THE LESSON OF EMERGENCY.

| England Is short of ammunition.
When the Germans turn from the
Galician corner to the west line to re-
peat the crushing drive which brought
success in the northeast the British
| forces will have need Of full supply
OF ammunition. So the new minister Of
| munitions brings forward a bill which
| makes strikes and lockouts Illegal pro-
vides for compulsory arbitration;
limits the profits Of employers; creates
volunteer organization of workmen
pledged to go wherever they are
wanted.
When a strike breaks out in America
| the saloons are closed by civic au-
| thority. We have come to the con-
clusion here that if the closing of the
saloon is a good thing in emergency
| its abolition as a factor of trouble and
poverty and riot is a sensible propo-
sition for every day.
If law making strikes and lockouts
Illegal. limiting profits and forcing bet
ter distribution of the profits Of pro-
duction and making arbitration COM
pulsory is good thing in the
emergency of war why isn't it a good
thing in peace. In these days of
division OF labor and mutual inter
dependence every day is an emergency
whether in peace or in war. Strikes
and lockouts are destructive whether
they threaten immediate or future dis
aster. national or individual. The
woman who weeps and the children
who starve, suffer the same agony in
either case. Failure in business is
failure whether it results from cir
cumstances OF national or industrial
warfare. The emergency is the greater
when nation fights for its life, but is
distinctive rather than different.
Calanities teach. We learn from
burned fingers TO avoid fire. Some
times it needs stress and fear and
famine TO teach an open lesson. The
war with its horrors of retrogression
has yet within it the germ Of progress.

BUILDING HOTELS.


There are two ways of building a
hotel. The one is for group of local
men with money to build the institu-
ton for the benefit of their home town
because they take pride in the city
where they have made their money,
and the other way is for the commune
ty to sell stock by vigorous soliciting
so that large number of the business
men of the community may be direct
~ interested in the hotel. Both plans
are good but it is much easier for a
city if capitalists erect the hotel. There
is no less of city pride in it for that
reason. Ottumwa. however, is deter
mined to have new hotel that will be
in keeping with the growth of the city
and the people there are being asked
TO invest in stock. 1t is significant of
the need of a hotel in that city that
the travelling men whose homes are in
Ottumwa have organized a committee
to sell stock. If there is any class of
men who know whether Ottumwa
needs new hotel it is the travelling
men. And the very fact that these
men have decided 10 assist to raise
the money for the new structure ought
to be sufficient proof to hesitating OF
tumwans that their city needs the new
hotel,

THE LIFE THAT WINS.

The winner of the Indianapolis

miles an hour. under conditions which
tested his ability to think and act not
only correctly but instantly, to have
an absolutely steady nerve and cool,
clear head. The secret? Ralph de
Palma, who did this feat, attributes it
to the fact that he lives life of abso-
lutte freedom from dissipation of any
kind and he never drinks alcoholic liq-
uors.
Hugh Jennings, manager of the De-
troit Tigers, writes this for a sport
page:
There is a mistaken notion in the
minds OF some people that a manager
does not care what his players do off
the diamond, so they give good ac-
count of themselves in the game. That
is nonsense a manager can go to bed
with the chickens and tell next morn
ing which of his players were out late
the night before. The team that has a
few ''lusherS" on its roster seldom gets
a high place in the race.

on one team is baseball history. We're
all total abstainers. Ty Cobb, the
most famous batsman in the country,
refuses to drink because it "dims" his
batting eye and makes him misjudse
balls. and muddles his thinking.
Plenty of things may keep man
down. and man may also prove SUI
perior to almost any kind of illness or
announcement. but the one thing
which always keeps a man down. and
which no man ever was able to beat,
is the use of liquir and the dissipation
that generally accompanies it. 1t is
just as blighting in its effect upon the
mechanic, the clerk, the professional
man and the business man as 1t is
upon the motor racer and the baseball
PLAYER: the only difference is their
work is such that they notice the eff
feet instantly.

Down on the farm.

