The majority Of disappearance cases
are probably not of this type. But
there are enough of them to signify
a certain social responsibility. an
unwillipgness to bear ones part OF the

fulfill the obligations imposed by debts,
marriage, and the possession OF a FAM

No doubt in many cases the wife il

her own resources. The plight OF a
trusting woman, untitled by mother
hood for hard labor, but left by some
worthless human trash to feed herself
and her children. is about the most
pitiful thing in life.
The man guilty Of such an act de-
serves the limit OF punishment. Only

may prefer il to the labor OF support

WHICH LAWS, PLEASE SPECIFY.

We put laws on our statute books
and everyone seems 20 regard them as
almanac Jokes instead Of laws. The
lawmakers also are somewhat to blame
They have made TOO many laws and
they have not always asked whether
or not they could be enforced or even
ought to be enforced Laws
ought 70 bear some relation TO common
sense.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
1t is true that some laws manage to
get thru that never should have been
passed. But it is also true usually Of
such laws that nobody pays any at
tention to them and that they fall into
disuse naturally and without protest
The general and widespread chiti-
cism against slack enforcement OF law
is not directed towards laws that do
not bear some relation to common
sense On the contrary.
There is general complaint over non
enforcement Of the restrictive liquor
laws Does the Republican include
those statutes in the category Of laws
unrelated to common sense? The auto
mobile law Is the one most generally
and aagrantly violated but it is sens
IDLE and protective measure We can
not include taxation laws as lacking
in sense. The fact is that the necessary
and sensible laws are the ones most
violated and over which the most COM
plant OF nonenforcement arises.
Granted then that legislation with
out character of any sort gets thru
occasionally. the fact stands that the
laws where on public criticism centers
adversely or tavorably are either good
or bad Now what laws over which
criticism Of reimbursement IS general
are bad? What ones are unrelated to
common sense? What ones are fool
ish?"
The issue is not whether or not char
acterless legislation creeps by some
times but what laws over which dis
cussion has arisen are either bad, or
foolish or without relation to COM
mon sense Please specify.

BRYAN vs.. WILSON PROCEDURE.


When history is read by future
generation Secretary Bryan's action in
leaving the cabinet will be one Of the
events OF his period. Whether or not
his motives are political or patriotic
will then have been determined. Just
now we can only consider his own de-
tense of his course and at times like
these the country feels a patriotic duty
to stand by the president If 1t can.
Mr.. Bryan likens the German situa-
ton to a riot and believes that the
United States government should warn
its citizens to keep off the streets while
the rioting is going on but President
Wilson and his cabinet believe that the
right to wage war does not carry with
it the right to endaager citizens of
neutral countries when using the high
ways Of the world or when going about
on common carriers, hence it is the
presidents policy to warn the rioters -
TO use the Bryan smile, to observe the
law of civilization. He feels that 8
mayor who would publicly warn people
to stay away from the place OF the riot
without first trying to stop the riot
would in effect be inviting the rioters
TO go the limit.
The other conflict as 10 policy is as
TO Investigating the case and arbitra-
ton. Bryan would permit the lawyers
TO move for more specific statement as
&c facts ana 10 let the case go over to
another term when possibly the hti-
giants would have cooled eff and would
settle out Of court while the president
and his advisers feel that the war is
on now. that the alleged violations Of
International Law have been ccmmitte,
and they are in effect applying for
temporary injunction or restraining
order TO stop action Immediately until
The case can be adjudicated
AS Mr.. Bryan says both policies are
designed for q peaceful settlement hut
there is vast difference in the vigor
with which the two lawyers would go
into the same case.
Il Germany woait3 assure tie United
States that she would observe the law
as TO first putting non com blatant pas
senge-s in places of safety before de-
scroying merchant vessels and then
make sure of their contraband contents
instead OF shooting them on sight the
questions as TO her responsibility for
the violations already committed could
take their due course thru the pro-
cesses OF adiudicaring tnternation
disputes. What Mr.. Bryan suggests as
TO people avoiding the scenes Of conflict
is most excellent advice for the public
to obey but the policy OF issuing that
advice from the very Office which Is
charged with the duty Of compelling all
Tiolators Of international law to desist
in their violations is the rock on which
the administration has split. Provide
the temporary Injunction which viii
restrain all violation until the dispute
can be adjudicated and the Bryan plan
will meet with the presidents favor.
It Is, OF course, up to Germany to do
this but like the street railway cor
poration which desires to lay its tracks
during the night and before the re-
stra;ning order can be issued, the con-
troversy calls for something inlnle-
date. hence the exchange Of notes.

THE BOYS OF 81.

Old Glory is lying in Sioux City
from defeat and dishonor some fifty
years ago.
The annual encampment of the de-
Partment OF Iowa of the Grand Army
OF the Republic is open, and 1000 vet
Grams gathered to take part in the ex-
ercises. Mist of the bows of 81 have
passed the three years and-ten
mark, SO the mere fact OF their pres
ence at this encampment shows that
they are made Of unusual SUBTITLE
same stuff that in their young man
hood prompted them TO leave their
friends and their families and face
the hardships and dangers of the bat
tlefield in defense OF the union
A community could ask no greater
honor than that OF entertaining a body
of men like the veterans of the G. A.
r. There is thrill in their very pres
ence within the citys gates. especially
at time when there is such an urgent
demand for loyalty and patriotism Of
the sort OF which these men showed
themselves to be possessed at q crisis
in which the nation stood in dire need
