ceder tarde temprano, aun GUAM
do es possible que la lucha Sc pro,
tongue dos o tres afios mas. La
opinion perita sobre resultados es
que las naciones de la Entente, que
estan aliadas con los Estados Uni
dos, tienen la ventaja en- recursos
y en- hombres y sin duda prevale-
ceran al fin. La entrada de los Es-
tados Unidos la guerra es consi-
derada por muchos como ell golpe
de muerte del militarismo y de las
pretensiones de Alemania y sus
aliadas. Nuestro gobierno, con IL
beralidad nunca vista, proporcion6
a las naciones de Ia Entente los re-
cursos que tanto fiecesitaban, pres
tandoles dos mil millones de pesos
para que siguieran adelante en- su
tarea, y a mas de ESQ va a contri-
buir con I'm ejercito numeroso pa
ra que de ayuda efectiva en- los
campos de batalla a los esfuerzos
de sus aliados. Con auxilios tan
eficaces aumentan doblemente las
probabilidades del triunfo final de
las naciones de la Entente.
La opinion del mundo civilizado
es que las guerras no pueden nj
deben continuar eternamente por-
que ESQ traeria ruina general y ell
exterminio de una gran proportion
de la raza humana. Todos admiten
la necesidad de una paz prolonga-
da y de arreglos internacionales
que hagan difcultosa la guerra pa
ra los gobiernos inclinados a ella.
Sc propone que tan pronto como
concluya la guerra actual de las
naciones interesadas en- mantener
la paz Sc unan y Sc confederen por
medic de tratados y compromises
solemnes a emplear todo su poder
para mantener la paz y para i'm
poner arreglos forzosos a las po-
tencias que tefgan desavenencias
y traten de hacerse la guerra. Sc
cree que esta sera una medida muy
efectiva para contener los impetus
belicosos de potencias que quieran
buscar aventuras en- los campos de
batalla impulsadas por la rapacidad
y la codicia de ensanchar. sus do
minios o por el deseo de vengar
agravios reales o imaginarics. Por
supuesto, estas medidas no aboli-
ran del todo la guerra, pero servi-
ran mucho para hacerla mas rara,
menoS extensa y de menos dura-
ci6n. Una paz de cincuenta amos
podra dar oportunidad a las po.
tencias beligerantes para restafiar
las heridas y reparar los perjuicios
que han recibido y reciban en- el
conflicto actual.

Los Estados Unidos de America
son una naci6n pacifica por natu-
raleza y sus procedures y tradicio-
mes todas tienden en- direction de
mantener la paz y evitar la guerra
en- todas las maneras posibles. Su
Intervention en- la guerra europea
ha sido motivada por la necesidad
Imperative de defender sus dere-

Esa misma libertad desea que dis

y que Sc observer estrictamente

cional que sostiene y garantiza el

que que ell gobierno americana es

por casi todos los gobiernos civil
lizados que no tienef por sistema
la conquista de territories pertene-

La situaci6n de las naciones de
Europa es muy diferente a la que
prevalece en- los Estados Unidos,
pues ALA por motives de vecindad
y de rivalidad estan obligadas a
mantenerse armadas y a la defen-
silva para defenderse contra cual-

tes de esas naciones que son los
que sufren las consecuencias VI
perdidas que trae una guerra son
todos de la opinion que la guerra
es funesta, odiosa, desnaturalizada
y que deberia ser abolida del todo.
AL contrario, la politica de algunos
gobiernos establecidos bajo ell sis
tema del militarismo y de conquis-
ia esta radicalmente en- favor de
la guerra porque aspiran a domi-
MO universal y abrigan la idea fila |
de ensanchar sus dominios. Estos
gobiernos son los que Sc oponen a

no este enteramente conforme con

when some green country boy from
some other state comes to Iowa and
happens to carry an ancient pistol that
would not hit anything If it were pos
sible to discharge 1t, that lad is prompt
ly arrested and taken into court and
given a heavy sentence. perhaps even
in state prison. And then the crooks
and the toughs at home are supposed
to take warning The law is all right.
But the manner in which 1t is enforced
is simply ridiculous. The innocent
country lad. who carries a pistol be-
cause he is away from home and among
strangers, and who has always believed
that it is the proper thing to carry
guns in the far west is singled out by
officers who know that there are doz-
ems upon dozens Of people in the blocks
along their beat who carry weapons,
and who carry them for no good pur-
pose. People who are not harmless and
unsophisticated, either. People who are
apt to use those guns on the slightest
provocation. That may be one reason
why some OF these crooks are never

KEEPING IOWA IN THE MUD.

