THE WARRIORS OF CIVILIZATION.

Not all the great victories are won in
war. Peace hath her triumphs. The
laboratory is the scene of struggles as
desperate and deadly as the battle
field and it's investigators are spend
ing their lives as freely for the world
as the japanese are offering theirs for
their country.
The current number of the Evening
Post contains an absorbingly interest,"
ing story of the long and successful
campaign of the bacteriologists against
diphtheria. 1t has all the movement
and intensity of the siege of Port Ar
thur and means more to the world than
the political changes that have follow
ed all the wars Of history. Step by
step Kitasato and Van Behring, Roux
and Yersin followed the clue found by
Loeffler until after innumerable fall
ures and years of labor and repeated
experiment the preventive and curative
serum was perfected that makes the
physician master of diphtheria. After
the anti-toxic effectiveness of the SER
um had been established the vital
question of supplying it in sufficient
qualities remained unsolved until Roux
experimenting for years on the lower
animals found in the horse
the animal large enough to
furnish the serum In quantities and
sufficiently sensitive to the toxin to
produce serum of high anti-toxic
power. Nor did the investigators con-
fine their experiments to the lower ami
mails. They included themselves
and members of their house,
holds and took and gave dam
gerous doses Of powerful serums
the action of which was problemat-
ical, And when the specific was at
last perfected 1T was free to the world
There is no royalty on the anti toxin
for diphtheria. Withal II occupied
eleven years Of hard work, danger and
expense on the part of half a hundred
bacteriologists. When the true roster
of heroes is unveiled the names of the
men who have reduced the fatalities of
diphtheria from more than so per cent
to less than IL will stand above all the
Togos and Kurokis the bloodthirsti-
ness of the centuries has produced. 1t
is greater to save life than to take It,
The preventive part Of the serum
has attracted little notice and yet 1t
has been proved that a single injec-
ton in a healthy child renders it i'm
mune for weeks against infection. To
quote examples from Russia, where the
disease is more virulent than anywhere
else on earth: In an outbreak of diph-
iberia in the orphanage Of Woronetz
the 1913 children in the institution were
at once given the preventative serum;
safe to say that they were already In
fected OF 537 children In al Podolia
orphanage four took it. OF 453 children
in the hospital of kherson, five con-
tracted the disease, but only one with

had been guaranteed.

naval horror in the eastern seas to
contemplation of the quiet battle of

At their next convention Of Iowa
mail carriers the question of pensions
is one of the subjects for discussion.
There is, however, a long and rocky
road before any proposition to extend

cradle difference between the good
wages and peaceful pursuit of let

of an enlisted man in the military or

Politically, the situation is bad and
growing worse. Had the membership
Of the national house not been in
creased after the late census Iowa
would have lost representative
thru failure to gain in poplation
as rapidly as other stat IS had done. 1t
is almost certainty that for the five
year period Iowa will show but slight
gain at best and there need be no
surprise if there is on the total a de-
crease. The next five year period does
not promise to be materially better,
and after the national census, un-
less the house should be again en-
larged Iowa will lose one man. In
any event, if the state retains the old
number other states will be given in
creases, so that Iowa, the best agricul-
tural state in the union, will suffer a
relative loss in any event. What Is
the matter with Iowa? Why should the
waste places of the earth be on the
gain while our state shows loss?

go out of office as big u man as he
went In. Grover Clevela1 I'd was wor-
shipped for two or three months or
six months after his second election.
After that he was cursel from hades
to breakfast He was blamed for the
hard times just as Roosevelt will be
blamed for failure to pass the rate
bill and tariff reform and every other
reform he. has set out to bring about.
1t will not be his fault but he will
fail for lack of tact just as Cleveland
failed. Mckinley got what he wanted
because he was tactful and kindly and
human. Roosevelt proposes to take
the bull by the horns. IIe runs things
by main strength and awkwardness.
Mark what we say, which doesn't
amount to much and doesn't cost any
thing. Roosevelt will go out of office
as despised as Grover Cleveland.

The CHANGE He Wanted.

At a dinner in New York Prince
Fushimi Of Japan praised monogamy.
He said that he believed it would not
be many years before polygamous
marriage contracts would quite vanish
from the face of the earth.
"All men of education" he said, mo
matter what their color or creed may
be, believe that it is only right to have
one wife. It is in Jest alone that such
men say to their wives what I once
heard a F'renchman say to his.
"She was complaining to her hus-
band that he was too much Of book
worm, that he retired too often to his
study. leaving her to pass too many
evenings alone.
~ WISH she ended plaintively I
wish l was book. Then I might all
ways have your company"

man answered, I'D wish you were an
almanac. Then l could change you

eff Dolliver should be a candidate in

the Webster City Freeman Tribune.
1T is early to launch presidential cam

that direction his friends want him in
the race at the start. His position in
the senate gives him opportunity to
make record pleasing to the people
and if he seizes 1t and makes the most
of it he will become an important fac

ity and energy is needed in the upper
