TILE TIME TO HIT GRAFT.

lholOuN lily JOuTIldl.l
Really the time for the public to do
the most effective work for the sup
preston of graft is when it Is elect
ing officers to attend to the public
business under re regulations pro-
vided by law. The shortest cut to
honest administration Of the law is to
elect honest men to administered The
surest way to encourage graft Is to
elect men whose character Is such as
to warrant presumption of lax enforce
ment Of law. And yet in political
campaign in the average American
city nothing appears to be more diff
cult than to secure the election OF
candidates committed to policy OF
strict law enforcement = candidates
whose personal character stands as
permanent guaranty against even the
shadow of suspicion Of graft.
These are lessons the public is slow
about learning. When it has learned
them thoroughly there will be no more
winkng at law violations and no more
federation of the graft that is an in
evitable accompaniment of such toler-
alton. This result need not be expected
this year or next year or in the year
thereafter. But progress is being
steadily made. The public is prickins
up it's ears and taking notice oftener
than it used to do.

IOWA INDUSTRIES.


The war has proved to this country
| that Investigation of industries is a
good thing. Even as it is there are
some things, such as dye stuffs, that
are not made here in sufficient guam
titles. If there is to be a diversilca-
ton of industry, manufacturers must
be given a fair field and must not be
Handicapped by legislation. This is
inst as true in one state as it is in
the country as whole.
Iowa is gradually developing man
ufacturing business. 1t has been $40"
work because of the commercial ad-
vantages enjoyed by eastern states.
But it is often cheaper to haul raw
material a long distance than to ship
the finished product a long distance to
the buyer. Factories that make goods
sold in Iowa can do better here IN
Iowa, other things being equal.
1t is a good thing for the Iowa farm
ers to have a larger home market
for farm products Factories employ
people who must buy what the farmer
produces. AS more factories develop
here more will be established to take
what the farmer has to sell.
But Iowa will not become factory
state OF first rate importance " the
legislature every two years continues
to pile restriction upon RESTRICTION on
factories. Proposals for numerous
inspections for fees. merely make
new Jobs without accomplishing much.
Fixing the conditions of employment
by law will drive some industries 10
states where the laws are more ND.
eral. There ought to be a carelu
sitting of bills at Des Moines to make
sure that only those regulations that
are absolutely necessary get thru.
1t is to the interest of the farmers
as well as to the interest OF the man
ufacturers to make sure that no IN
Justice is done to any Iowa industry.

As TO BOYS AND GIRLS.

Why are girls better than boys!
They're raised better. Mother does it.
The boys grow up.-N1anson Democrat.
But are the girls SO much better than
the boys and is it a matter of mother S
training with the girl more than with
the boy? Our boys are getting plenty
of feminine influences, mother at home,
the teachers in school and that inf1u-
entail feminine force that begins to
act on the young man shortly after he
dons long trousers and begins to
shave. During the adolescent period
the influence and training of boys is
generally attended to by women. 1t is
only after he acquires the toga virilis
that he begins to act up. or course
ne is rough and rude III spots like every
male animal, he hates to wash his
neck and ears and his table manners
are often something fierce but he
doesn't attempt to be devil in his
own home town until he begins to
think himself a man.
Perhaps the reason that girls are
better than boys traces back to the
double standard in common use in
social measurement. The man gets
away with it where the woman in the
case becomes a social outcast. The boy
is permitted leeway which would COM
pletely ostracise a girl If she were to
attempt it. And here again comes in
the feminine influence. Thompson can
raise ali manner OF ilades OF al sorts
and still be received with smiles. But
when Mrs. Thompson breaks thru con-
ventions and moral laws. she hangs a
social milestone around her neck.
Jones, whose defsiiictt;;oGs ere common
property passes the group on the street
and in the club without drawing the
remarks or the narrow lidded looks
that follow the woman who may be in
fnitely less culpable than himself.
| Perhaps If we, men and women,
| held the same moral and social laws
and estimates Of men and Of women
we should find the boys and the men
much better" Perhaps there wouldn't
be so much difference as to decency
THE boys grow up but they grow up
! to understand that their responsible
ties are different under the common
judgment. than those Of women. IPsr-

FISH OR CUT BAIT.

President Wilson has sent warning
note TO Carranza The reports say
that it is practically a demand for i'm
provement of conditions in the City of
Mexico and denotes an entire change
of policy of the administration towards
the Mexican situation.
Well, suppose Carranza ignores the
note or is incapable Of amending the
terrible conditions that exist not only
in the City Of Mexico but elsewhere in
Mexico? Then what will the admins
tration do? 1t will be recalled that the
administration made a demand upon
Mexico of a salute to the flag, LANDED
at Vera Cruz and required the assist
ance of certain South American dele
gates to assist in letting loose. In
event of refusal or inattention what
then? What are We going to do about
it?
Conditions in Mexico are coming to
the pass that if the United States does
nothing some other nation will We
should long ago have been forced to
meet this condition had not other pow
erful nations been busy with each 9TH
ers throats. When the situation be-
comes so serious that representatives
Of foreign governments desert the cap
ital Of Mexico, interference from some
source may be expected. And inter
ference from any other nation but this
is precisely what the United States
does not want. 1t begins to look as
tho the Monroe doctrine would have
to fish or cut bait.

