THE poLIecEMAN's EASIEST WAY.

cred the Cosson law. Not that the
Cosson laws dealing with red light re-
sorts and recalcitrant officials are new
but that the Sioux City police had been
so busy that it hadn't noticed them.
Now that the police chief is on his way
toward three year term at Fort Mad
ison the Cosson laws loom up like
grain elevator on a foggy day, es-
pecially that law which provides for
injunctiors against the property used
for immoral purposes and makes the
landlord responsible for the character
Of the business conducted in his build
ing The police power has never asked
for an injunctions. It now proposes
to call for injunctions and to publish
the names of property owners when
raids are made on resorts where the
laws are violated.
That means a quick cleanup in Sioux
City. Now that the graft has been
exposed and the decency Of the city

tons made at the Pierce trial the po-
lice Is ready to place responsibility
on the property owner and invoke the
Cosson law. It is the sensible way for
a police force and a police commits
sioner to take. The sheriffs were re-
lieved OF a great worriment when they
h1, n rpn1y tho ola ba
sires favors that they must do their
duty or withstand removal proceedings.
So with the county attorneys. The laws
give the sheriff and prosecutor who
desires to be clean a chance to slough
off crooked influence that commands
votes. The police forces of this state
of they choose, can make the Iowa
statutes the best weapon in their
hands, can relieve themselves Of much
trouble and effect their own purposes
If they are purposes in line with their
sworn duty-much more easily.
The Cosson laws against illegal re-
sorts are especially police laws. They
afford the police and the county attor-
ney excellent ground Of vantage upon
which they should work together. When
the police and the county attorney are
at variance It may be assumed that
one or the other needs fixing. Their
work dovetails. They should work to-
gether. Il they can not something is
wrong with one or the other. It Is so
In Sioux City. It Is just as true in
other towns including the one in which
any or all Of us happens to live.
Put this down as automatic; the
Cosson laws II honestly invoked will
clean out every blind pig, every i'm
moral resort that pays rent to a land
lord whose greed outruns his dscency.
That is also as true in all towns a. in
Sioux City. It all depends upon the
character Of the police and the prose-
cutor.

THIS IS IOWA.

loQa"a bS'IOCtdlJ
Nature has done SO much for Iowa.
more than we sometimes can under
stand because Of our limitations to
comprehend the beauties around us.
In music, he who interprets his
thoughts alone In what Is known as
common chords, writes only on a single
plane, and, like the artist who has not
the ability to blend colors, or immense
his soul in natures bosom, has lost the
heart of the most beautiful in art.
But he who has command Of the
realm of harmony, with It's manifold
chords in their chromatic coloring and
endless progressions IS like the artist
who can paint glorious harvest scene
in the valley, or plain, and fading
sunset over a snow capped mountain.
or a peak, or an oceans bosom.
This is Iowa.
Where all the seasons carpet or
velvet green walled in with banks OF
roses, where birds MARBLE incessantly
in their mathis and lambs frolic in the
suns rays; where the cattle Craze on
the hillsides, and the waters rush down
the rivulets; where The fruit blossoms
and ripens and the harvest comes. All
this seems like happy consummation,
and so it is.
But beautiful as this is, It Is but one
scene; it is the artist with but one
hope. and the composer without the
beauties of meditation.
With 1t alone we would long for the
autumn-the Indian summer time with
its shortening days unequaled by the
coloring of an Italian sky or cline.
We, too, would tire of the elixir OF
winter, when the ice king buries the
earth under a mantle of snow; when
the rivulets cease to rnurmur and when
the child life tumbles in the snow and
initiates the north man by building his
castle out of snow; when the young
and the old spend the long evenings In
their tales of love, stories Of home and
affection and adventure; when much OF
nature has gone to sleep, but only to
awaken in a glorious spring resurrec-
ton.
This is Iowa.
Spring is a picture of the resurrec-
ton, it is this and nlore-it is a reality
Of wondrous majesty and power-a
miracle because we do not comprehend
it fully.
Spring with all its intensifying power
has opened in Iowa almost in day In
glorious fashion. The trees have burst
forth in foliage and the lawns and pas
lures are beautifully ca-peted with
grass, and the earliest lawn, forest and
field flowers are bursting forth.
The plum, peach, cherry and apple
trees are being kissed by the suns
rays and are responding with opening
blossoms.
The air is fragrant with spring
odors and nature is ready to appear in
her most gorgeous dress Of colors SO
tremendously blended that the artist,
inspired by the beautiful in nature,
weeps at his inability to produce any
thing more than an imitation.
This is Iowa.

IOWA AND GOOD ROADS.

The good roads sentiment is spread
Iowa is not in the game any too early
if she Is to share in the prestige OF
pioneers in a great cause. Here are
pertinent instances:

Grayson county, Texas, on April II
with which to build county system
of roads, in addition to the Denison
and Sherman district road systems al
ready constructed. and comprising 100
miles, will give Grayson county a
most complete county road system in
the southwest representing an invest

Iowans should hasten to let the out

state is right in the good roads pro-

OF the holdbacks in the legislature to
undo the good work Of the past two
years and check future progress were
fortunately defeated and Iowa now
enters upon period of first-class and
extensive highway construction. The
state fairly got a start under the new
highway law during the preceding BIZ
ennium; it took time and much study
and labor to lay the proper founda-

That Roosevelt played the game OF

pose. So he said the other day when
substantial justice was to be done he
knew 1t was done because he did 1t.

town of $500 has taken on the appear

4 SMOOTH PROPOSITION.
iowa Citl Rapublican.l

For smooth proposition commend
US to the neat little stunt the Iowa
City democrats pulled off In the clos
ing hours of the legislature. Some
body last winter suddenly discovered
that the district court of Johnson and
Iowa counties was badly overworked
and needed help. The help was called
for In the form of law for another
judge in this district. The records will
show that juries are not in session in
both counties ninety out Of the more
than three hundred days IT the year,
and the greatest trouble tho judge has
is to make the lawyers bring up their
cases for consideration. But there Is a
political situation which IS very en-
barrassing to the democrats Of this
city. So long as the Judge is john
son county man, and he is likely to be
for years to come, Iowa county de-
mands and for twelve years has had
the senator. So to get lock In on the
south side Of the capital they got up
the second Judge bill, and it contained
the very necessary provision that the
new Judge must not be from the same
county as the present judge. That
clause forces a judgeship upon Iowa
county, and each county having a
Judge. 10, and presto, Johnson county
will get the senator.
It is said that already four or five
Iowa City democrats are as good as
for senator at the next
primary.
Just how many Iowa county lawyers
will be after the judgeship is not an
nounced: 1t will be snap at $500
a year, with practically nothing to do.
1t is said that Senator White, who
first introduced the DILL in the senate,
smelled the gentleman in the woodpile
and withdrew it. But it was revived
and at 10 p. m. on the last night OF
the session, the bill passed the senate,
with some good Johnson county dem
ocrats looking after its interests.
Practically all the lawyers in both
counties admit privately that there is
no need Of a second judge in this dis
trict, so far as ordinary court business
is concerned. 1t is convenient some
times on the retail Of cases to have
second judge, but that has been con-
veniently cared for in the past by
calling in judge from another dis
trict.

economy because the state legislature
claims to have reduced the state levy
from 49, mills to As mills" says the
Des Moines Tribune. 80 much is said
that we really come to believe that an
enormous burden has been lifted from
our shoulders. And yet there is not a
township in the state that is not levy
ing twice as much more than it needs
than all the saving the legislature made
in all winter will come to-"
