Iowa still on Deck.

Burlington Hawk Eye: The more
the election returns are stud/d the
more creditably Iowa looms up. While
other Republican states have strayed
away, Iowa elects its entire Republi-
can ticket and all but one congress
man-holding the same strength in
the next as in the present congress.
Both houses OF the legislature are Re-
publican, and while other states have
been losing Republican United States
senalorships, Iowa will fill the pres
ent vacancy by electing Republican.
With this handsome political showing,
and with member in the cabinet
whom the whole nation honors and
loves for the good work he has achiev-
ed in the great department Of agri.
culture Iowa enters the new period
of American politics with a pardon
able degree of pride and satisfaction
Iowa is still on deck.

TO PuNl3H WIFE pEsERrERs.

Keokuk had recently a CAGE of wife
desertion that puzzled the courts not
a little as to the best disposition to
be made of it. Othe. communities in
the state have had like experiences.
The law works we'll in great many
cases, but, as in the case here in
Keokuk, it does not reach certain
class of men who have been ordered
by the court to pay alimony or main
tenance for the support of their chill
dren. but who laugh at the imperfec-
ton of the law and chuckle over their
ability to shirk the responsibility OF
providing for their children or sup
plying the wants of an injured wife.
The situation was thus described by
Representatives Elect F. S. Shankland
of Des Moines in .ecent newspaper
interview:
.In cases where the wife is granted
divorce from worthless and vicious
husband, the court usually enters
Judgment against the defendant for
alimony and makes an order directing
] the father to pay certain sum OF
money each week for the mainten-
ance of the small children.
! "In nearly every instance this order
4 is ignored and the worthless fatfer
H never pays a dollar for the support of
/ his dependent and destitute children.
1 All charity workers know that in
many instances these children become
burden upon society. Fortunately
! there are but few such cases in the
country or small towns, a large per.
centage of them being found in the
cities.
'If the wife is entitled to divorce
from the man who should be her pro
/ tector. she is entitled to alimony- II
the father is an unfit person to have
the custody of his children. they
should be given to their mother ant
if he refuses to furnish them witt
the necessaries of life, he should be
compelled to support them
4 AS a means to this end Mr.. Shank
I land suggested that the next legisla
ture make 1t contempt of court FOL
a man wilfully to ignore an order o
court to pay alimony or maintenance
for the support of his children. Sucl
is the law in Illinois, Michigan ant
many other states, and there is NJ
apparent reason why it should not b.
the law in Iowa.

Burnino Up the Earth.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: a company
at Fertile is now selling peat at $40
per ton. 1t has 435 acres of bog and
the peat is from to 40 feet in depth,
and is very fine quality for burning
purposes and great gas producer.
That looks like pretty fine bunch of
money that has lain unused, and that
is going to make the man who saw
the opportunity very wealthy, There
seems little sense in the Iowan going
to Alaska or elsewhere. For he who
finds nothing in Iowa is doubly sure
to find nothing in Alaska, or any.
where else under the sun.

Mprint the News"

ANY yorth-a-cent editor has pride
in printing the news"-in telling ms
readers about the events OF the world
that have in them human interest
and significance. 1t is the perpetual
anxiety OF the alert editor that his
news columns should reflect the
world for the period between Is
sues"
For news value Is a mighty thing
the memorable scale on which is
weighed the Importance OF the news
paper. When an issue of a neWspa'
per weighs light" in news-vNue. tha'
issue is a sorry misfortune Tor the
publishers of the paper.
There should never be dull issue
of a newspaper-for there has never
been a dull day in the world; never
a day without its plethora of events
that mean things to men and women
who think and feel. So the editor
must be an interpreter, and he must
see and value the human appeal IN al
news events.
In the Classified Advertising col
umns there is a never-Iailing news
interest" that takes care OF itself
These little ads are, almost all o.
them. slightly yelled news items
They are clues to phases OF the init
mate life of the people. To those &C
customed to reading and answering
them they mean much that is not ful
" obvious in the usual, simple phases
OF the want ad."
You may always find news value
in these little ads-and often, sur
prising compensation for your worl
in looking for it!'

