Senator Kenyon has been viewing
the scenery in northeastern Iowa
and thinks it so charming that he
is in favor of the government buy
ing a big tract for a national park.
1t has been claimed by travellers who
have been over large portion of the
United States that there are few
spots in the entire country more
beautiful, especially in the summer
season, than some sections of north

At recent meeting in Chicago
the Illinois daily newspaper associa-
ton unanimously passed a resolu-
tion to adopt the simplitied spelling
of the twelve national education as
ISOLATION words as follows: Tho for
though, ,altho for although, thru for
through, thruout for throughout,
thoro for thorough, thoroly for thor
oughly, thorofare for thoroughfare,
catalog for catalogue, decalog for
decalogue, prolog for prologue, ped
agog for pedagogue, program for
programme. "A number Of other edi-
torial associations have taken SINH
lar action. The government, too. is
sending out bulletins employing
these forms. 1t is step in the
right direction. Only another illus
tration that Rooseyelt's idea of the
shorter system was correct, but he
was roundly criticised for advocat-
ing 1t while he was president.

Some students of political econ
omy are predicting that wave Of
socialism will engulf Europe after
the war is over and that there will
be more republics than there were
when the war began. No doubt
this matter is causing some of the
crowned heads no little uneasiness.

People who are opposed to uniyer

not want to vote and will not vote
received a solar plexus blow by tn
example of the women at the recon
special election in Fort Dodge
There were approximately 4,50'
votes cast, the men casting $500
and the women 1000. This proves
that the women want to vote whel
there is anything Of Importance In

a matter Of time, and comparative
ly short time at that, when the WON

past ten years, when the city had
voting strength Of at least thous

course, that the men didn't want TIL

that there was. no contest on ant

Fifty crippled children are now
being treated at Iowa City under the
Perkins law. When these children
grow to manhood and womanhood
and understand what has been done
for them they ought to appreciate it,
and no doubt will. Money expended
in making strong men and women
mentally or physically-is well ex-
pended and no taxpayer who is made
LOT the right kind of stuff will
complain. In fact few taxpayers
now complain at the economical and
wise expenditure of public funds.
But they do complain, and they
ought to, at useless waste and ex-
,travagance. The discriminating
taxpayer is not easily fooled and he
lis not deferred from commencing
the worthy and condemning the un-
worthy by the charge of kicker SO
often put forward by men who hope
to profit by extravaganza. Nobody
has been heard to complain OF the
Perkins law, nor of the law that au-
thorizes the pensioning of widows
who have small children to supper.

Perhaps it is fortunate that Will

that had Roosevelt been in the presi-

Americans would have lost their
lives by the blowing up of passenger

be wrong, but nobody will ever know
whether it is or not.

1t is often charged that the manu-
facturcrs of munitions Of war try to
get this country into trouble with
other nations, hoping to profit by the
sale of their wares. This charge is
probably true. However, it would
be easy for congress to overcome
this. II the government would build
and operate its own factories for the
manufacture of ammunition and 9TH
er war materials, including ships,
submarines, aeroplanes, etc, there
would be no incentive for private
companies and individuals to try to
increase the use of these things. Sec
rotary Daniels has gone on record in
favor of such movement and Sena-
tor Cummins has indicated that he
will support it.

1t lis mighty good thing for the
state that John j. Hamilton was de-
feated for governor last year. He
has written a letter advocating the
pardon Of Charles Thomas Of Des
Moines, convicted some years ago Of
the murder of Mabel Scofield in that
city, and trying to shoulder a part
of the blame for Thomas act upon
the community. 1t is the old story
OF criminal not being responsible
for what he does. Perhaps Thomas
should be pardoned. That is not the
question. But he should not be par
doned upon the theory that the peo-
pie of Des Moines were or are in
any manner whatever to blame for
the brutal murder of Mabel Scofield,
which crime shocked the state when
lit was committed.
Nicaragua wants to sell her little

New York, Sept. 24-Ralph De Palma, one of the drivers entered in the Astor Cup race at the Sheeps head Bay Motor speedway on Oct. 2, is one Of the best known drivers in the country, but it is not generally known that he started life as bar Der.
 Ralph was born in Italy but came to this country wien just mere lad. For years he worked as barper, and he was a good one, too, he says; and can still handle razor with deXterity.
 However his love of adventure soon led him away from the reclin ing chair, the lather and the strop, and lie entered the bicycle racing game when that sport was at it's height. From that to the motor- cycle was but short stride and then came his first auto race behind the wheel of the old Fiat Cyclone, in which Cedrino was killed. Ralph started cut on a campaign of the dirt tracks and at one time held ev cry record from the one mile tn twenty-five.
 He has had more accidents than any other living driver. His first bad spill was at Danbury, Conn.,, in the same Fiat Cyclone and his most memorable accident was at Milwau- kee few years ago, when he bu2p ed into the rear of Caleb Bragg's Fiat and landed in the ditch With the heavy Mercedes on top of him.
 De Palma won the classic Wander bilt cup race twice and has four vic tories On the Elgin course to his credit. He also won the last 300 mile race at Indianapolis in thrilling contest With Dario Resta.
