COMPARING ADVANTAGES.

Carroll county, Illinois. has but one
town with saloons Savanna, a river
town opposite Sabula Iowa. Regard
ing that condition a Savanna paper
crows over its neighboring city OF
Mount Carroll, insisting on this ad-
vantage over other towns in the
county. The incident is interesting to
thousands of T.-R., readers because
that part of Illinois seems to have
moved bodily into central Iowa some
years ago and many Iowans still retain
an interest in the old home towns in
northern Illinois.
The other towns in Carroll county
may permit Savanna to get what COM
fort she can from the possession Of her
man traps. Savanna is one of the few
towns on the Milwaukee between the
Nebraska line and Chicago that revel
in saloon proprietorship as Fulton is
the only town between Omaha and
Chicago on the Northwestern to be-
come the mecca Of those whose bust
ness was outlawed from Iowa Mount
Carroll can bear it. That pretty little
city and county seat is good town to
live in. 1t is the seat Of one of the
most noted schools for girls in the
west 1t has two daily papers-and
maintains them somehow. When
people think of Mount Carroll they
think Of the beautiful college on the
hill with it's splendid grounds, Of a
nice clean town that seems to have a
good trade, has good streets, beautiful
residences and no saloons. When they
think of Savanna it is railroad center
with saloon attachments. They think
of Mount Carroll as "a good town to
live IL and educate the children" But
they do not consider Savanna in that
| way.

itself on it's saloons is like the drunken

IoWA's POSITION.

The anti preparedness meeting at
Des Moines drew a great crowd 70 MI
the coliseum and the "thrusts of the
speakers against the preparedness pro-
gram aroused much enthusiasm ac-
cordins TO the reports of the loci
newspapers
However, if Iowa We're to be can
vassed man by man the poll woula
show an overwhelming majority Tor
not the program of preparedness ou'
a program OF preparation. Iowa is not
against preparedness but against mill
tarism.
1t is against great stanoins army
to be supported as heavy burden IN
reace and to continue constant
menace to peace 1t is against conpul-
sorry military service or any form OF
F,nropean militarism which makes war
naw,s of citizens in the hands of rulers
and cabinets.
It is in favor Of defensive prepara-
tions tina, snail give our coast cities
proper protection. 1t faVors an IN
crease and better training OF the ma
tional guard. 1t is ready to lnoorse
any reasonable program for Strength
ening the navy TO the reasonable oe-
tense of both oceans.
In short Iowa is American ana pa :
triotic without hysteria or sell interest,"
She IS not seriously affected by the I'M
reasoning fright that seems to be the
uppermos, sentiment in the east ana
as well by the vast profits that the
r,,,nition makers are accommodating
Iowa has kept her poise. She Is Tor
common sense program. an American
program is for defensive preparation
but not for militarism
She is not inclined to accept tne
dicta Of the army and navy ciuo o.
that Of the army and navy offices pre-
sided over by those who have had no
experience in naval or military oper-
atoms, except upon examination anu
thoughtful conclusion.
The fact is that Iowa is holding her
balance and assisting to maintain the
equilibrium of the country. she q
standing as umpire between the fright
ened and greedy east and the molly
coddles of complete pacificism.
Put Iowa down as opposed to mill
tarism and favorable TO that prepared
moss that will enable the United STATES
to meet any emergency that seems
,;LoI,, 20 .nsue # is the difference be-
tween keeping fit physically and con-
tinual training.

Step back a few short years and

1t seems logical that when the

that temperance voters should sit up

servers at sight OF q drunken man.
The saloon town does not attract the
better class of those who seek new
locations either for homes or for busi-
ness. 1t does draw undesirables OF all
classes. 1t isn't "a good town to live
in and bring up children" And that
estimate of town has become the
chief consideration to the majority OF
those who look about for new locations
for homes or business. The saloon
town has ceased to look good to the
average man with a family. And the
average man with a family is the cti-
zen all towns seek to attract to them
selves
There is but one true test Of town
lit must be a good town to live in.
And by comparison no saloon town can
fill that bill. Mount Carroll and the
other good towns in Carroll county
may congratulate themselves. Savanna
should worry.

THAT PRIMARY OUTCRY.

\ bitter attack is on against the pri-
mary system. The slack interest shown
in the presidential primary has fur
nished much munitions Of war. News
papers which fought the statewide
primary when 1t was in process Of es-
adjustment and after it had proved its
popularity as we'll as its value are now
renewing the assault. An occasional
newspaper that supported the primary
system Is now worrying because the
ignored thru the fact that in Iowa
there was no opposition TO Cummins
and that the question of preference
failed 10 enter into the primary al all,
Iowa having but one preference and
enc candidate in either party. SO the
presidential primary and is slack vote
is being used overtime in an attempt to
discredit the statewide primary and
if possible bring about return 10 the
ancient caucus and its advantages TO
bosses and special interests.
however luS dON OtdlSS VI NiIc Noo
Gus system may as well forget 1t. The
halcyon days when the first essential
to candidacy was to get permission
of the political attorneys Of special in
terests have passed never to be re-
called. The people are not to be be-
fooled and cozened into a return to
in tho hands
of corporation bosses. Whether or not
the voter uses his primary privilege
in elections which he considers to have
been settled by a general agreement
he will insist on keeping the pri-
mary franchise as good thing to have
in the house. He knows its value. And
he knows the advantage the politician
seeks thru a return of the caucus sys-
tenn. Nothing doing in primary re-
peal in Iowa.
True enough there are episodes in
the primary that annoy and perhaps
disgust; but on comparison the minor
annoyances of the primary are to be
PATIENTLY and even gladly endured
rather than the jump from mildly
heated primary frying pan into the
scDrching fire Of the caucus. AT worst
they are but episodes. The caucus was
