The next legislature will have tC
give the matter of automobile mum.
bers and plates some consideration
At present it is impossible for the
secretary of states Office to take care
of the business as it should be taken
care of. Hundreds of automobile
drivers are now operating their cars
without numbers because they can
not get them and the authorities are
unable to enforce the law because of
a supreme court ruling to the effect
that cars can be used after applica-
ton has been made for license.
Why wouldn't it be a good thing to
have some county officer look after
the license and plate business of
each county? The secretary of state
could furnish the plates and the
county official could report to the
secretary the names and numbers
just as fast as they were sold. This
would give the people of each county
an opportunity to get the numbers
promptly and would distribute the
work among ninety-nine county Of
ficers instead of having it confined to
one state office. If this plan is not
looked upon with favor by the leg
islature it ought to devise some 9TH
er method that will relieve the pres
ent annoying and perpleXing situa
ton and will enable automobile own
ers who pay their license promptly
to get their numbers when they want

A FIRST ARMY OF DEFENSE

All those Americans who favor a
business like program of national
defense should be interested in the
formation of The National Security
League, an organization which has
for it's object preparation against
war;" not "preartion for war;
From the National headquarters
of the League at 81 Pine street, New
York City, a call has been sent out
for the enrolment of the first Amer
lean Army of one million volunteer
workers, which will shortly be call
ed upon to give united support to
the following program: CD legis-
lation correcting presen: wasteful
methods of military appropriations
and disbursements. ca The adop-
ton of a definite military policy.
(3) A stronger, better-balanced
Navy. (4) An effective mobile Reg
ular Army. (5) Better government
support for the National Guard. CO.
The creation of an organized reserve
for each branch of our military SER
vice.
Public support may we'll be given
to an organization Of this kind
which includes among it's members
such men as the following: Joseph
H. Choate, former ambassador to
England, honorary President; Alton
B. Parker, honorary Vice President;
former Secretary of War, Henry L.
Stimson, chairman of the Army Com
mittee; J. Bernard Walker, chair
man of the Naval Committee; Ben
Jamln +. Tracy, former secretary OF
the Navy; and Colonel William c.
Church, editor of the Army and Navy
Journal.
All those interested in the work Of
the League are invited to send their
and money contributions to
the National. Security League, 81
Pine Street, New York City.

China is an example of the popu-
lous nation that is not prepared for
war. She is the foot ball of the
powers and is being kicked about at
will. The example of China ought
to be a lesson to the people of this
country. We are safe only as we are
able and willing to protect our
rights. Under the conditions in the
world today the nation that is
afraid to assert its rights and unable
to protect them is the prey of other
nations. We want a strong navy,
backed by all necessary equipment
to make it efficient.

During the early stages of the
count, Des Moines was greatly eXer-
cised for fear she would not have
100000 population, but the 100000
point was passed few days ago and
the indications now are that she will
have at least 100000. That is a
good showing and reveals the fact
that Des Moines contains more peo-
pie than any other two towns in the
state.

No, the United States is not ready
for war and it never will be until
it gets into war. Our people are sc
self-satisfied with their own PROV
ess that they refuse to get ready un-
til it is too late. 1t would be quite
consolation at this particular time
to know that the United States navy
was one of the strongest in the
world and to know that it was ready
for duty.

Senator Cummins in 1912 had the
courage to tell where he stood in
the presidential contest, but Gov.
Clarke travelled all over the state
as a candidate for reelection and
did not state his position as be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt. Yet some
of the supporters of the governor
are now saying that he has excel
lent courage.

Our own Col Lafayette Young
was arrested in Austria a few days
ago on account of being in company
with a man who was suspected of
being a spy. The colonel was held
but few hours, being liberated
with apologies" However, the af-
fair is giving the colonel lot of
good advertising and it is unneces-
sary to say that he is making the
most of it.

using all his resources to compel
decent regard for state law in every
part of the state.
There is no mistaking the fact,
too, that the attorney general is
looking upon his prospects with
about as much assurance as most
Iowans are looking for a fine crop.
He is getting encouragement from
every part Of the state both from
individuals and newspapers and
neither he nor his friends would be
surprised in the least if when it
comes down to the primary there
would be but two candidates in the
field-Harding and Cosson.
1t appears clear from his earnest
manner and a tone Of confidence in
his expression that Mr., Cosson
would rather enjoy tryout with
Mr.. Harding on this law respecting
and law enforcing ISSUE Cosson
has an abiding confidence in the
judgment of the people of Iowa
when a case is fairly presented to
them. He is also supremely conf
dent in the rectitude of his own pur-
poses. His whole manner is indi-
cative, therefore, of modest conf
dence in the outcome of the politi-
cal contest for which lines of battle
are now being formed.

