fifty departments or commissions, each
being more or less independent of the
others. We favor such reorganiza-
ton of these departments as shall elm
mate duplication and reduce the cost of
government, and put an end to the use
of these commissions for the purpose
of paying campaign debts.
Upon the foregoing declaration of
principles, we appeal to the electorate
of Iowa for the support of our candi-
date and our cause.

Issued on Friday Of Each Week
The Denocratie State Platform.

Elsewhere we print the platform
adopted at Des Moines last week by
the Democrats of the state. 1t is
somewhat radical along several lines,
notably the liquor and road questions,
following the lead of the candidate for
Governor in these matters. The plat
form was largely the work of F. A. o.
Conner, of New Hampton, who was
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tions. Although the Democrats OF
Iowa are, in the minds of many OF our
people, associated with the liquor inter-
ests of the state, it is far from true.
The writer sat beside Ed Dunn at
Cedar Rapids when a member OF the
resolutions committee came to him and
said that the liquor element in the
party threatened defections If their
demands were not met, and Mr.. Dunn
at once replied that SO far as his candi-
dacy was concerned, that he did not
want any concession made to their
demands even if it meant his defeat.
The liquor interests have VIGOROUSLY
supported with their votes and cash the
Republican candidates for state and
legislative office while at the same time
these same candidates received the
confidence and support of the temper
ance people, but this year the mask is
off and the Republican party has as
it's candidate for Governor a man
whose every vote and act during long
career in the General Assembly was
favorable tc the wet element, who,
irrespective of party affiliations, sup
ported him in the primary. Will the
real temperance Republicans vote this
fall for Meredith, a man who will give
genuine enforcement of our prohibltory
laws, or will they continue to vote the
straight Republican ticket even though
their candidate is the acknowledged
champion of the liquor interests OF the
state? To do the latter is rank hypoc-
ricy.

The Marsh Campaign Fund.

The press has given extended notice
to the statement of w. w. Marsh, treas
urer of the Democratic national com
mittee, that he intends raising all the
money legitimately required for the
approaching campaign by contributions
from the rank and file of the party.
Mr.. Marsh remarked that he intends to
have a campaign fund OF. 81, 700, OOO
available for work and that he intends
the money to come from widows
mite" contributions.
The statement shocks some of the
metropolitan newspapers and some OF
the practical politicians" they being
ready to say 1T can't be done.
But not..so hasty. Mr.. Marsh is q
practical man. He is q wizard as an
organizer. He is not addicted to the
making of rash statements. He has q
habit Of going through with things hs
starts. He believes that party is best
organized when the members of it have
q financial interest, however small it
may be, in the party.
Mr.. Marsh's plan is that every men,
Der of the Democratic party in the
nation contribute something to the cof-
fers of the party. As Mr.. Marsh sees
it, the party is business organization
and its members the stockholders, liable
to small assessments for the purpose of
carrying on the business. 1t is not the
amount of the contribution that con-
Germs Mr.. Marsh. but the fact that
enough interest is shown to make con-
tributions.
1t is not Mr.. Marsh's plan to 60 to
''big business" for money to carry on
a campaign and to selfish persons, who
have to be paid afterward, if not in
money in legislation favorable to their
personal interests. 1t is his plan to
have the members of the party donate
the money, in which circumstance the
party will owe nothing to any interest
its debt will be to the people.
Setting about to raise campaign
fund of 81, 700, 600 without cent from
''the interests" that are always willing
to make an investment in political
party, looks like big task, but if only
one-fourth of the members of the Dem
ocratic party contribute dollar each,
the money is raised. The task is to
reach the members of the party and
impress upon them the necessity for
contributing Mr.. Marsh knows how
to reach the voters, too; he needs but
the help of energetic men in each state
who are with him in the determination
to not mortgage his party to any inter-
ests, but to hold it in position where it
will owe it's best efforts to the general
public. Waterloo Times-Tribune.

ORDER AFFECTS
UNITED STATES
British Public Must Boycott
Certain Firms.
1RADINe WITH ENEMY Law

From Seventy to Eighty Business Con.
Germs and individuals Are Involved
In New British Poliey-etate Depart.
ment May File an Objection.
London, July 18.-The British gov
eminent will publish a list Of from
seventy to eighty. business firms and
individuals domiciled in the United
States, with which residents of the
United Kingdom are forbidden to
trade.
This will be the first time that any
American firms have been placed on
the statutory list, which is better
known as the trading with the enemy
act blacklist.
All other countries have been repre-
scented on the list for some time.
The firms and persons who will be
affected are classified by the British
as follows:
First-German firms with head Of
fees or control in Germany.
Second-German firms incorporated
in the United States and therefore
technically American entities. In
these cases something more has been
required to qualify them for the statu-
tory list than German nationality
either assisting the enemy by loans,
propaganda or in regard to contra
band.
Third-Except in so far as covered
by the first or second qualifications
United States citizens as rule have
not been placed on the list. If any are
there 1t is because they are sole agents
for enemy firms resident in enemy ter
ritory.
Abuse Of Cable Facilities. 4.
Fourth - When, however, clear
abuse of cable facilities has been
proved a firm or individual may be
found on the list. BY abuse is meant
the use of secret code or of cloaks
to cover the fact that cables are being
used in a particular interest.
Laming WorthinEton Evans, control.
Ter of the foreign trade department of
the foreign Office, gave the following
Of the latest extension of
the trading with the enemy act:
1T has been the policy of the Brit
ish government in the past to follow
the theory that in forbidding its sub
jects to trade with an enemy, enemies
domiciled in friendly countries did not
oora0 ,,~dAr Tia ant
France and verious other countries
hold the doctrine that their nations
cannot trade with an enemy, no mat
ter what his domicile.
Modern conditions Of credit and
commerce make it possible for an en-
envy outside belligerent territory to
trade with this country. Therefore
body of opinion in this
country urged the government to
abandon its traditional doctrine and
the foreign ONCE, while not going to
this extreme, decided simply to pro-
hibit persons domiciled in the United
Kingdom from trading with a limited
number Of individuals, firms and COM
panies Of enemy nationality or asso-
citation under the same penalties as
though they were trading with an
enemy"
