A San Francisco paper has already
suggested that Hoover should run for
president in 1920. Hoover it appears
has a residence in California and CAL

So far there is nothing else that sug-
gest Mr.. Hoover for the presidency. He
has apparently mads good on his job
in Belgium and is now started on one

POISON PILLS AND BABIES.

The poison pill story came up again
yesterday. This time il was a baby
near Cedar Rapids.
The gun that wasn't loaded some
times isn't. But the poison pills left
handy to investigating and curious
baby fingers always are.
From time to time the familiar news
dispatch comes in relating the fatal
poisoning of a child by poison pills.
Ii is always the same story. Pills
usually strychnine, placed where the
child could find and reach them, des
perate but unavailing efforts to save
its life, parents frantic with grief over
the tragedy in their home, and the date
of the funeral. Just the same story
over. and over again varied only by
the agent OF destruction which may be
any deadly poison from rat paste and
acid. But the result to the child is
always the same.
Better leave loaded revolver on the
dresser or on the floor than deadly
drugs in places where children may
secure them. The poison pills are es-
pecially deadly because Of their at
tractiveness. Lock up all poisons and
place the key where irresponsible
childhood can not find il. Count every
portion of rat paste carefully and see
that they are all gathered as carefully.
Understand the cruel deadliness Of the
powerful drugs you deal with. Use
supreme caution in handling them.
Anything less is criminal carelessness.
However the frantic parents may De
pitied condemnation always goes with
pity when carelessness brings a death
OF agony to a child.
For II is carelessness, plain and in
it's way criminal that leaves deadly
poisons in the path Of childhood.

ESTABLISHING A CENSORSHIP.
lDes Moines Register.l

That the war department is seeking
to accomplish by indirection what con
sress refused to authorize il to do by
erection is indicated in the following
dispatch from Washington:
On recommendation of the army
war college the government has asked
Great Britain and France TO insure
closer cooperation of censorship with
American regulations. The purpose is
10 stop European censors from passing.
dispatches which American newspapers
later are requested by the government
10 withhold from publication. In TAX
ing this action the governments appar-
entity recognizes a situation which has
led to misunderstanding and confusion
IN recent instances concerning Ameri-
can troops
/ The British and French censors al
ready hold up any dispatches which in
their opinion can have any value to
the enemy. Therefore, the American
government is asking stricter CEN
sorship Of dispatches to American
newspapers than would be placed nor
mally upon the newspapers Of France
and Great Britain.
Such censorship can not be I'm
posed in this country because congress-
forbade it. The European censorship
systemic are being used to circumven.
the will Of congress.
The attitude Of the war college
toward the censorship OF news may
be judged from the fact that the cen
sorship bill defeated in congress was
drawn by the war college. and that the
war college a year ago proposed a
censorship which would have forbid
den any newspaper to criticise a mill
tary campaign or an officer of the
army.
When the last American troop con-
tinsent landed in France, the fact was
passed by the French censors, but the
American war department. thru the
government publicity bureau, protest.
ed against its publication in The United
States. on the ground that knowledge
OF the landing would be Of value to the
Germans. 80
When American troops paraded in
Paris on the Fourth of July. the war
department suppressed the news for
day. as a military secret.
The chair-warming bureaucrats at
Washington, especially those In the
army war college, are in exactly the
state of mind that characterized the
British and French governments for
the first year Of the war. It took
months and months for our allies TO
realize that the war censorship, as then
practiced kept little from the Germans
and much from their own people. Now
that they are acquiring sense from ex-
perience. we step in right where they
began, and ask them to reinstitute
their old system Of mystery ana sup
preston, in order to keep the Ameri-
can people from securing information
which the Germans either get for
themselves or Of which they have no
need.
