We are getting about as much intelli-

that their oil industries would be ruin
ed by Mexican competition. Official
statistics Snow the following after
the passage of the bill: Mexico sold
this country 1000 gallons Of oil, valued
at 1921, while in the same period the
United States sold Mexico 27,554.5S1
gallons valued at $1.1s+,3ss. Mexico
simply did not have the oil to sell and
United States did.
Would not the same result follow
the adoption Of Canadian reciprocity!
Would We not sell OUT products In
much large: quantity to Canada than
Canada would sell the United States?

Every attempt that is made to get
the boy or young man to save dollar
or fraction Of that amount every
week in Mason City real estate or in
the savings banks plan is real applied
religion" says the Mason City Globe
Gazette. The habit Of frugality is the
one great need in the American youth
Of today"
Noting that in New York they are
now talking OF working the abandoned
farms with convicts," the Cedar Rapids
Republican can see that that move
ment ought to make the abandoned
farms still more undesirable. Penal
colonies are not in line with progress
sive and contented farming"
The Upper Des Moines Republican
can distinguish but little difference
between the brutality of the average
prize fight and the attempt Of higl
school students to do athletic stunts
which they are totally unfit to perfor n.
and which attempt often requires sew
eral months Of care in order to recover
from the strenuous efforts put forth"
Referring to postal savings banks the
Clinton Herald says "Unquestionab bly,
there is field for such banks in fieldc
where there are d number of smaller
wage earners and where the savings
bank idea has not been fully developed.
and it is probable that the greatest
success will attend the postal banks in
such communities. In places like the
majority of the larger Iowa cities,
where the savings bank has been de-
veloped, and where the people have
very generally learned the saving habit.
there is not so much room"
IF 1t were not for the fact that the
interests of the people demand the
complete exposure OF the deviltry in
connection with the election Of Lori
mer, the constant haInmering away on
the case would be very montonous,'
explains the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
"Just how seriously the oil trust was
hurt by the supreme court decision may