California has furnished another in
stance Of comparison between that
state of climate and earthquakes and
Iowa. The farther we go and the more
we learn the better Iowa shows up by
comparison. A little wet and unseason-
able weather is one thing. An earth
quake with It's destruction and its
terror Is another and vastly different.
Iowa is no playground. 1t is a work
shop. Nowhere do men work harder
and longer hours for better returns
than in the corn country. And Iowa
is the heart and core and cream of the
corn country. The misfortunes of others
should merely by comparison and par
example bring apprecia- on of our own
mercies and advantages. And Iowa
hard-working, prosperous. thrifty Iowa
is a land Of hard work and hopeful
ness and certainties. 1t pays what it
promises and pays on the nail. The
hand Of providence raises and lifts
always in Iowa: it never strikes. While
other sections are crippled, sore under
the stroke OF circumstances, the corn
country remains prosperous. The auto
statesmen pack their grips and hike for
the corn country. The commercial
agencies write special reports of pros
perity for the corn country When the
orange belt and the cotton districts and
the industrial east are OIL their uppers
the corn country goes right on buying
shoes. We may give fancy names to
other sections, call them gardens of the
gods, and American Italys and switzer-
lands and the like but the real garden
of the gods is within the thirty five inch
rain belt and Iowa is the centrally
throned queen Of that. OF course we
get up early and work late, but we build
barns and know that they will be there

corn with the certainty that we shall

is to be found with that Two cents a
mile for good service is cheap enough
Perhaps Des Moines would prefer a
cheaper rate whatever the service for
Des Moines is primarily interested In
the crowds. 1t wants large number
of persons in the city. But the upstate
people who visit the fair are not in
sistent upon cheaper rates but on de-
cent service. They are willing to pay
the price but they want some part of
what they pay for beyond the mere
mileage of transportation.
Des Moines is sensibly businesslike
when she started this. The days are
past when the Iowa public could be
damned into any sort Of antiquated
and uncomfortable car and forced to
suffocate and ride standing A contin-
uation of such policy will simply
keep people away from the fair and
send them elsewhere where they may

OFF YEAR POLITICS.


The newspapers of Iowa are engaged

the party nominations Will be made at
the primaries Every detail of every
issue will have 10 be thrashed out
after the beginning of the new year.
If all are thrashed out now only old
straw will be left to go over when the
time for really effective debate comes.
Moreover. circumstances are not now
favorable for solving the problem OF
June, 1915. The board is not set. Only
one candidate for the republican nom
nation is in the field There probably
viii be no other republican candidates.
and no democratic candidates. an
nounced until next year.
The premature discussion was start
ed by the unprecedentedly early formal
announcement of the candidacy of
Senator Allen. The Pocahontas mans
announcement did not mean that he
expected or wanted the fgh, to begin
now aad run through all summer and
fail and winter preliminary to the
really important operations of next
spring. Senator Allen got his an
| nouncenent in early for strategic rea-
sons He foresaw movement to freeze
him out and he got his candidacy on
file as an emphatic notification that
there would be nothing doing along
that line. There being no reason why
other candidates should hurry their
announcements, they will not do so.
After the first OF the year other hats
will begin flying into the ring beside
Senator Aliens. Then it will be time
enough to have the battle royal II we
are 10 have a battle royal.
AS it now appears, it would be dis
tinctly TO the advantage of the re-
united republican party if it could go
into the hard battle against the ma
tional administration party in presi-
Dental year without serious factional
division. 1t does not now appear that
the fact that Iowa is to have repub-
lican presidential candidate will pro-
yoke a renewal of organized hostilities
along the old factional fighting line.
To this newspaper it seems rather i'm :
portant that nothing be done TO re-
place it with a new disorganizing and
disrupting influence. Now is good
time for republicans to keep cool and
let things develop without bidding for
trouble within the party. If the ma
tional administration has good luck
with its foreign policies the Iowa re-
publicans may need every vote they
can muster to put over their state
ticket next year Meanwhile, why in
dulge in boat-rocking that is likely to
send a lot of perfectly good republican
voters overheard?
1t isn't as if there weren't other
things to talk about. For instance.
there is the war, Mexico. Japan, peace,
international law, disarmament, the
Frank case, the Thaw case, Bryan,
Roosevelt, the decline OF baseball, hard
roads, census statistics, the crop out
look. prohibition, equal suffrage, presi-
! Dental primaries. the Chicago building
strike. the low price Of gasolene. the
little Ford, the grandfathers' clause,
golf, law and the McAdoo baby, and
others too numerous to mention. Let's
talk about some of them for while.
