NO PEACE IN SIGHT.

1t begins to look as though neither
side sincerely desired to talk about
ending the war. The entente allies
reply to the Presidents peace note
lis understood to be a flat refusal to
enter a peace conference with Ger
many at the present time, and Ger
many's reply is little better.
The war will probably have to 60 on

~ beaten, or more nearly so than eth

Az AlNN
DENT.

| With the lives of millions of mer
at stake 1t does seem as though tht
newspapers of Great Britain ant
many of the newspapers OF the United
States would not misrepresent and
misstate the language used by Pres
dent Wilson in his peace note. They
say that the president placed both
sets of belligerents in the same light
so far as their aims in the conflict are
concerned. President Wilson did no
such thing. Here is his exact Ian
|guage:
The objects which the states.
men of the belligerents of both
sides have in mind In this war
are virtually the same, as stated
in general terms to their own
people and to the world.
President Wilson did not say what
were the actual facts, or what he per-
sonally believed, but he truthfully
stated what the statesmen Of the bel.
ligerents Of both sides were saying in
general terms to their own people and
to the world. II
Each side claims that it is fighting
for It's own preservation and the lib
Grafton of mankind from the yoke of
the other. The President did not at
tempt to pass upon the correctness of
these claims. He simply reminded the
warning nations of the similarity of
their contentious The critics have
gone outside of the language used by
the president to find something upon
which to base their criticisms.

FRONTIER CONDITIONS IN CHI.
CAGO.

Judge Lands has uncovered the
cause for waves of crime" in Chica-
60. Criminals divide their booty with
policemen, crooked court clerks and a
nest of political parasites. Pick
pockets and burglars and automobile
4 thieves are protected by public Off
Gals. Desk sergeants "book" pick
pockets on simple charges of disor-
derby conduct and crooked lawyers
clear 90 per cent. of those improperly
:'booked" criminals.
If the testimony adduced by Judge
y Lands is worthy of belief, conditions
+ in Chicago at the present time are as
Z bad as they were in the frontier towns
and cities of the west forty years ago.
! When public officials enter into part
nership with the criminal class, the
public is warranted in resorting to ex-
IRENE measures. Out west during
pioneer times it was considered quite
the proper thing to form vigilance

and convict when the evidence was
deemed sufficient Such betrayal
OF the public was deemed a capital Of
Tense and scores Of deputy United
States marshals and other public Of
fcers were hung or shot by virtue of
warrants issued by vigilance COM
mittees.
One crooked Chicago lawyer admits
that he has defended fully 10000 pick
pockets and has cleared more than 80
per cent of them by having them
charged with disorderly conduct in
stead Of the true offense for which
they were arrested. In each case the
desk sergeant got $1.00 for his betray-
al of the public. Out in Butte City

their money would burn if there was

ICE GLAZE BENEFITS.

The unthinking are apt to generally
decry an ice glaze like the one which
q now covers a large section of the
country. II must be admitted that the
glaze does some damage and creates
conditions more or less dangerous for
n pedestrians, but such damage and in
convenience are trifling when COM
pared ITO its benefits
Meadows, pastures and winter grain
are Immensely benefited by a winter
covering and present conditions could
not wen be improved upon. The glaze
prevented the snow from drifting and
exposing parts of the fields to the de-
teriorating effects of the frost and
wind It would be a great benefit to
Iowa farmers if present field condi-
tions could continue for the next two
months.
