LAUGHTER WILL COME BACK

der the Overwhelming Desc
latlon of the War.

Some people wonder why theaters
are running during the awful world
tragedy which is being enacted in Eu.
rope. The reason why they ought to
run is well stated by John Palmer in
the Saturday Review:
Let the theater still exist to re-
mind us that the war will pass; that
laughter win come back to the world;
that art will one day be restored:
that we shall not always stand at the
edge of ruin; that it is not neces.
sary to dwell forever with grave
faces, self-consciously in the shadow
OF distress. Thereby we shall help to
keep our country in sane mind and
go'd heart in these coming days and
destroy In its cradle the infant as
su nption Of our entertainers that one
tn sme alone is able at this time t,
Possess us.
This war win never, so long as II
lasts, be in less degree the command

not, therefore. act like stunned crea-
tires and play continually with one
fixed Idea. We have to keep our sense
OF proportion. We must hold on to
our humor and keep 1t bright, and
the theater is going to continue. must
help us in this"

Risk Men Meet With earst.

Warren Garst, Industrial commits
sioner, held a consultation with a
number of insurance men, who re.
quested that the commissioner modi.
fly his position on the matter Of state
control of industrial insurance under
the workmen's compensation law.
They presented arguments opposing
the state going into the insurance
business to compete with stock and
mutual insurance companies already
in the field.
The commissioner in his annual re.
port recommended q change in the
insurance plan so that employers
would pay into state fund Ger
tain amount Of money, depending on
the risk, and the state to administer
the fund for the benefit OF the insur
ed workmen.
The insurance men say that such
a move would put an end entirely to
the industrial insurance business they
now control in Iowa. Several who
have talked with Mr.. Garst declare
that 1t would be impossible for stock
or mutual companies to compete with
such system. They argue that the
plan urged by the commissioner is
practically state insurance and is too
socialistic for the state Of Iowa to
adopt.
Mr.. Garst asserts that he has not
changed his position and that he firm.
ly believes that the plan he urges will
be of immense benefit to the employ
ers OF the state.
