Nearly $4,000, 100000 worth of
goods have been shipped from the
United States during the past year.
The great war is responsible for this
remarkable record How could this
country be other than prosperous I'M
der such conditions. The test of our
ability to prosper under normal con-
ditions, after this abnormal state of
affairs, will come when the war is
over. At that time a steady hand is
needed at the wheel and right &C.
onomic principles must prevail.

They are falling speeders in Des
Moines and it is reported that the
speed laws are now better observed
in that city than in any city in the
state. If there is man in the coun-
try who ought to be in Jail for the
country's good it is the fool behind

Appropos of President Wilson's
declaration that he is ashamed o!
the timidity of American business
men, in the face of their foreign
competitors, Leslie NJ Shaw, former
Secretary of the Treasury, points out
that the late j. J. Hill showed nc
such timidity, that on the contrary
he showed great courage and enter
prise in establishing steamship
line to the Orient, that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Co. did the same
thing, and that President Wilson, by
signing the La Toilette bill, signed
the death warrant of American ship
lping ON the Pacific, turning it over
| to the Japanese, and Gov. Shaw
points out further that it was "fear
and trembling" in the face of what
| he conceived to be the wishes of the
labor voters which made Mr.. Wilson
sign the Seamanship bill. He says
further that the late e. H. Harri-
man conceived the idea of great
railway system to traverse Mexico
and connect this country by rail with
all the Latin American republics and
that by his Mexican policy Mr. Will
son has set back that project at least
half century, and that most of Mr..
Wilson's Mexican policy has been
prompted by his fear and trembling
lest he lose SO much political CAPT
tai as might be made by the untrue

The Iowa Homestead charges that
E. r. Meredith, reform candidate for
governor, was in the Idaho land
scheme with Prof. Holden through
which a lot Of practically worthless
land was sold to number of Iowa
people. Webster City is the home
of an old gentleman who lost small
fortune in that venture. There is
also woman residing in this town,
a widow at that, who was induced
to invest in the land offered by this
Iowa syndicate. Frank Gotch also
put Mr.. Meredith in black and white
as member of the party who Undue
ed large number of Iowa people to
invest in that Idaho real estate.

service? They both mean the same
We found the offices we'll guarded by
SWIVEL service, and our only regret
was that we couldn't pry more of
the appointees loose and fill their
places with democrats. If there is
any Office under the government that
a democrat can't fill I believe that
office should be abolished. Vice
President Marshall.
Yet the democratic party, includ-
ing such lights as Woodrow Wilson
and Thomas Marshall, have been
pretending to favor civil service re-
form. The democratic platforms
have demanded it and democratic or
acles and newspapers have advocat-
ed it. Yet when the democratic par
ty gets into power its officers tear
off the mask and reveal their own
and their party's hypocrisy.
