Trainers Of Program
1t is said to have been pointed out to
Germany and Austria that the Italian
program has not been framed by the
present cabinet which might be altered
with change in government, but is
based upon the unanimous and insistent
demands Of the country. to which the
caboinet must submit or be removed
from office. Foreign Minister Sonnino is

obstinately the diplomatic efforts Of
Prince Won Buelow. the German ambas-

Nothing Done
Prince Won Buelow still is striving to
induce Austria to make concessions and
prevent Italy from becoming one OF the
belligerents.
A member of the government on the

that article. Every country on the
globe has to pay premium on the
American dollar, and it seems quite
certain that some of the countries now
at war will have to resort in a rather
large way to America for the equiva-
lent Of credit.
Ordinarily gold imports are con-
structive factor in the securities mar

Rarely has the action of foreign ex-
change been so closely watched and
it was only when sterling rallied from
the lowest point on record that the de-

ers are adverse to further imports of
gold, because funds are already in SUI
perabundant supply, yet the movement
from Canada continues in heavy vol

WYOMING ROADS BETTER THAN IOWA.

For six months now, half OF a year,
Iowa has endured q mud embargo on
business, farmers have been marooned
at home and women and children have
been imprisoned in the solitude OF farm
life while Wyoming, the frontier, has
been getting out of the mud. In
Sweetwater county the Lincoln High
way is 152 miles long and that altho
the county has a total population of
only 10000 yet 100000 worth of road
Improvement has been put on this sec
ton during the last twelve months.
The bridge and culvert work has bsen
done by the counties in most in
stances and the road improvement by
the ranches. Forty thousand dollars
worth Of work has been done on the
Lincoln Highway in Carbon county.
Here they now have bridges where
there never were any before and the
irrigating bitches have been culverted.
nj both Carbon and Sweetwa;er coun
ties the county commissioners have
purchased enameled steels signs for
the marking of the Highway.
They have better roads in Wyoming
right now than in many parts OF Hi
nois and Iowa.

LAFE AND THE eoyERnoRsHlp.

EA-SsnalOr Lafayette Dung VIII not
be candidate for governor. While no
announcement of his lack of intent TO
ENTER politics as candidate has
been made, it is not the less true that
Mr.. Young wouldn't touch it with a
ten-foot pole Despite the many fiat
tering references to him as a possible
candidate, 1t is known that he has no
intention of making the race.
The inference is that while Lafe has
not lost his interest in state politics,
he has quit candidating His exper-
fences in that line have taught him
that fine words butter few parsnips
among politicians and that clamo- and
assurances are not always coined into
votes. Moreover 1t is safe to assume
that LATE has learned that he can have
much better time outside than in
side the battle royals of conflicting
candidates.. He has built up a fine
business, is free to go and come as he
chooses, TO follow wars if he will, seek
comfort and satisfy interest as he sees
fit. Furthermore, those who formerly
found Mr.. Young extremely available
when battle was to be fought and
the brunt sustained have nothing COM
ing from him. He gave them the best
he had and received the least they
could give
To stay out Of the coming riot is the
wise conclusion of mature Judgment
1t is better to sit on the platform with
the speakers than to lead the band as
drum major, less spectacular to be
sure. but vastly more satisfactory at
the end Of the day when WEAKNESS
and blisters are to be reckoned with.
1t is better to be judge and adjudicator
than to be party to the suit, better
to choose the tune than to play the
cy1nbals in the band.
Mr.. Young has qualities that would
be Of large service in the governor
ship. He has another useful quality
that Of dScernment.

