Honesty Is straight and narrow
path which never gets too crowded for
comfort. Lots OF people are started in
this path while young by good father
and mother but before going very far
strike off into some alley and have to
be bailed out In a repentant state. d
Honesty consists in telling the truth
and backing II up with the goods. The
man who can l,ok i.seo pounds of soft
coal in the face and call 1t ton has q
definition Of honesty that is not given
in any dictionary. and the man who
buys the coal has a singing sensation
under the fifth rib. Whenever dis
honesty has tried to hook up with the
truth and do business with a pious
look, the result usually is TO dissolve
the partnership by mutual consent, be-
cause truth is not broken TO drive dou-
bic to any extent
The more honesty a man has about
his person, the less he wants to talk
about IT, Honesty very rarely travels

band, Whenever u person has SO much

of equal suffrage. She is a notable
the fact that she was born in Wis
consin.
Mrs. Gait has been active in the
suffrage work almost quarter of
century. She was a pioneer suffrasist
in Iowa. When she began work in
this state back in 1892 the question
of woman suffrage was answered with
smiling repartee. Legislatures had run
with the idea. Since then Mrs, Cart
has risen TO international prominence
and pre- eminence. She has covered
the United States with her presence
and her purpose. And she comes back
into Iowa this spring TO read that
woman suffrage is one OF the issues
upon which democrats base their
hopes of winning state election. IN
the interim she has seen nine states
follow the example of Wyoming and
grant equal suffrage rights TO women
Mrs. Gait was a resident OF Charles
City in her girlhood. a student at the
Ames school. an Iowa school ma am
later and married her first husband,
Mr.. Chapman, at Mason City. where
she had charge of rhe schools ana
Chapman was newspaper edltor.

Three dollars minute for temper
tween towns, ought to relieve Mr.
Bryan of that fear Of the wolf that so
affected him on a cabinet officers
salary.
At that circus the other day at Des
Moines Ed Meredith was ring master,
lion tanner and privilege man. Seemed
to be able 10 carry it all on too.
OF course the grabbing of republic
can issues by the democrats looks
sporty on the face Of it but it's like a
dub golfer starting out to play a
bogie score with nothing but a good
set Of clubs to help him. The gallery
will see some awful foozleing and Sic
ing into hazards before the course is
covered.
That deathly silence is Ed Dunns
democratic critics keeping still as
mice.
Villas body is slow in making its
appearance; but Villa isn't responsible
for that.
As to the expense Of the primary It's
no trouble to find a half dozen men
who would gladly attend to all nomi-
nations at nominal cost: in fact GER
tain folks used to pay out ten times
the cost Of a primary for the privilege.
There's a vast difference between
craftsmanship and stubbornness as
people are beginning TO realize.
The Dubuque Times Journal says
the primary in Dubuque wouldn't have
amounted to much except for the con-
test between Marsh and Dunn and the
candidacy of J. T. Adams. Which Is
equivalent to saying that a horserace
isn't a horserace without two or more
horses.

there will be difference Of opinion but
whatever the conclusions may be as
to his purposes the concensus Of con-
clusion as to the propriety and ex-

The submarine is an entirely new
element in sea warfare and port
blockades. Its effectiveness is proved
and being SO proved submarines win
be used in war by all nations until a
more deadly and effective weapon is
invented. To attempt to govern sub
erned wooden ships is manifestiy an
undertaking beyond ordinary means,
especially at the critical period Of
world war. 1t is as though the speed
laws governing horse drawn vehicles
were to be applied to the automobile
speeding for help to save burning
house. Only when this war is over
will be be able to revise the sea laws
to govern the submarine.

c0SSON GAINING.

Grapevine reports from all corners OF
of the state support the straw ballots
that give Cosson lead over other re-
publican candidates. If the conclusions
of close observers Of the trend in their
own communities and districts are to
be trusted Cosson is rapidly gaining
strength thru the general understand
ing that the vote must line up on him
in order to nominate a candidate strong
enough 20 hold his own against Mere
dish
The way the politicians figure it is
that Harding will get his IS per cent
With a solid wet vote he will attract
enough from other sources to bring his
vote up to the required percentage
That leaves 65 per cent to be divided
between Cosson, Allen and Kuehnie.
Kuehnle is not given any large per-
centage in the figures but if Kuehnle
were entirely eliminated and the IS per
cent equally divided between Cosson
and Allen neither could be nominated.
So, say the observers, self protection
and preservation of the things already
accomplished are bringing the repub-
lican majority to the conclusion that ii
it is TO nominate a progressive candi-
date. There is noticeable a falling
away Of Allen strength to Cosson. There
is no evidence that Allen is gaining any
votes from the Cosson candidacy.
The primary Is but a few weeks
away The republicans must make up
their minds as to what they are to do
nominate Cosson or be content with
Harding. That is the concensus OF
opinion founded on observation and re-
port
Cosson is one OF the men who do
things. He has accomplished things.
He is trusted fully by the dry and pro-
gressive voters OF the state. That he
would make an excellent governor his
opponents do not deny in the face of

republicans this year in the race that is
on, He is safe He is an officer frst
and a good fellow after. His closest
friends and supporters can not go
where the statute forbids. None would
ask him for advantage for all know
that Cosson's friends and his oath are
separate considerations and that his
duty comes first.
The best thing republicans can do
this year is to nominate George Cosson
and elect him. They can do both II
they do not stay asleep at the switch.
There is much at stake this year.
For the first time the democrats are
making real bid for control. Against
reactionary candidate nominated by
the republicans they will win and de-
serve to win. For they have grabbed
progressive republican policies in the
hope that reaction shall control repub-
lican primaries thru division and in
difference,
