CIRCULATING IT.

So dear is the tradition of honeymoon exclu-
siveness that no one complains, even while the
poor are hungry, at the sentimental extrava-
gance of the young American who, when he
found steamer accommodations from New York
City to the Indies crowded, bought up the
whole stateroom deck of the next ship and
sailed away from the metropolis with his bride
as in a private yacht.
Another precious instance of American
smartness was seen In the case of the young
man who after making bullseye in Wall
street, chartered special train south in order
to avoid the inconvenience Of an upper berth.
Surely none will disapprove of these pic
turesque spectacles. Wealthy youth will be
served And if more prodigal honeymooners
chartered ships, and more Wall street cut-ups
blew money on special trains, many less for
tunate young people might be able to afford
marriage and southern vacations On with the
prosperity!

Kenyon in Bad Company.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Senator
Kenyon has come the nearest to an
established alibi, so far as that fill
buster is concerned. As we intimated
In the first instance, he seems to
have offended most by being caught
in bad company. Senator Kenyon Is
too good a man to be caught out
with ,sheep-ki1ling dogs. Vardaman
is vulgar and vituperative; Clapp a
wooden joss; La Toilette, with vari-
GUS brain Affections; Works, washed
white In Point Iona theosophy. and
Stone, lodging, spying fellow who
has earned 10 higher title than Gum
Shoe Bill" Senator Kenyon ought
rot to associate or act habitually
with such gang, all odd numbers
or blanks. They are not the men
who represent the dignity of THO
country in the senate-the senators
worth while were all with the presi
dent, that Is for their own country.
And that is where Senator Kenyon
belongs We have not found In the
records any evidence that he sought
to obstruct voting by the majority,
but in voting his own views he found
himself in one OF the most disgrace
full filibusters in our history.

NEGLECT1NG A PRESENT HELP.

It is human nature to look for help in time
of trouble to some outside source of unusual
sort and of supposed unusual efficiency; it is
also common experience of HUMANS to find,
after the trouble has been met and remedied,
that the most efficient aid was close at hand
and from perfectly patent agency, neglected
principally because it was close that it was
overlooked. Because this is a fact, circular
issued by DR.. Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education, in which he urges the en-
ployment of teachers of gardening and the Civ
ing of practical instruction in this subject
throughout the land. is we'll worth careful con-
sideration. Here are some of the facts that DR.
Claxton marshals to support his recommended
tion There about six million children in
this country between the ages of six and six
teen years. Something like ninety per cent. of
these children are idle four months year and
even when occupied in school, have abundant
leisure time for some outdoor work Four mil
lion of these children have access to ground
spaces adjacent to their homes whereon small
gardens can be successfully planted, and vege-
tables and fruits grown. There are opportuni-
ties In plenty, too, for raising chickens and
pigeons. Based on figures available from the
results where school garden work has been
made a real business under teachers super
vision, the agricultural bureau experts estimate
that a countrywide adoption of similar meth
DDS would result in a production of vegetables
and fruits of a value of seven hundred and ff-
ty million dollars. DR.. Claxton estimates that
the expense of hiring competent teachers and
of providing seeds and tool equipment for in
struction purposes would amount to less than
three per cent. of this sum.
There is an educational value concerned
here which may well, in the ultimate result, be
greater in the country than the promised aid to
our food shortage of the moment, but with this
appeal to foresight it is not necessary to deal in

nave few friends that like to meet
To walk with them along the river path,
Where the grass is by the students feet;
Or when the air in summer sweetness hath
Thrown wantonly bodies in the flood,
Swim thoughtlessly do some daring feat,
Till fresh the brain is and more cool the blood;
With few friends these pleasures repeat.
But when ! yearn for love and tenderness
When l would speak my thoughts that secret are.

A Cruel Blow.

yiereck's Weekly: The friends OF
Germany lie on no bed of roses, and
not all the thorns are planted there
by the allies. If the German govern.
ment allies itself with our foes. then,
no matter how deep our at achment
to the German people may be, no
matter how earnestly we may be con-
WINGED of the fundamental justice Of
the German cause on the original
issue, we have come to the parting
OF the ways. We are Americans be-
fore we are pro-Germans. .
When Germany, even tentatively, pro-
poses an alliance against the United
States to Mexico, she deals a cruel
blow to Americans Of German de-
scent.

Iowa Bound to Prohibition.

Iowa Bound to Prohibition.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
A number of persons have the idea
that should the vets win at the cleo
ton to be held in Iowa on October 15.
to decide whether prohibition shall be
written into the constitution OF the
state, the state will go wet again.
This is far from fact. No matter
how the vote goes on the constitu-
tional amendment question. Iowa will
still have statutory prohibition as 1t
has had during the last year.
If the state votes to put prohibit
ton into the state constitution In Oc-
tober, the vets Of the state will re-
Eceive the hardest jolt yet and one
from which they may never recover.
For IL prohibition becomes part OF
the constitution, six years must
elapse before the matter can be acted
upon again.
II the state fails to vote to put
prohibition in the constitution the
state will remain dry as the statu-
tory act will still be in force. How
ever, any session OF the legislature
could knock out prohibition il the
VETS were in the majority, unless 1t
is really a part of the state consti-
tuition.
II the prohibitory amendment wins
at the polls in October It is unlikely
that Iowa will ever be back in the
wet column. With the prohibition
wave that is sweeping the country,
in which some 1900 out OF $500
counties are dry, either by local op-
ton, constitutional amendment or a
general vote, national prohibition Is
in sight and the chances are that it
will be here before the vets could
get their machinery going strong
enough to knock out the constitu-
tionaI amendment.
Even though the amendment loses
at the polls. there seems to be little
chance that prohibition is in danger
The Iowa legislature is dry. the ma
jority Of the legislators being farm
ers, and the farmers have shown
their enmity to the liquor traffic.
The wet agitation has come mostly
from the river towns. The interior
Of Iowa, especially in the smaller
towns, is said to be almost bone dry
1t has been said that Iowa has
been a failure as prohibition state.
It is true that during the first year
prohibition was not very effective in

urging the importance Of turning schoolgirl
drens' attention to garden work and its bearing
on providing living for themselves and for
the nation We are not driven to this use OF all
available land and labor, as is England, just at
this time, but we may be soon, and idle land,
with neglected opportunity for adding to the
useful knowledge, good health and real happi-
ness of our children, is stigma on our good
sense.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux CITY journal: One nice thing
about a school election Is that you can
vote without registering. Another
nice thing is that you can take your
wife along in the car and let her vote
on the tag question IL she is inclined
to exercise her right Of suffrage so far
as it goes.
Cedar Rapids Republican: We are
told that Mr.. Havner says that we may
fish on Sunday-very kind OF him. We
ought all to ask him what We may or
may not do. We are all mere children.

cannot blame Gerard for laundering

he had been associating with thinner

But they know how to serve mud tur-

Sac Sun: Evidently 1t will be i'm

partisan Judiciary law by action Of the
present legislature. The effective loo
bying OF the two sons of Judge Sailing
er and the influence OF the governor
were sufficient to defeat Senator Hell
mer's bill for that purpose
Iowa City Republican: The booze
situation is intense. To booze or not
TO booze is no longer the question. but
how to get the booze is the great prob
lem. The attorney general says that
under the new conditions the only
legal way to get booze is to go TO the
express Office and sign up. If the
booze is fntrusted to delivery, the po-
lice may get 1t on the way. What a
chance for the police or those who may
impersonate them. Some may deem
it matter Of foresight to drink the
booze at the express Office, but in that
case the police may get the booze and