PUTTING ON THE FINISH

New bills on temperance came into
the senate yesterday to supply the
places left vacant by bills reported out
to be killed. The new bills are the
result of caucus Of drys and finish
the dry program with the exception Of
which are being attended to in bills
under preparation. There are ten of the
new enforcement bills and they seem to
provide fairly for the conditions which
will obtain after the repeal of the mulct.
Provision is made for daily record of all
liquor shipments by common carriers,
liquors for illega! purposes, peniten-
tiary for second offense of violating in
functions, classifying liquor solicitors,
as bootleggers, etc., etc.
The probabilities are that the points
enumerated will be incorporated into
law. The dry senate has the upper
hand The house is depending upon the
senate for legislation which it has much
at heart and having caucussed into an
agreement the senate drys are likely
to insist upon the dry measures as a
quid pro quo from the house. Aside
from that the house itself is strong for
temperance legislation and having
passed the repeal with hurrah will in
protection of its own action favor strict
enforcement measures. This legislature
understands that if it's work is to stand
up it must be braced by legal struts
that will make violation of the
prohibitory law most serious offense.
The retrial of the prohibitory law is
on. That is settled beyond recall. Let
the legislature go to it. Make the legal
restrictions and the machinery of en-
forcement as strong as possible. Now
that we have begun it let's finish it.

the state that really counts.
Suppose we retain the state high
way commission. What then1 u the
state highway commission to 20 on

grades. that will lust as surely wash
down again as similar grades have
washed down in the past nifty years
in Iowa?

are all these grades IL there 10 to be no
surfacing. And how 10 surfacing to be
done with or without state highway
commission unless the legislature, not
merely content with holding its own, 10
to move forward.
What answer has been given to what
Ohio has done? Why 10 Ohio building
brick roads the most costly roads
known, to the extent Of $s,000.00O this
year? Ohio could make dirt grades
just as well and lust az cheaply az
Iowa. Why Ii Ohio spending, by pop
ular vote millions Of dollars year to
connect the county seats with brick

What answer has been given to what
Illinois or Wisconsin has done? What
answer to what the far off state Of
Washington has done. with its vast
stretches Of unoccupied wilderness OF
woods? What answer TO what Minne-
sofa has done, Minnesota at our own
dorr, less populous than lows, less
wealthy than Iowa, Tess in need Of
roads than Iowa?
The voters Of Minnesota 4. popular
election by u majority vote of all the
people elected to have the state engage
in making hard surfaced roads. and
every year since that decision was
reached more hard surfaced roads have
been built than were built the year be-
fore. Why Is Minnesota pursuing such
a course, II It is not wise course for
any state situated rs Minnesota is?
Why can we not here in Iowa come
to a realizing sense Of The distance
we are already behind other progress
sive states in this matter Of roads. and
why can we not bring ourselves to
the task Of proving that other states
are making mistake or move in the
same direction they are going in?
It is most surely up to us to, do
one thing or the other, we can not
stand still and shut our eyes. Other
states arer light or they are wrong.
They are doing something and they
are moving at a constantly acceler-
ated speed. Iowa must convict them
of want Of Judgment or stand con-
victed herself Of want Of enterprise.
These are the horns Of The dilemma.
Sustaining the state highway COM
mission is important but 1t Is mere
ly incidental to the real business before
the state. Roads are what Iowa needs
and roads are what Iowa must have.

The Des Moines Tribune soys "the

assist that satisfaction but are the
envy of other states. Iowa's position
among the states is of the premier

NOT REPRESENTATIVE.

The Press devotes q double column
editorial to the Republicans PROPOSE
ton that the present system OF choos-
ing school directors is not representa-
tive. 1t contends that the committee
system is like unto the city council.
But is it?
We hold caucuses to nominate coun-
cilmen. and then all the voters have
something to say, but here Is case
where ten men, this time but eight.
named in a hap hazard way two years
ago put two men in nomination for
members Of the board, and according
TO the Press 1t is a matter of treason
not to favor what was done by these
eight men.
Again we ask, il the will of ma
jority Of eight men is law, why go 10
the trouble of holding an election?
The school management Is really OF
as much Importance to the people az
city management. Now suppose we re-
verse the plan, hold caucuses to elect
delegates to city convention to nom
mate school directors, and at the ward
caucuses choose one man from each
ward to name candidates for mayor
and other city officers.
Nobody would thinks Of such thing
vet we have the plan Of permitting ir-
responsible persons to nominate any
body of whom they may think for
members Of a school committee, and
two years after this nomination. they
have the power under the plan favored
by the Press, Of absolutely ruling ev-
erything pertaining to the schools.
The Republican happens to know that
interested people have been looking az
ter the selection of these school com =
mittees. In order to get control OF
the schools, it is only necessary for
person TO 20 to some voter who will be
at the ward caucus and get him to be
quick in making a nomination. This
done for each caucus in the five wards
and this watchful person will have
committee of his liking.
But this is not altogether pertinent
to the present campaign, except to
show the weakness, in fact the absurd
lily OF the old plan, en-. the danger "
letting small body Of men have abso-
lutte control of the schools.
