HUGHES N IOWA.

The Sioux City delegates home from
the convention are quoted under big
| headlines in the Journal as being con-
WINGED that Hughes will carry Iowa.
But when was any question raised to
the contrary? What reason or fear
can be advanced or felt that Hughes
will not carry this state?
Mr. Hughes will carry Iowa impress
sively. In the first place he was the
strong second choice to the Iowa cam
didate, not only at the convention but
in the minds of the voters. Had
Hughes been candidate in the prl-
marieS ne would have polled a vote
only second to the Iowa candidate ana
close second al that; for the av-
erase Iowa republican favored Hughes
as a candidate for the presidency. That
same republican favored him over Taft
four years ago. Hughes will get the
solid republican vote in Iowa freely
and without question. There is not
and never has been any question of It.
1t is to be given consideration tina:
Hughes is a most excellent factional
compromise candidate in this state.
What the average voter knows about
Hughes pleases him and he doesn't
know or hold anything against him.
There is little TO be said against the
candidate which .,pneal
&c the republican voter or divert his
allegiance elsewhere. II the reports
from the democratic convention are TO
be credited the democrats are having
serious difficulty to find a talking
point against Hughes. The best they
have thought of as yet is that Hughes
was drafted from the supreme court
and the pseudo horror OF politics seek
ing the supreme court for a candidate.
Iowa. So long as the candidate is &C
ceptable and consttutonally eligible
we are not unduly exercised as to
whether ne was found on the farm or
in congress or among jurists. We have
been looking for man and a candi-
date.
The Hughes candidacy comes TO
Iowa acceptable and with as good
start as Hughes himself might wish.
There is no reason to imagine that il
will not continue to grow and gains
further acceptance and that the solid
republican vote of Iowa inclusive OF
most OF the votes that fell away from
Taft 10 Roosevelt will be cast for it;
and to this might be added the votes
of very cons derable number of dem
Ocrats who have found their own can
didate unaccepta Ole.

THE EAR.
gand Seelm6 Uax &c cabba6es. MIS-

The ear is delicate attachment to
the human bean which is worn in the
same. spot year after year without
losing it's pretzel-like contour. Man
loses his teeth and hair and waist
line, but down to old age he retains
the same set of Dubious. kite shaped
ears with which he stood UP on his
wedding day. Perhaps this explains
why so many people are so careless
with their ears and allow them to be
pushed toward the sidewalk by fur
cap.
The ear is the entrance to the brain
and the mouth is the exit. When we
look at the mouth Of man, and some
times woman, and note how closely
nature has modelled it after the lines
of swing door, then observe how
hard it is to reach the brain thru the
ear, we can not but think how much
better it would have been if those con-
ditions We're reversed. BY the time an
original thought enters the ear and
craw1s on its hands and knees into the
brain cells; the mouth will be full OF
something else entirely foreign to the
subjec; under discussion. II nature
had made the ear so that information
could reach the brain without having
to squeeze thru a corkscrew tunnel,
the quality of our summer chautau-
quas would be considerably higher.
The ear is used principally to hear
with, and sometimes it abuses the
privilege by listening to conversation
which was intended for some other
ear. The ear of the eavesdropper IS
the longest specimen in captivity with
the exception of that owned by the
mule. the only difference
being that the mule can lay his ear
back on, of harms way People are
said ia have a sensitive ear when they

THE MEN WHO WORK.

I'VE have with US today" and II
retain as our guests thru the week d
convention OF the representatives Of la
Dor.
The men who work are the men who
count, Labor is the foundation of all
things. 1t is the only source OF wealth,
it makes the world go round. 1t is thu
steam in the boiler, the power behind
the motor. Comfort, convenience, pros
perity, happiness, life itself depends
upon it. When labor stops production
ceases When it begins prosperity
comes with it. 1t is the most intimate
force of organized society.
So this is an important convention
dealing with matters most important
to every citizen. high or low, rich or
poor, learned or ignorant-for none OF
use escape labor and retain respect
and the confidence of ourselves and our
fellows.
Delegates to a convention like that
carry mighty responsibility. They are
not in convention for themselves only
out for all OF us. Their responsibility
is not entirely for any class or or
ganizatien or trade or occupation but
for every human being. They are deal
ing with vital forces affecting every
human life.
Labor is coming into its own.
NobIesse oblige. The greater it grows
the broader its view must be. 1t must
hold itself in high respect. 1t must
legislate in It's conventions for all man
kind must believe itself representative
of all that live and labor and supply
the necessities of the day and create
wealth against time of need. For great
power and greater possibilities mean
but one thing in the correct analysis,
greater usefulness.
Organized labor should mean better
homes, better towns. better conditions,
better citizenship as well as better
| wages. They all go together. belong
together. 40 ..ssssc- Is The most impor-

