The Cross.

The Cross.
Everybody bears cross
Let me not whine,
When mid the sorrow and the bitter
loss
], too, bear mine!
On all the highways of the sunny lant
Men go with dreams and gloom,
And some with swords Of battle IN
their hand.
And some with lily bloom.
Each in his hour to bear
OF life's sweet trust some share:
Each in his strife to know
The shadow and the glow:
Let me in that decree
That shall establish me,
Face lovingly the will
OF life's eternal good
Or of its bitter ill
Strong thru all things so sent
To make me or to mar.
That in my armament
l shall in pulsiag light sail on,
Or fade as yon pale star
Lost in the dawn.
All men are here to take
Their cross as 1t may lie
Upon them for loves sake
And bear it till they die
II is not cross or woe.
Nor tear nor pain nor ache.
But how beneath them all We go
And If our way we make
Upward in spite Of them
To touch At last the lovely glow
OF His white garment hem.

DEEMER AND EVANS.
washington County Press

washington County Press.
Our supreme court is In danger for
the first time In many years. Hereto.
fore it has been s!ngularly free and in
dependent. While other courts all over
the United States have been criticized
so severely as to create a widespread
demand not only for recall of decisions
but also for a recall Of judges
our court has been cited as an
example of democracy and prog
ress in sharp contrast to courts
everywhere controlled by big financial
interests. This enviabIe reputation is
due in great part to Judges Deemer
and Evans. We do not say that all CT
their decisions have been up to the
spirit Of the times but the great
weight is distinctly that way. The
court has been harmonious. indus
trious. highly intelligent and honest.
There has been nc back door into the
Iowa supreme court for anybody.
But something happened two years
ago. Ben Salinger was at the head of
the knights of Pythias of Iowa He
gained his ascendency largely by the
control of railroad passes in the old
days. The writer has personally seen
him with bundle OF several hundred
Of these passes q few days prior to a
X. of P. grand lodge. He used them
to transport the delegates to the grand
lodge and to gain control that he
could use in politics as occasion de-
manded. The occasion arose two years
ago when he became a candidate for
the supreme court. The Knights %
Pythias became a political machine
turnout the state Of Iowa and defeated
Judge Withrow for reelection.
But Salinger is not content with his
personal victory. He already wants
to control the court. To do this he
must displace some Of the other judges
who are not comfortable. He is cauti-
Gus and discreet in his plans and this
time will only seek to beat either
Deemer or Evans. To accomplish this
purpose his recent law partner at
Davenport has become candidate and
his chain letter system is put in oper-
alton and going like chain lightning
The plan might easily have succeeded
in the dark as it did two years ago
but never in the light Of day. The
newspapers have become alarmed In
good time. They are exposing the
scheme all over the state. We believe
the people will re-elect Deemer and
Evans and as a member of the order
we also believe the Knights of Pythias
had better get long way out Of poll
tics and stay.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-General
Carranza's action on the protocol
signed at Atlantic City by the Mexican
American joint commission will be
submitted to the American commits
sioners by the Mexican members at a
preliminary meeting to be held at
Philadelphia, December g. Upon the
nature of the report of Albert J. PAM,
who carried the protocol to Carranza
for his signature, will depend whether
the conferences are to continue in a
further effort to adjust all questions
at issue between the United States
and the de factO government.
Arrangements for the next meeting
were approved by President Wilson at
todays cabinet meeting. Neither Sec
retary Lansing nor Secretary Lane
who heads the American commission
ers, could say definitely whether Car.
rama had signed the protocol.
| Officials here are inclined, however
| to credit unofficial reports that in
stead of affiXing his signature, Car
rama has proposed changes in the
agreement and it is feared that his
attitude may nullify all of the worl
of the commission and cause further
complication.

WARSAW, Dec. 13.-(Via London,

phen of Austria has been selected to
be regent of Poland, with the jros-
pect Of election as king later.
From two Of his daughters the arch
duke derives one qualification for the
Polish throne--they having been mar
ried to two of the most prominent
members of the Polish aristocracy,
Prince Radziwill and Prince Car,

ried out of the charmed inner circle
Of royalty, to Lieutenant Won kloss,
a naval officer whom she met at Pola.
Archduke Charles Stephen is also
adequately provided with those as
sets of royalty-sons to insure the
succession, having three sons, arch
dukes. His elder sister is the queen
mother, Maria Christiana of Spain.
His elder brother is Archduke Fred
erick, commander of the Austrian
armies, in whose wife, the Archduch-
ess, Isabella, Archduke Sharles Ste
phen has a confidant and counsellor.

This man must pile up goods so
made at time when credit Is costly
and taxes are advancing for sale at
a future time which may be distant
and in markets whose current move
ments he may not know and of whose
future conditions no one can tell him.
He NAV not be able to say whether
styles, designs, colors and dimensions
and many other elements OF the goods
he makes will suit when the unknown
day shall arrive when he can offer
them for sale. Nor will he know
whether in the interval industries
shall not have sprung up in the place
where he would sell, that will make
the vending of his product there inn
possible.
For a manufacturer under condi-
tions of this kind to pile up goods
would be almost an act of industrial
insanity and certainly not one whose

should be thought dangerous

Economic alliances are formed, the
secretary declared, not as offensive
weapons but as a defense.
"These movements can not be
looked upon as if .thev were weapons
backed by exceptional ), economic
power On the contrary saner view
is to regard them as weapons forged
to overcome unusual economic weak
ness They are not the outcome of
developing strength but of increasing

Economic alliances may come and

IF we were asked the message
which at the end of 80 years conneC
