Of attention either on the part of the
railroads or the county. If the slogan
safety first is to mean anything it must
mean what it says and not be subor

While it Is perhaps true that many ac-
cfdents come about thru recklessness
most of them arrive thru lack of az

of them occur On crossings where the
track is elevated above the roadway
and thru over caution which throttles
point Of crossing. And in this connec-
ton i. should be impressed upon the
auto driver that to drop into inter

taking an ordinary precaution against
the slaughter of himself and his pas

The most serious obstacle, however,
In the way of safety first on railroad
crossings is the desire of the railroads
and county boards to avoid expense.

THE DEATH PENALTY.
Davenport Democrat


The days Of capital punishment are
not past.
Over in Lee county Iowa. Matthew
~O'Donnell Is waiting to be hanged
Sept. IA. 1915. unless he is reprieved In
the meantime. An Iowa law of question
able kindness provides that the date OF
an execution must be placed more than
year ahead: so II hanging is anything
to worry about O'Donnell has plenty OF
time to worry The fact that he muir
dered his wife may also tend to make
the remainder OF his days little less
pleasant than they might otherwise
have been.
The guillotine Is still in use in Ger
many. and az grewsome story as has
appeared in public print Tor long time
is the story Of q double execution at
Strasburg, where q man and woman
were recently decapitated for poison
ing the latter's husband. 1t was the
same old crime for which we once sent
Mrs Behrens to the penitentiary from
Davenport. even to the paris green
with which the murder was effected.
But the punishment in the Davenport
case was nothing like that admins
tered in Strasburg. In fact. the gull
lotine is impossible in America.
Capital punishment continues to be
one of the great modern problems.
Like war, perhaps the more horrible II
becomes the sooner We shall be done
with 1t.

said of them. however. that they have
a real opportunity. If they care to i'm

organization by committing itself to
prohibition could actually have been
sure of carrying the proposition thru
over the probable democratic opposi-
ton; but IL the democratic organtza-

prohibition there Is and will be no
question of the requisite assistance
coming from the republican side. Tho
democrats by being good may be very

.LAUTERBACH UP
FOR DSBARMENT
Bar Asks That Lawyer,
Who Was Friend of
Lamar, Be Disciplined.

The Bar Association has asked the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court to disbar or otherwise punish
Edward Lsuterbach, for many years g
leader at the New York bar. The re-
quest is based on Lauterbach's con-
nections with David Lamar.
An indictment is still pending in the
United States Courr charging Lauter-
bach with conspirng with Lamar to
defraud j. p Morgan & Co.. the United
States Steel Corporation and Lewis
Cass Ledyard. Lamar, who was SEN
fenced to two years in the federal
prison at Atlanta, is now on bail pend
ing q review of his case by the higher
courts.
The charges against Lauterbach have
been pending in one form or another
before the Bar Association since the
summer of 1918, when the investlga-
tion of the Senatorial lobby committee
disclosed the activities of Lamar and
the connections of Lauterbach with
the Lamar telephoning enterprise. Be
cause of a desire not to prejudice the
case against Lamar the matter was
allowed to rest until after the co-called
wolf had been arrested in this city
and the indictment against Lauterbach
disclosed.
When il was decided TO push the
matter. Lauterbach frankly told the
grievance committee that he had no
desire TO fight for time or put the as
sociation or the state TO any unneces-
sarv expense. The formal hling OF
charges and the customary taking OF
evidence by a referee he waived, agree
ing 10 allow the case to go TO the Ap-
pellate Division on the record made IN
Washington and in the United States
District Court.
This in effect amounted 10 his throw
ing himself upon the mercy or the
court. for. should it decide that he
merits discipline for his connection
with Lamar's affairs, il may take INTO
consideration his action in tempering
its judgment.
A great deal Of pressure has been
brought 10 bear upon the Bar Asso-
citation by lawyers and others VINO
sympathize with Lauterbach and would
have the case dropped. These point
out that Lsuterbach, who IS now sew
enty years old. started in life as
poor boy, and Dy nara WoIh leaSHVN
the top Of his profession in New YORK.
As chairman Of the Republican Coun-
ty Committee Lauterbach made many
powerful friends. He was the doml-
mating spirit of the constitutional con-
vention of 1893, and did such good
work in educational matters, notably
as trustee Of the College Of the City
Of New York, that Manhattan College,
a Jesuit institution Of learning, broke
ali precedents in conferring upon him,
a jew. the honorary degree of Doctor
I Of Laws.
His private charities have been ex-
tensive. and now in his old age, with
/ his practice gone, his only son dead
/ by an accident. and separated from his
/ family. his friends urge that the man
/ tie Of charity may well be thrown over
/ his offences.
