remain capable of sustaining itself
without undue economy.
Industry is anxiously awaiting
the decision of our national legislat-
ors as to the tax to be imposed upon

Judgment of the country will be

shall be imposed
IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
And, of course" says the Water
loo Times-Tribune, "the county at
torneys are expected to use their
judgment"
"Simply because the legislature
failed to do its duty is no reason
why Attorney General Havner
should make goat of himself in
trying to enforce lot of discarded,
useless and nonsensical laws" de-
clares the Perry Chief. I'm these
trying times Iowa people have plenty
to do without starting a ruction
among themselves"
while we take, our garden seri-
onsly, the hens seem to think that
it was planted as a memorial to that
departed and lamented institution of
Iowa's earlier days, the free LUNCH"
says the Davenport Democrat.
Perry C. Holdoegel achieved an
enviable reputation during the re-
cent session of the Iowa Legislature"
asserts the Thompson Courier "Hol-
doegel is of the coming men of
Iowa."

of Iowa and the skill of the Iowa
farmer may be relied upon in the
present emergency to produce a
bumper crop of everything" accord
ing to the Alton Democrat.
'In Sweden observes the Water
loo Courier, "you must have a pass
book in order to get alcoholic bev-
erages. In Iowa all that is necessary
is password"
''Well, Polk county and Iowa coun-
ty got their feet wet Sunday and
the waters of enforcement are still
said to be rising" remarks the Mar
shalltown Times Republican. "How-
ever, the chances are that it will
turn out freshet instead Of a
flood"
''The most reasonable excuse Gov.
Harding could offer for vetoing the
judiciary repeal was
the possibility of it's being unconsti-
tutional," says the Cherokee Times.
Possibly the next general assembly
can find better solution, but any
thing would be an improvement over
the present system"
The Cedar Rapids Gazette sug-|
gests that the farmer keep the pitch

PLEA FOR
PREPAREDNESS
New Governor Of California Urges
People to Start System Of
Military Training for
States Protection.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
SACRAMENTO, Calf, March 23.-
plea for preparedness and for
legislation that will enable the state
of California to give military train
ing to her citizens who wish to fit
themselves for active service in the
event of war, was voiced today by
Governor VIM. D. Stephens in his
over the reins of government. His
message was read personally before
joint session OF the assembly and
senate.
After quoting from an official docu-
ment of the war department in which
attention is called to the fact that
1t would be difficult IL not impossible
to transport promptly large bodies of
troops into California In face OF oppo-
sition at the mountain passes and
that the harbor defenses along the
Pacific coast are Of little use unless
supported by a reasonably strong mo-
bile force, the governor says:
with these conditions confronting
us, 1t is clearly manifest that should
war ensue we must be prepared not
Ouly " just SLATE 10
the protection Of the whole nation,
but we must, from our own resources,
stoutly defend our borders against
invasion. AS Americans we shall
suffer no hostile step upon our soil.
'In this hour of peril our chief
reliance is upon the national govern.
ment to whose call California will
respond loyali:' and promptly.
Under the national law, all able
bodied citizens of military age are
subject to call by the president. It
is only fair, therefore, that the state
should provide. in anticipation OF hos
tilities, such training as will prepare
men for the hardshps of soldiers
life. l deem it our duty to make
provision SO that at least such of our
patriotic citizens as are willing to de-
vote time to training in camp life
shall be afforded the opportunity.
Impending events may make it
necessary to provide an appropriation
to meet emergencies. Information
now being sought may enable me to
submit specific recommendation in
the near future. With no desire to
unduly alarm, we must recognize the
gravity of the situation and be pre-
pared for prompt and vigorous action"

Daily Stock Letter.


TJnited Press Leased Wire Serv1cel
NEW YORK, March 23.-The New
York Evening Sun finacial review to-
day said:
Little interest was manifested in to-
davis stock market Trading was
ouieter than in any previous session
this week. Price changes with few
exceptions were narrow. The reason
for this subdued state Of affairs Is not
far to seek and may be attributed in
the main to the sobriety imposed by
the first stage Of war preparations. 1t
ia the calm before the storm. In the
case of the stock market, the period
of calm is likely to last until the
special session Of congress meets
April 2 It is pretty generally agreed
that Wall street will mark time until
then. The financial district is the
nrey of all sorts of rumors. Today 1t

hour there was a general upward
movement throughout the entire list

the railway shares which advanced
from two to three points. This move
ment had the appearance of a drive
against the short interest based on
the application OF the railways for an
increase of from 10 to Is per cent IN

The Gamers by Prohibition.

c. B. Blethen, in Golfers: There
was not a grocery store In Seattle
that did not show an increase Of
business in January greater than
ever known in any month before in
all the history of the city except in
holiday time. In all the large gro
Gerry stores the increase was i'm
mense. TO me it is pitiful
thing-and it makes me sorry that
we did not have prohibition long ago
that the increase in sales in all
the dry-goods stores was in wearing
apparel of women and children, and
in the grocery stores the increase
was made up chiefly of fruits. pack
age stuff, and fancy groceries. This
proves that 1t is the women and chill
dren who suffer most from the liquor
business, and 1t is the women and
children who benefit most from pro-
hibition. Money that formerly went
over the bar Is now being spent for
clothing for the women and children
and in better food for the household.
