The Survival Of Barbarisn,,

The greater part OF humanity in
New York City is in the grip of an
emotional horror. Our Easter time has
been invaded by a nightmare. Ye are
able to realize that capital punishm ent
matters little as it affects few muir
derers each year, but that it matters
greatly inasmuch as it poliutes the
imagination. fans the hysteria and
shakes the faith in organized society
among millions Of people.
We care little for life in America,
with our twelve thousand annual hon.
icides and our hundreds Of thousands
of deaths from preventabie disease and
industrial accidents. Whether the gun
men died or stayed on for a living
death in Sing Sing need not have con-
cerned the public at large.
But what ought to concern us Ameri-
cans is the survival of barbarism. OF
savage emotionalism. OF the blood

KENNEDY AND TREWik.

Professor Kennedy has resigned his

The president and the board state that

other must go.

A TRIUMPH FOR WATERLOO.

The triumphant return Of the Iowa
booster party to Waterloo Saturday
was one of the greatest moral victories
Of its kind ever achieved by the city.
When the Iowa legislature refused TO
appropriate money for an exhibit al
the Panama exposition, Waterloo busl-
ness men asked to be permitted TO
handle the exhibition and undertook to
raise $4,000 among themselves. we
were derlded by rival cities who said
We could never do II.
But when Waterloo showed she
meant business, the other towns be-
gan to ask for representation. Inc
loca! promoters acquiesced and opened
the contribution box around the state.
Then the scoffers began TO say we
failed at our original undertaking and
We're passing the hat to save our races.
Something had to be done and then
local inspiration conceived the Greater
Iowa organization resulting in the tour
which was concluded Saturday In COM
plete triumph Waterloo has not only
redeemed herself She has awakened
the state to her opportunities. She has
spread the gospel Of fraternity ana
knocked provincial Jealousy In the
head.
She has shown that she can work for
Iowa as we'll as for Waterloo.

Five minutes later he knew who the

But old Carney began to cringe as
the bidding went up, and when 1t had
reached $3.50 he drew out. His son
tried to brace him up. and he got the
laugh from the others. but he con-
solded himself by retorting:
"The Teller can have the farm, but
