CURRENT PHILOSOPHY
IMslnson Democrat

The man who kicks because he has
to sit behind an Easter hat in church
is too often the same fellow who will
stand UP all through the performance
to see a variety show when he is away
from home.
The fellow who is afraid of microbes
in the holy water never dreams of any
such danger in whisky.
A woman can get just as much re-
Iigion without new Easter hat as with

LET us not be hasty." advises the
burlington Hawkeye. Give the new
road law a fair trial and then we will
all have respect for our final judgment.

fortably.
The man who Is always cursing the
country Is ore of the fellows who make
it mighty mean place to live.
The poor may enjoy Easter as well
as the rich H. they do so economically.
The micrube of discomfort works
more havoc than the microbe that starts
a deadly plague.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

s"rhe conservative democrats of Iowa

haste to get into the Hearst band wag-
en-" observes the Parkersburg Eclipse,
but that doesn't bother Bill any. He
goes right on gathering in delegates"
The Spirit Lake Beacon notes that
'the editors who are determined to
produce harmony with a meat axe are
swinging their instrument of pacifica-
ton with untiagging zeal. AS they
stand with beetling brows defying Cam
adam free trade, tariff rippers and
other frightful bogies of their own crea-
ton the heroes of history shade off into
insignificance. Room for harmony
Commenting on Senator Burton's fall
the Globe-Gazette says: Lust for gold
has only one end-it may come late, but
1t will come"
The Waterloo Times Tribune thinks
the passage of the Chassell bill would
have been the means of much trouble
and would have simply retarded the
security of good roads in the state. The
new law demanding that all road tax be
paid in cash has not had a chance to
prove itself of value and to defeat its
purpose at this time would seem poor
law The sentiment of the state is for
good roads and they can be secured on
~ under strict legislation and the mat
ter of roadmaking placed in the hands
of those who have made a study of it"
In the opinion of the Webster City
Freeman Tribune "the republican par
ty would march nearer the line of duty
and hew closer to the mark of public
obligation at all times If the travelling
were little more difficult. Big ma
jorities beget carelessness and the sense
OF security invites fractional discord and
destroys party discipline. For the good
of the republican party it is to be hoped
the democrats will nominate their
strongest man."

IOWA NOT FOR RUSSIA"

New York Tribune.]
iowa Not for Russia" was the head
ing of a news item the other day an
nouncing that resolution of sympathy
with Russia in the present war had
been almost unanimously voted down
by the Iowa house Of representatives.
Had there been space the heading
might we'll have added Nor For Ja-
PAN The Iowa house did we'll in re-
jecting the motion, not because 1t was
against Rus sia, nor because it was in
favor of Japan, but because whatever
the individual synrpathies of the menu
bers. it would have been an improper
thing for the house, as a body, to make
any expression of partisanship on
either side. The United States is neu-
trail in this war. The state of Iowa and
every other state in the union should
scrupulously' observe the same neutral
ity We repeat, then, that the Iowa
house did well, and 1T ds to be hoped
it's example will be unhesitatingly fol-
lowed by every other public body, II
ever occasion should arise.

STARTING SOMETHING.

tCIldTIeS SAty Encouragement
In an article under the heading The
Good Roads Craze" the editor OF the
Cedar Rapids Republican says that to
undertake to accomplish the desired
results would mean the ruination the
farmers. Evidently Editor Cole, ef the
Republican, knows about as much
about road making as he does about
farming in Iowa, for he says fur
Their: "The modern farmer does not
haul a great deal of stuff To market
he drives most of 1t on the hoof." II
Editor Cole keeps on improving In farm
knowledge he will soon be fitted to
start farm Journal or edit a syndicate
feature for general use by newspapers.
The only farm product driven to mar.
ket on the hoof'' is fat cattle. Hogs,
sheep and poultry are almost without
exception hauled to market In wagons.
What Editor Cole does not know about
farming would make a fine "Agricul-
tural Department" for the country
press, and Judging from his article
above referred to he knows about as
much about good roads and their
making as he does about agricultural
matters.

JUST A WAY STATION

Fort Dodge Messenger.t
As matters stand now Fort Dodge is
a way station on the line of the Great
Western and probably will have no
more than a switch engine and a
bridge watcfman. The company does
not consider it owes the city any OBJ
legation and certainly the city owes
none to the company. 1t is a relief to
know that Fort Dodge cannot lose
much more from the railroad for it
has nothing more to be taken away.

THE CRYING NEED.


What we need in Boone county and
In the Whole United States is not more
political bosses, more wirepullers,
more scrap politicians, more bull
dozers, trying to invest all their an
ger and witticism into conventions,
etc. in order to carry the day. We
need not more men buying offices ana
gazing their point at any cost. When
the country gets into that rut, we
have reached a certain crisis In the
times and events of nation that is
dangerous. We need more civic right
eousness, more men who are looking
for principle rather than for policy.
True principle can not predominant
where anger and dissension rule and
civic righteousness is no longer toler-
ated We may go to local, county,
state and national affairs. Unless
there is this principle there is some
thing wrong in the political machinery.
and no legislation In the world could
better the condition. The country is
not thirsting for very many more laws
for regulating the affairs of this the
greatest country on the earth, but we
want more civic righteousness both
for this and the on-coming genera
ton. Go and seek 1t.

Federation of Labor, who has been
chief operator for the labor Interests
in the legislature this winter. and has
made a host of friends there. 1T Is
the principle of the thing that we OBJ

those who oppose it declare that they
mean another. and it's Importance as a
matter of political controversy has been
magnitied thousand fold. A personal
fight among, party leaders is bad
enough, but a personal fight which dis
guises itself behind a trumped up con-
test on party issues is much worse. A
fight based upon misunderstanding and
waged upon false issues settles nothing,
while it results in endless hate and dis
cord. 1t is time for Iowa republicans
to pause and for each man to ask OF
his opponent what are his actual opin-
ions before lie INDUCES in a TRADE of
abuse against him.
