THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

{ st. Louis Globe Democrat: Con
trary to the belief Of many Ameri.
cans, the high cost of living is felt in
other countries besides ours. It has
caused demonstrations in Vienna
winch called out the military. and
wnlch compelled the government to
proclaim martial law for the first time
since lS49 Riots for the same cause
nave recently taken place in France,
itaiy and Spain. Political leaders in
Germany say that the burdens of the
average man in that country are be
coming unbearable, and they predict
uprlslngs which may recall the insur-
rections OF 1S4S. Belgium and England
nave recently had strikes which had
at tneir base feeling by the people
mat the cost of existence was making
life intolerable.
These demonstrations in Eurone
ought to make Americans little
more reasonable in their condemna-
lion OF the conditions In their own
country. The situation of which they
complain is worldwide. Moreover,
our hardships are small compared
with those of the other peoples. Gov
ernment is less to blame here for
tnese Ills than it is elsewhere. Our
lax burdens are far lighter than are

NO PLACE FOR EXCITEMENT.

The story Is told that while the
presidential parade passed along the
street in Des Moines last Friday some
woman looking out of a third story
window started to clap her hands.
Better stop that" said person on the
street, this is no place for breaking
in like that" Then he told a story.
1t reminded him of a story Governor
Shaw was fond of telling, which a
capital city correspondent repeats in
these words:
There was colored woman who
went into church one day in one of
these modern church where the
higher criticism prevails and all is
quiet and orderly She was shown
to a seat far up in the gallery where
she was all alone. Presently she COM
menced to say Amen pretty often.
She kept on crying out and swaying
back and forth and she shouted out
her Joy. A deacon went up into the gal
lery and tapping her on the shoulder,
asked what was the matter.
20, feel SO good" she said, Use
done got religion sure
"But my good woman" protested
the deacon, this is no place to get
religion!"

Germans. Our ability to meet them is
UNNECESSARILY greater than is theirs.
The outlook for Improvement in those
conditions is much brighter in the
United States than it is in any Of the
great countries OF Europe.
One of the causes of the relatively
high cost of living is the increase in
taxation, local and national, but, as
before stated, this factor is less evil
dent here than 1t is in the old world.
Another. and far larger cause, is the
falling off in food production as CON-
pared with consumption. In all the
great countries Of the world the
growth in manufacturing is far great
er than that in agriculture. While this
tendency is irreparable in England,
Germany and the other Industrial ma
lions of Europe, it can be remedied in
the United States because Of the
large areas still open to cultivation
and to the chances for improvement
in agricultural methods. Improve.
ments are being made already. Pro.
duction per acre of wheat, corn. cot
ton and other staples is increasing.
The growth is slow, but it is continue
Gus. Scientific methods Of production
may be relied upon to bring improve.
ment in the United States, and to
avert any such outbreaks as the old
world has been witnessing recently.

Mr.. ALIENS CANDIDACY.

In thoughtful and we'll written
article reproduced in another column
of this issue Of The Gate City the
Fairfield Ledger makes formal presen-
tation of Hon. W. S. Allen of that
city for the Republican nomination
for secretary of state. The article
sets forth Mr.. Aliens qualifications
and claims at some length and makes
it very clear that he is worthy the
honor to which he aspires. In bring
ing him to the attention of Iowa Re-
publicans In this connection the Ledg-
er has rendered distinct service to
the party in the state as well as to
the gentleman himself. AS stated in
the article. Mr.. Allen is a man of the
most exemplary character as well as
lawyer of ability and citizen of
high standing, and he would bring to
the office of secretary of state talents
that would make him a most efficient
officer. The Gate City gives unquali-
fed endorsement to the Ledger's good
words and bespeaks for Mr.. Allen the
general and cordial support he de-
serves.

