was once in d mistaken age of Jealous

IT'S the symbol of a race and a re-

ers in Des Moines to abolish the petit
ton method Of securing saloon consent.
1t should be squelched instaDter. The
petition Of consent gives antt-saloon
people a tremendous advantage. 1t
gives them all OF the men who are
afraid to have their wives see their
names on saloon petition whereas at
an election with secret ballot the
other fellow would get them. 1t would
be far better to abolish the right Of
remonstrance altogether and cut down
the period of consent to three years.
Then If saloons could secure a petition
Of consent it would be binding and
valid for three years and their invest
ment would be safe from attack during
that time. 1t would be lease from
The public with a definite term to run.
1t would be fair and would result in an
advance for the anti saloon people as
the question would be up to the voters
once every three years.
The Moon law was an advance in
temperance along practical lines. 1t
cut saloons in Marshalltown from
twenty-five to thirteen and the saloons
that were left were far more profitable
to their owners and therefore less
to violate the law. If licenses
had been boosted at the same time the
law would have been stronger still. The
thing we want in this temperance
is a scheme that will work.
The five-year renewal of consent petit
lions worked and worked for temper

worked for temperance. County OPP

renewal of consent with waiver OF
right of rem nstrance would work and

ADEFEAT FOR THEIR OWN GOOD.

amendment providing for statewide

up TO THE PRESIDENT.

Despite much criticism of the mill
tary movement which has massed co.
600 United States soldiers armed and
ready for war along the boundary OF
Mexico the proper attitude must be
that the president is in poss of
information which makes him abso-
lutely certain of his ground, 1t is well
to withhold criticism until the facts are
known.
President Taft no doubt understands
as fully as his critics that to have
moved the army TO the Mexican border,
set recruiting offices to intense activ-
ity and created a war scare without
good and unanswerable reason would
be the lminating blunder Of his ca
reer, Certainly if he were not thus
certain he would scarcely be disporting
