II DOESN'T PAY

Highway robbery and theft are the
two poorest avocations in the list.
Who ever knew or heard OF q rich
and respected thief or highwayman.
Which makes 1t harder to under
stand why mon with decent oppor-
tunity. like that possessed supposedly
by those farmers near Glidden, should
deliberately try to rob a bank and get
away with a sum like $1,000. Aside
for the morals OF 1t the wages Of sin
were too small.
4 Now out about Glidden the farms
are superb and laugh out loud in oats
and corn and livestock when they are
tickeled with the pillow. It appears
from tse press dispatches that at
least one Of the accused men was a
wealthy far uer. What do you imagine
lured him into that hold up!
Setting aside the morals OF the At
fair for the morals OF man who
deliberately starts out to rob bank
or an individual are not worth con-
sidering the chances are that the
robbery was suggested by tho readi-
ness with which yeggs have been
blowing safes and holding up banks
and getting away with it untouched
by the officers OF the law. Perhaps.
also, the growing conviction that the
guy with plenty OF fall money" and
influential friends can usually get out
from under had something to 40 with
1t. Tho impression might have been
gained from the system in a near
by county In which the sheriff got
the money back from check forger
and distributed 1t to the victims after
which the criminal went on his way;
or from the system generally pIe-
valent in which, the criminal law is
invoked to get the money or the
goods back and a felony condoned
by the prosecutors and permitted by
county attorneys and others under
oath to execute the laws.
But getting back to the original
proposition 1t doesn't pay. It doesn't
pay the thief or the hold up. It doesn't
pay the community to condone fell
ony.
Prompt prosecution Of crime with
out favor or respect OF persons limits
crime. Laxness encourages 1t. The
impression thats he can get. away
With At leads Aome men into orime.s
The Impression that Others do get
away with It offers the lower class
OF criminals self sufficient excuse

BILLY WHISPERS
(Copyright.)

While Billy listened Jack told
Tom that he had not heard about
the circus. Tom. who had Just re-
turned from The Corners where he
had gone on an errand for his
mother. then told him about the
show bills that some men were put
ting up on the sides of the post
Office and blacksmith shop. He
said that he had waited so long to
see them all that he had forgotten
all about his errand--he called it
his old errand"--that his mother
was waiting for the baking powder
and that he had caught hail CO.

Jack said that was nothing, it
did not hurt when fellow was used
to 1t as he was. and that IL he had
been In Toms place he wouldn't be

bravely, spanked for going In swim

he mustn't because the water was too

Jack hadn't acted then as tho it didn't

and made him so mad that he had
almost decided to run away and join
the gypsies who had been camping
at the river not far away.
But he hadn't gone after all and
was now waiting for his friend Tom
to tell him more about the circus. It
made him almost sick when he

OF imagining how much they would

While he was planning this re-

to talk about clowns and beautiful

and the wonderful doingt OF the

listening with might and main. He
had never in all his eventful life
been to circus, didn't know what

The legion demands Posts removal
because OF his unAmericanism. He
has protected undesirable aliens from

will make his speech at Des Moines.
There 10 one particular thing that
Mr.. McAdoo should begin and end
his speech on-the operation Of the
railroads under himself and subor-.
dinates. Perhaps he can, and will
say something on the fashion In
which the administration with HIM
self acting as pilot managed to run
transportation into the ditch while
raising the cost more than q
billion. Cox kept away from the
railroad question when he was in
the state. Perhaps. we viii be able
to get some inside information from
McAdoo as to how 1t was done and
who got it.
Claude Porter as candidate for the
senate seeks to inherit from, the
Brookhart campaign. Mr.. McAdoo
is coming to the assistance Of Mr..
Porter. Recently, Herbert 8. Btge-
low came to Des MONIES and held
a meeting In Porter's penalf. OF
course the Cummins Esch law was
condemned by him. He also had q
substitute-the Plumb plan Of turn
ing the roads over to the employees.
That wds the best he could offer.
Now as against Porter and Bige-
low and the employees VINO would like
to have the people buy the, roads and
turn them over to be managed and
operated by Employees are the Farm
Bureau and the farmers who con-
stitute it and who have approved the
Cummins- Esch law as the best that
could be done; there are democrat
senators like Pomerene Of Ohio who
helped make it and who 1t is said
refuses to let Cox talk ABOUT it in
his speeches, Robinson, who was
Underwood, democratic leaoer in the
senate; and finally all those who put
the interests Of the public above i'm
mediate personal political ambitions
and immediate individual and class
interests.
The fight against the Cpmmins-
Esch law is fight for renewal
Of the McAdoo billion dollar dis
aster or a worse thing, the Plumb
plan. It is incredible that the solid,
business like people Of Iowa should
give such a movement even passing
consideration. It is not to Mr.. Port
er's credit that he should use such
means to a personal ana party end.
Sending McAdoo to Iowa is like
sending the man who wrecked a
bank out to organize a new one.
