WITH THE MUFFLER CUT OUT.

How fast the world moves and
how small the notice its scorchlng
attracts is exemplitied by an incident
at Nogales. Prominent avlators
came into southern New Mexico with
three passenger aeroplane. 1t was
suspected that they were there under
contract to engage in the Mexican
war and the United States authorl-
ties confiscated the machine. NOW
news comes that the insurgents nave
stolen the machine across the boun-
Diary and it may before this have
dropped bombs to the destruction of
a federal gunboat at Guaymas. The
aviators were supplied with contact
bombs and the assault on Guaymas
has been delayed in order that the
aeroplane may make it's attempt.
Ten years ago this story would
have been contemporary referred
to as dime novel trash. Nobody
sneers at it now The general expec-
tation would be that the airship will
do the business for the .c]p!ess gun
boat. We have all of us seen too
many of these machines rise from
fair grounds or st aviation meets,
sweep out to turn and sail majestic
ally over town and country and city
not to understand the terrible po-
tentialities of the airship as mill
tary arm If the bombs hold out
the aeroplane no doubt will blow the
boat out of the water. In the mean
time and incidentally it is likely to
blow Guaymas off the map.
Mexican sailors and soldiers and
towns cringing under the shadow of
the airships and the pending shock
of dynamite dropped from the
clouds; Iowa farmers rushing along
at fifty miles an hour where their
grandfathers walked beside their OK
en-; submarines slipping like sea
monsters above the Ooze of the ocean
bed; surely Mrs. Shipton belongs in
the list of accredited prophets and
yesterday is a hundred years behind
today. The world is on straight
track with a wide open throttle and
spark advanced to its last notch.

Simpler Parcel-POst Methods.

In resembling the order that
double postage be collected in case
ordinary stamps were used on parcel
post packages, Postm
Burleson has been prompted by the
rules of common sense. Asa penalty
for not using the special stamps is
sued last January, it was excessive
and unreasonable.
There never was any good excuse
for printing a separate series of par
eel post stamps except as an aid to
tie post Office departments book
keeping, and it was not necessary
for that purpose. 1t was known that
the new branch of the postal service
would pay, for the rates under the
zone system were made higher than
need be.
The distinctive parcel post stamps
have proved nuisance and cause
for general complaint. They have
led to confusion among post Office
employees because of the unsatis-
factory designs. They have been an
obstacle to the freest use of the par
eel post.
The sooner ordinary postage
stamps are made sufficient for all
postal purposes the better it will be
for everybody concerned. The gov
eminent will be. saved money; per-
sons using the mails will be saved
time and annoyance. The expert
ment of parcel post, so long delay
ed, has been fully justified after
three months trial. To make the
government system of handling pack
ages less complicated will be to make
it more efficient and more servicable.

PESSINIISTIC VIEW.
That the lagiI

That the legislature succeeds in
squeezing $2,000,000 out of the tax
payers of Iowa in the next ten years:
That it's agents succeed in buying
the land adjoining the state capitol
building for that amount in spite OF
the way values have already jumped
up: That it is able to get all the
buildings that now occupy the big
tract removed on salvage basis:
Then what will it have?
Surrounding the state capitol, now
reckoned as one of the best in the
middle west at least, will be a vast
tract containing beautiful eyesores
in the shape of cellars, holes in the
ground, uproOted and mutilated
trees, parts of foundations and debris
of all kinds and variety. The 3d.
100000 was authorized to buy the
tract, not to improve it, and after it
is bought another big assessment
upon the taxpayers of the state will
have to be made to clean it up. That
means the hiring of landscaping en-
gineers at exorbitant salaries, the
drafting of improvement plans at a
trifing cost of say $4,000, or $780,
900, the hiring of many men and
teams and salarled inspectors and
the purchase of enormous quantities
of shrubs, trees, grass seed, flowers,
lawn ornaments, iron fences, fish for
artificial lakes, boats, and thousand
of other things that would have to
be a part of Iowa Capitol Park "
The estimates for the cost of the i'm
proving of the tract after the houses
are moved away free of charge runs
all the way from 100000 to $5,-

THE BOORISHNESS OF A STATE.

