OUR HUMANE COURTS.

GCedar Rapids Republican,
The fact that two Greeks who were
involved in an apparent attempt to
wreck Rock Island passenger train
in Benton county were given ten-day
sentences in Jail proves conclusively
that our courts are not actuated by
atrocious enmity toward the erring.
The Judge Is said to have shown lent-
ency because these fellow countrymen
of Alexander the Great were not ia
miliar with our laws. They had not
been carefully schooled in the idea
that it is wrong to kill people and
naughty to plot wreck and death for
the purpose of securing revenge. After
they have been here eleven or
thirteen years they will have their
wrists slapped.
1t mas mi been understood that
European penalties were more lenient
than our own. Had these same Greeks
undertaken to wreck train In Greece
it is entirely probable that the gems
d'arms would have had the courtesy
to call some sort of conveyance to
carry away the remains.

of which would indicate that under
standing and respect for the criminal
code of any country would serve to
keep man out of trouble in America.
Now, IL after arrest. these two
Greeks had spit on the sidewalks OF
Shellsburg they might have drawn 50
fines. Had they sworn at the peace
officer that would have been $40 at
least, and had they resisted with bare
fists they would most likely have been
awarded thirty days in the Vinton jail.
Had they made a long nose at the
bailiff or clerk when arraigned 1t
would no doubt have been $50 fine
for contempt of court. which would
have meant sixteen days in durance
vile for the grave fault Of making Of

ton of the majesty of the law. Just

crapple, an eight-inc catfish or the

might for defense Of home and native
land.

A HANGING HOLIDAY.

The sheriff Of Jackson county, Illi-
nois, made public orgy of the hanging
of Joe DeBerry, the negro murdered,
Saturday. About 1000 people witnessed
the hanging, the official taking advant-
age Of a technicality of the law to per-
nit that many persons to be present.
Three times that number, it is said
clamored for admission to the Jail,
where the execution took place There
is little doubt but what DeBerry de-
served his fate, but that the sheriff
grossly erred and was guilty of at least
q grave improperly is none the less
emphatic. We Of the north are prone
to condemn the lynching orgies and the
public legal executions OF negroes in
the south. 1t is quite evident that we
have problems at home. At the time
Junkin, the negro slayer of the Ottum-
wa choir singer, was hanged at Fort
Madison, the authorities were besieged
with applications for permission to wit
ness the spectacle. The requests were
denied, as they should have been. The
Illinois sheriff should be ashamed OF
himself.

SUFFRAGE IN THE ELECTION.

Woman suffrage was beaten in Mas
sachusetts. Pennsylvania and New
, York yesterday, beaten decisively by a
heavy vote in the first mentioned
states and by a strong majority in New
York. Blue stocking Boston voted near
ly two to one against, Philadelphia five
to one.
| Two principal elements account for
the clearly adverse vote. One of the
most powerful is the desperate fight
made against the amendment by the
! liquor interests. Another is the i'm
I preston among thinking voters that
the average woman cares little for the
ballot. Between the interested oppo-
nents of suffrage and the disinterested
mass of voters the big majorities
against the amendment were found
The seeming indifference of the
vast majority of women to the ballot
is the greatest obstacle in the way Of
suffrage equality. A goodly number
of women and especially the women
of the east are not concerned. Another
large number fear to be considered
masculine were they to take active in
( terest. Then there is butterfly class
who hutter their wings and let the
world wag as it will. And to these
classes OF women more than any one
other element is the result of the cleo
tons in the east due.
The Times Republican has many
times warned the suffra gists of this
state that feminine indifference is the
Stumbling block of suffrage in this
state. There is no general objection
10 equality of franchise here outside
the fear it inspires in certain sordid
interests. Iowa would have offered
the amendment long ago had it been
demanded or requested by majority
of Iowa women of voting age or if by
a reasoneb BILE majority.
The results in the east should teach
the Iowa suffragists that the success
or failure Of the amendment depends
more on the Iowa woman than on the
Iowa man. He is willing as Barkis but
like Barkis he awaits hint. And the
best hint to be given would be pc
tition signed by considerable part of
the women of the state.
What effect the eastern elections
will have upon the suffrage amendment
in this state remains to be developed;
but ii is safe TO assume that they will
not assist the situation from the
equality point Of view,

CUMMINs FOR PEACE.


In his special address before the
students and alumni Of Iowa Wes-
leyan College Thursday, Senator Cum
minis clearly indicated the line OF
cleavage in American thought just at
this time. taking his stand with those

world peace by working and talking
and negotiating for peace, as against
| those who believe that America by
arming can enforce peace, says the
Des Moines Evening Tribune.
Such an address at this time IL Of

IT WOULD e. A GOOD LAW.

The Iowa City Republican urges that
the next legislature provide for the re-
call Of the pharmacy permit of any
druggist who sells liquor illegally.
This has been proposed in the legis-
lature in the past" says the Republic
can. but the dry districts have so far
defeated such bill. Why?"
Whether or not the Republican has
verified its charge that the dry dis
tricts have defeated the measure it
advocates, the fact stands that such
law should be passed and strictly
enforced. Pharmacists who persist
emily violate the law may lose their
certificates if sufficient pressure and
plain evidence is brought to the
pharmacy board but if any such re-
vocation has been made it does not
come TO mind.
There is no good reason to be urged
for the whisky selling pharmacist than
for the alley salesman or the pro-
prietor of the speakeasy. The better
abolition of the whisky drug store and
the whisky pharmacist. The way TO
abolish is to abolish. The loss of a
pharmacy permit and especially the
revocation Of a few certificates would
make the prescription counter bar al
together too dangerous to be profit
able. And that is why whisky drug
gists and bootleggers-if any classfi-
cation is to be made-sell liquor in
violation Of law. It's easy money.
Very easy money. AS an example.
A few years ago young druggist
| bought store in a little northern
Iowa village. He went into the booze
business thoroughly. The village be-
| came notorious among those who
found liquor hard to get. He told a
| friend that he sold four barrels OF
booze monthly; that it cost him 50 a
gallon; that he put two pints of water
to every gallon and sold it all at 81
a pint. Thus he figured that the con-
sumers paid the first cost when they
bpaid 81 for the water. And if these
were fifty gallon barrels he found his
whisky trade worth $500 a month to
him. Other legitimate sales Of variou.
