civilization. 1t also had an ermine-
clad king and tall, imposing public
debt which did not annoy any body but

OF the war ROumania made money

Roumanian army began to retreat to-

A GOOD RADIANCE.

The senate followed the lead of the
house. repealed the nonpartisan jul
dietary law and placed the circle back
On the ballot Perhaps il would have
done better TO leave the circle off. but
did an excellent job when it repealed
the Salinger law. The bunch behind
the nonpartisan law have now but one
hope-that the governor will veto the
repeal. 1t IS not likely that he will do
that. Ii the beginning he put the bur-
den of all legislation upon this assem-
bly, and took over the responsibility Of
enforcement by the announcement that
this legislature must clean house and
that all laws left on the books would
be enforced by the executive. AS the
nonpartisan repeal is part Of the de-
manded house cleaning it is logical to
expect tie governor to let it 90 as
il lays"
1t was time 10 discard that law. It

to the bench Of the supreme court Of

ring out candidates, who in a represen-

same chance that a bird Of paradise

jurists OF sensibility and preeminent
attainment and worth to forego candi-
dacies for supreme judgeships or get

there for their places. Theoretically it

there was a school of pretty goldfish,
not q study school. you know, but just
q family OF goldfish.
There were little coral castles for
them to swim in and out OF, and messy
caves for them to rest in, and they look
ed very happy. for goldfish are very
rich. SO the little rabbit squatted down
on tho edge Of the fountain to watch
them run races in the water, and he
was having lots Of fun. when. all Of a
sudden, something pushed him right
into the water. Wasn't that a mean
thing to do? OF course he got his eyes
and nose and ears full OF water. and his
fur coat all wet. and the apple pie in
his knapsack was all spoilt before he
could hop out.
But when he looked around he
couldn't see anybody or anything. Then
an old goldfish told him that Old Moth

flown away laughing to herself.

The awful enemies Of life in great

Capital when Il says:
1.-THE moving picture shows in city
like Des Moines ought to be permitted
to run on the Sabbath day. Thousands
Of our people attend the movies on the
Sabbath afternoon or night, feeling
they have committed 80 sin. They can
not take automobile rides and they
must have some recreation. We do not
believe the closing Of the picture
shows would materially increase the
attendance at church."
The Express always feels like saying
'Pisii. Tush!" when It reads argu-
nents that tend to show that the PEG.
pie OF the cities must have this, that
and the other. The picture show on
Sunday Is case in point. II It can be
shown that Des Moines needs It badly.
why not Knoxville, Abba, Indianoia,
and all the county seat towns? Has the
Iaborer in these towns more to arnuse
him than in Des Moines? Has he more
leisure in Dies Moines that must be
amused? Maybe picture shows should
