Ford and Peace.

l
| Des Moines Register: The prospect
Of war with Germany was looming
large on the horizon when the people
CT Nebraska went to the polls to re-
cord their choice for president.
They carried the state for Henry
Ford, the opponent of war; Ford's
victory is the most remarkable incl
dent OF the campaign to date. He
was not a candidate. and his name
was on the ballot against his wishes.
| He had no organization and conduct
Fed no campaign.
The fact that Justice Hughes,
whose name was not on the ballot at
all, was at various times reported to
have carried the state, proved the
willingness OF the voters to consider
the primary an open affair. In which
they expressed their real choice.
Not one man who wanted war would
have voted for Henry Ford, and any
one desiring war who wrote name on
the ballot would have written the
name of Roosevelt instead of Hughes.
But where was Roosevelt?
Henry Ford had strong competi-
ton. Senator Cummins has strength
in Nebraska, as the vote showed. And
Nebraska is the only state in which
Henry d. Estabrook could be called
genuine candidate. Nebraska is his
home state He lived there for SO
many years that he felt warranted IN
asking the friends OF Senator Cum
minis to concede him the state without
a choice. Estabrook is one of the war
element. He is the western stalking
horse for big business and the arma-
ment makers. But where was Esta-
brook when the returns came in?
OF the three leading candidates,
two are definitely aligned on the side
Of peace, and the third has never COM
mitted himself, but his support is
from men who want harmony on the
platform of peace and progress
The Nebraska primary is described
as three-cornered fight among Ford,
Cummins and Hughes-men OF peace.
Estabrook and Roosevelt trailed
so far that they are listed among the
scattering. They represent the war
spirit.
Nebraska is not state OF cravens.
and it is as American as any in the
union. The Ford victory, and the
strength of Cummins and Hughes,
coming in the very moment of the
German crisis, cannot be read other
wise than as a declaration of non
interference with the politics of ELL
rope.
The war spirit may sway this part
of the country yet 1t is contagious
and any war may become a popular
war. But it is plain that there is no
demand for war.

Fly the FLAG in Iowa.

Des Moines Capital: Adjutant Gen
eral Logan has called attention to a
shameful neglect on the part of our
state and county officials who have
failed to fly the United States flag
over all public buildings.
It should not be necessary to in
woke the law on the question OF so
manifest a patriotic duty, but for
those who wish authority we quote
the following. which has been resur-
rected from the legislative enact
ments OF the dim past:
ut shall be the duty Of the
custodians of all public buildings
Of the state OF Iowa to raise over
such buildings the flag of the
United States of America, upon
each secular day when weather
conditions are favorable. and it
shall be the duty of any board Of
public officers charged with the
duty of providing for the supplies
of any such public building, to
provide in connection with other
supplies for any such building of
the state of Iowa a suitable flag
for the purposes herein provided"
There probably is no civilized ma
ton on the globe so disregardful of
its flag as our own. 1t is not because
we do not love our country, but be-
cause we have grown careless of
what it means to US. That is why
court houses, city halls and even our
state institutions, have been erected
without provisions for flag staff.
Every public official with a spark
Of patriotism in him will see that the
stars and stripes are flung to the
breezes over the institutions of gov.
eminent in Iowa.

ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE

THE TEST.
The test of a man is the fight that he makes,
The grit that he daily shows;
The way that he stands his feet and takes
Fates numerous bumps and blows.
A coward smile when there's naught to rear,
When nothing his progress bars.
But it takes to stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
1t isn't the victory after all,
But tie fight that brother makes;
The man, who driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
Tie blows of fate with his head held h1gh,
Bleeding and bruised and pale,
Is the who'll win in the by and Dy-
For he isn't afraid to fail
It's the bumps you get and the jolts you get
And the shocks that your courage STANDS
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prizes that escape your hands,
That test your mettle and prove your worth;
Il isn't the blows you deal,
But the blows you take the good, old earth
That shows il your stuff is real.

Acute. If not astute, is the critical sense OF
the bucolic members Of the Louisiana state
board of education. They have rejected
school reader because it contains Mother Goose
rhymes And the one particular couplet to
which objection was raised IS this:
"a gentleman rides gallopy trot
farmer rides hobblede-hoy"
No less a parsonage than the governor Of
Louisiana is quoted as saying: II won't vote
for a reader that contains such reflections on
the Louisiana farmer, even if it is Mother
Goose rhyme" And other parts OF these old
nursery favorites this august chief executive
classes as absurd and belittling to 'that class
the city folks sneeringlX refer to as hay-seeds
and rubes"
If our memory serves US, Mother Goose was
written by farmers wife, and she must have
known whereof she wrote. Ii our memory goes
still deeper-clear down to childhood days-it
was vastly more fun to ride hobble-de-hoy on
dads foot than it was to ride gallopy trot Both
equestrian styles were respectable, equally so;
but rough riding had the call-it was the eli
max we waited for-the big finish.

| giles that have been so popular IN childhood
