Ii WAR CONES.

The great war still halts, as the
crest of wave seems to pause be-
fore topping over in a shower of
spray. But that the war wave will
sink back without breaking seems al
most impossible. If those who have
the power to call it back had likewise
the wit and conscience to do so, they
never would have started it. The
chances are that within few hours,
perhaps before night, the work of de-
struction will begin.
If this grim forecast is justified,
let no man forget or misinterpret the
cause. If war comes, it will come
because the Austrian government
forced it on a reluctant continent
and because the German emperor
permitted his ally to do this terrible
thing. 1t will come because the
Hapsburg family thinks more Of its
unnatural dominion over unwilling
subjects than it does of peace and
prosperity. 1t will come because ma
tional policies throughout large
part Of Europe are determined by the
ambitious and whims of royalty and
it's advisers, instead of by the wishes
and interests of the people.
There can be no permanent peace
no parliament of man, while arbitrary
government continues in any cOnsid-
cradle part of the world.-ChicagC
Journal.

Ponce de Leon Failed;
His Prize Is Found

Ponce de Leon, the daring explorer
searched among the swamps OF F!ori-

They have found it. His remedy,
composed of healing vegetable oils
from France, has indeed given them
back the health of youth.

We predict the election of the en-
tire democratic state ticket and base
our predictions on first, the Willful
extravaganza of the present state adj
ministration, which increased the or
binary expense of the state over two
and one-half millions of dollars with
out showing one cents worth of per-
manent Improvements and without
the application of one little, measley
red penny to the reduction of the
states Indebtedness; second, on ac-
count of an increase of about $780,
600 in the interest bearing debt of
the state; third, on the general dis
satisfaction of the people with the ad-
ministration on account of the in
creased taxation, and lastly on ac-
count of the strong personal follow
ing of Judge Lee and Editor Rowley
and the detection of some % per
cent of the republican voters to the
progressive c au se Washington
Democrat.

DAVE BRANT ON MIR. HAMILTON.

1t is not good politics to charge
that John T. Hamilton is running for
governor in the interests of any
body. Whenever some cheap, speak
ing liar wants to stab somebody he
matches up some interest" and nails
up a sign. Mr.. Hamilton has lived
in Cedar Rapids over 40 years and
anybody who knows him is we'll
aware of the fact that he is too indie
pendent, too self-reliant and too
manly to be eligible to anybody's tag
The best definition we have ever seen
of Mr.. Hamilton comes from that
sterling man and loyal republican,
John Cownie, who closed a tribute to
Mr.. Hamilton with the words: Ham
ilton is Good Goods" Mr.. Hamilton
served six years in the Iowa legisla-
ture He was recognized as one OF
the leaders in supporting Governor
Larrabee in his great work of getting
laws for railway control. Both times
he was a candidate for representative
he was opposed by all the power OF
the railway machine of Cedar Rapids,
headed by Judge Hubbard, but the
business men and farmers stood by
him and he was elected. In the dead
lock session Of 1890, Mr.. Hamilton
was the speaker, elected as a compro-
mise. 1t was his we'll known ability
and fairness that won him the demo
cratic nomination for speaker, and it
was this which contributed largely to
giving him the vote when the COM
promise was effected.
We have know Mr.. Hamilton for
thirty-five years and we voted for
him twice for the legislature because
we wanted a man in the Legislature
who was sound in the then issue, the
railway question. He was elected to
congress Immediately after being in
the legislature, largely because he
had made a splendid record in the
legislature He stood with the peo-
pie and the people stood by him.
1t would clear the situation very
much for the leaders who speak for
Governor Clarke to admit that Mr..
Hamilton, in public record and pri-
vate life is unassalable. If they would
do that many friends of Mr.. Hamil-
ton will not be placed in position
where they may be misunderstood by
having to defend him against false
accusations.
Just now when extravaganza is
running riot in Iowa, when taxation
is unnecessarily high it is not un-
pleasant to many to turn to the posi-
bility that man like Mr.. Hamilton,
noted for his careful administration
of public business when on the state
board of control, as we'll as when he
was in the legislature, and think of
the desirability of having him for
governor.
If we are to have a campaign of
low, dirty personalities, such as has
been started upon Mr.. Hamilton, and
defense of legislative and admins
trative extravaganza thrown in,
there will be rush to the support
of Mr.. Hamilton that will be the
sensation of Iowa politics. The peo-
pie of Iowa are not in a humor tc
be trifled with.-Iowa City Daily Re-
publican.

EXPENSIVE STATE ADMINlSTRA
TION.

