cAnsY's PUBLIC SQUARE.

A Boone man living at Candy,
Minnesota, had a few words to say to
the Boone newspaper men that all
towns with public squares may read
to their profit The city park" at
Boone brought on the conversation.
Said ne TO the News Republican:
Up in Candy we have a park just
Like yours, rather / mean it is the same
size as yours. block square. But my
What difference. We have man
hired TO do nothing thru the summer
except care for the park. He cares for
the grass, .sprinkles the lawn. trims
the trees, plants the shrubs. flowers.
etc. and sees that they are kept up,
replaces dead grass With new sod in
fact he has orders to make the place
as attractive as possible. The result
is that Candy has park, although
only a block big. which can not be
equalled in Minnesota or Iowa for that
matter. 1t is beautiful breathing
spot and tourists passing thru compli-
ment us time after time on it. And
Candy has only 1900 people
Without doubt tourists exclaim upon
the Candy square if 1t is as the Candy
man says. Nothing attracts more COM
ment than the city square 1t Us the
countenance of the town and strangers
remark upon it as it deserves and size
up the residents and the city from its
| appearance precisely as the city man
driving thru the country sizes up and
remarks upon the farm and the farm
house and the man who owns them.
1t need not cost great deal to make
and keep a city square beautiful
AT any rate a little Minnesota town of
/ 1900 seems entirely able to do it, But
| it requires the desire and the at

nothing. He is merely q pawn in the
game. Often it Is to his profit and IN
line with his desires to favor vice but
this class Of police officer is not a pa
trolman but an underworld tinancier of
easy money with hopes and prospects
of promotion under wide open admin
istrations. 1t is safe to assume that
vicious conditions in Des Moines or
elsewhere are not the fault of the
common policeman but of his super
iors. When bootleggers flourish and
blind pigs multiply in the dry town
and vicious resorts conduct their
shameful business freely in towns big
or small when the blame is justly
placed it goes on up to the heads Of
authority where some one is paying
political debts or taking graft.
There is not the least excuse under
the present capable machinery of law
enforcement in Iowa why any town in
the state should not be free from vic
ious resorts. disorderly houses and their
kind. When the raid is supplemented
by injunctions placed upon every build :
ing used for immoral and criminal pur-
poses when city officials who favor
vice find themselves facing removal
and disgrace and when candidates for
city office find decency solid at the
polls we shall have small cause for
spasmodic raiding.
The mayor and the police commits
sioners and the chief of police are the
bullseye Hit them and you ring the
bell every time.

A MINOR ENGAGEMENT.
lAlhinn HMM


Two Italians and an American citi-
zen had a little scrap at Ward Sunday
over the European war. Dan Hartley
didn't agree with the Italians and he
got into a fight with one of them and
downed his man, but it was only for
a moment and when the Italians
buddy saw that little Italy was getting
the worst end of the fight he jumped
in and slashed Hartley with a knife
lnhicting severe wound in the side.
The combatants were separated before
any further damage was done. 1t is
the utmost folly for people residing
ON American soil TO take sides with
the nations of Europe. This country
is made up of about every national
ity on the globe and it is very evident
they wouldn't be here if they couldn't
better their condition in life. So what
is the use of having brain storms over
what our antipodes are doing.

J.pan's Int.re.t.d "Fri.ndsh;p."

Japan's ultimatum to Germany is re-
grettable from every point of view.
There is no reason even to think that
it is welcome to the British govern
ment. Great Britain does not need
Japan's help in the far east. The Ger
man bass in Kiao-Chau is isolated. The
naval and military force which it shell
tiers is negligible. Its capture can have
only the vaguest effect on the outcome
Of the struggle in Europe.
Japan is naturally eager to get into
the war and reap large dividends on a
very small expenditure. If she can
get rid of the Germans at Kiao- Chau
and either take over the concession
herself or give it back to China she
will have advanced her own interest
and satisfied one of the chief aims of
her diplomacy. Japan hopes to attain
mastery in the western Paciic-or, at
least, in the upper half of it. If she
can get rid Of one European naval

hood her problem il to that extent sim
pli1ed.
The British Japanese treaty of alli-
arce has to be strained considerably in
order to let Japan participate in the
war against Germany. The second sec
ton of the treaty says:

how? Isn't it about time something
definite comes out Of Europe?

NO MORE CHEAP TEACHERS.
BURLINGTON HaUkeyel

Scott county reports that there are
no very cheap teachers in that county.
The average for the rural schools is
perhaps 500 per month and it may go
bit beyond that. OF course, that is
no princely wage, but the salaries are
destined to further advance, and the
consolidated school is going to wipe
out the very cheap teacher in Iowa.
And then the teachers will have to get
busy on their own account and keep
SO. Just as in every other profession
the teachers ought to have something
to say regarding their income.

cost the city of Clinton SO square yard
to repair some paving on Fourth avenue

than $3.50 square yard. for there was
