IRELAND'S CMINOUS QUIET;
 THE CALM BEFORE A STORM.
Preparations For Civil War Go on SteadIy-VoIunteer 15o,ooo Strong.

It is an ominous quiet that prevails in Ireland now, says a Belfast dis patch to the New York Post Probably to other countries it seems that the trouble in and concerning Ulster has subsided. There could be no greater mistake. To us who are watching events at first hand from day to day this quiet. more marked apparently than has prevailed in Ireland in twen- ty years, is only the calm before the storm.
 Unostentatiously. but none the less surely. both parties in the home rule controversy are making the deadliest preparations for an expected conflict.
 At the Unionist headquarters the agents are working night and day pre- pairing the details of provisional gov ernment. The machinery is almost in working order, the final details having been arranged when Carson was last in Belfast
 The putting into force of that ma- chinery is expected to be the signal for the outbreak. It seems incredible that the British government will stand the taking over of public departments and offices by the Ulster government. The government must assert itself or leave the province to anarchy. If it asserts it's authority bloodshed is almost a cer- tainty.
 Carson put the issue plainly and clearly. In event of complete and per- manent exclusion of Ulster from the provisions of the home rule bill not being granted. he would not hesitate to order his men-f1O.OOO we'll armed cavalry. artillery and infantry-to take take the province under their control and hold it by force of arms. At the moment the province is garrisoned by 5000 British soldiers, seven-eighths of whom are in complete sympathy with the Ulster volunteers. If the govern ment attempts to move more troops into the province there will be revolt, with an outcome which can only be conjectured.
 On the other side the Irish volun- teers are increasing by leaps and bounds. They now muster close on 10000 men. True, they are unarmed to any great extent, and they are on- cerless. but they constitute a most for midable body. and England will have to reckon with them in the very near future. The controversy as to who shall control that big army Is still raging.

The example of Cleveland in setting the clock ahead one hour to conform to eastern time in order to have one hour more of daylight for workers is to be copied at Kenosha, Wis. because of the interest in golf, which occupies the attention of the leading factory own CTS.
 They have proposed a plan to adopt eastern time to start their factories an hour earlier in the day and close an hour earlier in the afternoon This would enable the employees and en- ployers to go home at 4 o'clock. and q further shortening of the noon hour to thirty minutes, which is also suggest cL would advance the closing time an- ssseer half hour.

WIDOWS PENSION LAW.

correspondent DeS NJ ONES Register
and Leaderl
To the Editor: resolution con
demning the widows pension law. and
asking the legislature to wipe 1t from
the statute books was adopted by the
supervisors of the state at their annual
convention recently held at Cedar Rap
ids. The only reason given for the
adoption Of said resolution was the
generosity of the courts in granting
pensions causing a heavy drain on the
funds from which these pensions are
paid. Why did this honorable body
single out this widows pepsion act
from number OF other measures
passed by the recent legislature?
II they desire the practice Of econ
omy. the curtaining OF expenses in the
handling Of public funds, and had the
interest OF their tax paying constitu-
ency In mind, why did they not con-
denim the laws enacted by the same
different state officials?
Why not condemn the laws passed by
the same legislature increasing the
salaries Of majority Of our county
auditors, county recorders, county
treasurers and county superintendents!
| The law affecting the salaries OF the
different county officials has no doubt
! been brought to the attention OF the
/ majority OF the supervisors Of the state
and no resolution and nothing made
| public, showing that these laws were
| condemned At this convention by the
men who have charge OF the finances OF

Maurice Connolly. democratic candi-
date for United States senator from
Iowa, Is making a plea that a vote
against Connolly is vote against Will
son." The young Iowan is said to
stand in the shoes OF President Wilson
so far as Iowa is concerned, but IL the
statement is true there is plenty Of
room for argument. Connolly in his
career as congressman undoubtedly
supported the president and the admin
fstration in every move. following the
leaders blindly. Possibly he lacked
conviction. but II is true that he did
not have the courage to make the usual
grand stand play" which is a part of
the game OF politics employed by such
democratic leaders as Clark and I'm
derwood The administration would
doubtless glory in the defeat of Senator
Cummins but willy-nilly the demo-
cratic national leaders have been COM
PEELED to accept a comparatively weak
vehicle for that purpose.

PLUMBING AND DISEASE.

Stcamhtters and Cashiers where 1t
was seriously said that. insufficient
laws regulating plumbing and santa
ton in Virginia. Maryland and the
| District of Columbia are largely re-
sponsihle for the high typhoid rate and
the prevalence of other disease in the
two states and the district" and again
that much of the fever and other
forms OF disease with which the health
authorities are constantly wrestling is
emanating from neglected or defective
pipes in the homes of people"
Then the medical journal expresses
surprise that old ideas concerning the
causes of disease survive a long time
after these ideas have been generally
out grown or discredited" and con-
tesseS that Il, is little d;sconcerting
10 find that typhoid fever can still be
complacently attributed to bad plumb
ing"
Then the medical writer goes on TO
point on, that typhoid fever-or any
other fever-is not caused by bad
smells. and that the small quantity of
the gases of decomposition found in
differentiated sewers has never been
proved to exert any injurious effect
whatever on health \ connection he

WIDTH OF ROADS.


Referring TO the fact that Senator
Chase is preparing bill to present to
the legislature providing for narrower
highways. the Webster City Freeman
Tribune expresses the belief that two
rods, or thirty-three feet. would be
about the right standard width for
roadways. It may interest the Free
man Tribune to know that in Sac
county. where the matter OF narrow
roadways has been given practical at
tention by the board of supervisors
the width OF roads having been re-
duced in at least half OF the townships
OF the county, the standard width final
ly has been fixed at fifty feet. The
first township to reduce the width Of
its roads was Wheeler where forty Ave
was nxed as the standard. but this was
believed to be too narrow and subse-
quent changes were made on the basis
of fifty feet Even when the width Is
reduced ii is often necessary to leave
some Of the roads sixty six feet wide In
order to allow plenty OF room for grad
ing
