Natural Effects of Leniency.

The alleged leader of band Of
plotters responsible for arson has
been caught by secret service officers.
They are now seeking his accomplices.
According to accounts of his activi-
ties he has been a representative OF
Captain Boyd, the criminal head of
the German conspiracy organization in
this country His nefarious work be-
gan not only before the United States
went to war with German, but even
before the outbreak began in Europe,
in 1914. The plot to undermine
America had its inception almost a
quarter Of a century ago.
If this plotter went about unlaw-
fully clad in an American officers uni
form and gathering military informa-
ton as well as planting bombs and
starting fires judiciously he is a spy
of the first magnitude. The penalty
for spying is death. And yet confine'
ment, followed by parole in many in
stances, is the most severe punishment
yet inflicted on any of the numerous
plotters rounded up in the last year.
| 1t won't do. Lives Of American CIV
ilians are jeopardized continually by
the spies and plotters. Permitting
these criminals to loll about in COM
Portable detention camps or walk
about in freedom is rewarding treach-
cry.
The agents of "frghtfulness" are
contemptuous Of country that uses
kid gloves in dealing with its enemies
Fires at army barracks, food ware
houses, munitions depots and indus
trial plants will go on until hanging
or shooting becomes the penalty.

The Day in Davenport

To Reduce Herd-At Wednesdays
meeting of the Davenport park board,
i. was decided to further reduce the
size of the herd of buffalo and elk at
Fejervary park. This action was de-
cided on by reason of the rapidly ad-
vancing price Of feed necessary for
these animals. Up to the present
time five buffaloes have been disposed
OF There are nine of these animals
left Two elk have been sold and
there are five left. The commission
ers announce the park ponds and
lakes have been cleared of snow and
are now in good condition for the
skaters.
Four Enlist-The officers at the
Davenport recruiting station gave
out the names of three Davenport
men and one Rock Islander who en-
listed in the army. They were sent
to Jefferson barracks, st. Louis, Mo.

guilty late Wednesday afternoon be-
fore United States Commissioner A.

federal grand jury, next term, and
remanded to Scott county Jail in de-
fault of $4,000 bond. Steinke recently
served a term of three months for
failure to register. At the term of
federal court held here last summer
Steinke was taken before Federal

has arrived because Russia is already
exhausted and because the strain upon
all the other powers is approaching
the limits of endurance. Only the
United States can come into the fight
with great reserves of strength. and
therefore the result depends upon the
United States.
The vehement and effective" use of
American power will mean such a
victory over militarism as will make
the broad program Of world reform
outlined by the British premier and
the American president realizable.
A failure to exercise that power
may not mean defeat, but it will
mean such a degree of failure as will
render the world war thing Of p-

Epileptic Seizures.
Il never miss your section of our
favorite paper. l am unfortunately
subject to epileptic seizures. | am AZ
years old and have had these seizures
for nine years. Last year | spent
much time and more long green than
ever mention to anybody with doc
tor, but the only relief ! got was
the long green. The surgeon punctur-
ed my abdomen, changing my colon to
a semi-cOlOn. In your answer to q
correspondent you said one with cpl
lepsy should avoid bowel and liver
remedies. For few weeks l have
been taking a brand of liquid petro-
latum or mineral oil, guaranteed to
cure everything from dendruff to
housemaiG's knee. Is there any harm
in taking it as an intestinal Lubricant!
II you do not think it is liable to dc
any damage I'll continue taking it
three times day, as it seems to cheer
the only real friend l ever had. Is a
man with a semi-colon supposed to
pause only half as long at the table as
man with d colon?''
The surgeon referred to in the cor
respondents letter is thoroughly
competent and well established abb
dominal surgeon. If he punctuated the
patient so carefully as described, the
punctuation at least will not do the
man any harm. The surgeon had rea-
son to hope that the operative relief
of intestinal stasis might bring relief
to the epileptic seizures. for such op-
erations have repeatedly put a STOP
to epileptic seizures.
Epilepsy is group of ailments
characterized in one way-seizures OF
temporary unconsciousness with OF
without convulsive movements. There
is on question that certain cases OF
epilepsy, at least, have been vastly
helped and sometimes cured by such
punctuation as the correspondent
mentions.
The mineral oil can do no harm
Several doses of it every day. to serve
as an intestinal lubricant, would be
much better than resorting to medi-
cine in any case of toxemia or auto
intoxication In which proper diet, hab-
it and exercise fail to control the