Let us hope that the second defeat
Of the Pitt-Johnston road bill Will fin
ally take the road issue out OF politics
and permit something to be done in
Iowa toward the building Of roads fit
for a modern vehicle to travel Such
men as Pitt and Johnston and others of
Of court house cliques. For reasons
best known to themselves they have
way commission which commission has
put an end to much bridge graft in
ture they have tried and failed to de-
stroy the highway commission but they
have succeeded in blocking all further
progress in road legislation.
Let us hope, too, that with the end Of
their mountain of misinformation and
prejudice regarding bond issues and
abled small men to be elected to office
and have been seized upon by design
ing politicians for that reason only.
The states chief highway engineer
has often said that gravel Is the most
available material for the surfacing Of
roads in Iowa excepting those main
roads in the Immediate vicinity Of a
few cities of $1,000 inhabitants or over.
There is no paved road issue in Iowa
because none could be built without
the vote OF those who are to pay for
them, II the people OF any community
want them they should have the right
to build them for 1t is their own BUSH
ness.
Likewise there should be no road
bond issue in politics and yet politi-
clans have made many believe that
there is danger of confiscation and ex-

Well, after Uncle Lucky had spent Il
week at the Old Brier Patch he
thought it was time for him TO go
home. So he called up his home on
the telephone and ordered his automo-
bile sent for him.
Now don't you worry about Billy
Bunny" he said to Mrs. Bunny, I'll
take good care Of him and send him
home safely
Then he fixed his goggles on and
Billy Bunny cranked up the automobile
and away they went. You see, Uncle
Lucky had grown 50 fond Of the little
rabbit that he just had to take him
home for weeks visit, anyway.
But they hadn't gone 80 very far,
Just little way, when the automobile
ran into load Of hay. And oh, dear
me. The hay all tumbled down on top
OF Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky ana
you couldn't see bit Of the automo-
bile. Wasn't that dreadful?
Well, I don't know what would have
happened ~ they would have been
smotfered or had hay fever. guess

come along Just then. Well. sir, he put
his trunk around that pile Of hay apd

All that has ever been proposed Is
that several years road taxes may be
made available at once for permanent
road work in order to save the waste
Of repeated temporary work, No in
crease of taxes has been proposed by
any bond issue. The taxpayers OF
Iowa have been raising s7000,000 every
year for their roads and $4,000, 900 of it
each year has been largely wasted on
temporary work. These figures are Of
fetal. The result Is that Iowa has
Eonly per cent of its roads surfaced for
wet weather travel when such states as
Indiana and Ohio have forty times as
much on about the same amount of
road taxes. Every state in the union
except four has more than Iowa and
the average is eleven times as much as
Iowa.
This is what Pitt and Johnston and
Governor Harding and the Home
stead have done for Iowa, One county,
Buena Vista, has gone forward and
has anticipated it's road taxes for
eight years so as to grade and gravel
it's entire county road system but 1t is
the only county that has done as much
because ten year roads can't be built
out Of one years tax money IN any
county. All other counties will con-
tinue to waste S. out of every 81 in
temporary work until the tax payers
league gets wise to the Pitts and the
Johnstons and takes road building out
Of politics. For two sessions now Iowa
has been kept IN the mud by these
men while our road taxes go right on.
Buena Vista alone out of ninety-n
counties Is out of the mud and yet her
taxes have not been changed. viii
progress now be permitted to proceed
since the obstruction has been re-
moved? Oh no. The people can't be
trusted 10 vote on road bonds. at least
not until another legislature has been
elected.