AS the records of the Japanese
controversy are disclosed it appears
that in Japan as we'll as in the
United States there is responsible
and peaceable government. Every
body knows or should knew that in
both countries there are jingoes,
political and commercial, and people
misinformed and misled.
Consideration of these facts is
what President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan asked of Hiram
Johnson and his legislature in
California Not much doubt ex-
lists that the Californians were
within their rights when they
legislated on the subject of alien
ownership of land, but rights are
one thing and wise policy and good
manners are other things.
When the administration at Wash
ington asked California to defer
legislation in the land matter pend
ing diplomatic action, it spoke for
100000 of people charged with
very serious international obliga-
tons to 2,377,O00 people charged in
that respect with no obligations at
ALL The request was made courte-
ously. The reasons why it was made
were plainly stated. The refusal of
Hiram Johnson and his legislature to
heed it was a startling combination
of boorishness, cheap politics and in
difference to national responsible
tiles.
Nothing in the California situa-
ton called for hasty action. Jap
anese population there is declining
Japanese land-ownership is less than
per cent. Except in the heated
imaginations of demagogues, no cri.
sis of any kind presented itself. Yet

KU-KLUXED.

Intimidation is the order OF the
day.
A national administration at
Washington commissioned by the
people to check monopoly and prlvl'
iege is ku-kluxed by big business.
A United States senate with a
democratic majority of six pledged to
tax reduction is ku-kluxed by bully
ing representatives of sugar ana
wool.
A governor of New York pledged
like everybody else in the state, to
direct primaries is ku-kluXed by two
arrogant BOSSES
A district attorney in New York
who in the pursuit of his duties has
prosecuted criminal policemen is ku-
kluxed by an irritated and malicious
mayor.
An independent press which has
made war upon police corruption,
with no interest to serve but that OF
the people; is ku-kluxed by the same
resentful officer.
@ The city of Patterson, N. j., whose
authorities have attempted to en-
force the law and promote settle
ment of labor dispute, is ku-kluXed
by revolutionary rovers and wreck
ers who fight law and labor as we'll
as capital. There are others.
Big business threatens that II
president and congress legislate in
behalf of the people, wages Will be
cut, factories closed and manufacture
ing plants removed to Europe.
Representatives of the tariff-fat-
tened sugar and wool rings threaten
certain senators that if they vote
high taxes it will not be safe for
them to return to their homes.
The big New York bosses threaten
their henchmen with defeat and
political exile ii they assist the gov
ernor in the matter of direct prl-
maries.
Irritated by the exposure OF con-
spiracy, blackmail and graft in the
police department the mayor at
tempts to intimidate the district at
torney and the press by inslnuatlon,
SANDER and yituperation.
Recognized in Patterson, n. j., as
enemies of those who work as well
as those who hire, the leaders Of the
I. w. w. threaten to wipe the town
off the map" So it goes.
The main question involved IN
these conditions is not the intent OF
the ku-kluxers, plain as that may be.
The intent is to substitute the will
of individuals and groups for that Of
city, state and nation. The import
ant question is whether the people
are to take sides in the various con-
troversies, and if so, under what
standard they are to align them
selves. If those who defend public
rights in these instances are not to
be overborne, they must have the
support of courageous and selfre-
speeding men, irrespective of party.
With ku-kluxers at work on every
hand, it is enough to vote once
year. There must be continuing
purpose behind the vote. 1t is not
enough to elect well-disposed public
servants. They must have backing
and encouragement in their lawful
undertakings.
Most peoples political activities
end with the closing of the polls,
which is when those of the ku-klux-
ers begin Those who would show
the true colors of American citizen

in Washington, New York, Albany
and Patterson. There is good fight

Japan's war debt is already crush
ing. The average laborer OF Japan
earning 20 cents or less a day, must
work more than one month every
year to pay his family's share of the
ST, 100000 it costs to carry Jap

average American workman, at ten
times the wage, need work but a
little over half a day to pay his
share Of the s22, 100000 interest on
the debt of the United States.
The contrast between the two ma
lions in financial resources is strlk-
ingly expressed in other terms. Our
commerce up to May | was S4,254,-
100000 in year. Japan in l9l
was S495, 100000. Japan's per
cent bonds sell below par. Her u S
are ten points below those OF New
York City. No more money could be
borrowed upon such terms in case or

believe that any Japanese statesman

COULD JAPAN MAKE WAR?

irresponsible jingoes who predict
warlike onset by Japan see only
two facts. One is that the Japanese
standing army is stronger than the
United States. The other is that
the Japanese navy is stronger than
anv sea force we now have in the
Pacific. But there are other facts
which would convict of political lun-
acy any Japanese stateman VINO
would counsel war.
