somewhat curious incident took place
shortly before his appointment. A depu-

here TO Rome TO represent to the holy
father that It would be advisable to
choose for their new archbishop a prelate
distinguished by nobility of birth as well
as by the usual requisites. The Pope
listened very patiently TO the petition and
then quietly reminded the bearers Of it
that the cardinals had chosen a man OF
very simple birth to be head of the uni
versal church and that even Lucca was
not so important a diocese as Rome.

The Des Moines Retail Grocers' AS
sociation and w. B. Barney, state
food and dairy commissioner, will ask
the legislature at it's coming session
to pass an act abolishing the cubic
measure and substituting the standard
of weight for measuring fruits and veg
etables. II they are successful in this,
potatoes, apples, beets, cherries,
onions and all other fruits and veget-
ables will be sold by the pound and
Eot by measure in Iowa henceforth.
Those advocating the proposed change
claim that the single standard of
weights or measures for vegetables
and fruits will be beneficial to GUS
toners. AS an illustration, 1t is
argued that when potatoes are sold by
the peck and they have big holes in
the center of them the buyer is cheat
ed to that extent. Thus, it is argued,
that if the potatoes were sold by the
pound the customer will get full
measure because the holes have no
weight, and consequently in getting
full measure Of potatoes by the pound
there is no chance for the customer
to lose out.

Anew WORDS WITH A CRITIC.

The article in Fridays issue of The
Gate City entitled "Anti-Saloon Graft
ers" has elected both warm endorse
ment and severe criticism. One of
the critics, a good friend OF this paper
and minister, by the way, objects to
the article as a whole but especial
" to the statement in the concluding
paragraph that when the cases come
up in court they should be thrown out
instanter." He says this means that
they should not be considered by the
court which would be unfair TO the
Anti-Saloon League which instigated
them II is cheerfully admitted that
the language above quoted is suscept-
ible of this Interpretation. but that was
not the thought that was in the mind
of the writer when he penned the
words in question. The idea in mind
was that if, when the cases came up
in court, it was disclosed on exam
ination that they were based entirely
on charges of a technical nature. as
Mr.. Meeks, who signed the papers
said they were, the court should re-
fuse to consider them. The language
was unfortunate in that it did not
make this idea perfectly clear.
The same critic finds fault with this
sentence: mo court should lend itself
for a moment to the aid of grafters
who thus bring worthy cause into
disrepute" AS he read the sentence
he understood The Gate City TO call
the saloon a worthy cause. 1t is
doubtful if anyone else so interpreted
the statement In preceding sen
tence the action OF the Anti-Saloon
League was referred to as ostensibly
"a movement in the interest of the
public good The connection seem
ed to make it quite clear that the good
cause referred to was the cause of
temperance, which the Anti-Saloon
League assumes to represent. Be.

THANKSGIVING.

That birds and beasts in all our land
Have found the food and drink
Which must be theirs to live;
That heat and cold has failed to make
Their lives a hopeless struggle;
And still they build their homes
And rear their young; sing songs
OF loudest praise. or gently moo
Their calm content:
That Earth has swelled with budding
green
And fruited in the gold and brown;
That Sun and Moon and Stars
Have held accustomed way, and har-
mony
Is testified by all Thy works;
That fearful scourge of war or dearth
Has left our borders free,
And debtors we to all Thy grace
Would come with deep Thanksgiving
praise.

explicitly on the subject to be mis-

kEokuKs EXPERIENCE TO DATE.

kEokUk's EXPERIENCE TO DATE.
The Muscatine Journal has a par
aeraph to the following effect:
''Anti-saloon leaguers are using
Muscatine as an example in an en-
deavor to show Keokuk that town
can be located on the river and still
be dry
The reference is to the invasion of
Keokuk week ago by representatives
of the Anti-Saloon League who spoke
from a number of local pulpits. Since
then other representative of the
same league from abroad have come
into Keokuk and asked for injunctions
against number of local saloon-keep-
ers, alleging technical violations OF
the mulct law. The experience is not
wholly new to Keokuk. A year or
so ago other representatives of the
Anti-Saloon League came here from
a number of Keokuk saloon-keepers
by the same means and disappeared
and have not been heard from since.
Not saloon was closed and not
thing done toward promoting the
cause of temperance. The foragers
were here solely for the money and
when they got that their interest in
Keokuk's moral welfare was at an
end. In view of past experience with
agents of the Anti-Saloon League
Keokuk may we'll question if the
agents from Des Moines who
inctituted proceedings here on
Thursday flast are inspired by
any higher or better mo-
tive than their predecessors from
Centerville. 1t is far from creditable
to the cause of temperance that it
should be made responsible for at
tempts to extort money through the
instrumentality of legal technicalities.

ton whether the era OF expensive food,

The Christian Science Monitor says
OF this conclusion:
1t is perfectly justifiable in view OF
the care with which the foregoing
statistics were obtained and the fact
that every effort was made to secure
uniformity in this resume of banking
conditions. The undertaking was
the second of its kind in the history

REDIsTRlcTiNe THE STATE.

Present indications are that Iowa
Will have but ten congressman
instead of eleven after March 4, 1918.
The opinion prevails that congress
will not permit the membership of the
house to exceed 400. in which event
the apportionment will be fixed at
about 225,000. This will give Iowa one
congressman less than at present, and
1t will devolve upon the legislature at
Its coming session to redistrict the
state.
AS the population of the First dis
trict is only about 10000, it will be
necessary to enlarge it's boundaries to
put it on par with the other dis
tricts in Iowa. Thus far three plans
for redistricting the state have been
proposed all OF which contemplate
adding Muscatine county from the Sec
ond district and Wapello from the
Sixth to the First. With these coun-
ties added this district would consist
of the counties of Des Moines, Henry,
Jefferson. Lee, Louisa, Muscatine,
Van Buren,. Wapello and Washington,
with population Of about $4,000. 1t
is figured that this arrangement
would leave the First district Repub-
lican. as it has always been.
Changes in the boundary Of a dis
trict are seldom desirable on account
Of the disturbance of political con-
ditions involved. But if Iowa's rep
resentation at Washington is reduced
there will be no alternative but to
consent as gracefully as possible to
the addition of one or more counties

that it was misled in its prediction
