1t is discouraging to believers in the sincerity
of Georgia's will to put an end to the lynching
outrages that have soiled her reputation to
note that the Legislature failed to pass the bill
authorizing the governor to remove from office
any sheriff who fails to perform his duty This
measure was in line with recommendations
made by the congress Of lawyers of the south
ern states which met some months ago to dis
cuss means OF stopping this evil. But it was
Overwhelmingly defeated in the Georgia legisla-
ture although unanimously endorsed by the
Judiciary committee The good faith of the
state is lmpugned by the action of its legis-
lators.

Keokuk proposes to tax the so-called
soft drink parlors SIS month.
Now If the explanation were at hand
as to just how Keokuk expects them
to pay it safer prediction could be
made as to the result. VIII the soft
drink proprietor consider his tax as a
local renewal of the mulct and If so
how will Keokuk view it?

Soft Drink Lieenses.

Davenport Times: Just how the
Keokuk city council, which has i'm
posed tax Of SIS month on soft
drink parlors, expects that to elimi-
nate bootlegging is not quite clear.
Some of the places may have to close
and those whose proprietors care to
take a chance may have to sell pro-
hibited drinks in order to be able to
pay the tax. The legitimate places
will be hard hit.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: The action
of the Keokuk city council in assess
ing all soft drink parlors $75 month
seems a rather drastic measure, and
one that puts premium on boot
logging. Respectable places Of
established reputation, provided they
have good business locations, may be
able to stand the tax, but some of the
little fellows, who also obey the law.
will probably have to close their
doors.

The Republican Observer: Kenneth
Cockroft, the young son OF William
Cockroft, received a severe injury to
the fingers on one hand Friday last.
The young boy in some manner got a
hand into the hay fork pulley, and as a
result two fingers are badly mangled.
The pulley was the one on the ground,
and this accident makes the third one
to that family of children in the past
two years or so. All three accidents
have been upon the hands of the child
rem. Last year the youngest child re :
ceived similar injury in the very same
way, and couple of years ago the
young girl suffered having the fingers
of a hand nearly severed. in the result
Of the brother coming down on them

their hard luck will end and more care
will be taken in the future.

PLATTEVLLE.

The Witness: The three weeks
drought was broken Wednesday night
by two heavy down pours, as much as
six inches of water falling in some
places. The corn and potatoes were
greatly benefited. A great deal Of the
oats were laid fat, however. Hay has
been a grand crop this year, and farm
ers have had fine wealth er to get it up.
Luverne McDermott, workman at
the Crawhall mine, was stabbed and
seriously injured by an Italian, Harry
Sedreulia, who, it is alleged had been
leased and annoyed by McDermott and
others. The Italian stabbed him on the
head and body, nearly killing him. He
was landed in Jail at Darlington for
safety, McDermott's friends threaten
ing to dynamite the Jail, where he was
first placed.
The Journal: The storm of last
Wednesday did considerable damage to
the oat crop in this locality. The
farmers reported the outlook for a
bumper oat crop was never better, but
the hard rain and stiff wind laid much
of it low in this section. In many
places the fields look as if the oat had
been rolled, they are so fiat.
Great plans are being made for the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the establishment of the Platteville
normal which is to take place here in
October. Many alumni and graduates
will be present on this occasion.
The electrical storm of Wednesday
evening struck and damaged six high
tension insulators between Galena and

state Light & Power Co., and service
was not restored until Thursday morn
ing at o'clock.

Suffrage
The Republican party, reaffirming
its faith in government of the people,
by the people, for the people, as meas
ure of justice to one-half the adult
people of the country, favors the ex-
tention of the suffrage to women, but
recognizes the right of each State TO
settle this question for itself
Such are our principles, such are
our purposes and policies. We close
as we began. The times are dangerous
and the future is fraught with peril.
The great issues of the day have been
confused by words and phrases. The
American spirit which made the coun-
try and saved the Union, has been for
gotten by those charged with the re-
sponsibility of power. We appeal to
all Americans, whether naturalized or
native-born, to prove to the world
that we are Americans in thought and
deed, with one loyalty, one hope, one
aspiration. We call on all Americans
to be true to the spirit of America, to
the great traditions of their common
country, and, above all things, to keep
the faith.

SOMEBODY is ALWAYS

Somebody is always taking the joy
out of life for the Missouri Repub-
licans. The word is being passed
around that 1916 looks like a bad
year for Republicanism in Missouri.
Consequently Republican candidates
are losing that keen interest that they
had few months ago. The closer
they get to the real campaign the
less they like the outlook.
