IOWA PRESS COMMENT,

Des Moines Register: AS the end
of November approaches, affairs are
getting worse for the Turks in Pal
estine as well as in this country.
| Cedar Rapids Republican: A West
Virginia woman, according to a Des
Moines paper, has received 500
pounds of literature telling her how
to avoid waste. But why go to West
Virginia to learn such facts? Haven
we evidences of over-literaturization
right here in Iowa?
Davenport Democrat: When the
kaiser tells the U-boat commanders
that the submarine will yet win, with
the aid of God, we are more than
ever convinced that he has got his
theology mixed.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
When we are making such an cutlery
against soldiers morals perhaps a
slight investigation of civilian morals
would change our tune. The army
doctors say that moral conditions
are better in the army than at home
and worst of all, these doctors go on
and prove it.
Sioux City Journal: One Of the
German kings has announced plan
to establish at Leipzig an institute
for southeastern Europe and Turkey.
Institute or abattoir?
Ottumwa Courier: Socialism is
losing no opportunity, either in
America or in Europe, to serve the
kaiser.
Burlington Gazette: Berlin talks
peace only when feeling the gaff.
Sioux City Tribune: Enough vol
unteers over forty-five years of age
can be secured to keep the new Mex
lean trouble from stopping over into
the United States, thus leaving the
regular fighting forces free to pur-
sue the business now in hand.
Marion Register: Give the Amer
lean mill owner and the American
wage Garner chance for their lives.
Free trade spells disaster for the
former and starvation for the latter.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: One out

WITHDRAWING UNWIsDoM.

While greed and ambition preclpltated this
war, the pacifists of the world cannot escape
their large responsibility for it. They were
wel-meanlng persons who considered them
selves very superior products Of evolution and
much above the human average because Of the
stand they took against war and preparations
for war They were dealists with excellent in
tentions; but the trouble with them was that
they lacked wisdom and did not see, and could
not be made to see, that the course they took
was calculated to bring on wars instead of pre-
venting them.
Well-meaning unwisdom is always to be
feared; and it would seem that the better its in
tentions the more dangerous it is.
The governments faith in the patriotism Of
labor so admirably expressed by President
Wilson, is justified by action Of the building
trades department of the American Federation
of Labor ordering discontinuance of all strikes
on government work under it's jurisdiction The
step taken at Buffalo is important. While it af-
fects Immediately only workers employed on
buildings being erected for ship construction or
the manufacture of war materials, it points to
prompt settlement, without interruption of
work, of all disputes threatening delay in com
pletion Of government contracts.

GOOD JOBS FOR WOMEN

as 10 fit themselves TO enter the gov

positions are quite attractive as they
carry salaries Of $1,000 to $1,000 for
beginners.
So great has been the demand for
clerks in the departments at the Ma
:ional capital. even clerks who know
nothing Of either stenogra ply or type
writing, that girls working behind
ribbon counters in department stores
have been quitting their Jobs in order
10 get the much more lucrative pay Of
government employment. But the
larger compensation Is not the only
consideration. The hours Of work,

Admission Of Potatoes Into Canada,
the direct opposite OF what is really
intended
The fact Is. that our present law
provides a duty Of n per cent al
valorem on potatoes imported from a
country which imposes a duty on po'
tatoes from the United States. Can
ada maintains such a duty By re-
realInS her duty. she secures free &C

ing an enormous crop to sell. she
wants to sell In the United States.
The Department OF Commerce tells
the story correctly, but places over 1t
headlines that indicate a desire to
import potatoes from the United
States. American potato growers will
be interested in the outcome.

1t seems that when Germany had q

Roosevelt told the German Ambassa-
dor to have his nation call off the

would have Dewey in action. Roose'

However. 1t is worthy Of note that the
German Ambassador sent word home
and the German squadron left Fcne-
