Roosevelt in the Convention


The question Of Roosevelt's nomina-
ton stands about exactly where 1t did
four years ago. At that time there was
powerful swing toward Roosevelt for
nomination, which grew and was
powerful enough to succeed but for the
opposition Of little group of men who
were intrenched In the republican ma
tional committee. in a position stra-
logically strong enough to enable them
to deny Roosevelt the nomination. The
same thing can happen this year. The
organization OF the republican national
committee has not changed; its person
mel has changed but slightly, and Its
spirit has changed not at all. It Is, by
nature Of its organization. a sort o.
semisecret society with a more or less
self-perpetuating membership. Domi-
nant In it are give or six men--roughly,
the same 1--WE or six who prevented the
somination OF Roosevelt four years ago
and they can prevent It this year

THE COLD BATH.


The cold bath is recipe for impart-
ing gloss finish and goose pimples to
the human hide. While looked upon
by the thouShtless as a fad of society,
1t is In realty a great public boon, as
it encourages TIE free and unrestricted
use OF soap and water in quarters
which heretofore have been able to
wiggle along on one weekly applica-
ton. 90
The cold bath was invented by a
Vermont man Of rash and impetuous
nature, who WIS the victim OF hay
fever with all-weather tread. He had
tried bathing and liked It first rate.
but had never used it AZ a beverage.
Upon the advice of his family physi-
clan. who had rnn out OF pills and
was afraid to operate, he originated
the present pastime OF 1eaping out OF
bed into a tin tab choked with ice,
which caused him to forget his hay
fever entirely. He became an en-
thusiastic advocate OF the cold bath
and lived to u ripe old age, sur
rounded by ad,niring relatives and
mute relays of Turkish towels. ,t.
The purpose Of the cold bath is to
harden the skin SO that when a germ
strikes it slanti.,g blow it will
skate off and fall harmlessly to the
ground. Medieal science has never
found way to ward Off germ
which attacks mali head on. which
teaches US that on seeing germ ap-
preaching We should turn the other
cheek. Thousands Of people who
have been laid low by the grip germ
would have escaped entirely II they
had been attacked in the cheek. The
cold bath will harden the cheek to
a certain extent. but in most in
stances it is a superfiuous remedy.
The cold bath should be taken

LAWYERS AS WARRIORS.

If the president wants secretary o.

real warrior instead of lawyer
Marshalltown Times-Republican.
The question Is not without peril
nency Yet. in justice to the Legal pro-
fession, 1t will have to be admitted
that the secretaries of war who sa"
the republic successfully thru all It's
wars were lawyers. James Monroe,
who took over the war department
during the war Of 1912 after two SOL
diers of the revolution had failed to
give satisfaction as its head, was
lawyer. William L. Marcy. who served
as secretary OF war turnout the war
with Mexico, was a lawyer. EDWIN
NJ. Stanton, who succeeded simon
Cameron, newspaper man. banker and
one time Pennsylvania adjutant gen :
e-al, as secretary OF war in 1862. ano
saw the civil war to a successful nm
ish, was a lawyer, having served as
attorney general in the cabinet OF
President Buchanan. Elihu Root, who
succeeded the unfortunate Gen. Rus

The Not unmixed Blessing Of Peace.
lThis poem contributed to the T.-R
hy an anonymous versifier expresses
feeling common to those who drive
over dirt roads in the spring.1
We read in the papers OF battles
That are fought In Belgium and
France.
OF the men who are dying by thou
sands,
The victims OF bullets and lance.
We sadly listen TO stories
Tha. tell Of the things they endure,
OF money that's spent for munitions,
And taxes that are paid by tho poor.
We read Of the men in the trenches,
who fipht hand to hand for their lives,
And we pity their parents and children,
Their sweethearts and sisters anu
wives.
Then we're told Of the men killed in
airships,
or those who are drowned in the sea.
OF the killing OF prisoners and
And the starving of the refugee.
u. boar nj these things and We shud-
der.
Then wish that such crimes need not
be,
And hopefully long for the day
When the world from its wars shall be
free.
But sometimes read and wonder
II their lots is so bad after all.
In
country, e.
And ride over dirt roads in the fall.
Tho perhaps their lives are burden.
And their troubles may come thick and
fast.
A war can not go on forever.
It's bound to be ended at last,
While for us there can be no relief,
There is no escape from this thing
We've Just got to live in the country
And drive over it's roads in the spring.

THE RANK OF DECENCY.


AS long as the saloon crowd was
running things in our neighborinS
town. Missouri Valley. Logan had
nothing to fear from that quarter as a
competing point but since the new
deal Is on down there and the crowd
that stands for better things than the
saloon and its influence is in control, II
stands Logan in hand to get busy,
wake up and do things. Since the sa-
looms went out and the town no longer
got a big revenue from the licenses,
Erie street has been paved almost its
entire length, and lot more paving
is projected for this year, and they are
doing things accordingly in the VAL
ley. While Logan has had no saloon
for number Of years to hold the town
back. we have enjoyed a very satisfac-
tory degree Of progress, but this spirit
of progress want to be kept up, In
creased and increased still more, until
Logan takes rank with. the best coun-

ance could be improved by paving,

There are certain fields Of endeavor

CWaterlOo Courier.1
The river cities appear to be making
a concerted effort to wipe out the Il
legal liquor traffic which has sprung
up there with surprising qulckness
since the saloons went put. and TO a far
greater extent than in the inland
towns. This, too. In spite OF the fact
that all q resident of those cities has
to do to get drink Iegftimately Ia to
cross the mississippi into Illinois.
Davenport has taken steps to wipeSout
her houseboat colony, bootleggers
stronghold. and the Clinton police
force is busy raiding blind pig joints
and confscating their stock in trade.
Now there is a good deal Of light
talk wherever men congregate in
Waterloo to the effect that it is easy
to buy whiskey here. While it is pos
sible that there is little surrepti-
tious traffic of this sort, 1t rs doubtful
if it is half as bad as this vague talk
makes it out. At all events, with all
the liquor shipped in here for person

Fashions DEGREES

Narrow bands of tulle are still used
for evening gowns of tulle.
Quaint turbans are fashionable; SO
are large picture hats.
Sport suits of mouse-gray corduroy
are extremely natty. Gray buttons are
the fasteners.
Some of the new sweaters have silk
Innings, which are very effective when
displayed as a backing to the flowing
belt sashes.
Small fruit has been used from time
to time for trimming hats, but this
season pears, crab apples, as we'll as
berries of all kinds, are seen.
The fashionable couture is largely
a matter of individual taste. The hair
may be worn high or low, may be in
wide or narrow effect.
Short-winged sleeves of filmy stuff
are characteristic of the latest evening
gowns. They are often wired to stand
up straight from the shoulders.
