BOTH IusI AND SATISFACTORY.

Three OF the negroes who were guilty
Camp Dodge dropped thru the trap Of
the gallows at that cantonment this
morning. Opposed as Iowa is to capital
punishment there Will be general graft
hcation over the state that the military
authorities hanged those men promptly
es possible. They ware hanged be-
cause they had forfeited their right to
die as soldiers and brave men prefer to
die and soldiers and cavilians alike ap-
prove their end.
II in all the list of heinous cromes
any deserve death by hanging rape is
that crime.
The Times-Republican demanded
death by hanging for those brutes. 1t
is well pleased that the sentence and
execution match the demand. Some
negroes with more prejudice than NOR
ais and sense have written protest to
this paper insisting that its attitude
was one OF prejudice to color. The
T.-R. however, believes that the death
penalty should be visited on brutes of
AMY color or race who are so lost to
human intelligence and understanding
as to commit crime like that for
which those men suffered.
However 1t is true that among white
people such outrages are aggravated
by color. Race prejudice exists and will
continue to exist because it is congen-
ial. 1t is not to be brushed away with
argument. 1t is fact to be acknowl-
edged in it's bearing upon the relations
Of races and by none more thoughtfully
than by the races which are hoping
toward equality. The negroes who were
hanged this morning at Camp Dodge
had comitted crime against their own
| race. Their utter savagery Is a clog
on its advancement and its recognition
as to citizenship. There should be NJ
defense OF the men or their crime by
J colored people. no protest that rape is

Hogan Observer

The expected has happened. When
Council Bluffs last spring changed city
administration they virtually invited
just the sort OF thing that happened
there early Sunday morning when a
policeman was murdered in cold blood.
The campaign as put on by the Council
Bluffs Enterprise was for more no
eral administration than the town had
been having, and Of course the liberal
element won. and when liberal eie-
ment wins it means more liberty OF the
wrong kind. Decent people sometimes
take part in and help the liberal side
when they know down deep in their
hearts what it leads to. or would know
if they studied the matter. Council
Bluffs was fairly we'll cleaned UP by
the city administration that went out
of business last spring, but the thugs.

WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME.
rAnamosa Eureka.]

When the boys come home what Will
the plant OF the kickers be?
Will the fellow who yelled because
he was told to set his clock ahead, tell
his troubles to the boy from the
trenches who knew no quitting time
short a full stroke Of victory?
Will the man who had to be crowded
to purchase Liberty bonds complain OF
the treatment he received. to the EEL
low whose gun was loaded the
trenches with bonds bought here at
home?
VIII the fellow who feels too big to
buy Thrift Stamps and War Saving
Stamps, tell the boy from the trenches
that he thought the little bullets OF the
revolvers and rifles bit below his
class?
VIII The fellow who Teseuts the fact
that he can't use all the sugar he
wants. boast to the boy from the
trenches that he didn't propose to
stand any enrnachment on hts own
liberty while the fight for the liberty
of nations was the hottest?

trenches that he resented the restric

with bread?
Will the fellow who don't think much

he didn't see any need for the Red

come marching home?
Will the kicker-the bloomin', ever
lasting kicker-face the men from the
trenches with tales of things endured
here at home?
The answer is NO. Certainly ne
will not, for the future years are going
to be filled with contempt and loathins
for the fellow who shirked, when the

Etiquette Of Fish Feast.

In the Samoan islands, when fish
feast is held, the piece de resistance
must be divided up in accordance with
a rigid and unvarying etiquette. The
heads are assigned to the tribal ora
tors, who are of the high nobility. The
flesh just behind the gills is set apart
for guests whom the host of the occa-
sion desires to honor. The pectoral
fins "a particular delicacy) go to the
king. The cuts across the spine just
abaft the pectorals (the very parts we
should think most desirable) are dis
tributed among the common people.
For the chiefs the tail and belly parts
are reserved.

Thrilled by the sight Of it.

But has felt the might of it
Through day and night;

Made manhood dare for 1t,

Kept it so white.
