because they are ashamed to have
others know. The secret ballot would
result favorably to the saloon interests.
The saloon interests know this and are
doing all in their power to secure the
change Of law; the prohibitionists
know 1t and look ahead to conditions
which will bring the amendment out
Of the closet and permit vote which
will assuredly result in re-establish-
ment Of statewide prohibition.
The Times Republican favors the pc
tition method. 1t can and does see ell
the embarrassment which the petition
carries with it, but it can see no essen
tial reason why a moral issue should
not be tried publicly. 1t does favor
at present and under present condi-
tons the county and city units over the
state as a unit of prohibition mainly
because of the variation of sentiment
on the question as between one county
and locality and another and because
of the gains in anti-liquor sentiment
have been making rapidly under the
present system and present laws. 1t Is
idle to assert that disregard Of law
and increasing lawlessness, especially
as regards the liquor question. is the
greatest proposition government has to
meet" in Iowa. The contrary is true.
Under the present laws and the pre-
vailing sentiment great gains have
been made for temperance and the
march is toward future prohibition
which shall be prohibition in fact and
not in mere legal assertion.
Iowa is not in danger Of going back
ward on the temperance question in the
long run. If there is danger it is that
Of going forward SO far that she will
need wait in warfare for certain sec
tons Of the state to catch up. The pub
lie sentiment of the state as state is
throws back upon towns and cities and
counties the saloons they have denied
place by petition. the return of state
wide prohibition may be prophesled
with confidence and under the added
powers Of enforcement given the state
the law will take on supremacy
which will astonish it's opponents. This
is a feature OF the present agitation
against petition which saloonists seem
TO have overlooked but which the strict
prohibitionists appear to have given
full consideration along with their de-
mand and hope for the establishment
Of a state consta bulary.

VOTE OR PEn1IoN7

ProhtbitionistS and liquor advocates
are agreed upon one point-that the
system Of petition and rem onstrance
upon the dry and wet question should
give way to the secret ballot. To these
are added the voices of many news
fence uncomfortable and those Of bust
ness and professional men to whom a
public stand on question which
arouses such antagonism as does the
saloon becomes excessively embarrass-
ing In a business way. The tendency
on the part of the latter classes is nat
ural and readily accounted for; the &C
ton of the prohibitionists can be at
tributed to their anxiety to further the
cause of statewide prohibition in
Iowa.
The prohibitionists reason and rea-
son we'll that the secret ballot will
Bring about the resubmission of the
amendment years before it would come
under present conditions. There is
small doubt that a secret Dallot Woulo
throw practically every town Of statut-
DRY size to the saloons: for there are
always enough names on successful sa-
bon circumstances which are there be-
cause Of church and family and social
connections which were it not for the

sent to hold the balance OF power.
There are always enough names absent

BALIIkGER AND FISHER,

Secretary F1sher proposes TO lease
coal mines to communities. He would
thave the federal government retain
full title to coal lands lease them to
cities and towns and permit the col
lective operation of the mines. In
short Secretary Fisher would not turn
1 over the great coal deposits of the
west to the capitaIistic interests able
to hire men to file claims and to buy
outright and hold the fuel supply Of
the country in their hands to be doled
out under monopoly.
Fisher followed Ballinger. Every
one knows what Ballinger desired to
do with the coal lands. Fisher called
OF the Alaska deals and has insisted
against the monopoly roundup Of all
the waterpower rights in the country.
As secretary Of the interior Fisher has
been a vastly different official from
his predecessor.
But in fact who saved these coal
fields to the people who own them and
monopolists? Give Fisher all that is
due him Of credit who gave him his
chance?
Taft held to Ballinger to the bitter
END. He backed his secretary OF the
interior in ways and by methods
which aroused the continent. Pinchot
was forced out Of his place whence he
was crying out against the looting of
the public domain. Other men were
dismissed with every effort to dis
credit and disgrace them in the at
tempt to justify Ballinger and keep
him where he could be Of most service
to those whom he desired to serve. It
was not until the country rose in re-
buke and the president foresaw fur
Their reprisal against himself that Bal
1inger was parted with most regret
fully and with fulsome expressions Of
presidential favor. Can any imagine
that Balinger would not still be secre-
tary had he not been dismissed by the
protest of the voters?
Baunger was Taft's secretary Of the
interior. Fisher also Is secretary Of the
interior but Fisher Is secretary only
because Pinchot and others raised an
toutcry which brought the actual own
ers Of coal lands and waterpowers and
public property to the defense OF their
own. There Il a vast difference be-
tween the two but 1t will be difficult
/, for the president to claim credit for
the advantage and make the claim
( good with the voters.

Pastsurization W. Inspection.

lSAllGdSO 1ScCOTu-I1 SIdIusJ
1t is expected that an attempt will be
made in the special city council meet
ing next Wednesday to have passed d
substitute ordinance for the one to be
reported by majority Of the commit
tee on health reEulative Of Chicago's
milk supply. Those who oppose pas
teurization propose that nc milk shall
be sold in the city except from farms
and dairies approved by the health
commissioner.
A majority OF the committee and the
health commissioner favor an ordi-
nance to require pasteurization Of mill
from diaries not approved. Under sucf
an ordinance the consumer could take
his choice; he could have unpasteur-
lied milk from diaries known to be
sanitary or he could buy the pasteur-
lied product Of the dairies not ap-
proved In either case the babies con-
Stunning the milk would be safeguard
ed.
To require all milk to come from ap-
proved dairies and farms would cost
the city, as the citizens milk commit
tee has shown, at least $1.2o0.oOO q
year for inspection. That expense would
be a costly burden on the taxpayers
and its expenditure is unnecessary for
health. Pasteurization guarantees free
dom from dangerous impurities and
would be comparatively inexpensive to
either dealers in milk or the city.
That the health Of the babies OF Chi
cago is directly related to the milk
supply is shown in the current health
department bulletin. In July, 1911, GO
per cent Of the milk contained less than
100000 bacteria per cubic centimeter:
in July, 1912. only 40 per cent showed
a similarly low count. There were 10
per cent more deaths OF children under
years of age in July, 1912. than in
July, 1911, notwithstanding the fact
that July Of this year had lower av-
erage temperature than July OF last
year. Pasteurization Is a simple pro-
cess that can be quickly brought into
use or the passage OF the ordinance
an important consideration, since sew
eral weeks Of warm weather may yet
be before US.