The state treasurer is making pub
lie mighty good democratic campaign
thunder. Not that he wants to do SO,
but he has to publish the statistics of
his department and figures, properly
reported, won't lie.
His report shows that expenses
have increased tremendously in the
last two years. For the two year
period which ended June 80, 1912
the state spent $9,232,7o4.20 for gen.
eral expenses. For the two year end.
ing June 80, 1914, the expenses had
increased to $11,S31,396.O2, or ST..
598,641.82 more than for the pre-
vious corresponding period. State of.
ficials declare that this report will
have an effect on the lawmakers tt
bring about economy and curb the
extravagant tendencies.
The increased cost of government
is due to the acts of the general as
sembly appropriating funds for the
various divisions of the state work
The running expenses do not include
accounts such as capitol extension
agricultural extension and other in
dependent funds.
The receipts of the state for the bi
ennial period ending June 80, 1912
were $9,2I0,924.S9. The expenses
were $9,232,7542O.
For the year ending June 30, 1913
the receipts were $5,423,110.92, anG
the expenditures $5,0S4,769.15.
For the year ending June 80, 1914
the receipts were $6,101,969.27, ant
the expenditures 44,626.87.

IT'S AN ILL WIND >

Yesterday the stock market, under
the influence of wars and rumors of
wars, went to pieces. But at the close
higher than at the close of the mar
stood twelve cents above the price OF
twelve days before. This in the face
of crop conditions which, unaffected
by the war factor, would have con-
siderably depressed the price Of
wheat and either slightly lowered the
price of corn or left it stationary.
It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good We are not exulting over
the troubles of our European neigh
bors But the war-if war there be
will find us with granaries and ele-
vators full to bursting with the great
est wheat crop ever raised in the
United States and an abundant corn
crop, even now almost beyond the
point of possible harm. This coin
cides with Russian wheat crop Of
1852, 100000 bushels less than last
season, shortened yield in the Danub-
ian countries, and an Argentine har-
vest of about the usual quantity but
inferior quality.
No matter which way the pendu-
lum swings, our position is secure. If
the war scare quiets down, and dis
erection is accepted as the better part
of valor, we shall go on marketing
a wonderful crop, with the price
steadied by the comparative scarcity
overseas. But if the exchanges of
Europe give way to panic, and Ameri-
market, our trade balance, swollen
by free movement of grain at top
prices, will be sufficient to absorb the
entire volume of securities so offered
without draining away our gold.
In former years of bountiful har-
vests we have always had one mex
orable cause of anxiety that planted
the deaths head in the midst of the
feast-an inelastic currency system,
whose reserve provisions froze up the
streams of cash just when their flow
was most necessary and compelled
bankers to sit with folded hands in
hours of threatened panic, when the
remedy was simple and, but for the
law, within their grasp. To-day we
are on the theshhold of new order
of things. The speedy organization
of the federal reserve system will re-
move the wholly artificial difficulty
which made the very abundance of
our harvests a menace and make
general panic henceforth impossible
Secure from wars alarms, with
nearly 1000 miles of salt water be-
tween us and the nearest great pow
err, with bursting barns and overflow
ing bins, the United States, in the
act of strengthening her commercial
and financial fabric at the one point
of conspicuous weakness, looks on the
troubles of Europe with sympathetic
eye but without fear. A European
war, should it come-which may
Heaven forfend-will find this cOun-
try better prepared to endure its in
cidental inconvenience than at any
former time since the Civil War. The
gusts of war may be an i'll wind to
Europe, but they will fan the pros
perity of the United States.-St.

The STREET CAR MAN

Editor Day Book-My attention

nonading of our city's street car men,
their impolite manners and offensive
treatment of passengers; and 1 wish

cases, but comparatively rare 1 am
in a position to speak of the men on
the cars, and for every cheerful, re-
spectful word, one was likewise re-
turned.

one comes more in contact with the
general public than that of street
car conductor; or one who has a
more trying position than the motor

rushing; pushing, babble,. the ours
ings Of teamsters, the abuse of ner-
vous passengers, the wearing, tear
ing strain, brought on by traffic con-
gestion, the constant concentration
of mind, the quick brain action re-
quired and judgment displayed in
moments of dire peril. These men
are human beings and are suscep-
tible to humane treatment.
That two-by-four enclosed by the
conductors guard rail is his sphere,
the only world he lives in. That

LETTERS TO EDITOR
LETS BE HUMAN FIRST"

Editor Day Book-Your comment
on the Mangasarian pope and Bel
GUM stuff hits the nail on the head.
What is the sense Of eternally at
lacking other folks because of their
reigion? That sort of business has
been the occasion of more misery
and bloodshed than any other sin
gle cause you can name.
In the goth century men and
women ought to have the right to
get to heaven or go to hell according
to any set of notions they please.
Lots of Belgians have not any more
use for the pope than the professor,
but it would be a pretty poor sort
of human animal that would let such
people suffer because he didn't like
the opinions they profess.
Most of us are better than our
prejudices, and venture to say that
the craziest of us in respect to mat
tiers about which none of us know
very much would feel with old Bill
Shakespeare that zone touch of ma
ture makes the whole world kin. - -.
Let us be human first of all, and
then whatever frills Of belief or I'M
belief we put on afterward won't
make a great deal of difference
