CARTER HARRISON LOSES.

At the primary held in Chicago yes
terday Carter Harrison was defeated
in the nomination for the mayor on the
democratic ticket by a man by the
name of Sweitzer, who is at present
county clerk OF Cook county, the ma
jority against Harrison being in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
This was great surprise, inasmuch
as Harrison has held the Office num-
Der of terms and has seemingly given
satisfaction Perhaps the best way
to account for it is that Sullivan, the
leader OF the democratic party in
Illinois, was supporting Sweitzer and
opposed to Harrison. 1t will be re-
membered that When Sullivan ran for
United States senator he carried Chi
cago by very large majority, which
shows his hold upon the democrats of
that city.
The republican nominee is William
Hale Thompson. who ran against Har-
ry Il. Olson, chief justice of the munic-
ipal court OF the city of Chicago.
Thompson's majority over Olson is
slight, perhaps not more than two or
three thousand and it is barely pos
sible that upon the official count that
he may not win out

MAY BECOME INVOLVED.

Recent developments growing out OF
the European war have brought the
United States in a position where it
is not only possible, but will not prove
a surprise If we become involved to the
extent, OF having to use force to main
tain our dignity and Standing as a
nation.
We know the feeling prevailing
throughout the country is in favor OF
submitting to almost any indigL:ty
rather than to plunge the country into
war, but unless accidents happen to
favor~us it looks very much as if we
may find ourselves driven to force in
order to preserve the rights which are
due us as q neutral country.
Both England and Germany are APP
parently forgetful OF the rights OF a
neutral country in their desire to de-
stroy each other. They act as ii the
world belonged to them and that the
other nations have no greater privilege
than to assist one or the other in their
plans of warfare. Neither OF them is
able to successfully contest the right
OF the United States to send our prod
ucts for sale in the markets of the
world and that ii becomes the duty of
these countries not to interfere with q
neutral nation In carrying on its COM
merce with other neutral nations and
even with belligerent nations. so long
as the neutral nation does not show
any violating the law of neutrality.
When the United States is warned
that it assumes all responsibility and
takes all risk of the destruction OF
ships which it employs to carry on the
commerce Of this country, in case our
ships pass into what is called the war
zone, it is going beyond the rules of in
ternational law and beyond all reason.
We have said to these nations that we
must hold them responsible for any
act violating the rules OF international
law and, having taken this position, it
becomes our duty to protect Amer
lean citizens, and American commerce.
In case our rights are not respected
the step we must take can not be
short of the application of force.
There is no more justification for
those countries at war to claim the
right to trample upon the rights and
privileges of other countries than there
is when two men engage in a street
brawl to claim that they have a right
to crowd everybody else off the side
walk and off the street.
We are in favor of our country doing
everything possible to avoid becoming
enibroiled in the European trouble,
but If 1t means in order to keep out of
trouble that we shall surrender our
rights as a nation and be Inundated
and trampled upon then, we say, let
the country adopt a course that will
protect 1t from such an experience.

TIDE AGAINST SALOONS.

The action of the house of represent
atives at Des Moines in repeating the
mulct law was much more decisive
than anyone had anticipated, the vote
standing 70 in favor Of the repeal to 20
against it. 1t must be admitted that
Lhe tide in the state at present is run
ming with mighty force against the sa-
looms Rnd in favor of prohibition. The
advocates OF prohibition are not will
ing to wait until vote of the people
can be had upon the question of
amending the constitution, but advant-
age of the sentiment against the sa-
loon is taken and statutory pro-
hibition is adopted to take effect on
the first day of January, 1916.
The vets may as we'll conclude to ac-
cept their medicine, for as long as the
sentiment of the state is so radically
opposed to their policy the fact that
the action is to take effect on the first
of January next is perhaps no worse
than il it should take effect year lat
er. The people have decided to try
prohibition as a better means of con-
trolling the use of intoxicating liquors
than under the present. law and any
thing short Of the experiment OF such
q trial will not satisfy the majority OF
the people. II, after the trial is had, it
turns out that the results are better
than under the present law then pro.
hibitiCn will remain in force. If it
turns out that the results are no better
than they were before when prohibit
ton was tried, it will be no surprise if
a change comes such as came before.
but one thing is certain, the people
will have their way and it will prove a
dangerous experiment for anyone to
attempt to thwart the will Of the ma
jority.

THE NEED FOR ENFORCEMENT

Attorney General Cosson is right
when he says, at will be folly for
the legislature to repeal the mulct law
and then not give me any means with
which to enforce prohibition" 1t is
hoped the Legislature will not perpe-
trate such folly. The presumption is
that the legislature believes prohibit
ton can be made success--clse 1t
would not have provided il. To be
q success prohibition must be en-
forced. To stand any chance OF en-
forcement in communities where local
sentiment is strongly against it the
state must exercise control over effec.
tive enforcement machinery. 1t is
state sentiment that is forcing prohi-
bition on number of Iowa cities.
1t is only logical that the state Shall
stand responsible for enforcement or
nonenforcement in cities which ii left
to themselves would be content to
license and regulate saloons.
That the statute will have something
of problem on its hands in enforc.
ing prohibition in the river cities is
not a mere theory. The theory was
demonstrated thoroughly back i'll the
sos. There is no need for another
demonstration. The legislature may
proceed on the understanding that ii
e. repetition of past unpleasant expe-
riences is to be avoided improved
machinery for law enforcement in the
normally wet spots will have to be
provided Whether the attorney gen.
eral is proposing the most elective
machinery is question for the legis-
lature to thrash out. The fact that
the attorney general is to be in charge
of law enforcement throughout the
state raises presumption in favor OF
adopting methods satisfactory to him.
However that may be, it is up to
the legislature to devise some means
of giving prohibition fair chance OF
success. in all sections Of the state.
II it can be made complete success
there will be few to regret it. II it
cannot be made success everywhere
the sooner that condition can be DEM
onstrated the better Either way the
proper means to the end will be found
in the strictest law enforcement policy
that can be .levised.-SiouX City Jour.

Senator Cummins does not intend to
lose an opportunity to keep in line
with what he regards as the control

When the legislature voted to repeal
the mulct law and to submit the pro-
hibitory amendment to a vote of the
people the senator had himself
interviewed at Washington and
came out squarely for prohibition and
against the saloons, showing that a
politician is ready to embrace every
opportunity to keep in line with the
majority. 1t seems remarkable that
Senator Cum4mins should be SO prompt
in declaring himself in favor of tenn

been consistently in favor of the liquor
