THOSE MISSING LAWS.


The child labor law and other laws
are now in effect, but by strange
oversight on the part of the lawmakers
not even the judges on the bench have
copies of the law. They are expected
to help enforce such laws, but they are
not even acquainted with them. II
seems that no provision was made for
the publication of those laws which
went into effect on the Fourth of July,
and SO we have the laws, but not even
a Judge on the bench knows what they
contain.
Fortunately for the welfare OF most
of us, our ignorance and the ignorance
of the judges will not affect the state
materially or morally. We might be
just as well off if we never found out
what new laws made for US went into
effect on the Fourth of July. And we
might be just as we'll off. or better If
the legislature that passed them had
never been in session. We make so
many laws every two years that Il
seems to be part of the necessary bust
ness of humanity to forget about them
in order to be either happy or to exist
at all. If the average man took the
trouble to inform himself of all the
laws that govern him he would 60

FROM SALOON TOWNS.

dubuque VlmeS-JOuruai.J
r The Cedar Rapids Republican, al
ways an exponent Of broad-minded-
ness. has the following to say Of mar
rowness In politics.:
For good and pious Methodist they
seem to have Brother Harding, the
lieutenant governor, rather promiscu-
ously mixed up with "liberalisms" of
various kinds. It Is possible that our
two by fours want all men cut after
one mental pattern-and that includes
not too much width between the eyes.
He must be narrow headed enough to
pierce gimlet hole. And thus, un-
consciously, the work Of making of
Iowans a narrow and bigoted people 10
going on among us. Why not put into
our humankind something Of the width
and the breadth of the prairies? Here
Of all places we should be liberal In
our thoughts. Here mental straittack-
cts ought not to be put on everyone.
Consider the breezes Of the prairies
and how wide their sweep is.
To which we add fervent amen.
There will be room for criticism such
as uttered by the Republican until men
give those who disagree with them
credit for average intelligence and
sincerity.

MATCH THE LAW WITH THE MAN..

The Chicago Herald speaking of the
new law Of Illinois, modelled and copied
from the red light law Of Iowa, known
as one of the Cosson laws, says this
law has teeth" The law enjoins the
realty leased or used for immoral pur-
poses. closes the building for all pur-
poses except as it is released under
heavy bond, brings out to public notice
the name Of the owner whether he is
sport or a praying deacon and goes
on past the lost woman and the pander
to the man of property who profits by
high rentals Of his property used for
an illegal and vicious purpose. In
Chicago the Herald predicts that the
Committee of Fifteen and other agen-
cies concerned will probably find warn
ing sufficient to close those places ex-
cept in the instances of bold and hard
ened offenders and looks forward to
time when years loss of property use
will have taught owners lesson and a
year in Jail will have tanned the dive
keeper The Herald finds it pleasant
to record this great change in the at
titude of the public toward the age
old disease OF society. 1t marks
finer justice, deeper humanity, a bet
ter insight into the needs of men and
women
The incident should be gratifying to
Iowa as a measurement of Iowa's ad-
vanced position in social progression.
One state after another has adopted
the law to which the Herald refers and
which has been in force and active in
Iowa many years, since George Cosson
and Web Byers evolved and succeeded
in placing it among Iowa statutes.
The national government came to Iowa
for this law and made it statute Of
the district Of Columbia In this as in
most other essentials to a higher plane
of morals and good government Iowa
is the shining example.
The law will deliver the goods. The
Herald is right about that-if the right
men are given Charge OIL Id 7" enforce
ment. A good law without brave men
back Of it is like a keen sword in the
hands Of coward or traitor.
In Chicago or in Iowa put none but
real men on guard. The sly and self
seeking politicians never yet gave
birth to law with teeth or fathered
it after it was born or made friends
with it until it had grown to mans size
and was able to do without them. All
the laws with teeth have been termed
foolish laws" damned with the poll
tician's curse Of mon enforcible."
Given a wise law and a brave man,
law and man with teeth, and reform
makes it's way fast and certain. The
necessity for good judgment and
wise selection is as grave when the
man Is to be picked as when the law is
to be enacted. Match the man to the
law.

