their foreign customers, and in this matter
their exporters have proved that they are bet
ter traders than our own. Moreover, they have
shown not only friendliness but confidence, and
Mr.. Tornquist warns Americans that unless
they are prepared to show equal confidence and
good will they had better not waste their time
of their money in the effort to hold and develop
the trade that has come to them since the war
began. His suggestion is timely. The South
American trade field is attractive, and Europe
has not abandoned it.

A PLAIN DUTY.

Need soon becomes destitution; these are
anxious days in many homes. For the women
and children who are left behind, bereft of
their support and deprived Of the comforts OF
life by the sterling citizenship of husbands and
fathers, this community must provide cheerful
ly and well. The less appearance of charity
there is about the provision the better. 1t
isn't charity to support mother or a wife or
a child in such an emergency as this-it is a
plain duty. Nor need the contributors feel
that their aid is relieving poverty; nothing Of
the sort, for many of the homes that it may be
necessary to support have been we'll kept by
the earning power of their men folks.

TODAY,5 BIT OF VERSE
THE ARCH.

THE ARCH.
Just where the street of the village ends,
Over the road an oak-tree TALL
Curving in more than crescent bends
With an arch like the gate of Moorish wall.
Over across the river there
Looking under the arch, sees
The sunshine slant through the distant air,
And the burn on the cliff and the tufted trees.
Each day, hurrying through the town,
| stop instant, early or late,
AS cross the street, and glancing down
1 catch a glimpse through the Moorish gate.
Only moment here stand,
But look through that loop in the dusty air,
Into far-off fairyland,
Where all seems calm, and kind, and fair.
So sometimes at the end of thought,
Where with vexing doubt we've striven,
A sudden, sunny glimpse is caught
OF an open arch, and peaceful heaven.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: It's q pool
telegraph editor who can't make the
war in Europe look like mere curb
stone argument as compared with the
trouble in Mexico.
Des Moines Register and Leader:
When the United States government
| seized sixteen carloads of anlmun1
ton consigned to the allies it spoiled
at least one battle in Europe.
Sioux City Tribune; Nobody needs
help so much as the Armenians and
nobody needs punishment SO much
as the Turks.
Cedar Rapids Republican: What
ever some OF the shortcomings OF the
late moose leader, we must give him
the credit which Mr.. Hughes does, to
| be just to him. His career In poll
tics has been marred sometimes by an
icverhanging and overvaulting ambt-
ton. with a certain kind of personal
vanity that Is sometimes displeasing.
But the power and the intensity OF
the mans patriotism must be admit

has reference, of course, to the polit-
ical status OF these men. But even
on that score he's not quite accurate.
At least two Of these men are cap
able OF welding potent influence in
the country.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: The claim
Is made that eastern senators will
oppose any western man for the Unit
ed States supreme court vacancy, but
1t So happens that eastern senators
are not just nov essential to the con-
firmation Of nominees.
Waterloo Times-Tribune: In the
presidents note to Carranza, it was
entirely unnecessary for hmm to add
a postscript: Burn this"

danger that the date for the Iowa re-
publican state convention will be al
lowed tc pass without holding one.
The candidates for railroad commits
sioner and attorney general can be
depended on to see that convention
is held.
Waterloo Courier: It is perhaps
necessary that we have censorship
on the war news from Mexico, but
let us fervently hope that it will not
be carried to the absurd extremes it
has in Europe.
Dubuque Times-Journal: Where is
John Lind that he hasn't had some
thing to say about the Mexican sit
1lation? Surely he hasn't lost his
faith in Villa, Carranza and the other
Mexican leaders.
Ottumwa Courier: Many people
who talked against preparedness are
now advocates OF stronger military
POLICY. Beautiful theories will Go for
times OF peace but when war threat
ems, it is time to face facts as they
are and not as we would have them
Sioux City Tribune: Testimony in
the New York subway scandal inves-
tigation tells of "a talk with J. p.
Morgan (the younger) that cost
$4,000 but the witnesses all
agreed at was we'll worth the price.

