@REp BOOK STATISTICS,

According to statistics given In the
new official register of the state the
liquor traffic Is decreasing In Iowa. Sa-
looms have decreased 1913 in number
since the last Red Book" was pub
lished eighteen towns and cities have
gone dry and now saloons are oper-
ating in but forty of the ninety-nine
counties. Practically six-tenths of the
The number Of saloons In the state had
deceased from ITO to 1912 within the
interval between publication of last
years register and the one just issued
Since the latest compilation was made
there has been still further decrease.
There is little doubt that the regime
OF law enforcement instituted by Gov
ernor Cunmins and Attorney General
Byers is responsible for the decrease
The river cities have had a falling off
in saloons because of the insistence Of
the legal department on law obser-
vance. It has come to be understood
that the state is ready to assist in the
enforcement Of its own laws when local
conditions make state interference ad-
visable. The infection of the attorney
generals office into local prosecutions
has helped; 1t will help much moro in
the year to come.
There Is no doubt that Iowa as a
whole Is opposed to the open saloon
and Is about ready and willing to at
tempt again the experiment of pro-
fibition law which Is intended to pro-
hibit. How advisable this may be is a
matter for argument but the temper
of the state is working to the prohibit
ton pitch under the stimulus of saloon
arrogance and a sense of outrage over
open and defiant violation of statutes
We may be sure that an era Of law en-
forcement Is at hand; that the new
laws will be administered with an eye
to the dereHctions Of officials who neg
iect or evade their plain duties under
The eye OF the legal department OF the
state and that the next Iowa year, book
will show a much greater and more
gratifying decrease in the number Of
yaloons.
It would be well Tor citizens to IN
aerstand however that the legislature

TIE COLLEGE FACTORY

President Mains of Iowa College,
said true word and sounded a need
ed warning when he told the National
Teachers Association that college edu-
cation Is chiefly notable for its in
effectiveness. And he added another
saying quite as true when he as
serted that college education is the
most effective method in existence for
acquainting men with the world and
making them effective agents in It,
The conclusion would be naturally
reached that neither the raw material
nor the factory are at fault but that
methods of manufacture are respon-
sible for the "inneffectiveness which
is ground for common complaint
against the colleges.
The fact is the college makes men,
strong, effective men in the world. out
of the best material, but 1t falls to
adapt itself to the commoner grades
and it spells shoddy entirely Then,
too, we are expecting too much of the
college. We fail TO sort the material
before we send K to the mill. Il is
the most common fault of the Amer
team father that he sends his son to
college in the expectation that SILK
purse will come back % him in place
of the sow's ear. / is IN American
fault to attempt u make a bishwp out
of the raw material nature intended F.
a blacksmith and Try TO turn a nsat
into a civil engineer. Another mistake
is that we do not look upon COLLEGE
training as a process OF growth. Of
preparation leading up to the ability
to learn 70 do things We assume that
when the college course is finished the
student Is ready to assume control of
any special work and astonish the
world by marvellous management and
technical knowledge of things he
Knows less about practically than
when he entered college Worst of all
the student assumes this attitude He
too often sits and waits with his
diploma in his hand. wondering why
the captains of Industry are not tear
ing the clothes off each others backs
in a mad rush to secure his services.
The college needs fixing but it isn't
ali or more than half to blame. We are
expecting too much of the schools when
we forget that they only fit and pre-
pare the seed bed; the crop comes later
and if one sows bishop seed on butcher
soil the crop is certain to be queer.
But the college factory needs reor-
ganization just the same.

WILL TAFT PUSH IT?

Congress will without doubt submit
a constitutional amendment to the sew
eral states for ratification. Whether
thru Indifference or from a feeling that
something must be done, the opponents
OF income tax legislation are joining In
the submission.
President Taft has said that the
power to raise revenue by means of
taxing incomes lis undoubtedly a
power the national government ought
TO have. 1t might be indispensable to
the nations life in great crises" If the

1t has been assumed that with con-
gress adjourned, but little would be
heard OF the amendment Unless a
campaign Is made certainly no three
fourths of the state legislatures will
ever be found to indorse It, Senator
Cummins told the senate what every
body believes, that five or six years
from now he will be able to show thai
nobody ever intended that such ar
amendment should really be adopted.
