Iowa is fully patriotic as her war rec

to march in preparedness parades when

Roosevelt can't stampede the Chicago

it most confidently are wondering
whether he WILL

time 1t will win next time. Votes for
women is as certain as the sunrise.
Because it is both natural and
righteous.
The question which will arise during
the long wait for the results of the

worth the money to pay enough to hire
quick and competent persons to count
the ballots.

JUSTICE HUGHES At HOME.

The New York Tribune, which may
be presumed to know as much about
Justice Hughes as any other goes
back to the governorship held by him
and the fight that conferred about him
in New York The Tribune reviewing
the advancement in decent politics
during Mr.. Hughes terms says:
This hopeful beginning, this founda-
ton for the building Of a real force
for decent and independent service in
state affairs, was wrecked when Gov
ernor Hughes suddenly accepted an
appointment to the supreme court
bench and left those who had rallied
to him and to his cause to fare as
best they could. The Hughes move
ment, deprived of it's leader, promptly
collapsed. The men who had stood
with Hughes, deserted by their lead
er, became the victims Of the bosses
whom they had fought. The cause
of decent state government was put
back UNNECESSARILY, and We have since
had for governors Dix and Sulzer and
We have Whitman. who perhaps,
ranks half way between the two.
Looking at the past squarely it will
be perceived that Mr.. Hughes, by fol-
lowing his personal ends in the matter
of the governorship in 1906, did actu-
ally render real public service, be-
cause there was sound reason why a
governor should he chosen in that
year who owed nothing to the repub-
lican politicians and would be able
therefore, to steer clear course and
defy the mandates Of those who had
been accustomed to control republic
can politics for many years. But in
1910. by following a similar course and
paying no attention to any considera-
ton save that Of personal ambition or
preference, MIR. Hughes did real in
jury to a cause and to men who had
risked their all in his fight.
The Tribune seems convinced that
the impeling motive Of Hughes is per-
sonal and selfish and goes on to say:
To The Tribune it seems perfectly
clear that Mr., Hughes is once more,
as in 1910, risking a cause and i'm
perilhng men and ideals that are Of
immeasurable value, simply because. in
the crisis he is thinking not Of the
whole question, but only Of the ad-
vantages and disadvantages which will
flow to him from one of several pos
sible courses. In other words. Mr..

| ing Is concerned? ~ 81.
You trust the women folks to look
after your children in school, and next
/ to the home, the school Influence Is the
most potent in their lives. Now If the
women are capable of training your
kids-the most valuable possession you
have-then why aren't they mighty
good folks to say what rules shall gov
ern those kids and the balance of US
| outside Of school, and who shall do the
governing?
That the women folks perform these
vital duties so thoroughly well is only
convincing evidence that they will
bring the same -unselfish devotion, the
same earnest judgment. the same high
morality into their voting.
Now, Ben, if they can do all these
! things SO we'll. don't you think the only
square deal you can give your wife is
| to let her vote If she wants to? And
there are a lot Of these same good wo-
men who do want to vote
How would You feel about it If you
were threatened with having the vote
taken away from you? Surprising you
| were working SO earnestly and so eff
wife is and as the other women folks
are, and then there was a real move
| ment to take your vote away from you?
Would you think it square deal? OF
| course you wouldn't. Then how can
you think 1t square deal for her?
If I wanted to put something wicked
! or corrupt across l wouldn't want the
| women folks to have say so about
1t: If wanted to elect a vicious man
to office l would rather not have the
| women folks vote. So Ben, not only
on the basis of being square with your
| wife. but on the basis of getting the
best laws and the best officers, oughtn't
you vote to give her the vote?
Come on Ben, and all You fellows;
let's be square with the women folks
| and give them the vote in Iowa next
Monday.

I ever saw was opposed to the women

Hannibal was one OF long process

to disrupt the Roman Empire and
struck out on waist high ball.
Europe used to be full of brigadier-
generals who wanted to whip Rome
as stepping stone to seat in Con-
gress, and practically all Of them died
in the attempt, wearing q look of deep
disappointment.
Hannibal was born in Carthage
about 247 B. c., or within gunshot
thereof, and came from an aristocratic
family. Before he was eighteen years
Of age Hannibal had learned not to fold
his napkin but to roll 1t carelessly into
ball and throw 1t into the finger bowl.
Hannibal's mother kept maid and an
electric washer, and belonged to every
thing from the Lady Maccabees to the
Child's Conservation League. His
father was a military genius. and when
Hannibal was nine years old the elder
Hannibal made him promise that the
first time he met the Roman Empire
he would knock its block off or words
to that effect. If Hannibal could have
read the future he would have remain

In pursuance of his promise Hanni

10000 soldiers, carrying their own feet
and other luggage, 1900 horses and 81
elephants. Before the army had reach
ed the base of the Alps several Of the
foot soldiers wanted to put their feet in
the elephants trunks, but Hannibal
would not allow this which caused dis
affection and chillblains to spread
throughout the ranks. The Journey
across the Alps was a painful one, and
no doubt produced almost as much
anguish as the graduating Grafton

LAST WEEKS BUSINESS.

