Secretary Lanes Speech

The versatility of the man thought
likely by some observers to be President
Wilson Is choice for the first vacancy on
the Supreme bench was recently shown
in sphere outside of Jurisprudence.
Secretary Franklin X. Lane made a
speech on Flag Day that leads the New
York Evening Post to observe that cit
is not often that the hard working head
of department-and department pre-
eminently devoted to economic tasks
makes a venture so original and so sue
cessful in the domain of oratory.' In
two successive weeks recently the
sions defining and clarifying the rela-
tions between interstate railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the rights of the Commission in
naming rates. In all of these cases, says
The Evening Post, "the decisions of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
written by Franklin X. Lane, now
Secretary Of the Interior, when he was
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, have been fully sustained
and affirmed, and virtually on the same
grounds taken by Mr.. Lane in writing
the decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The Flag Day speech
was addrest to no higher tribunal than
the clerks of his department. And the
same paper observes that it contains
emo pathos and no can't Moreover,
incredible as it may seem, the very
word service is not to be found in it,
from end to end. This is the speech in

DEMOCRATS WIN
Maine ELECTION
FEATURE IS RETURN OF THE
PRooREssIvEs TO RANKS
OF REPURLIcANlsM.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 15.-The demo
cratic victory in Maine state election
yesterday was measured by the 1857
plurality by which Mayor Oakley G..
Curtis of Portland, defeated Gov. VIM.
T. Haines, republican for reelection,
according to unofficial returns from all
but thirty-seven OF the 521 cities and
towns today. All four congressman,
three republicans and one democrat
were reelected. In a vote heavier than
that cast at the last presidential cleo
ton both Haines and Curtis ran we'll
ahead Of the Taft and Wilson figures,
while the progressive vote cast for
Halbert P. Gardner, the head Of the
ticket showed a pronounced slump
from that cast for Roosevelt.
The comparative returns available
from 4S4 cities and towns give Haines,
republican, 57,662; Taft, republican,
1921.
Curtis, democrat, 61,249; Wilson
democrat, 50,451.
Gardner, progressive, 17,443; Roose-
welt, progressive, 47,904.
The total vote at hand, 136,354, ex-
|ceeded that from the same places in
1912 by 1873. The republicans show
ed an increase of 1854 against pro-
gressive loss of 3O,461. The demo
cratic gain was 1923.

SENATOR CUMMINS
TALKS AT LUNCHEON

Des Moines, Sept. 15-That the ma
lions of the world ought to disarm and
that efforts to this end ought to be
commenced by the United States was
the opinion expressed by Senator AL
bert B. Cummins, who was the speaker
at the MONDAY luncheon of the cham
Der of commerce.
Mr.. Cummins said that no ruler,
president, or legislative body ought to
have the right to declare war. The
Question Of going to war, declared the
speaker, should be submitted to vote
of the people who have to bear the ex-
|penses and burdens of the war. If the
nations disarm they will not be con.
tinually in full preparedness for war
and will not be anxious to war. If the
nations do not disarm the United
States will be forced to the necessity
of increasing Its army and navy. The
movement for the disarmament should
be commenced at once. ---

MAN IS KILLED BY
SWITCH ENGINE
LIFE CRUSHED OUT OF HENRY
PlLCHER ON TRACKS NEAR
IRON WORKS.

Henry H. Pitcher, aged So years
and living on West Mechanic street,
was almost instantly killed Monday
evening about o'clock when he step
ped in front Of Rock Island switch
engine which was backing west near
the Wapello street crossing.
When found by bystanders Mr.. Pill
cher's life was nearly extinct and he
died within a very few minutes On
examination it was found that his
chest in the region OF his heart was
severely crushed, his right arm was
nearly severed just below the elbow
and he received few bruises about
the head.
Mr.. Pitcher lived until about two
years ago on farm south of the city
just over the line in Davis county.
Since coming here he has been en-
ployed in the Ottumwa Iron works
in regular employment and for the
past few months only as extra help.
He had called at the plant Monday
afternoon to see il he would be want
ed for work this morning and had
just stepped out of the rear door of
the blacksmith shop on his way home
when the accident happened. He Is
said to have stepped onto the track
in the path of a Rock Island train
coming east. Seeing the train, he
stepped onto another track directly
in the way of the switch engine
which struck him and threw him of
roadway.
He is survived by his wife, Julia,
two children, Havilla and Hattie. The
funeral services will be held from
the residence Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock, conducted by the pastor
Of the United Brethren church. In.
terment will be made In the Shaul
cemetery.

EDUCATION.

1.-TWO men are before my minds
eye" says William T. Ellis. Zone is
a venerable Turk, whom met in a
village under the shadow of the Taur-
us mountains, in Asia Minor. He was
unframed in the schools, but he had
ripe judgment; a keen knowledge of
human nature, dignity, and reverence,
and he had won the esteem of mis-
community. The quiet, courteous and
assured way with which he carried
himself revealed the strong, wise man.
l count him educated in the essentials
of manhood, even though a ten-year
old boy in this western world knows
more about the sciences than he. The
other man at the moment in my mem
DRY is seated in an artistocratic club.
He has an honored family name,
wealth, social position, and the advan-
tages of a university education and
much travel. But he is ignorant of
life, Unbalanced in his judgments,
puerile in his thinking, and as naively
selfish as a child or a savage. Him
/ deem an uneducated man, despite
his degree. For education is the train
ing of all of ones faculties to relate
themselves sanely and efficiently to
actual life"

WHY WAIT TO PRAY?

