with the death Of Pete" Hepburn another
OF the landmarks OF Iowa politics has dis
appeared as well as a national figure Of no insig

covers = period when Iowa welded more gen
uine Influence in the national lavmaking body
than any other western state, and took ranb
with the foremost. He was member OF tbat
historic group. made up Of such men as william
Boyd Allison Dave" Henderson, John Henry

and John F. Lacey, who gave the Hawkeye state
impressive standing in national affairs. These
men we're active in shaping the laws that en-
sured the progress Of the country through q
wonderful period OF development, and have left
enduring monuments to their activity in the
prosperity OF the whole people. Mr. Hepburn
came into greatest notice as the author Of the
Hepburn law, which stopped the issuing Of inter
state free passes by the railroads. and cured one
Of the greatest evils OF the transportation In
dustry. He also took an active part in the
enactment OF laws for the protection OF the
dairy industry, and was in many ways OF service

Pole, Must Paw for 1nnoeenee.


The reply Of Sir Edward Grey to the appeal
from the American Polish relief committee. that
the blockade be raised TO permit the sending Of
food supplies from America TO Poland. brings
forward one of the most abhorrent features Of
modern warfare. II Is the suffering that must
fall upon helpless noneombatanta. Caught be
tween the lines OF war In which they have no
voice. and no part except helpless victims. the
people OF Poland are to be compelled to endure
the sufferings of exposure and starvation. Great
Britain will not permit the passage OF relief sup
plies. for the reason that such action might be
to the advantage OF Germany.
This action seems keartless, but II is war.
Germany has been not less hard In dealing with
Belgium While the Americans have been feed
ing the inhabitants OF occupied territory, the
Germans have been collecting taxes from them.
The present instance serves only to multiply
proof that war is all that aas ever been said Of
II. Stern business at it's best. II is being con-
Quoted In a stern manner. and its horrors will
grow as time goes on. till the very end. The
futilIty OF our sympathy and the failure OF our
efforts to assist the Poles in their misery should
In no way tend to lessen endeavors TO be OF help
to the unfortunate victims OF the unreasoning
conflict. In time we will have to do even more
for these who can not do for themselves. But
for the present. the Poles must pay the price of
their weakness and innocence.

MAGNOLIA. Ia. Feb. Ito the Editor
OF The Bee: Religious Liberty" a timely
discussion Of which has begun in the
columns Of Omaha papers. Religious
Liberty" was what thrilled Luther so
that he did not fslter to appear before
the emissaries Of Rome at the Diet OF
Worms IN 1871: religious liberty is what
encouraged the pilgrim fathers TO seek
new home IN America. but religious no
erty was also embodied into the eonsti-
tuition Of these United States OF America
thus guaranteeing religious liberty to
every American. This guaranty OF re-
ligious liberty Is not a liberty to believe
in ones heart or mind what one feels
like, because for this there can be no
legislation. but for an expression or con-
fession before others OF that which we
believe. A person having religion IN his
heart cannot refrain from showing or
expressing whatsoever fills his heart,
the same as an unbeliever feels com
PEELED to reveal what fills his heart The
unbeliever says II am not ashamed OF
my unbelief;" the Christian says, IT am
not ashamed Of the Gospel of Christ; for
