Turmoil and Disorder

/ Waterloo, Iowa.-When the Bust
ness Mems Temperance association of
Waterloo made its fight to drive the
saloons out of the city it promised
that if this was accomplished it would
see to it that the city was dry in fact
as well as in name. So far the asso-
citation has not made good. Drunk
,nness is as prevalent in Waterloo as
it was when the saloons were going
full blast. Not only is there as many
intoxicated people, but their condi-
ton is worse than formerly. Every
day from ten to fifteen people are be-
core the justice courts charged with
drunkenness. Nine out of ten admit
that they secured their liquor in Wat
g2rloo. Practically everyone states
Chat whisky is the cause Of his con-
.iision. Bootlegging is rife. drug
stores are selling liquor illegally
without doubt. The city is in a
worse condition morally than it was
before the saloons were closed
More than 500 over the required
number necessary to establish q petit
ton of consent signed such petition.
The temperance association had tenn
porarily knocked it out on TECHNICAL
ties. The people Of Waterloo are not
asking why it does not make good in
its promise to stop the illegal sale Of
liquor. If ever there was living tes-
timonial against the enforcement OF
prohibitory law where a majority OF
the sentiment is not in favor of them
II is Waterloo.

UNCLE SAM IN
COAL BUSINESS
Proposition for the Government to
Operate Some Of the Mines
In Alaska.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, May 9.That the
United States government should
operate a. number OF coal mines in
Alaska and that it should take as its
share approximately 25 percent of the
net profits of all coal development by
private lease on the public domain
in the territory, was the plan offered
by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, a
member of the territories committee
which is hearing the Alaska railroad
testimony.
He will introduce bill during the
present session, providing definite
basis for this sharing os the profits.
1T might be a good Ming for the
government to operate a few mines
for itself" he said, as a means of
checking up the cost of mining under
proper conditions. would lease the
remainder of the coal lands for terms
Of not over thirty years, no lessee to
be interested in the control of more
than 5000 acres. The books Of the
Lessee should be open to the treasury
department at all times and labor dis
putes should be arbitrated by the sec
rotary of labor. Twenty-Five percent
might be rather too high share to
be claimed by the government but
that could be determined by inquiry"

! 10 YOU know the true
. beauty of oak?

Oak is Enthusiastically an American
wood; At one time there was SO much oak
that furniture makers cheapened it by the way
they handled it. 1t was made up into ginger
broadly, snowy pieces The natural beauty Of
the wood hadn chance.
It remained for Berkey & Gay to place
oak in it's rightful position. Oak is wood
OF rare dignity and charm, when finished and
made up In manner which permits it's tint
and grain to be enjoyed.

WILL NOT MENACE
PEACE OF AMERICA
calflornia's Anti-ailen Land Owning
Bill VIII Not Cause War
With Japan.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Califor-
MAS anti-alien land owning law,
which becomes effective with the
signature Of Governor Johnson, will
not menace the peace of America
Japan has accepted. the action of Pres,
ident Wilson In sending Secretary OF
State Bryan to Sacramento in the
spirit in which the move was made.
Japan bitterly resents the action OF
California, but does not believe that
the Webb bill has the endorsemnt of
the American people. Not only that,
but the Nipponese do not believe the
bill will ever be enforced.
This was the opinion of those who
were In closest touch with the stu
alton today when 1t became known
that movement was already on foot
in California to delay actual enforce
ment Of the law until new treaty
could be negotiated with Japan, which
would cover the main features Of the
measure.
Secretary of State Bryan reported
to President Wilson the result
of his trip to the Pacific coast. He
detailed exactly what had happened
in the conferences and said that the
majority OF the legislature believed
that the measure had to be passed.
Then it is understood he told the
president that the friends OF the ad-
ministration on the coast were ready
to prevent embarrassment by forcing
referendum to the voters OF the
state on the measure.
Bryan is understood to have told
the president that situation exists
In California that must be met. There
must be check on Asiatic aggression
in certain communities. The intent
Of the legislation has the endorse
:ment Of Californians generally. but
how to work it out is the problem.
japan, 1t is understood is willing to.
concede nearly everything demanded
by the pending legislation through
the medium Of a treaty which wodld
preserve the national honor, To ne
gotiate such treaty will take tnoa
and the enforcement Of the Webb
law at this time would complicate the
situation. Il.
Under the California constitution 1t
will require about 10000 signatures
to get referendum on the law, put
Secretary Bryan was assured by lead
inc Californians that these could cas-
i,v he secured. And the referendum
would give the delay needed to frame
treaty and secure its adoption by
both nations. This will not interfere
with the court test of the constltu-
Etionality Of the Webb bill, which mas
already been planned Both metnoos
can, be utilized and it is believed mere
that both Japan and California "lll
1 accent the action as not only nonor'
able but as safeguarding the sensl'
bilities of each.
Japan has unofficially intimated
that she is willing to act with deilp-
/ GRAFTON. OF course her formal pro-
test will be presented. It VIII De ac-
lnow1edged and then will come the
conferences between Secretary Oh
state Bryan and Ambassador Chinda
At which will be decided the manner
in which the court action to deter

I is to be conducted and what part TINS
government is to play in it.

K G Potato Doughnuts

Silt three times, the -four, salt, spice and
baking Powder. Beat eggs with rotary
bcater, then still using rotary heater, grad
ually add sugar, then work in the mashed
potato with spoon and alternately add milk
and -four mixture. Make soft dough, roll
into sheet, cut into rounds, pinch hole in
the center with the finger and fry in deep fat.
Fat for frying should not be hot enough
to brown the doughnut until it has risen.
When the doughnut is dropped into the fat
it sinks to the bottom. As soon as it comes
up it should be turned and turned number
of times while cooking. This recipe is ex-
cellcnt as they do not take the fat in frying
and will stay moist for days.

The New Courses.

There is now a commercial course
In the high school in which bookkeep-
ing, business correspondence and 9th
er training is given In commercial
subjects and these courses will be
extended as well as stenography and
typewriting added. The business
course will cover the entire four
years with other high school subjects
elective.
The normal course will be under
the direction of the school manage
ment and will be conducted by the
teachers of the high school. The leg
islature viii give $3.50 year to those
schools putting in this course and is
designed to give those desiring to
teach an opportunity for normal train
ing. After July I, 1915, every teach
er in Iowa will be required to have
six months experience or three
months normal training before teach.
ing in the schools and there is now a
great shortage in teachers for coun-
try schools.
It is thought that the addition of
stenography, type#riting and the nor
NAL course will require the addition
of but one teacher.
All Of the janitors with the excep.
ton of those at the Mckinley and
high schools were reelected and these
appointments were left to the board
members having charge of those
schools.
