Oppose Joint Pastor Plan.

Zion LutheranS of Port Byron pre-
fer not to act with the Emanuel Luth-
Grams of Walker Station toward calling
joint pastor They are well satisfied
with the present arrangement of
preaching every third Sunday by one
of the seminary students from Angus
tana, whom they pay Sc for each ser
mon. The Port Byronites feel they
can hardly afford the change to more
frequent services and the expense of
calling a pastor. even though he be
called Jointly with some other church.
and the invitation by Emanuel Luth-
eran members to consider this matter
has been declined by them.

that as a people we are fond Of fraud

That trade fraud Is prevalent In
America seems to be as much the fault
of the consumer as the manufacturer.

WHEN ARE GOVERNORS OUT OF pLAcE7

Because Of yelled criticism by the
next governor of Iowa should be a man
who would be content with being gov
ernor without trying to tell congress-
men what to do, spirited reply has
been made by tho Register and Leader
This Des Moines newspaper thinks
shat the people "have responded rather
cordially to the inspiration Of the rad
Zeal leadership Of the western govern
ors recognizing something Roose-
veltian in them and the Times is given
60 understand that neither this year
nor next will the time be ripe for "a
reaction against the western leadership
which has fortified the president in his
determination to effect reform in COR
poration management and which has
stirred congress to action"
What the Register and Leader says
Is all very true. The present promise
OF reform in corporate abuses could
never have come about had not the
presidents hands been upheld by lead
ers somewhere. 1t would have been
all right and perhaps more proper for
congressman to have done the work but
where were the congressman who
would do it? Had it not been for the
courage and ability Of a few western
r-ovarnors lilta r,,p,p,fps opd Van Cno+
who, the Register and Leader says,
forced the merger issue on the presi-
Elent," and LaFollette, to whose bitter
war with corporations Is largely due
The urgency Of the railway ISSUE" the
president could never have found a
following sufficient to justify his going
forward with these reforms. These
governors stirred public opinion, then
came the magazine articles by Stef-
fens, Tarbel,' White and Lewis, which
were a more potent force in shaping
public opinion on these issues than any
direct effort Of the press has ever
been. 1t would be we'll for the nation
the Rooseveltian stripe. The people
will never resent his leadership in ma
tional affairs, especially when his adj
ninistration of the states executive
affairs has been such as to defy criti-
cism either from friend or foe. And who
is there who would dare contend that
Governor Cummins has neglected any
Of the states business?
