JAPAN'S INTERESTS
LIE WITH AMERICA

Toxic, Mar. 6.-Japan knows fully
well where her true interests lie and
would be committing an act OF sheer
madness IL she attempted to violate
her plighted faith with the allies"
Field Marshal Count Seiki Terauchi,
premier of Japan, told the United
Press in an exclusive statement to-
day, His statement follows, signed
by Field Marshal Seiki Terauchi,
premier Of Japan:
THE report OF Germany's latest
move toward a combination Of Japan
and Mexico against the United States,
reveals the persistence with which
the Germans are exerting themselves
to estrange Japan from the United
States and at the same time show
their complete ignorance of the aims
and aspirations of other nations.
Japan would be- committing an act
Of sheer madness II she ever ar
tempted to violate her plighted faith
with her allies and with her friends
in difficulties and join any political
combination against the United
States, with whom she is linked by
community interests and vast ma
terial interests as we'll as sentiments
os sincere friendship.
"The American public may rest as
sured that Japan knows fully well
where her true interest lies"

His scheme is to dispose of it through groceries and
butchers shops. Apparently the public would and
carry their milk home.
The delivery of milk is of the worst botches in

of life used by every family. Yet there will be dozen
milk carts running through street, all duplicating

ton might or might not work. The monopoly might
charge the public high profit that there might be no
gain. If the city undertook the distribution the work
would not probably be efficiently DONE politics would
drive the milk wagon, and there might be economy
to be distributed through stores Of course there
will always be many people who consider their time more

PLUMS FOR MATHONIAH
AND WILLIAM:

The recent appointments of Mathoniah Thomas, Demo
cratic State Chairman, and William Wallace ex-Demo
cratic National Committeeman to the position of mem
bers of the Water Rights Commission has caused consider
able speculation the part of many citizens In the first
place these citizens did not know there such commits
on and in the second place they did not know that Math
onah and William would take anything that did not carry
fat salary with it, and right there is where said citizens
have been doubly mistaken.
While the people have been sereney sleeping thinking
that the pledges of the democracy all that
sary to insure economy in state affairs the legislature
has steady and carefully but surely been enacng laws to
take care of the pie hunters, and Mathoniah and William
have been the state house for the past sixty days
for nothing.
The legislature recently passed bill creating Water
Right Commission providing for three citizens to be
appointed by the Governor zone of whom shall be learn
ed in the law; of whom shall be practical engineer
and of whom shall be person who is familiar with
water rights and the of the state State En-
gneer William D. Beers selected for the first and
Messrs Thomas and Wallace for the last two.
The bill does not fix salary leaving the matter m the
hands of the Board of Examiners and the last few lines
of the BILL originally drawn appropriates just SlSooo
to take care the expense 1t said by those on the
side that the salary will be 100000 or over From the
fact that an Engineer of Mr. Beers class could not be
pected to look at anything less makes clear that the
salary will be at least the amount stated
100000 each for occasional service board OF this
kind is nice little recognition for Mathoniah and William
We saw occasional service from the fact that the engineer
will be expected to do the work. while the others draw the
pay Just another evidence of democratic economy, all
of which goes towards the filling of another page IN the
taxpayers book of experience.
No wonder the appropriation bill creeps close to one
half million dollars. No wonder it is the largest in the
history of the State. 1t is purely democratic

MOVE the KELLY TRIAL TOO.

Attorney General Havner will be
tried at Logan, having secured a
chnge Of venue from Montgomery
county thru the supreme court. 1t was
evident enough to court and laity alike
that Red Oak is no place to try the at
torney general for the alleged infrac-
ton of the law for which he has been
indicted 1t was a sensible and proper
thing the supreme court did when it
sent the case to another county.
And if that is admitted in the Hav-
ner case it is even more true of the
second trial of Kelly.
Havner's trial has been moved from
Red Oak because the state of public
opinion appears TO preclude a trial I'M
affected and unembarassed by inter-
ference and the threat Of public opin-
ion and private reprisal upon jurors
and court. The same reasons precisely
exist in the Kelly case.
Why try Kelly in Red Oak to con-
tinue condition and revive again cir
cumsrances and acts that have put the
entire state 10 shame? Why not try
the man in a neutral county instead of
in the center Of a feud that has been
compared to those of Breathitt and has
been urged with a vjndictiveness quite
as strong as in a mountain county Of
east Tennessee or Kentucky.
The supreme court took the Havner
trial away from Montgomery. If it has
the power as it presumably has, it
should move the second Kelly trial to
another county for the good name of
the state and in the interests OF JUS

At The LAST DAY.

War came to Iowa for the first time
with the second loan. The drive for
Iowa's allotment has developed the
first sacrifice wealth has had to face IN
this war. 1t has not involved any great
or serious sacrifice for the wealthy.
In some instances the subscription
made has gone deep into sacrifice but
that has been among those who were
not wealthy up to and beyond a COM
petence.
The small farm owner with mort
borrower OF capital has made the sac
rifce. Not the capitalist The in
weston has made little or no sacrifice
in his taking Of the bonds for the bonds
are gilt edged investments; but the
man who works on borrowed funds, the
salaried man and wage worker who
has taken until 1t hurts has made a
sacrifice.
Capital has done well, that is most
capital. Those there are entirely able
and utterly unwilling who have es-
capped with as little as they could and
there are those who have refused en-
tirely. The Stacker we have always
with US, but he is so infrequent that
he can not hide himself He stands
out in relief. He may be able to draw
heavier interest rates than per cent
but he can draw no sight drafts on
public or individual respect. He has
lost that balance
1t will be raised, perhaps over
subscribed. Also we have learned much
| in this canvass. That those who re-
fused this time will be offered no es-
cape in the future is evident from COM
mon speech and expression. What the
| individual refuses the law will take and
| the laws will be framed to fit.

RIVER TRAFFIC.
TBurlington HaWkeye.l

During more years than some OF us
can remember, there has been more or
less active agitation for resumption OF
freight traffic on the Mississippi. Ever
have there been a few who had the
vision and who were confident that
sooner or later the great stream
would be the principal freight route OF
all the world, and that by and by great
fleets Of freight boats would carry the
products of the great alley to the sea
and in return would bring to the north
what 1t needed from across the seas
and from the states bordering on the
lower river.
There has been a semblance OF pas
senger travel on the river Of late. But
it has generally been local and the bulk
of the work Of the big boats was ex-
cursion business and taking the vaca-
