No Free-Trade In Vege-
tables.

The retail grocers of Des Molnes
are not IN favor OF a free-trade IN
vegetables They want the nan who
comes to town for the purpose of sell
ing radishes, lettuce, onions, potatoes,
butter, etc, to pay license, If he
shall go around peddling. These men
have paid license before. An ordi-
nance has been introduced at tue city
Ehall abolshing the license fee.
Now, tgura lively speaking, there Is
blood on the moon.
The retail grocers say that unless
the hucksters are charged license,
their business will be ruined.
1t is question of free-trade over
again. Esery man is in favor of free
trade until it comes to his own JOB or
occupation. Then he becomes pro-
tectionist.
We have no doubt that the retail
grocers of Des Mtipes are IN favor of
! putting wool and woolea goods, also
cotton goods On the free list. The
| retail grocers Of Des Moines are not
manufacturing either wooden or cotton
goods. They want those articles as
cheaply as possible.
But the retail grocers of Des Moines
want pro ection from the producers
of vegetables, who want to deal
directly with the consumer.
We ale rot going to argue Tie
justice or Injustice of this luea
license proposition, We just wait t.
show that in business matters the
world is selfish, that every man i
determined to take care OF himself.
Suppose that the 6 eoers stop long
enough to consider the pending
propositions to admit all the vege
tables and farm products of Canaoa
INTO the American cities, just across
the line from Canada. There are
about IA 600, 90 Ameri an mouths IL
American cities on the CANADIAN
border. Tbty are Learei TO toe
Canadian vegetables thaL 70 the
American. How would the farmers
on the American side eDj y tavi1g
the Canadian supply his customers
with vegetables. This is the SAINT

Carriage Paints. Phone 628, Street No. III w. Main
Agreement Reached.

The western rail roads and the
nglDeers have reached a settlement
of their differences and the danger
OF strike among the engineers h s
alown over. By the terms of settle
ment the engineers will receive an
increase in wages of abou, a, cents
per day. Next come the trainmen.
They are asking for substantial
increase in wages.
We are glad to see these differ
ences between the management of
the roads and the employees taken
up and discussed in a concliatory
manner and agreements reached
without appealing to the ruinous
strike methods SO long in vogue.
Tne str ks, whether successful or
not, means great loss to both sides
of the controversy if continued any
length of time.
The modern method of conferen.
ces and mutual concessions with q
feeling of equitable fairness on both
sides can be relied on to settle these
differences without loss to either
party or destruction of business.

Common Sense Decision.
(KaDsas Ony Journal) J

Acting Judge Clark in the muri-
cipal court administered a deserved
r. ouke to a man who swore re-
pea'edly at his wife 10 The presence
of their children. A. fine of $,oo
was assessed against him.. and the
offender will spend sume time in the
@oIk house unless other officials
come to his rescue. This sort Of
decision is much more pertinent
and effective than one declaring
that man had a perfect right t,
swear in his own home to his hearts
content, regardless of the demorSl T.
ing influence Of such practice uut n
his children and lis tend.ncy
disgust any woman of moral sensi.
bilities.
This is only one sordid litle ca e
among scores occurring every day,
put the rebuke is wholesome and
timely. Men should be made 10
realize that while their home is their
castle and they are the head of the
house, etc., there are others in the
castle who have rights which must
be respected Decision S such as
this bolster up popular respect for
the courts, which is none too prs
found at present. Freak decisi, n
and interpretations of the law hi We
served to lessen the respect in which
courts should be held. The average,
everyday, sensible citizen who is
mot judge does not believe it is
proper for man 20 swear persist
Iently before his family, and that is
he best law that can be put upon
1.-The statute books for it proceeds
nom the very fountain source OF all
law,
! There are too many judges who
imagine they are profound only
when they give AN original or tech.
meal twist to the meaning of the
law. The judges who solemnly
decide that wives have q right to
search their husbands pockets, that
the husband is THE "boss," that the
law compels button sewing obedi-
ence from the wife, and all tl..e
sort OF thing, may get laugh III
court or a parsgi aph in the press,
but they are beliItling the dignity OF
the law. The more common sense
there can be injected into the inte;-
probation of domestic relations the
better. The man who makes a
barroom out of his home ought to
60 to the work house.

