IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The merg-
| ing of Coe and Leander Clark Illus
trates the truth that colleges,
through the compulsion of evolution,
are tending toward the university
plan. and that those educational IN
stitutions whose environment Will not
allow them 10 develop much sooner
or later pass.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The owner of a Liberty bond simply
goes into partnership with the United
States.
Des Moines Register: We have
suspicion that editorials headed,
when the War Will End" are not
being read as closely as they We're
a year back.
burlington Hawk-Eye: Just now
the east is again discovering that
there is nothing the matter with the
middle west Seems to discover that
every few weeks and then 10 forget
it again.
Cedar Rapids Republican: One man
is quoted as having said that he VIII
Ie. his potatoes rot rather than let
them go for less than dollar ana
a half a bushel He probably SAID
that in his haste. We are sure that
he would be willing to sell them to
the boys who have to DO the hgntlns
for much less than that-in fact, the
average American would be Wiling
to give them outright, If that were
necessary. And bear in mind, that
potatoes may sell for seventy-hVe
cents a bushel before the next crop
is harvested. Anything is liable TO
give away nowadays. 1t is best not
TO speculate too much.
Sioux City Journal: And when
John Frost finally did arrive, he was
met at the station by his old pal,
King Corn, who fell around his neck.
Waterloo Courier: Doubtless II
Senator La Toilette had in advance
any idea of the whirlwind he would
let loose when he went to st. Pau
few days ago and talked to the
lNonpartisan league about our having
no grievance against Germany, JUS
tifying the sinking of the Lusitania,
calling this Wall streets war, and a
| lot more in the same yein-he would
| have stayed away. We have the un-
precedented spectacle Of the COVER
nor of the state whose hospitality
he abused signing a resolution de-
manding his impeachment and the
senate is being flooded with resolu-
lions and requests of the same tenor
| from La Follette's home state and
many other parts of the country
| Doubtless this will have little effect
on La Toilette. He is egotistic
| enough to defy the whole nation.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
OCTOBER WEATHER.


o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers Of June together,
Ye cannot rival for hour
Octobers bright blue weather.
When loud the Dumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless, yagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast
And lanes with grapes fragrant
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without word of warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still old stone walls
Are leaves Of woodbine twining;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seeds sowing,
And in the fields still green and fair,
Late aftermaths growing;
When springs run low, and on the brooks
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sing noiseless in the hush
OF woods, for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country haunts
BY twos and twos together,
And count like misers hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.
O suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boats together,
Love loveth best Of all the year
October's bright blue weather.
