FAvORS A WHIPPING POST.
IWahsfer Cifv E>raeman -TrihIIne1

SSSSSA
The state Of Delaware has voted
10 maintain the whipping post ioi
men who can not be improved by the
usual mild methods of law that pro-
vide only fines and Imprisonment. OF
course there is great aversion to the
whipping post in this country, yet
it seems to be justified in certain in
stances. What other method will
reach the man who goes home ard
beats his wife and children? Or
what other adequate punishment can
be meted out to the fellow who deserts
his family, leaving them destitute,
while he expends his money md sub
stance upon characterless women and
in riotous living? Just why mea who
have no hesitancy In whipping children
for the waywardness of childhood
should shrink at the thought Of CIV
ing vicious and lawless men little
maulins is not apparent. There are
a few men In Webster City at this
very minute who ought 20 oa tied 10
post and thrashed until tney prom
iscd to be decent, and the ope-et:oa
ought to be repeated Whenever occa-
sion demands.

the time drawing near whom they Will
be laid on the shelf. Now the postal
people are thinking seriously OF pen
sion system. They expect Uncle Sam
TO foot the bills.
The Typographical union Is one Of
the many labor organizations which
are asking nothing Of the state nor
the federal government. It has been In
existence many years, but some of the
best things which 1t offers to the menu
bers are OF comparatively recent origin.
The printers carry life insurance
In their own company. 1t is no. very
much, little less than $500, but it
helps. The insurance is obligatory.
The union has a beautiful institution
in Colorado which represents an in
vestment of hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, where the sick or superannu-
ated members of the organization are
taken care of. 1t is not a beautiful
charity but it is the right of the mem
bers. They have assessed themselves
for this very purpose. There Is also
a pension for superannuated members.
1t amounts to IS per week. Not very
much, bat quite . help. These ae:e-
fits are provided for by the interna-
tional body. and they cost each mem
ner the munincent sum OF $1.lO per
month. The local unions usually nave
sick benefits and perhaps funeral
benefit, and they assess themselves
specifically for this purpose.
Dozens of other trades unions are
doing as much and some perhaps even
more, for their members. And it has
never occurred to any Of these to apply
for state or national aid. They believe
in helping themselves. Why 10 not
the teachers and the oostoffice folk
get acquainted with some Of the men
who are members of such organiza-
tons, and then get busy and starr
something that will stand on its own
feet. The postoffice people claim ,aat
the expense would be beyond their
ability to pay. The printers get life
insurance a home or a pension all
for less than SIS per annum. The
teachers are underpaid, but that is no
reason why they should not be able to
have a real organization that would
teach them to help themselves to
pension. 1t Inight eventually teach
them to help themselves in other re-
spects.,

JITNEY REGULATION DEMANDED.
Davenport Democrat

The Davenport city council should
not wait for further fatalities to be
charged against the jitney buses be-
fort it adopts an ordinance which
shall regulate these swiftly-ssurrying
seekers of the public's nickel.
Wherever the fault may lie for the
death of young Frank Cummins, the
fact remains that the jitney business
as at present conducted adds a large
number Of fast moving cars to the
busiest streets Of the city. That is
where the jitney driver plies his
trade. He adds an element Of danger
to the public against which the pres
ent protection to the public is en-
tirely inadequate.
If the victim Of the next jitney ac
cident were the sole support OF a
wife and several children; II the ac-
cidents were solely due to the negli-
gence Of the driver-the widow and
orphans he made would be practically
without recourse for damages. There
Is no bond behind the jitney; nothing
more substantial than a car OF doubt
full ownership and value. worth few
hundred dollars at the most.
1t is a situation that calls for the
prompt consideration Of the city adj
ministration. Give the jitneys a fair
deal, but give the public one. too.

WHERE THE FARMER STANDS.
TPerry Chief

Several correspondents Of the state
papers are doing their best to make
the people believe that the farmers are
all in favor Of the Johnston bill in its
original form, and no one resents it
more than the average farmer.

IT WILL BESA LIVELY PRIMARY.
ECouncil Bluffs Nonpareil.]

the question Of granting to women the
right to vote will be submitted. This
is bound to bring out a vote which will
equal that usually poIled in general
election.
The suffragists had their way as to
whether this vote should be taken in
the June primary or the November
election. A majority OF the men in the
legislature who favor suffrage thought
the November date would be prefer
able. They figured that a larger vote
would be polled that time than could
be induced to come to the polls in
June and it was their judgment that
this would favor the suffrage cause.
These men reckoned that the vets
would oppose suffrage with big cam
paign fund and with a light vote would
stand better show with their greater
resources to get a larger proportion OF
their men to the polls The women
were of the opinion, however. that they
could do as much hustling in this line
as the opponents Of suffrage and their
wishes prevailed. The legislature has
decided on the June date.
If the suffragists win in this Iowa
primary they win be privileged to vote
in the November election which fol-
lows. Inasmuch as this will be presi-
Dental election the anxiety of real
suffragists to have their case tried out
in June was natural and logical.
In this same primary there will be
nominated candidates for governor, for
congressman and for all other elective
offices in the state. The republican
nomination for the Office Of governor
will, as matter Of course. be the real
bone of contention in Iowa, but inter-
est will not be lacking in other state
offices and in many Of the nominations
for local offices. Without question In
terest will also be keen on this suf-
frage issue.
Without much doubt the wet and
dry forces will be lined up in this pri-
mary on the question Of who shall be
nominated and on that Of granting the
franchise to women. When the pri-
mary is held the saloons will have
been closed in the state about hve
months. Whether this VIII strengthen
or minimize the wet vote remains 10
be seen. There is argument on both
sides Of this contention.
| The vets do not entertain much
hope Of keeping Iowa out OF the dry
column when the vote on the constitu-
tional amendment Is taken anyway
They may not think 1t worth while to
spend time and money in an effort to
defeat suffrage with the notion that In
this manner they would prevent rein-
forcements from Joining the drys
They may conclude to just let the tail
