recompense, as far as his means would
permit, 20 Pappas' family.
Daniel o. Hastings was counsel for
the defendant.
Mr.. Relnhardt. explaining the circum-
stances Of tho case, said that Flynn,
partially under the influence Of liquor,
went 10 Pappas' restaurant, Fourth and
Adams streets, and fell asleep. Pappas
awoke him, and Flynn instantly and
without thought Of doing him any
harm, flung an umbrella in the air, the
point Of IL entering Pappas eye, causing
a fracture Of the skull which resulted
in his death. The assault was utterly
unpremedltated, Mr.. Reinhardt stated,

children.
Mr.. Hastings stated that when the
condition OF Pappas family was
brought to his and Flynn's attention,
Flynn Immediately secured as much
money as ne possibly could FOR Pappas
family. Flynn Is a working man, Mr..
said, and to secure the amount
Of money he did was a hard problem
Tor him. The only thing that appeared
against Flynn's reputation, Mr. Hastings
declared, was that he occasionally
frank.
Flynn has no recollection Of the oc-
he said.

/ There can be no question of the indignation
with which many people cognizant of the cir
cuInstances attending the release of the con-
scientious DIRECTORS from the barracks at Fort
iLeavenworth, Kansas, view the procedure. 1t
was not the release after restoration to duty
that occasoned the protest, but the thlrty-three
thousand, six hundred dollars in money for pay
and allotments which the one hundred and thir-
teen men who had refused to do military duty
carried away with them, the average amount
lper man running from four hundred dollars to
lsix hundred dollars. There have been many
soldiers sent to these same disciplinary barracks
for minor attractions of discipline and not one
of them has been given back pay Leaving out
the question of abstract justice, it is small Won
der that the soldiers are resentful of the profit
which seems to accrue to refusal to do military
service because of conscientious scruples I'm
iquestionably there are such scruples and I'M
.questionably there are men who have suffered
much for their sincerity of belief Some Of
these men have spoken clearly their beliefs and
have from the first refused to take the army pay
and allotments provided. Here at least is con-
sistency and an enlightened public will readily
understand and feel regret rather than resent
lment. But it cannot be denied that the war de-
partment's procedure in restoring to honorable
military status and to all the profits accruing to
such status of men who would not enter the
army because they declare the army to them
constitutes a cardinal sin, has a semblance of
Inconsistency and unfairness that carries con-
viction to many of our people. The profits of
refusal to obey the nations will are abnormal
and the men who accept anything more than a
bare necessity abnormal prohteers.

TELLING THE TRUTH.

1t used to be said in eulogy OF certain edu-
cational institutions of this country, that they
trained their students to tell the truth. Z" But
there is no evidence that they really did this
thing. What they did insist upon, as a stamp
of the schools, was not to tell lies and this is a
far different matter. We have in public Life
today plenty of people who do not tell lies.
But we honestly need just now lot of public
people who can command an audience and who
will tell the truth
s'Democracies tend to make moral towards
of public men" says Senator Borah. ''Unless
the people rise to the situation, unless they
awaken to the task and demand high ideals and
truly American standards, there is no hope
from state legislatures, from spineless CON
crosses OF listening and trimming politicians -
Now there are q lot of good public men who
are seemingly affected by the urge of the sur
face currents of the day. it is easy to float with
them; it is dangerous to swim against them if
the head is to be kept safely above the surface.
These men do not tell their fellows lies; they
tell truth but not the whole truth For in
stance it is being told to the listening public
of the world that more and more control of It's
affairs is to go into the hands of the workers of
the world This is truth, but it is in reality a
misleading truth-m misleading since it seems to
mislead so many who hear it.
As matter of established fact the control
of affairs has always been in the hands of work
ers. But those who have the best results anc
advantages have been workers with their heads
Now we are seeing coming to leadership mel
who are workers with heads and hands, anc
this is as it should be, for this is the ideal
bination of human development, the thinke
who can do. But a lot of people seem to be O
! the opinion that control has been exercised b
ldlers and that now it is going to people VIII
work with their hands So it may, but only q
these same people are head workers. The pre-
letarlat OF Lenlne and Trotsl1y does not contrc

REMARKABLE PHOSPHATE
MAKES THIN PEOPLE FAT

Something over sixty years ago
Pelouz. a French scientist, discovered
. form Of organic phosphate which
when taken into the human system
was quickly converted into nerve
tissue.
Soon after its discovery DR.. Alder,
Robin academy Of Medicine, Paris)
began scientific investigation OF
the use of this organic phosphate and
its effect upon the human system,
with results that amazed the scien-
tific and medical world.
Today 1t is an admitted fact that
in the treatment of those ailments
directly or indirectly due. to depleted
nervous vitality, such as neuras-
thenia, nervous weakness, premature
old age, Insomnia, lack of energy,
fatigue, nervous debility, thinness,
etc, it Is unequalled.
Physicians and hospitals every
whore now recognize its merits by its
use In ever-increasing quantities. and
1t is therefore a matter of more than
ordinary interest to all such suffer
ers to learn that this organic nerve
building phosphate is now obtainable

Cummins. we believe. is right. In

we do not want" to make the United
1 States the guardian of all the inn
beetles in the world. If we will come
back home. leaving Europeans TO
| look after some of their own inter
national affairs, we will find plenty
to do in this country. We have not
| yet solved all of the questions OF
democracy at home and until we DO
we would better not assume to be
the schoolnlasters OF the world. We
shall find that some do not want to
be taught what we believe, and why
should we try to use force to make
them learn or even to behave?
Cedar Rapids Republican: After
all. why should we assume to say
what shall be the boundary of this
or that European hinterland? We
are not going to look on kindly when
they come over on this side of the
ocean to tell us where our boundaries
shall be- Why butt in If we do not
want to be butted into?
Davenport Democrat: Anyone who
is scanning the Iowa papers nova

eral declaration that Iowa senators
and congressman are quite out OF
touch with the sentiment of their
state, and are frequently talking and
voting entirely at variance with the
convictions Of the people back home,
whom they are supposed to repre-
sent. Republican papers take the
lead in asserting this. Even