what thew want to build them out OF
or wiuh-Cedar Rapids Republican
The Republican has not played fair
in the late campaign. 1t has been one
of the few Iowa papers TO throw cold
water upon equal suffrage. IT has
acted TO us as If ii was at heart OPP
posed 10 women voting yet ashamed
to come out in the open and fight
against equal suffrage. 1t has acted
as if il secretly wanted Harding nomi-
mated but was ashamed to come out
boldly and say so. 1t has seemed TO
us as if it realized that Harding
election meant a victory for the vets,
and while too proud and respectable
to own ii. the Republican has inda-
Gated that its sympathies are with the
vets. In the above statement 1t clear
" misrepresents. No one is asking FOR
paved roads at $4,000 per mile. That
is an insinuation "conjured up for the
primary" The Republican can't point
to a single good roads booster who has
advocated such a thing. All they ask
Is that the main roads be graded and
surfaced with gravel where it can be
done without increase in taxes. Hard
ing has been running upon this false
issue. He dare not make an issue OF
the temperance question. He can not
and dare not defend his wet record.
Like the Republican, he has raised
the false issue of paved roads in
order to cover his record upon the
liquor question.

WE MUST 90 SOME THING IN MEXICO.

With conditions becoming more and
more acute along the Mexican border
much interest will attach TO the treat
ment Of the Mexican problem by the
convention in session. News OF very
serious and threatening aspect of af-
fairs leak thru the strict censorship
maintained Troops in small numbers
are being hurried TO the border. 1t is
feared tina, Pershings force is In i'm
mediate danger of attack. Munitions
and men have been moved by Mexico
from Vera Cruz and their objective Is
SUSPECTED TO be the border between this
country and Mexico. Raiding is re-
newed. Consuls are alarmed at A
growing unrest accentuated by a cur
rency utterly deprecated and conse-
ouent suffering and starvation.
For many months under the policies
and makeshifts which have charac-
tertzed our trea,mtnt of the situation
matters have grown steadily worse for

that have so egregiously failed, on the

Whatever the democrats maytfay in
their platform the country will await
action. II has slight cause TO hold con-
fdence in rhetoric that lacks action
and in buster that backs away from
its own assertiveness, or IN wabblins
policy that seeks to accomplish by shift
what it should demand openly.
Meanwhile the raids along the Dor

so many deaf people wear a look of

The ear can be trained so as to be

Topics of the Times

Mr.. Bryan occupies about the same
position in the present convention that
he did in the one last week But that
is less cause for worry to Mr.. B. than
to his party and its candidate.
Perhaps, were Funston or Pershing
permitted to talk the country might
get some actual understanding. OF the
situation along the border.
When the republicans nominated
Fairbanks they also nominated Mar
shall. Which was lucky for Marshall
as without a desperate fight in Indiana
he would have been slid off the hind
end of the bandwagon.
1t doesn't matter much what decision
Roosevelt comes to on Hughes. When
ne declined the enthusiastic nomina-
ton accorded him by the party he
created he sawed the limb of his in
tluence off between himself and the
tree.
And now comes submarine inner

tainly does play hob with tradition.
A taxpayers league has been formed
in Hardin county TO reduce taxes by
abolishing the highway commission.
The highway commission is paid out
of per cent Of the auto license money
SO taxes can in nowise be affected
gineers cost about 81 out of every $50
paid for roads and bridges. That might
be saved but It will cost 81 in dues to
belong to the taxpayers league. Meth
er the highway commission nor the
county engineers levy any taxes so
somebody is bound to be fooled.
Hughes refuses 10 De interviewed on
the endorsement of the German Am
erican societies. 1t is another instance
where silence is auriferous. But
Hughes isn't throwing any honest citi-
zen's vote over his shoulder just the
| same.
Speaking on submarines note how
Colonel Roosevelt dived and how lone
he can stay under without showing
even the tip end Of a periscope.
