FRANK HOLT

That Frank Holt, who wounded j.
p. Morgan, was a lunatic, is plain
enough; with the same order of mind
that Giteau, who shot President Gar
field, possessed, except that Holt was
an accomplished scholar, which made
him more dangerous. The chief UNI
DERIVING traits in such creatures are
vanity and selfishness; the desire to
enjoy honors or emoluments or both,
which they had never earned and
failing, to get revenge in some spec
tacular way which will draw atten-
ton to them. Had there been no
European war, Hollis mind would
have progressed and found vent in
some other tragic way.
His education only ministered to
the devilsh desires which were all
the time latent in his selfish soul.
All that would have been needed
would have been some exciting
cause.
Disappointment in any direction
would have been enough to have
started the thought that he had been
personally wronged, or that some
theory of his had been disregarded
or trampled upon, and then revenge
in some spectacular way would have
been his study. All the time, too,
while planning a sensational tragedy
he would have concealed with a dew
ilish subtlity his real nature. With
such creatures all sense of justice is
dead and it is their habit to finally
conclude that what ever interferes
with their desires must be unjust.
I If this man Hollis real history
could be obtained we suspect that it
would be found that he was born to
uploving parents; that through life
he has never had any respect for the

the field for this offensive is diff
cult to say. 1t may be the great
army OF defense from Paris, which
does not feel itself threatened just
now, or it may be newly trained
young reserves, or perhaps troops
rested after fighting in Champagne
and between the Meuse and Mo-
selle.
Although we have every conf
dence that this offensive will not
lead to driving US out of Flanders
and Northern France, as the enemy
hopes, still an attack with great nu-
merical superiority may bring about
a backward and forward battle
which may go on for a long time
without reaching a positive decision.
In these circumstances it must be
remembered that the giving up of in
diVtdual points on an extended front
is not catastrophe, and the trenches
which the French have taken from
us between Carency and Melville
they have had to defend with bloody
losses and without any certainty of
keeping us out permanently.
The general situation on the
western front is that a development
toward a decision will lie in the ques-
tion of whether we are stronger in
defense or the enemy stronger in at
tack"
The military critic of the Mau-
chester Guardian takes a similar
view, and, speaking of this continual
exchanging of trenches which has
marked the fighting in that region,
says:
In themselves the military effect
OF these combats is often little more
than a mutual Strengthening in which
that side wins which puts the great
est number Of men out of action.
Eye witness has himself drawn at
tention to this aspect of the war. I'LL
timateIy numbers will win-num-
bers of men and numbers of guns.
The allies, especially since the entry
into the war of Italy, have the great
er resources in men. If, therefore,
they succeed in putting out of action
more or even only as many Austro-
Germans as they themselves lost
and do not fall behind in armament
they are fighting a winning
battle"
The fighting in this region, in
which the famous Labyrinth" is
situated, has been very severe, and
the London Morning Post tells us
that the now-captured Labyrinth,
which lies to the south of Melville
st. WAIST, contains in an area of
some two square miles a perfect
maze of trenches over 10 miles long
in the aggregate.-Literary Digest.

laws; and that no discipline ever con-
trolled him except through his per-
81 nal fears.
The mental disease in this form is
latent from birth, If not prenatal. so
ali that is needed is some exciting
cause to set the germs into active
growth at any time, and without any
particular cause they begin to grow
and eliminate in some tragic form
soon after the age of 40 years is
reached.
There should be more study of the
mental tendencies of the youth of
our country in the schools, and more
and more should be impressed the
truth that unloying marriages are
crimes. Holt should be commended
for his final act, for he rid the world
of a monster.
The foregoing was written before
the story of Hollis life was wired.
That shows that he has been dan
gerous lunatic since birth, at any
time ready to commit murder, if any
one crossed him or made him trouble
or offended his vanity; like the old
story of the man that had sold his
soul to the evil one for a promise
OF a life of pleasure and freedom
from physical pain, only it is clear
that Holt was so sublime an egotist
that he had determined to make an
unheard Of sensation, and at the
same time counted on escaping, as
he had done before.
He evidently was one of the most
dangerous peryerts that there is any
record of,-Goodwin's Weekly.

