DIPLOMACY" AT
PARSONS TOMORROW

William Gillette, Miss Blanche
Bates and Miss Marie Doro, appear
ing in Charles F'rohman's tristan re-
viva1 of Victorien Sardou's "Diplo-l
macy" are announced to be seen at
the Parsons theater, Hartford, Friday
and Saturday evenings, and Saturday
afternoon. The arrival Of any one of
Mr.. Frohman's stars during the the
atrical year is an event Of interest,
but the coming of three at once is
something of remarkable occasion.
Added importance is attached to the
association of these three players,
since it marks the return to the stage
of Mr.. Gillette after retirement of
four years. Mr.. Gillette's last ap-
pearances were in reyivals of his
Secret Service "The Private Secre>
tary'' and Sherlock Holmes" in 1910.
The ASSOCIATION of the trio also brings
about the return to America of Miss
Doro after lengthy season in Lon
DON In the British metropolis she
was seen in the same role. Dora
the heroine, she Is to play here. Her
final English triumph came when She
was comm anded' to appear in
Diplomacy before the king and
queen at Windsor. Miss Bates is
credited with having score one Of the
most emphatic successes of her ca
reer as Countess zicka, the role CIV
ing her ample opportunities for the
display Of those forceful and artistic
capabilities to which she owes her
fame.
| .Diplonacy'' is a splendid vehicle
for the three stars, since each has
individual opportunity in roles OF
even and equal importance.

THE IOWA ROAD LAW.

1t seems likely that the effort to re-
peal the most vital parts of the road
law enacted by the general assembly
two years ago, will result in a spirit
ed fight in the Iowa legislature dur
ing the next two or three weeks.
About thirty members of the lower
house are banded together to push
through this repeal bill, which abol-
ishes the highway commission, re-
tains the state engineer as a figure
head, but take away his authority,
and gives him no money with which
to work, makes it optional whether
county engineers shall BE appointed,
and leaves it optional with the coun-
ty boards whether the two mill tax
for road purposes shall be levied.
Apparently it also removes the safe
guards which now surround the
building of bridges, and reopens the
opportunity for the same old graft
ing.
The present road law is not in all
respects satisfactory. 1t was a COM
promise measure, the result of
months of work and debate two years
ago. In some counties apparently it
has not given satisfactory results and
a number of the members of the pres
ent legislature were elected on plat
forms in opposition to it. The law,
however, has proved to be much bet
ter than it was thought to be when
enacted, and has been decided for
ward step in handling road matters
in Iowa. There is room for improve
ment and a number of amendments
have been suggested by sub-com-
mittee of both houses, as told in our
legislative report of last week. The
effort to repeal the essential working
parts of the law should fail. Iowa
should move forward, not backward
We will never get anywhere if we
face to the rear Making due allow
ance for it's weaknesses, the present
law is by all odds the best we ever
had We are more nearly getting
value for the money we spend on
roads than we ever got before. I'm
der this law we have been getting
some real road improvements. We
have been putting in permanent
bridges and culverts cheaper than we
ever put them in before. We have
secured lot of permanent grading,
and in some sections considerable
surfacing. After a few years, the
ola, QtuSeIOuS WOouCll Stl uSIuiSS Z" III
have been replaced with steel and
concrete, and the amount of money
to spend on the road bed proper will
be very much greater.
The present road law furnishes a
very good structure on which to
build. Let us amend it where it
needs amending, and strengthen it
where it needs strengthening; but let
us not bark back to the old methods
of handling our roads, and make our
selves ridiculous The Iowa farmer
is entitled to have his road money
spent to good advantage, and he is
more nearly getting this now than he
ever was before. -Wallaces' Farmer.

TEACHERS PENSIONS.

The house voted down the teach
ers' pension bill. The state of Iowa
and it's school townships have never
been fairly just-to say nothing OF
iberality-with their school teach
ers. Wages sufficient have never
been paid to support those who have
remained long in the profession and
enable them to lay up bit for years
when work can no longer be done.
The parsiminious members of the
house were of the opinion that in the
end it might cost too much. Every
thing worth while costs something
either in effort or in money. 1t were
better to recognize the worth of the
veterans in the teaching ranks, and
give them in decent way what they
are entitled to, in a manner to salts
fly their self-respect, than to kick
them out of the schools when old age
comes, with the information that
grateful state will give them board
and bed with other paupers in a
county home, if adversely overtakes
them. We seem to have thousands
for hog pens at the state fair grounds
but nothing beyond the daily needs
of the teachers in our public schools.

FACTORS THAT COMPEL PROS.
PER1TY.

