BACK TO WEAVER.

webster City Freeman Tribune
The democratic party liz now get
ting around to the General Weaver
view OF the liquor question and away
from the Horace Boies view. General
Weaver was one of the most misun-
derstood men in Iowa while he was
leading political forlOrn hope. The
opposition delighted in calling him a
hypocrite and a demagOgue, turncoat
and designing office seeker, but the
later estimate of him is that he was
a patriot, fearless champion of the
rights Of sthe people and a man who
could not be bought or intimidate d.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Sibley Tribune argues that
while this is a free country and any
citizen may run for office If he wants
to, the fact that a man has been
failure in everything he has under
taken and needs an office is no rec
onmendation for him and no induce
ment for anybody to get behind him

sHRIN[Rs BALL IS
LARGE GATHERING

ATLANTA, Co., March 4-Nearly
5000 Georgia Shriners and Masons
and their wives and sweethearts
thronged the auditorium-armory last
night for the big ceremonial and ball
that riyalled in attendance and bril-
liancy grand opera week itself.
The stage was converted into a gor-
geous throne room, and the magnifi-
cGlt ceremonial entrance of Potentate
Walter Andrews and his divan in full
regalia was an event never to be for
gotten.
On the stage there was faithful re-
production of the complete ceremon-
ial spectacle which took place in
Yaarab temples few weeks ago.
There was a grand march, prize
drizzling and various other diversions
in addition to dancing were partici-
rated in. One unique feature was a
special booth in which ladies we're
initiated" into such mysteries of the
Shrine as the Mobiles considered proper
for them to know.
The music was furnished by an all
Shriner band, and the affair was one
of the most enjoyable and successful
of the year. The proceeds of the ball
will go to pay the expense of sending

Prince Sunni
Visits High
Throne Circle

TOXIC, March 4.-Prince sunni, the
infant son of the Emperor, who was
born last December, paid his first
visit to his imperial porent recently.
With the sword of protection presented
to him on his birth, the infant, borne
in the arms of a maid, was driven to
the palace with great pomp and cere-
mony. The procession was formed of
several state carriages and was escort
Ell by mounted police sergeants. Up
on arrival at the palace the infant
prince was received by the princes and
princesses of the blood, officials of the
household and officials of high rank.
A solemn ceremony was held at the
imperial shrine The service was Shin

Gre that his boy had grown so bis
and healthy-looking and who proceed
cd to ask many questions of the maids

emperor made the prince a present of

japanese customs of offering food

PARIS, March 4.-English pennies
and half pennies now circulate freely

since the dearth of French copper
coins made itself felt. Curiously
enough the senators are the most re-
bellious to the circulation of their
ally's copper money.
A newswoman at the Luxembourg
palace says the gray-haired men of
tie upper house stubbornly refuse the
English coppers. The deputies, how
ever, accept them without a word.
Post card vendors seek them out

Russia Places
Huge Loan In
Japan Banks

TOXIC, March Russia has plac-

about $25,OOO,OOO with Japanese bank
ers. The operation is really for the
purpose of paying part for the
great quantities of war munitions
which the Japanese government and
private arsenals are furnishing the
Russian government
The loan takes the form of Russian
treasury bills in denomination of s.
600 and 10000 yen and the rate of in
terest is 5 per cent. The bonds are
redeemable in one year. The bonds
will be issued at the rate of 95 Though
the subscription list will be opened to
the public, the syndicate of Japanese
bankers interested in the loan does
not seem to expect general support
from the public, believeing that the
subscribers will be confined to the
banking and insurance circles. In
consequence on understanding has
been reached between the syndicate
ard the Bank of Japan that the latter
will accept the bills as remortgage.

TENDER YEARS KEEP
Dat TIE FRONT AFFAIR

WOOLWICH, England, March A
. Ten thousand boys too young to fight
are doing what they consider the next
| best service cfor their country-turn-
Jig out munitions in the government
arsenal here. In ordinary times many
would have become Office boys, clerks,
or telegraph messengers, but today the
majority come from points miles from
the factory and help the older men
make the shells and guns needed by
the men at the front.
The pay is attractive. A smart boy
can earn $3.50 week, or even $40 if
he has good machine and can keep
steadily at work for as long as IL
hours day. Parents who have to
choose between putting their boys to
learn a trade at 50 or $3.50 a week
and allowing them to go into the ars-
email at the higher remuneration are
naturally inclined to decide on the
work which not only brings in the
quickest return, but seems to be in
the national interests as we'll.
Social workers who have the boys
welfare at heart are inclined to la
ment that so many should be entering
what may not perhaps prove perm
a1ent occupation. They say that their
future is not unlikely to become a.
problem after the war and that the
country might we'll remember then
that the great army of boy munition
workers played no small Fart in the
difficult time.
The daily life of these boys shows
what sacrifices they are making
Thousands live an hours journey from
the factory, and some have to leave as
early as $50 in the morning and can
lot get back till $3.50 in the evening.
All work twelve hours day, starting
at and finishing at g. They take the
night shift too, also for twelve hours,
and often a boy may be seen asleep
from sheer exhaustion on his way
home in a tramcar or train
Every effort is made by the Min
istry of Munitions to safeguard the
health of the youngsters, but the
problem is a difficult one. Eight hour
shifts are being urged and efforts are
being made to improve the transpor
tation facilities to and from the ars-
email. One of the latest suggestions
and the one most likely to be carried
out is to build miles of huts close to
the arsenal where the boys could live
while engaged in shell-making.
