TALLY FOR JUDGE SIMS.

disturbing the peace.
II don't want him prosecuted. judge,

compelled Under to pay 81 costs Tor

Sioux City News.
Judge Sims, whoever he is, is en-
titled to the thanks of the community.
That assessment of 81 fine was a
happy thought. 1t would have been
even happier had the judge made it $50.
Judge Sims precedent would be an
excellent one for district judges to fol-
low. When some one has started a
criminal prosecution in order TO COL
lect bill and the case comes up to
the province of the district judge 1t
would be a pleasing matter TO chroni-
Gle were the judge TO order prosecution
of the prosecuting witness who desires
to drop the charge because he has
"got his money"
For instance: When Jones charges
embezzlement because Brown can thus
be scared into a settlement Jones has
started something that he should not
be permitted to drop when Brown pays.
Mr.. Jones has either brought false
crinina! charge or he has compounded
a felony which is an offense as seri-
ous as embezz!ement. And Jones
should be made to understand it.
1t is not an uncommon process this
misuse of the criminal code as d col
lectine agency 1t ought &c be brought
up with a round turn.

publican, however, has found the better
viewpoint. 1t is true. Were Major
Lacey alive he would find out how
many men liked and admired and re-
spected him for his many splendid
qualities. If he could come back in that
higher understanding Of things which
we are prone to believe is the province
of the spirit freed from corporeal dress
he would know universal friendliness
to which ambition and struggle and the
passion Of present defeat and victory
are strangers.
Men meet hypocrisy in their paths
whether their roads run thru the fields
of business or Of politics. They meet
much that to them in disappointment
seems to be hypocrisy but is not. STRAIT
egg in battle or business approaches
hypocrisy in appearance as it approx
mates it in fact. Men keep their own
counsel. They take advantage of mis-
takes. They put the best foot forward
detriment of their own purposes. And
We who lose the game incline to nurse
our wounds and excuse our defeats.
1t is true that some real and actual
hypocrisy turks among much that is
imaginary and distorted by our own
self shortened perspective into hypo-
critical form. But that men are hypo-
critics is no more true than that all men
are liars as David said in his haste and
took back in sober earnest
When death has settled ali difficult
les with its fnality; when the passions
of men flicker and die out over coffin
lid; when hatred burns out for lack of
fuel to feed itself upon. when the heat
of struggle and the strain of combat
fade and living men look upon those
who faced them coura geously, I'M
finchinsly, in war or in business or in
politics, respect and high regard and
sincere appreciation rule the hour 1t
is time when personal affection
pushes aside the exigencies of struggle
and comes to stand in sadness and sor-
row in the place of dissension And
upon the Bonded head Of such friend
ship is no mark and stigma of hypo-
crisy.
1t is true, universally and happily
true. if men could come back to know
and see and listen they would find out
how many friends they had and how
we'll they had deserve them.

a. II Shenandoah with 5000 people
ought not to lay down and confess Its
inability to compete with them.
John McComb gave to the city
beautifully located ohautauqua park. to
be used for chautauqua purposes, and
the former chautauqua board raised
money and set out trees to beauty the
same. II the chautauQuas are apan-
doned we presume this valuable proper
ty will revert back to the McComo
estate.
But why not Shenandoah have a
successful chautauqua? Why do the
guarantors have to put up 30 or 50
every year to make up the shortages,
besides bearing the chief part of the
burden of labor and running expense?
Certainly nobody will blame them for
getting tired of it.
The trouble is that only about 500
people in Shenandoah take any interest
in the chautauqua. The other 1900 do
not attend. The 500 who do attend ask
for high grade talent, such as costs
$4,000 to $4,000. If cheaper talent is
engaged they will not attend.
The Shenandoah people lack the 10y
atty to home enterprise that the
people of the other towns show. When
Farragut or Essex holds chautauqua
practically everybody-the whole popn-
lation Of the town joins in to support it.
Without that sort of spirit it is use
less to try to hold chautauquas in
Shenandoah. Last summer a goodly
number of the we'll do people. who
could afford to attend the chautauqua,
We're off to the lakes or mountains.
They went on the guarantee. to be sure,
and help to pay the losses. but it takes
attendance to make a successful chau-
tauqUa.
