THE GOVERNORS TERM.


Waterloo Courier: The Iowa City
Citizen says Governor Clarke will
not be a candidate for a third term
because the two-term custom has be-
come firmly established in this state.
The Webster City Freeman-Trib-
une takes issue with this statement,
citing the election of Governors
Cummins and Kirkwood to third
terms because the people wanted
them. The Freeman-Tribune thinks
that the custom OF electing every
man to a second term because of pre-
cedent may prove as inimical to the
best interests of the state as the an
ti-third term idea.
The Courier and Reporter hearth
ly concurs in this position. The gov
ernor should stand for reelection
strictly upon his merits and the rec
ord of his administration. Neither
should the second term idea be in
voked in his favor nor the third
term idea advanced as a precedent
for retiring him. There is no logi-
cal basis for either of these "cus-
TOMS" They should never be allowed
to stand in the way of the peoples
will and the welfare of the common
wealth,

AN AMAZING ARTICLE.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: One of the
most Unexpectedly worded editor
ials written since the beginning OF
the war was that which appeared
last week in the Deutsches Zeitung,
Count Won Revennltow's organ, un-
der the caption, "The American Call
to German Fear" in which the atti-
tude of the country in the matter of
the Lusitania is sneered at and con-
demned and this nations ability to
maintain it's dignity and honor is
scoffed at and belittled.
Among other things contained in
the editorial this significant SEN
tence appears:
"also we do not forget certain in
terror difficulties in America"
The foregoing means, if it means
anything, that the German govern
ment believes, if war should be de-
clared, American citizens of German
birth or descent would be disloyal to
their country. 1t is natural that
American citizens in whose veins
courses German blood, should sym
pathize with the German cause in
the present war But the diplomats
of the Imperial government at Ber-
lin must not make the same mistake
now that they did at the outbreak OF
the war when they assured the kais-
er that internal discussions would
prevent Great Britain from taking
part in the war and that declara-
ton of war would mean revolution
in Russia.
There are no better or more loyal
American citizens than our citizens
of German blood. They have proved
their worth, their pure and undefil-
ed patriotism on all occasions. And
if war should come with Germany,
which God forbid, the United States
will have no more staunch support
ers among it's citizens than those
citizens upon whose disloyalty to
their country the diplomats of Ger
many are so foolishly banking.

1t is very serious ques-

Senator Kenyon said he had been
out among the people of Iowa great
deal since congress adjourned and
that the overwhelming sentiment is
strongly against war. with prac-
tically the whole world about us in
turmoil and ,confusion," the senator
continued refectively, lone is some
times almost tempted to despair of
civilization, but as see it the situa-
ton so far as the American nation is
concerned means not only the great
est opportunity that has ever come
to any people, but Tremendously in
creased responsibilities. At time
when the nations all about us are
losing their heads and flying at each
others threats, there is all the more
reason why we should keep cool and
sensible. 1t is at once our Opportun-
ity and our duty to take the lead for
a higher and better civilization,
which shall show to the world that
there is a better way to settle dis
putes than by wholesale slaughter of
men and boys. Unless this can be
done by somebody, we shall be oblig-
ed to confess that after all there
isn't much in our boosted progress. ="

PEACE OUR DUTY.

Senator Kenyon is strongly for
peace and while in Des Moines a few
days ago said to Register and
Leader reporter that "the chief duty
of the American people is to keep
out of the war in Europe" That
seems to be the general impression
of the country. Many who believe
in holding Germany to a "strict &C

of the opinion that entrance into the

If some of the editors of some of
the big daily newspapers were in
Presidents Wilson's place at this
critical time they would have less to
say about what ought to be done to
Germany. But fortunately they are
not in the position of responsibility,
hence their ill-tempered remarks
and observations are not doing ire
parable injury. Fortunately the
German government knows the
penchant of the average big editor
to spread the Eagle and let her
scream. They have for the most part
in years past been twisting the lions
tail, but since Germany has secured
such a hold upon the candle extrem-
ity of that great animal they have
been forced to take a new tack and
are now engaged in the harmless
pastime of wiping Germany from
the European map. Just at this par
ticular time the big newspapers, and
the little ones, too, would serve the
country best by getting behind the
president and upholding his hands.
He needs every encouragement and
our people should be just as united
as are the Germans. They are not
questioning the course of their gov

Miller, the obstreperous legislator
from Waverly, who has been fighting

many years and has opposed in
the legislature everything the doc
tors wanted and favored everything
they didn't want. But Charlie fin
ally had to surrender and few days
ago entered the hospital at Waverly
and some of the hated doctors took
several large slices from his gall.
The surgeons declare they never saw
a gall as large as that belonging to
Mr.. Miller. In fact they insist that
he had enough for the whole legis-
lature. Although he lost big
share of it the doctors declare he has
sufficient left for all ordinary and
even extraordinary needs.

pledges not to do so at par value.
The supreme court of Iowa by a
recent opinion exploded the theory
that county attorneys and other
prosecutors should always assume
that the accused is guilty. The court
holds that the county attorney is in
the same position as the judge and
jury and it is his duty to see that
exact justice is done. The prosecu-
ton should not deal in extravagant
and reckless language and should
not undertake to convict any person
by appealing to the prejudices, senti-
ment, or passions of the jury. Courts
are not "vindicated" by convicting
men. Courts are vindicated only by
serving the ends of justice. In rem
dering the decision recently the SUI
preme tribunal took occasion to give
some wholesome advice to prosecut-
ing attorneys. ut is impossible to
lay down any hard and fast rule in
matters of this kind, so much de-
ponds upon the character of the
case, the nature of the remarks COM
planned of, the disclosures of evil
dence, etc." observed the court. eve
recognize the fact of his duty, to so
moderate his speech as not to, at
least, in some degree, appeal to the
sympathy, prejudices, or even the
passion of the jury, and we do not
want to be understood as even sug-
costing any fixed rule of limitation
upon his rights in addressing the
Jury. Each case must be determin-
ed on it's own facts and in the light
of the circumstances that attended
the delivery of his address. One
elected to the Office of county attor-
ney, to represent the people in the
prosecution of criminals, occupies a
close relationship to the administra-
ton of the law and to the court, and
should have no ambition beyond that
laudable one to see that no guilty
party escapes. But it is not for him
to assume, as prosecutor, the guilt Of
the defendant at any time of the
proceedings. The defendant is pre-
sumed to be innocent until by the
evidence he is shown to be guilty.
The jury are empaneled and sworn
to determine this question. Their
Judgment should be unbiased, un-
lprejudiced, uninfluenced by any con-
sideration other than the evidence
submitted to them, and the law Civ
en- to them by the court. Appeals
to the passion, prejudice, or to the
jury, to stand up like men and show
their disapproval of the crime charg-
ed by convicting the DEFENDANT is
unauthorized and unjustitied. Jur-
ors are but human and respond hui
manly to these appeals. Called into
the arena by counsel to condemn
crime abstractly, and to show their
manhood or lack of manhood in this
manner, they are led into the trap
that requires them to condemn the
defendant to vindicate themselves.
This is not the spirit of our law. This
is not the purpose of the admin
istration of public justice. 1t is
against the law and good morals
