REUNION OF THE md IOWA.

When the old soldiers reunion time
comes again in your county make an
effort to attend, try to get around to
the gathering, assist to make it a sue
cessful meeting in every way. A re-
union of civil war veterans is histor-
ical event. When the survivors of the
tn Iowa come together the spirit of
history presides.
We can not understand. 1t is resur-
rection. The regiment rises again from
graves long green with sod and mantled
with winter SHOWS. Sodden southern
swamps, Georgian mountain sides and
Tennessee hills give up their dead.
From the ooze of river beds and the
shadow Of dismantled prison pens and
rise to roll call, ghosts of the regiment
that was. When the memory bugles
blow the regiment is again a thousand
strong. Tho we see only a group of
failing men standing at salute in the
twilight of old age, the regiment is re-
assembled.
We can not understand. These are
not our memories. When the bugles
blew and the drums beat and the regi-
ment went away to war we were not
there. But we had our part. The war
they fought was ours even more than
theirs. The ghosts that gather unseen
but not unnoted at the reunion Of the
-th Iowa are ours and of US tho we
know them not nor mark their presence.
The reunion of the nd Iowa is an
event. Stop the plows and the wheels
and the business and hurry of the day
to stand at attention while the gray
old men and the ghosts of the regiment
fall in. Hats off to the flag and the
men and the ghosts and the mighty
memories of the sixties.

A BAD LAW.

THE member of the incoming legis-
lature who is first to present a bill for
the repeal of the nonpartisan judiciary
law is sure to make big hit with near
ly everybody" predicts the Hampton
Chronicle There was no demand for
the law from either lawyers or laymen
Those who have given just little study
to the proposition consider the law a
bad one for the people"
That Is about the general conclusion.
The nonpartisan law has nothing to
recommend it in operation. One dose
of it is enough. The sooner that mistake
is corrected the better.
The nonpartisan law was slipped over
on the legislature. 1t sounded good and
received small attention. Legislators
voted for it who are extremely sorry
now. 1t has afforded the chance it was
intended to afford, made opportunity
that should never have been offered.
The bar Of the state seems to have been
equally sleepy with the legislature. Like
the regretful legislator it is now con-
demning the law and certain candidates
created by the law.
There is only one thing to do; that is
to defeat the candidates who ought
never to have been nominated and who
would never have been nominated had
they been obliged to secure indorse-
ment from the bars of their respective
districts, and who under no circum
stances would have been accepted as
candidates by any party for district
judgeship or for the matter of that for
any responsible Office of trust. The
repeal of the law is certain; meanwhile
voters Of all parties should make IL a
point to guard the character of the su-
preme court of Iowa.
The supreme court Of Iowa is the
final appeal of justice and right. It's
integrity and ability should be above
question. AS it stands it is a whole
some. efficient court, a body equal to
that of any court of any state. Let us
keep it so.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH EMF

When Jones went to California he
sold his farm and put the proceeds into
something or other orchard. Thomp-
son sold his ut about the same time but
he bought fruit land up in Montana.
Brown, who had a right good business
of mechanical character, got the
Oregon fever, sold out lock, stock and
barrel business. house and lot and
went out to clear and plant the twen-
ty acres which was to make him in
dependent as soon as the trees got to
bearing
Jones is still in California. He isn't
doing much with the orchard, but it
certainly is delightful climate where
a man may live easy If he has little
for 800 an acre sold the other day for
1925. Thompson came back from
Montana a few months ago TO buy the
old farm back The $1,000 income per
acre per year hadn't materialized. He
found that what he can sell the fruit
ranch for would buy less than half the
old place. Brown writes back to a con-
fidential friend that he was bitterly
stung. When he landed on the twenty
he found it covered with fir trees three
feet thru, thick as hair on a dog wait
ing to be cleared off and burned. The
bark on these trees he says is six
inches thick and must be peeled off
before the logs will burn. Says he can
get 1t cleared for about 5000 an acre.
Meantime he is working a. his trade

mighty tight out there according to
Brown. He wishes he was back In

This Mr.. Bryan reveals by explaining
that the apologetic paragraph in the
Colombian treaty is based upon what is

the Taft administration. That memo-
randum was the basis upon which the
representative of the American govern
ment was to negotiate treaty with

