NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY is
NOW STATE LAW.

A great move in a forward direc-
ton was made by the legislature OF
Iowa when it passed the law calling
for a non-partisan judiciary.
The people of this judicial district
are exceptionally fortunate at this
time in having on the bench Two
eminent jurists who have served the
people faithfully and satisfactorily
in the capacity of judges of our court
We speak of Judge Maxwell of Cres-
ton ana Judge Evans of CorydOn
both CT whom have made able judges
of our court. Judge Evans aftilla'es
With the republican party, while
Judge Maxwell is democrat.
AS, under The new law, the politi-
al parties DO not nominate candi'
da1es for these offices. but they are
put on the ticket as non-partlsans
and as both the leading parties are
represented in these two men, who
are now on the bench, the Democrat
wants to join with the .Times-Repub.
lican of Corydon and advocate the
reelection of both Judge Maxwell
and Judge Evans to succeed them
selves at the election next fall.
The judiciary should be absolutely
free from politics-the judges should
re frain from mixing in political cam
paigns while on the bench-and we
do not believe this judicial district
can do better than to nominate these
two gentlemen and re-elect them tic
the Offices which they fill with credit
to themselves and honor to the peo-
pie OF the district-Corydon DEMO

Cruelty to Animals.

A Reporter reader recently MOTTO
ed an article calling attention to the
overlooking of the teams being used
in the paving work, and also made
note of the fact that two OF the
horses being thus used had died
since that article was published,
whereupon a letter was written to
the Iowa Humane Society at Des
Moines which received prompt atten-
ton and full directions how to pro-
coed in such cases, as we'll as now TO
go about the organization OF humane
society. While the latter is deslr-
able it is not a necessity in the pre-
vention of abuses coming under the
head of the one above named as there
is already ample provision for the
protection of animals, WHICH may be
enforced by anyone filing due infor-
nation, as witness the following
from the Code of Iowa:
Chapter TIA, Acts Thirty-second
General Assembly. Cruelty to AMI
mails. 'If any person torture, tor
ment, deprive of necessary susten-
ance, mutilate, overdrive, overload,
drive when overloaded, cruelty beat
of cruelty kill any animal, or un-
necessarily fail to provide the same
with proper food, drink, shelter or
protection from the weather, or drive
or work the same when unfit for
labor, cruelty abandon the same or
carry the same or cause the same to
be cruelty carr ed on any vehicle or
otherwise, or shall permit any other
act of omission by which unjustifl-
able pain, distress, suffering or death
is caused or permitted to any animal
or animals whether the acts or omis-
sions herein contemplated be commit
ted either maliciously, willfully or
negligently and if any person shall
knowingly permit such act or omis-
sion or shall cause or procure the
same to be done he shall be imprison-
ed in the county Jail not exceeding
thirty days, or to be fined not ex-
ceeding $780," - .....
1t is to be hoped that this know
ledge of the law will create more eau
ton and consideration from drivers
of weak horses as well as all other
persons disposed to abuse or neglect
animals. Otherwise some examples
will surely be made in protection of
those who can not protect them
selves, our dumb friends. Z,

OF VITAL CONCERN TO ALL.

Here is an utterance regarding to
railroad rates which is worth scrut-
ity:
An ideal transportation situation
can be attained only by large addl-
tons to the facilities and great I'M
provement in methods, said Chair
man Clark.
The added facilities can be got
ten only through expenditures from
surplus earnings or from expansion
of credit. In either way the total
cost to purchasers of transportation
would be increased.
Even if it be true that the pres
ent financial condition of transporta-
ton agencies is due to reckless, i'm
providept, or even dishonest, hnanc-
ing in the past, it would be mistake
to undertake to correct 1T by pol
lev of reprisal, which would impair
the usefulness or efficiency OF the
carriers upon which. the welfare
the very life-of the commerce OF
the country depends"
This is not the plea of railroad
president or a traffic manager. 1t is
not the argument of man depend
ing on railway patronage for bust
ness success. It is the utterance of
the chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission.
The situation is simple. The roads
have faced, in the past few year, the
general rise in price of railway sup
plies, the steady increase IN wages
which has resulted from "collectlVe
bargaining of the roads with federa-
tions of railway employees, the IN
crease in expense through legislation
concerning the size of crews and the
use of special safety equipment, the
increase in expense owing to the rise
of interest rates throughout the
financial world. Within the past
two years vast losses by storm and
flood have been added to the other
negative items With all this, rev.
enue. both passenger and freight,
have had a general downward ten
dency.
AS we write the danger of grave
Impairment of railway service is
acute.
Where must we look for the cure
of this situation? Wages we would
not lower if we could. Interest rates
and the cost of materials depend on
the natural laws of trade and COM
merce, which may not be amended
or repealed. Safety legislation in
creasing expenses, while some OF 1t
is bad, is mainly good and will stand.
The one course open is to grant SUCH
increase of rates as will make it pos
sible for the railroads to render ade-
uuate transportation service.
The Republic sees no other way
ont We stand with the chairman OF
the interstate commerce commls-
sion. We invite comment. This
matter of adequate transportation
service concerns vitality every man,
woman and child in these United
States. What shall we do in view
not OF the plight of the railroads, but
of the need of the public?-St. Louis

JUSTICE, NOT EXPEDTENCY.

