Forgiven

With all our differences with the
governor on his economic and political
policies and practices, we are eager to
commend him for the fine humane in
stincts which induce him to make such
generous list Of pardons. Peniten-
tiary walls all have passing value but
only seldom a permanent value in the
corrective scheme of crime. Those who
have made mistakes and endangered the
peace of society need to be shown how
to live in the world outside, not in the
guarded court inside. 1t does not take
an accumulation of years for this lesson
to penetrate the minds of most offend
ers. The governor has shown splendid
Christian spirit in the pardons he has
issued.-Madison Journal

"UNDER COVER. !"
The Thrillingest Thriller Of the Sea-
son-Next Sundays Attraction

The play opens in the office of the
deputy surveyor of the Port of New
York, Daniel Taylor. There is some
conversation between two customs of
fcials about smuggling and then Tay-
Tor enters. 1t develops that Steven
DENLY is coming home from Paris on
the Mauretania and that the depart
ment has been informed that he is
smuggling into the country a 100000
pearl necklace. He is coming in the
party Of Mrs. Michael Harrington,
wife of a millionaire Taylor wants
to get some woman who is in society
to act as secret service agent and
entrap DENLY. He picks Ethel Cart
wright and makes her accede to his
wishes by threatening her sister, who
has pawned some jewels and collected
the insurance from burglar insurance
company to pay her bridge debts.
The other three acts are laid in the
Harrington place on Long Island and
have to do with the efforts of the girl
to trap DENLY and the final finding of
the necklace, and his efforts to thwart
her and learn why she is hunting him.
To add to the complications, they have

finale is a surprise. Mention has been

smuggling is trap and that Taylor is
a big CRATER. He accepts bride and

happy together.

ST. LOUIS VOTES FOR
NEGRO SEGREGATION
'Jim Crow Residential Districts
Are Established.

st. Louis, Mar. 1.-Ordinances pro-
vidipg for the segregation of negroes
in separate blocks from the whites in
st. Louis voted on here were carried
by a vote of about three to one. The
total vote cast was nearly $4,000.
Two ordinances were voted on, one
providing that a white person or ne
gro cannot become a resident in a
block occupied entirely by those of the
opposite color. The other imposes the
same restriction on block of seven
ty-fve per cent of one color.
The ordinances become effective
in ten days unless an Injunction is ap-
piled for, which is almost certainty.
Opponents of the ordinances declare
they will carry the matter to the SUI

of the Crimean war, which, owing to a
free-trade tariff, brought widespread
disaster in the United States. This may

Herr Sydow, the German minister of

told the Prussian Diet that Germany
will need world market for its indus.
TRY and commerce when the great war
ends, and that it would be folly to be
hampered by commercial agreements
based on military alliances now, This
is generally true, but peculiarly so in
the case of Germany, for some of that
country s best customers in the past are
on the other side of the present strug-
gle. Even under the most favorable
condltionc, it will be difficult to REGAIN
lost trade in Russia, for example. Am

Lion or lamb?
A STEP FORWARD

Bismarck's endorsement Of a pub
lie library yesterday was a step for
ward.
This is only one sign that the Capt.
tai City can rise above political con-
sderation and quell selfish opposition
when the welfare and progress OF the
municipality is at stake.
The time has arrived to lift the wet
blanket of factionalism. 1t makes
little difference to the average cltl'
zen what forces are behind these
movements. Bismarck is showing an
excellent tendency TO analyze the
project rather than to impuSn the
motives of the citizens who start the
ball rolling.
1t is essential that the city acquire
this public institution together with
other civic improvements. The Ward
politician may oppose it because his
clique did not think of it first, but
fortunately such imbecle opposition
can no longer hamper the progress
of the city.
Bismarck has been up and coming
for a long time. No coterie of poll
ticians can keep it down. The inter
ests of the people must come first.
The record of only seventy votes
against the library narrows the OPP
position down to a negligible factor.
This should make the remaining
task of the library forces an easy
one Considerable INSTRUMENTATION
has been spread over the city rea-
tive to the project. Friends of the
library will soon have a statement to
make, and all propositions will be
discussed before any obligations are
assumed
Everyone can rest easy that the
city commissioners and the school
board will act in this matter to the
best interest of everyone.
Watch Bismarck grow!

The motive of war is class larceny.
Lasting peace will not come until
governments cease to be instrument
talities of theft.
These are the major conclusions -
German professor, Franz Open
heimer, NJ, D., Phi. d. of the Univer-
sity of Berlin, who outlined, as early
as 1908, the interplay of forces
which has thrown Europe into IT,
tanic struggle.
His book, Die Staat (The Statel
traces the origin Of government and
finds that in all Of its advanced
forms it resulted from the conquest
of an agricultural people by rowing
tribes of freebooters.
The freebooter at first murdered
and robbed his vanquished foe, says
the author. but later discovered that,
by letting him live and work, he
could steal not the surplus of a
single year, but the surplus of every
years work.
Modern government was born
when the first savage invader en-
shaved his victim instead Of killing
him.
Thus the genesis of the state is
theft, he adds. Every government
is a class government. The most
convenient modern means for class
'spoliation is the ownership OF lane