THE churches" said DR.. Wiley at
Kansas City-Dr. Wiley the pure
food expert-"have spoiled many good
farmers by making Of them indiffer-
ent preachers" 1t seems to the Sioux
City Journal that this may be putting
the blame on the churches to which
they are not justly entitled The Jour
nal suggests that the churches have
to put UP with such service as they
can get, and some of them have to
get along with blacksmiths. And
it rightly says further that the trou-
bic is by no means confined to the
churches.

KENYON AND cumM,Ns $40

NINfON AND CUMMiNS PART.
IN introducing President Tact ~
Fort Dodge Senator Kenyon uttered
some very significant words. AMONG
other things he said:
The administration of prasiaan.
Taft has stood above everything else
ior the enforcement Of the law against
all individuals, regardless Of wealth
or position, Or Of opinion. have
known of his work In that respect.
ana While we delight to speak Of his
predecessor, whom we all honor ana
love, whether he be fighting the
trusts in New York or the lions in
AFRICA, still when we compare the
record of these two administrations
In the enforcement of the law in i'm
partial return of the writer's record
must give the highest place to VIII
liam Howard Taft.
In the administration of his nre.
decessor there were forty-four cases
to enforce the provisions Of the Sher-
man act, in the period Of seven wears
In his administration. There have
been twenty-seven cases to enforce
that act in little less than three
years of Taft's administration and
there have been over one hundred and
fifty individuals indicted criminally.
and the first Jail sentences in the
whole history Of the Sherman act
have been secured, and behind 1t all
mas been your President"
This is a fine and deserved tribute
to the work of the President by one
who knows the administration record
from the inside and who, moreover,
is thoroughly sincere in what he says.
But 1t has significance beyond this,
to which the Iowa City Citizen prop
erly calls attention. The Citizen says
that what Senator Kenyon said is
about what Senator Cummins would
not have said under the same circum-
stances, and adds
THE utterance means that the
two Iowa senators will differ radical
ly in the coming presidential cam
paign. 1t was known that Kenyon
mad Indicated purpose to support
Taft, but his words at Fort Dodge
shows more-that he will appear as
progressive defender of the admins
tration and will run sharply counter
to the Cummins campaign for LaFol-
lette. which is based on criticism of
the President.
This is the parting of the ways
for Kenyon and Cummins"

Mr.. Bryan frankly admits that the
indiscreet remarks of his friend
Champ Clark contributed largely to
the defeat of reciprocity in Canada.
Such being the case, the Sioux City
Tribune, an independent newspaper,
suggests that Mr.. Bryan ought to rec
ognize that man given to indiscreet
remarks is no man to be nominated
Tor President by any party, and that
he quit fooling with Mr.. Clark's can
didacy. The Tribune goes on to say:
Bryan has succeeded in conveying
the widespread impression that he ia

BELIEF.


There came a woman singing down
the lane;
Her hair was gray, and yet her voice
was young
AS springs new leaves. About her
figure hung
"A tawny garment beautiful and
strange.
And as she neared me her two eyes
did seem
Pupils to pain; yet laughter was in her
mouth.
Her hands a distaff held and only
that,
mo thread or twisted strands about it
wound,
lAnd she did sing melody profound.
To point of weeping. This, in part, her
strain;
II am Belief-old Age and Youth in
one;
Proud mother to that Immortality
Men worship, ere the tree of Life de-
Gays;
MY banner is of song, of Hope de-
ferred;
My garment, invitation to the saints;
My distaff, thoughts that twist them
selves about
Into rope of Faith, may be Truth
/ cannot tell; look in these eyes and
guess;
Hear then my voice, vince at these
age-old locks
Wear thou my smile" Then did she
disappear,
Leaving me, doubter, skeptic, wonder
sensed,
Thinking of man and God, of earth
and sky,
OF limitations and the illimitable.
And as l puzzled, came her voice
once more,
Her banner urging man from out the
clod
To heights beyond: 81 am Belief, Be.
lief
may be Truth and yet cannot tell,
All full amazed, bowed my head to
earth
The while her footsteps pounded on
my heart.
