a little Of the powdered delatone with
some water, then apply to the objec-

Iowa Decides.

A democratic senator for Iowa is hardly
within possibility. hence the spirited free-for- all
primary contest Tor the republican nomination
that ends with the victory OF Col. Smith w.
Brookhart Of Washington.
To read the returns is to be convinced that
the rank and file OF the republican party is pro-
gressive Colonel Brookhart's supper, was
double that OF his conservative opponent. former
Congressman Charles Z. Pickett Of Waterloo.
Clifford Thorne. recognized as liberal through
his early record on behalf OF the shippers in
railroad cases and through his connection with
the farmers cooperative marketing movement,
ran a good third That his headquarters for
some time has been in Chicago rather than his
home state without question lessened his draw
ing power. Congressman Burton E. Sweet,
campaigning on his connection with the farm
bloc, placed fifth. Last OF Al came Col. Claude
Stanley of Corning, who tested out what is
called "the soldier vote" by running mainly on
his service record
This elimination contest is step toward fill
ing the vacancy in the senate left by the resig-
nation Of Judge Kenyon, who himself was a
progressive. The democratic opponent OF Colonel
Brookhart will be Clyde L. Herring, who courts
on pull with the farmers because Of his having
for many years been the distributor of Ford
tractors and automobiles.
Support for the administration of President
Harding is made unmistakable by the renomin-
alton of the present incumbents Of congressional
seats. Colonel Brookhart is frankly radical
in his attitude toward transportation and agri-
cultural questions, but there has been no over
turn in Iowa
Omaha daily bee., 1922-06-08
Civil War in China.

Hope that China would be tranquilized and
brought to something like political stability
when General WI defeated General Hsi and
scattered his forces hangs by very slender
thread just now. Unihcation of China necessi-
tates the elimination of Sun Vat Sen president
of the Canton government, and strong man in
the old republic. Ii Yuan Hung, president de-
posed two years ago, has been recalled by the
old parliament, which was reassembled by WI,
and has Just emitted bitter denunciation of the
tuchuns, who have reduced the kingdom to po-
litical impotency. Whether his appeal to the
people will amount to more than so much wind
depends on the attitude Of the generals. Sun
declines to yield to Wu and the war between
north and south China bids fair to proceed.
However, it is we'll to remember that Sun is a
skilled diplomat and willy politician as we'll as
successful military leader, while the same can
be said of WI. What may take place between
this pair will determine the course of the
Chinese government for the next few months,
at any rate. Ii is back in Office, with the
original republican parliament functioning to
support him. Yet he is there by virtue of the
generals. 1t was the military clique who re-
moved him, and the same power called him
back, and it is never very far away. There
fore, any hope for the early establishment of
peace conditions in China must be tinged with
the uncertainty that is always felt in the pres
ence of the military rulers.

Trial by jury Is granted every man In the United
States because il is the humane principle OF the
law that no man shall be condemned on the
single judgment Of any. Twelve mea must agree
that he Is guilty before he can be made to suffer
any penalty, II crime has been committed. II
Is an ofiense against the public as great as against
the victim, So the juTyman Is solemnly charged
To protect the public; he is charged to give the
prisoner the benefit OF any reasonable doubt.
but IL the evidence clearly shows that the ae-
eused is guilty. then simple justice requires tina,
he be convicted. And. after conviction. no false
sense OF mercy should interpose TO induce the
iuryman 10 reconsider the conclusion he has
reached and ask that the euprit be relieved OF
the penalty he has incurred. That Is why Judge
Goss said that some members OF jury in his
eour, showed little respect for the court when
they signed aiiidavi,s for an attorney who sought
eseulpa,ion for a condemned client. Let mercy
temper justice. but le, il no, impede the protec-
