Beautiful Spring.

(By Iona Of the Ozarks, Poetess and Natur-
alist.)
o, springtime of love and dreamy
hours,
Mingled with sunshine, hearts and
fow'rs;
You fit like a fairy DER the lee,
Bringing gladness to all you SEA
You bring the bluebe lis and daisies
feet,
Daffodills and violets sweet.
To hill and dale new beauty you lend,
AS deftly your emblems you blend.
To the mystic you give new theme,
And new life to the languid stream;
To the sunshine, thine celestial hue,
And with magic touch CLINT the dew.
You call the birds, one so loves to
hear,
Back again to their ideal sphere,
And in the woodland your praise
they sing;
AS we greet you-Beautiful Spring!

THE FEDDT ,ER.
ITraer STAR


The itinerant peddler is destroyer
of local business enterprises. He pays
no taxes. he pays 70 rent. hires no help.
buys no clothing or lumber or hard
ware or jewelry Of the local merchants.
He employs no local attorney, pa
tronizes no local dentist, contributes TO
no local church or fraternal organiza-
ton. Because of these things, we I'M
pose a license fee upon him in order
TO force him to help pay local govern
mental expenses and also to give the
local business men the protection to
which they are justly entitled. For ex-
actly the same reason. we impose i'm
port customs duties upon foreigners
who ship goods into this country. We
do not believe in a system of govern
ment revenue. which makes the home
business man pay all the taxes ana
then permits the foreigner to- sell his
cheap goods here free. We believe in
high import taxes for two reasons-t1
make the foreigner pay for the privi-
lege of doing business here. and to
protect the home business man. This
IS not partisan politics-it is plain BUS
mess sense. The political party which
will not support such policy is not
merely lacking in political sagacity-
Il l., lacking in business sense. we
would not stand for a city council that
repealed the peddlers' license nor Will
we stand for a national administration
that repeats the protective tariff duties.

TERMS.
IN THE TUNNELS.

twenty-five men are dead in a tun =
mel under Lake Erie and twelve Others
are entombed while frantic efforts are
under way toward rescue. The news
will catch the eye and arouse the deep
est sympathy of every reader.
And over across the seas 1000 600
men are entombed, dying from shell en-
plosons, gas asphyxiation, and every
other form in which one man may bring
death to another. All the inventive
genius of this inventive age is being
brought to bear on the problem of
Gripping and killing and destroying
men.
The armies that are being forced
against each other on the Somme and
at Nerdun are in tunnel as deadly and
as horrible as that under Lake Erie.
They look back toward their homes and
their wives and their children and the
peace Of home as those who crouch
hoping and listening for the voice of
rescuers in the closed tunnel beneath
the lake at Cleveland. They are as
hopeless and helpless as those others.
The peasant who should be singing in
the harvest field is dying in the tunnel
under the surges of hate as surely as
the workman shut away from life by
the sealed drift under the lake.
One is accident the other design
One went into danger to add to the
wealth and comfort and peace of the
community and to earn the wage that
keeps the fire bright on his own hearth
The other is forced into his tunnel to
crafty hate, to satisfy the clamor Of
trade, as a pawn in the game Of the
powerful.
The men under the lake are objects
Of the deepest sympathy of every one
who reads of their plight. What then
of the plight of those millions crowded
into the deadly tunnels of political
and trade war?

MISTAKEN PATRIOTISM.

When the Sixth Pennsylvania arrived
a Clearfield, a little town on the old
H. 81 S. in southern Iowa the dis
patches relate that Mary Hainsey. de-
scribed AS pretty girl displayed her
patriotic spirit by starting in to kiss all
the soldier boys. 1t is asserted that
not one man in the first section lost
out.
that Mary mistook inclination and
plain foolishness for patriotic fervor
on this joyful occasion. There is an
ancient and more or less excellent
conclusion against promiscuous kissing.
Marys ma holds it. So does Mary's
fellow. And generally the prevailing
sentiment is that the ripe lips of our
pretty girls do not belong in the ma
chine gun division, sowing kisses in
let's. Mary got right into the public
eye all right. Mayhap that was in
Marys mind when she started her
drive. But at that Mary achieved lit
tie but notoriety. Any good looking
girl could have got by with it-even a
Mexican-and an average locker would
have been met with three hearty cheers
by bunch Of lads seeking excitement
and variety after a thousand miles or
so of car travel Why Mary, a militia
man will kiss most anybody.
Let's hope the incident will not grow
into custom. Sure, girls run down to
the depot when the troop train comes
in, cheer in those fine treble voices of
yours and wave those handkerchiefs.
Smile. of course upon the nations de-

the border you just send mother down

long run.

LANDLORDS AND THE CROOKED TENANTS.

From Sioux City an appeal is being
cision that will put the responsibility
up IN property owners Of knowing
or not their property is being
used for immoral purposes. The case
IS one wherein an injunction was
asked and where the owner was re-
lieved by the presiding judge because
he asserted he didn't know the uses
to which his building was being d.
verted
OF course the supreme court is en-
titled to the last guess at it but II
locks TO the lay observer that the ap-
peal is full Of merit. 1t there is any
reason why n landlord should no,
interest himself 20 .1G~ what Is
doing in his buildings it isn't particu-
larry apparent. He never fails tc
look after the rent and he expects the
community to protect the building
against fire and malicious damage
A good many landlords who would
know if the tenant brbke a window
seem especially ignorant and nor
Interested if the tenant breaks the law
The easiest excuse possible when
trouble comes is to advance the plea
and accommodating things a judge
