DON'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING.

1t isn't necessary to hcld thankful
ness off until Thanksgiving day. Iowa
can begin any old time.
Northern Iowa weekly newspapers
having already chronicled an average
small grain yield are busy predicting a
great corn crop. Not a sufficient crop
to tide over but big crop OF Col
Any where out from Marshalltown, the
hub Of the state in more than location,
an excursion into the corn fields by the
roadside will result in long, well filled
ears of corn which promise a good
crop of fair quality. Iowa has corn.
Perhaps with the stimulus of the rain
that IS falling today she shall 31ahe fall
pastures
Thankfulness after all is matter
of comparison. We are always thank
full when we are better off than others.
Pei haps that is selfish but it is So.
AND Iowa farmers and ali Iowa which
makes agriculture its main dependence
has cause and reason of thankfulness
A former Marshal!town pastor who
called Ak the editorial offices the other
day had but recently come from visit
to his parents in Kansas. They live
not far from Wichita. His relation
was Of conditions of actual famine.
The rivers with the exception of the
Kaw anG the Arkansas have ceased TO
run and these he said we're not wider
than a small Iowa creek. The wells
are falling The fields were bare Of
feed stuff of any kind Corn, which
in dry seasons heretofore had fur
nished fodder crop a the very least
is knee high ana one farmer who had
built small silo put fifty acres of his
corn into it and could scarcely see it
after it was in Cattle are beginning
to starve. There is nothing TO feed
hogs. The agriculturalisss face COM
plete failure and many OF them are
face to face with starvation. Accord
ing TO his relation famine has that
section in its grasp And these and
similar conditions obtain in other parts
of the country less favored in soil and
climate than Iowa.
If there be a man on the face Of
the earth who should be thankful and
liberal in his thankfulness the Iowa
farmer is that man. And with him the
Iowa tradesman and merchant may
mingle in thankfulness and liberality.
There is certain to be an appeal for
help from these stricken sections and
iowa, blessed among states shou.o
make practical demonstration OF her
gratitude to the Giver of Haryests for
the favor of splendid crops and mag
nificent prosperity.
Don't wait until the holiday 10 be
thankful. Begin now.

IS ALL MANKIND vllE7

Young Mr.. Caminetti refers 10 his
case as one Of territorial morality" He
says the supreme court will free him.
His stated view Of his case is that Il
would have been guilty Of no offense
if l had not crossed the state line with
her. II would seem thar I am made
a victim of this Mann law because as
a matter Of geography"
One of the Jurors who convicted him
says: Il regard the verdict as a dis
grace to the United States and I be
lieve it will be reversed. That is one
of the reasons agreed to it This
juror asserts that When we began to
deliberate the question was pat up 10
the Jurors that there was NOT a man
among the twelve who had at some
time in his career done the same thing
young Canninetti had done"
If this juror is 10 be believed and We
are to accept his assertion as fact the
prisoner and the jury seem TO have con-
stituted a crowd of thirteen reprobates
hard to match elsewhere. For none Of
lis believes that the average man of
our acquaintance has been unfaithful
to his wife and libertine of the class
and character revealed in the evidence
against the Diggs and Caminnetti True
enough the general statement against
all male morality will De accepted by
some men. 1t will be found on examina-
ton and investigation that those who
accept 1t have no faith in the virtue of
who hold such views of mankind Some
of them seem to have been in the dock
and on the jury during the trial OF
Caminetti.

MISUSE OF DEcoYs.

The extent to which government Of
ficers may go in their zeal to entrap
criminals by means of decoys is clear
ly stated in United States VS.. Healy.
202 Federal Reporter, 349. by the
United States district court. The con-
viction was for selling intoxicants to
an Indian who was in the service Of
the government officers as a decoy. 1t
was claimed that there was suspicion
that defendant was making like unlaw-
full sales, and it was sought to entrap
him in this instance. Defendant was
ignorant that the purchaser was n In
dian. and nothing in the latter's dress,
speech, manner, or appearance, served
to put him on inquiry therein; the In
dian dpproXimating those not Indians.
Is such a conviction just? The court
holds that conviction under such cir
| cumstances Is not only unjust, but con-
trary to public policy. "Decoys are
permissible to entrap criminals, but not
to create them; to present opportunity
to those having intent to, or willing to-,
commit crime, but not 10 ensnare the
law abiding in unconscious offending.
.Tho the seller has violated thu
statute he was the passive instrument
of the government, and his is a blame.
less wrong, for which he can not be
| justly convicted" The court concludes
that in the case at bar the act was In.
nocent. but for the status Of the solicit
tor and because he is a decoy of con-
cealed disability the act is blameless
and there is estoppel against convic-
ton. Were it otherwise, honest men
could easily be made felons, for many

WHAT ABOUT THE NE1GHsoRs:

WHAT ABOUT THE NEIGHBoRS?
In the complaint in Rowe vs.. Charles
II. Ditson Company, 40 New York
of facts was alleged: Plaintiff COM
planned that she negotiated with the
defendant for the purchase Of harp
and that in consideration of such pur-
chase and of other covenants and
agreements the defendant undertook
to teach her the art of playing the
harp, and did enter upon such instruc-
ton under such contract. and that by
reason of incompetency and neglect on
the part &C the instructor furnished by
the defendant, the plaintiff became
nervous, sick. and acquired, by reason
of such negligence, permanent injury.
The defendant denied the contract, and
also denied the causes alleged in the
complaint resulting therefrom, and
further alleged that the plaintiff was
guilty of contributory negligence. The
uninitiated who have not lived in
fat and heard the melodious discords
of the daughter of the family upstairs
viii perhaps wonder how one could
become nervous, sick, and acquire per-
manent injury by reason OF negligence
in musical instruction. nut these who
have had that experience will under
stand. We are also tempted to wonder
as to just what the contributory neg
ligence could consist of. The decision
cited above was merely on motion
for change of venue and did not involve
the merits of the controversy.