Feverish buying has subsidized, but in
it's place has come steady, more Or
derby and yet very large volume of
business, and the virtual arrival of the
between-seasons period sees trade as
we'll as industry moving along at a
rate far above the seasonal normal.
Neither the reduced domestic buying OF
steel nor the weakness in southern pig
iron, old materials and such metals as
copper, spelter. lead, tin and antimony
loom large in an otherwise strong sit
uation. Optimism, tho tempered by
high prices, is not one whit less
marked than it was at the height of
the boom, the plain fact being that the
country is sold up and therefore can
afford to sit back for a breathing spell.
Industry is working at an unwonted
pace, diminished new buying Of domes-
tic steel is offset by foreign demand,
the old story of labor commanding
high wages is more applicable than
ever, and warm weather has improved
retail trade as we'll as crop conditions.
Indeed, interior retail dealers continue
to buy freely, activities Of political
lights are subordinated to solid bust
ness movements, jobbing trade is quite
active, thanks to filling-in orders,
light weight summer goods receiving
the call. and while wholesale trade is
shaded in consonnance with the sea-
son, fall orders continue to come out
in an astonishing way. Mail order
trade goes on expanding. the principal
centers report that road orders are
highly satisfactory, and semi-annual
clearance sales Of dry goods and gen.
eral merchandise at the west are we'll
attended by visiting buyers. most of
whom purchase literally.

is, however, a strong disposition to re-

tendency seems to be to hold back for

ANOTHER BIG aNo IMPORTANT CONVENTION

ton and conservation of the fly family
! this noble friend had managed to keep
| the same old manure pile in his alley
as a rock in a weary land and shelter
in the time of storm for the muscae
of all varieties, and demanded a flying
vote of thanks. The convention rose
in a cloud in unanimous response. The
resolution was ordered engrossed on
wall paper with the sign manual OF
the fly family
The platform adopted viewed with
alarm the growing tendency of a con-
trolled and subsidized press to urge
and abet the destruction Of breeding
places and spots of assembly like that
maintained by the honorable gentle
man where the convention was met;
denounced the makers Of sticky
fly papers and manufacturers OF
screens; demanded that all bacteriolo- !
gists should be banished or electro |
cuted and that antiseptics and their |,
use be forbidden by law. |

said in part:

these exist the battle is not lost. The

If as stated by the political weather
prophets the colonel can name the
nominee of the convention whether or
not he can name himself it is pretty
good evidence Of his ability to come
back long way from 1912.
Also it is the dictum Of William
oppose Hughes unless that eminent
jurist comes out Of the high grass and
show himself for what he is and is
likely to be. AS Hughes seems to in
tend to keep his veil on the Roose-

The viceroy of India, as representa-
tive Of the king emperor, is entitled to
salute of thirty-one guns. This
also had its origin In mistake. For
merly he was entitled to twenty one
guns. When the time came, years ago,
for alloting the salutes to the varic IS
native rulers Of India, the three prin-
cipal Of these vassal sovereigns namely
those of Hyderabad, Mysore and Bar
oda, were each accorded twenty-one
guns. It was discovered little late
in the day that the superior rank Of
viceroy had been overlooked in the
matter, and the necessity was pointed
out Of his supremacy over the vassal
rulers being emphasized in the eyes OF
the natives. So, instead of reducing
the number Of twenty-one guns that
had been accorded to the three rulers
in question. the viceroy was given ten
more guns, and is today entitled to that
altogether exceptional number or guns.
1t Is difficult for people on this side
Of the Atlantic to form any estimate
Of the service which these salutes have
been to Great Britain in India, and 1t
was remarked on one occasion by a
shrewd French visitor to Calcutta that
England maintained ne. sway over
100000, 900 people by the use Of mere
blank cartridges.

THEIR WEE BROTHERS GRAVE.

lDeS MONIES Capital
The Scotch are great people. For
more than a century they have been
Ia part of the British empire and have
maintained their own characteristics
as fully as if they had been q separate
nation.
Three years ago, the writer was
travelling in Scotland and happened to
be in a compartment car with stall
wart woman who was taking care Of
her two boys. aged and 8. The
boys were singing the Gaelic songs.
Finally the mother was asked il she
had other children. She replied that
she had several, and further related
that she was taking her two boys up
to the "Heelands" to show them their
wee brothers grave. Some years pre-
vious, this mother had buried wee
boy in the Highlands. She was travel
ing many hours by rail to show her
boys the baby's grave.
How many American mothers would
take two little boys from Davis
county. Iowa, to Sioux City to show
them their little brothers grave?
But the Scotch have a spirit and an
affection Of their own, illustrated by
the conduct of this mother.
We are concentrating great events
today by strewing flowers on the
graves Of our patriotic dead. We are
moved with the same spirit which
prompted the Scotch mother. She was
determined that her wee baby should
never be forgotten and equally de-
termined that the boys who had been
spared life should know about the
| little one who had gone before.
