Wet or Dry.

Perry Chief: Under cover Of the
basest and meanest kind of misrep-
resentation, Of dirty. unwarranted
personal attacks and Of lies and sub
terfuges of almost every nature the
political enemies Of Hon. W. l.. Hard
ing are trying to make the people
of Iowa believe that If he is elected
the prohibition cause will have sui
fered great defeat.
Just how this is to come about the
enemies of Mr.. Harding do not say.
They admit that Mr.. Harding stands
squarely with both feet" upon the
republican platform, that he is a man
of his word, ETC., but because he
voted for the control of the liquor
traffic when it's total abolition was
impossible, they see in him wet OF
the wettest type.
The whole wet and dry issue in
Iowa at this time can be summed up
in few words. Mr.. Harding is a
republican. He will carry out the
wishes of the republican party. The
republican platform is dry. No one
can make anything else out of it.

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
THE MAN FROM HOME.


I met from home the other day
And paused 20 chat bit OF time away.
Like mine, his clothes were not the very best;
1t seemed that he had met and failed the test.
Half vagabond, he dearly loves to roam,
But, after all, he is a man from home.
No finer lad than he there in schools
No better swimmer there in pool;
No leader led his eager band
Who showed whit more clever master hand.
How mem'res come to top, mental foam,
Z And make boy again the man from home!
He's tasted OF the wines and bitter dregs,
He's travelled desert sands with weary legs
He's followed golden trails. and in the camps
He's smiled when fortune herded him with tramps;
He's sunk his pick in Klondike's golden loan
He's down and out but he's from home.
A lad, he played his games honor rules;
A man, he did his best with honest tools.
He turned his young face toward the setting sun,
Nor feared the finish when the day done.
He knows the trails from Mexico to Nome
He's poor, but spurned loan this from home.
He's lived his life others might not live,
He's given of the strength he had to give;
He's been where Satan has his frmest hold,
He's been where men will sell themselves for gold;
And yet there for me- meath heavens dome.
Few better men than he, the man from home.

INFLUENCE OF THE VOCAL.

We are rather tired of hearing or reading
diatribes against the speaking-but unspeak-
able-American voice. Undoubtedly it can be
improved, in a good many cases, but the imph-
cation that all the rest of the world speaks pure
music while we only make noise will scarcely
bear investigation.
Dr. Charles Provost Grayson Of New York
City joins the procession of critics. But his
plea for reform has features not often empha-
sized. He declares that irritation and disease
Of the throat may result from bad voice produc-
ton. Therefore it is urged that children
should be taught correct diction in school a
measure of health.
It will be said at once that the difficulty is
to get teachers who or will do this work
But if the thing is important that argument
falls to the ground of it's own weight. AS Dr.
Grayson says, teachers will give attention to
their own voices and to correct methods OF
teaching voice production just soon as this
is made condition of securing place in the
schools.
The voice has a subtle Influence upon every
phase of life. It is not too much to say that
American history for the last twenty years has
been appreciably affected by the simple fact
that an otherwise commonplace citizen OF LIN
coin, Neb., happened to have pleasing voice.
How far would the influence of William Jen
nings Bryan have extended if he had been re-
duced to dependence on print alone7
We do not advocate the multiplication Of
Bryans. But our ears and our nerves would re-
joice if more of the good people who have
things worth saying spoke them more musical
liz. And very likely the health, temper and
general well-being of most of would be inn
proved by temperate application Of bel canto
to our everyday intercourse.

THE REWARD OF MERIT.

The valuation we put on our own work is
sometimes widely at variance with the price
mark attached to it by others. A New York
City broker is suing Charles W. Morse for
one hundred thousand dollars for his alleged
services in procuring the release of the fnan-
cier from the federal penitentiary at Atlanta
But Mr.. Morse considered the plaintiff ade-
quately rewarded for his pains by the present
Of large and handsome bouquet of roses. Mr..
Morse explains that the broker originally
placed his services on the lofty plane of altru-
ism g He told me he was doing it because he
wanted to see me get Justice I think all he
did was to have some pieces put in the news
papers"
Mr. Morse's battle for freedom mat
ter Of lively news interest some years ago, and
the task of the publicity agent should not have
been difficult. It would not be in order to an
ticipate the decision of the court in this con-
nection. But it is often noted that the slow
grinding mills of justice reduce to an impalpable
powder a mans pretty conceit with himself
though he has set the equivalent Of kings
ransom upon it.

A QUESTION TO BE SETTLED.

The friendship between Japan and the
United States is not menaced by Japan pur-
pose to renew after the war her attempt to OBJ
tain from this government assurances of fair
treatment Of her people in this country. This
purpose was declared with absolute frankness
by Baron Yoshiro Sakatani, now visiting in the
United States It was foreshadowed about
two years ago after Mr.. Bryan, then secretary
of state had made futile attempts to come to a
satisfactory understanding with Japan respect
ing the anti-alien land-holding legislation en-
acted in California This legislation was I'M
fair, and it aimed at the japanese. In the
exchange of notes by the two governments Mr..
Bryan appeared to little advantage, and the
japanese foreign office finally brought the
frlitless correspondence to close by saying
that its complaint had not been answered and
that Japan reserved ''for the present further
discussion of the ISSUE
The situation at that time was delicate, and
it might have become serious but for the tact
and wisdom displayed at Toxic, where popular
sentiment was far from friendly to the United
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-10-05

States Presently the discussion will be re-
newed The Importance of the issue IS lnoi-
Gated in Baron Sakatani s statement that one
of the worlds biggest economic questions TO
be settled after the war is the status OF Japan
csc in the United States.
The baron, who is distinguished economist
spoke of the ''justice and necessity & OF the re-
peal of American laws regarded by his people
as discriminating against them. Many Amerl-
cans share his view There is no occasion for
Quarrel. There will be none so far as this
issue is concerned if the just ground OF Japan s
complaint is removed. Japanese residents III
this country are entitled to better treatment
than they received at the hands OF the Call-
fornia legislature.
