rAK1Nn AMusEMENT SERIOUSLY.

AS a people we have kept that part OF the oid
I time spirit which makes us shy ABOUT taihin :
seriously of our playtime. We have utterly e
i. fused to look upon our amusements, the books
we read the pictures we see, the plays we pa
! tronize and the music we support as we iooh
u upon business and professions Nnatevei
else the man of former days was, he was sus
! picious of amusement. Into his rehgloh he ~
ttrodnced a superb sincerity, for it was superb
altboneh he sinned in many ways and behaved
as wrongly as strong men terribly In earnest
have often behaved. But his stern creed ana
life left him little leisure; he began as an OUT
cast from convention and he fought his way
to becoming the maker Of hidebound conven-
lions which have twisted the thought OF Ameri-
can civilization in some matters.
Now il is in leisure hours that most Of LIES
evils are Matched and it is the lack OF ability
! to enjoy leisure that breeds discomfort. Inc
Greeks were experts at occupying leisure III
fine WAYS Their moral weakness and selflsh
motives upset them nationally; but, amld mis-
fortunes of state, they were happy. Inc NO
mans borrowed amusements from the Greeks,
borrowed literature and art; but they gave
their thoughts to conquest and law making.
When they had done with these, they saw they
must amuse the people or be swamped by their
restless misery; SO they subsidized amusements,
and brutal ones they were. Napoleon tried to
make the French contented by artlflclally de-
vised art and letters. Always, great nations
have had to face the danger OF unoccupled
leisure among their people, but seldom have
they arrived at the real solution. This Is
teaching people to amuse themselves viii
wholesome means which are at hand
We make big business of our favorite sports;
we treat our stage, our music ana our art as
things outside the real affairs of life; we worry
consumedly about how children shall earn
enough to buy reasonable leisure. But we 40
not give serious thought to what they will do
with it. If men are not happy, we assume that
they need more money to make them happy Ii
never occurs to us that ability to be happy With
out spending money would be the greatest asset
in the world We are even teaching our chill
dren to measure good times in terms OF the dol
lar. We are entirely unreasonable about the
Importance of playtime and we shall pay Tor 1t
liz we do not revise our opinions and prejudices

NOT FOR REVENUE ONLY.

The administration revenue bill, passed by
the house contains certain features approved
by the minority, and was supported by thirty
nine republicans. including five who have been
classed as progressves. But for democratic
opposition the tariff commission plan, now
adopted by the democrats, would have been in
operation when the Underwood bill was framed
The protective principle is recognized in the
section providing for tariff on dyestuffs, but
as was pointed out by Representative Hill, the
duties are not high enough to meet all the re-
uuirements of new industry here. The house
democrats have read some of the signs of the
times. but they have not made the most of their

For the burdens the rich endure:
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives OF the poor.

And the fathers heart that bleeds!

From trophies of mart and stage.

TRADING POLICIES.

It would seem that President Wilson and
Carranza have traded policies. It is Mexico
that is now doing the ''watchful waiting But
unfortunately for US in Mexico there is no sta
bility of government stability of temper to
assure a benign purpose in this watchfulness.
General Trevino says he cannot fight Villistas
because most Of his troops have to watch Gen
eral Pershing What General Pershing Is
watching or what he is doing that needs to be
watched, no one seems to be sure OF. The stu

BRAvERY PERsoNIFIED.

Much has been said of the solid patriotism
of the militiaman. the citizen who forsaKes
business and home at his country's call, who
rides five nights in day coach and springs TO
the ground ready to throw himself bodily into
the Jaws of several interesting varieties OF what
General Sherman called hell. Too much can t
be said on that point. But the prospect OF
death on the battlefield isn't the only item OF
discomfort that must be faced by our militia
men. Let us give the soldier his full share OF
credit. Let us turn to the rosy cheeks and the
full lips of the pretties girl in Clearfleld, "a

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The sug-
gestion that Hiram Johnson be sent
to the United States senate is not &C
ceptable to the people OF the middle
west who hoped that Californ1ans
would keep Hiram all to themselves
| out home.
| Davenport Democrat: sfNot guilty,
says the jury. But Orpet goes out In

worthy of the thought and study of
every young man who thinks that
pleasure lies along the primrose path,
and that one can play fast and loose
and not reap the consequences.

Bound"
Marshalltown Times-Republican
Perhaps hot weather's the reason
President Wilson hasn't produced an
other crisis. If triplets were as COM
mon az crises in the cabinet Theodore
Roosevelt would have to support Will
son for reelection just to be consist
ent.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: A lot Of
people IN this country are demanding
Pullman coaches for the transporta-
ton of troops. Some of the boys were
taken to the border in day coaches.
Along in the sixties the boys of the
old union army were thankful when
they were able to get rides in box
cars.
Mmstcatine Journal: The war de-
partment announces that the Iowa
guard will not move to the border I'M
til it is fully equipped. Likely as not,
few Of the men will be over the 40
year age limit before they get to en-
Joy that invigorating ride in day
coaches.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: The centen-
NAL OF gas lighting in this country
has Just been completed. The gas
meter is a more venerable citizen
than we had supposed. And the older
he gets the sprightlier he Is. Upon
his qualities as a sprinter we need not
dialate.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: If Iowa
democrats do not thank the republic
cans for voluntary efforts to make
both sides Of the state campaign they
are an ungrateful lot Before election
day there will be no spot as large as
hostage stamp on Hardings back
that does not bear the mark OF DUCK
shot or bowie knife.
Ottumwa Courier: Mr.. Meredith's
campaign managers are making liquor
the main issue OF the gubernatorlal
campaign. The liquor business IN
Iowa is dead and gone and everyone
knows it. The men who try to SUB
ordinate everything that is import
ant to this state. to an imaginary
scarecrow, are not the proper persons
to have in charge of state affairs.
Burlington Gazette: So the jury
pronounced Will Orpet not guilty, ana
none will blame the jury for this YER
dict. The defendant has disappeared
from the public view, and IL ne Is
wise he will remain in seciusion.
Orpet. morally, Is guilty OF the deatn
OF the Lambert girf by hts own adj
missions on the witness stand. HIS
future will not be envied by anyone,
despite the fact that he escaped a
nrfson cell. Until the end Of his car
Ger if he chooses to carry his pres
emit name, he will be marked man.
