Iowa was dry. The drys offered bat

on the situation. The vets responded ;
and whether the recount is in their favor
or not. they have exhibited both deter
mination and resources.
Elsewhere-everywhere else-the drys

seeking strength, they have hard work
to do A foe that never sleeps nor

the top" at the first sign of weakness or

As a matter of fact, the fight for pro
hibtion in this country has just begun
Progress has been greet and gratifying,
and more has been accomplished in the
past six years than seemed possible in
dozen. Champions of high distinction
have been enlisted Territory that at
one timn seemed impregnable has been
won. Political social and religious in
fiuences of large value are active.
But the drink traffic is thoroughly or
ganized, and has leaders skilled in their
work. It commands money in quanti-
ties. II has connections of many kinds.

Unpatriotic Strikes.

Men who strike in coal mines at the
outset of winter. when not only this
country but its allies in the war need
every pound of fuel that can be pro
duced, are doing a wicked, unpatriotic
thing, for which there is no justification,
even on the score of just demand for
higher wages The whole fuel situation
is in state of adjustment. The gov
ernment has undertaken to regulate
prices. Both the miners and the op-
orators are at this time subject to Off
cial control, to insure the highest pos
sible production and the most reason
able rates. Wages are a factor in this
adjustment. A strike is virtually a de
fiance of the government. 1t is now an
nounced that q settlement is in prospect
shortly. Yet this does not excuse any
miner from the charge of unpatriotism
or any operator from the accusation of
obstructing the war work of the United
States when through lack of agreement
at the mines work is suspended at the
very time when the need is greatest.
The prayer of the country is that this
settlement now in prospect will be eff
fective both to relieve the immediate
situation and to prevent war -obstruct-
ing and distress causing strikes here
after, not only in the coal fields, but in
other areas of production of necessities

"Come and Take Itw

1t is reported that the Emperor of
Germany recently said that if the French
want Alsace Lorraine they must 60 and
take it from the Germans. This is char
asteristic of the German position in gen
eral. Conquest, not right, is to deter
mine the settlement. The French have
heretofore abstained from driving into
the territory of the "lost provinces" save
at the very outset of the war, when they
penetrated southern Alsace and were
later driven out of all but the extreme
tip and the western edge. They have
chung tenaciously to this small portion
of the area, the restoration of which to
the French colors they demand as one
of the bases of peace. The reason for
this abstention from concentrated ag-
gressive movement is believed to he an
unwillingness to infict the devastation
which forward movement such as that
at the Somme and along the Aisne would
cause. There can be no doubt that if the
Germans are forced to retreat through
Alsace and Lorraine they will leave
those provinces in utter devastation. So
when the kaiser challenges France to go
and take Alsace-L Lorraine he virtually
declares that if the French do succeed
in wrestling it from German control they
will secure nothing but blasted de-
populated land There is ample ground
for this deduction The horrors left by
the Germans in their retreat last win
ter leave no room to doubt what would
be done TO Alsace Lorraine if French
pressure resulted in pushing the Teu-
tonic lines cast of the Rhine.

The Iowa Election.

A recount of the ballots cast in Mon
days election in Iowa has been ordered
In total poll of 43C 900 votes, the vets

The figures show that vigorous can

number of speeches, and helped stir the
drys to their action.

and talents freely. Still, the state has
withstood their appeals, and other ap-
peals, and kept its place at the head OF
the opposition. Hence the interest that
attaches to this latest appeal, reinforced
as it is by eminent male influences with
in and without the commonwealth.
Some curiosity exists as to what eff
feet on the cause the situation in the
metropolis may have. The mayoralty
campaign is booming. Personalities are
flying hither and yon, thick and fast.
The town is stirred profoundly. The
registration promises vote but little
But this has no relation to woman
suffrage The contest is over control of
the town, with the fusionists striving to
remain in power, and Tammany striv-
ing to get in. Business interests are in
the forefront. and may obscure the case
of the women.
Mr. Bryan is in the state stumping
for the cause, and meeting with cordial
| receptions. The glad hand has not al
ways been offered him in that section.
Indeed, there have been times when his
appearance in the state in behalf of any
! cause would have produced protest. His
speeches would have hurt rather than
helped. Now, however he is very vel
come. and is doing his best.
A victory for the women in New York
next month will hearten them for their
work in this town next winter, when
they will move in force for legislation
by Congress. Although war business
will be abundant and pressing at the
regular session, the vote for women will
be urged. and a campaign conducted by
the leading women of the country 1t
is promised, indeed, that they will exert
themselves as never before that the
"drive" will be a record of the kind, and
that all the reserves will be brought up
Naturally, therefore, the New York cam
paign is arousing great interest on both
sides, and developing both in their best
form and fettle.

Powerful as these men are, they are
in "the enemy's country" Hitherto, New
York has shown strong hostility to
woman suffrage. And yet the cause has
had brilliant advocates there. Some of
the most effective speakers and writer's
among the women themselves reside in

For wisdom so extremely great

But some day he will have to name
The subject of his thinking;
And then, too, oft we see his fame
Into oblivion sinking.
A solemn manner will impress
AS long as you can hold it,
And people will attempt to guess
Your secret till you've told it.
Some day your mind you must unload
There is no use of baking.
And then what prestige may explode
By just little talking7
