UNIFORM LAWS NEEDED. j
Tin* iin|><ulani-i* nl' uniform
laws, such as arc being advocat
ed hy I lie American liar Associa
tion, is si en in a comparison of
the penalties imposed in the
slates for various crimes. As an j
example, burglary in the lirsl.de-;
gree is punished in almost as j
many different ways as there are j
states. ;
A criminal convicted ul burg
lary in the lirsl. degree may es
cape with a minimum sentence of
one year in more' than a dozen
states, lie could gel an indeterm
inate sentence in Washington, lie
could not get less Ilian Ion years
in Minnesota. He could not get
more than seven years in Cali
fornia. The Maximum in Mary
land is ten years. A burglar may
tie sentenced to lifeinFIorida,
-Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio,
Rhode island and South Carolina,
tie may he. sentenced to death
.in Delaware1, Louisiana, North
Carolina or Virginia.
A man may go to California
and commit burglary in the first
degree and the worst punishment
that could be imposed upon him
would be the least lie could gel
if lie had forged a cheek for SI
in Oklahoma. Similar variations
in the laws and punishments ex
ist in regard to other crimes,
all of which are confusing and il
logical. Forgery should he forg
ery and the punishment the same
in any slate in I he t'nion. The
same should he true in respect
to tile laws relating to other smi
.jects. The variation in regard
to crimes is not so important a*
is that relating to laws on mar
4‘iage and divorce, some phases
of commercial I ransact ions usl
other subjects In which there is
direct conflict and resulting e i.
fusion. _
EDITORIAL ROTES.
In Iowa mail lias wrilten In ask
if the people rule. They do not.
The women rule.
A man's hair grows gray be
fore his beard because it is prob
ably 20 years older.
A'o man believes the sign which
reads. "This Means You," ap
plies to him personally.
It is also demanded of a father
That he be frugal and save money
-enough to set his son-in-law up
in business.
A technically bad egg is doomed
but a technically bad man has a
hundred < bailees lo prove he is
not bad at all.
Carnegie pensions for ex-presi
dents would be in greater demand
did it not require such a bd of
trouble to qualify.
Nothing recalls the mind of the
married man to the .joys of sin
gle life so vividly as to find dial
the baby has been eating crack
ers in bed.
A philosopher says: “Whisk
ers are always good-natured.1’
Everybody knows that. II, is the
folks who have to listen to the
whistler that get ugly.
The man in Oregon who has
been sentenced to a cumulative
term of 80(1 years would seem
to have a good case for claiming
a commutation to a life sentence.
The story dial Jefferson rode a
horse to the rapitol and hitched
the animal to a post while he
went in to take the oath of office
as president is declared to be not
true. Maybe hi* hitched Ihe horse
to the cherry tree Ih.^l young
Washington did not ml down.
DYSPEPSIA.
Oh, the hints do their warbling
in vain, and the zephyrs seen, hut
to complain when your innards
are thrilled by dyspepsia and li!l
ud with some fifty-six samples of
pain. When your grub doeot’l
iiil the right spot, all talk about
sunshine seems rot: and you feel
Ibal I he pole of Hie •optimist note
Humid be led out at sunrise and
shot. When your sjouiach's the
scene of a storm, ’nealli the col
lar your apl In be warm: and I lie
uplift seems punk and true pro
gress is junk, and you don't care
three whoops for reform. All
maxims and proverbs are stale,
to help you they hopelessly fail:
and you're sore at Ibe gent wlm
would talk of content, and would
give him a ride oil a rail. It’s
easy lo dance and to sing while
your stomach is slill in the ring:
lull it’s hard lo be glad when I hat
stomach is bad. when it's broken
a lever or spring. It's bard to lie
gay as a I li rush when the pain
in your stomach won't hush:
when you have to go shy of the
sleak and Hie pie. and lill up your
person with mush. I sing like a
jay mi a shrub when my stomach
can handle the grub: but don't
you come near with a message of
cheer when I’m sick, or I might
use a club.

Economical
Ironing
y
To iron economically
you must not waste
heat.
Ironingwith ordinary
flat irons is very waste
ful of heat; most of the
heat goes up the kitchen
chimney; a lot of it is
wasted in charring the
ironing pad and in
scorching the clothes.
Ironing with a
Q-E Electric
Flat Iron
is quite different — all the
beat is in the iron, ready to
go into the pieces ironed in
stead of going into the Boom
or up the kitchen chimney.
None of it is wasted.
To uie only the amount of
heat actually needed for
ironing, be it either heavy
damp pieces or laces,
embroidery or other light
goods is real economy.
That’s why G-E Irons are
used in 'thousands of homes
throughout the country..
We keep all sty les and sizes
