Congressman Gardner and others, asks the New York World.
The attack upon the navy wa nt based upon size but upon pre-

Nothing was in order. Nothing a serviceable. The yards and dry

There are politicians in the navy, mostly ashore, and to some OF

Sages are not really wise
Till they read in Folly's eyes
Lore that puts to rout their rules,
Wisdom that escapes the schools.
Tell me, Sages. what love is.
Silent? But what fool would miss
Kiss or laughter, glance or sigh,
Waiting for your slow reply?
Sages. tell me. what is life?
While you pirate of joy and strife,
humble, definitions give,
Fools like me rejoice 10 live.
While you labor, dig and seek.
Dull of eye and gray of cheek;
While you study, delve, explain,
DEFINE, examine. think, refrain.

Senator Kenyon letter protesting
against the destruction Of the service

and that in some cases the boxes have
been located So far from their owners
that they prefer to go to the postoffice
for their mail.
This is incidental in Iowa. Congress-
man Good says that out Of every ten
letters received by him at least six are
of protest against the wholesale i'm
pairment and abolition Of mail routes.
Senator Cummins' mails are full OF
complaints and requests for assistance.
The same is probably true of the mail
of every representative. They are do

Burleson is running amuck among
the mail routes. He is smashing here
and there like a bull in china shop.

selected as base for these destructive
operations. AS an illustration of the
insanity which affects certain charac-
tiers when given absolute power Burle-

There seems only one certain method
of stopping and repairing the uncaned

That is to get rid OF that sort of adj

Gearing, Nov. ls--The following
in an Iowa town not here-which will
not be commented on in this column.
The churches got together and hired
an evangelist After a while the meet

Then and there the evangelist pro-
ceeded to attack the character of a
woman known of, to all present. He
did not mention names. it was un-
necessary. Result, friends of the
woman came to the rescue. The
nothing derogatory, he only repeated
what he had been told. The woman's
friends demanded written and public
retraction and they got 1t. Strange to
relate none of this got into the local
weeklies or state dailies. Newspapers
in these days do not publish such
things, unless they have evidence. and
even then generally do not consider IL

PLENTY OF POLITICS IN 1916.
TSioux CITY Journal1

In 1916 the voters OF Iowa will make
up for all the politics they have been
missing In 1915. In every city in
Iowa there win be at least six cleo
tions, and in the commission plan
cities seven. tho not all on different
dates. School election and municipal
primary in commission plan cities will
be held March 13; municipal election
March 81; presidential primary, April
10; state primary and special election
on equal suffrage amendment, June s;
general election. Nov. 4.
The coming year will be notable IN
the history Of Iowa politics for two
reasons--for the first time the voters
will elect delegates to the national
conventions and give expression at the
polls OF their preference as to candi-
dates for the presidency, and two
months later at the polls they will de-
termine whether or not to share the
privilege OF the ballot with the women.
