FACING THE DEADLINE.

Since Dr. Osler was immortalized by having
his name turned into a verb meaning to prac-
tce euthanasia on men in midife because their
best days are gone, no one has so completely
reversed his alleged teaching as recent writer
In the American magazine He boldly asserts
the orthodox belief that the best is vet to be
and advocates the taking up Of new profes-
sion or occupation by those who have passed
the fiftleth milestone. His argument is that
men go stale after twenty years of activity in a
given line at modern high pressure and that
turning the energies into new channels calls
forth unused powers so that the veturer lives
longer and does better work
This reversal Of the famous physicians nro
nouncement is offered as a modest suggestion
and accords with the doctors own later quail
fications of his original deliverance Closer
scrutiny of the instances observed and their
attendant circumstances might lead to consid-
cradle qualifications of the magazine writer's
conclusion. Not all of the men who pursue long
and successful careers after their fiftieth birth
day have ''moved to some new place or entered
some calling but there are enough cases
of the kind in an ordinary circle of acuuaint
ances to Justify a wider induction of the facts
There is immediate danger that the pre-
scription thus offered for attaining more life
and fuller will result in flood of resigna-
lions, but 1t may serve to reassure those who
have attained half century of clean, homes,

INSIsTENCE.

Nobody could ask for a better program than
the American delegates are said to have out
lined for the consideration of the Carranzista
delegates to the Mexican peace conference. 1t
includes: Absolute responsibility for American
life and property; remuneration of DEGREES con-
hscating American property; responsibility in
financial dealings with the outside world.
Two questions will arise in the American
public mind: First how can this be harmonized
with President Wilson's policy of letting the
Mexicans work out their own salvation, no mat
ter how it affects the rest of the world? Sec
ond, how will this demand be backed up in
deeds by the administration, even if it is ac-
cepted in theory?
1t is one thing to insist; it is quite another
to maintain.

A Heroic Don.

The American Boy: War is filled
with deeds Of heroism and 1t is an
unusual man who can SO stand out
above his fellows as to be mentioned
in the official dispatches for bravery.
But Marquis, the regimental dispatch
dog Of the 23rd French infantry, has
received that honor. During battle
it became necessary for the colonel
to send a message to his superior
No man could Cross the bullet swept
zone and live. so the duty fell to
Marquis. He raced through the hail
OF shot, and had almost reached his
objective when he was struck by q
German bullet which knocked him
down, badly wounded He struggled
to his feet, however, and dragged
himself to where the officer stood
behind the French intrenchments As
the message was taken from him he
toppled over dead. A monument Is
to be erected to his memory by the
soldiers, on which will be inscribed.

THE WoMANLY WOMAN.

| BY far the most terrifying result of the war
thus far predicted is that woman will be wholly
transformed by the dread ordeal though which
the world is passing In mind, and soul not only
in fair outward form, is this great mutation to
manifest itself, if we are to hearken to those
who pretend to interpret her incomprehenslb bly,
variable character. For we read that after the
war women twill never again be ruled by fool
Iish styles
What disaster is here threatened to man
kind can scarcely be grasped until it is actually
visited upon us. Are we, then, to lose lie s
one priceless possession upon which we may
depend always with certainty for the most de-
lightful uncertainty! There is no other crea-
ture, object or condition the future of which
cannot be predicted with some degree of accur-
acy by the mind of man. She is the antlpode to
daily mundane sameness. Man is to man
scientific phenomenon; but woman-she even
balks herself.
But right here is prospect that we may re
press our grief at the possibility of paradise
lost. Elsewhere we read that .'sash ribbons
for the season are the most magnificent and
gorgeous ever SEEM that s.only strong adjec-
be an eruption of color in the ribbons of the
solid silk, every color and shade imaginable be-
ing combined in one piece and the brilliancy of
the effect heightened with gold and silver
threads -
Mans fainting spirit revives. So woman is.
after all, to remain her old, sweet, incorrigible
self-and as time passes may she grow more so.
If the ballot spoils her then we will abolish the
ballot-abolish anything in order that the
womanly woman may survive.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
Waterloo Courier: It's best to be
kept a secret, Jane Adams says. but
she is going to vote for Wilson. Per
haps that is why. she wants it kept .

Cedar Rapids Republican: Abuse

Washington Democrat to the Des

what effect will it have on the gang
that hangs around the capital city and
that is bound to run things in Iowa
even all the road improvements that
they think ought to be made. All that
they want us farmers and villagers to
do is to pay for the bonds in taxes. We
should not kick on taxes, either.
Sioux City Journal: Thomas r.
Marshall will no doubt be taken se-
verely in hand by the democratic ma.
tiOnal committee and President Will
son. He should have known that ref

private democratic politicians use
only. and not for the general public,
which is quite a sincere believer in
keeping men in the SWIVEL service on
account of their fitness for their jobs.
rather than because they are "de-
serving democrats"
Carroll Herald: We don't hear so
much about the call back to the farm
in recent years. Iowa farm homes
have become so attractive and the
farms so productive that the young
people are not flocking to the urban
centers as they were. TIL e autOmo-
bile, too, has eliminated distance be-
tween town, the schools and churches,
and social life on the farm has its
own peculiar charms.

GREEK UNREsT.

According to Nicholas Psaki, New York
City lawyer, Greek by birth, who is just
from three months stay in Athens there is
not today in all the kaiser S empire more loyal
subject than the king of Greece. Not al! the
reasons for this are clearly known; but King
Constantine's wife is the kaiser's sister and
current rumor in Athens hints of magnificent
financial gift from the central powers on condi.
ton that the king succeeds in keeping his coun-
try out of war.
The king has certainly worked adroitly to
this end; but he has thereby divided his king
dom and imperiled his throne. A provisional
government has been formed and is calling 10
its allegiance all Greeks who believe that the
national aspirations can be realized only by the
aid of the entente allies; and the king is so de-
tested by masses of his people that he keeps
out of sight to avoid assassination. Meanwhi.,
the French have taken over the Greek navy and
demanded that the coastal forts shall be dis
mantled and tn important railway lines plac I'd

king, considering him quite base enough to at
tack them in the rear, despite his promises, the
