MOTHERS CONGRESSES.

A mothers congress is to meet at
Des Moines this week. A mothers
congress is an important gathering.
The difficulty is that most women who
are actually in the business of mother
ing a family of four or five husky boys
and lively girls haven't time to go
They are so extremely busy of morn
ings getting the children off to school
With whole clothes and clean faces and
preparing against the o'clock on
slaught upon the cupboard that they
can't find time 10 get together and
theorze. It's practical business this
taking care of four or five children
well or sick
But the mothers congress will be
we'll attended nevertheless A great
number Of women will be present who
have never figured as a factor in the
census reports, but who have spent
long days and nights devoid of ease on
the problem Of other peoples young
ones. There will be sprinkling of
schoolma'ams. those foster mothers Of
The nation, and some actual mothers of
real children will be present. These
last two classes give the con sress its
importance.
The mothers congress. however
lacking it may be in some respects, is
a. manifestation Of true mother interest
in the children, the mother bears in
the face of death and lavishes her life
upon. It is the pressure OF the deep
mother love underneath all the world
affairs The mother interest in her
children never fails. It subordinates
even business to the welfare of the
children Given control the mothers Of
the nation would sweep off the face
of the earth in tn. rage Of motherhood
nine-tenths Of the wolves which prey
upon childhood and which fathers con-
done because of business profit. Note
there are no fathers congresses.
The mothers congress has begun al
the wrong end Of organization Every
city and town and township should
have a mothers congress. 1t should
meet monthly FOR the discussion Of the
mothers duty and consideration of
local affairs and conditions which bear
upon childhood 1t would be Of greater
importance and productive Of higher
standards Of citizenship and Of future
citizens than any commercial club can
ever be. It's influence would become
overwhelming II it were sincere. fear
less and essentially Of the mother
spirit. A state congress Of representa-
tives from such organizations would
find the eyes Of legislatures upon its
deliberations.
But in all candor why should the
entire burden Of the child outside Of
fod and clothes and q reof to shelter
under be cast upon motherhood? Why
rot fathers congress?

SMOKING ON STREET CARS.

The president of the Metropolitan
Railroad Company OF Kansas City has
issued an order banishing from the
street cars the soothing pipe and cigar
and the sinking cigarette. Those who
insist upon smoking as they ride will
way for orders are to eject and leave
by the wayside all who refuse to obey
the order Innumera BILE complaints
from women mainly all said to be
responsible for the order. Women pay
many more nickels than the men who
insist on smoking while in transit.
President Evans believes their money
ought to talk.
In Kansas City the front platform
was used by smokers. But suppose
there were no front platform and that
the women whose protest has been
needed had been forced to push thru
a cloud of smoke and thread their way
thru a platform crowded with men
by physical force and in physical jux-
deposition so close as 10 constitute an
offense against modesty. How long
would the women Of Kansas City and
the president of the Metropolitan have
stood for that sort of thing?
Unless he may have a compartment
to himself the smoker has no justified
place on the street car. While there
are seats and standing room on the in
side. the platform approach should not
be crowded with men. The wonen's
money Is as good elsewhere as in
Kansas City.

THE SALOON IN JONES COUNTY

Monticello Express,l

The saloons are drag upon the stand
ing and prosperity Of any community.
The argument that they are desirable
from a commercial standpoint Is a
fallacy. 1t is poor proposition in poll
teal economy that predicates prosper
ity upon the withdrawal of thousands
of dollars from community for the
enrichment of the brewers and dis
tillers, while the wives of those who
frequent the saloons have less to spend
with tradesmen for the necessities OF
life. As a moral element they have no
standing. As the breeders Of things
undesirable they have a standing that
can best be told by sorrowing wives,
neglected children and heart broken
parents. Had the saloons been less
greedy they might now expect more
signatures to their petitions than they
will receive

self government" which means that in
any town that wants saloons and
gambling and prostitution they shall
rave it regardless OF what the good
people OF the country outside might
think or what the state Of Iowa might
think. They are trying to get the state
to legalize saloons in every little
town where a majority might favor
them, but if they can't get the saloons
they want to destroy The means of en-
forcing the laws so that towns that

WHOM POLICEMEN FEAR.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,.

lCedar Rapids Republican,.
The city of Cedar Rapids entered in
to contract With the state when it
received its charter, 10 enforce the laws
of the state within its prescribed area.
That includes the liquor laws as well
as other laws.
But the police department still stands
in fear of few DULLES who habitually
sell liquors contrary to law. The police
force. somehow or other. wants to stand
in with those fellows. They think 1t is
manly not to interfere with a man who
sells liquors behind q drug store coun-
ter and they imagine II is ignoble to in
form on man when he keeps his place
open on Sundays.
They will spend half day chasing a
man whose rear light has gone out on
an automobile and they will parade the
fact II they arrest a man VINO has TAX
en- chicken which does not belong to
him, They will spend days In pursu-
ing a petty thief But when they see
a man selling booze in pop bottles In
drug store on a public holiday. they
turn their eyes in the other way and
imagine they have done q noble thing.
What is 1t that makes the liquor
business so sacred in the eyes OF the
police department? Do they imagine
that the liquor law violators represent
public sentiment or that they have
votes? The time has come for such a
rotten misinterpretation Of the duties
Of a police department to come to an
end. They are in their places to en-
force all the laws And II they will not
do it then the state viii eventually
force q constabulary on the people and
that will be the worst travesty on To-
cal self government ever indicted on q
people. 1t is one thing or the other.

their investment and labor. Mr.. Wal
! lace is probably correct in his version
of what he said. The opposition OF his
| paper to the raise of railroad rates and
| its efforts TO bring about an honest
assessment Of railway property for
taxation is sufficiently explanatory of
the ferceness of the assault upon him
by newspapers close to the monopolis-
tic interests. He offered an opening
and took d swift return which must
have Jared him some.
But there will be serious question of
his actual statement, Most farmers
will agree with him as most business
men would agree with a speaker who
might allege that the business man
rarelq gets all the deserts Of his
acumen and industry. However the
farmer wouldn't take much stock in
the latter assertion. Neither will the
man who buys farm products concur
readily in Mr.. Wallace's assertion.

BACK TO THE FARM.

Hampton (nTOUlCleI.
The back to the farm" slogan is the
right dope generally speaking. for there
are many people in the cities who
would do much latter in the right place
in the country than where they are.
Don't get an idea however. that the
farm Is a place OF recreation and idle
ness II you expect to make success.
On the other hand. 1t is a place OF
work. Work is really what people
most need. Work out in the open un-
der the sky in the crisp air of the frosty
morning. That is the tonic which IL
good and which would build up many
city people who live too fast and sleep
in overheated houses.
Back to the farm is all right if you
go to the right farm and go with some
common sense and capital Help in
the country Is scarce. because most far
mers map out more than the hired man
should do. Getting up at four in the
morning and hitting it up all day un-
til eight or nine at night is not likely
to appeal to those who are already on
the farm nor 10 the man who longs to
80. Shorter hours and more headwork
is needed on most every farm. Country
help is getting scarce just because the
hours are shorter in the city and
wages are more enticing 1t is all
spent again in living. but even so many
people would rather have it that way
than to work sixteen hours day.
