We pray too little face to face
with God each day. Looking back
at the end, suspect there will be
great grief for our sins of omission
omission to get from God what we
might have had by praying.-An-
drew A. Banor.
The Germans have sunk another
Holland ship and the dutch are get
ting their backs up.
Senator Joe Allen is acting just
like man who would not be averse
to being governor of Iowa. .,
If, after the cruel war is over, all
the kings are taken out of the deck
the terrible conflict will be worth all
it cost, and a whole lot more.
Up at Algona they have just elect
ed q mayor for the fifth term. Here
in Webster City a man does pretty
well if he lives through one term.
Do you know what is the best
thing out of doors upon this planet?
Well, it is Iowa land. There can be
no serious dispute upon this propo-
sition.
Well, of course, the prophets who
predicted at the beginning of the
European war that it would close be-
fore December first meant December
first, nineteen hundred fifteen.
From some sections of the state
come reports that the recent cleo
ton of county superintendent de-
veloped some of the finest political
tricks known to the art.
Jess Willard, the new champion
bruiser, doesn't use alcoholic drinks
in any manner, according to press
reports. That means that he will
last longer in the prize ring than
will the booze fighters.
How can the democrats write a
platform without viewing with
alarm" existing administration
faults? That is a problem that will
have to be met by the various demo
cratic conventions next year.
It is suspected that King George
will not burn all the bridges behind
him. 1t is limited that he will have
the foresight to make it possible to
secure wee nip in the event of be-
coming victim of snake bite. Gen.
Grant always took that precaution.
Jack Dalton seems to be having
enough trouble at present to salts
~ the most belligerent. On top of
of Secretary Bryan's insistence that
the Iowa democracy shall become a
prohibitogy party, Mr.. Dalton has a
$4,000 libel suit on his hands.
It is seldom that Iowa editors
are united upon any subject, but
there doesn't seem to be a dissent
ing vote to the statement OF the
Clinton Herald that there are doz-
ems of weeklies in Iowa with better
editorial pages than the Chicago pa
pers afford" s.
Wonder if Secretary Bryan doesn't
suspect that his friends are a little
backward in urging President Will
son to stick to the Baltimore plat
form, especially to that plank de-
claring against second term? The
president himself seems to have for
gotten all about it.
Democratic papers that had so
much fun criticising such men as
Roosevelt, Taft, Mckinley and Cum
minis are showing irritation over the
criticisms of Secretary Bryan. The
spear is now in the hands of the
other fellows and it still makes a

 IN SOUTH AUSTRIA

VIENNA. May 29.--The government proclaims stern martial law in all southern Austrian provinces which are inhabited largely by people of Italian descent.

One of the surprising things de- veloped in the war thus far is the eX- cellent physical condition of the French soldiers. the men called to the eolors after some years of civil life. So far from being the decadent nation. phy- sicaiiy. which has been assumed, the French of today are showing a better physique and higher qualities of strength and endurance than they eyer did before.
 The fine condition of the French troops is not the product of the few weeks or months of training which they have received as soldiers. It

But the ar rival of the first boats with their cargo of human freight bearing fresh from that great beyond new thoughts, new opinions. new manners. brings us once again in touch with the mighty heart beat of humanity and brings also the realization that we belong after all to that boundless mass of existence com posing the busy outside world.

Work OF Grand jury.
That the grand jury has been do
ing some active investigating along
some lines was generally believed to-
day AT noon, from the fact that that
body had been quite busy during tho
past four and twenty hours. and some
witnesses had been examined. II
was generally believed that some in
vestigation was made of the sensa
tional affair OF William ID. Kaufman
and the New York department store.
There were also reports 10 the eff
feet that there was a case OF q sa-
being accused of selling
liquor TO a man whose name had been
posted as that of an habitual drunk
ard, and further that there was some
thing doing in the way of looking
into complaints of local people being
''stung" by vendors of bad stocks.
