HARDING VETOES A BILL.
Council Rluffs Noupa-eil.1

Governor Harding has cooked up
several technical reasons, or excuses,
! Tor Vetoing the repeal of the non
! partisan judiciary law None OF these
are of even reasonable validity.
For illustration. ii is asserted that
the principle of the non partisan ju-
dietary law is right. This is true. But
the law which the Legislature repealed
does not make this principle operative
| in the sense desired by those who
| favor real nom partisan judiciary.
The peTnicious and dangerous fea-
ture OF the present law lies in the
fact that under its provisions the vot-
ers DO not give the attention TO the
! selection Of supreme judges s.h!2!: the
Importance of these places warrants.
In the 1914 election the average num-
Der of votes for supreme court judges
was 10000. There was cast in tina;
| election for the three leading canGi-
dates for governor 1881 votes Not
TO exceed one man out o. three who
cast ballot in that election voted for
Judges OF the supreme court
When voters are for any rea son neg
ligent the door is opened wide for the
demagogue and the charlatan TO come
in and work their schemes OF deception
and fraud. THIS is the one big OBJ
lection to the present non partisan
law. It is the one big danger involved
in the law and Il liz the stone wall rea
son why its repeal should have been
validated by the governor
Governor Harding knows how this
law has been abused. He knows the
possibilities for evil which il contains
he knows that the old law which It
repealed is a much safer and better
law than the one which bis veto re-
tains on the statute books.
Harding's attitude on this issue is
made clear by his statement that the
Legislature In fact passed on this
| measure when II refused to accept the
Helmer bin directly repeating this law.
Now he contends that because the
legislature refused TO repeal in the frs.
instance il was legally estopped from
reconssdering the same subject during
the same session.
WHAT happened in the interim be
! tween the defeat OF the Helmer re-
peal bill and the acceptance Of a re-
peal amendment 10 the kimball pri-
mary measure?
There came in this interim the Ho-
doegei revelations concerning the stat
us Of the work in the supreme court.
| The hand of the kitchen cabinet was
| revealed and a lot of pestiferous lob
Dyists were driven out Of the capitol
building.
Now Governor Harding says In eff
iect when he vetoes this repeal meas.
ure that when the legislature Was
working under the direction Of the
kitchen cabinet it's conclusions were
good. But when the legislators arose
in righteous indignation and drove the
lobbyists from the capitol and re-
pealed the laws which, for purely un-
molly and selfish purposes they sought
to defend. then the government inter-
poses and takes the side Of the kitchen
cabinet against that Of the legislature
and the people

i regret to say that | think before
this war Is over we shall have lost
millions of men, just as England ana
France have."---Mr. Taft.
This is not the time to indulge in
needless alarms, and the Register can
not but believe that Mr.. Taft spoke
carelessly when he said millions
To lose millions the United States
must have had at least two years OF
active participation in the hardest part
of the fighting. If we stop to consider
that it will be a year before we SHAH
1t Will be seen that TO lose millions"
the war must last three or four years
at its present intensity. Nobody be-
lieves that possible.
Moreover. how are millions of men
to be moved from this side TO the
other side within any reasonable length
OF time? 1t would require till long
after this war is likely TO be ended 10
build the ships TO carry millions.
There is much more reason to believe
that the war will end with but little
direct participation on the part of the
American army than that the Ameir-
can army will have two years of such
lighting as France had In fact the
most unlikely thing is that we shall be
able to get large army into Europe
at all. The military experts are all
recognizing that il is out of the 'ques-
ton TO carry on land war across the
seas. nndern modern conditions.
The Register does not doubt that we
shall have large part in the war,
but it will not be i'll the way of land
lighting. We shall not lose millions

bile bill that provided for the eIi.nina-
ton Of binding headlights on ANTONIO

by those who are familiar with the
tactics OF some OF our legislators in
the past when bills Objectionable to
them were brought out. Instead OF
being due TO a blunder by the senate
the killing off Of the automobile head

CANADA'S TOLL OF WAR.

While the paciliStS and conscientious
DIRECTORS are whining over the horrors
of war and hiding behind false and
destructive so-called philosophy we call
attention to our neighbor on the north.
The population of the Dominion Of
Canada is about 100000. but from
this have gone $4,000 men. A con-
sentative estimate of the casualties OF
the Canadians reaches 100000 or more
men than there were in the entire
United States army few months
back. Two months after the war
started. Canada sent to England as it's
first contingent a division of $4,000
men. all volunteers Only 20 men of
one battalion are alive today. An en-
tire regiment was wiped out in the
first attack at the battle of Yprcs
All this army. it should be rclncm-
bercd, is entirely volunteer. Now the
time has come for CONSUMPTION because

athletic and refuse to do their share.
II Canada has been able to do all this
and still retains her morale and cour-
age. what must be expected of the
United States with its population Of
lO3.0O0.00o" To match Canada, this
country should have 1000 men on the
way to France In six weeks and in
100000 men. Canada's fight is our
fight from now on and If VIC win We
must meet our sister democracy in
her splendid record of cndeavor.

How Loyal Is Butte?

once again soldiers are kecpin <
guard in Butte, OF course, all good
citizens share the feeling Of humilia-
ton that is incident to this experience.
But back Of that is a deep and intense
regret-it comes from realization Of
the fact that prevailing conditions
made the presence of the guardsmcn
imperative. Yesterday the community
needed their help. to maintain order, TO
protect life and property and to uphold
the authority of the government of the
United States.
It.is Il shameful thing that this city
should be the victim of an attempt at
foul and cowardly betrayal. In all that
relates to the war. to personal service
in the field. to sclf-denial. or to the
support of the federal government, the
people of Butte, in overwhelming
number, are patriotic in the full meas
ure of the meaning of that glorious
word. No doubt the recent traitorous
outbreak will intensity the commune
tvs sentiment OF stcadfast loyalty to
the flag and to the republic whose
symbol that flag is.-Butte Post.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MORALE.

AS every boy who reads history
knows, numbers do not always win.
handful of Spartans was enough to
conquer a horde of their enemies. In
more recent years we have seen the
defeat Of Russia by Japan.
| 1t is easy to talk of the great re-
sources of the United States, Of it's tre-
mcndous wealth and population, but it
be done by an enemy far weaker in all
| the material things that make for war.
Captain Henry ]. Reilly, a most in
teresting and well informed writer on
war topics, explains it. Morale. he
says. has always been a strong factor
in victorious warfare. Japan's defeat
of Russia was due to the great su-
periority of the morale of the Japan
csc army. navy and people. What is
morale? The foundation for it first is
justice. The fighting men at the front
must know that their cause is Just;
that the government is behind them:
that the people at home are giving
their loyal support; that their fam
lilies are not suffering from the greed
of others.
The most necessary thing of all to
unimpairod morale is the feeling that
there is absolute justice in the method
of selecting the men to go to the front
Right there occurs the thought that
no efforts on the part Of our govern
ment must be spared to insure fair
ness in the CONSUMPTION. The MEM
bers of the boards must be selected
with the highest regard for justice and
with no regard for politics or, indeed,
for any influence other than that Of
real effort to secure the best men.
Hardship and scf-sacrfce will in
crease as the war continues. II the
wounded return home and see men of
their own age, or younger, well fed
and contentcd who should have gone
to the war there will be q feeling of !
bitterness which will so far to lower |
the morale of the army and thus i'm |
pede the way to victory.
Therefore the first duty at hand is
to see that fair play goes with con-
scription.