MR.. COssON A CANDIDATE.

Attorney General Geo. Cosson was
in Council Bluffs a few days ago and
according to a dispatch sent out
from that city admitted to friends
that he was a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor.
He was returning to his home in
Des Moines from Clarinda, where he
had given an address in a church
Sunday night. That he will prove
a strong candidate is conceded and
it is possible that he will get the
nomination. He has many friends
in Webster City who will be glad of
the opportunity of supporting him
and who will take off their coats in
his behalf during the primary cam
paign. He has delivered addresses
in this city twice during the past
year and the people who heard him
like his direct way of dealing with
public questions. They also like the
stand he has taken for law enforce
ment. 1t is yet early to take sides
for or against any candidate, be-
cause it is not yet known just who
will be in the field, but the Free
Tribune could support the at
torney general with genuine salts
faction and it believes that is the
feeling of a majority of the people
of Hamilton county. This, of
course, does not mean that our peo-

Mr.. Cosson says that he is cam
didate for the republican nomination
for governor of Iowa. He isn't fol-
lowing the usual line in seeking this
preferment, however. He is not talk
ing generalities and lodging issues
but is bodily and frankly taking is
sue with those who stand for local
option in the matter of law enforce
nent.
Cosson says the state should, |
while dealing fairly and honorably
with it's citizens, insist upon respect !
or it's laws in every section. AS
governor of Iowa he says candidly !

Every loyal American citizen, nat
uraliZed or native, will stand by
President Wilson in any course he
may take regarding our foreign af-
fairs when the supreme test comes.
We are now divided upon some of
the problems confronting the coun-
try, but there will be no division
when the die is finally cast. We all
hope for peace but the nation is not
going to falter if war comes. The
Freeman-Tribune would like to see
the United States set an example of

"Why fear death? 1t is the most
beautiful adventure in life" So
spoke Charles Frohman as he faced
death on the deck of the sinkin g
Lusitania, according to reports. The
chances are ten to one that he never
said it. However, some people want
to live who do not fear death. They
feel that they have something to do
in this world. They hope to accomp-
lish much for the benefit of man
kind and because they shrink from
death is no proof that they are
afraid to die. 1t is the duty of a man
or woman to live as long as he or
she can be of use in the world. Mr..
FrOhman had no right to die if he
could help it and Ebert Hubbard s
flippant retort about death from a
torpedo being a good advertisement
was unworthy of the man. The

John D. Rockefeller won his case
against Cuyahoga county, Ohio, in
which the county sought to collect
$1,500,000 in taxes, asserting that
Rockefeller was citizen of that
county. Mr.. Rockefeller set up the
claim that he was not a citizen of
the county and the court sustained
it.

Some people who are undertaking
to defend the German submarines
for sinking the Lusitania, resulting
in the loss of perhaps one hundred
American lives, say Great Britain is
doing a wrong thing in trying to
starve the civilian population of
Germany. That, however, is a ques-
ton for Great Britain and Germany
to settle. The matter of killing one
hundred peaceable American citi-
zens is a question for the United
States and Germany to decide. By
the covenants of the Hague, sub
scribed to by the United States, Ger
many, Great Britain, France, Russia
and all the other important powers,
agreement was entered into that no
merchant ship, even of belligerent
nations in time of war, should be
sunk without opportunity given pas
sengers and crew to escape or sur
render and without saving the
ships papers. These are the ques-
lions that are vital to. Americans and
the blockade Great Britain is main
tanning against Germany has moth
ing to do with their solution. The
fact that Americans were warned to
keep off the Lusitina is not vital.
They were not warned that it was
to be destroyed without non-com-
batants and even women and chill
dren given opportunity to take to
the lifeboats. The big vessel was
unarmed and the submarine COM
manders could have told the passen-
gers to take to the lifeboats before
the deadly torpedoes were fired.
Failure to do that is what makes the
act criminal and indefensible.
