Writing on the cooperative activi-
ties OF the Belgian workingmen. Bruno
G4asker pays tribute In Tho Survey to
the genius of the people whose country
has been made the cock pit Of Eu-
rope" He says:
THE unifying forces ore not per-
haps. at ordinary times so clearly visf-
BILE as they are in such other young
nations with mixed populations, a.
Germany or the United States. But
they are there all the same. deriving
their strength from two elements
which more than any others are char
acteristic OF the Belgian people a. q
whole and fundamental to the position
which they have made for themselves
among the nations of the world.
These elements are, a deeply in-
grained love Of liberty and an apti-
tude for association for common ends
which is the outcome OF centuries of
experience.
I'm art and in literature this valiant
nation has achieved undying fame: the
greatness OF It's tradition does not lie
dormant but continually blossoms out
in fresh growths which influence the
trend Of human progress. The genius
OF a people cannot be destroyed by fire
or sword: It will live on when the last
mitrailleuse is rusting In the basement
OF the historical museum at Brussels"

THE MULCT LAW.


The mn!ct Law may be repealed but
it will not be made milder. Seventy
six out Of the ninety-n nine counties in
the state are dry now and in ten others
only one spot is wet The next move
made on the liquor qeustion in Iowa
will be to remove the concession to the
liquor men incorporated In the mulct
law. This will apply majority rule in
the state to all It's parts.
The justification for this course is
growing stronger every day Easy
means of transportation extend the in
the limits OF their own counties. Coun-
Gil BLUFFS Is the only town In the Ninth
and Creston the only one In the Eighth
congressional districts which are wet.

This contest will not cease until one
side or the other has won complete
victory. There isn't any question which
side is ultimately going to win. The
