STRANGE TIMES.
~ r~;-&or

| [DeS MONIES Register
| We doubt If anybody was fully
satisfied with the denial given by the
! friends of the president when Senator
Gore quoted the president as saying
that a break with Germany might not
be bad thing at this time.
! It was said that the presidents
words could not be given any such
construction, ETC., etc, but the words
| were not quoted. Nobody was in posi-
| ton to say that the matter had not
been preached, or that break with
Germany had not been discussed.
It is true Senator Gore had no war
rant to quote the president. even If
he had said it. Mr.. Roosevelt when
president denounced any man who
quoted him as liar. He believed the
president must be given latitude to
speak with freedom and with alb
solute security.
But Senator Gore having broken the
! rules the question inevitably does arise.
did the president say it, and II he did
say it may what is happening now be
measured somewhat in the light OF
what he said
Even the people who would most
welcome a break with Germany must
be puzzled over the occasion now be-
ing sought When the Lusitania was
sunk there was no question Of inter-
national justification. The Lusitania
was a passenger vessel, 1t was not
sunk on the theory that 1t was armed
to attack submarines. It was known
that Americans were on board The
sinking Of the Lusitania was the oc-
casion of trouble II We are to make
submarine warfare the occasion OF
trouble.
But now when congress without any
question whatever would have warned
Americans to go upon @belltgerent
EARNED vessels at their own haz-
lard, as Sweden has warned the
Swedes, when the sentiment OF the
country Is solidly against allowing a
few hazard-loving roamers to get us
into the war by taking long chances,
the president seriously considers a
break in diplomatic relations, which
will inevitably mean war. because the
submarine Is being used in the only
way that the submarine can be used
effectively In war. H. -
/ How can anybody make the presi-
dents attitude when the .Lusltania was
sunk square with his present attitude?
Then he was willing to overlook al
most anything rather than become
embroiled Now he is willing to make
what congress was ready to repudiate
the occasion of going to war.
Something has happened to change
the president. II Senator Cores story
happens to pop into mind what are
we going to do about It? It is a mat
ter of history that Seward advised
Lincoln that he could avoid domestic
| trouble by engaging in a foreign war.
and it is q matter of common gossip
that the talk Of Europe has been that
foreign war would effectually squelch
agitation for domestic reforms.

FOOL ARGUMENTS.

There are more fool arguments
against suffrage Tor women than
against any other reasonable cause
we know of. One OF these arguments
Is that if women vote they should 90
military service 81 tsgz., q
II there is any point to that argu-
nent then only those men who hSht
in the army should vote. Dvery man
who is crippled or whose heath Will
not permit him to serve in the army
should be disfranchised, and when they
get too old for military duty they
should be deprived Of the voting prtvil-
eye. 49,.
The fact is the only real sensible
rule for voting privileges should De
based on intelhg ence, not on color or
sex or military qualifications.
An equally foolish argument against
suffrage is that II women vote they
must serve on juries. Some OF the SUI
frage states exclude women from Jury
duty: most Of them give them the prt"
vilege of jury service but do not make
1t obligatory Several classes OF men
are exempt from jury service in Iowa
The privilege Of exemption could be
given to women, if they desired Il. But
we believe that women are competent
to serve on juries and in fact In some
kinds of cases they would be prefer
able to men.

Tony is dead, too. Tony was Joe's
dog. Tony was shot after he had kept

It was hard for, Deputy Sheriff Al
Montour to shoot Tony, for the deputy

he was doing right. .a1..

Joe Jenkins and nearly everyone knew
Tony. Joe was the big Kentuckian

inches in height and weighed ESQ
pounds and was one of the lakes best

no one 60 near the body OF Joe, his
master. BardweIl tried time and again.
but the faithful terrier barred his
teeth, growled and prepared TO battle.
Bardweil went back to Enceisfcr and
returned next day TO try It again.
Tony hadn't slept all night. Not once
had he ventured away from Joe's holy.
He hadn't eaten. sts r

after prolonged deliberation, dividedI
on the question OF his guilt, half OF
Its members protesting doubt whether
the liquor was intended for sale. The
! natural assumption Is that unwilling
ness to convict for Bookkeeping, rather
| than real doubt as to the guilt OF the
defendant, was back of that mistrial.
The new set Of enforcement laws
covers the case of officers who do not
| do their duty in prosecuting violators
of the prohibitory law, but there Is no
way of legally getting at a jury which
fails to do it's duty after the officers
have done theirs. If Jurors are to be
penalized for their failure, it is mat
ter for the community to deal with
informally. If the community accepts
such delinquency as a joke. there is
| little hope for better things. If the
community as a whole can find some
way OF conveying it's displeasure to
the recalcitrant jurors, it will not be
long until they will be ashamed to
stand up in public as protectors OF
violators Of the law. ~
Under existing conditions in Sioux
City, there Is no heed for bootlegging
Persons who can not or will not get
along without intoxicants can buy
them legally with little trouble and can
consume them legally People who can
see nothing morally wrong in this
should be able to see the moral
wrong in bootlegging.
1t Is hoped the community senti-
nent of Sioux City can be mobilized
in support Of strict enforcement OF
prohibition, regardless of sympathy
with that way Of dealing with the
liquor evil. 1t Is the law, and the law
ought to be enforced and can be en-
forced. The law is on the statute
books. and the officers Of the law are
ready to do their duty. They are en-
titled to the moral and political sup
port of all good citizens in their ef-
forts.
