The first furnace fires ought to sug-
gest complete cleaning up in the base
ments and thorough going over of aue
connections. It's easier and more
thrifty than to move out at midnight
some cold night,
1t might be suggested this week also
that a dry Iowa is greater Iowa. So
much has already been proved
They may fight among themselves

About the best excuse LaFollette's
friends could make for him would be
to plead pararoia and bring the wit
nesses Of that break he made when
he was running for the presidential
nomination.
A man who refuses to defend his
rights doesn't deserve liberty. The man
who refuses to share his profits with
the country in emergency doesn't de-
serve profits. The rich man who Stacks
on the bond issues doesn't belong in
white mans neighborhood.
Some men claim the world owes
them living. They aren't much diff
ferent from the men who act as though
they owe nothing to the country they
live and prosper in.
If October does as well as Sepiem-
Der it will meet the approval OF Messrs.
Hoover and Garfield. And the rest Of
us also.
Doubtless the kaiser wishes he had
bought supplies with that money
wasted on crooked Americans.

Iowa has numerous physicians and
surgeons WHO will be found voting
against the amendment. Their &C
tions are still stranger. From a
scientific view they know better than
any ordinary mortal the evil effects
of drink upon the human system.

life and character; and there ~ no
Drawer body of men and women tnan
these same Friends, as all history
teaches
Well what are conscientious ob1ec-
tors being required to do. The gov
eminent is doing it's best for the con-
scientious objector. 1t Is not forcing
him to carry a rife wherever 1t may
be avoided but is planning other work
for him. 1t isn't offering him full liber-
ty to do as he pleases when other men
are being drawn to defend his country
and theirs, but it is requiring service
from him as is right and just between
him and other men.
The hospitals are open to the con-
scientious objector. Hospital work Is
military work but it is the life saving
and not the life taking side o: military
service Defensive service that does
not include actual fightingsis wide open
to him. The demand is not that he
shall take life but that he shall serve
and share in common citizenship,
that if he enjoys protection for his
property and his life and his home
from line of lighting men fighting his
battles and their own, he shall serve
some way when the lot falls on him.
And that is right and just in a free
country.
Let us get that idea Of comm on
common responsibility thoroughly into
our minds. We are all conscientious
DIRECTORS to war. II there is citi-
zen who does not shudder at the OBJ
scene horrors of war he is not a good
citizen or a christian; but the conclu-
sion of mankind is that there are worse
things than war. Slavery is worse than
war. And so men fight when they must
in defense of common freedom and to
maintain liberty. 1t Is impossible in a
common cause to afford every mind its
own absolutism. A common cause is
a composite OF all causes Joined to a
great purpose. And all men must serve
it in one and another way But all
must serve.
When the great conference Of Uni
tarians was in progress last week the
committee on resolutions attempted to
cover and coincide with the different
opinions on the war and it's conduct
held by different groups. 1t resulted
as such attempts always result in
practical notification of all opinion
Then president Taft. presiding,
called another TO the chair and offered
real patriotic substitute pledging the
Unitarians 10 the country and the war
and the allied nations in the war The
substitute ran thru the assembly as
fire in flax II spoke a common pa
triotism and that great assembly
cheered it to the echo and voted it thru
with enthusiasm.
That is what We must do, whatever
qualms Of conscience We may hold,
we must rally to a common center and
serve in a common cause. The con-
scientious director who strives to
avoid all service need not expect the
average citizen to fully accept his plea
OF conscientious scruples. The aver
age citizen is likely to take another
view Of his attitude while life is to be
saved as we'll as taken, while all that
must be done behind the lines awaits
willing hands to do It.