The steel mills at Gary are run
ming close to capacity. Fifteen hum
dred men have been added to the
pay roll since Feb. 1st, and there are
orders ahead to keep the plant busy
for months.
Exports of breadstuffs from this
country from July /, 1914, to March
L, 1915, amounted to $357,O91,823
more than three times as much as
was exported during the correspond
ing period year earlier.
The business of the railroads is in
creasing, every shipyard on the At
lantic coast is working full time or
overtime, wheat prices are holding a
high level, stocks of all sorts are
climbing back to the place they main
tain before the war broke.
The net result of all these factors
and scores of unmentioned ones
is bound to be prosperity, in spite of
war and in spite of the sullen opposi-
ton of interests which hope to get
back their old tariff graft by the help
Of hard times.

JURY REFORM NEEDED.

The Iowa legislature could confer
no greater favor upon the people OF
Iowa than to pass the Kimball bill
providing for jury reform in counties
In which there are cities Of 0,6Op
population or more.
The bill, under the above popula-
ton restrictions, proposes to do away
y lth the present slip shod method of
selecting juries by the election judge
board of supervisors system and es-
tahlish a jury commission.
The state bar association at Bur
linston detailed committee which
has appeared before the judiciary
committee of the senate in favor OF
the measure The committee consist
ed of Judge William McNett OF OF
tumwa, former Senator c. G. Sanders
of Council Bluffs and Attorney Geo.
fIise of Des Moines. The attorneys
of the state are almost to man be-
hipu the movement, so members OF
the committee say But the attor-
neys are not alone in this respect.
Any one who is familiar with jury
affairs in the cities of Iowa knows of
the abuses that have crept into this
highly important feature of dealing
out justice.
The Kimball bill provides that
the Judge shall name jury commits
sion of five men, known to be disin-
terested and of high moral character.
They shall select the jury after TAX
ing oath as to the quality Of the men
they are to choose This jury panel
may be rejected and new one
drawn. In other words, the selection
of the jury is carefully safeguarded.

WILSON WILL DO FULL DUTY

If the president feels forced to
change his policy of watchful waiting
concerning Mexico, the country will
feel sure that he does so only upon
cnmpulsion. Whatever, activity may
follow under his leadership, he has
given proof of his patience and re-
straint And his notable speech at
Mobile, where he declared that no
thought of conquest would enter
American policy or be permitted by
American policy, assures that what
ever does follow, the United States
will not lower the fine standard Of
national ethics it set up in it's Cuban
elations.-Kansas City Times.

Judge Lindsey.

The long drawn out attempt of the
Republicans in Colorado to discredit
brave little Judge Lindsey has met
with disastrous defeat, when mem
Der of the legislature was caught re-
ceiving brides for his part in the fight
and made a confession last week and
is now in jail. Failing to defeat the
judge at the polls the effort was re-
sorted to in the legislature to get rid
of him and his troublesome meddling
with grafters' schemes by abolishing
his court.
The Chicago Herald of the 18th
says of the Judge:
Lindsey is hero in high sense.
He has given his life in fight for
the protection of children and in a
wider campaign for honesty and dem
ocracy in politics. In way he has
been vicarious offering for the aims
and neglect Of the entire nation. But
when he sees evil he is not afraid to
fight, whatever the personal cost may
be. The personal cost for him has
been brutally heavy, but through it
the American people see clearly what
before was known only in shadoWy
outline. And he has paid the price
the world exacts of it's prophets.
Just So But he has lived and has
helped to make the world cleaner,
better place for others to live in, and
after all that is the only thing worth
while. And now at last the results of
his efforts are beginning to be realiz-
ed.
It's slow grind sometimes, but
the grist is worth waiting for.

Although the railroads spent hur

Although the railroads spent hum
dreds of thousands of good iron dol
lars in advertising their woes in
Iowa newspapers, they failed to get
any sympathy from the newspapers,
except in a few isolated cases where
weakened editors have crumpled
up and gone against the people by
trying to make themselves and their
readers believe that the railroads are
entitled to an increase in freight and
passenger rates. The fight against
railroad thralldom in Iowa took too
many years to give it all away now
and the fight can be made all over
again if the railroads have any de-
sire to start something. The rail-
roads are getting all they are entitled
to and if they will not mismanage
their affairs they will be able to make
good money Manson Democrat.

THE LEON REPORTER, THURSDAY, APRIL i 1915,

Not long since a Mexican was muir
dered within twenty miles of Chart
ton, but up to date we have heard no
demands for redress. Recently a
renegade American was killed in. the
city of Mexico, and there is an inn
mediate demand for Intervention.
This illustrates the different angle

duty of Uncle Sam to hunt up that
Mexicans kinfolk and draw an order

CALAMITY ROWLING AT ITS
WORST.

