aside from the strictly French
celebrations, except by men who aim
at the subversion of our government.
The men who marched to that tune
on May Day in New York, Socialists
and others, aim to set up in this coun-
try new social order, and overthrow
the political scheme established by
Washington and his contemporaries,
under which the United States has
lived and prospered for nealy a cen
fury and a quarter.
Trampling on the flag is rather dan
gerous work, and the Socialists can
not altogether evade accountability
for 1t. Their assaults on the govern
ment, which were especially fragrant
in the Milwaukee campaign, account
for part of the big majority which was
rolled up against them. The other
day Socialist paper in Chicago sus-
pended for lack of patronage. Despite
the boasts of the leaders of that sect.
it is likely to make poor showing in
the presidential campaign While the
American people are at variance on
different measures of policy. they are
united in defending republican gov
eminent. 1t is true, of course, that
the Industrial Workers of the World
is a revolutionary, anti.American or
ganization, but the Socialists of New
York who are now condemning that
order deserve censure for affiliating
with it. Organizations, like individu-
ais. can not complain If they are
judged by the company they keep

ABOUT PRISON MADE GOODS.

Along the line of the discussion re.
garding prison-made goods and their
sale through mail order and other
channels, the following excerpt firm
The Man in the Cage" by Julian
Leavitt in April American Magazine
is pertinent:
Only twenty-one of our prisons
make any special provision for their
consumptives. Altogether they furnish
only 500 beds; and the army of the
tuberculous behind prison walls num-
bers, according to the best estimates,

ity TO the people for the work done

nation
We have said he is making unique
campaign; that is evident when we
consider the fact that he Is working
for the uplift of Iowa along lines
which many others have simply talked
about in a general way: Colonel Young
Is saying ten words for Iowa for every
one he says either about politics or
his own ambition.
That he would-represent Iowa in
manner that would reflect honor upon
the state goes without saying; that
he would be power, he has evidenced
In the few months he was senator;
that he has the interests OF the people
at heart is shown by every step in his
career as citizen: that he stands In
the front rank of real bonafide re-
formers is patent from his work and
its results LATE Young wears his
own collar and is no me too states
man.
He is broad enough TO represent
such people as live in Iowa. a people
who do not live either on the border
of deception, or in the marshes where
the miasma of lust for office makes
a man promote measure one day
and oppose it the next; he has never
had to explain nor has ever espoused
any mans candidacy for office and
kept string on his promise. He is
a manly man and such would be a
grand man for the U. S. senate.
We have not espoused the candi-
dacy of Colonel Young, but we have a
profound respect for such character
and such capabilities as we find In
this splendid Iowan and whether he
is nominated for senator or not, we
still have the right and pleasure to
admire his abilities and esteem his
personality.

His practical work for the state is an

do these four million shirts carry into
unsuspecting homes?
No one can possibly estimate, ac-
curately, the quantity of prison-made
goods shipped into the various mar
kets of the country, and capable of
carrying with them the prison dis
eases; but figure, roughly, that in
1905-the last year for which we have
any federal records-the leading pris-
ons sent out about seven million pairs
of shoes of every description, twenty
one million cigars, ten million pairs
OF stockings. two million pairs Of over.
alls, one million pairs of trousers, in
Guiding shirts and half million pet
ticoats. Within the last five years the
production of these goods, with the
possible exception of cigars, has in
creased enormously As rule, too,
these goods are of the cheaper grades
in every line, grades which go into
the homes of the poor, whose over
worked and underfed bodies provide a
natural breeding ground for whatever
germs these might carry.
And every day hundreds of pris-
oners themselves come out, many with
death written upon their faces Into
how many homes they carry their grim
message in person no one may say.
But with this steady influx from the
prison source alone, do you wonder
that the white plague increases in
every community at rate greater
than all the preventive and curative
agencies combined
