rapid glance at her rise to power.
Has she ever maintained large Standing
Army!
Exceptional circumstances compelled Oil
yer Cromwell to do this, but it was only for
a short time.
Broadly speaking, England has mever
tolerated q large a1nay IN time Of peace.
In what country has democracy made the
most important advances? In England.
What country has planted home-rule colo
MES, and the principles of civil and religious
liberty, all over the globe? England!
From whose laws, Charters, examples,
literature, patriots, and martyrs do freedom
loving people, the world over, drink inspira-
ton? From Engzand's!
Is it not SO?
Yet, England has never been dragooned
into the horrors of military Preparedness,
nor endured the abominable arrogance of the
aristocratic office class, which despises and
brutality runs over the common soldier and
the civilian alike.
How, then, has England led the world?
BY her encouragement to free brains, free
tongues, free pens, free books, free schools
and her Macy.
There is no instance in history of nation
being oppressed by its navy; and there is no
instance of great military establishment on
zand in time of peace, that did not evolve a
despotism of the military CASTE
CITE ME TO ONE
BE assured of one thing-and do not be
sef-deceived- whenever compulsory military
training is put upon the youth of the country,
your Constitution will have been set aside,
and new system of Federal Government in
augurated.
Last week a member of the German Con-
gress (the Reichstag) was sentenced by
court, composed Of 01lStOc90t5c officers, to
1-2 years of hard labor.
Why? Because he had made a speech
which the military fanatics considered trea-
sonable.
If military court can rape the German
Congress and penalize the free speech of one
member, why couldn't the same power drive
out the other members, and lock the doors, as
Oliver Cromwell did, as Louis XIV. prae-
tically did, and as King Constantine of
Greece virtually did last year?
If the military power is supreme in spite of
the German Constitution, the same brute force
can establish supremacy here.
Don't deceive yourself: men are always the
same: give any one man, or any one class, too
much power, and 1t qoiW be a6used
Fight these military changes!
Don't go blindly away from the old land
marks
Stay by the Constitution of your Fathers.
It's the merest tommyrot to say that our
country could ever be invaded by a foreign
army.
The very men UhO sag 1t, KNOW THEY LIE!
There is absolutely no possible danger to
us from foreign a1moy.
The battle-ship and the submarine might
possibly be remote danger, to be met by
our battleships and submarines, and coast
defenses.
But the real truth is, our doadtiest foes are
qcithin the gates.
Those foes are the Specially Privileged

MOTOR H0NKS
BY Otto Horne

| The country is almost conscripted
to prosperity. The government knows
It, every big business house in the
country knows it. If you don't know
it, its high time you were finding it
out!
The prompt adoption by the Ameri-
can people Of the business as usual
idea is going to enable US as a nation
to prosecute war without experience

The crowd at the Schuman Carriage
Co.'S salesroom Tuesday morning did
look like a run on a bank. Many of
our townspeople were no doubt great
ly relieved when it was learned that
they were just trying to get a look at

A tour which Is of particular inter.
est to motorists. Is the one which has
just been inaugurated by The Hyatt
Roller"-a 1909 B1ick that holds the
longest mileage record known-261, 800
miles. The performance or this car
first came to light in a contest insti-
tuted to obtain data concerning the
farthest distance travelled on a single
set of bearings. The present tour
started at Detroit and will end there
after crossing the continent both ways.

carried heavy overloads.
Before the senate committee on
finance considering the war revenue
bill, at which the rubber manufacture
ers were given a hearing, President
F. A. Soldering Of .he Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, declared
that there are now more than 300 rub
Der manufacturers in the United
States. The volume of business done
by these companies in 1916 was ap-
proximately $6O0,00O,000, of which
$3.50, 900 900 was in tires alone. Seib-
erling declared that the rubber indus
try is ready to bear it's just share OF
a uniform tax on rubber products.
Ralph Milford, driving a Hudson
Super-Six, broke the American speed
way record for 10000 miles at the
Chicago races, clipping II seconds
from Dario Resta's time, which for
merly stood as the fastest 200 miles
ever driven by motor car. milford
averaged 104 miles an hour. The
feat of the Super-Six and its great
driver is all the more remarkable
from the fact that the Chicago speed
way is not the fastest of American
motordomes and few existing records
were made on it.
No one ever saw an owl do smart
or wise thing, but he looks so wise
they give him the benefit of the doubt.
He's got personality to burn, whether
he's got anything going on in his
head or not. And he's got reputa.
ton for wisdom that makes Solomon
run a poor second in all the proverbs.
Yet the owl never proved he knew
anything He just looked so wise that
no one could prove he didn't. And he
got away with it. You know some
owls that wear spectacles and trous-
ers and live in apartments with steam
heat and bath and otherwise qualify
under the very broad Technology as
members of the human race. They are
sometimes quite as successful as their
brethren who roost in the trees But
there is this difference The human
owl, unless he really has something
back Of the wise looking front, is
liable to run into situations where he

hasn't got them his goose is cooked.
It's asserviceabIe gift, the ability to
look wise, but there is a corollary
virtue which is just as important
to be wise.

