A RAY OF HOPE IN THE EAST.

In an eastern state a woman has
ing trial on the charge. Our good old
forefathers had laws governing the
feminine tongue or rather punishins
the possessor Of free voCa bulary with
the Will to use IT, They used. after
conviction. to duck the voluble lady in
the river. For this purpose a seat was
placed on the end Of long pole some
thing like the old fashioned well sweep
of pioneer days and the derel.Ct was
dipped under. If when she came out
dripping with wetness her tongue con-
tinued TO drip language they popped
her under again ana so on auantum
sufficit until discretion and continued
duCking brought silence If not repent
ance. The law has been revived IN
the case referred to and the outcome
will be watched with intense eager
ness ny thousands and thousands OF
men from one end of the country to
the other.
II the law should take it's course. il
a court should uphold the wisdom OF
the puritan fathers, that noble band OF
men who dared the mad rage Of an
angry ocean, etc, etc" to found IN
strange continent, etc. etc. (see con-
gressional Record Of almost any date)
it might renew the masculine grip
that seems to be slipping and check
the onward reach OF uXorial autocracy
It might be then that a man could be
ten minutes late for supper and still
retain his bearing as head OF the FAM
lily, that he might play golf Of an after
noon. when his judgment held golf
better and pIeasanter than beating rugs
on the clothesiine. slip out to the LINKS
and return unslinkingly and with bold
ness to his own fireside, that if MS
conclusion were that the shirt he had
on was good for another day none
might make him afraid. When argu-
ment rose beyond pitch approved by
him ne could then make motions sus-
gestiye of raising and lowering a pole
with a stool at one end thus creating
at once proper submission and COM
piete silence. II would be his defence
in gardening time, the buiwark of mis-
bathrobe and slippers OF a Sunday

cross examination as to his where

ALIENS RESIGNATION.
TCedar Rapids Gnsette.]

W. 8. Aliens future political aspir-
atoms have been knocked into cooked
hat.
He's as dead politically as Heck's
pup and there are a lot OF folks in
Iowa who nre not going UP to the
mourners' bench to shed tears.
Aliens resignation was forecast when
the scandal broke in his office No
man in public life can live down
scandal that is bred in office Tho
public is SLOW TO rouse to anger: it
stands great zeal from it's public Of
hcials but once it becomes apparent
that gross negligence Is being prac
ticed 1t demands action.
It was not shown there was any
thing criminally wrong IN the office
OF the secreatry OF state, and we do not
believe there was. w. s. Alien ID IN
honest man. but he looked too much to
others to do his work ana he IL made
to suffer for the faults and mistakes
Of others. The automobile department
Of the secretary OF states office long
had been a joke. To obtain action
there was harder than to pry q dia-
mond out OF the sky. Allen was re-
sronsible FOR IT, He waB not on the
iob: he did not give the department
the attention 1t required: rather, he
trusted the matter to hts assistants the
chief OF whom was his son. Allen had
to pay. "
The secretary OF state has served
Iowa long. He was looked on a. a
pretty fair public official, and It was
almost a foregone conclusion that he
would ask his party to give him the
gubernatorial nomination two years
hence. But ne will not now. Any po-
litical aspirations he may have had
have gone glinmer1Ag He's done.
The Rathbun scandal probobly has
shattered other political hopes and
ambitions. ~
anyhow, the race for governor two
years hence will not be as crowded
as It gave promise Of being.
