THE BORDER OBJECT LESSON.

Whether the guard stays a longer or
shorter period on the border it will have
made soldiers out of the men. OF
course it is interfering with the bust
ness of some of the members, putting
others under the necessity of seeking
new jobs when they return to peaceful
pursuits and leaving families without
their bread winners, but there is no
way of making an omelet without
breaking eggshells. So the mobilization
is not needless" as some are urging.
but to give it its least immediate value
a training school for soldiers. The
men will come back from the camps un-
derstanding a soldiers duty. When
they go out again they will be by way
of veterans. ready to become imme-
diately serviceable on emergency.
1t has done something else in awak-
ening the country to a fact that the
guard Is quite as we'll prepared for
service as the federal military estab-
lishment is to put it into effective serv-
ice. That there is incompetency and
carelessness in authority, that congress
has been remiss in it's outlook to emer-
and that the United States was ready
only to repeat history Of 1883 has
been made evident by the wretched
handling of the few thousands of
guardsmen called to the Texas border.
Iowa soldiers went away with anti
auated and worn out arms as they went
forward with ancient Springfields in the
Spanish American war; they were fur
nished cast off uniforms and clothing
unadapted to the weather and to the
men themselves. They boiled Rio
Grande water and drank 1t hot with the
sun while they awaised erection of A.
tiers. What the federal establishment
would have done in real war is clear
only by what it didn't do with a few
regiments.
The mobilization is worth while. if
only for it's effect in awakening the
country to conditions rnat ought not to
exist in any minor country much less
in a great nation. We have discovered
that we have a splendid citizenship to
draw from in time Of actual trouble,
willing hands for the defence of their
country in need as we have had in
every war and that We have apparently
learned nothing by the lesson Of the
first years of the civil war and the ig-
norance or incompetence in authority
of the spanish war. Not only the guard
but the people and the congress have
learned much within the past six
weeks.

DANGER Of A FROST.

President Wilson's managers an
nounce that he Will not make a speak
ing tour thru the west, at least con-
sidering it beneath the dignity of the
presidential office to make such direct
appeal to the voters.
But is it less dignitieG to discuss
politics and the record Of official life
directly with the electorate than IL
power of patronage, assess every
holder of appontive federal office?
Mr.. Wilson is not the first president to
do this. of course, but what is essen.

retically at least the government

congressman into line but Roosevelt

occasion he aroused less enthusiasm

that Wilson is weak in sections where
a democrat president should be strong.
The conclusin is that there is more
shrewdness than dignity in the de-

quite as disnified TO appeal to the
voters for reelection as to annul and
dismiss the one term plank Of the con-
vention that nominated him under the
pressure of Mr.. Bryan's thumbscrews.
of being a diffident or super sensitive
person. On the contrary, he has APP
peared extremely determined and
anxious to retain the office he holds.
The suggestion is that the tour
threatens less danger to the dignity
of the presidential office than to the
succession. And that also appears to
be a shrewd conclusion.
The Wilson candidacy is melting low
temperatures all over the west. II is
hard to say just how, close to the APP
palachian the frost line may be.

