TERMS.
YOU'RE ANOTHER"

Congressman RamSeyer of the Sixth
Iowa district is opposed to the presi-
dents preparedness program. VIII
Ramseyer head a list of volunteers
pledged to fight without guns and am
munition Davenport Times.
AS counter question Ramseyer
might ask the editor of the Times
whether he is ready TO enlist to fight
with guns and ammunition. One ques-
ton has about as much bearing on
the matter in hand as the other.
Then Ramseyer might ask another
question that does bear directly on the
question of raising a big army to be
controlled entirely by the commander
in chief Of the L. S. A Fight whom ?"
says Ramseyer.
We have scoffed at any possible
danger from the Japanese. We have
been told many times that they are
lacking the money and the desire for
another war. Then with whom are
we to fghtc
Not Germany Of course, for Germany
has all the fighting she can attend 10
for some time forward. Not England
or France for similar sufficient rea-
sons. Surely not Austria or Russia.
Those nations will have exhausted
themselves 10 a degree that war with
us would be plain suicide. Fight whom?
Mexico? Colombia?
There are many who oppose the
presidents program who are not lack
ing either in patriotism or common
sense. Let us admit SO much.
Moreover the propositions Of the
Iowa senators should hold Davenport
a while commercially speaking. If we
make our own ammunitions and rifles
and equipment the arsenal will be
busy across on the island, buster per-
haps than the presidents program
would make it.
Let's quit bandying this stuff back
and forth and get down to real bust
ness, to plain. sensible consideration of
the needs Of the country. the pre-
we should have and the
manner Of preparation. There's nothing
to this saying you're another"

AS TO GENERAL CRozIER.
[Des Moines Register.1

DeS MONIES tIGSlSteT.l
Now that General Crozier has been
quoted so literally as opposed to the
Cummns bill to take over the manu-
facture of munitions by the govern
ment, it is Of interest to recall the
statement so recently made on the
floor by Congressman Tavenner, of
Illinois, about General CrozIer.
Congressman Tavenner said:
Il charge that the chief Of ordnance.
who awards these contracts for the
army, has awarded contracts running
into millions OF dollars annually, and
he has paid private manufacturers, and
particularly the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany. from 30 TO 90 per cent more than
these supplies would have cost II man
ufactured in government plants. The
man who awards these contracts, Cen
eral Crozier, was formerly in partner
ship with the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany. He took out patent on what is
known as the Burlington Crozier dis
appearing gun carriage, and he and
another army officer, who was, by the
way, the preceding chief Of ordnance
of the army, sold that patent to the
Bethlehem Steel Company for $4,000:
and he went into a contract with the
Bethlehem Steel Company by which
he was to receive royalties on all of
these disappearing gun carriages that
should be sold to foreign nations. Why,

aristocracy Of character Is the aristoc-

PEANUTTlNG WITH TREATIES.

When the Columbian treaty which
| made abject apology to Columbia and
offered $25,000,0o0 was made public the
country rose in rejection. Mr.. Bryan
| lost friends and supporters as the in
! clination was to blame him as secre-
tary of state for the framing Of con-
tract which was at once a confession
of wrong doing on the part Of this coun-
try and a payment of blackmail. But
now the democratic senate committee
on foreign affairs comes out with a
modification which is no modification.
1t proposes to weaken the language of
apology and pay s15,ooO,o0 instead of
the larger sum.
1t is the cheapest sort of cheap poll
tics. The endeavor is to create a
screen Of scandal behind which demo-
cratic blunders may be set out of sight
and overlooked. That the canal is the
mightiest accomplishment Of the age
gives it no sacredness il it and the
splendid work that led up to it can be
used to partisan advantage. The at
tempt will fail. Nobody believes that
Columbia was injured when the canal
was builded across Panama. Panama
is better off, better governed and the
world is given a highway of commerce
has attained a great defensive gain,
and Columbia is gamer by propinquinty
to a channel of world commerce.
Why should the United States pay
apology or money TO Columbia?
Either we should refuse the demand
as matchmaking proposition pure and
simple. or we should pay more than
SIS, 100000 for an International crime
if such had been committed. Nobody
believes that any such was committed
OF contemplated. Perhaps Mr.. Bryan
believed it Mr.. Bryan is prone to be-
neve almost anything of Theodore
Roosevelt and the republicans. But on
the face of that treaty proposition it
looks very much like a cheap political
play to humiliate the nation and pay
out millions of its money in an endeavor
to gain such partisan advantage az
might be had by casting discredit upon
and administration that pushed the
Panama canal to completion.
When the stuff arrives at the senate
chamber it will be repudiated by re-
publicans and patriotic democrats. That
is a fair prediction.

