AN AWAKENING t
In an article a few weeks ogo Uro
Cobb of the Emerson Enterprise took
the reputation and alleged misdeeds o
an attorney at that place hy the neck
aud gave them a pretty severe airing,
and ns a result the. aforesaid editor is
now being sued for criminal libel by
the object of the attack. Wo know
nothing about the case, except by
hearsay, which is rather in favor of
Editor Cobb. If what he lias said was
not true upon investigation, an apolo
gy would no doubt bo forthcoming
from him; but if half what was in the'
article is trne, the object of his aneu
nations should bo nummarialy deult
with. It is not sttictly an editor's
duty to supcrviso the morals of a com
munity, yet it is his privilege to print
the truth and protect the morals and
associations of the readers of his paper.
The editor of the IIk.kai.d has made it
a practice to refer to nothing except
what has become ft matter of record,
yet ho has felt many times that a se
vere warning would have averted se
verer consoijuences.
It is a fact undisputed, that half of
people do not know how tho other
half lives; that only a part of tho scan
dal and misdeeds of a community
reach those who are in a position to,
and would, exert their efforts toward
their prevention. Tho condition of

for tho sanctity of tho marriage vow,
for tho purity of the homo, for tho
higher principles which lead to joy
and happiness, is beyond our concep
tion. I ho state of affairs is, to speak
plainly, outrageous. A modern Sodom

Germany hasn't a very largo navy, but
she has pride Lind honor. The prompt
ness with wh ich Germanv acted was
sad commentary on our government's
course of resorting to slow-going mails.
The administration at once felt the
rehnke, and then began to cable aWnit
the matter, but in a very Inkeware way.
I am afra'd wo have too much Anglo

Ex-Treasurer Kolln of Omaha who
was sentenced to tho pen for embez

decided against him this week. Jus

John D. Rockefeller has given the
country a valuable "object lesson. Ho
has shown us tho valuo of money bags
ns an intrenchment behind . which a
man may hide away from searching in
quiry. The Industrial Commission wanted
to examine Mr. Itockefeller. Mr.
Itockefeller did not want to be exam
ined. Se lie merely remarked : "You
may send inn a list of questions and I
will answer them."
No I'rinro in Europe outside of Rus
sia could have been so contemptuously
superior to tho law. Albert Edward
of Wales had to goon the stand and
"perjure himself liko a gentleman"
when ho w as summoned in n divorce
cat ). But Albert Edward did not have
$2.10,000,000.
In conclusion, it is interesting to
note that in his written reply to tho In
dustrial Commission Mr. Itockefeller
said :
"The dangers aro that combination
may be formed for speeulutinn in
stocks rather than for conducting bu
siness, and that for this purpose prices
may bo tcmperarialy raised instead of
being lowered.
Tins was said to have been written
on Tuchday. A day later tho Stand
ard Oil Conpauy, controlled by Mr.
Rockefeller, "raised" tho price of oil
three cents u gallon.
By this "raising" instead of "lower
ing" the price of oil Mr. Rockefeller
increases his income by millions a
year.
This is the danger ho refers to
How would he advise us to meet it?

Article I. Section 10. of that dooument
denies tho right of any state, and by

anything but gold and silver coin a

then, ulasl the old constitution is going
