considered as absolutely essential to
good musicianship. But Kryl has quail
flied in many ways besides this.
One Of the things that make Kryls
band a success is that Kryl himself
has the instincts Of an entertainer. He
knows the needs Of the people and has
supplied program exactly suited to
them. His offerings range from the
finest of the old classics on through to
modern popular fancies.
The Instrumentation Of KryPs band

this was no small instrument OF his
power. The return of old habits was
as inevitable as the fact that an As
iatic government in America could
not last always.
We came very near getting into
this turmoil when snap-and-go
naval officer ordered a meaningless
formality at the Vera Cruz, and war
from such a cause would have been
as unjustifiable as war for corpor-
ations and property interests. But we
were happily saved so unfortunate
an eventuality by a craftsmanship
that was little short of inspired.
There may come a time, however,
when necessity and duty make the
use of force in Mexico unavoidable.
We may be approaching that time
now. When conditions in Cuba be-
came intolerable the general cause
Of humanity enjoined the United

reign of terror. The rescue of Gu
ba from further spoliation was a just
cause for the use of force. With star
walton and pestilence in Mexico and
brigandage rife in every quarter of
the country, and with the whole
world, including Latin South Amer
lea, urging the United States to save
Mexico from herself, such a course
may be necessary, whereas war in
behalf of commercial interests or of
aggression would have to be de-
nounced as a crime.
Mexico may be able to effect her
own salvation and recovery. Inter-
vention is yet long way off, and in
tervention does not necessarily mean
the use of arms, but provocation is
near the limit and our blood stained
neighbor over the Rio Grande must
earlier or later pacify herself or be
pacified.

NO BUSINESS WITH ISLANDS.


Cedar Rapids Republicans: When
the Philippine islands fell into the
American lap President Mckinley
asked Secretary Wilson, as a farm
err, how much of the land we ought
to keep, Mr.. Wilson replied, "All."
But that is where "Tama jim" gave
bad advice. We ought to have kept
nothing but coaling station in the
islands. We had no business in that
part of the world then and we have
less now. We have all we can attend
to on this side of the Atlantic and
Pacific and we do not always attend
to that properly. We have about
as much business trying to govern
portions of the orient as Japan
would have in trying to govern Gu
ba or that part of Mexico which
goes by the name of Lower Califor-
MIA. But nearly twenty years ago we
looked at such matters differently,
and we allowed the same greed to
dominate us that has dominated 9TH
er nations, although foreign owner
ship and the government of alien
races is necessarily out of harmony
with the principles of our govern
ment-namely, the principle that ev-
cry people should govern itself.

KENYON ON MEXICO.

Fort Dodge Chronicles: When SEN
ator Kenyon in his graduating day
address to the students of the Esth-
erville high school said that he had
mo respect for the interests of
Americans in Mexico and that II
will resign my seat and come home
before l will ever cast a vote to send
a single mothers son to Mexico to
be shot down in the interests of any
corporation or individual" he ex-
pressed sentiments which will be
generally regarded as commendable
except by the corporations and indi-
viduals to which he alludes.
When American commercial inter-
ests established themselves in Mexi-
co they did so understanding the
mercurial Latin-American and his
penchant for revolution and an

true because they failed to heed the
danger signs written into the history
of Mexico by revolutions and tur-
moils numbering into the hundreds.

CREDIT WHERE DUE.

Storm Lake Pilot-Tribune: Do
you know that Webb Byers was the
author of the much discussed Cos
son laws?" When the present at
torney general was in the Office of
Mr.. Byers, then attorney general,
these laws were proposed, and not
after Mr.. Cosson became attorney
general, and they were proposed by

forcement vote between him and
Geo. Cosson might result in the NOM
ination of Lieutenant Governor
Harding. Perhaps it never occurred
to them that Mr.. Cosson could stay
out of the fight if he wanted to. But
Mr.. Cosson is all right for governor
and so is Mr.. Allen and each has a
right to enter the contest upon his
own merit.

Mr.. Byers himself. Mr.. Cosson has
done a good work as attorney gener-
al and has fathered some excellent
legislation, but he has received cred
it for other work for which the rec
ord does not give him credit. His
campaign for the governorship
should not be perfaced, upon such a
basis.

RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS IN
WAR DISCUSSION.

RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS IN
WAR DISCUSSION.
Iowa Falls Citizen: The European
war is the greatest conflict in the
history Of nations and the Ameri-
can people take intense interest as
the tide of battle turns, now this
way, now that. 1t would be reflec-
ton on our intelligence and civiliza-
ton if we were not interested.
In watching the gigantic strug-
gle, men usually sympathize with
this nation or that nation, with that
side or this side. 1t would not be
strange if Frenchmen and people of
immediate French descent favored
the allies. 1t would not be strange
, if Germans with immediate relatives
in the German army favored Ger
many. The same line of reasoning
holds good to considerable extent of
all nationalities engaged in the
strife. Americans, disinterested by
ties of relationship with any coun-
try, have their sympathies and
wishes.
lust what are our rights and lin
itations in the matter of discussion
of this war?
Well, we all have right to free
dom of thought, freedom of discus
sion, and freedom of sympathy as be-
tween the two sides in the war. Our
rights stop right here. We must ev-
en- be decent in the matter of dis
cusson and sympathy.
If we go further and undertake to
discipline, punish, boycott, and be-
rate the man who differs with us, we
SOW seeds of internal strife and dis
sention that grow into rank and
poisonous weeds. If Americans,
sympathizing with the allies, under
take to punish a German American
for sympathizing with Germany, it
is wrong and should not be. If
German American, sympathizing
with Germany, undertakes to punish
his fellow American for sympathiz-
ing with the allies, it is wrong. If
resort is to be to the club, it is a
game that two can play and from
which no good can come.
The thing for all brands of SYM
pathizers to do is to grant to our
neighbors and fellow men the same
rights that we take for ourselves,
namely, freedom of thought, free
dom of sympathy, and freedom of de-
cent discussion.
When it comes to trouble between
this nation and Germany or England
or any European power engaged in
the present war, our individual
rights and limitations are much mar
rover. In choosing between Uncle
Sam and Germany or England or any
European power, there is no choice.
We must all be Americans without
hyphens. No one can serve two mas
tiers. If we think more of Europe
than we do of the United States, the
thing to do is to renounce our citi-
zenship, give up our homes, farms,
and business, furnished by free
and go to Europe. The
fighting is good over there, no mat
ter from what angle man wishes to
take a hand, and actions speak loud
er than words. There is no room in
this country for Copperheadism, and
the Copperhead will receive no more
respect now than he did in Civil
War days.

Figures recently compiled by var

zone show the following approximate
results: 100000 men have been
killed, 100000 have been wound
ed, 100000 have been taken pris-
oners. Half billion ton of merchant
has been sunk, s15,0O0,-
100000 in money has been expended
and another 100000 worth
of property has been destroyed. Some
authorities insist that the war has
only fairly got started and that the
of men killed will reach s.
100000 and that from 100000 to
2O,000,O00 will be wounded. How
ever, there is some hope that the
war may end soon.
