FOR WHOM DID HElMIRG speak,

1t is to be hoped that Representa-
tive Helming. Of Allamakee county,
has misjudged the feelings Of his Ger
man-American constituency. He GER
tainly misrepresenled the Iowa citizen
Of Teuton ancestry when he refused
10 support resolution which aimed
to give expression Of Iowa's loyalty
to its national government. There are
evidences enough of fine loyalty upon
the part Of German American societies
TO indicate that Helming was not
speaking for all Of his blood and it
is hoped that he is of a minority
among his class.
States government has not been neu-
trail IN the European war, that the
present attitude Of our government is
an effort to help England and that the
United States has been without honor
to uphold, owing to President Wilson'S
policies.
Against Helrning Count Won Bern
storff, official diplomatic representa-
tive Of the German government, said:
The people Of Berlin knew what was
bound to happen if they took the ac-
ton they have taken. There was moth
| ing else left for the United States to
| do
Since then the legal and diplomatic
| representatives of almost every civil
lied nation in the world have spoken.
| Not one has failed to condemn the
! German policy as violation OF inter-
national law and an attack upon the
| rights of neutrals. In the whole Off
| cial world there is common consent
| that Germany has proposed to max.
herself an outlaw among nations be-
| cause she believes that 1t is necessary
| for her own success in war at this
time. Count Won Bernstorff admits that
there was nothing else left for the
United States to do"
When the government Of a nation
has taken the only step that there wal
i left to take in an international crisis

ARE STATE AGENTS "cRookEo"7

When the bill to provide a fund OF
SOS, 900 for the employment of state
agents for law enforcement came up
yesterday it met with furious opposi-
ton from Representatives klinker OF
Crawford, and Starzinger, Of Polk.
However the bill went thru the house
committee though it is reported TO
have taken ali the influence of the
governor TO force it by.
Given the right kind of men for state
agents the bill is good one. With
the wrong sort of men for state agents
the $4,000 a year is money wasted
The efficiency of the state agent is the
nub OF the whole question. If men of
character and ability are employed
we'll and good. If grafters and inn
moral men are TO gain appointments,
men with hands behind their backs
and underworld friends to please, the
money would be worse than wasted.
some very startling charges as to the
conduct of at least one state agent.
After demanding that the woman
committee clerks leave the room he
charged that one of the state agents
had been caught in an immoral Of
Tense, precisely the offense that the
attorney generals office is trying to
clean up by raiding immoral rooming
houses and hotels. Mr.. Starzinger also
made some sweeping charges against
ohe state agent as crooks and
trainers up"
Representative Starzinger having
made a plain statement as TO a par
ticular state agent should be ready to
disclose the name Of the man he
charges with guilt. The attorney gen
eral can not let the statement pass
without investigation and the dis
barge OF this man If ne is guilty as
stated by Mr.. Starzinger. To drop the
matter after such plain statement by
a member of the legislature would give
the appearance of CLOSING over the
offense and bring a great many per-
sons to the Starzinger viewpoint. VINO
is the man accused thus by Repre-
sentative Starzinger is he guilty or
sIandered and what shall be done with
him?
The representative should be asked
TO make good his charges of graft
against state agents or confess their
He seems TO have started
something that the attorney generals
office and the executive office can not
afford TO ignore. He is either telling
the truth or lying. The people want
to know which.
The attorney general can not do bet
ter than 10 scan the record Of all APP
pointees 10 the position of state agent.
If they are men with bad records on
the temperance question, former en-
ployes and circulators Of saloon petit
tons men whose moral repute has
beer blown upon. the law enforcing
people of the state will not desire ap-
preparations TO pay them salaries and
expense accounts. The department Of
justice can not afford to be careless in
any respect in the matter of state
agents for the misdeeds of state agents
if such misdeeds are and become
known, will be laid at its door and with
reason.

