TWO VERY DIFFERENT PAARDES.

The preparedness parade dWlnd!eS
on this side the Mississippi Great
cities seem to be able to bring large
bodies of marchers into line, especially
IN the east where preparedness Is an
other name for plenty Of work at bet
ter wages than the factory hands OF
that section have ever known and TO-
large profits and frequent dividends lot
those who capitalize and operate mu-
milton factories and steel WORKS. But
out west the marchers fail to mater
iaIize. In the principal city Of Iowa II
was possible by hard work to get
about 1000 people Of all ages into line
which is certainly not representative
Of any outburst of enthusiasm for
compulsory military training and big
standing armies.
1t would be interesting to watch
those professions if recruiting officers
stood at a given point soliciting enlist
men,s in the army. New York maTchec
magnificently; but the recruiting Of
fees in that city do not seem to at
tract enlistments. That is true a..
over the east The marchers in the
Darades have no desire, inclination or
purpose to become soldiers. They want
armies and vastly desire to equip
them: but they are looking more for
work and for profits than for war. Like
the enthusiastic person who was bound
to put down the rebellion il it took
every one Of his wife's relations like
Nicolas who promises to shed the last
drop of blood in the body Of the last
moujik, the paraders are paraders.
They would cheer on the dogs of war
bu, the probabilities are that not FIVE
in a thousand of them are ready and
willing to bite.
Parading means little. Take Iowa
! and the transMississippi as example.
If a great war Of defense were to be
| fought the country would look toward
the middle west to fight it. 1t would
not be disappointed. 1t mas never
been disappointed by the middle west
and farther west when it needed men
| in emergency. the eniistments in the
states where the parades have Deer
given perfunctory attention would leac
all other states. The difference is be-
tween playing war and defending TIT
| nation to the last gasp and when tina
times arrives if it ever does come ths
prairies will turn out long lines of de-
termined men to group themselve
about the flag, not for a sordid pur
/ pose or in the false enthusiasm OF pa
/ rade but as patriots with zeal, cour
age and determination.
There is a difference in parades

A GROWING DANGER.

It is clear to all who are in, the
habit of giving some attention to
what is happening linsthe land that
smallpox is becoming more wide
spread from year to year. There Is
probably not a county in Iowa or
Illinois or neighboring states. that
does not have number of cases. and
that number is growing constantly.
And the attitude Of the people is pc
| culiar. They seem to give the dread
disease no heed. They have learned
that it is appearing in a mild form,
and hence they believe that there is
no need of worrying. What they fail
to consider, what apparently they do
not know, is that a very severe type
of the disease can develop from the
mild form. There may be cases of the
most malignant small pox even now.
and none are the wiser for it. This
malignant form takes heavy toll. 1t
is stated by authorities on the disease,
that it sweeps away as many as %
per cent of those who are attacked.
1t would seem as if the people
everywhere would insist upon the
most energetic campaign against the
dread disease. That they would be
satisfied with no halfway measures.
And it is but fair to assume that the
authorities are doing everything with
in their might. They try to isolate
the sick and to keep them where there
can be no danger of injecting others,
and the medical men do their part.
But the fault seems to lie with the
people themselves. There is very
simple preventive. More than hum
dred years ago, DR.. Jenner discovered
the method Of making people immune
against smallpox by means Of vacci-
nation. And where vaccination is the
universal rule, there is practically no
small pox. But the present genera
ton has had no experience with small
pox and therefore vast numbers have
been converted to the belief that vac
cina1ion is injurious and they will
have none of it. Possibly the people
will never learn, except by bitter ex-
perience, and it may require an cpl
de1nic OF the terrible disease 10 again
make the people careful and to remind
them Of the fact that where they ex-
ercise proper care and protect them
selves. the disease can not become a
danger to the community.

Printers ink is a combination OF

Printers ink is the cheapest form
of publicity known, next to telling a
secret to ones wife, and yet there have
been thousands of men who never
found it out until it was too late to
make terms with the referee In bank
ruptcy. All along the highway OF life
are scattered the whitening skeletons
Of promising business ventures which
started out with large bank balance
and no other form Of publicity except
regular attendance upon the meetings
of the official board One by one the
proprietors discovered that they were
catering largely to their immediate
relatives and willing class Of trade

Nearly all OF the merchants who

rubber stamp is all right in its place,
but as a means Of getting business 1t
is as helpless as one-1egged man on

rubber stamp going out into the coun-

All Of our great merchant princes
landed in the king row by buying huge
gobs of printers ink and spreading 1t
over two pages crammed full OF lin
gerie cuts and enticing price figures.
The automobile industry owes more to
printers ink than it does to the fitful
self starter, which sometimes fits and
sometimes starts. In view OF these
plain statements Of undying truth, the

THE police department should not

pedestrians obey the laws. Stop the
