REPUBLICANS BE ACTIVE

1t is important that republicans be
alert at this stage of the campaign.
Democracy is in the flush of it's vic
tory OF four years ago when the re-
publican party was in two sections.
This year because there has been un.
ion there has been a little tendency
to take it for granted that success
was assured. In the meantime the
democracy has not been sleeping.
The same determined spirit that pos.
sesses the local organization and can.
didates is apparent in the larger or.
ganization. The campaign funds have,
under the vigorous solicitation OF
Treasurer Marsh. flowed into Demo,
cratic headquarters till it is evident
they have plenty of money to spend to
make a vigorous finish in the cam
paign. And they propose to do their
utmost to win.
So important is it for the welfare
of the country that republican policies
prevail the next four years that every
one believing in protective tariff, in
a foreign policy that will maintain
the standing of the United States, in
policy toward Mexico that will re-
store respect fer this country and re-
gard for the lives of it's people, in a
government of reason and not of chang
ing whims, in efficiency in administra.
ton, in the selection of appointees,
because of ability, and in calling a
halt to enormous expenditures, should
rally to the cause of republicanism.
Mahaska county is one unit in the
great mass that is to decide the cleo
ton. 1t is important that the repUbli,
cans of this county be on the firing
line working for the cause they be
lieve in. and for the candidates who
represent the party. Every candidate
on the county. ticket should be elected
if they are men competent and trust
worthy, and they are. No untrust-
worthy man in any county should ever
be elected. But the republicans have
put up a ticket with which fault can
not be found in this county, and it
deserves support.
Leading the cause of republ;canism
this year is that splendid American,
Charles E. Hughes. whose public
service has been one OF singular de
cotton to the public interest. With
this type of man as it's standard bear
er the republican party should go
fearlessly into the political conflict de
termined to win, and while electing
those in high places on the ticket
make sure that those running for
local places be chosen also.

SUCCESSFUL MEN

Financial Review: Did you ever
stop to think that only five men in a
hundred make a financial success in
life and carry it through to the end?
Only four and three-tenths per cent
leave an estate of from $500 to $1,000
when they die. Only one and five
tenths per cent leave more than $685.
900, and only one and eight-tenths
per cent leave an estate of from $4,000
to $4,000. In other words, 81 men out
of every 100 fail to leave an estate Of
more than $1,000 at their death. Many
men have amassed fortunes. but have
lost them again before they die. Nine
ty-five per cent of the men above 65
years of age are dependent upon rela-
tives or others to help them during
the balance of their lives. These fig
ures are startling, but as they are
those furnished by the best statistics
in the United States. they must be

for the bench. Ethically, this is wrong
for it is of vital Importance that the
very best available material shall be
selected for the highly important po-

state. In Iowa the office is elective
and encountered by an absurd primary
law. The nominees for judges are not
included in the party state ticket, but
are printed at one side-to the right
of the ballot-and consequently are
often overlooked by the voter.

Burlington Hawkeye: Barnes City
is a small place in Mahaska and Powe.
shiek counties. Small, but not able to
find room in one Iowa county. Barnes
City is to have electric lighting, and
it will be home product. There will
be no expensive system of carrying
the current from soma big plant, but
it will be generated right there in
Barnes City, by home concern, which
has been generating power for its own
use. There will be seventeen street
lengths, and stores and private homes
will be supplied. 1t grew out OF a
small plant, which supplied garage
and a moving picture house and the
opera house. No doubt it will prove a
benefit for the town. and other i'm

No Direct Vote Now

So much has been said about wet
and dry candidates, that many PEG,
pie have been led to believe that Con
stitutional Prohibition is to be voted
upon at the coming election. Such is
not the case.
The only way in which the Prohibit
ton question enters into the present
campaign is through candidates for
the Legislature Men friendly to the
cause should be elected to that body
il the amendment is desired
The coming legislature must adopt
the amendment before it can be sub
mitted to a vote of the people for fin
al action. No other candidate what so
ever has anything to do with the pro-
hibition except those for the senate
and house of representatives in the
coming general assembly.
At the present time Iowa is under
Statutory Prohibition. That is, we are
under a law enacted by the Legisla-
ture and held good by the counts. This
law, however, could easily be chang
ed by any coming legislature.
What is demanded now is to write
Prohibition into the Constitution Of
Iowa so that 1T may be fxed-prac-
tically for all time to come as the
process of Constitutional amendments
is slow and difficult.
Therefore the friends of Prohibition
should pick out the candidate to the
Legislature who best represents their
views and vote for them. This is the
only way that Prohibition may be
in the election.
And in this connection it is well to
keep In mind which party has done
the most for the cause. and support
that ticket from top to bottom.

