NO ONE IN SIGr17

The Sioux City Journal is in the
dumps Aldrich is to pass. Cannon is
passing NO one is in sight who can
fill the retiring leaders shoes" A voice
of fearful lanentation pierces the clam
orous traffic of Douglous street, Sioux
demnition bow vows because Cannon
has been given his hat and Aldrich
has said he must be going. And when
these have gone the clock stops. After
them the deluge.
1t is astonishing that the world has
gone on as it has since the records Of
history began. Every age and almost
every hour has had its great or power
full men and those who lived in the
shadow of their grandeur or profited by
their power have foreseen calamity and
cataclysm in their passing. But the
greatest and most powerful have passed
in a day nor has the sun stood still or
the activities of human kind been
largely disturbed. Even truly great
men leave small dints where they have
stood on the world. The passing of
Cannons and Aldriches leaves scarcely
a mark in the dust. For neither is a
great man; neither is a good man:
neither is a statesman but the tool of
selfshness, jimmy in the hands of
political cracksnen. They will be
missed by those who have used them
as a burglar misses tool of excep-
tiona temper and adapta billy. They
will also be missed by the public, but
it will be with satisfaction. 1t will be
a good lonesome.
1t might be suggested to the Journal
that senatorial leadership under the
new deal may come to Iowa. At least
the Journal, anxious as it naturally
must be to see distinction and leader
ship fall to the state should give its
powerful aid to that purpose.

THE WIDOWS OF LECLAiRE,

II an informant of the Tim es-Repuo-
lican is correct in his statenlent-and
there is no reason to question mis- &C
curacy for his boyhood was passed IN
LeC1aire and his relatives still reside
there-the little village Of LeClaire
Iowa. is honored by the residence there
of more than twenty widows Of vet
Grams of the civil war and the nation
dishonored by the fact that these
women have been forced to support
themselves in their old. age without
federal aid. According to the informant
the husbands OF these old women failed
to apply for pensions. They died and
their widows have never remarked.
They have found it hard TO prove that
their husbands died of diseases con-
tracted in the service. Their appica-
lions have been denied and they have
struggled on as best they could, fight
ing the battle OF life alone. And to-
day when a liberal policy seeks to re-
pay somewhat of the obligation a ma
ton owes to the men who saved it
these old women sit uncared for and
unnoted in their decrepritude and their
poverty.
The men Of LeClaire met the call OF
the nation like patriots. The river vii
lage gave its quota and rounded up the
measure OF its patriotism. Two Tegi-
rnents were recruited along the river
banks from LeClaire. Davenport. and
the river landings. To these LeClaire
gave her proportion. And these old
women survive the men who offered
thus freely their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honor to the flag
1t is a mark of high distinction for
the little town by the Mississippi that
it holds and cares for the women whose
husbands were men and patriots and
who have since found no others to
equal those they lost but have never
forgotten.
1t is a noble picture: Twenty five
women with memories that are built
upon patriotism, who gave all and have
received nothing. Compared TO the
great fortunes and the millionaire fam
lilies grown upon the profits Of great
war and its sacrifice the cottages in
LeClaire shine like temples And
in the reflection of that light the ne
elect which leaves them in their pow
erty and old age is utterly ignoble.
When special interests hold the ear
of congress while the appeal Of these
women fails on deaf ears then the les
sons of patriotism fail of their higher
teaching.
Twenty-Five old women, my good
masters, twenty-five women, and and
poor. who in the flush of youth and love
gave their own to the flag; who waited
thru four bloody years watching the
death lists and the roster OF the
wounded: who are waiting now, in the
shadow of eternity for the governm en'
they helped save to remember them.

GARsT's CANDIDACY.
rFarnhamyille Index.1

Ex-Governor Garst has announced
his candidacy for governor at the COM
ing primaries. Without going into the
merits of his candidacy it may as well
be considered that he has perfect
right to seek the nomination. II the
people want Carroll they will say so;
if they don't they ought to have
chance to say so. No man ought to
be afraid to trust his candidacy to the
people. If they don't want him he
ought not to want to run.
Scr far as the second term theory is
concerned. that is all bluff. The man
who is at the head of the Carroll or
ganization, Frank d. Johnson, was
himself turned down by his party after
one term. Was that a verdict of fall
ure or incompetency? And the man
nominated in his place. Francis M.
Drake, was displaced after one term by
that high priest of standpattism, Les
lie NJ. Shaw. Was Shaw a traitor to
party to aspire to a nomination at that
time?
Let the candidates go before the peo-
pie on their merits and the party abide
by the decision of the primaries. Can
anyone find any fault in that?

BOSLEY'S GROUND HOG.
CC[aJraa S-;.;c1

The old-fashioned ground hog story
about Feb. 3 is no hoax at all. A Jesup
man claims that farmer residing near
that place can prove that 1t isn't. This
farmer found a ground hog on his
premises some time ago ana also dis
covered the den in which the animal
made his home. He decided to watch
and see if his groundhogship came out
on Feb. 2 as has been claimed. Early
in the winter when the snow came he
stuck a pole up near the ground hogs
residence so he would not lose track
of the exact location. On the night of
Feb / he visited the place and found
no sign that the hog had attempted to
get out from beneath the snow drifts.
On the night of Feb. ground hog
day" he again visited the spot and
what was his surprise to find that the
hog had been much in evidence. He
had dug out of his winter quarters.
throwing out a peck or so of dirt and
sticks. etc, SO that there YVES no doubt
that he had been on the job The ami
NAL has also been seen about the win
ter quarters at various times since, it
is said.

ted on 1t. Read the story OF the early
apostles They were always being put
into prisons. To be arrested was
daily experience. "They counted not
their lives dear unto them"
Is is go today? Not often. The
reason is that preaching has lost mucn
of its militant note. Those apostles
were men Of beautiful character. They
were not fighters naturally. They were
gentle and sweet of disposition. How,
then. do they appear as men who an
tagonized the people of Jerusalem and
other cities, 80 that these citizens We're
filled with anger against them? the
answer is simple. The gospel which
the APOSTLES preached rebuked the
wrong conditions Of society and In
sisted on the allegiance to Christ as
the supreme head Of the church. They
insisted that men should live Christi
life at whatever cost.
Whenever read in these days some
strong outspoken sermon Of live man
with red blood in him, in which ne
does not hesitate to give clear can
for public or private virtue, 1 am
thrilled and strengthened. l know ne
is true to mis- coIIvics:cns and ms call.
ing. He may be very 1oyable man
in his home and with his friends, but
his heart is so stirred by irreligion, by
the shame of life, by pretense In the
church and out of,it, by the stalking
forth of wickedness in unrebuked
boldness. that he can not be true to MS
Lord or himself IL he keep still.
