WHERE SHALL TINE CHILDREN COZ

An autoist related this morning that
at five different points in the city last
evening impromptu ball games in the
streets put the lives and limbs of chill
dren in danger and struck terror to the
drivers of automobiles. He explained
that the lads rush unconsciously under
the wheels of machines in their eX-
element and enters just protest
against such use of the streets.
He is right. The automobile has
right Of way over ball games in the
public thoroughfares and his criticism
Of parents is also justified.
But where are the children to go?
Where are they to play ball? Their
elders are paying out couple Of thou
sands a month in order to see the
game played. Excitement is rife over
baseball, not alone among the children
but including their elders. The boys
will play ball. Children can not be
led on a leash. They will get into the
streets and play in the streets if they
have no place else to play. Legally Of
course they have no right to use the
streets as Fairgrounds. But exercis
ing a right that goes back TO the first
fare they will do it. They will keep on
doing it. Probably the chariots of
ancient Assyrian cities had to dodge
boys in the streets as automobiles are
obliged to do in our cities.
The thing comes to this: We must
keep on raising children or the world
stops. The automobile is here to stay.
But one solution presents itself
furnish the children a place to play in.
That is the only way out Of the diff
Guilty. For the machines are going to
whisk along the streets and the boys
are going to toss baseballs somewhere.
Give the children places to play where
they and the autoists shall both be
free from terror and injury.
Don't fool around talking about it.
ASotc@biiSAA SiiC pay SlouilhS. l. iDli ZIG
autoists recapitulation of the five
dangerous sections at least five play
spots are needed in this city. Some
day they will force themselves on us.
II we meet the need half way We shall
meet the cost half way. It is a measure
of necessity. To say that this city can
not afford it is idle talk. 1t must at
ford it and it has the resources to do
it. Under the changed conditions that
have come in with the auto the play
grounds classify as necessities second
airy perhaps only to the public schools.
We shall continue to manufacture
and use automobiles. Folks will go on
rearing children. The auto will domi-
nate the streets. Where are the chill
dren to go?

Topics of the Times

If the Canadians desire to minimize
tania they viii keep on assaulting
German residents in Canadian cities.
A few riots like that at Victoria will
destroy all the advantage in public
opinion gained by the British thru the
revulsion against war methods that
take no note Of nom combatants.
Of Leo Frank there is little doubt left
that Georgia means to hang him
whether or no.
Why all this fuss over the use of
gas in war? Most of us would prefer
chloroform to shrapnel.
Now the quarantined districts are
demanding DR.. Gibson's head in a
basket, and certain newspapers are
doing the Herodian wriggle before the
governor with the same purpose of the
dancing lady Of ancient times How
ever, the governor isn't much Of a
Herod and the chances are that the
basket will be handed back empty.
It is evident that Mr.. Bryan's fond
ness for grape products doesn't go as
far as grapeshot.
It is foolish child who gets in the
way Of the physicians car hurrying to
answer an emergency call but it doesn't
follow that the driver is justified or
excusable when he drives over him de-
liberately. And the same logic seems
to follow the passengers aboard an
ocean liner.
The latest for lieutenant governor is
Lars Bladine of the Cedar Falls Rec
ord. Aside from other qualifications
that front name Of Bladine's would be
like votes in the bank.
AS the days pass and the comment
grows it is being pretty well estab-

Of world wide markets for other lines
Of production.
Bradstreets presents list Of goods
in which our exports have gained to
the extent Of $3S5,s77,05s, principally
breadstuffs, sugar. wool. zinc. horses,
and auto trucks but this is Offset by
another list in which our exports have
decreased by s473.505,s03, among which
cotton leads with loss equal to our
gain in breadstuffs, followed by agri-
cultural implements, copper. iron and
steel, mineral oils, tobacco and wood.
Nearly two thirds of the total in
creases in our exports since the war
began is in breadstuffs while the
southern states have lost In cotton and
tobacco all that the grain belt has
gained in breadstuffs and sugar. Our
gain in horses and autos shipped
abroad is less than our loss of iron
and steel products used in the arts
Of peace. A gain Of 100000 in har-
ness exports is lost in loss Of S.
900,0 900 in furs and skins. The wool
growers who have gained $14,370,922
are offset by the implement factories
which have lost s16,194,61S. Even the
auto business shows a small net gain
for the loss Of S7,325,000 in auto tour
ing cars for export is more than half
the net increase of auto trucks for
war and our gain Of sS,227,O00 in ex-
plosives is almost cancelled by our
loss of S6,96S,O0O in exports of coal
while our loss in exports Of copper
alone are nearly five times as great as
our gain in exports of ammunition.
These latter are about equalled again
by uor loss or decrease CT s7,620.o00 in
naval stores.
A glance at the tables in Bradstreets
will show that war is stimulating
prices for the products of the grain
belt and helping thereby to make food
more expensive for more than half
Of the people of the United States but
that it has impoverished a large part
Of our country in the cotton and to-
bacco states and has not helped as
many factories as it has injured. The
only distinct compensation we are get
ting from the war is that we are buy
ing so much less from abroad that the
balance Of trade is piling up an inter-
credit in our favor and our
cwn people are being compelled to buy
nearly everything they use from home
producers. No high tariff wall ever
the present European conflict
in compelling our people to buy at
home. Generally speaking, however,
was is hell even in business.