It was not the altogether unani-
nous opinion OF the friends OF saloon
banishment that the mulct law should
be repealed at this past session Of the
legislature. But conditions arose MAX
ing 1t impossible to do other than was
done. And now or later 1t was only q
matter Of time. for q sentiment was
forming that was bound to be ex-
pressed.
But the mulct law was repealed. The
saloon is to go on January next. The
question before the state Is whether
an air of f1nality is to attend the going,
or whether because Of the rivalries OF
politics, we are to have another period
of uncertainty, OF lax enforcement. OF
bootlegging, and general dissatisfac-
ton. And that question is to be an
swered by the nominations that will be
made in the June primaries.
The situation is illustrated in the
experiences of Des Moines and Water
loo. In Des Moines it was recognized
that the fight was over. In Waterloo
everybody feared or expected a rever-
sion of sentiment. In Des Moines the
change was made without enough ex-
element to suggest to the casual pass
erby that there had been change at
ALL In Waterloo the city was torn
with dissension from the moment the
court decreed the insufficiency of the
old petition of consent.
Iowa can enjoy the experience Of
Des Moines or the state can be dis
tracted with the experience OF Water
loo, and it lies wholly with the news
papers of the state and the voters at
the primaries Is say which. Candi-
dates for governor, lieutenant gov
ernor and attorney general may be
named whose nominations will set the
seal of finality on the legislation of last
winter. On the other hand. candidates
for these offices may be named whose
presence on the ticket will be notice of
an open back door. with everything
done TO disparage support of the con-
stitutional amendment.
The Register and Leader, confident
that the movement against the saloon
the nation over. and the world over
for that matter, will go forward and
not back. that nothing permanent can
be gained for the saloon interest by
shilly shallying with the situation, can
not bring itself 10 believe that any
chance whatever should be taken about
"buttoning up what has already been
initiated. Now it the time to settle the
matter once for all, have it over with,
and move on to other things.
Even II there were no other reason
for this course. the mere fact that it
is the only course that will give the
state any peace. or get us anywhere.
should be enough. Nobody can ex-
plain to himself why Iowa should hold
any further debate over the saloon. or
nominate a ticket next year that is
open to the suspicion OF being on the
saloon issue. We have had the matter
up, we have declared final judgment,
there is no reason why execution
should not issue.

Well, let's go after the presidenc,
then Heave yo, all together now!
Will the fact that your boys mus
have good teeth to be soldiers have
any effect on the movement to intro

You'd almost think that Woodrow

tary in hooker of grape juice.
When one family out of every six
in Iowa has an auto and the others are
only waiting for another cut in prices
seems like it was time to begin think
ing Of real roads, don't you think?
When those consolidated schools are
making good scholars and good farm
ers at the same time, those who are
opposing them will wonder why on
earth they did it.
Take note of that street car strike
and the manner in which public
opinion Influenced it. When public
opinion gets upon its hind legs and
declares itself, arbitration comes much
easier to both sides of the dispute. The
fact is that the public utilities belong
to the public. They are only lent and
farmed out to private ownership. When
we get ready to insist that all such
disputes shall be settled by arbitration
they will be settled that way without
any serious thought of strikes and
lockouts. In the last analysis the folks
are the people.
Nevertheless the bad weather this
spring hasn't cost Iowa one tenth of
what the short lease and the soil rob-
Der costs every year. The good Lord, of

ALLEN SHOULD WITHDRAW.
TSheldon Mail

Senator Joseph II. Allen. has made
definite announcement that he intends
nomination for the governorship be-
fore the primaries. II has been known
to enter the race for the republican
for some time that Mr.. Allen contem-
plated this move. but the friends OF
law enforcement in this state have
been hoping that he would not finally
conclude to make the run. This leaves
three men who have made formal
statement OF their intentions to seek
the governorship Lieutenant Governor
Harding, Attorney General Cosson and
Senator Allen. The former is lined
with the vets and the latter two with
the drys. The matter standing in that
form would mean that the vets would
stand by the banner of Harding and
the drys would split over Cosson and
Allen. This must not be allowed or
Harding will be sure winner in the
primary. The vets are using more
discretion than the drys
OF the two dry candidates Cosson,
just at this time, seems to this paper
to be the logical man. The campaign
will be largely along the line of law
enforcement and in that particular
Cosson has been strong. The last
legislature enacted several laws which
are not in harmony with the senti-
ments of Mr.. Harding. 1t seems that
Mr.. Cosson is peculiarly fitted TO fill
the governors chair at this period.
1t would be but a carrying out of what
the state last winter started to do. The
election of Harding would be back
ward step which should be avoided.
Mr.. Allen should see the seriousness
of the occasion and throw his in
Auences for Mr., Cosson. He stands
very little chance Of being nominated
in any event and his candidacy will
but embarrass the cause of law en-
forcement and probably defeat it en-
tirelv

JOE ALIENS CANDIDACY.
rHumholdf Renlhlican.l


Joe Allen. senator from this district
to the state legislature, is candidate
for governor Of the state. For several
years Senator Allen has been building
his political fences along this line.
His candidacy Just at this time must
clash to some extent with that of Cos
son, for the two men stand practically
for the same thing, and will be OPP
posed by a candidate backed by the
liquor interests. If Allen and Cosson
will divide the dry support, the wet
representative should have little diff
Guilty in landing the nomination.
This portion of the state feels the
friendliest interests in Mr.. Allen and
will do its best in his support, but it is
unfortunate that his candidacy clashes
with another aspirant whose principles
are identical with his own.

much to stimulate confidence anew,
