THAT CRAFT INVESTIGATION.

THAT GRAFT 1NVEST1GAT1ON.
GDes Moines Capital
The Introduction OF the resolution
in the state senate mas been accompan-
led By much fervid oratory and heated
debate. III some quarters we are told
that the governor was unfortunate"
in his choice OF Words Others are
condemning him with faint praise for
his holiness OF speech. Still others are
frank to admit that the governors
words are timely and VIII strike an APP
preciative chord thruout the state.
The Des Moines Capital desires to be
included with the element last named.
For long time this newspaper has
been featuring the slogan-"More bust
ness and less politics in governmental
affairs" We propose to keep those COL
ors flying.
Senator Quigley, the author Of the
senate resolution OF Investigation, is a
democrat. and 1t is but natural that in
the interests Of partisanship he should
seek to create as much partisan cap
ital az possible out OF an existing sit
uation. bue-the public will not be slow
to see that the governor has the law on
his side and 1t is a matter OF common
knowledge that he has not misstated
any facts.
| 1t Is well known that more help Is
employed in the way of clerks and jani-
| tors around a legislative session than
are needed. 1t is part of the sys-
tenn which has developed with the
passing years and has grown into an
abuse.
| Are we to be classified along with
Illinois and Pennsylvania and other
graft ridden commemorative" ex.
claims one senator.
| That remains to be seen
The future might bring US within
that classification If no check were e
be placed upon some of our present.
day tendencies.

RENT AND FOOD
 PRICES TOO HIGH
Scottish Workers Refuse to Pay High Rents Demanded by Landlords
 as Result of the War.

GLASGOW, Dec. S.--It is believed the government will be compelled to take cognizance of the rent strikes which exists in this city as thousands of tenants have refused to pay the higher rents which are being demand ed by the landlords since the begin ming of the war. Similar conditions are reported from all large cities and laborers are threatening to engage in general strike if the government permits their being evicted from their homes.
 The workers assert that although the cost of food has increased from 25 to 40 per cent that their wages have not kept pace with the cost of living and say they will cause strikes in the intuition factories un- less the government restricts the landlords in their demands. Labor leaders assert that if the government wishes to avoid strikes at the present time when the nation is passing through a crisis, that it must see to it that prices of food and rents are not advanced to point which will force men to strike.

WILSON APPROVES
 LANS|NG'S ACTION
Ambassador HernStOrff Is Told Ger man Embassy Attaches Have
 Been too Active in L. ;.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec S. President Wilson has emphatically approved of Secretary Lansing's ac- tion in asking for the recall of Cap tain Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen, naval and military attaches to the German embassy in Washington.
 In demand to Ambassador Bern storff's demands as to the reasons why the German officers were unac- ceptable to the American government, Secretary Lansing, with the approval of President Wilson, sent brief note stating that their recall was desired because of their activities in connec- tion with the proven violations of American neutrality.
 During the trial of the Hamburg American officials it was admitted by Dr. Buenz, president of the company, that the directors were acting under instructions from Captain Boy-Ed in chartering vessels and securing clear ance papers for them by false repre- sentation.
 Recent utterances of President Wilson, when he declared that Amer ica should get rid of troublesome for eign representatives is taken to indi- cate that other officials whose names have been mentioned in connection with the alleged conspiracies will be recalled.

ANOTHER DEFECTIVE
 |S ALLOWED ID DIE
Parents Believe they Showed kind- ness by Refusing to Sign Per-

CHICAGO, Decf 8.-Chicago has again been aroused over the fact that Grace Werder, three?days old in fant who had been declared by a board of physicians to be hopelessly defective and deformed. has been al- lowed to die.
 Dr. Faltermayer. who attended the mother at the birth of the child, re- fused to perform an operation which was necessary to prolong the life of the infant because Chas. Warder. it's father, refused to sign permit au- thorizing the operation.
 An inquest will be held in the cor oner's office today when the physi- clans who passed on the fate of the child will be required to give testi- mony. The mother and father of the child believe they have done the greatest kindness they could do for their child by permitting it to die.

FORD SAYS PREPAREDNESS
 SCHEME OF FINANCIERS.

Detroit: Henry Ford believes that President Wilson's preparedness pro- gram is really a plan to keep the mu- nition factories busy after the Euro pean war ends. Shortly before leav- ing for Europe MT. Ford expressed himself on the national defense meas ure as follows:
 "In reality war is a device of the big financiers. the biggest towards in the world. Those fellows run if you drop a hat, but they don't care how much the other fellow-the little ones-fight; or how many are killed. 1t is the little fellows who pay for these wars, and the wars only in- crease the burden upon the little fel- low, while making the big one more powerful and wealthier. The news papers of the world could end the present war in two months time if they were not subservient to the big fellows. Unite the newspapers of the world in a campaign for peace, and the men who feed the war mills of death and the women who must bear the burdens and the sorrows Of home will, of their own force, end armed conflict"