The campaign which opposition
leaders are giving to prospective
deficit in the revenues has but one
purpose. 1t is to raise up new alarms
against a reviving business conf
dence and keep alive all possible po-
litical discomfort until it can be
made use of in the presidential cam
paign.
In the face of the greatest crisis
which ever beset modern civilization
we know Of no important country
save our own where the voice OF fac
ton has not ceased or where partisan
capital is made out OF a common dis
tress or common danger. Against
SO discreditable a situation the ap-
peal to patriotism may not avail, but
there is an appeal to the facts which
must weight with the common sense
OF the people.
No revenue deficit exists which
cannot be taken care of through
small bond issues to cover Panama
Canal expenditures. No deficit exists
which does not have the best excuse
for existing ever known of any deficit
since the Cival War. So far as it is
caused by large expenditures republi-
cans are more responsible than the
party in power, which took over a
government grounded upon the pres
ent volume of cost. So far as it is
caused by reduced customs revenues,
and this is practically the whole
cause, the great war alone is respon-
sible, and the republican breeders OF
discomfort know it.
Talk about the low tariff in this

ed to be so. Messrs Simmons of the
senate and Hull of the house pointed
out in the Sunday World that up to
the outbreak Of this conf1agration
customs revenues under the low tar
if were running ahead of the estl-
mates. 1t was then surplus which
meant ruin to American industry, 1t
is now a deficit from a war stoppage
of "ruinous" importations and means
more ruin.
1t was false cry in the first case
and is Standardization in the sec
ond. The calamity takers cannot
have it both ways. If large importa-
lions were our ruin eight months
ago, importations reduced next to
nothing by the war must shut every
calamity mouth now Which shall it
be?
The Wilson administration has
been saving and not disturbing
factor in this world upheaval. 1t has
STAYED off the incalculable evils OF
Mexican intervention. 1t has held the
scales of neutrality even against in
fluences working to involve the ma
ton in the great European cataclysm.
1t brought about reformed banking
and currency system but for whose
existence an appalling financial crisis
precipitated by the war would have
engulfed the country. 1t has kept
the way clear for the operation of
those recuperative forces against and
under calamity abroad which are ire
mendously at work paying off huge
foreign debt, absorbing large for
eign borrowings, moving the worlds
financial centre from London to New
York and working into great range
of new outside markets deserted by
their old European beneficiaries.
Are we going to help along these
forces or assist in blocking their OPP
GRAFTON for some partisan advantage?

,W0tCh Your Heart filter
You Are Forfg-Ji0e

In the October American Magazine
contributor writing nnder the title
Growing Young at Fifty tells how,
by following few simple rules, he re-
covered his health in the late forties
and how at fifty he finds himself better
and stronger than ever. In the course
of this article he quotes physician as
commenting, as follows, on a mans
heart at the age Of forty five:
"You must remember that at the
fOrty-tifth year at the latest, the heart
loses part of its elasticity, just as does
the eye; and when men go on working,
smoking, drinking, exercising, as if
they were forty, disaster is sure to fol-
low. That's what you did, and you very
nearly paid the penalty. .

WOULD CHANGE
PLAINS NAME

An "Onlooker" writes the Spring
Green News the name of Plain should
be changed and among other things
says:
Within few weeks very strong
efforts will be made at proper head
quarters to have the name of Plain
changed, as that name does not agree
with the rushing strides our burg il
making. First of all there is no meaning
to the word Plain, as it is an adjective
we must have at least noun and why
not put willie, or ''city" to it.
for my part would suggest name not
yet found in Wisconsin, and in order to
q. old unnecessary criticisms and hallu.
cinations, reserve three in petto, pro-
missing at the same time that they all
will be delighted at ts beautiful sound

staying on the + arm

The farmers are the people Of today
and it is very gratifying to note that
fewersboys are leaving the farms than
ever before says the Chippewa Fal Is
Independent.
Several years ago it became evident
that too many young people were leav-
ing the farms for the cities, where they
too often failed to make good. Not be-
cause the farmer boy is more likely
than anybody else to make good, but
because the cities could not absorb all
the young people who went there. It
is a we'll known fact that the chances
for the country boy to succeed are
greater than are those of the boy
brought up in the city, but the fact was
many country boys were falling by the
wayside and the farms were suffering
because of lack of young people to
operate them. So the newspapers and
magazines and public speakers took up
tle subject, and we are now advised
that the migration to the city has
lessened.
But it hasn't all been due to the agi-
tation, or the campaign. Much of it
has been due to the bettered conditions
in the country. The farmers are get
ting in better shape to allow their child
rem some of the luxuries of life. They
have little money ahead, generally
speaking, and they can afford better
clothes for their families. Transpor-
tation facilities have improved, and the
farmers and the families of farmers
can get to the cities for occasional
visits, with a good deal more conven-
fence than used to be the case. The
automobile has given the farmers fam
ily another chance, and the rural mail
delivery, with the daily papers on the
farm, has also helped to make farm life
more agreeable. So it has been a
combination of things that has tended
to decrease the migration to the city.
And everything which has contributed
to lessen this migration has helped the
people of the whole nation.
