IOWA OPINION AND NOTES

Taken from all angles" the Waver-
ly Independent believes that Bremen
county has been Just about as loyal
as the average American county. IT
would have been better If some OF the
trouble making Germans had been
silenced before the trouble reached
point where the government felt it
should question the honesty of our
local board of exemption and of our
citizens as a whole. Two or a hundred
men do not make county. and the
actions of few should not be con-
strued to mean that the whole COM
munity is governed by them, or that
their feelings are the feelings OF $4,000
people. Disloyalty should be squelched
wherever it shows its head. but some
times we are apt to see disloyalty IN
others that we can not see in our
selves
Admitting that 1t isn't a good time to
talk partisan politics" the Logan OBJ
server insists that it is a good time
to keep posted on events that transpire
so that you may know something about
politics. This country has never had
as many problems Of readjustment to
face as will come up after this war Is
over. In order to be certain that the
very best things for the country's well
fare viii be done 1t is necessary that
we all be wei Informed so that we may
vote right. Just keep informed so that
may vote right.
ut is more necessary" the Des
Moines Capital concludes, ito have the
next Iowa Legislature made up Of
patriots than it is to find men to make
up the next regiment for the battle
front"
The Cedar Rapids Republican says
that Congressman Good. Of the Fifth
district, it is reported In Cedar Rapids,
viii not take advantage OF the exemp-
ton granted to members OF congress.
but Will pay the tax upon his income.
The Republican says 1t will be dtsap-
pointed If every public official does not
follow Mr.. Goods example. Amy OFF,
cial who does not do So" the Republi-
can asserts, must be set down in the
most disgraceful list Of all the slackers
with which the country is infested.
And when congress meets again that
dtsgraceful and outrageous exemption
ought to be repealed"
The Manson Democrat suggests to
Senator Kenyon who has gone to Eu-
rope TO see the fighting at first hand
that "is he wants to see some good
second hand fighting. he should return
in time for next years political cam
paign. when the old bone Of wet and
dry VIII be chewed over again."

Courts do queerer things than juries.

to the Logan jail and gave Attorney
General Havaer change OF venue to

Gated the order as to Kelly. and Judge
Rockafellow overturned the HaVner
