The government at Washington is
worried lest the revenues for the
present year will fall greatly below
expenditures. The income tax will
yield from s75,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000, yet the reduction in tariff
duties promises to curtail receipts to
an alarming extent.

Some of the democratic politicians
of the state are beginning to shy
at Hon. John T. Hamilton's claim to
-partisanship. They fear that
Mr.. Hamilton may really mean what
he says and that if elected governor
he may try to put some of his new
tangled notions into practice. If he
does that what will become of the
nice, fat, juicy plums the governor
will have to hand out to friends?
Surely he will not be so everlasting
ly non-partisan that he can't tell the
difference between a hungry demo-
crat and a hungry republican? That
would be simply fierce and the loyal
democrat would feel scandalized. If
the Hon. John wants to spike the
solid democratic vote it would be a
good thing for him to send a spec
ial communication to the faithful,
explaining that the non-partisan
CUFF is for campaign purposes only.

People of the United States are
in no position to say which power
or which ruler is the more respon.
sible for the terrible war now in
progress in Europe. The individ'
ual American may have desire fol
the success of this or that side, but
such desire is not based upon accur'
ate knowledge of conditions. Sur
face indications are often mislead
ing, as the general public cannot
know the underlying causes. 1t il
but natural, however, for the aver
age American to be a partisan, but
it is we'll for one to hold his OWL
counsel in times like this. Presi'
dent Wilson gave the country goot
advice when he urged the advisa
bility of saying nothing and doine
nothing that would arouse resent
ment among any class of our natur.
allied citizens. Not that we should
hesitate to give our moral support
to the side that deserves it, but be-
cause of the difficulty of determin-
ing which side is really in the right.

The entire nation, in fact the en-
tire civilized world, will sympathize
with President Wilson in the loss of

honors showered upon her distin-
guished husband.

The war correspondents are COM
ing in for much criticism, it being
declared that their reports do not
tally with each other. Possibly not,
but the correspondents come as near
agreeing as the officials and the
news of the correspondents is just
as reliable as that coming from "of-
fetal sources It is noticeable that
the German government takes a
very different view from the French
government on engagements between
the warning armies. In times like
this it is absolutely impossible for
correspondents or anyone else to
give accurate news all of the time.
The correspondents are probably do
ing the best they can and as gen.
eral average that is as good as any
body could do. The correspondent
who purposely colors reports would
not remain long on the job. Give
the news gatherers credit for doing
well. They cannot be absolutely
correct. They must rely in some in
stances upon reports that are not
confirmed and that later on prove to
be groundless or gross exaggerations.
People who take the Kaiser Of
Germany for a. spoiled child or who
think he lacks in courage, ability or
character may come to realize their
mistake. There has been disposition
to try to belittle the ruler of the
German empire by comparing him
with the late Count Bismarck. Bis
mark was one of the towering intel
lectual giants of his day and was
accredited with being the ablest
statesman in Europe. When Kaiser
Wilhelm assembled the throne he diff
fered with Bismark in a number of
things and the result was that Bis
mark retired from active participa-
ton in governmental affairs. The
Kaiser was DUBBED an upstart and it
was predicted that he would prove a
failure. But time has not vindicat-
ed that judgment and the world is
now coming to regard the Kaiser as
a man of genius. The German army
may not win in the present war, but
the world is already taking diff
ferent view of the man at the head
and he is coming to be looked upon
as the domineering force of the en-

One cannot but admire the re-
markable courage exhibited by Bel
gian soldiers in the present conflict.
Belgium is small country, having
a population of but 100000 and
her standing army numbers only
$4,000 men, yet she is putting up
one of the gamiest fights in the his
tory of the world. That Germany
was prepared for the attack is ap-
parent from the expedition with
which her army entered Belgium.

The Creston American says it is
certainly time we had a democrat on
the supreme bench.-Fort Dodge
Chronicle.
And yet the republican legislature
of Iowa and the republican COVER
nor of the state enacted a law to
make the supreme court non-par-
tisan. 1t is quite evident, however,
that the democrats are going to do
all in their power to defeat the pur-
poses of the non-partisan law by a
united attempt to land democrat
upon the supreme bench. 1t is to
be hoped the next legislature of the
state will repeal that law, which is
non-partisan in name only.