Wednesday night one met two young
men on the street in Council Bluffs.
One was in the service uniform of the
United States army. Just home from
the border: the other was in blue
muster uniform Of sailor off the
cruiser Buffalo, home on leave from
the Pacific station. A year ago both
were kids about Council Bluffs-hat
chested, skinny. hockbottie- shouldered
youngsters. Now. they are a pair any
body would be proud to know. Yet
there are folks who object to military
training. Get the point?

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

e. NJ
"Ther ought to be bright prospec,
for the adoption of the annuity bill
pending by the present Iowa assem-
bly," says the Sioux City Jouranl 1.-The
plan calls for contributions from the
teachers, but they are to be paid
into the fund only by teachers who
actually become its beneficiaries. At
the last session bill calling for con-
trlbutions on a more general scale
came within two votes of passing the
house. tho opposed by many of the
younger teachers who did not expec.
to remain permanently in the profess
SION. The pending measure has the
solid support of the teachers and the
virtually unanimous approval of public
economy experts,
1t takes a long time to turn an
American boy into perfect soldier,
but he is some soldier after than

Tribune.
How the women of Dubuque voted
in large numbers at the school cleo
ton and the courtesies shown by the
male voters should be made known to
the members of the Iowa legislature
TO remove whatever prejudice there is
held against women voting" says the
Dubuque Times Journal.
The Cherokee Times says the alleged
big deficit in the state treasury is
largely a fictitious one, more mag
mary than real no more than the
n nT n, hi oh LII Ja1a
The Times comedies that it would be
comfortable and perhaps more bust
nessiike, to carry a liberal cash bal
ance. but it points out that the present
plan aids materially in keeping down
state expenses with a cash balance
of $l.000.000 or $1,500.o00 in the treas
ury," the Times continues, there
would be decided loosening of the
purse strings. and many an appropri-
alton bill that is now defeated would
successfully run the gauntlet. With the
treasury in a condition that requires
close figuring to make both ends meet,
there is tendency all along the line
TO watch expenditures.
Just why rhe state should not pre-
serve its lakes says the Burlington
Hawkeye, and why the draining Of

STATE FINANCES.
TJeffarSon Pee

The disclosures made simply indicate
that state administrations have been
trying to get along with rate of levy
which will not pay the bills which the
legislatures incur. In no year has tho
shortage been great, but we are now
getting the cumulative effects OF sew
eral years shortage all punched to-
gether. The state levy is a concrete
item Of to mills which can easily be
seen and pointed 10. ee::ysr succeeding
administration likes TO get a reputation
for economy, and to prove their econ
oIny by pointing to a state levy lower
than the last one. In these days OF
rapidly advancing prices for every
thing this scheme Will not work, as
now clearly appears
The effect of the shouting over the
shortage. and the appointment of in
vestigating committees in the legisla-
ture to see how It happened. is to give
the public an idea there is graft or
crookedness somewhere. 1t Is ten times
as easy TO get such an idea into the
public mind as it is to get 1t out. The
Bee does not believe that Iowa is ex-
trayagantly governed. We believe
that il we were to be compared with
other states Of like character 1t would
be found we are economically governed
in state affairs. OF course, under
microscopic examination there can be
found some petty graft, some useless
expenditure. and some overdone cases
Of administration It would be mirac-
ulous IL this were not 30. But when
the sum Of all these discoveries Ii made
up It will not all amount to drop In
the bucket, and the chances are thai
the actual saving which could be eff
fected will not equal the cost OF an
elaborate inyestig alton.
Iowa is great state and progress
stve one. Her people do not sit back
and let any sister state pass ner on
the road If they can help II. She wants
good things including good state gov
eminent, and the fair minded MAI
knows that the cost Of all these things
Is increasing and that money must o.

thousands OF dollars can be saved hert
and there, but It would be q great dea
better taste to do Il with less noise

galleries. And in the meantime let i
not be forgotten that Iowa must eitnel
take the position Of . gutter or eise
be willing TO pay the price OF keepint
