make AN ATTACK
upon C0SS0H ACT
ATTORNEYS FOR SIOUX CITY
WOMAN WILL FIGHT IOWA
"RED LIGHT" LAW.

Sioux City, July 20.-The Iowa red
light injunction law is attacked on
nineteen grounds in demurrers filed in
the district court by w. E. Lang, pro-
prietor of the Grand hotel, S16-1S
Fourth street, and John Finn, owner
of the building, and Irene Howe, 312
Pearl street. and her landlord, E. R.
Bladen. Hearings on the suits brought
league to invoke the law on the four
defendants have been set for next
Monday.
Indications are that attorneys for
the defendants will make vigorous
fight to knock out the law. Two differ
ent law firms represent the four de-
PENDANTS, but as the ground for de-
murring to the suits are the same, it
10 the belief of court officials that
counsel have held conferences on their
fight against the statute -r,,. ,(-sa.~r
Lang's and other. defendants chief
attack on the law is that it deprives
them Of their property without due
process of law, and that this is in con-
flict with the state constitution.
Other important grounds cited in the
demurrers are that the law Is void be-
cause 1t gives unreasonable assump-
ton OF power under the guise of police
power; that it is void insofar as 1T
provides issuance of restraining order
without notice or bonds; that the law
Is void insofar as it provides evidence
Of general reputation of the place shall
be considered as pr1ma facie evidence;
that law Is void because it provides
for the imposing Of tax against the
property by the district court and this
Is an unlawful. inconsistent and I'M
reasonable delegation of the taxing
power.
Further grounds are that the law de-
signates any pleading as a complaint,
and any writ or notice as summons
and these are in conflict with the law
procedure of the state. Attorneys also
maintain that if the court holds that
the $500 tax provided in the statute as
matter Of fact is a fine or penalty
then the statute in question Is uncon-
stitutional and that it deprives the de-
PENDANTS Of right of trial by jury.

AIDING THE UNEMPLOYED

There seems to be a dispOsi-
ton, in many parts of the cOun-
try, to regard the proposed fed
eral employment bureau as an
outgrowth of the demand to sub
stitute help for charity in deal
ing with the iobless man. The
proposal is by no means new. It
has been much discussed during
the last two years, and it is said
that the division of information
in the bureau Of immigration,
five years ago, worked out a plan
which was similar to the pres
ent one. The attempt was made
at that time to use federal
agenvies as an intermediary i'm
the labor situation.
The persistency of unemploy-
ment, due to internal and foreign
influences, has undoubtedly gain
ed favor for the plan. Now that
President Wilson, in his Indian
apolis speech, has given it his in
dorsement, other supporters are
coming forward, and Secretary of
Labor Wilson and Mr.. Caminetti.
the commissioner general of inn
migration, are of the opinion that
much good will come of the ex-
pertinent. The post Office de-
partment takes part in it only as
a means of publicity. Like every
other departure more or less rad
ical, this one of hunting jobs fol

on administration. In honest
efficient hands, the plan ought tC

THE AMERICAN NAVY
lMinneapolis News. J

There is no reason for haste
in adopting the ambitious pro-
gram favored by the extremists.
The wiser course would be to
wait till we are sure that we have
learned the many lessons that the
present war will teach. Few,
as far as we have observed, be-
ieve that the battleship is out of
date. And yet it would be hard
TO say, our particular needs be-
ing what they are, just what
should be the proportion between
such ships and submarines. The
latter vessels have been proved
to be very formidable if their ra-
dius of action is increased, as it
is believed it will be. AS far
as our ports are concerned, they
could be completely defended by
submarines, mines and shore
batteries. 1t is such defenses
that the British feet, the great
est in the world, has been held at
bay for more than five months.
II may thus be found that we can
get along with considerably few
CT battleships than are now de-
manded. AT any rate, we can,
without risk, wait and see.
When the war is over this
country will be safer from at
tack than for many years. Not
one of the belligerents would
think of assailing the United
States unless our Government
forced the issue. All will he So
weakened exhausted and war
weary as to be almost forced to
keep the peace. If the British
and German naval fleets ever do
meet, both may be so crippled as
greatly to reduce the navaI
strength of both Powers. In
short, we cannot tell how the wal
may effect our problem until af-
ter it is over.
We know that Europe will be
staggering under billions of new
debt, that taxes in all countries
will be enormous, and that with
several million men killed or dis
abled the fighting force of The
great Powers will be terribly low
cred. Peace, therefore, viii
bring us practical immunit,
against assault. BY a wise de-
lay we can profit from the les
sons taught by the war, and with.
out risk to ourselves. We car
