The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-08-17

Imove him in the daytime without inviting
hail of bullets and death for both, he lay on Top
of him to protect him from harm and wanted
for nightfall When darkness came the nero ;
back was full of shell splinters but ne brought
in his chum, alive.
The hero torn by the shrapnel from when
he saved his companion, was invaded nome.
His fame preceded him and the whole town
accorded him honorable reception on ms al
rival Nothing was too good Tor nm; put a
day or two later found him In jail as usual, as
he has been often since, as in his unheroic days.
Heroes are queerly compounded clay, like the
rest of us There never was hero who had
not angularities. idiosyncrasies delinquiencies
or callosities on his moral nature which made
him more or less wearing to those who knew
him too well.

Politics In Allegiance.

Anamosa Eureka: Some of the
state politicians are trying hard to
stir up a little excitement for the
coming campaign. State politics
usually commence about a year to
eighteen months before election. A
glance at the calendar reveals the
fact that the customary time for
drumming and yelling has arrived.
But 1t is going to be difficult to get
up much enthusiasm about politics,
with this war at full swing. The
people are more concerned about that
war than they are about the offices
or the spoils of Office. This concern
is deep rooted. We heard a rock
ribbed democrat say only recently
that he believed 1t would only be
proper for his party to refuse to NOM
mate a candidate against Governor
Harding OF course. we have no
idea that this broad minded plan will
be followed, for the very jealous
politicians will see to 1t that con-
test is waged but the remark shows
the trend Of the minds of men who
are deeply interested in the world
problem.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
EXAMINED.

He has come back,
And something in his eye
Tells us the story-but we do not cry
Tears are too deep for that thing any more
90 we ask questions, eagerly to know
How fine they found him
Yes with all that glow
OF fine courageous manhood
Life hath bound him,
We knew he'd have to go.
I cannot tell what made me yesterday
Stop for awhile where once he used 10 play
And something quite too funny made me stray
DER the path where in his Aprlllng
AS bows together in sunny field
We romped the meadows golden with the gorse
He will come back, OF course;
Gods love will guard him with it's inner shield
Bit somehow nothing ever seems TO sing
like Yesterday, with boyhood carrolllng!
Examined and accepted!
Nothing more!
And when she came and stood by me last night,
And trembled and stricken, with blind eyes
OF womans weeping, this said aloud
Dearest we should be proud
To give our gift to war;!
But, ah mingled signs
Somehow belied this courage Of my soul!
Yet he is glad to fight;
Yea nobly impatient, the test is through
And there's no more, more
That we can do!

IOWA PREss COMMENT.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
When the president gets time he
should look up another job for George
Creel The press and the people
won't be happy until he gets 1t.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: A Cres-
ton woman has sued for 100000 for
the loss Of her husband. She is
seemingly convinced OF the truth OF
Sid Fosters maxim that in all that
is good Iowa affords the best.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: About the
only important right surrendered by
congress is its ancient prerogative to
stand in the way all the time when
something should be done. BY SER
les of compromises it has been agreed
that congress shall stand in the way
only part of the time. There are
still few members especially train
ed for that work.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Will it be
contrary to medical ethics to say
something now and then about the
members of the profession who have
been enlisted in the United States
service for work in the hospitals in
Belgium and France Will it be con-
sidered unethical to call attention to
the fact that those who stay at home
will take care of the practice Of those
who go to the front?
Cedar Rapids Republican: After
the war is over, as, it will be over
some day, the proudest thing that
you will be able to say is that you
stood by your government through
out the troubles. Let every man SO
conduct himself that he will be able
Stand by your government, talk for
| it and if you are in position to do
so; fight for it.
Sioux City Journal: Now that a
popular magazine has referred to
Your Flag and My Flag" as that
miserable piece of doggerel,'' the
highbrow may consider 1t his cue to
get under cover quickly by remark
ing that he didn't think so very much
| of it as a poem in the first place.
Sioux City Tribune: Here's a new
phase of Stacker" marriages: Both

LET THEM ALONE.

A suffragist picket at the white house dis
Dlayed a banner on which "Kaiser Wilson,
was inscribed until an indignant crowd tore it
out of her hands Senator Nelson probably was
right in saying that this picket squad has done
and is doing more damage to the suffrage
cause than anything else. People who are out
of sympathy with the movement can be well
content to see these women persist IN courses
that bring them odium; and 1t might be
technical mistake for the administration to IN
terfere with them in any way. They are
giving very conclusive demonstration OF
their unfitness for the franchise, and if left
alone will no doubt carry their foolishness so
far as to sicken the country and shelve the
whole question for many years. The English
women having won the suffrage by abandon
ing their agitation and working night and day

think that our unseemly disturbers would realize

trarv course The probability is, however, that

ever. the greatest item in the decrease has been
that Of fiction. In 1890 the per cent OF flc-
ton in the total publication was twenty four

low ten per cent. and by 1916 it was but eight

Quently there was no school excepting
for the boys who wished to stay and
work in the manual training depart
ment. The boys are now working on
a set of miniature farm buildings, in
Guiding barn, silo, house, garage, etc.
The boys are doing excellent manual
training work and show great interest
in this line of work. This new ad-
dition was added to the Bushnell
schools about thirteen months ago by
Mr.. c. l.. Dimmette, who is laboring so
earnestly to get the necessary equip
ment. 1t was necessary for him to
realize the funds by means of plays
and suppers. amounting to nearly
S125.00. He advocated domestic
science and sewing, but have not been
able to realize the necessary funds to
buy the equipment. Also he has given
his high school pupils II lesson a
week in elementary agriculture awak-
ing much interest along this line. Dur
ing last summer Mr.. Dimmette car
ried IN school gardening. which inter-
ested the boys greatly, buying a piano
from the proceeds of part of the plat.
One of the boys won $17.00 in prizes on
his orn raised under his supervision.
The enrolment cards We're passed
around the other day and great en-
thusiasm was manifested; the boys
and girls being more determined and
interested in the work than ever be-
fore. 1t is hoped that the boys will
make many entries and not loose in
terest in the work even though the
principal will not be here during the
summer. The next superintendent of
the school undoubtedly will maintain
and carry out, with added interest,
some of the new additions Mr.. Dim
mette has founded in the school.
A passenger was e chasing the
south bound train out of Bushnell Sum-
day, thinking probably that it could
not make very much Roadway in the
drifts. we were surprised to see
him return shortly. not being able to
catch on.