The people Of all the warning coun-
tries of Europe are offering up their
prayers that success crown their
armies in the field. In Germany the
subjects of the kaiser ask God in his
mercy and wisdom to give them VIC
tory in a fight which they sincerely be-
lieve is for the good of civilization. In
France and England and Russia, and
Belgium and Austria and Servia, those
who acknowledge divine ruler are
petitioning that divine aid be accord
ded their SIDE Those who pray are
sincere and honestly believe that their
cause Is just and that they are asking
God to make right might.
Nevertheless it Is impossible that
both sides can be right and that both
sides can be victorious. God cannot
be expected to answer the prayers
of both factions. But he can answer
q prayer for peace and as the great
multitude of prayers float up to the
heavenly throne, doubtless the prayers
for just peace, simple peace and cessa-
ton Of war, are the ones that stand
out above the others.
In reply to a wide demand, Presi-
dent Wilson has designated a day on
which all United States will offer up
prayers for peace in Europe. The
prayers are not to be for victory for
one side or the other, but for an end
to the bloodshed that is devastating
the land and making men into beasts.
A prayer of that kind from neutral
people should reach the ear of the
ruler of the universe.
But one question arises. Why wait
till October 4, the date set in the
presidents proclamation? 1t would be
much better to start praying right
away and keep it up. Our prayers
will have as much effect right now as
they will October 4, and think of the
lives that might be saved by ending
the war three weeks earlier.

THE COST OF WAR.

During the last decade the expendi-
lures for war preparation and on ac-
count OF past wars have simply been
appalling in the United States, and in
Great Britain, Germany, France and
Japan, It does not seem to be gener-
ally known that the United States has
led in this expenditure in recent years.
The official figures show that for the
year ending June 30, 1914, the expendi-
lures of the United States for war and
on account of wars were 6S.07 per
cent of the governments. entire rev.
enue. Great Britain during the same
period spent only 37.85. per cent of her
total revenue for war preparations and
on account of past wars; Germany,
during the same period spent 55.07 per
cent of her total revenues in prepar-
ing for war; France spent 35.07 per
cent Of her revenues in getting ready
for the struggle that is now on, while
Japan spent As per cent of her rev.
enues in preparing for war.

.OANC|NG BARGE
TAKES A TRIP
DAN MOREY's PLEASURE CRAFT
GOES ON UNscHEDULED
VOYAGE DOWN RIVER.

Dan Morey's new tango ship broke
from its moorings at Rock Bluff last
night about 9 o'clock and went Float
ing Down the River" and Is now at
anchor about a mile and half east
of the Vine street bridge Mr.. Morey
and Ed Hammond after hard fight
succeeded in bringing the boat into
shore and 1t will be towed to the Mar
ket street bridge where the dances
will be given the remainder of the
season.
The craft was noticed floating past
the boat house about 10 o'clock and
an effort to stop it proved fruitless.
Mr.. Hammond called Mr.. Morey and
started in an auto to head of the
barge at Market street. The tango
ship passed over the dam and when it
went under the Market street bridge
Mr.. Hammond jumped over the rail-
ing onto the second deck and as 1t
neared the Vine street bridge he threw
a rope to Dan Morey who had reached
the bridge by this time, but the big
boat broke the rop like Irvine. About
a mile east Of the bridge large plank
was picked up from the water and
used for rudder to turn the boat into
shore. Mr.. Morey in his haste to getthe
craft under control got marooned on a
small island and spent the night here
warming himself by a fire made from
his clothing and was taken off the
reef this morning by Mr.. Hammond.
The boat with the exception of q
few boards being knocked loose and
the top of the check room torn away
when going under the Market street
bridge, is uninjured and will be ready
for use again in short time.

WHAT Is CENSORSHIP?


AS a newspaper striving under diff
ficulties of censorship and expense
which few outside of journalism ap.
preciate, to print authentic news, the
World must express it's gratitude to
the French war Office. From that
source the American press receives
day by day the only official informa-
ton that is trustworthy.
Germany, whose partisans in this
country have made many complaints
of the inaccuracy and unfairness of
the American press, has not as yet
sent single official statement as to
conditions at the front that was not
either misleading or partial. No Ger.
man reverse or check has been re.
ported from Berlin. Pleading isola.
ton when the tide Of battle was
against Germany, as at Liege, and say
ing nothing, it has been extremely vol
uble when it had success to report
or an imperial proclamation to dis.
seminate.
The virtue of the French war Of.
fee is it candor. 1t notes failures as
well as triumphs. 1t admits humilia.
ton and explains it with the same
frankness that it records victories and
reveals their probable significance
1t is honest, intelligent and resource
full. 1t knows that the truth must be
told and it tells the truth promptly
and clearly.
Both Berlin and London should take
a lesson from Paris. The Berlin
censorship is suppression. The Lon.
don censorship is fussy, stupid and al.
together exasperating.-New York
World.
