LET'S FACE the FACTS

With the prospect Of war come the
making and suggestion of many plans
whereby an army may be raised with
out disturbing family relations and
creating conditions similar to those OF
which wide spread complaint vas
made when the national guard was or
dered to the border. One suggestion
is for a corps Of lecturers. another for
a general school of soldiery that shall
| gradually absorb the military capital
of the country and make the nation
an armed camp The tendency is to
avoid discomfort" and separation of
family ties etc.
Words. mere words. The froth on
the current that sets toward a war.
War is the name of discomfort"
and suffering. 1t is the great breaker
Of family ties" 1t is emergency, disas-
ter. calamity any word that carries a
sense of adversely. That other mis-
fortunes may be worse does not
change the character of war.
II We are to nav war ii is time
that we faced it honestly and fairly as
il is and not rs we should like 1t to be.
If an army of a million is to be raised
in this country and at once there is
but one certain and rapid way to do It
by consumption. And CONSUMPTION
means the breaking of family ties. ii
means sufferings Of dependents UNI
less the states and the nation care for
hospitals Of pain and all that goes
with war. There is nothing to be
gained by evasion and refusal to count
the cost fairly.
We havef ought long wars that
strained of men and treas
ure, fought successfully and without
thought of surrender. If we nus VIC
shall do ii over again in the same de-
termincd way and win as before. But
We Shall not win without scars.
Let's meet whatever is before US
fairly and without flinching or evasion.
There i neither occasion nor reason
in attempts to cozen ourselves that
war may be waged without blood and
tears. If need be we shall shed both
bravely and s%orrowfully but without
lack Of determination to go on to the
end.

Without any doubt prejudice will still
maintain a pale of social restraint.
Legal enactments do not abolish preju-
dice or change ancient hatreds into
welcome in a day or a year. But he is
a citizen, Opportunity is his. Protec-
ton Of the laws surrounds him where
once the law refused him shelter. And
time will do the rest.

TURN ABOUT FAIR pLAY
IDes Moines Register

'~N' 's'sN AssrN f'NNts
Senator Thompson. h stands very
close to Judge Salingcr. and is assumed
by many to speak for the Judge in the
senate. has introduced a bill reported
for indefinite postponement that au-
thorizes court injunction against news
papers saying anything derosatory Of
the men who are at the head Of affairs.
That. Of course, is not the a word
ing Of the proposed law, but the bill Is
adroitly drawn to use legal language
to precisely that effect.
Viewing the matter from It's W
experience. the Register Is bound to
insist that IL such a bill is to be urged
It should present the propo-
sition, and permit newspapers to secure
injunctions against candidates for
office who travel the state traducing
and besmirshing them.
We submit it to an impartial public
that 1t Is plainly more important that
the good name Of the newspapers be
kept free from malicious comment than
the fair names of candidates for office,
IL for no other reason thai h q new
candidates for Office are constantly
| %springing up and no permanent. dam
age liz done II n or two or q dozen
are unfairly commented on, while OF
newspapers we have O. constant mum
Der, and every time one Of them is be-
smirched q permanent injury is done
to the state.
But referring seriously to q bill so
capable of mischief IL it should be
considered by the Lawmakers. what
could be more dangerous than to put
1t in the hands Of men in power, to
iarass with constant inJunctions the
newspapers that dare speak out in
condemnation Of their methods or in
exposure Of their deeds?
In Russia where they have had
ample experience with a muzzled press
what IL the first plank OF the new
platform? Is II not a free press?
Occasionally the newspapers treat
public men unjustly. But In ninety
nine cases out OF one hundred they do
not tell the public all 1t ought to know,
Senator Thompson and those he
speaks for should be reassured. No
man who deserves the respect OF the
people OF Iowa has aver lost 1t thru
malicious Misrepresentation OF the
newspapers.

HOW IOWA HELPS CRIPPLES.
Iyraer Star-CiiDper.


TO our mind one Of the most praise
worthy laws ever enacted by the state
Of Iowa was that passed two years ago
affCrding treatment at the expense OF
the state Of all children under 10 years
Of age who suffer from some deforTnity
or malady that surgical skin can cor.
rect, and whose parents are not able to
pay for the treatment. This service is
supplied in the state university, owned
! Dy the state, and the expense is cOfn-
parativeIy light. II is interesting to
know that in eighteen months nearly
900 children have been treated and
scores Of lives have been saved or radl-
cal physical deformities corrected. the
blind have been made to see, the Grip
| pied TO walk. Traer has had the bene-
! fit Of the service. The Maahs boy
would have been blind today but for 1t.
The children are not only treated but
| are educated, a school being provided.
A bill IL pending in the legislature to
provide a special building for these un-
fortunate poor. 1t should pass, put III
any event the service must be kept up.
What are a few cents in extra taxes to
each citizen when hundreds OF lives are
being saved or bodily deformlties cor
rected and the sufferers made healthy
and happy citizens who could hope iol
no relief in these days OF expensive
surgery? y
