pass the senate and receive the sig
nature Of the chief executive as soon
as he can get his hands upon 1t. And
when all that has been accomplished
the repeal will be generally approved
as a square deal and the keeping of
language and intent of the treaty pro-
vision granting equal privilege to
ships og all nations Is plain and I'M
mistakable. It meant what it said to
Great Britain and other nations. 1t is
scarcely within the proprieties Of ordi-
nary business methods to attempt to
made and certified without the agree
ment of the parties concerned and in
interest If the United States desires
to cancel the contract there is another
way out besides reputation.
The president has made great
fight for the bill which is another way
Of saying that he has protected the
pledged word of the nation as he
understands it. And in this connection
1t is well to take note that Wilson
is by type and training and character
among the men most fitted to decide as
to the passing OF the word of the nation
and its integrity in keeping it. The
opposition to him rs not on entirely
satisfactory ground. Too much of it
is Of the political character which
seeks to get the man in power in
hole. When the matter is stripped
down to the bare question 1t becomes
one of keeping contract or going the
right way to avoid it.
The proposition put up by the Ameri
can minister who interviewed Lord
Palmerston in order to urge the treaty
as reported by the minister himself was
that. The United States sought no
exclusive privilege or preferential right
Of any kind in regard to the proposed
communication and their sincere wish.

to see it dedicated to the common use

terms and a footing of perfect equality

if they could, obtain any exclusive right
Of privilege in great highway which
naturally belonged to all mankind"
The treaty followed these lines. 1t was
a bargain 1t is now a question of
keeping it or welching.
When the public comes to under
stand this fully and has made itself ac-
quainted with the history of the treaty
it is safe to prophesy that the position
of Wilson on the exemption will be ap-
proved

A NEEDLESS WORRY.

The Chicago Tribune is much exer-
cised over the resignation of President
Bowman and its effect upon Iowa. 1t
says that:
Iowa's action upon President Bow
mans resignation is a test of Iowa s
intelligence and Americanism.
There are signs that Illinois may
have to meet this test. Wherefore we
are Watching events in our neighbor

its wealth and inclusive prosperity, Of
its schools and colleges.
If Americanism is dying in such a
state it is the worst of omens.
The STrihune need not worry over
decaying Iowa Americanism. It will
not come to that in Iowa at any rate
over the question of the board Of
education. Its fears that Americanism is
dying in this state are entirely I'M
founded. Moreover any anxiety that
it may feel regarding the ability Of
Iowa to settle her own difficulties sat
isfactoriiy may be allayed. The Incl
dent of Bowman and the board is only
an incident And in the end it will
prove to be a help rather than hind
rance.

exhibit such over anxiety regarding the
plight Of Americanism in Iowa. Iowans

having the same experience as the
Iowa subscriber. I am now down about
four feet from the top in our second
silo, and am now running onto white
moldy spots. These are fully three
feet from the sides Of the silo, and 1t
looks as tho the sides would spoil first
II the cause is air getting to 1t. There

Your subscriber evidently had too
many men In his silo to tramp the sill
age. Ho tramped it too hard around
the outside and not enough in the CEN
ter. AS result, the silage could not
settle enough to force the air out OF
the center. The bept wey is to have
one man to use the distributor and
one to tramp the silage.
The secret III filling silo Is to
have it packed alike al, over 70 that
when 1t settles, 1t will settle alike all
over, leaving no air spaces to cause
mold. Usually it isn't tramped enough

evidently tramped that part too solid.

have given us their experiences be-
lieve it is caused by too little tramp
ing in the center, while others think
the corn was put up in too dry con-
dition. The remedies would be to add
more water If the corn Is too dry, and
to pay more attention to tramping Ill
the center while the s1lo was being
filed.
Referring to the inquiry OF your
Iowa subscriber, ! can report exactly
the same trouble with spoiled silage.
The silage Is good and sweet for sew
eral feet from the wall, but Is spoiled
in the center, containing red and
white mold. Last year there were sew
eral of my cattle sick, and / lost one
of my best pure bred cows. The local
veterinarian pronounced the trouble
forage poisoning, caused by eating the
moldy silage. This year I have been
very careful to sort out the spoiled
silage, and have had no trouble. March
/, when within five doors OF the bot
tom, found good silage all over the
silo. The silage got better as got
deeper into the silo.
Like the Iowa subscriber, I was very
particular about tramping. and this
probably accounts for the good silage
around the outside. While I am not
! sure, I think the whole trouble Is in
putting the silage in too dry and not
getting It wet down enough. c. H. w"

1t called attention TO the truth that
movements for public welfare and pub

individuals who spend their time and
money boosting them. grow by accre-
ton of other citizens until finally Off
bal boards and authorities move under
the pressure.
The newspaper referred to had the
common idea that selected officials
chosen for public service should be
public leaders. That public improve
ments should be born in the minds Of
publis boards and authorities and sub
mitted to the approval of the electorate
instead Of forcing their way past the
doors Of council chambers.
When men who have been elected to
office prefer learership and purpose
above reelection to office the official
board and the public authority" will
have taken on a new and greater dig
nifty However, it is we'll to understand
that every town that held an election
this year and will hold one the next
made and will make its own choice Of
public servants. If the city council Is
not representative of the most useful
and most progressive and most capable
the town affords it is usually the fault

run for office if we were not so much

one The issue rests altogether too
often, not on the abilities and service

prejudice and ancient grudges and

He merely set forth the fact that our
system or taxing had not only been
crude, but such laws as were on the
statutes has been ignored The pres
emit executive council was confronted
with 4 mandate from the LEGISLATURE In
the form of law requiring them to
perform a specific duty in the matter
Of fixing values for taxing purposes.
They were confronted with an order
from the district court Of Polk county
requiring that they obey this law. the
members Of the council had taken
solemn oath to obey these laws. with
painstaking care they proceeded TO
perform this duty just as fairly as
they knew how.
No unprejudiced nearer who listened
to Governor Clarke's earnest and fair
presentation Of this case left the room
with the slightest doubt in his mind
as to his honesty and integrity OF pur-
pose. Indeed, 1t was very clear to All
who heard this magnificent address
that Iowa has a man in the governors
Office who measures up to its dignities
and responsibilities in the fullest ana
completest sense. Never before has the
governor of this or any other state
taken a firmer or more manly stand for
rigid and fair adherence to the letter
and spirit of the law. The men COM
posing the executive council present
an absolutely clear and clean record.
They did everything that was human
ly possible to secure Justice In the mat
ter Of taxes. The governor frankly
says taxes are higher because Of the
increased valuations. He says levies
should be reduced to meet these con-
ditions He gives the facts fairly and
without the slightest fear or favor.
Governor Clarke is not a petty poll
Itician. He Is a big. brainy, broad
minded gentleman. He scorns to dc
petty or small things to gain political
prestige He is going to do right as
God reveals the light to him and trust
the people of the state. George w
Clarke is real governor. He has been
tested in the most crucial way and has
been found wanting in no material
sense. His visit to Council Blufs

large number OF people the fact tina,
