Futile to Worry.

Alex Miller in the Washington,
Iowa, Democrat: The old bear. Dave
Brant, of the Iowa City Republican, is
worrying for fear there won't be an
available candidate for governor on
the republican ticket in 1915. He is
afraid nobody will be eligible. for he
says 1T requires bolter to make a
winning.
But Dave need not lose any sleep
over that, as it is best not to CROSS
the bridge till you get to 1t.
And, anyhow, in these days OF re-
formers, regularity does not count for
as much as 1t once did.
AS rule the fellow who can make
the biggest noise is the chap to get
the votes.
1t is not now SO much a matter OF
ability and political honesty as 1t is
of advertising.
The politician has found out that It
pays to advertise, and the fellow who
does the most OF it, either in the news.
papers. paid for at so much line, or
by doing some wonderful thing that
will give him the advertising free just
SO his name Is household word, as
we say, is the one who gets there.
oh, it is a great game this political
business, and Dave need not lose any
sleep as far as candidates are con-
cerned; anu since the republican party
is all sleeping in one bed again, there
is not much danger at this distance
but that the next governor will be O.
republican, but maybe not Dawes

parts OF the state and as to some OF

ment this year, the general prosperity
in the state continues and everywhere
there is feeling of optimism. The
people most nearly In touch with the
farmers of the state agree that the
best advertisement Iowa has now is
the demand which prevails for Iowa
land. And as to most of this land it
is assessed and taxed very modestly.

The Taft of Today

Chicago Evening Post: The attempt
TO extract an interview from Prof.
Taft on the Mexican situation, the
European war and other public ques-
tons of the hour failed, and rightful-
.ly so. Mr.. Taft is not only an ex-
president, he Is gentleman and a
scholar. with the restraints Of con-
duct that belong to each. He knows
that it would be most unethical for
him to criticise the foreign policy of
the present administration when mat
tiers in Mexico and Europe are in such
a serious condition. Mr.. Taft is out
OF politics. HI, is teacher, and as
such his words will ever receive re-
spectful attention. We have always
regretted that so estimable man as
he personally is, had to stand as the
victim Of the boss rule at the repub-
lican national convention Of 1912. Ex-
President Taft says that he is simply
calm spectator OF affairs. Nor need
he worry about the verdict which
history will pass upon him. His work
as "pro consul in the Philippines,
Cuba and Panama will ever stand out
in bold relief as a practical tribute
to his ability and wisdom in bringing
harmony and peace out OF chaos.

A small railroad operating an oil
burning locomotive on the Tahoe ma

down during the past summer and
burned wood instead Of oil for one

near the railroad and 1t was not

The January American Magazine.

Two yery remarkable contributions
about the war appear in the January
American Magazine. One, BY Ray
Stannard Baker, is entitled The Last
Phase Of the Great War" 1t is nc
ton story of the German invasion OF
America in 1915-1916 and Is a sort OF
imaginary history of the war supposed
to be, written one hundred years
hence. The United States wins with
out any fighting at all and the story Of
its victory is ingenious and full Of
sense. humor and surprise. The other
contribution on the war is entitled
Hats OF to France!" It is by Will
Irwin, special correspondent of The
American Magazine and it reports the
courage and GOODNESS with which the
French are taking part in this war.
One gains from this article the i'm
preston that France is determined
and sportsmanlike to the last degree.
In the same issue Ida NJ. Tarbell
continues her new series of articles
entitled 1.-The Golden Rule in Bust
ness" In her present article she
writes under the title, .The Gospel OF
Safety" and gives complete account
of the tremendous development of the
safety movement in American indus
tries. Cleveland Moffet writes a Won
derful account of the new invention
by which moving pictures are now
taken under the sea. This invention
opens the way to the recovery of hun
dr.ads of millions of dollars worth of
lost treasures It's benefit to oceano-
graphers and science is of course
obvious. Stewart Edward White, writ
ing under the title, "A Lion Adyen-
ture," gives an account CT his person
al experiences with wild animals in
Africa. A husband, who has been
married twenty-five years, gives a
highly entertaining and suggestive &C
count of his experience with the prob
lem of matrimony.
Fiction is contributed by David
Grayson, author of Adventures In
Contentment," in the way of new
novel entitled t'Hempfeld," and there
are other stories by John A. Moroso.