1t is a common tendency Of the friends
of defeated men to twist simple eS-
pressions Of appreciation into apology.
At least one newspaper in Iowa-and
that is not the Hawkeye-rarely fails
to take advantage of the burial Of q
public man for general attack on all
who had opposed him politically, per-
haps thru the understanding that most
neral or to argue politics over a dead
man.
However, there is nothing in Il. AS
TO Colonel Hepburn who began to grow
tall in Marshall and whose familiarity
with Iowa's earlier development is I'M
questioned and whose ability to tell the
story is beyond argument IL any cared
to argue against it, the statesman in
question was relegated by the voters Of
his own district who were of course
within their voting privileges in so
doing. If we were to go into history it
would be found that he was defeated
by a democrat in a republican district
who won. not upon any peculiar abili-
ties of his own but upon the full grown
refusal of the district to return Colonel
Hepburn. Without doubt there were
republicans in the district who nigh.
have won over Jamieson-if they had
been permitted to push their heads
above the table. That is the history
of the alleged tragedy. 1t IS not an I'M
common one whether we read it in re-
publican or democratic districts where
minority men beat majority men when
the voters Of the district are ready to
help him do it.
Nothing tragical has occurred down
in that district since. The district re-
manned republican. The democrat was
defeated handily by republican can
didate later. The republican congress-
man from the Eighth seems to be hav-
ing no serious trouble in staying in
congress. The delegation from Iowa
at Washington is one that commands
the attention Of congress and is per-
haps the most popular and influential
among the voters generally Of that of
any state.
Colonel Hepburn has been highly
honored within the state Of Iowa by
the people who have honors and place
to bestow. There is no occasion to
term the defeat of politician who
grows old and set in his ways a trag
edy. On the contrary it is the common
way Of progress and development. Per-
haps ali change that supplies the place
of one man with another is tragedy in
its way Most of our personal dis
appointments are tragedies to US but
it is also true that few of them are
public tragedies and most of them pub
lie benefits.
Colonel Hepburn and his defeat are
merely incidents in the progress Of a
stats and country which is making his
tory so fast that many of its changes
appear TO be tragedies when they are
merely forward steps. 1t would be we'll
to go on with the van guard rather
than to stop digging into old camps
and bivouacs resurrecting the ghosts of
old troubles.

Woman Is a tender, sympathetic be-
ing who is put on this earth to share
mans joys and sorrows but not his
pocketbook. For some reason which
has never been satisfactorily explained,
the average husband is willing to let
his wife carry so per cent Of his
troubles, so long as she Is satisfied
with 10 per cent Of the pay check.
Some women rebel against this divi-
sion, and draw up a pre- nuptial con-
tract splitting the proceeds fifty fifty.

den of Eden a number of years ago

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

1.-The big game in national politics
just now is to kill Cummins' boom or
SO that he will not be an important
factor in the national convention" says
the Knoxville Journal. "To this end
all sorts Of rumors are being put
afloat as facts regarding his joining
forces with LaFollette in North Da-
kota, about his opposition to Brandeis,
etc. But the manipula tors will find
out that A. B. Cummins can not be
put out OF the running by such tactics.
His candidacy is the only one rooted
in good soil and his strength in the
national convention is bound to be for
midable."