IOWA WILL FARM ARGENTINE.

"A circular from an old and estab-
lished bond house of Chicago an
nounces to investors Of the agricul-
tural west 6 per cent gold bonds of
the Argentine Republic and this is the
first swallow which promises a sum-
own people. Heretofore Europe has
loaned its surplus capital to the United
States and to the rising nations of all
the earth. Europe is now engaged in
burning its own surplus capital, we are
paying back in surplus merchandise
and foods all that Europe has loaned
to US and the world, hereafter, must
look to the United States for the
money it will need in it's business.
Particularly fitting is it that bond
broker in Chicago, the grain market
Of the world, should be selling Argen-
tine bonds to the investors Of the grain
belt states for the Argentine Republic
our own than any other Of the lands
Of foreign people.
1.-THE Argentine is in many respects
strikingly similar to our own country"
write the bond brokers. 1T has been
referred to as the United States Of
South America In area it is equal to
the entire United States east Of the
Mississippi river and few additional
states west. This approxinates the
combined area OF France, Norway,
Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Switzerland, Austria Hungary, Ireland
and Italy.
"The country is primarily an agri-
cultural one and its chief resources
therefore could not be more stable or
| fundamental in character" the bond
| brokers say, and it is now a near
| probability that within a very few
years the state of Iowa will be send

great farms Of the Argentine republic.
When the Argentine government Dor

friendly feeling will grow up as be-
tween the two nations and farmers
from the states will be welcome
Farmers from the states will senG

a great commerce will follow. AS the
present generation has witnessed tn.

WHAT AILS IOWA?
Huntington Hawkeye.1

Ever since the last census was taken
there have been q number Of good
people who have continued to ask the
question: what ails IowaT In some
cases, there was sympathetic tone
that may have been genuine. In many
other cases there was something dis
tinctly malicious in the manner IN
which the question was put.
The fact is that Iowa leads the sis
terhood Of states in 80 mony respects
that there was no need of asking the
question, no excuse for asking it. For
there is and was absolutely nothing
the matter with Iowa. If the last
census was taken Alright, there was q
slight falling -off in population. And
1t was on this account and on this
only. that the more or less friendly
Inquiries continued to be made. The
facts were that there had been many
thousands Of Iowans who had listened

COUNT THE STUDENTS.
TClinton Herold.1

A Clinton man reports to The
Herald that q census enumeration, call
ing upon him, refused to list his son
as a resident Of Clinton. because he is
a student in the state university.
Plainly, it is time for the commercial
club to take a hand in the enumera-
ton. Students in college are residents
OF the city where their parents reside,
If they return for the summer or II
they are dependent to any extent upon
their parents for support. That is the
law Of Iowa. The refusal to list such
a resident, even hesitancy to do so, il
proof, conclusive that Clinton is not
getting a complete enumeration. The
matter should be taken up energeti-
cally, or the city will get an Nunde-
served black eye in the census.

Fifteen years ago the Times epub-

loon in Iowa, and no other daily news
paper was enlisted in the fight Today
all but very few daily newspapers
are opposing the saloon and SO are the
people Of the state.-Marshallto
Times Republican.
The Times Republican doesn't pro-
pose to let its light shine under a
bushel basket 1t believes In putting
the glim out where everybody can see
it. But it is mistaken just the same.
Were 1t not for the extreme modesty
Of the Freeman Tribune it could tell
of daily that opposed the saloon
twenty years ago and of a weekly that
opposed the saloon in 1882, when the
prohibitory amendment was up for dis
cussion. But the Freeman Tribune is
not going to name the paper. Possibly
the Times Republican can guess which
one is referred to.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

1T is contrary to international law
and the accepted rules of civilized
warfare. 1t is indefensible, a cruel and
unwarranted feature Of this extraordi-
nary struggle" says the Burlington
Hawkeye of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania- THE United States and every
neutral will probably protest: or at
least ought to do so. Protests may
avail nothing now, but a common hu-
manity demands that the foundation
be laid for development of a higher
moral code in the conduct Of war"
Germany has probably come to the
conclusion that the United States can
not do her much harm and, therefore,
that friendly relationship with the
United States is a matter Of entire in
difference to her." says the Sioux City
Tribune. This Is the only rational
way to account for the attacks upon
the property Of the people of the
United States, az in the case of the
ship Gulfight and their wanton MUIR
der, as in the case of the sinking OF
| the Lusitania"

Americans whose lives were at stake
