other. It 10 idle to assert that it Is un-
fair because it is public. The fairest
thing in the world is the most public
proposition.
At present the Cosson law against
bawdy houses is being attacked as to
its cinstitutionality in the interests Of
woman accused of conducting such a
house and of the persons who own the
property where such Illicit business
is alleged to have been conducted. The
mulct and it's petition system is be.
ing attacked by injudicious friends OF
the temperance movement. Both these
laws have delivered and are deliv ering
temperance goods. 1t is easy enough
to see why the attorneys for a woman
thus accused should assail the in
tegrity of the Cosson act. 1t is not 50
easy to understand why those whose
cause has pro1ted greatly under rne
petition system should endeavor to de-
stroy their own best weapon.
Temperance people should consider
very seriously the welfare of their
cause before they fall in with the
anti mulct movement. Admitted that
it is more or less illogical, that it lacks
much that we desire it contains A
clause which Is moving saloons out Of
Iowa And that is the first and long
est step to be made.

IOWA IS GOING DRY FAST.

The Waterloo saloon case has come
is concerned and Waterloo stays dry.
The district Judge in announcing his
decision advised the saloonists that
there was but one other resort for
them, the supreme court. And the SUI
2reme court, having already decided
practically the same points in other
q long and expensive spell Of litigation
and the plaintiffs are getting tired Of
putting money into it. 1t is said that
each saloonist in Waterloo has spent
from $4,000 to $4,000 fighting. With
the funds which the interests back O.
the saloons have expended and which
expended by individuals, the struggle
has been q costly one. No wonder they
are tired.
It is time to give It up. II no other
business will do the man who desires
to run q saloon he should move on, like
the buffalo and the Indian and the
prairie chicken. 1t is the same thing
over again. The day Of the saloon is
over in Iowa. Civilization is putting it
out of business as civilization removed
the buffalo. The farms well titled have
left no place for the wild animal to
lair in, Its jungles are needed for use
full purposes. The predacious had to
new environment. 1t Is one of the pre-
datory, wasteful elements that COM
pleter civilization refuses place in its
scheme Of social protection. Water
loo. Marshalltown, Oskaloosa, OF
tumwa. all are simply illustrations OF
q new power discovered by their peo-
pc, the power Of self protection. They
are the leaven which will leaven the
whole lump. Given ordinary common
sense and self restraint among the
temperance forces the cities of the
state will be dry within ten years. II
erratic judgment and unbalanced pur-
posefulness arep ermitted to lead, the
movement so well under way is not
unlikely to met serious setback.
It will be well for temperance well
Wishers to remember that all this has
been accomplished under the mule:

policy has been put into effect. In a
crude way it involves advance appli-
cation of the rediscounting principle
that Is to be worked out thru regional
reserve banks in the administration
currency plan. It will be especially
appreciated in the west, where bonds
suitable for security purposes are not
extensively held.
The action OF Secretary McAdoo in
coming to the relief Of the interior
banks with treasury loans will be in
terpreted as indicating an abandon
ment of hope that any considerable
amount of emergency currency viii
be issued under the Aldrich- Vreeland
act. When a probability Of a currency
stringency during crop moving was
first considered few weeks ago. Sec
rotary McAdoo issued q statement
calling attention to the fact that
blank bank notes to the amount OF
$500, 100000 were lying in the treasury
vaults, subject to call by the banks
under the provisions OF the Aldrich-
Vreeland act. The secretary's state
rnent really was intended as an invi-
tation to the banks to get busy and
issue emergency notes instead OF de-
pending on the government for help
from the treasury. The secretary's
hint, 1t appears, was not taken as
signal for action by any of the banks,
altho the reminder that SO large
volume Of emergency currency might
be floated was reassuring to the pub
lie. For one reason or another the
banks do not like the Aldrtch-Vree-
land system. They regard Its machin.
cry as too cumbrous and its graduated
interest penalty as too severe. At any
rate, It is apparent that the secretary
Of the treasury would not have taken
the present relief measure If he saw
any sign Of currency expansion un0e1
the Aldrich- vreeland plan.
The western and southern banks are
not to be made present or the use
OF Uncle Sans cash. They are to pay
per cent interest for it and repay
| the loans within stipulated period
of months.

IDes Moines Register and Leaderl
On Aug. 20 and 81. under direction
OF Governor Major. between 200 900
and 100000 Misourians with mule
teams will work the roads,"
They Will be the biggest and mos,
stupendous two working days that this
country ever has known" said the gov
ernor at Kansas City yesterday, ac-
cording to the dispatches.
A fair rate for a man and team for
days work is SO. If 100000 are on
the roads in Missouri Aug 90 and p.
s1,500.00O will thus be contributed to
the cause.
But, rain falling the next day will
undo all the work in few hours and
the 81, 100000, SO far as road building
goes, will have been wasted. Missouri
can not afford to be improvident on
that scale; however. she is not unique
IN her loyalty to the idea that tempo
rary roads are good enough.
1t is impossible to escape the i'm
preston that the significant thing
about the Missouri bee" is embodied
in Governor Majors final expression
at Kansas City, yesterday. The whole
country is watching our efforts" said
he.
