HOW GREAT GRANDMA GOT IN.

! Those pictures of -Four Generations
of Iowans'' seem to lack face. Grand
father isn't there
Perhaps grandfather refused to have
his picture took But it is more likely
| that grandfather has gone over to the
| majority. There are more widowed
grandmothers than widower grand
! fathers. To be sure more widowers
seek and find second wives than widows
| find husbands. Ii does not follow that
| the ladies are the less inclined TO
change from widowhood 10 the blessed
state or matrimony, but the widower
has advantages unnecessary Of enum-
Grafton. At that more women survive
10 extreme old age than men. Per
hapS that is the main reason that
grandfather doesn't get into the pic
, ture with The sossle eyed treasure on
the lap OF his great granddaughter.
If women live longer they deserve
TO. Comparatively few women drink
hard liquor or smoke ten heavy cigars
a day and one hardly ever sees a lady
chewing tobacco. She doesn't usually
stay out late nights, let herself in with
latch key and sneak up stairs with
stocking-footed stealth. She doesn't
usually overfeed. Her horror Of flesh"
keeps her from gluetony, while mere
man seems 10 take pride in the ro-
tundity of q bay window Her life is
usually better ordered. And so grand
ma sits prinly in the picture where
grandpa isn't.
OF course, now that smoking and
drinking are, according TO the state
ments OF reformers OF the 400" be-
coming common in the upper circles,
it may be that the custom shall spread
sufficiently 10 keep grandma out Also
now that extreme fashion requires that
some more or less important part shall
be surgically severed, that may short
en- the feminine life and great grand
mother fade from the family cut of the
future. But as things stand, the male
part OF this human outfi, may take a
lesson from the persistence with which
great grandma sticks in the pictures Of
four generations. She has been thrifty
with her life account, saving. and has
money in the bank. Her manner of
life has been SO much collateral.
Moral-If you want 70 be in the pic
tuCe, be as decent as your wife.

THE MAIN ISSUE

The Dubuque Tines-Journal il ex-
ercised over the comment Upon the
coming primary. 1t fears shat the
| liquor question is being made the
| leading issue in the :,ext campaign.
Let the Times-Journal calm itself.
The question Of law enforcement
which just at present in the public
mind centers most directly upon the
liquor question will not be made the
leading issue 1t is. Beyond doubt
more voters will give that question
more serious consideration than any
other which is likely to become live
issue.
The Tines-Journal, published in Du-
buque, should circulate around among
its population Of whom 50 per cent
signed saloon petitions and listen to
the conversation Of that goodly number
Of It's people who are interested in the
traffic from the standpoints of dis
penser and consumer Would the I'll
have the nerve or assurance 10 assert
that those interests will not make
stand of candidates on the liquor cues
ton the vital test? Isn't IL plain fact
that the candidates pronunciation of
that shibboleth must be made with a
thick tongue IL he Is to receive the
slightest consideration from that ele-
ment? Isn't it a fact that an attor-
| ney general who was pledged TO nuIlify
SO far as he possibly could the pro-
hibitory law passed last winter would
get every liquor selling and beer
swilling vote in Dubuque In short
isn't the liquor question already the
main Issue with the wet crowd? Hasn't
it always been the main issue? Isn't
| II absolutely true that pronounced
| advocate Of complete enforcement Of
the liquor laws would stand as much
show for election there as a negro TO
carry Mississippi for governor?
| Still, the Dubuque Times journal,
| following the passage Of the law wrote
itself into a demand for enforcement
| OF the law. Surely it knew that the
fight was still on and that the climax
OF the struggle remained for the next
campaign to see. There is no occa-
sion to cry peace" peace" when
there Is no peace.
There is no use trying to dodge the
devil around stump. The wet and
dry alignment will be the real lines
Of battle next campaign. Whatever
other issues that are or shall arise
while perhaps not subsidiary to the
liquor issue they will be dependen.
upon that alignment The vets will
strive to solidify the disgruntied OF all
factions into an army with a wet OBJ
jective. The drys must in defense OF
what they have gained hold thei.
trenches. It is the crisis Of the Ions
battle.
The Times-jouTna: VII VII have 10 nsS
or cut bait. It can not be half we,
and half dry. II II means what 1t an.
nounced as to the enforcement Of tn.
Iprohibitory law It should shoulder a
musket-for it is question of musket.
and not Of diplomacy now.

1wE MINISTER AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The Sioux City News in local item
states that REV. Wallace N. Short,
pastor of the Central church which
meetc in theater, Is now engaged In
liquor fight in Minnesota making
speeches in behalf Of the liquor inter-
ests." The News says he Is being
billed as the minister who Is opposed
to prohibition" The News states that
the information is secured from let
! tiers and kilograms to Sioux City peo-
pie asking whether his church record
| is as good as the advance appearance
of his advertisements claim, and re-
calls that Mr.. Short was voted out Of
| his pastorate at the First Congrega-
tional church of Sioux City and started
a church Of his own in a theater.
| A local as we'll as general interest
attaches to the story of Mr.. Shorts al
legged campaigning in the interests OF
saloons and liquor traffic. Mr.. Short
signed the saloon petition at Sioux
| City. His church by resolution and
very properly repudiated the action OF
its pastor. Mr.. Short, who is man OF
intellectual! briliancy, had been Sc
lected to deliver the principal sermon
a 1.-THE meeting of the state conference
of his church which was held at Mar
shalltown. Protest arose and he found
1t convenient to be absent. AT that con-
ference a resolution dealt with the
question of Congregational ministers
and the saloon petitions. 1t was de-
clared after debate and amid much
heat that such action by such a minis
ter was contrary to the spirit of the
church and inimical to the interests of
religion and morality.
One leading minister who bitterly
opposed the passage Of that resolution
is today first assistant to Billy" sun
day. II is safe to say that he would
support instead Of oppose similar
resolution. Another very prominent
minister who was as bitterly opposed
and plain spoken in his bitterness
found himself in the midst Of mighty
fight against the saloon at Des Mo!nes.
He fought with his people. Not that
their opposition was effective or espe-
cially notable except as that Of leading
ministers Of an evangelical church for
the resolution passed with but nineteen
votes against It. The point is that
those opponents have aligned them
selves with the march of the church
and of human progress and intelligent
morality.
That leaves the other man-where?
II also brings up the resolution again.
Is such action of a minister Of such
a church opposed to the spirit of the
church and inimical to the progress OF
religion and morality? And If the
question is to be answered in the af-
tirmarive where does the answer leave
the churches to which such ministers
belong?

Merchants generally regard the mail
order houses as jitneys Of the worst
kind. They complaint that they take
the cash trade and let them have the
credit business. They are as angry
at these mail order houses az the street
car people are at the jitneys. But II
the retail merchants had long ago
served the public to the best Of their
ability. and had won their confidence
the mail order houses would never
have started. If they would reform

farmers into their confidence. and
show them that they could do as we'll

We are not discussing the origin OF
