would have been in position to de-
mand and collect under the law &C
cording to the earning power Of heI

What is the liability Of the commun-
ity Of Council Bluffs to this woman
Kelly was dangerous as q mad dog and
the city authorities knew it. He was a
drink maniac and this was we'll known
The officer was in charge of the man
and standing between the public and
the present and acknowledged danger
And he was killed in performance of
his duty.
Back of that We're the conditions
which had changed a bright capable
young doctor into a dangerous man and
finally into a killer. The man was a
city official. His descent via the usual
route had been marked thru its various
graduations. The right to compass
his destruction and AT him for the
murder of the deputy had been licensed
and paid for in Council Bluffs. The
city had had the price. 1t is getting
the same revenue now and taking the
same chance on it's bright young men,
on all it's men and boys and women,
receipting quarterly for the price OIL
prospective ruin and ENFORCEMENT and
murder and present poverty and petty
crime IT has had the price OF this
woman's labor and grief and the
patrimony of those orphaned children
It's liability in that case is clear.
And Kelley's father and mother
what is the community's liability to
them. They had spent their lives rear
ing the boy. They had spent their
money fitting him for a high and useful
profession. Outside OF the agony they
have suffered the price paid for the
privilege TO destroy usefulness and
make murderers had in i, all these
had spent upon their child. 1t was EN-
bezzle,nent of their love and labor
and money. That is part Of what the
community OF Council Bluffs turned
over with the privilege it grants in
consideration of small quarterly pay
ments OF money.
And Kelly. Kelly is out Of 1t. The
best place to keep Kelly is where he is
under strict restraint. He has proved
himself TOO dangerous TO be at large.
Whatever of blame or pity may attach
to him and his case the thing TO do
with the Kellys and the Thaws is 10
prevent recurrence of homicidal pur-
pose and accomplishment.
Back of Kelly, back of Thaw, back
Of the dead man on the floor and the
widow over her wasfltub, back of the
crime and poverty and degeneracy and
the pity of it all is the community. There
rests the responsibility. For no COM
munity need cultivate opportunity OF
crime and ice the slippery slope to pow
erty and degeneracy unless it chooses.
Back of all this is the community and
back of the community the individual
responsibility Of one man for another.
And were Woolmans widow entitled by
law to collect the sum of her damages
in money from the community as near
ly as money can pay, were kelly's wife
and parents able to bring and win a
suit for actual damage sustained by the
policy which preys on youth in order
10 bring revenue to communities the
system wouldn't last over another cleo
ton. SO much we care for the petty
false economy which saves taxes" and
SO little we care for men.

ASSERTING FOR PAVING.

Some people are wondering wherein
the last legislature bettered conditions
by tampering with the paving Jaws.
When the general assembly votes to
pay for all street intersections from
the general fund. then that body VIII
lay claim to promoting some fair paw
ing Observation-Disclosures Rapids Gazette
From which We may presume that
the lot owner is being assessed IN
Cedar Rapids as in many another
Iowa town for the cost OF paving street
intersections. Howbeit there is no oc-
casion for this except the stupidity OF
ocst OF paving street intersections has
always been paid from the general fund
and of recent years the excessive cost
on the long sides Of corner lots has
been partially absorbed into the gen.
eral fund.
Any lot owner In Iowa who objects
to paying for the cost of paving street
intersections can appeal and defeat the
assessment under the Iowa law for the
reason that his city council will be un-
able to prove that the lot has been
actually benefited to the extent of this
cost on top Of the cost of the paving
abutting.
The new statute undertook to as.
sess street paving jointly 20 all lots
nearer to the street paved than to the
next street and this in effect assesses
all the lots in a quarter of block for
paving around the corner, but even
this can be defeated if the special bene-
fit to the property is not there. Let
property owners win one or two tes'
cases in town and city councils WIN
have to abide by the actual benefit to
property. This is what has been done
in Marshalltown and very few resi-
dence lots here are paving to exceed
$3.50 per LOT for paving, even when they
are corner lots.

PROGRESS IS BUSINESS KEYNOTE

sustained progress along conserva
tive lines is the keynote OF advices
from the leading mercantile centers.
improvement is not wholly uniform
and some sections and branches Of
trade reflect better conditions than
others. In the aggregate however. the
volume OF current transactions contin-
ues large and tho hesitancy is still
shown in entering upon future com
mitments, the feeling of caution is less
manifest than heretofore. Unseason-
ably low temperatures in some parts OF
the country have led TO further claims
of crop damage, but distribution Of
merchandise at retail has been bene
fitted and the wholesale movement is
gradually expanding.
Well-maintained activity is appar-
ent in all departments OF the dry goods
markets with jobbers busiIy engaged
supplying customers needs. and adj
ditional price advances are announced
from time to time. The cotton goods
mills have enough work on hand to
keep them occupied for the next three
months, but mems wear orders for

Of leather, and values are firmly held
on all desirable offerings. Footwear
factories are still in need of new bust

WILL BAR F,RATERS1T1Es.


That was an epoch making meeting
Of the board Of education which was
held a few evenings ago. 1t marked
the beginning Of new era OF equal
ity among the boys and girls OF Du-
buaue.
Important action was taken in two
matters. One was the establishment
of a night school for the, benefit of
those who thru circumstances are de-
prived Of the opportunity of attending
school in the day time: the other was
the presentation Of a resolution by
President Bissell, instructing the city
superintendent OF schools to abolish all
fraternities and sororities Mr.. Bisselrs
resolution was made matter Of I'M
finished business 1t will come up at
the next meeting and be voted on
While it is sweeping in the restrictions
it places on students, the resolution is
by no means an evidence Of narrow
ness Instead it is in accordance with
the spirit of times when there shall be
more class equality.
1t can not be said the author OF the
resolution is actuated By class hatred.
Mr. Bissell is a college man and deep
student and his observations doubtless
have convinced him Of the evils OF
snobnishness among students He is to
be commended for his courage just as
the other members Of the board will be
commended if they vote favorably on
the resolution.
There can be no defense of frater-
mites or sororities In high schools.
They breed class hatred and strike
equality. TO say nothing of their effect
on study. They are nothing more than
cliques of students who hold them
selves aloof from the majority whom
they would have 1t understood are not
their social equals.
There is some excuse for the exis-
tence of fraternities at colleges where
students arc boarders. There they
maintain houses for the benefit Of the
members. but to allow certain num-
Der of high school students to band
themselves together for the cstensihla
purpose of humiliating their school
mates is American to say the least.