THE IMMORTALITY THAT KILLS.

the other day, II place immortality
above all other causes of INSANITY"
There are other causes, Of course, for
there are other excuses except those
that we associate under the name or
immoralities.
And what is immortality? First OF
all, 1t Is drink and last of all 1t Is
Righteousness. The two are deadly to
bodies and to intellects when they are
associated in the same person. Either
one can kill. wether physically or
spiritually. but both together they
constitute the death terrific, by way OF
the gutter and the insane house. The
judge from the bench warned young
men and women from the desolations
OF lingering deaths. But will his
warning be needed by the multitudes
that are bent on having what they be-
lieVe Is good time? Advice is about
the last thing that such persons heed.
But 1t is staring every one in the face.

road. The wages of sin is death,

anything should have occurred to mar
the long and sincere friendship.
Mr.. Bryan seems to have accepted
this memorandum as sacred dying
wish Of the Wilson administrators
predecessor. We presume that what he
is endeavoring to explain is that the
extraordinary equity of handing over
$25, 900, oo0 garnished with an apology.
in exchange for no benefits received.
and in reparation for no affront given
or Injury afflicted, was perceived by
Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Taft even as by him
and by President Wilson. That may be
his intent, but he presents himself al
most as a trustee bound by obligations
which it would be dishonorable to ig-
more.
This is a curious incident in the life
of our greatest living humanitarian and
friend Of man. In no other respect has
he found the Taft administration
worthy Of other than a swift kick. He
and Mr.. Wilson SO instantly and effec-
lively disagreed with policies they
found in effect in the state department
that there was a scampering exodus OF
policies and appointees.
Mr.. Bryan surely did not inherit any
other obligation than this extraordinary
Colombian one. He and the president
withdrew from the six power loan
agreement with a rapidity which
caused the then Assistant Secretary
Wilson to cry out as strong man IN
pain, and subsequently express con-
tempt for amateur statesmen. No other
policy was inherited.
We have not held the Taft Knox
policies in reverence. There was moth
ing in Mr.. Knox's composition which
would have prevented him from giving
expression in treaty form to a senti-
ment rejecting upon the wisdom and
business Of the president who made the
Panama canal a possibility for this
generation.
Mr.. Knox was capable of doing pre-
cisely what Mr.. Bryan has found he
tried to do, and we fear Mr.. Taft at
that time was not the man to restrain
him. But there is no warrant in that
for like attempt on the part of Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Wilson.
We badly misinterpret the sentiment
of Americans If they are ready to apol-
ogize for American conduct in the ne
gotiations with Colombia, or If they are
willing now to make successful hold
up that failed years ago.
We are willing to pay to establish
friendly relations with Nicaragua, to
put that country at peace, to relieve II
Of embarrassing debts. and to set up
protectorate which will maintain Its
stability, but we are not willing to
compromise with eXtortion and to apol-
ogize for not having done so sooner.

UNEMPLOYED AND JOBS.


Perhaps some good souls would find
the proposal smacking of socialism,
and yet there will be other good souls
to heartily second the motion that the
employment bureau ought to be made
public office everywhere in the land
and that the crooked manager of an
employment bureau ought to be prose-
cuted as vigorously and ought to be
sent to prison as promptly as some OF
the judges are sending up the white
slavers. The cur who preys upon hon
est working people and robs them OF
the last of their savings, under the
false pretence that he is going to fur
nlsh work for these honest people, is
but little better than the white SLAYER
And he has been tolerated everywhere
IN the land these many years. Every
where there are public officers who are
not overburdened with other official
duties and who could we'll find time
10 look after the duties of labor bu-
reau in their respective community.
Some day We may even go farther.
We are now shipping to some other
county, city or state all sorts of people
who can not or will not work and who
may become burden upon the COM
munitY. Is it such vast step from
furnishing transportation to people
who are not looking for work to fur
nlshing transportation to people. who
desire to work.
