TIFF CORRECT PROPORTIONS.

The Moon law was very definitely up
held by the supreme court yesterday, Il
says the law means as it reads that
with the expiration Of the genera! col-
sent period saloons shall be limited to
one to 1000 population. AS this period
in many counties and cities OF the state
expired after the law became OF force
it is estimated that the decision OF the
court will close about 800 booze parlors
in Iowa within the next three years. A
number of Iowa cities, notably Burllng-
ton. Clinton, Council Bluffs, Davenport
and Sioux City will be Immediately re-
lieved Of a large number OF saloons
If a saloon is a good thing for 1,O0o
people why is it such a fierce PROPOSE
ton for 700? If it is an agent of pow
erty and crime and disease among 800
people why isn't it an active agency
for evil among 1000? If an ounce Of
poison would kill five people what
would It do to ten?
The Moon law is all right as far as
II goes. It helps. Perhaps the next
step may limit the poverty factory 20
one to 10000 population That would
help more. But the Marshalltown way
is the wise way. In Marshalltown the
proportion IS no saloons to $4,000 pop
ulation- Come in the rest Of you Iowa
cities. the water Is fine.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE TREATY.

President Taft's abrogation Of the
Russian treaty is not we'll received by
the Russian government. result which
was to have been expected, but dis
cussion of prospective or possible war
over the abrogation is utter nonsense.
TIE United States would eat Russia
alive in case she declared war against
this country and Russia very well
knows it. In abrogating the treaty the
president simply followed the dictation
Of congress and the sentiment and de-
mand OF the country at large. He Is
not to be accused Of playing politics
by acting as the instrument Of popular
will. The senate mas done well in de-
Gliding to modify the harshness OF the
house resolution. There Is no occasion
for quarrel or loud talk. But abro-
eating that treaty here which Russia
had suspended there is only plain
Justice to a large class of our own peo-
pie and maintainance Of the national
dignity and honor.
Even If serious trouble should even
tuate the grounds Of action justify the
United States. There is as much Of
national honor and dignity in the per-
son Of each American citizen as in
every American warship. He walks
under the flag wherever he goes. Black
or white, Jew or Methodist. railway
magnate or section hand, his citizen
ship should assure his rights.
Ninety-Ave out Of 100 Americans are
in favor of abrogation. President Taft,
however, deserves no criticism nor can
claim particular praise for his part
In 1t.

GOOSE AND GANDER.


Manchester retailers are planning
an organization TO be a branch of the
state organization. OF course, the or
eanization may become a source Of no
little benefit TO the members, and no
body will blame them for getting to-
gether, and for working for their own
interests. Everybody in the country
or almost everybody has become a
member Of some sort Of an organiza-
ton from which he expects to reap
some sort Of benefit. and nobody takes
exception thereto. With the laboring
man. however, who has nothing to sell
but his labor 1t seems to be different.
There are actually a considerable num-
Der Of people in this Aeenntry. who
claim the right to combine with others
for the improvement ofi1heiF condk-
ton. but who Indignantly protest
against the worker who claims that
same right for himself. The new state
association of Iowa retailers Is making
handsome growth and promises TO
get some results by and by.

DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY.
lSioux City Journal,

ISlouN lily JltAAAi.J
The democratic leaders in the house
may not be playing politics to suit Col
onel Bryan. but they are moving with
speed and skill that challenge the adj
miration Of case hardened practical
politicians.
BY sending the Sherwood pension
bin thru the house with whiz the
doxy democrats have infrinEed on
time honored republican copyright.
The republicans have always placed
pension legislation on their side or
the popularity score. They had been
figuring on putting thru some sort
Of moderate increase at the present
session in time to make the usual
bid for the old soldier vote next year.
But the democratic strategists IN tho
house have beaten the republicans tc
1t. They have shot thru. with the re-
publicans merely helping. about such
a bill as the veterans have been ask
ing. It is a more liberal bill than con-
servative republicans had contem-
plated. And the republicans are unable
to figure out any scheme for counter
acting the advantage thus gained.
The republican senate may pass the
bill or block it. II It is blocked the
republicans will have earned the en-
nifty of the old soldiera- If 1t is passed
the republican president viii have to
sign or veto it. II he signs. the ground
has been laid for a claim that he does
no, really approve It. but signed re-
luctantly because political expediency
dictated when the democrats sent Il
up to him. II the president vetoes the
bill, the democrats WIN have done what
they could for the old soldiers and the
failure to get them anything viii have
to be charged to the republican presi-
dent. OF course the republican senate
might pass a more liberal pension bill
than the one sent over from the house,
and the republican president might
sign it. IN that case the republicans
might be criticised for extravaganza IN
giving the old soldiers more than they
asked or wanted. while the democrats
could claim credit for a pension policy
combining liberality to the old soldiers
with due regard for the public treas
ury. They might stand to make more
capital along that line than by depend
Ing on the gratitude Of the old soldiers
alone.

THE sNOwLEsS CHRISTMAS.
[Wil Chamberlain in Sioux City Jour-


Altho Christ was born in a country
Of but slight snowfall. and most Of the
pictures Of the nativity depict bare
fields Of camel trails, nevertheless
snow is pretty thoroughly associated
with the more common ideas OF Christ
mas In the realm of child stories re-
lating to the season. Santa Claus
without sleighing is wellnigh
curiosity. OF course the matter OF
snow, or no snow, is mainly one OF
locality. or rather latitude. Christmas
is fact in the tropics. where snow
is a rare visitor, as we'll as in ermine

and frigid zones we crown 1t with
snow. while in the torrid zone its
emblem is the eternal rose.