President Wilson in his speech al
Mobile declared that he is basing the
foreign policy of this country on
justice, not on expediency. The bit,
terest critic of his administration
must admit that the president told
the truth. Dollar diplomacy and big
stick stuff bluff alike have been laid
aside; and resort is had to fair play
which has no more intent of wrong
ing others than OF suffering wrong
Aself.
Justice, not expediency-and yet,
in the long view, the two are one.
President Wilson could have gained
much applause from concession
hunters by recognizing Huerta. That
recognition would not have brought
permanent peace to Mexico, perhaps
not even temporary peace. 1t would
have convinced every Mexican and
South American that the United
States is ready to give the right hand
OF fellowship to any dictator, hoWev-
err blood stained he may be, and it
would have set a premium on politi-
cal murder in all lands from the Rio
Erande 20 Cape Horn.
The policy Of justice which Presi-
dent Wilson is pursuing makes for
permanent peace in all Spanish
America. 1t gives pause to every am
bilious dictator; it strengthens ev-
cry champion of constitutional
government.
The Journal repeats its belief that
the career of Huerta. when finished,
will not attract many imitatOrs.-

THE WILSON DOCTRINE.

Perhaps it will not be necessary
for President Wilson to issue the
promised formal statements describ-
ing the attitude of his administra-
ton toward Latin American. On the
| tn Of March he said:
We can have no sympathy with
those who seek to seize the power OF
government to advance their own
personal interests and ambitions.
We are the friends Of peace, but we
know that there can be no lasting
or stable peace in such circum-
stances.
Last Saturday, at Swarthmore, Pa,
speaking Of the conquest of Ameri-
ca for freedom and 5elf-goyernment,
he said:
would like to believe that all
this hemisphere is devoted to the
same sacred purpose, and that no.
where can any government which is
stained by blood or supported by any
thing but the consent of the govern
ed.
Yesterday, in an address before
the Southern Commercial Congress
at Mobile, after repeating in sub.
stance the sentiments above express
ed, he said of European interests in
America:
You hear of concessions to for
eign capital in Latin America, but
you do not hear of concessions to
foreign capital in the United States
States that are Obliged
to grant concessions are in the con-
dition that foreign interests are apt
to dominate their domestic affairs
It is emancipation from
this inevitable insubordination which
we deem it our duty to assist.
This is not the Monroe doctrine
1t is the Wilson doctrine 1t en-
bodies an ideal upon which all Ameri.
cans will agree. Itwars upon q com
mercialism which may be challenged

PRESIDENT WILSON'S FIRST
PROCLAMATION.

Every true American hopes that
things will look as favorable on
Thanksgiving day to President Will
son as it does now the week that he
has issued his first Thanksgiving
proclamation. People always peruse
with much interest the first Thanks
giving proclamation of president, II
happily they find therein some ne"
expressions. some new conceptions
with reference to an old subject
President Wilson is a man OF marked
individuality who, moreover, mas
shown an unusual aptitude for the
treatment of moral themes and his
proclamation is not without some fea-
lures directly referable to his person
atty.
For one thing, the president OBJ
serves with grateful satisfaction that
the nation has recently proved its
capacity to take calm council amidst
the rapid turn of affairs which is
equivalent to saying, in words OF less
dignity that the American people
have shown that they cannot easily
be ratified. He may refer to one OF
two things, either the radical change
in the political administration OF the
country with the Introduction of new
policies, or to the situation presented
by the turmoil in Mexico. Perhaps he
refers to both. Anyhow, we think
there have been circumstances to JUS
tify the deductions, and that all OF us
should share the chief magistrate
admiration of the poise Of the Ameri-
can temper.
Then, he says, "The year has
brought us the satisfaction of work
well done and fresh visions of our
duty, which will make the Work or
the future better still. This we re-
gard as decidedly Wilsonesque. He
had, no doubt, mainly in mind the
collective work of the American peo-
pie, but we may pardon him II ne had
some thought of his own.
The construction of the Panama
canal, advanced SO nearly to compile
ton that broad line of water now
marks it's course between the two
oceans, is an accidental circumstance
that gave the president an opportun-
ity for novelty in the proclamation.
He expresses his view both OF the
character of the work itself as an
achievement and of the significance

that will bring in a new age OF CO.
operation and peace. The suggestion
is majestic that Providence plants
his footsteps in the sea. We thanF
President Wilson for the suggestion
that the Panama canal is footprln
. Ut Providence between the seas.
We have felt the grievous hand o.
storm and drouth in the past year
and while it is true that we have hac
neace within our own borders anC
With other nations, yet our relation:
with some are not so pleasant as they
have been in the past and as we ear
nestly desire them to be. But the
president has very justly reckonet
the national goods and ills, and find:
balance on the side of the former
of abundant proportions to furnish
basis for a renewal of the recog
infant and pious recommendation
customarily made by the presiden
of the United States as the las
