The lodge is presided over by some
dignitary who is not on speaking
terms with the ritual, and is obliged
to make up one of his own on the
spur of the moment. The most sue
cussful lodges are those which have
more Offices than the entire popula-
ton, as shown by the last census,
which does not make it necessary to
drum out membership with an oyster
dinner. The .black ball' is per-

a candidates hopes and drive him
back to the bosom of his family dis
graced for life. It is one of the dead
Hest weapons in existence.
The lodge does q great deal of
good without hand accompaniment,
and will often sally out under cover
of night and chop wood for some un-
fortunate brother who has been pune

THE PASSING OF THE PRIVATE
BANK.

The bank examiners of Iowa report
that twenty-five private banks were
chartered as state banks during the
year 1915 and this is as it should be.
The strong and sound private banks
of Iowa are rapidly recognizing that
state charter and state regulation
is a certificate of character for any
bank. If the public only knew that
it's money deposited in private
bank is loaned to the banker without
security the institution of the private
bank would disappear from Iowa.
Many of them have been sound but
that kind have nothing to lose and
everything to gain from state regula-
ton. The other kind should not be
permitted to use the name bank" as
an easy method of borrowing money
with which to feed cattle or speculate
in land.-Marshall town Times-Re-

THE WARNING BY 1.-THE FAITH
Err"

One hundred and twenty-five years
ago, President Washington, the faith
er of the United States of America OF
this day, addressed congress in these
words:
The United States ought not to IN
dulge a persuasion that contrary to
the order of human events, they VIII
forever keep at distance these pain
full appeals to arms with which the
history of every nation abounds.
There is a rank due to the United
States among nations which will be
withheld, if not absolutely lost, by
the reputation of weakness.
IF we desire to avoid insult we
must be able to repel it. II we de-
sire to secure peace-one of the most
powerful instruments of our pros
perity-is must be known that we
are at all times ready for war;
To President Washington's appeal
the second congress of the United
States responded by passing ringing
resolutions pledging itself to provide
adequate defenses. How we'll it kept
that pledge was shown in 1912 when
cur infant republic sent to the front
nearly six hundred thousand we'll
equipped soldiers and successfully re-
sisted the British legiOns.
| President Wilson has made the
same appeal to the sixty-fourth con-
gress. In 1893, the United States
was an impoverished nation, strug-
Cling to win it's place in the SUM- 1t

the cost of carrying out the admins

much less sacrifice than was gladly
made by the second congress and the
people of the United States in 1893.
Is America less patriotic now? The

EMIGRATION AFTER THE WAR.

The Journal does not pose as a
prophet, but it is quite unable 10
conjure up vision of that FLOOD or
immigration" which some nervous
people declare will descend on us al
ter the war. .
True, life will be hard in Europe
after this war is over, but the hard
ship will be more evenly distributed
than for many years before. Labor
will be in demand Wages will rise,
in spite of the poverty Of the CONT
nent; for there is world OF recon
struction work to be done, and the
men who will have to do IT are De-
coming fewer each day. Governments
will do their utmost to keep their
citizens at home; and there is anoth-
er factor which most prophets forget
that ought to count for something.
The normal man, especially OF the
class to which most OF our 1mml-
grants belong, wants to get married.
If he stays at home after the war, ne
is sure of a mate. If he emigrates,
he goes to a land where the women
who speak his language are few ana
his matrimonial chances are exceed
ingly slim. 1t takes a good sized
economic advantage to overcome
handicap like that,
Men who lived in America before
the war but went back to Europe 1or
military service are likely to return
to this country in considerable num-
bers when the conflict is over. Mar
ried men with little property who
find post bellum taxes oppressive
may seek a home abroad. Temper
airy or local depressions may SEND
emigrants flocking for time TO the
westward bound steamers. But, for
the most part, it seems probably that
the populations weakened by blood
letting will not be further reduced by
migration.-ChicagO Journal.

Lodges.

