grand jury or suffer the penalty pro-
v.ued?
Perhaps Il is not generally under
stood that the complainant who thus
court by refusing to testify after he
has settled" with the criminal has
been guilty OF All ind.ctahle offens.?
AT any rate it would appear that ig-
norance on this point is widespread
and common; for newspaper mention
of criminals released after having
found the money to settle with the
compliments are common items in the
press of the state.
Criminal informations. the use Of the
sherirs Office and invoking of the
criminal code to get the money back
is a dangerous operation under the
law. This fact should be made evident
by few purposeful prosecutions Of
such offenders. The man who swears
out a criminal information should be
made TO stand by it. The criminal who
issues bogus checks and the like should
not be turned loose at the beck of the
informant who gets his money back
except at the peril Of the person who
thus compounds felony. And this peril
should be made much more evident
than it has been.

as it actually did possess in those days.

1t has been a great season for letter
writing in Iowa. Every time one OF
our great men has felt consuming
desire to say something he has sat
down and written somebody letter.
True, he might have gone out and
made q speech, or he might have called

letter writing habit seems to be abroad
in the land, and it Is the old reliable
epistle that seems now to be in highest
favor in the politics Of the Hawkeye
state as a means Of setting things both
awry and in order.
The letter writing fad came into
evidence early in the Connolly Mere

April 30. wanted to indorse the cam
didacy OF Ed T. Meredith for the
United States senate, he takes his pen
in hand and addressed his burning

AN ANNOYING QUIZ
Huntington Hawkeye.l


Mr.. Bryan. it is said will visit Iowa
this summer. That, % course. means
a lecture or speech. Mr.. Bryan is not
accustomed 10 moving about in silence,
or standing still in silence. When he
rises to his feet it is an indication he
will say something. Therein Is where
he differs from John Lind, Pardon
the extraordinary antithesis Of our al
lusions to two conspicuous characters;
something was requisite as an intro
duction to the real topic of this article
which, after all, Is not exclusively
chautauquan.
When Mr.. Bryan mounts the ros-
trum in Iowa this question is liable To
rise I'D from his audience: How about
the Colombian treaty. Mr.. secretary
Then. probably will mature the
psychological moment when the chiel
of the state department will wish the
annoying inquiry could be passed on
to the man in the White House, For 1t
is not to be an easy task to explain
to the satisfaction OF the people that
anomalous bit of diplomacy. The pub
lie wants to know why the United
States should pay Colombia-the re-
public Of revolutions. Castro ana
grafts-the great big sum OF s25Oo0.-
GOO for the privilege Of building the
Panama canal, which is a blessing to
Colombia as well as all the other ma
tons of the world. The treaty nego-
tiated by the administration is uni
versally regarded as a colossal blunder,
yet the president insists upon Its rati-
fication by the senate. Judging by the
subserviance of both houses cf con-
gress to the edicts of the present oc-
cupant Of the White House, the demo-
cratic leaders, including Mr.. Bryan.
will feel bound to use every effort to
secure the ratification. They may, or
may not, succeed. If the senators fol-
lowing the example Of Mr.. Bryan by
going out among the people and, like
him. are to face this reproachful in
CURRY, they might conclude they can
not afford TO be identified with the
preposterous scheme. 1t is blackmail
and graft on the part Of the Colombian
adventures, and one which will find
no liberation among the people of the
United States.

A Keeper Of Peace.

Possibly the reason Mr.. Bryan does
not get ahead with the japanese ques-
ton as rapidly as Toxic desires Is that
he doesn't for the life of him know
what to do or say. This might be
sufficient explanation OF his delay in
answering notes. The brown brother,
the yellow brother. the red brother,
and the black brother are all Mr..
Bryan's brothers, but his affections
have to be kept under strict control
and his passion for justice has a
dolorous time.
He cannot tell the Japanese that they
are regarded as difficult; that their
little habits Of arrogance make them
immensely irritating to the other folk
who bump into them. that the two

lies MONIES
The Judge averred that four-f1fths
of the men hauled into court charged
with vagrancy are farm hands railroad
employees, college men going west ana
other men looking for work in the har-
vest fields Of Kansas Nebraska ana
the Dakotas. why, If my father comes
to town some day with load OF moss
and gets over on the east side in his
overalls I shall expect him to be ar
rested for vagrancy." -1nterview with
Judge Utterback in The Morning Reg
lister and Leader.
Judge Utterback does not strengthen
his position any with the reading pub
lie in Des Moines when he makes state
!nerts of this sort.
In the first place. everybody he hao
too much experience with the fioaters
and derelicts to be deceived into the
belief that four-f ifths of them are
either college men. or farm hands or
railroad employees or men of any other
sort looking for work.
The next place the judge credits the
police force with altogether too much
activity to say nothing Of malice.
The fact is, Des Moines is overrun
with a lot Of men who are half! way
women who are half way between
prostitution and crime, every one or
whom ought to be under public Charge
and at work under public super
vision.
What is needed ts not a lotsof mushN
sentimentality on the part Of Judges
with regard to the character OF the
people who are brought up by the po-
lice. What is needed Is demand tor
a proper place where the derelicts OF
the city can be put to work.
Inasmuch as Minneapolis has acted
in this matter. and is making a sue
cess OF the experiment, why should not
the discussion in Des Moines be turned
to the main point?
Why should not Judge Utteroack, in
stead of setting everybody free, be
telling the police department to get
prison farm and brick yard, as MIN
neapolis has done, where he can put
these people to work for sixty or ninety
days?
