only an act of craftsmanship against
Germany, but also a monstrous mis-
take. The note of the entente, which
demanded the gagging and the dis
frien1berment Of Germany as we'll as
the complete dissolution of Austria
Hungary, was bound to strengthen
tremendously the war spirit IN all
camps. In the entente countries, 1t
corresponded to the desires of the
rlationalists who preach merciless
war. In Germany, the note gave to
the pan-Americanists and annexa-

their justification.

n Public Utt,itie. Commission.

AZ session of the general assembly
without bill providing for a public
utilities commission would be an odd
ity- Such measure has been of bien-
NAL occurrence since the memory Of
man runneth not to the contrary or
words to that effect. Such a POSSIBLE
ity in the present session was featured
in the campaign last fall. Represent
alive Hansen Of Scott county, is the
guilty party. His bill would turn over
to the railway commissioners all rate
making authority now employed in
cities in hands of cities The railroad
commission also would be authorized
to fix physical valuations of utility
plants, said valuations to stand as
prima facie correct In courts OF law.
The bill further requires that the com
mission would be required to establish
maximum rates within six months
after it became law which shall be as,
sumed to be just and reasonable.
Revision Of the Code.
It seems to be fOregOne conclusion
that some action will be taken to ap
point a committee to revise the Iowa
code Of laws. Bills have been intro
duced in both houses and from the sen
ate a subcommittee consisting of Glib
son of Corning, Thompson of Burling
ton and Eversmeyer Of Muscatine
has been named to work in unison
with a similar committee from the
house. This committee is composed Of
Griffin of Woodbury., Rogers of Car
roll and Epps Of Wapello county

vision of the code. ...
Would Extinguish Office of County
Recorder.
Senator Holdogel OF Rockwell City
has a bill drawn that will put county
recorders out of business. The bill
provides that the work now done by
that official shall be turned over to the
clerk of courts. The bill provides thai
special deputy be given the CLERK
and during the busy season in the
spring and fall extra clerks may be Sc
cured. The claim is that great say
ing will result. The bill provides tina,
the law shall not go into effect unit
Jan. /, 1919, in order that all Of the
offices may get the benefit OF theil
full terms. -.

the lady clerk of the committee be ex-

ed his opinion in the use Of state
agents in law enforcement. Klaus of
Delaware, Giltner of Monroe, Meier
rem Of Hamilton and Roberts of Ring
gold supported the proposition in a
forcible way. They declared that law
enforcement was prominent issue in
the late campaign in Iowa and that
both party platforms declared for lay
enforcement. State agents are neces-
sary to carry out the implicit demands
made by the people at the polls. The
bill makes provision for the drafting
of all peace officers or any of them in
helping to carry out the purposes of
the measure. It is expected that a
vigorous fight will be staged on the
floor Of the house when the bill is

WHAT OF THE STRIFE?

Out of the wreck and horror of war,
Out of the fields of wounded and slain.
Out of the hate and bitterness come :
Order and peace again.
As thunder storm in summer time
The earth revives with drenching rain,
SO war destroys the nations sloth,
Purging with blood and pain.
Greener the grass were battles are
fought,
Brighter the peace when the war is
done;
If progress marches with firmer tread,

II reason conquers armed might
II racial hate is cooled by strife,
What of the foes and fight?

EXPRESSES REGRET


Editor Vashon Island Record:
A bit Of news drifted my way the
other day which didu't exactly please
me, namely, What a pity that Mrs.
Morton is going to leave our school"
OF course had heard that most of the
teachers were leaving; but some way
II did not grasp the fact that Mrs.
Morton was among them
Has anyone looked into this matter,
as to the reason why Mrs. Morton has
decided to leave Us? If, as suspect,
the cause is due to oyerwork the past
year, isn't it possible for patrons to
petition the school board to endeavor
TO persuade Mrs. Morton to stay with
us by employing an extra teacher, and
thereby tighten the labors OF the high
school force?
Surely this is matter OF the utmost
Importance to all interested in the
yashon school: a matter really worth
while, as we can judge by the splendid
work done by the children since Mrs
Morton has had them in charge,

matter and recognize the authority of

people wish the teachers retained, we
do not think they would allow ten dol

chance. Mrs. Morton would not like

There may be spineless newspapers,

one admires the species because you
never know where to find 'em. This
train of thought was suggested when a
good friend Of The Record phoned the
editor a few days ago to admonish him
to use the soft pedal in the ferry case;
that his attitude meant loss of sub
scribers. OF course this good friend
had jumped at the conclusion that The
Record was working solely for a north

The Record has been criticised for
remaining silent during the present
school turmoil, while giving attention
to and expressing an opinion in the
ferry controversy. According TO the
critics the editor of this paper has not
been able to difierentiate between the
'relative value" OF the ferry subject
and the question Of retaining high
school principal, Granted that this is
an important matter, yet il is strictly
local affair in the hands of school
board, while the ferry question affects
every resident OF the Islands. The
