IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
Noting that there is a fear in many
localities in Iowa that the school
teachers will go on strike for higher
wages. the Grundy Democrat says:
1.-THE fear comes principally from those
localities where teachers are grossly
uiiderpaid and where those who pay
them know It, If nothing short of a
strike will give the teacher what she
earns there ought to be teachers
strike. There are many school districts
in Iowa that pay less than 5000 q
year to their school teacher, The time
that she puts in to build the fire and
to sweep and dust the room is nearly
worth that. Out in Wyoming and
Montana where much of the land is
not worth SO cents an acre school
teachers get double the pay that Is
given them in many school districts in
Iowa, where land can't be bought for
800 an acre that is assessed at fifty"
The Ironton Ledger thinks: ut is
possible for Judge Hutchinson to be-
come candidate for congress, but
not prbable that he will. The judge
is entirely acceptable on the bench"
continues the Ledger, "but should he
have congressional aspirations he will
stir up a political opposition hard to
overcome and the Judge is too long
headed for that. 1t is very doubtful
whether even Sioux county would
do much for him and it is we'll
known what support he would re-
ceive from O'Brien, Lyon and Ply
mouth"
There is no reason why Colonel
Young should not be strong advo-
cate of tariff revision at this time,"
comments the Usage Press, "a few
years ago LATE was the 'loudest kind
OF a tariff ripper and is probably just
returning to his first love-
Much good money is unwisely ex-
pended by we'll meaning, but mistaken
people," observes the Eldora Ledger.
"Our idea Of a good citizen is man
who takes pride in his home town:
pays his honest debts; speaks well Of
his neighbors; reads The George News
and won't squeeze every twenty five
cent piece until the scream Of the eagle
can be heard all over the nation"
sums up the George News.
'If any paper outside Of Des Moines
had said year ago the mean things

patriotic sheets would have denounc-
ed & the publication as slanderous
against Des Moines," suggests the VAL

eff the attempted application of the
Arttnan theory in the Waterloo case
should be successful it would mean
that Iowa would have to put up per-
manently with the moral and legal
chaos which prevailed during the
statewide experiment with prohibition
in this state declares the Sioux City
Journal Nobody who had any ex-
perience in conmunitfes which did
not want prohibition in those days,
least OF ali no sincere friend Of tenn
perance, will feel that anything would
Be gained by repeating that expert
ence, with no hope OF ever mitigating
by law its unwholesome features"
i"There is not a state paper published
IN Des Moines," says the Ida Grove
Pioneer. They stand for Des Moines
