LAW Thai FoRGE1s PROMINENCE"

Charles Feagins, prominent Davis
county man according to the press
dispatch, has been sentenced 10 serve
twenty months in the federal prison
at F't. Leavenworth for conspiracy to
violate the Mann white slave law
Judge Wade sentenced him at Ottum-
wa. The woman in the case was a girl
of 20 living in the little town Of Lam
caster, Mo. Judge Wade in passing
sentence alluded to Feagins' crime as
heinous, so it is to be assumed that
this was not one of those cases where
prominent men are victims of Sirens
The case is one that prominent men"
Of mormonistic characteristics and
tendencies best make note, for Feagins
was not sent down for actual violation
OF the Mann act by transportation OF
the woman across state lines but for
making all arrangements TO break the
law. The jury cleared him Of the first
charge but convicted him of the con-
spiracy to commit the crime. And the
judge retired him for a space OF one
year and eight months to mediate dur
ing such time as he is not actively en-
ployed at hard labor.
Sympathy directed toward the fam
lily and friends OF the person OF promi-
hence in Davis county is we'll spent:
The prominent Davis county citizen,
however is scarcely a deserving object
Of sympathy. When a man has grown
old enough to be mentioned as a prom
inent citizen he has learned how to be-
have himself. If not he requires a
lesson. The more prominent he is the
more desert to his punishment; for
the very prominence Of the man makes
him a most dangerous leader and ex-
ample to those less prominent and to
the youth Of his community Men Of
prominence who live prurient lives
work like yeast in the ferment Of I'M
righteousness in their neighborhoods.
1t isn't at all a bad idea to send the
man of prominence who prowls like a
wolf about the hearthstones of families
10 consider the way Of the transgressor
in a federal prison. The Mann law
may have it's weaknesses but its power
to reach to the man in the case whether
prominent or not compensates for its
minor defects.

THE EPISCOPAL RESOLUTIONS.

Another notable accession to the
temperance and anti saloon forces is
the declaration of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in general conve ntion at
St. Louis putting that church on rec
ord fer the first time as "favoring such
action in our legislative assemblies as
will preserve the interest of temper
ance and the repression of the liquor
traffic"
1t is an important accession because
il is the first declaration bf great
church numbering more than mill
lion communicates and nearly $4,000
clergymen. Many Of these have been
individually ahead of the organization
upon the same ground that the church
now stands in its resolution. Others
have opposed restrictive measures. The
resolution at St. Louis however puts
the church as a force against the liquor
traffic
The EplscUpa! church now stands Of
fcially against the liquor traffic. One
by one the churches have made oppo-
sition to the liquor traffic a settled
church policy, an official proclamation
of position In Iowa today most of the
churches are taking the justified
ground that a candidate who favors
the liquor interests should be denied
support by the communicates of
church which holds as settled policy
and a religious duty the restriction and
final abolition of the liquor traffic.
When the churches get together on
important issues and vote as they pray
politics will be cleaner and welfare is
sues more powerful.

Thereis a difference between raising

In one Of the countries at war (no

sued a statement that the safety OF

It is as important as to vote ON the

There are two names on that ballot

They are both learned and honest 1ur-

Then who is paying for it? Where arc
the invisible means of support of a

waged for Harding?
There has been an increase OF $4,000

treated under the Perkins law at the
state university and 200 operations to

state ever made.
Senator Cummins. says the Des

against the attack of his opponents

claim the republican nominee to be

thoroughly enjoying himself is evident
He never was a success as a political
contortionist.

wouldn't it for public utilities, special

in return. Business is business, isn't

him.
The Sioux City Journal tells it's
readers that Judge Theophilus has but
"one chance in 100" Of being elected.
The estimate is so absurd as to create
suspicion that it was calculated to en-

This is a fair illustration of the sys

measures supported by Mr.. Harding.
Three bills supported by Mr.. Harding

The Tribune has been close reader
of Mr., Hardins's campaign statements

to use his influence in eliminating a

The Tribune. as repeatedly stated,
Is in sympathy with the farmers and

Ericsson's Inventions.

The first screw propeller for naviga-
ton and the first steam fire engine seen
In America We're the inventions of John
Ericsson. famous in the annals of
naval warfare as the builder of the
Monitor, who was born in Wermeland,
Sweden, 113 years ago. In his young
manhood Ericsson attained the rank Of
captain in the Swedish army and be-
came an eminent engineer. Later he
went to England and perfected several
as well as winning a prize
offered by the Manchester g. Liverpool
railway for the best locomotive, build
ing one that attained the then astound-
ing speed Of fifty miles an hour. His
invention of the screw propeller did
not meet with the approval of the
British admiralty, SO Ericsson came to
America in 1889 and settled in New
York. In 1841 he was engaged to APP
ply his propeller to the United States
warship Princeton, which was the first
steamship ever built with the propell-
ing machinery below the water line
and out of the reach of shot. In 1910
he constructed the first American
steam fire engine. The Monitor. which
fought the Merrimac in the civil war.
revolutionized naval warfare. In this
craft Ericsson utilized the revolving
turret, invented by T. r. TiInby. Erics-
son died in New York in 1889, and his
remains were sent to his native Swe-
den on board a United States cruiser.
