Probatina Wills Before Death.

A Columbus. O., Judge makes the
novel suggestion that wills be probated
before death. He would permit a man
TO go into court with his will properly
executed, and demonstrate his COM
potency to execute such a testament. II
would not then be possible after his
death for disappointed heirs to set up
that he was mentally incapable" or
subject to undue influence" ss,.
Under the present practice Wills are
often broken after prolonged litigation
on one or the other Of these grounds.
Apparently. it is not a difficult task to
show that any dead man was mentally
deficient while alive. But few heirs
would have the hardihood to face the
living maker of the will in court, un-
less he was really incapable Of deyising
his property.
The effec. CT s..ch 9 lazy would be TO
relieve the court of a vast amount of
yexatious litigation. 1t would also per-
NIT man Of sound mind to devise his
property precisely as he wished, SO
long as his plans did not run counter to
public policy. Nor would he wrap the
drapery of his couch about him and lie
down for the last long sleep. in the
fear that his name would be furnished
by his avaricious survivors. Minneap-

| The democratic party OF our fathers
and uncles and elder brothers no longer
exists except nominally in Iowa. Mere
dith and his enthusiastic conference
| abolished it. AS in a factory reor-
! SANITATION the old OUTFIT was junked. 4
I new management is installed. The old
! products thrown aside. The only
things retained were the name, some OF
! the old machinery and such OF the
hands as may be able to adapt them
selves to the new regime. But as con-
Germs the ancient, unwashed and Nh
terrified democracy Of the past it Is on
Tie Junk pile as Anticipated, unavail-
Bile, passe.
Practically the entire stock is piled
in the back alley. First they threw
out that standard plank mo sump-
tuary legislation" There it lies wait
ing and worm eaten for the personal
liberty leagues and the so-called Ger
man american alliances to come and
carry it away if they want 1t.
And the new management was as
busy bringing things in at the front
door as throwing others out the back
door. First came a bright new prohibit
ton plank, solid polished mahoganj,
perhaps made over from the mahogany
left over from the junking Of the bars
once so dear to the democracy. AS II
was brought in curious rafting
sound leaked into the council chamber.
1t was the bones of democrats from
1856 on TO 1915 turning over in their
graves.
Nor was decorative effect lacking.
The suffrage plank came in tied about
with the white ribbon OF the w. Z.
T. L. as the mulct petition and the
demand for Australian ballot on the
saloon question went tumoling OF the
back stoop. Again arose that clatter-
ing Of dry bones and there were those
who thought they heard ghostly voices
and whispered rawlings amid the re-
sounding cheers.
The democratic party moved over
into republican territory Saturday,
bringing nothing but its name So
many of It's members have been voting
IN repu blican primaries SO many years
tina. they have become as it were
acclimated. But there are those. very
number of those who dis
ike the climate and abhor the location.
Will they stick in hope OF an advance
Of wages or seek another job?

While il may not be al all proba BILE

In these tines Of factional re-align-
menr and a get-toge-her spirit within
ta~ party. il might be reasonable to
d. .de hono-s as between the former
factions but unless those who believe
4 forward and constructive policies in
our American politics look out the en-
tire party machinery can be given over
10 the forces of reaction.
Just now Hasseiquist IS better
man than Alien, the present secretary
Of state, but there are hundreds of
men in Iowa who are better men for
the job than Hasselquist Moore is a
strong character with many serious
disqualified ions LON the standpoint
of those who believe in forward con-
structive policies but the alternative
offered IN his case is also lacking in
much that is required. And so it goes
down the line.
When Curnmins was the leader of
an organization and many stalwart
men were aligned with ms cause at
was possible to induce the right kind
of men to run for office. Since then
we have been drifting in Iowa and the
voter is being denied candidates for
the minor Offices which arouse any
enthusiasm. We choose between those
that are offered and are not satisfied
with the field.

The green trail OF the grasses,
And the leaf-trail of the tree
The young springs in the meadows,
And her breath is on the sea-
Her laughing lips are calling,
And they sing across the vale;
Oh. take the path of morning
When the green is on the trail.
By mill and shop and temple
She has passed to call men forth
To the green domains Of nature
East and west and south and north:
Her azure eyes are twinkling,
And her fleecy cloud ships sail:
And We'll take the path of beauty
When the green is on the trail.
The hammers Of the toilers
Have been swinging hard and long:
Ger the magic if the valleys
F0urs the young springs airy song;
oh. put away the labor.
For your cheeks are turning pale
And YOU want one breath of beauty
When the green is on the trail.

A MOST SERIOUS SITUATION.

The break with Germany Is up to
congress- That is where 1t should be
and should have been. For when calm,
common sense prevails over en-
thusiasm most men realize that body
Of representative men IN immediate
touch with their constituencies should
deal with so important a question in
their aggregated wisdom rather than
any single man whatever his title or
executive position.
There has Of late years been alto
gether too much assent 10 the assump-
ton that the president Of the United
islation and order congress to carry 1t
out, too much Capitalization Of mi
tiative and power in the presidency
and too much contempt of congress
The tendency was created naturally
enough by an absolutism Of party and
by congressional leadership that looked
away from the people for orders and
assumed that it's responsibility held
more to interests and individuals than
to the masses. And so we have fallen
into a dependence upon presidents more
than on congress, naturally but not
the less illogically. And presidents
have not been backward in advantage
ing themselves and extending their
power thru this tendency on the part
of those who elect presidents and con-
gressmen.
So it Is we'll that this important pro-
position is now up to congress where
! it can not shift the responsibility. That
the executive will put forth every eff
| fort and use all the power Of his Of
flee to force support of his policies in
! congress has been sufficiently indicat-
ed. Party and patronage whips will
! be busy.
Congress faces a serious situation
| No doubt 1T will be seriously consid-
cred. Involvement Of this country with
the European war madness has SO fal
been avoided-perhaps more by good
luck than good management. Now
when the critical period seems to have
arrived the country will be glad tina

the states are to deal with it.

Danger il Mexico.

A month ago we said that the entry
Of our soldiers into Mexico was likely
TO lead to war with that country, but
that whatever the consequences of that
entry might be. our troops should not
be withdrawn until its purpose has
been accomplished. We realized then
that the weakness and vaciIiation OF
the pseudo government, the hatred and
ignorance OF the population, and the.
popularity OF Villa In the region to be
entered, formed the ingredients OF an
explosive compound that might burst
forth at any moment. Whether the re-
ported attack at Parra1 is a bomb or e
fire cracker remains to be seen, but II
can be seen at this moment that Mex
leo is ripe for an uprising against the
hated gringo, which the individual

Success Is a process which consists
In climbing to the top Of the ladder

monotonous regularity. Others achieve
success by working sixteen hours q day
while their companions are trying to
keep step with q fve-piece dance or
chestra, and large number have sue
cess thrust upon them by the unex-
pected demise Of rich relative who
intended to seave his money in another
spot. Mkt ny
AS a rule, success is measured in
money. 1t is great surprise to q
man who never had enough ready
money to stock chiffonier to fall
headlong into 400 acres OF alfalfa
land and a herd Of registered short
horn cattle, and then discover that
he is about to be rum for congress

Success can be defined by the way
You look at 1t. In every town and vil-

but the recording angel can keep track

salaries who slip into the back door OF

would q democratic convention at DaV-
export have done 10 prohibition
plank with John T. Clarkson astraddle
of it had it been brought in a few
years ago? What difference would the
plank exhibit after its experience there

and every one is delighted; but some
how the Methodist system Of few
