LAND PRICES.
burlington Hawkeye.]

burlington f1d~hSyS.J
1t is but a few years ago that the
then secretary OF agriculture made
prediction in regard to Iowa land prices,
which was scoffed at by people every
where. He had reference more espe-
cially to Iowa land, and as MIR. Wilson
was an lowan by adoption and knew
Iowa land, as few others knew it, he
should have been listened to with re-
spect by the IowanS. at least. but
even here, there were very many who
had their doubts, and who believed
that the secretary's enthusiasm and his
love for Iowa had gotten the better OF
his judgment. Today the figures that
he gave have been left far behind, and
today there is no one who cares to
make predictions as to what the price
of Iowa land may be at some not very
distant time. Everybody knows that
Iowa farm lands are advancing IN price
at a speed that is phenomenal. And
everybody is confident that the limit
has not been reached and that he VINO
buys today. has the same chances, the
same prospect of big and sure profits
that fell to the lot OF the earlier in
weston.
Perhaps many Iowans have not been
looking beyond the confines OF their
own or neighboring states. Hence the
announcement made by authority. who
has been giving time and careful study
to conditions, came almost as sur
prise to many The upward movement
of land values Is not confined to Iowa
and neighboring states, but spreads
over all the land. 1t may not be so
marked in some stateS or some sections
of the country as it is in Others. but
everywhere in the land, the prices are
rising. That upward movement has
been under way for a number OF years,
and in this section it is given at fve
per cent a year. In others it may be
somewhat less. but everywhere land Is
going up" and everywhere investors
are sure OF good returns to their In
vestment if they put their surplus into
AGRICULTURAL land. OF course, the man
who will make the big profits Is the
man who understands farming, and
who bugs land and farms 1t and i'm
proves 1t, bu. there is. also every pros
pect of handsome profits for him who
buys as an Investment only. Why this
should be the case in a vast country
that is comparatively sparsely settled.
that is a problem which remains I'M
solved to the present time.

THE MEXICAN POLICY.
iowa City Republican,


The presidents Mexican policy Is SO
weak, Inconsistent and vascilating as
to make his talk about humanity IN
Europe sound like an insincerity, If not
actual hypocrisy. In Mexico. Americans
have been murdered in cold blood. not
by those denounced by the president.
but by Villa, whom the president once
picked upon as the man to unity ana
save that country. They have been
murdered by Carranza men, and even
now when the president is cowed ana
! bullied by Carranza that old blu1er
is driving Americans from their homes
their property and even threatening
war If we do not obey his orders. we
! have guaranteed protection to Amerl-
| can lives and property in Mexico ana
like craven towards we have permitted
them to be murdered and pi1lagec. Ana
now while the president is threatening
to force war with Germany in the name
of humanity. he is preparing to with
draw from Mexico and shows no more
courage than the animal that never
| fig hts.
If we are forced into war with Ger
many, every life lost will be a Ike
sacrificed upon the altar of injustice.
Every monument raised to our dead
will be a mark of glory for the men
forced to die in an unjust cause, and
will also be a monument Of shame
for president who either thru stu
pid!ty or a natural desire to help Eng
land, the natural enemy of America
forced the country into an unholy
war.
This country stands upon danger
ious groun DIS 1t has not justice in Its
cause 1t represents the wrong SIDE
lof a great issue, and the success OF

for this country If in the future wal

AT THE DAVIS.
George ArIiss in Paganini.

To use a hackneyed phrase, but a phrase well justified in connection with the visit of George Ar1iss. a dra- matic treat rewarded the audience that attended the Davis theatre Fri day night when the distinguished English actor presented 'Paganini'' on his first visit to Norwich. A large au- dience greeted the famous star, a1- though the house was not entirely f1II- ed.
 MT. Knoblauch, who has given to the stage "Kismet,'' My Lady's Dress" and ''Milestones,' among other successes is responsible for "Paganini'' and this romantic comedy in no wise falls short of his previous writings. It is admissible that much of the suc- cess of the piece rests with MT. Ar liss and his excellent supporting com pany. Perhaps no better balanced support has occupied the boards of the Davis in a long time. Each charac- ter is well played and forms an in tegral part of the finished whole. There is a love story running through f'Pagonini" with a dainty charm of old lace and lavender, of willy snuff boxes and furbeIows. of old stage coaches and "courtesies" while the settings are in faithful accord with the charm of the period of the play the early Victorian days.
 The company goes from here to New London where they will appear this afternoon and evening.
