THE FLAHEars AND HaussmANNs.

Down in an undesirable location
somebody had put an old cottage
bought at a next TO nothing price and
moved to the lot. The cottage was next
to nothing which accounted for the
price. The price accounted for posi-
biIity OF purchase by the man who had
bought and moved it it its new location.

Little by little the old cottage took on
a better aspect. Minor repairs were

into existence. Lath fenced runs for

a Sermon For Ministers.

M1nQedpOlS &SS"S.J
One OF the best meetings we ever
heard OF occurred. recently, at C1ncin-

it that fits other vocations than driving
horses.
Gentlemen" he said, preachers have
frequently asked me why the working
man doesn't go to church more.
Il can answer for the unorganized
teamster. II the teamster got better
paw and better working conditions. and
was allowed to organize, he would go to
church The reason he doesn't go to
church il because he can't.
Sunday morning he must spend In
the stable with his horses. In the AZ
ternoon he goes back to the stable, and
in the evening he is in the stable again.
He must have clothes to 90 to
church. The only clothes he has are his
working clothes. His children are bare
foot. His wife has not much more
than her house dress.

NO SUCH THING?
Waterloo Courier. ]

"
Iowa still believes that the way to
reform a criminal is TO prevent him
from supporting his tam.ly. That is to
say. the criminal and his family are
both punished. The Iowa penal sys-
tenn practically works attainder Of
blood, a thing specifically forbidden in
the United States constitution. In
form it doesn't, but in effect it does
Iowa City Repu biican.
The point is that Iowa doesn't be-
lieve any such thing. If Iowa people
had their say today. no such punish
ment would be inflicted upon the in
nocent sufferers Of family disgrace. It
is one Of the curiosities of modern
institutions how long medieval prac-
tees are permitted to live solely by
the protection of legislative inertia.

THE SMALL TOWN.


In the discussion Of social questions
it is quite common to jump from city
to country and from country to city
again, quite ignoring the small towns
tina. often are not classed as either
rural or urban.
Iowa has nearly 1000 incorporated
ulation and comprising a third OF the
entire population of the state.
Business conditions. municipal i'm
provements and home building in these
little towns give quite as true an in
dication Of the general prosperity OF
the state as IS furnished by the erec-
ton of six story city blocks and the
purchase of automobiles by the farmer
Iowa's small towns are prosperous
You can hardly find place OF 1,50o
population that is not erecting
dozen comfortable homes. usually OF
the most modern type. Those towns
which do not already possess public
lighting systems, sewerage and water
works are acquiring these modern &C
cessories just as fast az they can.
Within these modest homes will be
found standard citizenship OF the
state. In the small town social con-
ditions are as nearly ideal az may be
found. There the church bells are
heard on Sunday morning with rev.
erence that seems to be lacking In the
larger cities. where the grind OF the
trolley car intermingles, and the
pleasure seeking crowds uncover not
for chime or benediction.
In these small towns there Is less tc

the lynchings. Two negroes were
lynched for frightening white women,
one for insulting white woman, and
another for being found concealed I'M
der the bed in a woman's room. Two
negroes were lynched for shooting or
assaulting white men, one for robbery
and shooting, one for assisting negro
murderer to escape, and another for
horse stealing. In one case the crime
charged against tho victims was not
stated.
The gratifying decrease in lynch
ing in Southern States is attributed
largely to the efforts that have been
made by governors, county sheriffs
and prominent citizens in the last few
years to prevent mob violence. Many
of those in authority have acted
promptly and theoretically to prevent
lynchings, with the declared policy OF
giving the law free opportunity for
the punishment of all alleged offend
ers. white or black.

TOTAL FOR 1918
LOWEST NUMBER ON RECORD,
MORE THAN FIFTY BEING RE.
CORDED LAST YEAR.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 27.-Only forty
four lynchings, known to be such be-
yond doubt, have occurred in the Uni
ted States during the year 1913. This
is the lowest number on record, more
than so being recorded last year and
as many as $50 in some previous
years.
The record for the year shows de-
cided improvement in other respects
than in mere number of victims. So
far as the newspaper accounts show
none of the victims was burned at
the stake an atrocity that has been
INDUCED in by Infatuated mobs more
than once in the past Nor were any
of the lynching cases this year accom-
panied by the so-called race riots
which always added to the number Of
victims and served to intensity the
antagonism of the white and blacl
races.
