From the editorial chair of g good
country newspaper to Industrial COM
missioner of Iowa is pretty big
drop, but Senator A. B. Funk took it
and seems TO have been little injured
by the descent. If he makes as good
2 commissioner as he did an editor
it will be impossible for his successor
to make Improvement.
Attorney General Cosson and Sen
ator Joe Allen are right at home
whether addressing a congregation
in church, a crowd of farmers in a
school house or gathering of female
suffragists at the opera house. They
are very versatile gentlemen and
either of them would make the state
a good governor
1aa ----------------------
The Boone News-Rephblican has
raised the question of which is the
Oldest newspaper in ,the state. Some
of those published along the eastern
border are probably entitled to first
place. In this section of the state
few outrank the Freeman, which was
established in June, 1857, and is still
issued as a weekly under its origins
al name.
The attorney general has given an
opinion to the effect that preachers
are not Workmen in the meaning of
the compensation law of Iowa. But
the attorney general should have
qualified and classified. The preach
ers who prepare their own sermons
are most assuredly workmen, but the
ones who buy their sermons are
merely dealers in merchandise.
The democrats In congress are now
perplexed with the question of
whether or not to take President
Wilson's preparedness plans into eau
Gus and make the issue one of par
tisanship. If they resort to the eau
Gus it means that weak kneeded
democrats will be forced, to support
preparedness whether they want to
or not, but it will eliminate republi-
can support to some extent.
Our old friend, the congress of the
United States, is back in place at
Washington after few months re-
cess. He, is a little older than ever
before, but that doesn't mean he is
wiser, not by long shot. This is
his siXty-fourth session and he has
a lot of work on hand to do. He is
keeping the Washington date line
very busy at the start and may be
able to keep up the pace throughout.
The German chancellor few days
ago told the reichstad that Ger
many has no peace terms. This
statement was made in reply to the
wishes Of German socialists to know
upon what terms Germany would me-
gotiate peace. 1t is quite evident that
neither side of the great conflict is
yet ready to quit. The war must go
ON until the great European powers
are almost exhausted. The pity of
it.