THE PREPARED BOY

From the New York headquarters of the Boy
Scouts of America comes word that approx
mately 100000 representatives of young Ameri-
ca will enter preparedness camps during
the summer under the direction of 1000 scout
masters
An organization that can command so much
support from the boys Of the country bears a
great responsibility and should be able to exert
an improving influence upon American citizen
ship. The program for the summer camps in
cludes some of the fundamental work attached
to the grown-ups military camps, especially
mailing. map making, and, in general way, the
ACQUISITION of knowledge and skill that will
immeasurably increase the boys usefulness to
their country in any crisis"
But such usefulness is by means to be
limited to military or semi-military prepared
ness. The good boy makes the best citizen
the boy who is dutiful and helpful at home; who
lis a willing student at school, who does the day IS
work no matter what it may be, as it comes and
does not shirk and dodge and sneak out from
under That is the sort of boy that will find
himself well prepared in any crisis, whether it
be personal or affair of national dimensions.
Recruiting returns throughout the country
show that a rule only one man out of four is
accepted as fit for service. But in San Francisco
last week it took six men to furnish one soldier
and in Boston it required thirteen. which
would seem to indicate that the applicants In
those cities are below the standard.

AS IT WAS AND Is.

/ Cervantes, the Castilian, who flourished IN
the sixteenth century, had a lively sense OF an
historian s duty, declaring that those writers
fought to be precise, truthful, and quite I'M
lprejudiced, and neither interest nor fear,
hatred nor affection, should cause them to
swerve from the path Of truth whose mother IS
history, the rival of time, the depository OF
great actions, the witness of what is past, the
example and instruction to the present, ana
monitor to the future
Whether Cervantes had bunch that several
hundred years later there would arise his
torian who would pen and publish his views OF
men and events occurring in great country
called the United States Of America is undls
closed by delivers into the past, but the Spanish
authors comment at once brings to mind the
following inspiring paragraph from President
Wilson s History Of the American People,
From the carrying of the pass at Cerro Gordo

fortress of Chapultepec Contender 49, there was

guarding fortresses and was set about by mo
rasses. only by narrow causeways. But
the Americans moved everywhere with the bust

OF General Wlnneld Scout, VINO Win a force Oh
but $500 men fought his way from Vera Cruz
to the capital city of Mexico, which he cap
tured, thereby practically ending the war. Now,
with the United States again facing conflict
with the southern neighbor, that business-like
certainty referred to by our president-his-
torian is conspicuousy absent from every
phase in relation to the present difficulty. The
American men at arms have, until today, been
told to hold back until another note is written.

especially interested in the proposed
movement and it is understood that
he will head list of petitioners who
will ask Robert j. Cunningham, State
Highway Commissioner, to make a
personal visit to this section and see
the deplorable condition of the roads.
Gratz lies along the main road be-
tween Millersburg and Ashland, the
extreme ends of the Lykens Valley.
Persons going from here to Millers-
burg must use this road and it is said
that automobiles must run on low gear
going down a number of the hills
The closest railroad station is at
Loyalton,/a distance of six miles, and
the road to that town is said to be in
worse condition than the road to Mil
lersburg. This road joins the main,
or State, road from Elizabethville to
Dykens. which also needs some re-
pairs. So it can readily be seen that
Gratz is not only without good railroad
accommodations. but is also almost
isolated by roads which in some places
come near being impossible.
Many residents OF Gratz are COM
PEELED to make almost daily trips TO
Loyalton and Lykens and the least
that can be said is that they are eX-
periencing extreme difficulty in reach
ing those towns.
Efforts are being made to have all
of the autoists and teamsters in Gratz
and the surrounding towns, Lykens,
WiConisco and Williamstown, arrange
for big meeting to discuss plans for
urging upon the State Highway De-
partment the necessity of improving
road conditions in the upper end Of
