STATE INSURANCE FOR WORKMEN.

Ex-senator Funk, now commissioner
in charge of workmen's compensation,
will report to the next legislature in
favor of state fund for insuring in
jured workmen so that they will re-
ceive their compensation. In this re-
spect he repeats the recommendation
that was made by Commissioner Garst.
The state of Iowa has decreed by
pensate a workman for injuries re-
ceived when engaged in the employers
service and said law also requires that
the employers ability to pay this COM
pensation be endorsed or guaranteed
by some form Of liability insurance.
The employer Is thus placed in the
market for insurance as 2 forced buy
err Insurance companies tried at first
to take advantage Of the employers
ployers organized and went to market
for their insurance in bulk thru the
medium Of mutual society but never
theless the state stands in the position
Of having compelled the employer to
buy insurance without providing that
insurance at cost.
Two insurance commissioners. ,fter
careful study Of the problem from the
inside, have come to the conclusion
that the state should provide the IN
surance which it compels employers to
buy and this plan is working we'll in
other states.
Mr.. Harding, republican nominee for
governor, is opposed to it. He says
that the best government is the least
government and insists that employers
had better manage their own mutual
insurance societies. He may even be
opposed to compensation being admin
istered by the state preferring to leave
that to individual initiative so the in
surance commissioner and the injured
workmen whom he would protect will
have to reckon with opposition from
the governors office if Mr.. Harding is
elected.

European "War Dope"

Now, it is plain that within a few
weeks, within two months at the most,
the allies plan to attack on all fronts.
Perhaps the Russian victories are the
first signal. Austrian collapse already
recalls the days of Lemberg--but in
the Lemberg time Germany could turn
east, for France and Britain were stag
gering under the first blow. Today
Germany can not turn east without
exposing herself to deadly peril in the
west. II she draws the troops back

foretold would be fatal if it came. The
alliance against Germany stands as
firm as that which overthrow Napoleon
in 1894, the conditions are the same;
the odds against Germany are at least
comparable to those against France.
The allies will not be over-hasty in
striking, because it is doubtful if they
can ever deal another blow comparable
with that which is now to be expected
But no one can doubt that the blow is
soon to fall and that the summer and
autumn are to decide whether the war
is to be drawn battle or a German
defeat. Germanys supreme effort In

THE PosToFF,cE ELECTION.
: sl1tps End seelin6 u1K.q cah6e6es.A'

The postoffice election Is a success
full method of melting peaceful, law
abiding community to riot and blood
BY congressman who do not expect to
be reelected, and who therefore wonld
Just as soon see the people rule as not
There are only two ways in which
vacancy can be created in q post
office that pays over $50 year, and
that is by death or removal, as post
masters never resign except at the ur-
gent request of some United States
marshal. But when a vacancy does oc-
cur, a new postmaster can be made out
of the raw material in the community
before the other candidates have time
to reach Washington. Sometimes the
material used Is so raw that protest
goes in to the postoffice department
and is at once placed on file until the
judgment day.
When there are six candidates for
the postoffice, all of whom can de-
liver more votes than a two-ton truck,
the congressman looks the field over
and decides that he believes in popular
government. He then calls an election
and retires to the; storm cellar equipped
with a life belt and- gas respirator
leaving the result in the hands of Provi-
dence and the county central commit
tee.
A postoffice election Is always ac-
companied by acrimonious charges
and counter charges, and by the time
the polls have closed every candidate
stands before the community in his
true light, ready to be indicted by the
grand Jury for nameless crimes which
he thought had been forgotten when

made that could not be collected by
subscription. The men are willing te
see their kitchens raided for so cents
worth Of material, when they would
not give 20 cents outright. So the
funds are raised by subterfuge and an
uneconomic method.
1t is the one excuse for this dubious
method Of financing, that 1t promotes
friendly social life. A woman gets
better acquainted in cooking one sup
per than she would in months Of stiff
and formal calls. But while the
churches that have not gone much In
to this form of life may be condemned
as unsocial, they may be doing more
for the ends for which the church pri-
marily was founded.
WHAT THEY LEARNED rNIARCHING.
Huntington Hawkeye.]
Some of the older boys are recalling
with unmixed pleasure, the time when
they carried a leaky torch and trav-
eled over the town and half the county
on foot, in the interest of a candidate.
In little while they had gotten them
selves into the condition where they
thought more Of their company than
they did of the campaign. While they
cheered the name Of the candidate, and
sang songs in his honor and were ready
to fight for him as sometimes became
necessary, somehow, the company grew
nearer and dearer to their hearts than
anything else in the campaign. The
friendships there formed were lasting
in many cases. The boys learned a little
of politics, and that they forgot as
easily as it was assimilated. They
learned other things that remained a
part of their very nature. They learned
to depend upon themselves and the men
in the ranks with them and their Off
GERS. When they were out on the
streets, and that was about every even
ing in the week, they gave heed to their
captain and to nobody else. Men on
horseback, with great sashes, some of
them bearing swords, dashed frantical-
ly up and down the line and shouted
hoarse commands that may and may
not have been intended for some other
purpose than that of impressing the
lockers on. But the members Of a real
company never gave such shouting the
slightest attention. They took their
commands from their captain, and as
long as he gave no orders there was
nothing doing. They knew that he had
done real marching, back there in the
days of the civil war, which We're not
so distant at that time, and they were
confident that he knew what to do, and
that it was time to fall in and to move
when he gave the command.
Those were happy days. No matter
II YOU were bit tired and footsore;
no matter if that old torch leaked and
your clothes were soaked with cheap
coal oil; no matter if you had been
bombarded with eggs no longer fresh,
or with stones, and the aggressors had
been so fleet footed that they escaped
long as the company
made good showing and had acquitted
itself in manner that satisfied the
captain, everybody went home happy
and turned out again the following
evening, to 60 thru the same expert
ence. They were indeed good old
times. And the real lessons learned
have never been forg often.
