ATTACKING THE COURTS

I have had the feeling that some
day the socialists might direct their
attacks on the unequal and unjust
administration of the law. The fail
ure to administer criminal law with
certainty, the failure to apply the
law should be remedied. There are
none better equipped to accomplish
these reforms than the members OF
the bar. In the civil courts there
are many and frequent delays in
the application of the law, by which
the wealthy litigants gain an ad-
vantage.-Professor William How
ard Taft.
The professor talks differently
now than he did when in the white
house when Roosevelt was showing
up the inequalities in judicial de-
crees. Then the courts were
heaven-made and heaven-inspired,
according to Mr.. Taft. Why has
Professor Taft had the feeling that
some day the socialists might direct
their attacks on the unequal and
unjust administration OF the law?"
Simply because he knows such at
lacks would be justified. Think OF
a court throwing editors Of news
papers into Jail for re-printing the
statements of a presidential candi-
date, as was done by the Idaho
courts. And that, too, without CIV
ing the editors a hearing. Mr.. Taft
seems to be gettin out of the clutches
of special privilege that ruled him
so completely while he was in the
white house. Wonder what John d.
Archbold will think of this exhibit
ton of independent thinking and
speaking on the part of the express
ident?

SUDDEN DEATH OF
Ion HARDIN AT Ah[S
Formerly Resided Here and at
Jewell-Well Known News
paper Publisher.

Lon G. Hardin, editor of the Ames
Times, died very suddenly at his Of
flee Friday, following an acute at
tack of heart trouble.
Mr.. Hardin was publisher OF the
Jewell Record a number Of years ago
and for a time was connected with
the daily Herald in this city, some
twenty or more years ago. He had
many friends in Hamilton county
and all over the state who will be
shocked at his sudden taking away.
His paper of Friday contains the
following particulars of his death:
Lon G. Hardin, editor of the Ames
Times, passed away at the office at
eleven thirty this morning following
an acute attack of heart trouble.
Mr.. Hardin suffered severe at
tack of the grippe during the win
ter and did not enjoy hi susual good
health for a time, being confined to
his home for several weeks.
The last few weeks he had been
discharging his duties at the office
daily, and although not entirely
well had been of good cheer and
moderate health.
His passing away during the
course of his work at the office this
morning was characteristic of his in
dustrious life He came down to the
office at the usual time, cheerful
and joking and had not complained
of feeling i'll at any time. He was
reading proof about eleven fifteen,
and feeling warm and dizzy had
gone down to the cool basement and
was resting on mailing table. In
few moments he complained of a
pain in his chest and medical aid
was called Everything known to
medical skill was done to relieve
him, but the heart failed to respond.
Mr.. Hardin was fifty-one years Of
age. He came to Ames twenty-one
years ago and established the Times
to which his time and interests have
been devotedly attached. His pass
ing comes as a shock to the entire
community as well as to his en-
ployees and associates.
Arrangements now are to hold the
funeral services Monday afternoon
at the residence.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Oskaloosa Herald: Just keep your
mind on the fact that consolidation
of rural schools is coming, and we
want to repeat that it will be great
day for rural schools when it does
come. Some way, we can scarcely
account for it, many people, residing
in the rural communities, and en-
tirely honest in their opinions, have
looked upon the rural school and
schoolhouse as something sacred
not to be touched or. disturbed-and
three score years have seen but lit
tie improvement. It is true most
great men have come out of the rur-
al communities, and their entire sue
cess has been generally ascribed to
the rural school. Facts are, 1t was
because it was in the men, and they
got out of their environment and
made themselves what they were,
either by education, contact with
other minds or humping up against
the school of experience. They at
tanned success, Notwithstanding the
inefficiency of the rural, school.
Now please don't run off and tell
your neighbor the Globe said the
rural school has accomplished moth
ing. Far from it. The rural school
has accomplished great good. But
we believe much better things can
! be accomplished and that the meth
DDS and houses of fifty years ago are
Anticipated and we believe the peo-
pie of the country, especially the
rising generation, are entitled to
the best in an educational way.
Times change, and certainly we
ought to learn something by exper-
fence, in matters educational as well
as in everything else. People used
to walk. or ride horseback, in trav-
cling. Then came in succession the
jolt wagon, without springs, then
with spring seats, spring wagons,
carriages, and buggies with steel
tires, the same vehicles with rubber
tires, bicycles, and now automobiles.
In all there has been a constant
improvement, which made for COM
fort, pleasure, convenience and
quick transportation. Apparently
prejudice against these various i'm
provements was easily overcome,
but the prejudice against improv-
ing the country school seems to be
deep seated.
But it's coming. The country
boys and girls are going to the high
schools and colleges and their par
ents are gladly sending them. These
boys and girls will see the necessity
of graded schools, which will be pos
sible under consolidation.
The effective men are still, as in

Dubuque is to lose twenty-one of
her saloons on July first. The
Times-Journal says this is due to a
compromise Interpretation of the
Moon law" and that "one-third of
the saloons in excess of one for each
1000 inhabitants will go out of
business" Wonder what kind of a
compromise Interpretation" it can
be that permits forty-two more sa-
looms than the law allows? But
Dubuque is doing we'll to even pay
any attention to liquor statutes.
Time was when it was different in
that city, For years after the en-
actment of the prohibitory law Du-
buque paid no heed to the law and
saloons ran wide open day and
night as before. But the leavening
is working, even in Dubuque, and the
day is coming when the law will be
obeyed there the same as in 9th er
sections of the state. The Times
Journal also declares that in decid-
ing what saloon-keepers shall have
licenses the character of the saloon
and not political pulls should gov
ern the action of the council. 1.-THE
man who conducts a place contrary
to the state liquor law can expect
no favors," says the Times Journal.
They are not very progressive
down in Mississippi where they vote
only the democratic ticket from the

hope, as one newspaper has gotten
up enough gumption to tell the
Mississippians what's the matter
with the state. Here is the way the
editor puts it: 1.-THE average Mis-
sissippi farmer buys canned and
dried fruit, likewise canned and
dried other goods. He gets up at
the alarm of a Connecticut clock,
fastens his Chicago suspenders to
his Detroit overalls, washes his face
with Cincinnati soap, in a Pennsyl-
vania washpan, sits down to a
Grand Rapids table and eats Indiana
hominy fried in st. Joseph lard on
a St. Louis stove. Then he puts a
St. Louis bride on a Tennessee mule
and plows a farm covered by an
Ohio mortgage. When bedtime
comes he reads a chapter from a
bible printed in Chicago, says a
prayer written in Jerusalem and
crawls under blanket made in
New Jersey, only to be kept awake
by a Mississippi dog, which is about
the only home raised product on the
place."
