LET IT FEEL THE AK.

The question of abolshing the direct pri-
mary law now in force and returning to the
convention system seems certain to come up in
this session of the Iowa general assembly The
act has proved unsatisfactory beyond expecta-
ton, and there are senators and representa-
tives in both the parties who consider it unim-
provably bad and too fundamentally worth
less to be hettered by amendment. But wheth-
er there are enough members sick of political
nostrums to pass law restoring the old, sim
pie sane system remains to be seen. The
present law seems not wholly satisfactory to
body Some hold that the machines
have too much power in making tickets. Others
contend that they have too little, and that par
ty organizations should be permitted and ex-
pected to select the party nominees So it
would seem, in these conditions, well that the
direct primary law be made to feel the sharp
edge of the ak.

mo extravagance since the money is current
and the book has not lessened productive
forces. If wealthy man buys much more OF
foodstuffs than he needs at a time when food
stuffs are generally needed and if the surplus
is wasted, there is extravaganza not because O,
the money spent but because of the waste
We are an extravagant people because we
waste SO much. Anthony Hope once defined
economy as .'going without something you
want now so that you may have something you
won't want in the future We have acted as
a nation somewhat as if we subscribed to TINS
philosophy The sort of extravaganza the lie
Insurance men inveigh against is lack OF THRIFT
and this means wastefulness. What we need IS
a sensible standard of values so that we may
conserve the great prosperity which we have
enjoyed and do still enjoy for the things which
really count for general happiness.

CONGRESSIONAL sERvILITY.

As was to have been expected congress VIII
permit the president to decide if the leaks
that precipitated his peace note panic shall be
probed To this end Chairman Henry OF the
rules committee will ask Secretary Lansing OF
the state department, who will ask the presl-
dent if the resolution of Representative Wood
shall be pigeonholed or permitted to come be-
for the house.
Meanwhile Representative Wood has been
hunting evidence and declares that he can show
that a relative of high government Official
profited immensely by early information OF the
presidents note. It can be established, also, In
his opinion, that representatives of our govern
ment in foreign capitals had this foreknowi-
edge and took advantage of it to their financial
betterment
Yet in the face of all this the servile majority
in the house will go cap in hand to the chief
executive and ask him if the legislative equal
and coordinate branch Of government may be
allowed to make inquiry into fragrant acts al
legged to have been committed by public serv-
ants in salaried positions Of high responsible
ity and power. President Wilson knows how
to exact humility, docility, servility from his
representatives. There is no room for doubt Of
that.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE PERFECT MAN.

THE PERFECT MAN.
What does it take to make complete
From of his head to the soles or his feetf
With naught to subtract and nothing to add
A man not too good and man not too bad?
Is man but leg, boot?
An eye, and an ear, and tongue, and a throat?
Is there nothing in him to extol?
Brain? or a heart? conscience or soul?
Is the hunchback, the deaf the mute and the blind
Tie only unfortunate the fraii world can ind?
The only sad creature whose makeup is weak
Enough for tongue and voice to speak?
Is the man that hobbies along as he goes
The only wreck in the tide Of earths woes?
Is there no petrifed heart? No brain out Of plumb?
No conscience deep scared and wtnered and dumb?
e.
Is the miserable gristle in place of spine,
The shrunken ideal, the hope out of line,
TIE twisted desire, the wishwashy WILL
No cause to suspect that the makeup Is Ill?
Is there vision TO look through the skin
And see the deep voids that may lie within?
The crack the inside where the outside is whole?
The warp in the heart and the limp in the soul?

An Iowa Product.

Des Moines Capital: The Thirty
seventh general assembly will be
strictly an Iowa product.
An examination of the. herd" book,
which is more complimentary terms
is the legislative directory. shows
that an astonishing percentage Of the
members have lived all their lives
in the Hawkeye state.
The senate holds the banner in
this respect. Thirty-two out Of fifty
senators were born and raised in this
state OF the remainder eight have
lived here all but five, or less, Of
their years; four moved to the state
between the ages of FIVE and ten and
only SIX have claimed other states
for their homes for longer periods
In the house not quite half of the
108 members, fifty-three to be exact,
have always claimed Iowa as their
home. Those who have resided here
all but five years number twenty one,
and twenty-eight have lived outside
for ten or more years.
The soil is adequately represented
in the next general assembly with
forty-seven farmers, including men
who are partially Identified VIA

a warning against extravaganza issued by
an assembly Of prominent life insurance off
Gals has reused a large number of newspaper
correspondents to activity. From what is be-
ing printed it is plainly evident there is con-
siderable confusion as to the proper meaning
of the word. In the first place many people
connect extravaganza with the spending of
large sums of money while actually the amount
of money involved in any transaction has moth
ing to do with the matter Of extravaeant ex-
penditure. Extravaganza arises when money,
time and labor which are needed for individual
or general requirements are diverted to uneg-
sentials Spending nickel for something IN
needed when there is no other nickel for the
other thing that is needed is extravaganza. nav
ing many dollars for something to CRAFTY a
personal taste is not necessarily extravagant
because of the money spent or of the non-utili-
tartan character of what is purchased: it only
becomes extravaganza when the dollars are
needed for something required for personal or
family well-being or when labor and capital
which ought to be devoted to producing neces
sites are diverted to producing n-essentials

RAILWAYS CONTENTION SUSTAINED.

While the switchmens union has won the
eight-hour day and an increase of wages, the
decision of the federal board of arbitration is
not altogether unsatisfactory to the railroads.
The demand that eight hours or less shall con-
stitute days work was granted, but the men
do not get ten, but only nine hours pay for
eight hours work. The award is not an en-
dorsement of the Adamson law. Particularly
pleasing to the roads is the statement by Pro
fessor jerks and Judge Howry, two of the
arbitrator, that while it has seemed wise to
make eight hours the standard minimum day,
the weight of testimony shows that the con
ditions of the various kinds of railway work
are SO different that only time can determine
just how far eight-hour shifts can be worked
without prohibitory cost to the roads and I'M
due disturbance of the work of their patrons. y
An important contention Of the companies in
the recent wage controversy, that an eight
hour work day could not be applied to all train
service, seems to have been sustained by the
federal arbitrators.
