Cant Llv. on $4,000 . Year

The somewhat irritating story of the
woman who cannot support herself on
large income hobs up again. Mrs.
Olga Kohler FlOrman of New York has
been drawing $25, 600 annually from the
estate of her father, but she asks an
Increase because she has gone in debt.
She alleged that her husband earned
only 500 week and that she had to
contribute to the support OF an infant
son. The court allowed her bonus
Of $4,000.

What's the use7

II have been rejecting" said an old
timer, upon the case Of the average
man, as his neighbors see him.
If he is poor, he'is bad manager.
If he is prosperous, everyone wants to
do him a favor.
IF he's in politics, It's for pork. II
he is not In politics, one can't place
him, and he's no good for his country,
If he gives not to charity, then he's
a stingy dog. If he does give, It's for
show.
IF he is active In religion, he is q
hypocrite. If he evinces no interest in
matters spiritual, he's a hardened sin
ner.
II he shows affection, he's q soft
sentimentalist. If he seems to care
for no one, he's cold-blooded.
IF he dies young, there was great
future ahead Of him. If he attaint
old age, he has missed his calling"

THE PART OF AMERICANS.

Civilization looks to the United
States to crush m:litarism, the cause
of this world war. Millions Of men
have been killed and wounded in this
terrible holocaust of blood; millions Of
helpless, innocent women and children
suffered untold anguish, multitudes
have died in massacres, of famine, Of
disease.
The sooner the war is over the bet
ter it will be for the world, but 1t takes
money to create and maintain an army
to crush the enemy. Liberty bonds
are the way opened by the government
to provide these funds, and every one
who subscribes is doing his small part,
which taken in the aggregate is tre-
mendous volume, toward bringing
peace to mankind.
Money is even more essential to a
successful military campaign than
numberless soldiers. An army is only
as strong as its commissary depart
ment, Napoleon said, and war is the
Same today as it was when he over
ran Europe. A well organized, we'll
equipped and we'll supplied army is
vastly stronger in the field than a
larger force more poorly cared for. We
have had a practical demonstration of
this truism turnout the present Euro
peau conflict on the Russian front.
Germany's forces, tho inferior in point
Of numbers most of the time TO Rus
sa's. has proven stronger in the
field.
Our young men, the nation over, have
contributed generously to our national
army to make the world safe for dem
ocracy," but our security today rests
not only upon the valor of these brave
men but also upon the measure OF
support given them py Inose VINO stay
at home.
The most effective support you can
possibly give at this time is the pur-
chase of the second issue Of Liberty

they came to the Rabbitville armory.

after that he gave them all rifles and

Wall street Is an important market
hu, II is only one Of our markets. Io
understand what the price movements
sisnisy. IL Is necessary to bring into
the picttec all the markets. and then
TO relate them individually to an I'm.
accustomed and uneconornic factor, the
war To illustrate, the building mar
kct is very important 1t comprises
many materials and commands much
labor. Ordinarily 1t would be neces-
sary to lament its depression and to
sympathize with the leading citizens
who yesterday met and resolved that
it was desirable to stimulate the build
ing Industry. But ita Is necessary to
remember that we are at war and that
sGyscrapers will do nothing to help
win the war. either here or over
there" For the present the depression
in the building industry Is one Of the
best signs of the times. It signifies
that money is being found for win
ming the war in . quarter where it can
be spared.
This city shows this more than the
rest of the country. In a sense this
city is particularly sufferer by the
fact that for the nine months Of this
year $37,000,000 has been put into
buildings, against $11s,000,0o0 last year.
1t Is regrettable, but 1t is not a loss.
There are buildings enough for neces-
sity. and the arrest of construction
puts values into every existing struc-
ture. There is not in the country
enough money or labor to sustain both
the accustomed Industries Of peace and
those of war. 1t is necessary to make
a choice, and the country prospers
more by environments than by sky
scrapers. There Is no question of
prostratlon by the shift in the industry.
In the whole country the expenditures
for CONSTITUTIONAL and engineering
work this year are $1,278, SAC, 900
against S970,250.000 last year.
The railway industry shows a SINH
lar reasurring contrast, with an i'm
portant difference. The security
prices are those OF panic times. To
look at the quotations Of Wall street
alone, anybody would imagine that we
were back In the. old times when rail-
ways went into receivership with
beautiful balance sheets, including
millions of unlawful rebates as assets
and streaks Of rust as rights Of way.
The usefulness OF railways, particular
ly in war time, Is to be looked for in
work. The first question about the
railways is how they are meeting the
demands Of war. That Is world con-
cern. and the answer is reasurring. For
July, the latest month reported, the
railways were 20 per cent more eff
cient than last year. With practical
~ the same equipment and with much
greater costs, they transported thirty
three billion tons of freight against
twenty-seven billion tons last year. It
is world lesson OF efficiency and pat
riotism. and the shareholders are en-
titled to a reward which they are not
getting. But the main thing Is that

THE REER SALOON.

.SS1uuN LAY JpdA
If the official canvass of votes cast
in the prohibition amendment cleo
ton in Iowa shows the vets to have
maintained their unofficial lead. the
chances are that first in subter-
ranean fashion and then very openly
the people Of the state will hear
great deal about the comparative ad-
vantages of that kind Of saloon which
sells Only beer and light wines. There
was an undercurrent of talk along
that line prior to the election OF last
Monday. Many a man who went to
the polls and voted wet" understood
that he was voting for return of
hal. a saloon-of . saloon in which
highly intoxicating liquors would rot
be sold. Use will be made in future
arguments Of the experience OF Ger
many and France, which seems in
favor of allowing general sale OF the
milder beverages. 1t would be foolish
for Iowa "drys' to underestimate the
appeal of saloon campaign conducted
frankly and vigorously along that
line. The recent election has shown
that a very large proportion OF the
total voting strength Of the sta,e
practically half of it, favors some
thing other than bone dry prohibi-
ton. That strength, 1t may well be
assumed, Is ready to settle on the
wet" side Of any issue that is not
30 sloppy as to ALLEVIATE the liquor
fnoderates. What issue is better cal
cula1ed to fill the bill than that of the
beer saloon?
Neither the beer saloon nor any
other kind Of saloon will come speed
lily in Iowa. Probably no kind OF sa-
loon will come at all. Governor Hard
ing has said fairly enough that Iowa
doesn't go in for special sessions Oh
the general assembly. Unless some
thing of far reaching Importance hay
ing to do with the national defense
requires 1t, no body need expect that
the present governor will summon the
assembly. The next regular session
VIII be one, year from next January.
1t will be preceded, of course, by an
election at which. especially If the
amendment has been defeated, tho
wet forces will seek to have an In
nuence. But 1t Is unlikely. even so,
that the next general assembly Will
contain enough members favorable 10
the saloon to repeal the prohfbitory
law. 1t can hardly be doubted that
it will be asked to.
Besides the conviction that a cam
paign for beer saloon would stand
the better chance Of success In Iowa
"a conviction that was blindly resist
ed in the days when 1t would have
done more good - the vets are
bound to be encouraged to adopt that
policy by the federal ban on the manu-
facture OF spirituous liquors during
the period Of the war. That ban may
or may not be made permanent when
peace comes. Mere consideration OF
the possibility is bound to have lis
effect.
AS to the desirability Of the beer
saloon. no doubt 1t would prove less
undesirable than the booze saloon
