THE JAIL REMEDY.

The jail sentence passed on the de-
PENDANTS in the case of the government
against the National Cash Register
COMPANY is likely 20 have more effect
than a fine. II is one OF the cases
where a thirty day Jail sentence goes
farther than a $4,000 fine. To re sure
there's many a slip between Inc NIL
ionaire and the Jail. We shall all wait
TO see how these defendants are to be
got into jail and how long they stay.
But there isn't any reason TO DOUBT
that If violation OF the antitrust law
brought a Jail sentence ranging from
six days 10 six months some violators
would reform. some would quit and
some would be in Jail.
It's just as true OF the persons VINO
put human life in danger by reckless
auto speeding. II conviction brought
six to sixty days in stir" there would
be little doing in scorching along city
streets Even IL the offence sent the
auto sealed for Sky days TO six
months into the seciusion OF the stoc-
age garage the speed maniac would be-
come a neglible quantity.
that he can break the law and pay a
fine for the privilege without hurting
his feelings the Jail sentence would
bring him Up short in his assumption
OF special privilege based on his ability
TO pay. Some years ago a millionaire
brought a party OF friends into Iowa
for weeks prairie chicken shooting
week before the season opened and
gave the foreman of MS big northern
Iowa ranch orders 10 take them out,
kill all the game they could and il
arrested pay the fines which he would
settle at the end OF the weeks fun.
And they did it. II cost him less than
500 and his eastern friends went back
with the impression that this man was
a prince Of good fellows and q king in
Iowa He was both. He had been
generously productive Of sport for his
friends and ne had enjoyed a king's
privilege OF superiority TO the pur-
poses Of the law made for the com
monalty. But If the gentleman and his
party Of gunners had seen a Jail sen
1ence behind the plea SAINT outing tbs
sport would have been spoiled The
party would scarcely have come of.
Most OF US wealthy people willing
enough TO pay in cash for special pri-
vilege quit short q, the jail door. I!
the main object is 10 stop Us the jail
sentence seems 10 be indicated as good

Iowa City is not so good city as
it might be. because it is not yet per-

of It's size. far better than some cities
we could name which have no saloons.

the daily observations OF the people

there is more drinking among the stu

easily be true
The fact is that large part of the
agitation for a five mile law applying

the unfair opposition OF misguided

AFTER THE DEMON RUN.

Mighty impurtant Is that Webb bill
which has just passed the L. S. senate
and which is in all respects. save num-
Der. a duplicate OF a bill passed by the
house.
The Webb bill prohibits shipment OF
Intoxicating liquo. from one state into
another when intended TO be received
or solo in violation of the laws Of the
state into which such shipment is
made. Men. cattle and sheep. said
Senator Webb, are stopped at state
lines when they threaten to bring in
diseases with them. 50 why not stop
intoxicating liquors.
This measure surely looks like federal
first aid 10 prohibition. II a state pre-
vents the manufacture. OF sale with IN
its borders and the fedora, authorities
make war on the Importation from
other states. il would certainly look
like itast. times fey tac demon RIM Al
any rate this new legislation 5 effects
are going 10 be closely watched by that
great body of the people who have lit
tle faith in attempts at prohibition
that are not backed by federal aid. ana
this Webb bill is a step in that direc-
ton.
However. let us observe the attitude
OF William Howard Taft In this ma tier.
1t is not safe TO bank on the fate OF
any new departure until il gets by Bill.

Girdles and sashes ubiquitous They are
made from silks and they made from ribbons.
and both silks and ribbons are made in entranc-
ing designs and coors. The very wide, rather
loose girdle is smart, and it may be finished with
sash ends or with rosettes, and 1t may be placed

This is essentially a season of accessories. The
