Mr.. Bryan against him will not
stand much show for the nomina-

The confession of Rev. Richeson
at Boston, Of the murder OF his
sweetheart, Miss Linnell, Is not sur
prising. A man who is weak enough
to commit such crime Is not strong
enough to conceal it long after be-
ing in prison, provided he still has
conscience. Richeson was too much
of coward to face the consequent
ces of his own conduct and sought
to protect himself by taking the life
of young girl whom he had wrong
ed. Such men cannot contemplate
in solitary confinement the heinous
crime they committed without shat
tering the mind and when the mind
is shattered relief is sought in con-
fession.
They will have to give Col. LATE
credit for having more courage than
the other Des Moines papers. His
expose of the school board and board

and now the others have taken 1t

Our local contemporary ought to
get in the game with Col, Late.
However, when Gov. Carroll cleaned
up the pharmacy commission, which
was about as putrid mess as ever
officer tackled, our local contempor-
airy busted itself throwing dornicks
at the governor and placing
wrenches in the gearing where they
were supposed to be the most effect
i've in the way OF blocking reform.

Baltimore paid 100000 to get
the democratic national convention.
This 100000 will be a part of the
..slush fund to be used in "educat-
ing the people" up to a standard OF
intelligence that will induce them
TO vote the democratic ticket. When
Nebraska city number of years
ago gave fine court house to the
county If the voters would name
said city as the county seat the
court held such a proceeding was
bribery and the "court house"
stands vacant to this day Were the
members of the democratic national
committee bribed into voting for
Baltimore as the place for the next
national convention? This is
question for the Commoner to dis
cuss with its usual honesty and
fearlessness.
The income tax law of Wisconsin
has JUS. been declared legal by the
supreme court of that state. LaFol-
lette had a hand in drafting that
law and the fact that It withstands
the assaults of unfriendly lawyers
demonstrates that 1t was not loosely
drawn. President Taft pretended to
oppose a national income tax law
because one could not be drawn that
would be constitutional. Possibly
Mr.. Taft could not draft such a
measure that would pass muster.
but If the people will put LaFollette
or some other man like him in the
white house way will be found to
get a constitutional income tax up
on the statute books. More depends
upon the men and the administra-
tors of the law than upon the law
itself.

MCNAMARA APoLoGIsTs.

MCNAMARA APOLOGloiS.
Occasionally some creature Of
enough Importance to get the pub
lie ear for a brief moment appears
as an apologist of the McNamaras.
Recently in Cooper union. New York
City, VIM. d. Haywood, socialist.
in addressing socialist meeting
said:
Few know what the class strug-
gle means. Those men who were
locked in the Jail In Los Angeles
and later went to San Quentin know
what 1t means. They knew, and for
that reason. my heart Is with the
Mcnamara boys so long as they are
fighting against the capitalist. Let
the capitalists count their own dead.
There are twenty-one dead in Los
Angeles and we have GOT dead in
Briceville. Tenn, due to the CAPT
talists. Those deaths In that mine
in Briceville were just as much MUIR
der as any premeditated crimes
could be. The mine-owners knew
that IL the mine had been properly
ventilated there would have been NO
accumulation Of fire-damp or gas.
But that would cost money and those
capitalists spent no money for the
protection OF the workers. Again /
repeat that I am with the McNam-
aras and always will be.
1t can be said to the credit OF So
cialists everywhere that they de-
nounce these utterances. Socialists
do not endorse crime and violence.
For the sake OF argument suppose
we admit that capitalists are guilty
of the things charged, is that any
excuse for such fiends as the Nc
Namaras to murder and MAIN inno-
cent people? The bomb set under
the Times building in Los Angeles,
timed to explode soon after mid
night, hurled into eternity twenty
one human beings. They were not

THAT SHIPMENT BILL.

Manson Democrat: Senator Ken
yon is now explaining to some of his
Iowa constituents that his bill to
prohibit the interstate shipment Of
liquors into prohibition territory is
not intended to prevent the private
Individual from receiving such ship
ments, but is aimed at the bootleg
ger. who is pre1ented by It's pro-
visions from receiving any inter
state shipments Of intoxicants. Sem
ator Kenyon further states that any
body who does not favor his meas
ure is in sympathy with the boot
leggers. in which statement he uses
the stock argument Of the average
prohibition crank and 1t Is mighty
poor argument, too. II Senator Ken
yon really has bill that will put
the hootleggers and the illicit sell
lers Of intoxicants put Of business In
iowa, this newspaper will boost that
bill and its author until the cows
come home. However, Senator Ken
yon should be very careful to see
that his bill is not loaded up with
jokers so that every private tndi-
vidual in Iowa may, by its pro-
visions, be regarded as bootlegger
liz any prohibition crank or snoop-
Ing committee desires that any par
ticular private individual shall be
so regarded.

The people in Oregon seem to be
becoming the court of last resort.
They are now discussing constitu-
tional convention for the abolition
OF capital punishment and the gov
ernor has reprieved all murderers
under sentence of death in that
state until the people have spoken.
This is the way the referendum is
working in Oregon, and it seems to
be a good way.
