I THE CRANK.

The crank is somebody we don
agree with. Every crank is operated
by self-starter which works by com :
pressed air and never has to be
pumped up. which makes his CONVERSE
ton tiresome to people who are accus-
toned to think In the same channel
from the cradle to the grave. ~ g..
3. The crank Is nearly always the VIC
tim of some idea which has not struck
anybody else>and is therefore about as
popular as a Mexican In Texas. The
world is full of examples of earnest
well meaning citizens who have gone
along for years without entertaining q
bright idea of any kind. only to be Inn
paled upon some fad Of the day and
become as noisy as a windmill. Some
Of our strongest lunged enemies OF the
tobacco habit are men who consumed
enough pure Havana cigars to pave the
Lincoln Highway and who never swore
of until their wives inserted some
thing into their coffee which caused
them deep remorse..
The crank is never satisfied with
the way things are going in church os
state. If there is a new bass singer
in the choir the crank always objects
to his necktie or his technique and
moves that the music committee be
discharged and fined SO and costs.
This has resulted in great scarcity
Of bass singers who are willing to sins
for nothing and furnish their own
music. The crank does not hesitate TO-
inform the minister that his Sunday
evening sermon would have been moro
Of a success IT, 1t had contained less
language and more thought, and II
there is ladies' aid supper he Will be
heard to complain Of the texture OF the
oyster soup without allowing his re-
marks to interfere with his appetite.
The crank is great aid and solace

Along the winding river
The plumy willows lean.
Beyond the sweeping meadows
The looming mountains rise,
Like battleDents OF dreamland
Against the hrooding skies.

The buds are breaking thru
AS tho the heart of all things
No languor ever knew.

With smoke OF hrushwood fires
And in my sisters garden
Where little breoklets run,

E. T. Meredith's loyalty to the dem
ocratic cause in the past has no bear
ing. of course. on his fitness for the
gcvernorship, or for any other public
office. II may he recalled. however
that the quality OF Mr.. Meredith's de-
mocracy was questioned when he was
q candidate for~the senatorial nomina-
ton in 1914. II there is no disposition
to raise that point now 1t must hs
taken as evidence of that much pro-
gress in dropping political ideals.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

There has been a good deal Of sug-
gestion that Senator Ciarkson might
be the democratic candidate on dry
platform, and there has been a good
deal OF doubt about his ability to hold
the democratic party together in the
election: but Meredith for governor
and. Clarkson for attorney-generai
make a stronger combination with
very much the same effect remarks
the Nevada Representative. Add to
this condition the fact that Meredith
is a good-ro enthusiast, and it be-
comes evident that the democrats in
conference have done the best for
themselves which 1t was possible for
them to do"
There is IN every city and town

ford to donate literally" suggests the

What evil genius conspired TO per-
suade the legislature that passed the
auto registration law to fix the office
of the secretary of state as the only
place from which a man may obtain
an auto license will probably never
become apparent in this world. That
particular clause of the law has caused
profane language and more confusion
than any other, or perhaps all the
other provisions of the statute There
is at present a strong agitation thru
out the state to amend the registration
law to permit the issuance Of state
licenses at the offices Of the county
auditors. This liz what should have
been provided when the law was
written.

PORTLAND Ore, June 15.-With
further advance OF to is per cent
in the price Of wool at the new Aus
tralian sales, the market throughout
the world continues to reflect aggres-
sive strength.
For a while some fears were ex-
pressed in this country that the Eng
lish embargo against shipments OF
colony wool to the Gnited States
would have the effect Of bringing
down prices in Australia, but these
have proven groundless. AT least that
is the indication at the opening of the
Australian trade. The market there
instead of showing decline, has act
ually made one Of the most spirited
advances Of the season.
In the Pacific northwest there has
been quite fair trading In the wool
market during recent days, with ex-
treme prices freely offered. Trading
has not been so extensive as during
previous weeks. growers showing less
disposition to let go.