The lodge is an organization of
married men who are looking for
rest. 1t was gotten up in the first
place for the benefit of husbands who
felt the need of retreating to some
quiet spot and shaking off an attack
of dark red melancholy, surrounded
by sympathetic friends and the blithe
bird like notes of the inner guard.
Until the lodge was invented the
husband of bright and talkative
wife was not able to get away from
home long enough to think two long
despairing Trunks. This is one rea-
son why our forefathers wore such
hopeless yet resigned look, as
shown by their photographs. When
the lodge sprang up, however, it was
sprung into by thousands of subdued
husbands who otherwise never would
know how Main street looks at night.
Some men are better springers than
others and leap into the thirty-third
degree, leaving in their wake the
ashes of a once happy home and q
mournful string of semi-annual dues.
The lodge has one of the noblest
missions on earth, as it teaches the
novitate not to skin trustful broth
er when he is looking in another di-
rection. 1t also teaches the candi-
date how to present arms" with 4
long blue spear, but its most Inn
portant lesson Is that of secrecy. No
member of lodge has ever revealed
the password or the grand hailinG
sign Of distress without giving q pro-
nounced impetus to the UNDERTAKING
business. The only way lodge e.
cret ever leaks out d through soms

LAWS WITH FLAWS.

An Iowan is in jail for trapping
wolves. 1t seems that he and another
had trapped two wolves over in Mon
roe county, sold the pelts and at
tempted to collect or did collect the
head bounty. 1t was violation
somehow or other of the closed sea-
son for trapping and somebody COM
planned and the trapper found him.
self shut in the jaws of the law.
1t is a peculiar case. A wolf should
be an outlaw to be killed or trapped
on sight as a sheep thief and ma
rauder. If there is any way to turn
the man loose he should be sent
home, the bounty paid him and the
law, if it protects wolves, amended.
However, we shall not demand the
entire repeal of all protective game
laws because twist in the law seems
to give protection to wolves. We shall
fix it so that sheep killing wolves
have no more immunity than sheep
killing dogs, and go on protecting
game Just the same. That plan will
appeal to all sensible persons.
The same good sense and judgment
should be used on all laws which
GENERALLY serve a good purpose and
which have some lack that may be
twisted into an argument against the
law. That is true of liquor legisla-
ton and of road laws and all manner
of laws. born and framed in a spirit
of progress and service which need
pruning here and building up there.
It would neither be good sense or
good citizenship to assume and say
the protective law is foolish" and
1@O Oft nj
make political capital out of it against
legislators and executives because
man had been put to Jail for trapping
wolves in Iowa. And there is as lit
tie honesty in the demagogery that
attempts to discredit other good laws
after that fashion.
We shall go on making laws with
flaws in them and eliminating the
flaws to the end of time. All things,
laws included, grow and change as
adaptation to changed conditions be-
come necessary. Laws are but the
machinery of the government. They
change and are improved as farm ma
chinery is changed and improved to
meet modern necessities and condl-
tons. We have changed certain laws
to fit present conditions much to the
disgust of certain minority elements
in this state. But the politician who
builds hope for his personal ambition
upon opposition and an effort to dis
credit the concensus OF Iowa thought
upon that matter is building on sand.
One quality is making itself very APP
parent in Iowa politics, the horse
sense of the Iowa voter.-Marshall-
town Times-Republican.

WILSON'S BEST ACHIEVEMENT.

In the congress of the Latin-Ameri-
can states just concluded at Wash
ington, there was brought forward
by the delegates an expression OF
President Wilson's best achievement.
This was when these delegates declar-
ed that the mention of the Monroe
doctrine no longer excites the fear
and resentment of the weaker repub-
lies of this hemisphere.
The Monroe doctrine has formerly
appeared to be fearsome thing to
almost every other republic in the
Americas, because they had been Civ
en- some reason to suspect that it
meant the ultimate dominion of the
United States.
Well did the ambassador from
Chile says that there had been mis-
understanding and erroneous inter-
probation which had in former times
clouded the horizon of America, and
that there had prevailed before now
in the American atmosphere uncer-
tainties, misgivings and suspicious
whenever the well-inspired and un-
questionable beneficial declaration by
President Monroe was brandished in
the United States with view to prac-
teal application" and that many
of the weaker nations seemed afraid
and apprehensive whenever the news
reached them of possible practical
application of it's declaration"
Up to the time that Woodrow Will
son took command of our govern
ment there has been at intervals a
desire disclosed to exploit the weaker
Americas, the latest being the ''tak-
ing" of the strip for the Panama
canal through the incitation of revo-
luton in Columbia, and the setting
up of the government of Panama.
President Wilson has given all
Latin-America the guaranty that
there will be no more of that. He did
it by his policy in Mexico, in which he
asked the cooperation of the other
American republics. That was the act
that proved an earnest of his policy
that the Monroe doctrine is thing
that is the common property of all
of the Americas, for the protection of
all and the enjoyment of all.
What it will mean for closer rela-
tionship and friendly cooperation is
Just beginning to reach the common
comprehension of all, and those who
grasp it's significance will think that
they can see in 1t the greatest OF the
many works Of the administration
