The smile is wide crack in the hui
man countenance running east and
west. 1t is one of the finest decora-
tons which can be put on the face, far
exceeding in beauty and charm the
string mustache and the bright red
splashes impaired by the rouge pot.
The smile is caused by two things
the mind and the stomach. When a
mans mind Is all Uttered up with worry
and his best customers order goods by
telephone rather than face a long.
threatening book account the smile
backs into some dark retreat and curls
up in corner. But when the crop
comes in and the dulcet chimes of the
cash register fall on the cooked ear of
the proprietor, the mouth peels back
ward gently from ear to ear, exposing
the remnants of once proud set Of
teeth. This teaches us that the way to
wear perpetual. non shrinking smile
is to think sweet thoughts and refuse
to look a sight draft in the face.
The state of the stomach also in
fiuences the smile capacity of most peo-
Pile. When the stomach is restless and
distraught and acts as if it would like
to be engaged in some other line of
work, it will not be able to produce one
good radiant smile week. One of the
greatest heroes we have is the man
burdened with all of the known forms
Of sleep walking dyspepsia and who is
yet able to summon a sixteen candle
power smile whenever the same will
help CLOSE deal. We are reminded by
this that the partially shown in dis
tributing Carnegie medals to life-savers
and ignoring the sunny tempered dys-
peptic is a greater disappointment than
the presidential primary.
When the smile reaches the acute
stage of development it is called grin.

From Race to Caresses.

II is with something akin to dlsmay
and skepticism that the American peo-
pie, or at least a majority OF them,
view the remarkable change that has
come over this governments attitude
toward Mr.. Carranza.
Considering the preciptateness with
which the punitive expedition against
Villa was launched and the impetuos-
ity with which the National Guard was
called out we seem to be exhibiting
a surprising degree OF cordially.
Not only are We ready to ignore the
Carranza incident, which still stands
as an open and deliberate attack on
American forces. admittedly ordered,
authorized and approved by Carranza
himself: not only are we inferentiai-
" willing to forego the satisfaction OF
catching Don panchn villa, though
only four months ago we hit the war
path with Dead or Alive" as our
slogan: but in order that there may
BIO no doubt as to our friendship and
kindness we are prepared to promise
capital, to hire MI. CarranZa to be
nice.
The American people are disappoint-
ed. not because they view the posi-
bilities Of conquest with satisfaction,
not indeed because they expect con-
quest even If war with Mexico even
tuate; but because they do not like
such capriciousness, such seeming
lack of purpose on the part Of their
government
Changeableness of policy on the part
Of an individual is to be expected and
tolerated, but we like to believe that
a sovereign government, especially a
sovereign government compounded of
the mass intelligence Of all it's people
as this one is supposed to be. is
guided by a wisdom and a foresight
which precludes the necessity of such
abrupt and complete reversals.-

Naturally Candidate Hughes has
lost some of that apparent austerity
with which people credited him. It's
hard TO be austere and run for an
office. And notice how Hughes is
running. From general appearances
he'll touch home when his opponents
are somewhere around second base.
Austere nothing. He's going like a
thoroughbred. It's the other fellow
that's running like austere.

A WORD FOR GARST


lDave Brant in Iowa City Republican,
The Boone Republican and some
other papers, are trying to belittle
Warren Garst because he has declared
against Harding. Some of them go so
far as to intimate that his opposition
is better than his support. Every man
has his good points and his weak
nesses, and Gov Garst is no excep-
ton. His one weakness is an over
constituencies. He was manager of the
Cosson campaign and naturally
wanted his friend to win, and possibly
the poor showing made was a severe
disappointment to the manager There
is nothing gained by ridiculing any
body especially a man of Governor
Garst's standing. He has a legislative
career in which he did good service
for the state. He was lieutenant gov
ernor and conducted the affairs of his
office with impartiality and with
credit. He was governor only short
time, but he has the ability and the
experience necessary to serve full
terms and do good work for the state.
The way to make any mans boiling
proclivities dangerous is to abuse him.
to ridiCule him. Governor Garst is a
man Of broad liberal ideas and of
sufficient independence to make his
plans effective.
