Conditions in this country mad taken
On decided democratic tinge in the
months preceding the outbreak Of war
in Europe. Merchants will remember
full well the stagnation Of the early
months Of 1914. They were buying
from hand to mouth. A glance over
the commercial reports of that TINS
will remind that unemployment was
becoming serious. The commercial

olearances commercial failures wero
high, collections in many states were
practically impossible. Iowa with ner
bank accounts and power to draw
wealth out Of the soil was a CONNER
cial oasis. The travelling men swarmed
over the state because Iowa still con-
tinued to buy cautiously and could pay
for what she bought with fair prompts
tude. But the hoodoo that accom-
panies democratic ascendency was be-
ing felt by the rest of the country.
Then came the war and after the shock
of adjustment industry began to feel
the stimulation of war prices on
products.
What when the war Is over, as It
must be over ere long. Every forced
stimulation has it's corresponding re-
action At present we have large
percentage of the worlds gold In our
hands. Europe is buying two billions
year more from us in war than in
peace. But when the war ends that
will cease and abruptly. So says
Chairman Hurley, Of the federal trade
committee, who declares that Europe
is reorganizing on a basis to shut
European markets to American pro-
ducers and to invade American mar
kets with her cheap products. England,
for example, proposes to feed herself
from her colonies and to cease buying
wheat and other foodstuffs from the
United States.
An economic war Of combined groups
Of European nations against the United
States is the prospect.
Go back to former democratic as
ministrations and former democratic
times" Look over the records. In

with the records Of republican admin

PERHAPS HE'S MOI so DRY.

The Coon Rapids Enterprise, in its
zeal for Harding, has possibly dis
PEELED a beautiful delusion as to its
candidate for there now seems to be
some doubt even as to that total alb
stinence of which he has boosted be-
fore chautauquas.
The Enterprise addressing Dr. Hill
man. Methodist minister of Des Moines
and president of the Anti Saloon
League, complained because DR.. Hill
man had cited no instance in which
Mr.. Harding ever signed saloon Pc
tition. or served liquor in his home
or at banquets, to which DR.. Hilmau
replies, saying that he was dealing
with legislative records and not with
private life, but
IF men who have a good reputation
for truthfulness are to be believed Mr..
Harding has off ended at least as much
against the principle of total abstin-
ence as has M Meredith. Only Mr..
Meredith has teen frank enough 10 ad-
nit his fault, Mr.. Harding as usual
has played the political contortionist.
AS far as l know neither man has
taken liquors in his home. | have It
direct from Mr.. Meredith that he has
not and that he has never drunk either
whisky or beer
But the private habit of these two
men is not the issue. Rather what
has been their record with regard to
the presence of the saloon and the or
ganized liquor traffic and what does
their past record prophecy as TO future
action.
During the time that Mr.. Harding
was voting and working against dry
legislation and appointing hostile COM
mittees in the senate Mr.. Meredith was
writing editorials for his paper against
the saloon and the liquor business.
On the stump Mr.. Meredith has
been frank, outspoken, direct; Mr..
Harding has been evasive, shfty and
wild in his statements.
Mr.. Harding is receiving the snp-
port of the liquor interests. 1t has
been my uniform observa ton that the
whisky OK knows its owner and the
liquor ass its masters crib
Now it is up to the Coon Rapids En-
terprise to obtain from Mr.. Harding
direct a statement that he has never
drunk liquor before it can consistently
proceed with its kind of a campaign.
DR.. Hillmans usually truthful men
are undoubtedly lying in ambush.
There is new hat in it. too, for the
Des Moines Register has offered the
best hat to be had in the state for q
signed statement from Harding that he
never drank liquor in Des Moines.

OFFERING HELP IN CORN Husklne.

A big job is at hand In Iowa This
state will produce 373,000.00O bushels
of corn. based on the government esti
mate Of the crop. If the average corn
husker is able to put about seventy
five bushels Of corn in the crib daily
it means about 100000 days work to
gather the crop. II he gets cents a
bushel that means 50 a day or SIS, 00O,-
900 in wages in round numbers. If the
corn sells or is fed to bring its ownes
50 cents a bushel it is worth on the
market the sweetly sounding sum Of
s225, 100000. But the experts estimate
is that the entire crop will be worth
s2s7, 900 which is s72,o00.0O0 more
than that Of last year. 1t is vast job,
a big thing in bushels and dollars and
requires an army to gather it, this corn
crop OF 1915 in Iowa.
There is always a serious lack Of la
Dor for the corn harvest in Iowa. The
husking drags on and into the snow
fall and certain losses occur each year
thru the delayed harvest.
The state employment agency Of
which many farmers have not even
heard proposes TO lend assistance this
year in furnishing corn harvesters.

most lines this fall. That labor for

agency may be able to make itself a
very useful department to those seeking
labor and to labor seeking work. How
ever, its usefulness will depend to q
great degree on the applications made
from both angles. AS regards the corr
husking the bureau is going about it ir
