The school board has decided that
school will open on September 4, says
the Filler Journal. This is about a
week earlier than school opened last
year. The change is necossitats6 by
the fact that the teachers institute is
to be held at an earlier date. 1t is
also desired to have school well un-
der way by the time the county fair
opens. The school will have an inn
portant part in this affair and the
board has thought it wise to dismiss
school altogether during the three
days when there would be conflict.
A historical pageant is being planned
for the school, which will be given on
children's day of the fair. The cleo

TWENTY MINUTES WELL SPENT.

John H. Finley, New York states commits
|sioner of education, has issued instructions ZOE
! the administration of law which makes TWEEN
| ty minutes of physical exercise in schools COM
Ipulsory Despite the cutlery OF the paclflst
mothers who see or say they see in this compul-
sion the beginning of the turning OF America s
young into wardogs Of the future, sensible peo-
Iple will heartily approve the measure and Will
Hook for benefits from its enforcement. Today
the people of the United States have courage;
the one thing they have not got is physical
stamina
| We have always loved athletics We have our
penchant for tennis and baseball. We made
baseball our national game We reduced foot
ball to a science and we have led in the Olym-
pic games. And from all this we have taken
ourselves seriously as an athletic people. But
this is a total mistake When we all played
ball we were physically fit; but when we devel-
oped the scientific game of baseball and took
interest only in seeing the few men who could
play it very well in action, we became seden-
tary spectators and our national game lost it's
value to the nation. When any athletic sport
becomes one for the very few who are skilful
at it, it to be valuable to people at large.
If an American runner always wins, this means
nothing; but if there is news Of widespread
running, of very poor running it may be, but
with verybody at it, this means that running is
a national asset; it means that the nation is lit
orally on its feet.
In the past twenty five years we have be-
come sedentary nation, physically lazy ma
ton. It is time we took to physical action, in
school and out of it. There is too large per-
cent. of the physically unfit; there are too many
weak and unhealthy children in our schools.
Twenty minutes Of physical training every day,
as is to be the requirement in the New York
state public schools, will not make wardogs; it
will make healthier children and later on more
able men.

PRINT PAPER SITUATION.

So much has been said in reference to the
shortage of print paper that many people who
still receive without interruption the newspa-

publishers statements as cry of g WOLF when
there is no animal OF that description in sight
Everywhere throughout the country newspaper
publishers are cup against it, and the latest
cries OF distress enanate from the offices of the
Des MONIES Capital and the Muscatine Journal
Facing an inability to get the required amount
of paper on which to run off its editions the
Capital has been forced to suspend the courtesy
OF complimentary copies. In addition, and a
change which will bring home to it's readers
the truth OF the statement as to the shortage OF
paper, the Capital will be reduced in size

LESS TO WORRY ABOUT.

The epidemic Of bichloride of mercury pois-
oning appears to have ended, almost as abrupt
ly as it broke out several months ago. Legisla-
ton designed to safeguard the use Of the drug
may have had something to do with the cessa-
ton, but the underlying causes would make an
interesting psychological study. If the claims
put forward by the friends of a Cincinnati ply
stefan, DIR. J. ii. Wins are valid, there never
need be recurrence of the epidemic of suicidal
and accidental deaths from this cause. Suffer
ers from this poison, it is alleged, may be saved
by the intravenous injection Of calcium sui
phide, grain for grain for the poison taken, and
while the antidote should be used promptly, it
is said to have proved successful in saving life
after forty light hours.

The Beauteous Primary.

| Washington Democrat: Isn't the
primary law a peach? Certainly. that
is enough to make horse laugh. 1t
costs thousands Of dollars, and gets
| nobody nowhere" as the gram.
marian says.
1t costs over $4,000 to nominate a
republican candidate for governor,
and then he has to make the regular
election campaign thereafter. We
never did favor the fool law. We can
see no good that it can possibly
serve The very rottenest old fash
toned caucus is Sunday school pic
mic by the side of it because every
body in the caucus has some sort of
run for his money, or thought he had,
which is just as good.
But who wants to spend $4,000 for
a nomination for governor, as Jos.
Allen did, only to get left? Harding
spent $4,000 and the Lord only
knows how much his friends spent.
What chance has poor man run
ming for governor? We can think OF
dozen men, who would make good
governors, but what is the use.
Governor Kirkwood, our beloved
war governor. would never have had
a look in. What show would Cover
nor Carroll have had? He was a
newspaper man, and consequently not
flush, but he was a capable governor,
although under the blessed primary
he would not have got out of Davis
county. He could not have Afforded
to pay the primary expenses in one
county, let alone in 80.
Some of our very best Iowa men
have been poor men. Senator ALI
son, revered by republicans, could
never have been nominated. as he
was comparatively poor. John Henry
Gear, whom all republicans honor,
was a poor man, and could not have
so much as started. And they tell us
the primary law was made for the
poor man. What chance would poor
man have? Or what chance would
moderately rich man have? No more
chance than rabbit.
We passed biennial election law,
in order that we might avoid the an
noyance and cost of an election each
year, but we enacted the silly pri-
mary law, which gives us two cleo
lions each year and no poor man need
apply.
Why, E. r. Moore, candidate for
lieutenant governor, spent $4,000 or
$4,000 to be nominated, away more
than the salary will amount to. What
chance would any newspaper man in
Iowa have, unless it were some of the
editors Of the big papers.
Yes, the Iowa primary law is a
peach!

TRAINING SOLDIERS APPETITE.

One Of the disciplinary measures to which
our guardsmen seem due to submit is curling
of appetite. One Pennsylvania regiment ran
out of food twenty four hours before reaching
the border and the Philadelphia newspapers
protested bitterly against " starving our guard
recruits" The government official replied by
showing that he had caused six days. regular
rations to be issued to these troops and that
they had eaten them up in less than four
days. If it be true that we eat too much for our
good, military training will send US back our
guardsmen transformed into hardy digesters
of minimum of pabulum and may prove a fac
tor in laying the specter of the high cost of iv-
ing.

MAINE THE BAROMETER STATE.

The eyes of the nation will be on Maine in
September That is the barometer. state, the
first to hold an election prior to the general
election in November, when president Of the
United States will be elected The democrats
appreciate the Importance Of this election and
they will make every effort to carry the state.
With two United States senators to elect, little
less than lively campaign is to be expected.
Both President Wilson and Charles Evans
Hughes to make speeches in Maine, and it
lis possible that Colonel Roosevelt may also
raise his voice in behalf of the republicans It
will be more like the old times when Blaine was
a candidate for the presidency. Every vote is
going to count in Maine in September. and ev-
cry effort will be made by both parties to cop
per victory.

THE LAST AERoPLANE.

Our punitive expedition into Mexico started
with six aeroplanes-the whole available sup
ply of the army One down. and then
there were five. Into the deserts and hills with
five aeroplanes and then the machines began to
fall, and the last one was laid away on the junk
pile Saturday. Today the army on the border
possesses twelve machines, which have been
waiting week or two for propellers, and may
wait a week or two longer
The case Of the aeroplanes is typical of the
country's state of military dry rot. A fairly
large appropriation has been made for army
planes, which expected to be ready for ser
vice In year so.
But what revelation we have had, with the
assistance of Senior Carranza, Mr.. Wilson and
the United States statutes!
The administration at Washington is still far
from understanding Of preparedness but
it is beginning to see into unpreparedness
That makes a promising start.
