ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
Qll6ld,LR0l1l,
.as,o sl,lps Ys,d seoli5 slk.d &!

Accident insurance Is a successful
method Of converting q sprained ankle
into real money. IT is the only method
known by which man can fall down
an elevator shaft and receive his re-
ward in this life.
Government experts have shown by
careful estimates that prior to- the in
PRODUCTION Of the habit of paying
people for getting hurt accidents were
few and far apart. There was no IN
centive for man to go out and turn
an ankle or grow q carhuncle on the
back Of his neck. One OF the most I'M
profitable things anybody could do
was to break leg, for 1t left feel
ing OF extreme annoyance without any
cash surrender value. People were
more careful of their legs and arms
in those days than they are now, and
did not allow them to be nicked and
bent out of shape with 30 much frees
dom. A great many men went thru
life with the same number Of legs that
they started out with, without realiz-
ing that they could be insured for
more than they were worth.
While accident insurance is in many
respects a great boon, 1t has too often
proven a corrupting influence. There
is something about an accident in
surance policy which is paid up for
the next thirty days that transforms
timid. cautious policy holder into
demon of recklessness. When man
realizes that If he draws blood while
grinding the coffee for breakfast he
can lay off for six weeks at the exo
pense Of some temporarily solvent ac-,
cident insurance company, he IL,
tempted to let his foot slip. When you,
see a male passenger dropping off the!
running board of an express train with
both hands full of grips and striking
the ground on his right ear, You can
make up your mind that he has Just

EVERYBODY WORKS FOR FATHER.

An investigation of the economic sit
uation in the European countries now
nearing the end of the second year of a
gruelling war reveals some astounding
facts. Millions of men have been
taken from all the walks Of life where
they have been engaged in the business
of producing and distributing neces
sites and luxuries and have become de-
stroyers of life and property. Thru the
wise use Of human energy which was
largely unused before the beginning of
the war, the places made vacant by
sending men to the front have been
filed and production and distribution
continues with little abatement. Not
only are the wants Of the civil popula-
ton supplied but immense energy is
used in supplying armies at the front
with ammunition. Now everybody in
purpose. Before the war began a tre-
mendous volume of available energy
was wasted. Only part Of the people
worked.
1t Is true that "the devil always finds
employment for idle hands The chief
bane Of American boyhood and girlhood
is idleness. A hundred years ago 30
per cent Of our people lived outside the
cities and towns Of the country. In
most Of the homes families lived large
ly within themselves. Clothing was
made direct from the wool on the
sleeps back. The whole of the winter
months were used getting wood and
other supplies ready for summer. The
whole of the summer was spent getting
ready for the winter. Everybody in the
family worked. Thrift and frugality
were vital essentials in those days.
Today everybody but father and
mother loafs. Children eat and sleep at
home and during the remainder of their
waking hours they shift for themselves.
We have an increasing number of boys
and girls who are just growing as did
Topsy. Many of these are drifting into
evil ways. Today there are 500, 900 men
roaming over the country as tramps-
enough to whip Mexico If they were
gathered together and whipped into
military FORM AS the matter stands
we must take the flower of our youth
full manhood with which to do this
work
The future welfare Of our country
the destiny OF this race of people which:
comes from our melting pot-depends
upon our disposition to learn the les
sons made clear by the war in Europe
and by the evidences which surround
US and apply them to solution of the
problems presented by our great pros
perity.
We need supervised Fairgrounds. We
need continuation schools. We need to
bring our idle boys and girls to the idle
ground which produces nothing bu,
weeds. We must teach them thrift and
industry. We must not only drive sa.
looms and other temptations from. oul
state: we must supply something te
take the place Of these institutions: we
must supply work for the idle hands Of

ARBITRATE.

The Capital has urged that the wage
dispute be settled by arbitration. APP
parently all hopes Of arbitration have
passed. 1t is inconceivable that the
railroad employees will strike should
war with Mexico to be declared. But
even this possibility should not pre-
vent prompt action by congress in
passing the necessary legislation to
establish permanent method Of regu-
lation over the industrial disputes
which interfere with the public veal.
The railroads might have used the
money they will spend on advertising
to conduct an expensive lobby in
Washington. They have decided that
an appeal to the people is more Just
and honorable.

is where Iowa will receive its benefits.

"a lot of people living on the Pacific
coast should feel mighty cheap to read
that Japan will not encourage or as

j Some good can be seen in the pres
ent situation by the Des Moines Reg
lister, which says: 1--WE are doing now
what we might as we'll have done at
the outset, we are bringing the Mexi-
cans together. Whether we shall have
war with them remains to be seen. A
few cool heads on either side may
avoid that last extremity. We are much
more likely to have war now than we
should have been four years ago. But
the Mexicans are coming together, and
that is the beginning Of the end Of the
problem in Mexico"
