TIowa City Republican,
There are some ugly stories running
loose regarding the use OF liquor in this
county by candidates and party work
ers The Republican has no use for
such things. 1t is indecent and shame
full to conduct campaigns IN such man
ner. Possibly the reports ere not true.
We hope they are not. but they should
be Investigated. man Of high stand
ing says he knows the reports are true.
out he does not want to be mixed up
in such things and he declines to tell
who were concerned, or even to say to
which party they belonged. 1t has been
several years since candidates have re-
sorted to such tactics. The Republican
hopes the county attorney and the
grand jury will take up this matter and
II anybody has been using liquor for
election purposes he hsould be ex-
posed We do not care who gets hit.
Just SO the guilty are the ones to get
the lick.

In Iowa We have the judicial non
partisan nomination, and the judicial
election. The people have no chance
thru any partison convention to know
anything about the candidates. The
candidate must make his own cam
pa!sc By seadtns cut circulars and
pamphlets. He must urge his friends
to action by private letter, in the abb
sence Of publicity. This gives an op-
portunity for new campaign methods.

Let Government Tax Revolvers.

From the washington IlmeS.
New York passed a law which has made
it well-nigh impossible to buy and sport
d revolver or pistol. But it is of little
practical effect because the bad mar with
trouble in his system has but a run over
into New Jersey or into Connecticut to
got an arsenal suited to his purpose. Chief
City Magistrate McAdoo, of New York,
who knows how general the toting habit
is and how much crime it induces. has
taken up the effort to create sentiment in
favor of a national law against carrying
concealed weapons.
The modern, automatic magazine re-
volver with a silencer attached is about
the most wicked instrument that coward
ice. malice. and c%ussedness could posi-
bly, wish. 1t is so dangerous to the de-
cent community. so we'll cdapted to con-
ceal and protect the cri. I nal. that there
seems little chance of suppressing it's evil
work. short of f%orbidding it's manufacture.
Why not? The internal revenue tax on
alcoholic liquors is pretty effectively en-
forced: it would be no harder to enforce
restrictions On the making and sale OF
dangerous weapons. Prohibition might
even be made to prohibit. in this case.
There are doubtless some few proper uses
to which a revolver nay be put: but they
are not nan The average gun kept in a
home or office as a means of defense is
not needed, and it is a good deal more a
than a protection to it's owner. A
man has about 100 times as much chance
to lose his life by accident as he has to
save it by reason of keeping a weapon at

Old Foes With New Faces.
From the Indianapolis News.

Our old friend Public Hearings comes to
the. front in connection with the canal
toll bill. He rushes to the rescue now
with something like his old-time blithe-
someness. for 1t is said. although the con-
clusion is foregone, that he will be al
lowed to consume Is days. He was a
great friend in emergencies during tho
days Of the standpat supremacy. AS there
are more signs than one that standpat is
trying hard to come back, lit is appro-
pirate that the %co-partner, Public Hear
ings, should also appear. And, although
that he will not be able to defeat the re-
peal Of toll exemption, let 1t not be CON
Guided that therefore he plays no part.
He plays a large n valuable part for
those that want to lay a foundation for
a case that has no real foundation in the
feeling Of the people. We may. hope that
that he can. But it is a pity that we
should have to revert to this old style Of
confusing public affairs. We shall in
creasingly find that the foes to be met are
the old foes with new faces, that is all.

traved their country?
When the treaty had been signed and

umph of American diplomacy. That the
