SHOULD BE ABOVE REPROACH.
Iowa City Citizen: 1t is not us
ual for newspapers to discuss the
personal and private practices OF
public men, but the statement of Mr..
Meredith regarding the use of wine
on his own table, as given by a
friendly newspaper, the Des Moines
Register, makes it permissible to re-
fer to it. Doubtless there are many
public men who do what Mr.. Mere
dith admits, and there are differences
of opinion as to whether that is rep
rehensible or not, but not many of
them SO doing will appear conspicu-
ously as a professed leader in a
movement for absolute prohibition.
The weak spot in the Meredith
armor for this kind of campaign
was known to many of the newspa-
per men of the state, who hesitated
about making direct reference to 1t
before Mr. Meredith did SO.
1t was not without reason that
church conference resolutions favor
ing Meredith suddenly ceased to APP
pear a few weeks ago.

The democratic party came into
power a little more than three years
ago yelling SO loudly for economy
that it sounded like the artillery fire
around Verdun, but now its feeble
whisper for economy reminds one oil
the dying gasp of a crawfish. AND
nobody can blame the democratic
party, in view of its record, for this
marvellous change in attitude.

HARp1NG,s GOOD SENSE.

We will have to give it up. Mr..
Harding is wet. In recent address
he said churches should put swim
ming pools in their Easements in
stead of steeples on the roof. A
steeple on the roof costs lot OF
money, and come to think about 1T,
isn't worth a cent. 1t is a custom
handed down from ages ago and is
followed now simply because the
people have became accustomed to
that sort of architecture. A swim
ming pool in the basement OF the
church wouldn't cost any more than
the steeple on the roof and it would
be a thing of much value, especially
to the children, and anything that
is of value to the children is worth
while. Harding is progressive
thinker and has the courage to speak
out a thought when a good one comes
along. Why not hereafter in build
ling churches follow out his sugges-
tions?
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1916-08-22

No, the Freeman-Tribune is not
expecting Harding's majority tc
reach 100000. but it is expecting ii
to pass the $4,000 mark, and the vii
famous cartoons, picturing Mr. Hard
ing as saloon bum and the assocf-
ate of bootleggers and all sorts OF
criminals. will help in attaining this
result. The people like fair fight
but they do not like character assas-
sination through the medium of vile
pictures in newspapers.

KENYON POLITICAL BROKER?

The Marshalltown Times Republic
can, too, is joining in the insinua-
ton that Senator Kenyon mortgaged
his manhood for support during his
first senatorial campaign. Hear it:
"The Des Moines Register is realiz-
ing the truth of the oft quoted asser-
ton that declares, sharper than a
serpents tooth it is to have an I'M
grateful child" This is case where
in two separate and distinct bites
have been inflicted. Kenyon's whole
sale endorsement of Harding is the
latest wound. 1t was preceded by a
similar endorsement of Ben Salinger
for the supreme court from the same
source. The sting of it lies much in
the fact that the Register brought
Mr.. Kenyon out for senator and
fought hard and finally winning
fight for his election. How closely
the Register was identified with the
brokerage of future support in that
contest and the mortgaging of state
Offices that seems to have been part
of the capitalization of that organ
lied campaign is not of record"
AS a matter of fact, the Register
didn't bring Mr.. Kenyon out for SEN
ator. If it had, that would not, give
| it the right to dictate to the senator
in the matter of supporting or bolt
ing other republican candidates. and
the insinuation of the Marshalltown
paper that Kenyon was running a
brokerage joint in connection with
his campaign for senator is an in
situation which the editor of the
Times-Republican knows to be un-
true. However, that authority ap-
pears to think the senator should
have mortgaged his conduct in Iowa
politics because the Register sup
ported him. But how about the eth
err support the senator received? How
could he pay off all the mortgages
by bowling before the Register die
tator? A vast majority of the men
who supported Kenyon in his initial
campaign are now for Harding and
the entire republican ticket, and il
the senator Is trying to pay old po'
litical debts, which he is not, the
Times Republican to the contrary
Notwithstanding, he would pay then
at about the ratio of sixteen to one
by supporting the republican ticket
this year from top to bottom.
| Senator Kenyon did not make his
statement hurriedly. He made care
full investigation and the Freeman.
Tribune believes he is fully justified
in the conclusion that, even If tenn
perance is the only issue, w. l.
Harding is equal in every respect tt

Voters generally are considering
the questions of which party can best
serve the country after the European
war. Problems will then be up that
will demand craftsmanship of high
order and the party of protection
will be needed at the helm, The

then be needed to insure our share

In 1856 the newly born republi.
can party refused to nominate JUS
tice of the supreme court, John Nc.
Lean, of Ohio, because he was jus
tice of the supreme court. James G
Blaine was one of the few delegates
who argued that it was not improp
err to take candidate from the ma
tons court.-Sioux City Tribune.
Well, what Of it? The republican
party has learned a whole lot during
the past sixty years, even though the
democratic party has stood practic'
ally still since the days of Andrew
Jackson, as it's rush for the pie
counter indicates. 1t was Old Andy
who said that "to the victors belong
the spoils." No doubt Old Andy was
opposed to going to the supreme
court for president. A man with
a supreme court training woult
hardly suit the spells hunters.

Just now, when the democratic
party is undertaking to laugh Judge
Hughes off the platform because OF
his revelations anent the democratic
record in regard to civil service re-
form, it might be well to recall the
attention of voters to the fact that
all parties during the past twenty
or thirty years have pretended to be
in favor of genuine civil service re-
form, and during that time much
improvement in the service has been
wrought. 1t used to be accepted as
a matter of course that men employ
ed in the railroad mail service would
lose their jobs when the opposing
party came into power, and as re-
suit each mail messenger was po-
litical partisan and was expected to
do what he could for his party. Mer-
it didn't count in those days in the
mail service. The controlling factor

issued statement in which he calls
attention to the fact that all men
who had positions in the postal SER
vice and have been called out in the
National Guards will, upon honor
able discharge, be granted their old
positions again and at the same sal
airy they received at the time OF the
call. The postmaster general goes
on to say that a number of newspa-
pers have given the impression to
their readers that the members of
the guard who had positions in the
postal service would not be able to
get their places again upon their re-
turn from the border. This state
ment, according to Mr.. Burleson, is
not correct, and he says very en-
phatically that order number 9747 of
June 26, which provides that the
members of the guard will have the
positions upon their return or dis
charge, will be enforced. The part
of this proceeding that the country
does not like is the stopping of the
regular pay of the employees during
their military service. They left jobs
paying from $50 to 500 per month
and shouldered the musket at SIS
per month. OF course they will get
their jobs back, but their patriotism
will cost them from $35 to $S5 per
month.
