THE IRISH RESURRECTION"

The outbreak in Ireland. while Sc
rious in embarrassing the British gov
eminent. will have particular effect
upon the war. The insurrection will
be controlled safely enough but it will
require a certain number of soldiers
retained in Ireland that might have
been sent to the front. Without doubt
it will have an effect upon enlstments
crease in seriousness. So far as that
is concerned fears of riot and internal
troubles over conscription may break
out at any time in England where
there is a very marked feeling against
forced service.
But that Ireland is in insurrection
or likely to be does not follow because
Of Sir Roger Easements rather freak
ish knight errantry or because Of riots
in Dublin.
Those who read our own history will
recall that this country was stirred
by the draft riots in New York and
that these riots were hailed by Con-
federate sympathizers here and abroad
as indicative Of serious division in the
north. But they were simply riots
without real head or organization and
utterly misrepresented the sentiment
of the north and Of the state and city
wherein they took place.

WITNESSES FOR COSSON.

The daily newspapers that took a
firm stand against the saloons favor
Cosson's nomination. The attitude of
the T.-R. in the state and in its own
community when the saloon fight was
on need not be recalled to its readers.
The Des Moines Register and the Des
Moines Capital both stood against the
saloon when the pinch came in the
capital city. The Burlington Hawkeye
was an anti saloon paper when it
took nerve to oppose saloons.
The Hawkeye says:
Present indications point strongly to
the nomination Of Attorney General
George Cosson for governor. Cosson
is a man Of fixed principles, resolute,
broad minded and with high ideals OF
the requirements Of public service.
The Des Moines Register says: ~.
cosson is one Of the most diligent,
thorough-going, capable and disinter-
ested public officials who has ever
served Iowa. Il 10 hard to say toe

STRICTLY "MCTUAL!"
[ThOmpsons COurier.l

We are queer people-some of us.
We went on record against Sunday
baseball at a commercial club meeting
some time ago, and now when the boys
are booked TO play with other teams In
other towns on Sundays we are real
peeved at their action, We know 1t is
a losing proposition to- play baseball
In Hick towns on week days, simply
because we won't take time OFF from
our business to go to the games, and
yet We are inconsistent enough to ex-
pect that the boys should maintain a
team. We don't know but what we
all are more or less foolish on this
Sunday baseball proposition. The way
some Of us look at It, "a Sunday ball
game is the greatest crime in the cal
endar-aud having stopped the nefar-
ious practice We jump into our little old
gas wagon and proceed to desecrate the
Sabbath by smelling up the peaceful
Sunday air with some Of John D.
Rockefel,ers rotten gasolene in order

dend We play croquet ring around
rosy and pitch horse shoes. over which
we often quarrel and raise lot of
, noise; we sit around or stand around

| more eussed than Sunday baseball ever
could be; but in every such instance
| we have no scruples about desecrating
the Sabbath ..-""

PEOPLE OF MORGAN TOWNSHIP BEWARE

The voters Of Morgan township in
Franklin country are being asked to
do a very unwise thing at an election
on May 4. It has been proposed to
vote $4,000 in bonds with. which to
build nine new country schools at an
expense Of $500 each and thereby
saddle on to Morgan township for an
other generation school system
which is as obsolete as an old Marsh
harvester.
The town Of Bows touches this
township at one corner and Coulter at
another. The sum proposed for nine
little school shacks is half enough to
build one permanent brick building
with eight rooms for eight grades. The
thing for the people of Morgan town
ship to do is to consolidate with some
body and have a graded school for
their children to attend. The one room
country school with a sixteen year old
girl trying to teach eight different
grades with one child to the grade Is
a relic Of antiquity Today the chill
dren from the farms in up to- date
communities go TO school in modern
graded schools where they have spe-
cial teachers trained and equipped for
their work, as efficient as the teach
ing force of any city school Those
children travel to and from school in
a bus as comfortably as a travelling
man. In the eastern and far western
states where the roads are hard with
gravel or pavements they ride to
school on bicycles but everywhere the
little one-room school is passing
Why seek to saddle it on to Morgan
| township for the next twenty years
with a bond issue? 1t would be no
shorter in vision to mortgage ones
home to buy an automobile for the

at least be a modern convenience while

CONFERENCES.

In a speech before conference of
his friends in Des Moines Senator
Allen argued that he ought to be pre-
ferred to Cosson because he had once
offered to submit his candidacy to a
conference while Cosson insisted upon
relying upon the primary. Since then
it has been Allen who refused to be
bound by conference of dries known
as Business Mems Temperance AS
ISOLATION in session at Des Moines be-
cause, as he said, it contained a ma
jority who favored Cosson. The con-
ference is difficult thing to manage
to the satisfaction Of opposing candi
dates but the voter will be compelled
to make his own choice The dries are
split as between Cosson and Allen with
CossOn far in the lead but the vets
are united upon Harding. The dries
can't nominate both Of their men so
choosing becomes compulsory.

