THE HISTORY THAT IS FADING.

The Iowa Journal of History and
Politics. published quarterly ny me
State Historical Society from the uni
versity town has of late been con-
tributing some very interesting history
Of Indian agencies and of the opening
and settlement of the Des Molnes river
valley. AS part of the latter article
the current number deals with the
history and development of the Mus
uuakies and the so-called ''Tama reser-
vation." 1t is interesting and highly
valuable history and would be Of value,
il should seem, in Iowa schools as well
as of local interest in this secti,c OF
the state. .-..
The value Of the state journal sug-
gests that a semi-annual journal OF
similar character devoted TO county
history and politics would meet APP
proval probably sufficient to pay its
own way We are losing great deal
of yalua Die and interesting history by
the departure to the far country of
those who helped mahe it and oI which
no written record exists. The files OF
such a publication would be literally
Invaluable as q record of the real de-
velopment Of the counties.
We are too busy with other things TO
take effective action for the preserva-
ton Of local history. We neglect To
mark spots Of great interest. The Nor
mon camping ground on Mormon
Ridge is a case in point. A few years
ago there lived those in the county
who could place ii accurately. IL
should have been marked and the his
tory Of its famine and courage fairly
set forth by those who were closest
to the tradition.
The Iowa Journal Of History and
Politics is doing excellent work for the
state In its Investigations and publica-
tons of early Indian and pioneer his
tory. Some person Of a historical turn
should do as much for the county he
lives in. -.

PLATO.

Plato was a prominent citizen OF
Greece who was born several hundred
years b. c., and succeeded In dying a
natural death. He, had several first
rate opportunities tOs commit suicide,
but preferred TO live a long, useful
life, surrounded by luxury and the
treacherous Greek adjective. which the
tipally subdued and taught to, eat out
OF his hand. .a ay $3.50 X
Plato was a pupil Of the unfortunate
Socrates, one of tina best men that
Greece ever produced but who came
t. sad end by drinking something
that caused him to- expire in a heart
felt manner. Plato used to, .sit at
Socrates feet and drink in the Greek
parts of speech as they flowed in ar,
unceasing stream. i from his neatly
| parted beard. and when SOCRATES had
gone hence Plato. took oyer his prac :

days Of the campaign. Occasionally the
marching files met a counter demon
stration at street corner. The result
was similar to a junction Of a st. Pat
rick's day parade with an Orange pro-
cession, and torches swung, oil scat
tered and oil cloth ytabards strewed the
streets like the autumn leaves in the
familiar quotation And when Bob In
gersoll stood out on the platform finally
to deprecate violence with grin and
to state his unalterable conviction that
every democrat was not a horsethief
but that every horsethief was demo-
crat good old deacons who thoroughly
believed Bob was to be roasted In a spe-
cial fire in Hades cheered him to the
echo. The Podunk marching club drove
forty miles to that rally with the Po-
dunk bandwagon in the lead filled with
bandsmen in bright red uniforms
slashed with white braid and everybody
yelled all the way there and all the
way back-except few perhaps who
had been entertained not wisely but too
well.
Pshaw boy. if you think this was
loud and lively campaign you ought to
have lived thru a real campaign that
began early in June and finished the
night before election. in the days when
oratory was at premium. when the
weekly papers called each other every.
name in the catalog and the tri-weekly
New York Tribune, ranked next in au-
thority to the Scriptures in republican
households and the Chicago Times was
a sacred fire on every democratic FAM
lily altar of politics. When Old Greeley
and Old Storey were duplicates Of the
devil, horned and barbed tailed, depend
ent upon the side of the shield. If you
craved excitement all you had to do
was to wait four years. 1t came then
regular as clockwork. s-
Maybe we needed more excitement
then, craved it more and hunted for it
harder. There were no picture shows
and such like then, clubs and club
houses were few. lodges didn't meet
every night in the week, church broth
erhoods were unknown and there was
dearth Of pumpkin pie and coffee. Folks
used to be at home nights then. even
the boys and girls. But campaign
was a campaign in those times thing
to stir the blood.

Hungary would set up as an indepen-

interest by every one who recalled the
fact that Poland was formerly great

is because they do no drinking Of red

IOWA BELONGS TO HARDIN :.

The only democrat ever elected gov
ernor in Iowa since the civil war was
elected because he was wet. Horace
Boles. twice elected governor to en-
force the prohibitory law with lib
eral accent, successfully proved to the
voters of the state that prohibition was
not enforceable and saloons returned
TO Iowa unGer the mulct petition Of
consent. 1t was not in the cards in a
presidential year to elect democrat in
Iowa who was dry and that is the
lesson of the returns in this state.
Harding, the republican candidate,
altho openly repudated by thousands
Of republicans. will have a plurality
over his dry democratic opponent far
above, that Of Hughes, republican can
didate for president. This increase will
be found IN the wet precincts such as
the large cities and the homes of Ger
man AmericaI liberals. Complete re-
turns are not yet in for comparison but
enough have been reported to deter
mine the trend. Dubuque county,
normally democratic by more than to
l, has been carried by Harding. Polk
county, which includes the city of Des
Moines and large coal mining pop
ulation, has probably gone democratic
on president but in spite Of Meredith
hpino Dpc NniraS arIi will
have $500 plurality there. Johnson
county, the seat of the state univer-
sity town which hung on to its saloons
until statewide prohibition came. is
normally democratic by to and goes
democratic on president this time but
Johnson county has reserved a plural
lty for Harding, republican.
When all the returns are in it will
be seen that wet democrats and wet
republicans have voted their principles
together with clear understanding of
the issue while thousands upon thou
sands OF other republicans have voted
with them for reasons mostly of party
regularity.
Those who have demonstrated and
protested a the rape of the republican
party organization by the liquor inter-
ests find a vindication of the truth Of
their indictments in the tremendous
lead which Harding has received over
Hughes in this election. His election
is not surprise TO any one. His
expected and more OF it. If anybody
still has his doubts as to the purposes
of the liberals in this campaign let him
analyZe the returns from the state Of
Dubuque or from any other river city,
or precinct of known and pronounced
wet sentiment.
The legislature of Iowa is to DE dry.
There will be no abandonment Of pro-
hibition In this winters session. That
was not the purpose of the liquor in
terests. Prohibition would be some
what difficult to defeat in an open
years OF enforcement Of our prohibit
tory laws by the vets. BY that time
their hope Is that many Of US who
would vote dry today will be ready to
embrace the legalized saloon as the
lesser OF two evils. The purpose has
been TO redeem Iowa by a safe but
sure route just ss the liquor dealers
trade journal explained to it's consti.
tuency during the campaign. Harding
is to be our governor and the size OF
his plurality will justify the delivery
Of the state to his best friends.
