THE FUTURE AND FTLIBUSTER.
davenport Timeyl

The death of the armed ship bill =:
the senate is quite likely TO be viewed
in the future as one of the lucky
things that has happened IN this coun-
try since the beginning OF the war.
If the apparent purpose OF the admin
istration Is taken into account, the
passing of such q measure wasinot the
remedy for the supposed danger to the
United States.
1t is not the rights of the few who
wish to travel on ships In the barred
zone, nor yet the demand Of the ship
pers for a means of sending their
goods to Europe that has caused a
large number Of people in this country,
and seemingly including the president
himself. to assume that the United
States may as well get into the wa:
on one pretext or another now so that
in the time of need the United States
may have the support OF England
against either Germany or Japan. The
real fear is that we may need help
against both when the Monroe doe
trine is placed in jeopardy some time
in the future.
Bur it must be kept In mind that

uncertain az the international relation
of countries used TO making alliances
There is no certainty at all in the pos
sibility that if the United States were
TO get into the war on the side of the
entente. the entente nations would
come to the assistance OF the United
States in the event of a struggle with
either OF the powers named, should
they undertake to encroach on South
or Central America contrary to the
| fiat Of this country contained in the
Monroe doctrine.
Instead Of arming ships. which is a
doubtful expedient and at best will no,
| make safe more than small percent

blockade, the country ought TO enter
| upon a gigantic program Of prepared
| ness for it's own protection in the

voTfNG MACHINES.
Huntington Gazette.1

An important question Is now pend
ing before the Des Moines county
board Of supervisors and that Is
whether or not to purchase new voting
machines. After careful Investigation
the Gazette believes that they should.
In the first place, the machines are
SO simple that anyone can readily
understand how to operate them and
they can be used at every election.
Whether 1t is primary, commission
form or regular election, they answer
the purpose and should be used regu-
larly.
Instead of being an added expense to
the taxpayers they are really a saving.
Des Moines county has twenty years to
pay for them. The company has
offered $4,000 for the old machines,
which are entirely out of date and are
probably only good for junk.
The citizens Of Burlington and Des
Moines county should interest them
selves sufficiently to investigate the
voting machine question and not allow
this opportunity to pass by without
proper consideration.
The old method of voting, followed
by long hours of counting, etc, is not
the method Of an up-to-date COM
munity.

Alas, Prohibition was here.
He went TO the tavern to purchase

But when he got there the place was
for sale.
He went TO the shop for bottle Of gin.
But when he got there he couldn't get

He ordered some whisky for use SCI

They sent him wood spirits-the smell
was terrific.

tee with his own economy and acumen

Thompson and told OF farmhands he
had known, Finally he laid down a
course for school teachers which II
followed should result in affluence,
plethoric, complete and abundant. 'If
the teachers will save up their money
and quit spending it for cigars and
picture shows they won't have to have

terance. Then barking back to the

Representative Anderson should take
into consideration that public school
teacher has expenses that he as Davis
county hired man had not. Represen-
tatve Anderson could worm tobacco

by one suspender over hickory shirt.

to teach the young idea in such attire
might be subject to adverse criticism,
She also must pay for board and lodg
ing where Mr. Anderson in those glad
free days when he bugged potatoes
down in Davis was boarded and lodged
and got his washing and mending done.

investigation. II the habit of excess
sive cigar smoking among the school

Mrs. Fun.ton's Pension.

The senate has passed a bill grant

widow Of Gen. Frederick Funston. The
house committee in charge OF the bill
appears to be determined to cut the
allowance to $50 month.

pension whatever rather than dole out
