THE BADGE OF vALOR.

{. :
With very few exceptions the news
papers of the state seem to be of the
opinion that the s. opening prayer
for the legislature should be done away
with, the idea being to save the SIS to
the taxpayers of the state. While no.
body will accuse this newspaper of
being particularly partial to the
preachers we want to go on record for
the statement that any clergyman who
is brave enough to ask the Almighty
for favors for the Iowa legislature. as
a whole, is brave enough to merit a
reward of at least five one-hundred
cent bones"

AWE INSPIRING LEGISLATURE.
[Muscatine Journal

Emotions Of surprise not unmingled
with awe and perhaps little conster-
nation move US as we behold the spec
tacle Of our august legislature at work.
Where in progressive and prosper
Gus Iowa some of these lawmakers
were found and What force or forces
placed them in the legislature is a
political enigma we never hope to see
satisfactorily solved.
Perhaps the passage Of the Johnston
bill by the house might be regarded
as sufficient to prepare the state Tor
any subsequent Sagueries OF the legts-
lative mind, but even after the assault
on good roads, we were unprepared for
the action OF the house n placing the
bill to abolish the board Of parole on
the calendar, after the committee re-
port had doomed 1t to the ignominous
fate Of "postponemeEt."
We can not beileve that It is the
purpose Of a majority OF the members
Of the house to destroy the indeter-
inmate sentence law and the parole
system. We are not at all certain that
there have not been some in5ustices
in the application Of that system in
Iowa, but these injustices, II suca there
have been, were not Of a sort that
could not be remedied by much less
, drastic measures than the destruction
of the entire indeterminate sentence
and parole system.
What inspiration and what politi-
cal support is behind the coterie of
lawmakers IN the house who have
their eyes turned back t. the dark
ages of the past we can not fathom.
Surely this issue was not publicly
/ raised in the last campaign. There
were then no open threats to assail
anc il possible destroy the progress
sive achievements OF tn, past two de-
cades.
/ Yet the rea ct.onary character OF the
house has been evident from the very
start There has been no more start
/ ling evidence of /: than mis- indication
Of very nsiderable support for the
proposal to again steep our criminal
procedure in medievalism.

read the editorial pages of the Chi

read the editorial pages of the coun-

possible, however, that the victory OF
the Johnston measure in the house
may prove an effective factor in cree

Of history repeating itself. The liquor
interests of Iowa were not satisfied
with the mulct law. They kept agitat-
ing the question until finally the over
whelming prohibition sentiment in the
state, hitherto content with the mulct
law, wiped 1t from the statute book
and substituted something drastically
more unpleasing to the liquor men.
The repealers are not satisfied with
the present highway commission COM

adequate road program. Then let the
big majority in the state which ia
