experience Of practical politics has
taught me, among other things, that
the Congressional Union is being used,
at the present time, as tool by the

All Along Line.

Iowa has shared in the general
prosperity of the nation under the
Wilson administration, as shown by
volumes of statistics issued by the
state and federal government gen.
eral summaries showing remarkable
gains in the value Of farm products,
in the number of automobiles pur-
chased by Iowans, by gross and net
gains of Iowa railroads, by the in
crease Of the number of Iowa fac
tories, the number of laborers en-
ployed and the pay they receive, and
by the reports of bank deposits.
The summary of 1916 crop and
market reports and the business
boom are unavailable, but it is pos
sible to compare the last three years
of the Taft administration with the
first three years of Wilson and demo-
cratic rule in a way to show that
Iowa has shared in the general pros
perity.
Reports of the Iowa weather and
crop service show that the average
price of corn per bushel for the last
three years of Taft was AZ cents, and
for the first three years of Wilson
was So cents. Indications point to
80-cent corn for 1916 and bumper
crop.
What Corn Prices Show.

shows the average price of corn per
bushel for three years of. Taft as

Fair Supposition,

My sister sent her little boy to
nearby grocery to get box OF can
rubberS. The clerk, not knowing the
desired kind or quality, sent two boxes
home with Paul, telling him to bring
back the one his mother didn't want.
After long time Paul came home.
When my sister asked him why he

couldn't remember to save his little
soul. At last he looked up brightly
and said: Don't you s'pose they need

all those burdened years, has been the
voice that to some of us had seemed
muted and overborne by class hatreds
and racial hatredS. and the snar!ing
scramble for dividends.
However the coming election may
turn, the pages of American history
which President Wilson has written
these past four years will be forever
illumined with the white light of Stars,
and our children and grandchildren
will indeed have cause to thank God
for Woodrow Wilson.

This shows a gain for three years
under Wilson rule of 8,9SO,298,
or an average per year of $52,993,-
436, enough to buy 10000 more
automobiles for Iowa farmers. This
advance in crop values accounts for
the marked advance in the price of
Iowa land.

LONDON. December 27.-'The al
lies will certainly not accept Ger
manys proposals in her note to
America for immediate peace confer
ences. That was made very clear
today.
The Teutonic reply to President
Wilson's note was hailed here as af-
fording splendid opportunity fer
Great Britain and her allies to set be-
fore the world statement in which
to concretely epitomiZe the ideals
and aims of the entente nations in
the war. By her lack of insincerity in
responsiveness and inclination TO
elusveness in her reply, Great Brit
ain holds that Germany herself is
her peace proffer. Strong influences
are at work today urging Great Brit
ain to make this insincerity still more
striking by such statement of the
entente's fighting principles. The
British public Is inspired by what is
termed lack of sincerity in real peace
suggestions Germanys reply more or
less reveals an overwhelming desire
for peace England attributed anx-
iety for cessation of hostilities to
Germany's realization of her
waning strength and of her
desire to make peace now when she
is yet strong. From now on Britons
believe that Germany realizes that
her enemies are waxing stronger
while she grows weaker.

The first was an unsolicited state

focused on the border.
The second was an announcement

this week.
Up 10 noon today no word had
been received as to whether Carran-
"a had signed the troop withdrawal
protocol as agreed upon by the COM
mission.
In a statement the state depart