THE THREATENED STRIKE.
Tnos MoiraS PaUicfpr I


If President Wilson has said gently
but firmly that the government of the
United States will seize the railroads
the moment the present owners prove
unable to operate them and will con-
script the railway employees to run
them. does anybody doubt that the
trouble will soon be over?
That Is precisely what David Ben
nett Hill proposed in the case Of the
coal mines some years ago, and David
Bennett Hill was not socialist, nor
reformer, nor a radical. He was
an eminently practical democratic
politician. and with some glimmer-
ings of craftsmanship.
II somebody should propose to
blockade the highways leading to
the railway stations the government
would order out the army IL that
seemed necessary to relieve the
blockade. Why are we so slow to
learn the lesson suggested by this
wise precedent created by our Eng
lish ancestors many generations ago?
The public service, such as 1t was In
the primitive days. was interrupted
by anybody at his peril. There Is
even a decision on record where the
court interviewed to prevent hotel
from closing until its patrons had
been properly cared for.
Judge De Graft a few years ago
ordered the Des Moines Street Rail-
way Company to run its cars and the
railway men to take their places on
the cars. Everybody said the order
was without warrant of law. But the
street railway company did not test
1t and the men did not test it. There
was no stoppage Of traffic in Des
Moines. and the difficulty was peace
ably adjusted.
The De Graft injunction was in the
spirit Of the old law with regard to
public service. II was an innovation
warranted by the notions of our an
cestors about the right to be served.
II man set out in the old days to
serve the public, serving the public was
his main business, and the public did
not allow itself to be much discom-
NODDED because OF some incidental dis
putes among those who we're serving.

The Mexican dollar is painful ex-
cuse for real money which circu-
lates in Mexico about as fast as bath
soap. The Mexicans formerly used
this dollar as a medium Of exchange,
but now its use is restricted to pay
ing debts owed to trustful Americans,
who are given their choice of accepting
it or dying far from home with poorly
concealed reluctance.
When that noble scion Of Mexican
aristocracy, V. Carranza, became pres
ident Of Mexico the Mexican dollar
could be sold In New York for 80
cents, but there were few takers. Car
raEza soon found that there were not
enough of these dollars to go around,
SO he began the manufacture Of paper
dollars which had nothing back Of
them except a strong current Of air.
This made a very satisfactory form Of
money, however and was rapidly ex-
changed for dry goods and groceries
whenever supported by a machine gun
The Mexican paper dollar is now worth
cents, at which rate it requires a
ten-ton truck to haul the price of
pair. Of shoes to town.
A popular abbreviation of the Next
can dollar in this country is the Mexi-
can quarter. This form of Mexican
vice ought to be barred from our
shores, as it is frequently used to
short change our people at circuses
and one-night stands. It is enough to
give patriotic American citizen 1000
feet Of commissions to pass out solid,
homemade dollar and get back a
handful of Mexican currency that
wouldn't buy ones way into a nickle-
odeon.

hoard itAup in large piles unless ne is
mentally deranged. 1t is no good ex-

q stretch Of it between the Ray

IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS


While both the railroads and the
trainmen have accepted the good Of
fees of the federal meriation and con-
Citation board. the trainmen have let
it be known that they intend to ad-
here to their original proposition and
that any form OF arbitration that does
not give them all they ask for will not
be accepted by them.
OF course such language was to have
been expected. Even the belligerents
in the European conflict are all de-
manding much more than each one
Of them expects to get when peace Is
finally declared. But the fact should
not be lost sight Of, either by the rail-
roads or the brotherhoods. that pub
lie sentiment Is a valuable asset in any
controversy such as that in which
they are now engaged. The party to
the controversy which, after having
accepted arbitration. refuses any rea-
sonable settlement of the dispute that
may be reached by the arbitrators.
after getting all the facts and hearing
all the arguments of b.th the duspu-
tants, stands in grave danger OF los
ing the sympathy of The public. And
public sympathy and support is al
ways essential in the winning of a
great strike.

LOOKING. BACKWARD.


Perhaps in this election majority
of the voters of Iowa will agree that
Mr.. Harding's view of this road and
bridge question comes nearer meeting
their convictions than the position OF
Mr.. Meredith. But In due season his
position will be utterly repud!ated be-
cause it is unsound from every point
of view. 1t proposes to continue an
expensive and inefficient system OF
road and bridge work with no. pros
pect OF a reduction of taxes in hun
dred years. 1t is unsound as an econ
omic policy for the reason that 1t re-
fuses to apply business principles to
road and bridge construction. l.s.,
Harding's political strategy may win
for him the coveted office Of governor,
but If his road policy prevails in this
state it will hold Iowa in the ranks
of the most backward states in the
country in this respect.