Nrocne Drug Store Wall Paper House, Barn and Carriag
Education and the Boys.
Mail and Breeze J

The other night l listened to an
interesting paper by Mr.. Thomas
who has charge of the school for
apprenticed boys who are learning
various trades needed by the Santa
Fe road. The boys are taken in as
early as I6 years Of age and given a
schooling in practical mechanics for
four years, getting apprentice wages
while they are learning the trade.
Mr.. Thomas says that he has
found out that high school graduates
are often poor material for appren
tices. They seem to lmbbe the
idea with their education tha. to
work In grimy machine shop is
something of disgrace.
If that is true than we are wasting
good deal of money on what may
be higher education. Ifit's true
that the average high school grad
uate gets the notion in his head he
ought to live without toll then his
education is more liable to be a
damage than benefit to him. The
same thing is true of a college
graduate. If he e-comes out with his
diploma coupled with the notion
that there is anything humiliating
in putting on suit CT working
clothes and getting grease on his
hands and smear Of the same on
his nose then his college education
has been a damage 10 him.
Not that he will necessarily have
to get down and work in the grease
and dirt, but he ought to come out
with the feeling that the man who
does the necessary work of the
world is entitled to more honor
than the man who is poor stick in
some SO called learned profession.
So far as dollars are concerned
the good master machanic makes
more than the average doctor,
lawyer orpreacher and he is practi-
cally certain of job for the supply
of good mechanics is not equal to
the demand, While great many
lawyers and doctors and a few
preachers make big money, the
the average earnings of the average
doctor lawyer or preacher amount
to less than a thousand dollars a
year. The average clerk also gets
less than thousand dollars per
annum and considerably less. AT
the same time their expenses are
greater than the expenses of the
mechanic,
OF course the whole object OF
education is not simply to fit the
boys and girls for making a living.
1t is worth a good deal to learn
culture, refinement, the love
books-but after all, if education
unfits the boy for work he has been
damaged good deal more than he
has been benefited.

Tawney and the Standing

tTopeka Capitah)

Congressman Tawney is s'aho
n.,t.r ON some things, but he ala a
timely service when he exposeu III
Congress the movement to lnh'c' Oh
the country big standing army,
.nino the old world in the worst OF
;ts system. Mr.. Tawney referred 10
orr isolation which is great asset
and 70 the wealth and population
and na,riotism in this country as
we'll as the fact that we happen TO
he the first food producing nation
III considerations of the welghtes

from suddenly plunglng INTO wal
with the United States. For a
century. when the nation was al
comparative weakling, ana ~i'"ou'
standing army, it set an example
worthy of republic to the resi- 0'
the world. In late years there has
gown up rivalry with Germany
in the size and frightful cost OF
naval establishment, and there is
sentiment within the army for a
similar expansion of the standing
army,
This republic is losing its standing
with the Democratic peoples OF the
entire globe, when IT turns TOWARDS
militarism at period mus eeVe'oP
nent il can afford much better thar
in the past to stand on its "sP'enolo
isolation, its agriculture, Its grea'
reserve powers and resources ano

inpumerable "war scares" OF inc
last century was al ridiculous as the
frequently heard warnings from
army officers of the danger OF a''acS
some morning by Japan, unless II Is
the conviction expressed by lhese
men that one of these days "we
must fight Germany" Ii there Is
nation ON earth equal in military
resources to the United States 1t Is
the ,Germans, who have no con
.ceivable reason for engaging wal
with this couhtry. But Japan Is
perhaps the least prepared nation
todav for war. The outlet it has
needed has been found in Korea.
And if Japan should look longingly
on the Philippines the time is not
likely to come when those lsiahoS

the United States, even though tha'
war would be successful to the
Japanese. Congressman Tawney is
a believer in the twentieth century
idea of limitation OF armaments,
the .dev vtlopment of International
arbitration and the 6nal establish
ment of principles and courts ol
International justice. In that grea'
movement this republic should be
the foremost champion in the world