HOG cHoLeRA APPEARS
UNUSUALLY EARLY siN
CENTRAL IOWA COUNTIES,

Cholera in hogs has appeared un-
usually early this year. Ithas occurred
In more than thirty herds In Marshall.
Tama, Poweshiek and Jasper counties
during the spring months. In most OF
the herds observed the type OF the dis
ease ID very chronic and many farmers
have not recognised 1t early, attribut-
ing the unthriftiness Of some OF their
pigs to bad weather, parasites and 9TH
Ter unfavorable conditions. In some Of
these herds the diseake spread to 9TH
Ter individuals. and even to other herds
before its presence was discovered,
causing extensive losses Of high -priceu
hogs that could have been saved by an
early diagnosis Of cholera and timely
use Of the serum treatment The early
appearance Of the disease in SO many
different parts Of the district gives
promise of greater prevalence during
1917 than occurred in 1916. With ccS
respondingly greater losses unless
very earnest effort is put forth to con-
troll it. There are several diseases
which may affect hogs, but cholera
alone is responsible for more than 80
per cent Of losses, and farmer may
we'll suspect cholera when an unthrifty
condition appears in some Of his pigs.
The sick should be placed in a pen
away from the herd and some one CALI
ed early who can determine by q post
norton examination whether or not
cholera exists. When cholera Is found
to exist the serum treatment should be
used without delay. It is the only rem-
edy that will save hogs exposed to
cholera infection.

ed to render any assistance he can in
the fight against hog cholera. Write

OBJECTS TO MoLLYcoDDLEs.
Mayor Of Des Moines Jars Plans to
to Provide Pink Teas for Soldiers.

Des Moines, July 3.-There will be
no mollycoddle tactics employed in the
preparations ~ entertaining the con-
scripted soldiers Of the thirteenth dis
trict cantonment if Mayor Tom Fair
weather has his way about it.
Des Moines will be moral city as
free as Il can be made from unde-
sirable features but as full as possible
Of enterta inment and amusement which
the men between the ages Of II and 81
years of age will enjoy.
When the committee that Is to have
charge of the entertainment features
Of training camp activities under the
authority Of the federal government
II ct at the Chamber Of Commerce yes
terday and called upon Mayor Fair
weather for n brief address he deliv-
cred it bluntly as the wisdom gained
by personal experience.
You can't take lot of soldiers that
have been drilled eight or ten hours a
Cay and entertain them, If they ever
get away from camp, by inviting them
to crochet parties or fiddle de- wink
parties" he said
Not Seeking Social Advantages.
you can't take them into your
homes after church on Sunday evening
won't come.
They would rather stay with their
own boys and pay regular restaurant
prices. They want entertainment but
they want TO pick it for themselves
and they want to be treated decently
and not be subjected to lot Of graft.
Il had the honor to be located at one
Of these training camps at Chatta-
nooga, and l know what they want I'll
speak bluntly. If you get a bunch
of 'nuts' on your committees you might
just as well dissolve them right here
and now.
The government is all right, I'm
for the government and back it up in
what it does, but I must say that there
Is a lot Of tommy rot about some Of
these movements that would leave the
soldiers q lot better off II it had never
been discovered.
"Iou can't get up a crochet match
and tell the soldiers to drive down to
it or you can't get a pink tea and tell
the soldiers to drive to that. They
want recreation and entertainment but
they want to pick it out for themselves
and they cannot be driven to anything
that they do not want. You will have

creation as there are to be soldiers at

| This speech came Immediately after
an explanation of the purpose Of the
| organization of general committee to
take charge of the situation, made by
George A. Bellamy of Cleveland, Ohio
representative of the war department
commission on training camp activities
| Mr.. Bellamy explained that it is es-
sential to the proper handling of the

Eldora. July 3.-The coroner's jury
composed Of w. Fl. Martin, G. l.. Marks
and j. C. Bales, held an adjourned
session Monday and reported near eve
ming that the jury found that John
Baker met his death by accidental
drowning on the evening Of June or
the morning of June 10 in the Iowa
river south and east Of this city. The
evidence tended to show that with
comrades Baker had become infoxi-
Gated and that some time during the
night or early morning he fell into the
river and thus lost his life. Evidence
also showed that there was severe
cut or bruise near the base OF the
brain which many believe was received
before the body of Baker got into the
waters of the Iowa river.

During the feeding season since he

of sheep. The first lot he sold early
and realized $13 per hundred for them.

hundred he made nice profit The
second lot Of about 5000 head cost him
more money and he also sold them for
more. The highest price he received
was $3.50 per hundred and the last
lot averaged him about $3.50 per hun
bred. Had he not struck disastrous
tumble in the market on the last days