terminable and filthy struggle over a
degenerate with blood on his hands.
Thaw, without much doubt should have
been legally killed under the laws of
his state years ago. That would have
ended matters satisfactorily TO all ex-
cept Thaw. AS it is the Thaw case
has dragged its Shiny way across a
decade. People who had no interest in
Thaw except as a degenerate and
murderer have eagerly demanded full
details OF the case. 1t has been filthy
mess where the power of money to
hold the attention of courts and delay
justice has been most apparent If
Thaw had been a tramp instead of a
rich hobo he would have been electro
cuted out of hand. If White had been
a decent. citizen instead Of a rich and
prominent Ebertine Thaw might have
been put away for life.
There is no lesson in the Thaw case
which has been offered over and over
unless that the legal processes which
permit a rich degenerate to plead thru
dozen courts for a term of years need
fixing to equal opportunity whether the
defendant is rich or poor The old story
of the scarlet woman whose feet take
hold on hell and of the scarlet man
whose end is disgrace and destruction
is old as vice and crime and degener-
acy, The unexampled publicity of the
Thaw case has been merely in supply
to q morbid demand the same morbid
ity that brings crowds about a mangled
corpse at the street corner that impels
men to seek morgues. visit dissecting
rooms, seek slums-the attraction of
the vicious, horrible. filthy and shame
full
Let US hope that it is over and that
Thaw and the entire nauseous potpourri
will be covered by the pail of silence.

QUEER SCENE IN IMPERIAL.


N. w. Cessna, who is travelling in
California, recently made a trip to Ell
Centre. in Imperial Valley, to visit j.
F. Wilson, formerly one Of Grinnelfs
prominent residents. He did not f1nu
Mr.. Wilson, who was away, but he did
have an interesting experience. The
Imperial Valley has recently been Wis
tied by an earthquake. When Mr..
Cessna approached the Wilson home
he found the door open. He walked
in. The front room seemed much as
is would be in ordinary circum-
stances. Mr.. Cessna walked into an
other room, walked across it, and to
his surprise found himself walking
right out into the yard. The side OF
the house had been taken right out
nv the earthquake However, Mr.
Wilson's friends will be glad to learn
that neither he nor Mr.. Wilson sus-
tanned any injury.

He hired ont in the spring until
after harvest or until latter cornpicK-
ing" In the older days he might draw
SIS to 500 a month and his washing
and mending". Later he arrived at the
dignity of horse and buggy and in
Guided "horse kept. But that was after
the farmer had shut off on having his
horses run to town after a weeks hard
work. Then the hired man asserted
himself and drove a shiny top buggy
with narrow seat adapted to counting,
had Thinker springs and BODY
loops" and piano box before the farmer
himself did. He did the horse chores
and in consequence his horse was
sleek and satiny Of coat. Sometimes the
farmers daughter favored the narrow
seated buggy and ofttimes favored the
hired man more.
He was an institution on the place.
He took orders but he knew what ne
was doing. In many instances the hired
mans judgment was deferred to by
the employer as final-for some hired
men knew more than the man who
paid their wages and some employers
were shrewd enough to see it. He kept
account Of stock on the farm. He knew
the farmers mind. A little thing like
a full woodbox behind the kitchen cook
stove and a full water pail made him
solid with "the Mrs" Those little at
darned socks and smiling acquiescence
in occasional sittings up with the eld-
est daughter and later in arguments
with pa over prospective marriage. He
got UP without calling. Indeed the laws
of the Modes and the Persians were
not more strict than that the hired man
should wake and rise at half past 4
without warning from the employer.
He sat in the front room with the fam
lily He "ate with company" when 1t
came and expected to be introduced"
like a member of the household should
be. He stayed late in the field when
the hay was down. He cut grain of
Sunday when it was "crinkling". He
was never a servant but follower,
feudal retainer who identified himself
with the farm as belonging to it and
who claimed himself the kings puir
cousin.
Perhaps he was a neighbor boy from
the next farm, an heir to broad acres
when the old folks got thru" Mayhap
he was one of those wandering work
ers who followed the harvest from the
south on up to the last farm this side
the Canada line. He may have been
"piker" who told strange tales OF driv-
ing six horses with one line back

unsophisticated and ignorant. If so his
ignorance faded and he t1nally learned
to drive a team with two reins and
understand western farming. And later
he owned farm of his own and had
cattle and horses on half dozen hills.
For he had learned thrift back in
"Murland" where s12 a month had
been big wages and a days work a
long one.
Where has he gone, the hired man
who. like the beggar maid reversed as
to sex, slept in the ashes and married
the kings daughter? Perhaps, if we
could find the old fashioned farmer and
the old fashioned farmers old fash
toned wife and daughters we should
find the old fashioned hired man near;
for he had that fine old fashion of
fidelity.