COUNTY ADVISERS FOR WOMEN

1t seems but yesterday when we
had the first county adviser for the
farmer. Farmers were rather sus-
picious of this. What advice did they
need? We earnestly commended this
movement, predicting that its extent
would be limited only by the num-
Der of men capable of being advis-
ers; for a man must be a pretty big
man to be a successful county ad-

time will come when every county
IN the agricultural sections of the
United States will have county

The latest brand-new thing is a

comes to us a sort of surprise. We

We don't know how the move
ment originated in the other states
mentioned, but in Illinois it origi-

We have strong suspicion that it
will never succeed till the women
take it up. A hundred farm women
got together, originated and planned
and proceeded to carry their plan
into execution by getting about 1900
women in the county to give or
pledge dollar a year each for three
years toward securing a county adj
wiser, to whom they pay $500 a
year.
We imagine we see the eyes of
some of our farm girls snap when
they think Of that $500 a year. and
of the fun there would be in riding
around in an automobile over the
country and talking to women
about, what? Domestic economy,
social life, cooperation in church
and school, better ventilation, bet

TURNING POINT OF WAR

A confident prophecy that the

military critics now engaged in writ
ling on tactical themes. His Prophecy
seems to be based upon the some

pert OF the Berliner Tageblatt,

that events are shaping to what both
EWrlters term a decision. 1t is
curious that these critics should
agree on such a point at a moment
snen the fighting on the western

aalte uneventful, and when the at

Now that the question of appropria-

for the ensuing period the matter Of

Of the state board Of education should
be taken up and given particular at

the time the next legislature meets
public sentiment should be sufficiently
strong to render school Hobbies and
lobbyists more calculated to defeat
that to gain their own detectives.

SENATOR AlpR,cH.

En- Senator Aldrich, long a dominat-
ing figure in the senate of the United
States. is dead at IA His official career
which ended by retirement four years
ago, began as a member of the Provl-
dence common council in 1871 and con-
tinued thru the Rhode Island assembly
to the close of his latest term as United
States senator in 1911 Elected senator
from congress to which he had been
twice elected he held that office con-
tinuously from 1881 to his retirement.
Aldrich was type of the strong men
of his day in the senate and in the
republican party. AS representative OF
the manufacturing interests of the east
he. more than any other senator or
congressman. controlled tariff legisla-
ton. An extremely wealthy man his
voice was potential in monetary coun-
ellis He was of the early and sectional
type of eastern politician and states
man particularly interested in his own
section and lightly concerned as to the
west except as it was tributary to
eastern interests. 1t was the school in
which eastern statesmen were trained
and made in his day. Consequently he
was not popular in the middle west and
when Doliiver in his later years met
and routed him in the great tariff fight
the progressive sections of the west
rejoiced at his downfall.
What history will say OF Aldrich in
those later years when real history Is
written remains to be penned. He was
of a passing type of strong men from
whom the present inclines away,
strong tho narrow type, one that looked
upon senatorships and politics in gen.
eral as a struggle for advantage. Forty
years ago it was the common type.
But it is not the type that wins leader
ship today. Aldrich was of the old
guard. What history shall say of that
school of politician statesmen remains
10 DE written. The truest estimate II

YOUR INCOME Yous SECRET

Mr.. Hippee, a rich man OK Les
Moines, has lifted a load from the
minds of great many other rich men
and some poor men as well who find
more or less of unpleasantness in the
question of census enumerator as TO
what salary the citizen enjoys ana
what his home is worth. Hppee re-
fused to answer. He was arrested,
tried and the district court, finds that
there is no authority granted in the
statute to the executive council of the
state to ask a man how much he earns
or how much his home is worth
The enumerator's questions on the
census card read: Total earnings for
1914 from occupation? and again
Value of home or FARM Hippee re-
fused to answer.
The law reads as follows:
THE executive council shall cause
10 be prepared and printed, blank
forms suitable for the purpose Of tax
ing the census. 10 enable the assessors
10 make uniform returns of population
and agriculture for the census. The
schedules relating to the population
shall comprehend for each inhabitant,

ditions, place of birth and place OF
birth of parents, whether alien or nat
uralized. number of years in the United
States and in the state OF Iowa, occu-
patton, months unemployed, ltteracy,
school attendance and ownership OF
farms and homes, and the executive
council may use its discretion as TO the
construction and form and number OF
inquiries necessary TO secure inforMa-
ton under the topics aforesaid
Judge Conroy says: as to this inquiry
about mans earnings: Il find nothing
in the statute that gives the executive
council or any assessor the right to
ask such questions. The legislature
has attempted to allow the executive
council within the limits OF the statute
to formulate and ask such questions as
Will be proper under the subject men
as to the income either from occupa-
ton or any other source and II it Is
not in the statute it certainly can not
be put into it by the executive coun-
Gill;"
AS to the other question the court
saws 81 am of the opinion that the ex-
exutive council has no power or
authority under the statute to require
one TO answer to the value Of their
home, the mere ownership being re-
ouired TO be answered by the statute"
The decision Of the district court
does not decide the case for it is open
to appeal, but no man can read the
! Language OF the statute without realiz-
ing the sound sense Of Judge Conroy's
! opinion for authority to ask these
questions is not in the law, and men
who wish to treat their salaries and
the value Of their residences as conf
Dental will be justified in doing so un-
til the supreme court writes this Law
into something which it does not nov
appear to be.
