THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

The liquor problem has been one
eff the grayest before the people of
the state OF Iowa for a number Of
years.
There has been hopeless impossible
ity of agreement amongst voters of
all political faiths as to what the pol
icy OF the state should be on this is
sue A portion of the population.
some of them good and respectable
men, have been and are opposed to
!, the exercise by the state government
of any regulations whatsoever over
this traffic, not so much owing to their
belief that the use of intoXicants is
not harmful in promoting crime, dis
order, poverty, sickness and death;
but their position is based more upon
the belief thatsumptuaryla laws in which
they class regulations of liquor traf-
fic) interfere with the personal rights
and liberties of the citizen, and the
freedom OF action Of the individual.
and therefore that such regulations do
not properly come within the scope of
government.
Another portion of the population
goes to the opposite extreme and is OF
the conviction that owing to the bane,
ful results following the use of intoxi
SAINTS; owing to the suffering il brin
on many homes, women and children
owing to the expense it entails upon
counties in looking after criminals
whose crime is attributable tc
liquor, ana the expense it entails in

DOES A COLLEGE EDUCATION
PAY?

There has come to the editors hands
during the past week a copy of the
second and revised edition of a book
devoted to biographical information
concerning living persons who are fore
most in the affairs of the American re-
public today in all departments of
life.
1t is an interesting work, and differs
from most biographical encyclopedias
in that it makes no mention of the
dead. 1t tells of the spirit back of the
people and those of our neighbors who
are leaders in current thought and ac-
ton.
From the IL ,551 sketches relative to
the men and women mentioned S,141
furnished full data concerning their
educational advantages. OF these s.
141, more than seventy per cent, or
t5,775, attended college, 1921 of them
graduating.
On the list appear 81 who are self.
taught, praise be to their ambition
self-denial, lonely toll and presever
ance. More credit is due them than
to many times those who were fortu
nate enough to have their way through
college paid
Only twelve per cent OF. the 1851
are foreign born.
OF the grand total TIT graduated ir
medicine, 521 in law, 494 in theology
1927 from technical engineering, archi
itectural, chemical, agricultural schools
etc., 999 from the military and nava
departments of the government; a,
l521 are graduates of universities anc
colleges comforting baccalaureate de
grees in letters, science or philosophy
/ Here is living, practical, eloquen
demonstration of the value of col
lege education.

For Homeseekers and
Land Investors.

The passenger department Of the
Illinois Central railroad has just re-
ceived from the hands of the printer,
new folder in the interest of Home
seekers and Land Investors. Many
are looking for new homes and for
land Investments. This folder fur
nishes brief but reliable information
as to the resources and possibilities
of the states of Kentucky, Tennessee
Mississippi and Louisiana. The OPP
portunities for investments in the
above mentioned states are unsur-
passed in any part of this great coun-
try. Homeseekers' excursions to points
within these states are run by the
Illinois Central the first and third
Tuesday of every month, at a rate of
one fare plus So and these excursions
should be taken advantage of by ev-
eryone in search of home or invest
ments in timber or farm lands.

THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM.

AS adopted by the national demo.
cratic convention July 5, 1900, and re
affirmed by the Iowa state democracy
August 81, 1901, what does it advo.
cate? What evils does it say the
American people are laboring under
today, and of what does it propose to
relieve them?
The platform urges local taxation
and home government for Porto Rico
(Which republican congress has al,
ready given the island.)
Urges local government by the Gu
bans, which these islanders have now
about perfected.
Wants the peaceful, law-abiding and
Industrious class of citizens in the
Philippine Islands deprived of the pro
lection of the nation which took the
arm of Spain from their affairs; and
favors turning these deserving and al
most helpless beings over to the trait
orous mercy of Aguinaldo's band OF
depredators and savage guerillas
Armed resistance to such outlawry
the platform terms "militarism" in the
absence of a more definite term. The
present administration wisely ant
properly refuses to abandon the island
ers to Aguinaldo's followers, prefer
ing to preserve life and property, u
teach the natives common language
and the nature and responsibilities o
civil government, in which during al
ages heretofore they have never takel
a part.
This democratic platform repudiate
that party's previous uniform adyo
cacy of expansion as practiced b.
them in the purchase of the Louisian;
territory, in acquiring Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, in acquiring Texa
and Florida.
Has the temerity to protest agains
trusts in face Of the party's opposition
in 1900 to the constitutional amend
ment proposed by the dominant part.

Such in brief is the Kansas City

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Should Return Lacey.-Every two
years since Lacey has been in con-
gress there has been talk of defeating
him for the nomination and the pres
ent agitation is just the old story re-
yived. Lacey walloped General Weav-
er so hard that he was the best that
ever came down the sixth district pike
for while, but ever and anon there
are some young men who think his
shoes would not be too small for them
nor his hat too large. The sixth
should keep Major Lacey in congress
at least for four years longer.-Mason

A Forecast.-Thomas J. Phillips, ex-
mayor of Ottumwa, and soon to be ex-
candidate for governor of Iowa, is al
ready denying statements made to

democratic platforms and hastings. is
an unparalleled innovation adopted for
the first time by republicans who
thereby became despoilers of an i'm
maculate doctrine.
But the facts show that expansion
is peculiarly a democratic policy OF
and almost invariably applied by
them.
By President Jefferson. the father
of democracy, we acquired in 1903 at
a cost of $15,OOO,OO0 the Louisiana ter
ritory.
In 1919 Florida was purchased for
$5,000,000 by President Monroe of the
democratic-republican party Ito which
the present democracy succeeded)
Under President Harrison in 1S45
a democratic house of representatives
favored the annexation OF Texas, our
title to which was perfected the fol
lowing year by the democratic presi-
dent, Polk, who in 1876 wisely secured
for the country the territory now COW
cred by Oregon, Washington and
Idaho.
And two years later the same dem
ocratic regime happily acquired New
Mexico and California as the result of
a war of conquest with Mexico urged
by democratic administration.
President Johnson, through whom
we acquired bleak Alaska at cost of
S7,000,000, i'll 1867, was prior to the
war a democratic congressman and
senator.
Expressed in different form, we
have acquired under democratic in