In nearly all of the manufacturing
and mining states and especially in
the large Industrial centers the
Socialist party has increased it's vot-
ing strength SO as to attract general
attention from the public. Foremost
in popular interest is the election OF
the first Socialis. congressman in
the history of the country, namely,
Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee, where
the Socialist candidates for county Of
fees were all elected by large major
tiles. Added to this, the Wisconsin
Socialists have elected thirteen mem
bers of the legislature, one senator
and twelve assemblymen frotn Mil
waukee county. In this campaign
Berger was pitted against the in
surgent Republican, Cochems, and 6
Democrat, Carney. There wasn't very
much choice, but of the variety offer
ed the voters managed to choose the
worst.

The description of machine invent
ed in France, which turns wheat into
dough directly from the thresher. is
given by the current American Miller.
The main feature of the process is the
passage of the washed kernel OF
wheat through large screw turning
loosely in case on whose inner sur
face is screw thread running in the
opposite direction. This operates so
as to pulverize the wheat after 1t has
been mixed with the tepid water, a
pint to pound, sailed and allowed to
stand six hours. Yeast is then added
and the mass is ground or mixed in,
to q smooth paste by the machine,
the dough escaping in the form of a
continuous roll, properly kneaded and
ready for the oven.

1t was George AIDE who claimed re.
Gently that the increase of population
in the Indiana town named after him
was greater than that of any other
place in the country. 1t started with
a station agent. He got married
which made an increase of Zoe per
cent. Then a maiden aunt came to
reside with him which made an In
crease of 200 per cent. Then came
the first born and that made 800 per
cent. Then hired girl which
swelled the population to 400 per cent
Most of the gains in votes reported
by the Socialists are on the same
basis of reckoning.

Senator Young.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
The Register and Leader joins In
hearty congratulations to Senator
Young. 1t is going to be little
hard to change from colonel to SEN
ator, but he, being man of peace,
will undoubtedly insist on his civil
rather than his military title. AS the
law is cited not even legislative
deadlock can prolong his term be-
yond the coming congressional ses-
sion, but there is this to redeem the
situation, the coming session is to be
one of the most important and most
interesting in the history of the SEN
ate. While the colonel cannot be
classed with veterans of the party
who were commended to the atten-
ton of the goyernor-General Dodge
and the rest-still the governor is
to be congratulated on naming man
who will be heard from in Washing
ton in the four months of his service.
If the Register and Leader were
coaching the colonel for that service
it would have him begin at once on
a speech for the good of the order
that would leave the senate wonder
ing whether Iowa was an enexhausti-
BILE field of oratory. The colonel will
extend the hospitality of his position
to Iowa with cordial good will
during his brief tenure that will
make them feel they might have done
worse, as indeed they might.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: Govern
or Carroll yesterday appointed Lafay
cite Young, of Des Moines, United
States senator to fill the seat vacated
by the death of Jonathan P. Dolliver
We wish to congratulate both Mr.
Young and Governor Carroll The
office has been honorably and WORTH
ly bestowed. Among other things
Mr.. Young will be the first man to
reach the United States senate who is
native of Iowa All our senators
have been importations from other
states, including Senator Cummins
and Dolliver.
Mr., Young is still on the right side
of three score years. He has been ar
editor and speaker all his life il
Iowa. He is able and he has knowl
edge. He is thoroughly familiar witt
national politics and knows the mer
in national affairs. He will be able
to take the place of Dolliver and t.
fill it creditably from the moment h,
takes the oath of office. He is no
as great a speaker as Mr.. Dolliver
but next to the late Mr.. Dolliver HI
is easily the ranking orator of tn
state That counts for something II
legislative body like the senate
Mr. Young's presence in the senat
will make for continued strength i
that body and also for harmony i
Iowa. He is a man of such genia
qualities that it Is very. likely tina
all Republicans can unite in support
ing him, now that harmony speeche
have become somewhat in style agar
There can be nothing said agains
the manner in which Mr.. Carroll pei
formed the duty that devolved upo
him.

The percent basis of representation
is 1s4,1s2. The First district, it will
be noted, falls considerably below
this figure. There is some talk that
congress may substitute 225,000 as the
basis Of representation. If this is
done it will be all the more necessary
for the Legislature elected last Tues
day to redistrict the state The law
provides that the counties composing
any district must be contiguous. How
to figure out the new districts pre-
sents an interesting problem.
