A SENSIBLE VIEW.

There is being held in New York City this
week conferences between representatives OF the
national conference committee of the railways
and the heads Of the four railroad brother
hoods, who will try to settle the controversy
over the Adamson ''eight-hour" law. The
railroads never approved the act, and a case
now before the United States supreme court
was brought in the hope that the statute would
be declared unconstitutional. Approval by the
trainmen is less enthusiastic today than when
President Wilson urged the enactment OF the
measure. It has been suggested that the test
case now before the supreme court may be with
drawn and the Adamson law repealed. Prob
ably few persons believe that either of these
steps will be taken. No one is attempting a
forecast of the outcome Of the conferences, at
which the parties to the controversy will try to
reach an agreement. But it is encouraging to
find w. G. Lee president of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen, saying: owe hope to work
ii out. We know that if we don't work it out
for ourseives--the employees and the employ
ers-somebody is going to work it out for us
and it will not be acceptable to either side -
This is sensible view. The interests of the
public have been too long ignored. The public
is not free from blame. 1t has been too patient.
1t pays the bills and it is tired of strikes and
the threat Of strikes. Mr.. Lee is right when he
says that if the roads and their employees do not
work out the problem somebody is going to
work it out for them.

from the Missouri river, and thereupon the
people Of Iowa refused to ratify the constltu-
ton. Two more years passed before another
convention drew up new constitution. when
was adopted by the people, and the state was
admitted into the union with it's present bounda-
ries.
Professor Benjamin f. Shambaugh super
intendent of the State Historical society, IS
authority for the statement that throughout
Iowa "there was very general feeling OF sat
isfaction with the new political status which
came with the establishment of state govern
ment and admission into the union. Having
outlived the conditions of territorial govern
ment the pioneers Of Iowa now entered into the
new political life without regret. They re-
ioiced over the fact that they were recognized
as part of great nation. They appreciated
the significance of the change. Nor were the
pioneers of Iowa strangers to national political
life AS settlers on the public domain they
were in very special sense the children OF
the nation They had always cherished the
Of the fathers But now the
days Of dependence were over. =
And today why should any person ask
"What's the matter with Iowa?' Unnecessary
and immaterial question. Iowa holds her own
against the criticism of any other state IN the
union With all due respect to her sister COM
she affirms that none of them has
better men or women has none lmbued with
a higher regard for general welfare and none
who will bring more credit to a political dl-
vision Iowa's material progress has Kept
pace with the mental advancement OF her
citizens, and in every endeavor for civic bet
torment she stands on the top round OF the
national ladder

IOWA'S SEVENTY YEARS.

Iowa is seventy years old today. Seventy
years ago this very day congress passed the act
which admitted to the union the territory just
west of the Mississippi, then the frontier, the
wild west of the pioneers. 1t was at the close
of the year 1916 that President Polk signed
the act of congress which made Iowa a state
ON equal footing in all respects whatsoever. "
Admission was not accomplished without a
long struggle A member of the research staff
Of the State Historical society has pointed out
the fact that the territory Of Iowa had scarcely
been established in 1888 when there sprang up
an agitation in favor Of statehood. In his mes
sage of November. 1889, Governor Robert Lucas
gave his hearty support to the movement, but
the Legislature failed to act upon his sugges-
tons. In 1S4O however, act was passed
submitting the question to vote of the people.
The result was a decisive majority against
statehood Two years later the people again
defeated the proposition to form state gov
eminent. But by 1874 they had changed their
minds. Delegates to constitutional conven-
ton were chosen and a constitution was drawn
up. Once more all hopes were dashed to the
ground, for congress reduced the boundaries
OF the proposed state. cutting it off entirely

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine,

said DR.. Sauer. q specialist who
has studied widely both In this

ter OF fact, real and true strength
can only come from the food you
eat. But people often fail to get the
strength out Of their food because
they haven't enough iron In their
blood to enable IT to change food into
living matter. From their weakened,
nervous condition they know some
thing is wrong but they can't tell
what, SO they generally commence
doctoring for stomach. liver or kidney
trouble or symptoms OF some other
aiIment caused by the lack Of iron
In the blood. This thing may 90 on
for years, while the patient suffers
untold agony. II you are not strong
or well, you owe II to yourself to
lake the following test: Sec how
long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two dve-graiI tablets Of
ordinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.

When Men Buy wild Horoes-

Cedar Rapids Republican: When
one ccntemplates the Arizona wild
horse" case, he Is almost compelled to
lose hope in humanity. This is the
case Of pack of smart swindlers who
sold wild horses in a certain unexplor-
ed county in Arizona. The horses
were there, millions Of them All that
was necessary to do was to catch them
tame them and sell them to the allies
in the European war How easy 1t all
seemed on paper. Did men buy such
promises: Certainly they did. They
were eager to invest their moneys in
them. One Iowa man, according to the
government investigations, turned in q
$4,000 house and place in order to get
his share of the profits Of the herds OF
equines on the Arizona wild lands. The
governments inquiries into this
swindle are to be on q large scale.
Hundreds OF witnesses have been sum-
moned But think OF it-that men who
have $4,000 houses should be caught in
such cheap swfndle. What is the use
of telling men to be careful about their
investments? And what Is the use OF
men saving their money If in the end
they can be led to invest 1t SO foolish
|ly?

eiooe.t Buffalo Herd.

Montreal Gazette: Canadians gener-
ally will be glad to learn that the
buffalo herd in Buffalo park Is In
creasing naturally and at good rate.
This national park is at Vain
wright. Alta, between Winnipeg and
Edm onton, on the Grand Trunk Paci-
&c, and is 160 miles square in extent.
There are 2,O77 buffaloes at present,
and as the rate of increase is about
200 year, the undertaking promises
to be complete success.
The experiment was begun in 1903,
when Frank Oliver. then minister Of
the interior, purchased the Pablo
and Allard herd in Montana for $780,.
900. The rounding up of the animals
and their transportation to Alberta
was a notable achievement. Since
then the buffalo have thrived until to-
day the herd is the largest in the
world. 1t Is an attraction for tour
lists, more and more Of whom are
taking the transcontinental trip every
year.
The journey is an enlightening e1-
perience and by no means the least
Interesting Of the numerous truly
wonderful sights is the herd of buffa-
loes located n territory ideally suited
to their needs. Their growth IN mum
bers is proof that they are well
looked after. In winter time the
beasts are fed, for If left to their own
devices the weaker ones would perish
in the severe spells. They are
thoroughly at home. and Superinten.
dent McTagglrt is pleased with their
development. In the same park are
elk, moose and mule deer, all of
which are on the increase There are
also few antelopes and plenty of
feathered game, all OF which, of
course, are protected.
AS late as half a century ago the
buffalo was found in vast numbers on
the great prairies of the west. They
congregated III enormous herds. Their
paths were NJ conspicuous as the
roads or today.
Indians and trappers subsisted
largely on their flesh, which they
found succulent end nourishing. Penn.
mican that could, when properly dried
and COMPOUND led, be kept for months
and even years. was made from buff
falo meat.
The skins Of the animals were used
to make clothing and blankets and
the fur was generally turned into
coats and CAPS. Buffalo robes were
common till quite recently. and
twenty years ego the cabmen in Mon
treal and other Canadian cities al
had their buffalo coats.
The dung was used for fuel where
wood was scarce. Altogether. the
buffalo was a most useful animal In
the then sparsely settled territory
lThis very usefulness helped to the
