Getting Ready For Campaion

senator Cummins is in Iowa ready
for the first whirl Of his campaign
for reelection. He arrived in Des
Moines from Washington Monday.
Barring developments in congress
which would cause him to be recalled.
he will stay in the state two weeks,
during which time he will fill a num-
Der of speaking dates which the
state central committee has arrang-
ed.
The senator is in fine trim and
fully prepared for the political con-
test ahead of him. He is looking
forward to the adjournment of con-
gress, which will permit him to be-
gin more strenuous campaigning
than will be attempted on the pres
ent trip.
The senator is opposed to the war
tax which the democratic admins
trat.on proposes to levy upon the
country He asserts that by killing
the rivers and karbors bill carrying
$S5, 100000 appropriations, it would
practically be possible to get along
without placing war burden on the
people.
The people of the country are
unwilling to pay war tax now in
view of the extravaganza of the
democratic administration, coming
in as the administration did on the
pledge of economy" said Senator
Cummins. The appropriations al
ready are 5000, 100000 more than
the highest of any previous year.

MODERN WAR.

The popular conception OF war
sees a battle as line of men with
colors flying and cheering omcers,
led forward in dress parade against
a similarly arranged foe. over on
some hill is the general watching the
tattle with field glasses, and send
ing dispatches by mounted aides on
frothing horses.
Modern war has made such meth
DDS as obsolete as the Roman galley
Battle flags are a means of attracting
the enemy's fire. The general sits
in some quiet office or field station
miles from the front. and talks with
his officers by telephone or wireless.
War has become business and in
dustrial proposition. The slightest
failure in detail may wreck ID cam
paign. Sore feet due to imperfectly
stitched shoes may cost a battle,
quite as much as defective rifles.
In the Balkan war the Montene-
grins illustrated the failure of old
style warfare. The picturesque
mountaineers were called the best
fighters in Europe. They disdained
to carry intrenching tools. So it
cost them three times as many men
and four times as much time to cap
ture Scutari as would have been TAX
en- by scientific fighters with the
spade
There is no place in modern war
fare for the individual hero. He
would interfere with discipline. Ey-
eryone has to be a hero. That in
wolves an efficient comissariat. Good
fighting is never done by hungry
men.
Still, the human element can new
er be systematized out of war. By
incessant target practice the marks
man learns to shoot straight, which
was the reason why the United States
beat Spain in 1898 so readily. The
other human element of enthusiasm
Is partly matter of national tenn
perament, partly sense of the jus-
tice of the cause. Such are the great
factors in this war OF the gods on
the frontier of France

G.F. Grave for Representative.

Among the persons nominated for
the legislature next winter we no
tice the name of Joseph F. Grave,
of Waverly, who has been chosen by
the republicans of Bremen county as
their candidate for the House of Rep
resentatives. Mr. Grave is one of
the very best men in northern Iowa
and il elected will serve his coun-
ty and the state with marked ability
AS a soldier of the civil war he made
an enviable record. He was with
General Corse and took part in the
memorable battle of Allatoola,
where he was wounded and made a
prisoner. AS citizen Joseph Grave
has served his country with a dis
tinction no less than that which
marked his career in the army. For
fifty years he has been the publisher
of newspapers which have been con-
Quoted ON high grade principles, ad-
vocating in his editorials always
what he believed to be for the best
interest of his readers. We hope
Mr.. Crave will be elected for he is
a good man and we'll deserves such
recognition.

in the tables of divorces in Wisconsin,
just completed by the state bureau OF
vital statistics under direction Of State
Health officer G. A. Harper.
we find the wife to be the plaintiff
in more than half of the divorce pro-
ceedings and in about one-third of the
cases to have had a gainful occupa-
tion," says the biennial report of the
department, which has just been sent
to the printer The inference is that
women having a gainful occupation,
to which they may return, more read
lily seek divorce than those who have
no gainful occupation.
During the year ending Sept 30,
1912, 1915 divorces were reported in
Wisconsin and 1891 in 1913 The mum
Der of marriages reported for 1912 was
