IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
The Cedar Rapids Gazette makes an
excellent suggestion that the laws re.
IQuiring local officials charged to law
enforcement be set In immediate oper-
alton all over the state and that ON
GERS derelict under the removal laws
be Nincontinently removed. 1t Is an
excellent suggestion but needs per
sons with sand to start proceedings
and the assistance OF the attorney gen
eral to accomplish the purpose. Tne
department Of justice has never been
/ slack in this respect but the folks az
home think twice before signing the
necessary papers. The special agent
has his place.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: While part
| OF New forks population is rioting
| for food it is said that the tips to head
walters in certain all-night cafes are
SO large that the money is carried
away in handbags. 1t would seem that
1.-THE counties incorporated as Greater
| New York may be able to support their
citizens in need.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: When
President Wilson was delivering his
| mild request for authority to inaugu-
rate a campaign of armed neutrality
you would never have surmised from
| the appearance of his affidavit face
that he had as much ammunition stor-
! ed for use in support of his request
as he subsequently revealed.
Burlington Gazette: The old story
that women used their stockings as
Esavings banks has been retuted-so
far as We can see. q lzzss.zlzz55Ei.5 .2z4
Sioux City Journal: Senator stone
described Senator Lodge as so anx-
ious to support the president when u
pleases him and always so ready to
oppose him when it pleases him..
Come to think of it, that is about what
might be expected of any straight
thinking senator.
Shenandoah Sentinel-Post: The
world has moved since Horace Boies
carried Iowa on a platform faSoring
saloons. Hallelujah!
Burlington Hawk-Eye: The demo-
Gratis are fighting and keeping down
the high cost of living like they main
tanned the one-term principle laid
down In their bdltlmore pldtioim.
Sac Sun: The county superintend-
lent is a school man. chosen by school
officials to perform school duties. He

should continue SO to be.

good deal Of debate to thresh out
some of the disputed points in connec-
ton with Sabbath observance, and
men will never be Of one mind on 1t
lin these ante-millennium days.

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE

QUITTING TIME.
fused to watch the clock in boyhood days
And yearn to leave my tasks for stored ways
To join brave knights adventuring sublime,
1t seemed SO long to wait for quitting time!
The years swung by, and, swayed by hope and zest
1t seemed each hours living the best
moment clipped from happiness crime.
never stopped to think Of quitting time!
But now watch the hours dragging hand,

Hot youth is gone! Past manhoods eager prime,
I've naught to do but wait for quitting time!

Fire and water shall wonders do,
And England shall admit Jew.

To dress Hike men and breeches wear,
And cut of their beautiful locks Of

Then love shall die and marriage

And babes and stockings so decrease
That wives shall fondle cats and dogs.
And men live much the same as hogs.

Build your houses OF rotten sticks
For then shall mighty wars be plan

And fire and swords sweep DER the

But those who live the century

In fear and tremble this will do;
Fly to the mountains and to the

And as he tOots his wond' rous horn,

Cuban Road Built by Americans.
To the Editor OF The Gate City:
ALLOW me to take exception to Mr..
John Nagel's remarks about good
roads in Cuba. He says Iowa could
take lessons from the Cubans in road
making. Well, he surely spent a
very, very short time In Cuba to make
this assertion. For II he had inquired
he would have found out that the six.
ty miles of good roads he mentions
was built by Americans under the
direct supervision Of the late Cen
eral FItzhugh Lee, while he was gov
ernor OF the two provinces OF Havana
and Pinar Del Rio. It was built by
Americans for military wagon road
or road on which to move heavy
ordnance quickly and In time OF
necessity. was at that time in the
employ of the engineering depart
ment, division OF Cuba, as military
wagon road construction superintend-
ent, and had direct charge of most
of this road construction The Out
hook on several occasions has men,
toned this road as the best on the
American continent, part of which
having cost more than SIS 900 per
mile. Mr.. Maggie is right. though. in

COMMERCIAL MILITARIsM.

An onion dealer Of Chicago is recorded as
lamenting that he had not cornered the supply
in which case, as he declared, the price would
now be twenty-five dollars bag instead OF
half that.
This extortioner and others like him justify
themselves in squeezing to the last degree on
the theory that business is business and that
the christian ethic and the commercial ethic,
50 to call it, are two totally different things.
But this doctrine that might in business is
right is commercial militarism, piracy in bust
ness, frightfulness in trade; and there are some
who think that the day is near when greed,
however merciless it may be at heart, will find
it inexpedient to avow such sentiments or to
attempt to do business on that plan

One of those things that make diplomacy
such fearsome thing to the layman is de
veloped when the United States can obtain a
safe conduct from the entente allies for de-
parting German ambassador but cannot get
any assurance from the central empires of the
safety of its own representative returning from
Europe and must not even ask for it.