HOSTILE TO FARMERS.

Henry N. Pope, president of the AS
ISOLATION of State Farmers Union
Presidents, has issued a statement in
pamphlet form to members of the union
pointing out determinations in the Un-
derwoOd tariff against the agricultural
interests favoring protection on all
farm products and demanding a revi-
sion of the tariff so that the farmers
will not be compelled to sell in q free
market and buy in protected one. In
discussing the subject the head of the
union said: 1.-THE effect of the Under
wood tariff acts to protect capital and
labor engaged in manufacturing and
to expose to world competition capital
and labor engaged in production. 1t
Is perhaps the most antagonistic
expression congress ever made toward
the agricultural interests of this ma
ton, and had not the European war
arrested it's operation, would have
wrought disaster to the farmers of the
country. This tariff gives a protec-
ton Of approximately six billion dollars
gagged in manufacturing, but gives no
protection to the farms. When released
from war influences this tariff will
reduce the selling price of farm prod
ucts approximately a billion dollars
per annum. 1t brings capital and labor
employed on the farm in direct compe-
titiOn with free lands in primitive
countries and cOmpels the farmer to
compete with wild men who live in
trees and caves and raise their chill
dren in nakedness and ignorance. The
only purpose and the only result of
taking agricultural products off the
protected and placing them ON the free
list was to reduce the price. The act
was therefore deliberately unfriendly
to the farmers of the nation. The next
session of congress should revise the
tariff and get back to the soil with
protection. Giving to the pillow the
same friendly consideration that is
now given to the factory.

PUBLICITY Is BEST.

Absolute frankness with the pub
lie on all phases of local health work
Through the newspapers) was urged
by DR.. John f. Anderson, president
of the American Public Health Asso-
citation, in session in Cincinnati.
The old attitude of concealment is
rapidly giving way before a new ap-
probation by health departments of
the value of frankness in the hand
ling of epidemics," said Dr. Arder-
son. The progress of the new idea
however, must be greatly accelerated
If we are to avoid the many evil eff
fects OF the policy of concealment.
The recent epidemic of Policmy-
elitis in New York City is a most i'm
pressive example of the value of
frankness. Health Commissioner
Emerson is to be congratulated ON
his handling of the situation. The
daily statements of the progress of
the epidemic given so frankly and
freely to the people of the city, had
three very notable results.
First it resulted in hundreds of
cases being reported that would not
otherwise be brought to the atten-
ton of the department.
Second it caused parents to exer-
else unusual care of their children
which in turn resulted in their bring
ing to the attention of physicians
even slight symptoms of Illness which
frequently resulted"in early diagnosis
of paralysis and consequently sue
cessful treatment where delay might
have resulted otherwise.
Thirdly, the health department so
established itself in the confidence of
the people that any announcement it
made in regard to the epidemic was
accepted as authoritative. Thus, it
was that when the department an
nOunCed that the situation was grow
ing better, people of the city believ-
ed it and acted upon it's advice to
open the. schools. Children were
brought back to town and permitted
to attend school.
These very striking examples of
taking the public into the confidence
of health department may well be
adopted as a guiding example by
health departments who still cling to
the notion that concealment of cpl
denies benefits the community.
"Epidemics are, in one respect,
like compressed air in a tank. You
can keep it in the tank up to GER
tain pressure point then the tank will
burst. The greater the pressure the
louder will be the noise and the
greater the damage Damage result
ing from sudden explosion of an cpl
demic has been the experience Of ev-
cry city that has tried to conceal cpl
demic facts"