position to the saloon and the boot
legger says:
It seems to the Tribune that the
nomination of any other man than
Cosson win be a weakness of the pro-
hibition sentiment and 1t will en-
courage men to believe that the pend
ing constitutional amendment may be
defeated. 1t is no DISBURSEMENT to
others to say that they do not have the
reputation as an enforcer of law such
as distinguishes Cosson
The Cedar Rapids Gazette says:
Cosson typifies the open game in
politics. He has advanced ideas and
knows how to execute them. Cosson
is the most logical man of the two for
governor. .>@'-F
The Des Moines Capital says:
Attorney General George Cosson
will win the republican nomination for
governor of Iowa in the June primaries.
He win lead the ticket in number of
votes received in almost as many
communities as Senator Joe Allen and
Lieutenant Governor Harding COM
bined.
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says:
There is beginning a strong drift
toward Attorney General Cosson.
without disparagement of the quail
ties of other candidates, it is clear that
the men who are heading the move
ment to bring about the nomination OF
Cosson believe that he will make a
wise and progressive governor.
Those are strong newspapers and
represent all sections of Iowa. Their
testimony seems to effectually dis
pose of any unwise and unfounded
charges that may have been brought
against CoSson's temperance record by
any other candidates or their friends.
A similar list Of weekly newspaper
expression from newspapers noted for
their stand on the liquor question
when it meant something to stand
where they did, would corroborate the
testimony Of the da lilies as to Cosson's
record as an man who had done things
with his own hands and who may be
expected to keep on doing things if
given wider opportunitl.
Those are star witnesses. They
have proved their right to testify as
to character and repute on the tenn
perance question. And they choose
Cosson as representative of the move
ments they have stood for in Iowa.
1t is up to the republicans Of the
state to choose the candidate who
shall oppose Meredith on dry plat
form Shall it be CosSon, dry. on
ness on a dry pla form?

der to stimulate the sale Of bibles and
court plaster. After new compliment
owner of an automobile has put up one
of these tops alone. In a hard rain
storm, his feelings will be greatly re-
lieyed by applying 8 few passages Of
choice old testament rhetoric and pre-
serving his knuckles in liquid court
plaster. 8. .,st
The one-man top has sold more
automobiles in this country than
the promise to extract forty-two miles
per gallon OF gasolene. AS result, dur
ing the touring season our roads are
Uttered with husbands and fathers who
are trying to put the top up without
using q rope and tackle, falling miser-
ably in the attempt and being obliged
to listen to the loud. sonorous cackle of
passers-by who had theirs put up by
the entire garage force. 1t shows how
far removed from civilization we are
when such q sight as this can provoke
levity in the breast Of an ungodly
neishbor lad
After the one-man top has been ex-
posed to the rain and sun for a few
weeks, 1t begins to shrink at the rate
OF four knots a day, after which it is
taken down on the instalment plan and
laid to rest in a neat rubber envelope.

HARDING'S EXCUSES.

w. L. Harding Is an efficient politi-
clan. and as such he realizes that it
would not be wise to admit the almost
universal support that is accorded by
the remnant of the liquor interests in
Iowa. The worst setback that Mr..
Harding's campaign received was the
endorsement Of the organized Daven-:
port vets. Harding attempts to coun.
teract the effects OF this action by lay
ing stress on his promise to enforce
every law II elected. the liquor laws in
cluded. *
One of the recent moves to gain for
himself some dry support is letter
sent out from Sioux City by the
Harding for Governor" organization to
many of the preachers Of the state. The
letter is sent to preachers especially be-
cause 1t has been our observation that
the members Of the clergy in Iowa de-
sire TO do the fair and honorable thing
In politics . The letter. Of course. IS a
defense of Harding's Legislative record
and an attempt to show that he has
been on the right side OF great moral
questions In Iowa.

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.
Burlington Gazette

A meeting will be held in Middletown
this evening to discuss the question of
consolidated schools. The best proof of
the success of the school consolidation
idea is afforded in the fact that those
districts that have consolidated would
not return to the old system. Its main
advantage lies in the fact that 1t af-
advantage lies in the fact that it af-
fords the rural school pupil educational
advantages equal with those enjoyed
by his city cousin. The cost may be
q trifle heavy in the start but it is
equaized as time goes by and has been
known TO be more economical in the
long run. There are schools In this
county with but a handful Of pupils
and the cost per capita Of educating
these pupils is a heavy drain on the
taxpayers. The consolidated school
idea is well worthy of serious consid-
Grafton and favorable, action.

vINToN's COUNTRY CLUB.

lNeuaT ftdpiuS
Vinton has decided to lay out coun-
try club, with a golf course. For the
purpose forty acres adjoining the city
has been purchased, q tract Of ground
which the Cedar Rapids professional,
Mr.. David Smith, Of the Cedar Rapids
Country Club, has pronounced an ideal
piece of land for a small club. Nine
holes will be laid out for the Vinton
players. The ground' purchased rep
resented $500 an acre,-or $4,000 il all
That is within $1,000 of the amount
that the Cedar Rapids club paid some
years ago for the $50 acres of land
which Is now estimated to be worth
100000. or about $500 an acre, much
land in that vicinity having sincr.
changed hands at nearer a thousand
dollars an acre. The Cedar Rapid.
club has never fully realized how lucky
they were in getting that piece Of park
grounds. In Vinton the promoters of
the club believe that 1t will have an
important influence in the lives of all
the people, especially of the boys and
the young men-and girls also. 1t will
give them some place Of amusement,
Of recreation with benefits to health
and happiness. The point is really quite
important for in America we have not
always, nor everywhere. provided for
the diversificatlon Of life.
