SEX NO LONGER PROTECTS HER.

Atlanta, Ga.-The conviction of
Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee for muir
der in Georgia has apparently let
down the bars for the conviction of
other women in other states where
tradition has long held that it was
impossible to convict one of the
weaker sex of that crime.
Within three weeks after Mrs.
Godbee was convicted in Georgia
Mrs. Laura Reuter- was convicted of
murder in Oklahoma, and Mrs. Ida
May Keller was convicted of murder
in Missouri. All three women were
convicted of Staying their husbands.
Oklahoma, Missouri and Georgia
are all communities noted for their
gallantry toward womankind, and
the action of three juries as above
indicated is taken by leading lawyers
and iurists here as an indication that
a reaction has set in, so far as deal
ing with women by juries is concern
ed. They see in it the result, to
some extent, of the demand of Wo-
men themselves that they be given
equal rights before the law. 1t is
apparnt, at any rate in Georgia, that
a woman who kills can no longer
expect acquittal simply because she
is a woman and regardless OF wheth-
er or not her cause is just.

Letters Are Investigated.

It was thought to have sufficient
Importance for investigation, so it
was sent to the prison commission,
and by it turned over to Inspector
Jim West, who has Chatham in his
territory.
Inspector Vests letter came in,
and it is Illuminating. At the outset
it may be as well stated that Joe
is now on his third penitentiary
term, the last time going up for 20
years for robbing the house of Sa-
vannah physician.
Inspector West found that Joe was
connecting all these conscience let
tiers in his own behalf. A white
convict in the Chatham gang who
owns a typewriter, wrote the letter
signed Rachael Oakman" at Joe's
dictation. 1t is presumed that he
had some one else work up the other
one presumably from the daughter.
Hes smart guy" was Inspector
Vests not unjustified tribute to
Joe's prowess. At any rate, Wash
ington had a lot of folk working
themselves up over his sad case, and
he also made some reporters "fall'
for the story.
All of which shows that Joe is
Smart guy"

letter signed Mrs. Clara Small, in
closing a typewriter letter, which
she stated had been found among the
effects of her mother, Mrs Rachael

death.
1t was a beautifully worked out
story. The one signed Mrs. Oakman

Our New Name.

This <week the Independent
comes out under its newly adopt
ed name, The Tabor Independent.
The change in title was deemed
eXpedient for two reasons; name
ly, that the old title was a trifie
too long and clumsy and secondly,
was neither representative nor fit
ting. The Independent is publish
ed in Tabor and certainly the
name of the home should find first
place in it's title as is customary.

and medium; hence the title

PARTIALITY.

Why does the government require
postmasters, working on salary of
from $1,000 to $4,000 per year, to
devote their entire time to the du-
ties of their position, while men
higher up, like Mr.. Bryan for in
stance, can absent themselves from
This is fair question and one that
needs answering. The 5000 a year
department clerk must work eight
hours a day. He cannot leave
Washington at his own sweet will
to earn money to tide him, over
rainy day. OF course, it has been
customary for the men higher up to
shirk their duties when they felt like
it, but is it not time to overthrow
such a custom? Shouldn't the high
officials set good example for the
men under them? In referring to
this matter the Shenandoah, Iowa,
World, democratic, we'll says:
If Mr.. Bryan, on the $4,000 a
year salary has a right to help out
his yearly income by taking time
from his department work to make
money from other sources, then ev-
cry other clerk and assistant and Of
flee boy in his department possesses,
in a broad, fair-minded sense, that
same right. The clerk in this de.
partment who skimps along on a
5000 salary has fully as much right
to run away for few days and pick
up few needed extra dollars as
has Mr.. Bryan. He is not working
for Mr.. Bryan; he is working for the
government, as is also Mr.. Bryan. 1t
is not setting commendable en-
ample to the men under him and
working hand in hand with him,
when Mr.. Bryan absents himself
from his office for personal profit,
and herein is where the danger lies.

For the first time since 1897 the
country is now doing business under
democratic tariff, President Wilson
having signed the new bill Friday
evening. The new law is a very
good protective measure in many OF
its schedules and the hope is that ii
will not seriously affect the business
OF the country, nor is it expected to
materially reduce the high cost OF
living. So far as the manufacturers
are concerned they are, as a rule
very we'll taken care of, but the ag-
ricultural interests are hit hard If
the democratic theory of tariff al
ways being a tax is correct. But the
Freeman-Tribune doesn't believe in
that theory. 1t doesn't believe the
tariff on corn, oats, wheat, ETC., has
been added to the value of those
products and paid by the consumer.
upon a given article all conditions
surrounding the produ elton, sale,
transportation, etc, of said article
must be taken into consideration. An
impost duty may operate as a tax
and it may not, usually not upon
products in which there is legiti-
mate and spirited competition, as in
that case prices are governed by the
laws Of supply and demand But
time will tell just how the new tar
if measure will work out. The Free
n-Tribune hopes it will prove
generally satisfactory, to the end
that the question of prosperity may
be taken out of our political prob
lens and the civil rights of the peo-
pie and a just division OF the wealth
produced may have due considera-
ton. Our politics have too long
been upon the dollar plane. Men
have exploited personal interest at
the expense of the general welfare,

The question Of taxing money ant
notes and mortgages is treated diff
ferently in different states. Some
states exempt notes and mortgage.
and as a result interest is usually
cheaper in such states. 1t is under.
stood that in states where mort.
cages and notes are taxed the Dor.
rover usually pays the tax, and that
too, even when the loaner resides in
another state and is exempt from
taxation in the state where the
money is loaned. Here in Iowa we
tax notes and mortgages S. on the
$1,000. That is very low, but II
gives the nonresident loaner the ad-
vantage, as he has no taxes whatev-
er to pay. How would 1t work out,
do you suppose. to exempt ali
notes from taxation that bear six
per cent interest or less and all
mortgages that bear FIVE per cent or
less? Then make such paper pay a
tax equal to the amount Of inter
est above six and five per cent. Thus
If a mortgage bears six per cent
make the tax two per cent. This
scheme m:gA: lot work out salts
factorily, but it is worth considera-
ton. 1t is certainly to the advant-
age of all the people to have interest
rates as low as possible and scch 4

have submitted in the fear of upset

The size and enthusiasm of the
Roosevelt meeting in New York a
few days ago demonstrates beyond
peradventure that the republican
party, if it is to remain a vital force
in American politics, must be reor-
ganized in earnest and upon a basis
Of justice and equality. A mere
makeshift will not avail. The repub-
licans who left the organization a
year ago, or a large percentage of
them, will never return to the al
legiance OF the party unless it is
made genuinely progressive in its
leadership and purposes. Such a
meeting as that which greeted
Roosevelt could not have been unless
there was something back Of It that
represented principle. The charac-
ter, numbers and enthusiasm of the
men and women who made up that
gathe ring count for something and
old line republicans who try tc
brush it aside with a wave of the
hand will find later on that the
time has passed when the independ-
ent manhood of the, republican party
will submit to the old way of doing
things. The great body of republi-
cans who followed Roosevelt last
year care little for party names and
they will be back in the republican
party just as soon as the party again
becomes the instrument of the peo-
pie. Until that time the democratic
party will hardly have disputant
Of sufficient numerical strength to
give it even a scare.
