Americans believe It was mistake to

posrHuMous FACTS.

President Mcbride, of the state
university, is quoted by an Iowa City
correspondent as saying: 1t has been
within the power of the legislature at
any session TO put such restrictions
or this traffic as to prevent the eNis-
tence Of saloons in Iowa City. but the
public sentiment as expressed in the
legislature has never before set up
such restrictions" and his apology for
thirty years of delay is that during
the time the prohibitory law was in
effect il was enforced here as thor
oughly as anywhere else. Since that
time the saloons have existed strictly
under the terms of the mulct law"
This is a full and complete admission
of the contention made by the Times
Republican repeatedly for the past ten
years and generally resented by friends
OF the university as unfair or even
malicious in its intent. Coming now
that the struggle has been won in spite
of the university officials and not be-
cause of any assistance from them II
is important to have the admission
that Iowa City could have been made
as dry as any other college town many
years ago.
The facts are that what the state
university needs as much as anything
else is an administration courageous in
- own strength and modern in eff
cheney. II needs such a man as Seerley
has been for Cedar Falls. Bell for
Drake. Main for Grin2ell and as Pear
son may yet De for Ames. 1owa's

years for the people at large TO remove

authorities have been in the habit Of

War gossips are busy with their
theories as to the wars which each OF
the belligerents in Europe will wage
when the present war is ended. The
same state of apprehension existed in
Europe at the close of the civil war in
this country. Europe saw a million
men under arms in the north and an
other million in the south. and Europe
was afraid Likewise were Canada and
Mexico. Now we read that Italy Is
playing safe with her armies SO as to
preserve their strength for future ac-
ton. Then another story tells US that
Great Britain is holding back an army
of 100000 men for use with her navy
in debating the terms of the peace
which is to follow.
The chances are six to one that ali
these stories are mere nightmares. for
we find at the same time in England
that ladies of luxury. accustomed to
horseback riding for pleasure, are en-
listed as grooms and instructors Of
men recruits at the riding stables, and
mining coal and working at lattes in
the ammunition factories. Together
with the fear that the cost Of this war
is going 10 make confiscation of prop
erty necessary for the support of the
state it is not at all likely that any
nation has more wars than this one in
mind at the present time. .
Thruou, our own Atlantic coast re-
gion fear has possessed our people lest
the Germans should march upon us the
moment they are victorious in Europe
but Germany has lost two and a quar-
ter millions Of men already and will lose
a million Or two more before peace is
declared, and the thought of a new
war of aggression is improbable and
impossible at this time
Our people along the Pacific coast
can see the Japs landing In force on
Mexican soil preparatory to marching
upon us from Lower California, but the
Japs want only the same freedom to
expand their commerce in China that
We are claiming as our right in the
Pan American countries. America for
Americans" is orr slogan. and sc be
heve ourselves righteous and just in
its spirit The orient for orientals"
seems fully as much Of a divine right
to the Japs
The facts are that this war is going
TO satisfy the worlds lust for blood for
some time TO come. The United States
should always be prepared to enforce
international respect for its rights but
there Is yet plenty Of time. Let the
program be one for gradual prepare
ton without war taxations. There is
no occasion for more stamp taxes, nor
tax upon industry. The thing to do is
10 lie, up On the customary pork oar
rels. Garden seed graft once stopped
would build a dreadnaught every year.
The militia of the several states could
be expanded to an army OF a million
men under arms and yet at work in

pense could be paid out Of the usual

the democratic congress would stay

ness should be financed out Of its owyi

undemocratic as democracy has gone

some points of interest which If put

benefit in school advancement.
The present term OF school opened
on Aug. 80 with very pleasing pros
poets. The first days enrolment
was said to be the largest in the his

presence Of a large number of the
good women of Leesburg. The
dearest thing to a true mothers
