THE PROHIBITION ELECTION.
ICedar Rapids Gazette.

With the election on prohibition only
six weeks away, October 10, there is
less activity than marks the preiim-
inaries FOR city primary
The knowledge that the success OF
the proposed amendment Will change
conditions only insofar as the law Will
be made constitutional instead OF sta
tutory. prevents the development OF
the best brand OF enthusiasm The de-
feat Of the amendment does not mean
the restoration Of the saloon now or at
any future time. The composition OF
the general assembly Is such that the
LIQUOR interests cannot win in Iowa
That should be understood.
Just at this time when prohibition
has been given national scope. an ad-
verse vote in Iowa would iHcite some
derision and would win little applause.
The proposition will be considered

be found in the amelioration of Argen-
tina's foreign troubles. or in something
more disturbing than that? 1t would
be foolish to jump to conclusions. But,
on the other hand, 1t might not always
be wise to insist upon seeing nothing
but the encouraging side OF the things
that German policy brings, to pass.

FROM A SCANDINAVIAN.

liars Bladine in Cedar Falls Record
Reports from Minnesota indicate
that many Swedes have Joined in
un American utterances and treason
able acts. 1t is known that among
certain classes of Swedes strong pro-
German leaning existed before the
break with the United States. If there
be any who now cherish this country's
enemy more than they do this, their
adopted country, they should be told
where to head in at without a mo-
ment's delay. We are inclined TO the
belief that there are not many such
but whenever one shows his traitorous
spirit he should be interned or hanged.

CONGRESS WAITING
 FOR FALL OF GAVEL
Only Two Important Measures
 Up Before Adjournment

Washington, Sept. 17.-With most all of the important legislation of the session either enacted or about to be disposed of, leaders in congress today set about the task of carrying out plans, tentatively fixed, for adjourn ment early in October. President Wilson has no new legislation to rec ommend and is said to be ready to have congress take a vacation. The house has about finished it's part of the legislative program but prompt action by the senate is necessary to carry out the adjournment plans. Only two big measures, the soldiers and sailors insurance and the ST. 900, 100000 war deficiency bill remain to be passed by the senate and it is expected that both will be expedited The deficiency bill, now in the house, probably will pass today.
 Three big measures. are in confer ence today with prospects of any early agreement on all of them. They are the war tax, the war bond and the trading with the enemy bills
 The senate and house conferees on the war tax bill carried their deliber- ations into the third day with pros poets that an agreement on a meas ure providing for levies of approxi- mately $2,5oOoOO, 1000 will be reached before the end of the week. Rapid progress is being made, about two- thirds of the bill already having been disposed of
 Minor matters again today occu- pied the attention of the conferees.
 Senate leaders began making plans today to pass the soldiers and sailors insurance bill before adjournment in accordance with President Wilson's request.
 A subcommittee will devote only one day-tomorrow-to hearings and it is expected to pass the bill next Monday or Tuesday, under a consent agreement and without resort to clo- ture.

Viscount Reading, lord chief justice Of England, arrived in American re- gently and began series of confer ences with officials having to do with the conduct of the war. He saw Sec retary Lansing and Secretary McAdoo and was closeted with members of the British munitions board.
 Everything that could be learned concerning the visit of the lord chief justice indicates that his mission to this country has more importance than was gathered from a statement made in New York that it had to do With finance. Lord Reading will re- main in Washington for consider able length of time and will consult not only officials of the treasury, but those concerned in diplomacy and other activities relating to the war Lord Reading has taken a house in Washington, which has been leased for a month.

SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS,
New Britain Has Only 2S Actively
 Practicing Physicians.

It is being intimated that there is a shortage of actively practicing physicians in New Britain and should the government decide to draft many of the doctors the community would be at a serious disadvantage.
 It is said that at the present time New Britain has only 28 actively prac- ticing physicians, excluding special 1sts or those who attend only to cer- tain ailments. Some statisticians have stated that in every community there should be one doctor for every 1000 inha bitants and if this be so it is plain to be seen that New Britain has no more physicians to spare.
 The New Britain Medical society will meet at 8:30 D. m. Wednesday in the chamber of commerce rooms to make several appointments and to transact other business.

INVESTIGATING NOTORIOUS CASE
Elm City Officials Looking Up Record of Grano Borgia.

Assistant States Attorney Pickett of New Haven county and an Italian court interpreter were in this city today gathering facts concerning Grano Borgia who was arrested in Derby last August charged with "white slavery"
 The case has a local coloring, Bor- gia being among the gang who were captured in the police coup in an alleged notorious rendezvous on Elm street, for which the alleger keeper, Mrs. Mario Kato, and the frequenters were held for trial in the coming term of the superior court. Borgia succeeded in securing a bondsman at the time and it was only a short time latter that he was captured again, charged with a more serious of fense.

REEKS TO RECONSIDER.
RumOr Has It That Superintendent
 May Continue in Office.

It was unotficially rumored about City hall today that Dr. T. E. Reeks, superintendent of the health depart ment who has resigned his office, effective October 1, to become affili- ated with the state board of health as the doctor directly tn charge of all cpidemlcs, may yet reconsider his action and continue 10 serve the city Concerning such a ru1nor pr. Reels had no comment to make.
 Should pr. Reel>s decide to recon sider his action and continue in charge of the local health department which he has brought into such an efficient machine, the public understands that it will be at personal sacrifice and only because of his unselfishness and public spiritedness.
 Although pr. Reeks' resignation has already been accepted and he has signed a contract to enter the states service, it is thought possible that should he desire it he could be re- leased from the contract

HEAVY RECESSION
 IN STOCK MARKET
Decline Begins Early and Be.
 comes Plunge by Noon

Wall Street-After an irregular opening today the market declined, with a resumption of professional sell ing. There were indications also of further liquidation, especially in St. Paul, which, falling 2 points, made a new low record for the movement of 57 5-S. The shipping shares were again under pressure, and Marine pre- ferred, 1 3-4, Bethlehem Steel, which recedcd IA, Texas company, beet sugar, Air Brake and Central Leather were conspicuously heavy. The cop pers also developed marked weakness selling well under Saturdays low fig ures.
 Stocks were offered in quantity and the market became distinctly weak. Selling came from speculative sources, but there was also a large increase in liuuidations. Many new records for the movement were reached. Bethle- hem Steel fell nearly 6 points to 94 1-2. Inspiration was off 3 points at AT. Steel sold off ? 5-S to 104 1-2. Representative railroad shares like St.. Paul, which dropped points to 56 1-o Reading, Canadian Pacific, Louis- vtlle, Delaware and Hudson and Nor thern Pacific lost 1 to 3 points. Bonds were easy. Liberty bonds sold at 99.9S to 100.
 A pause in the selling was fol- lowed by another surge downward, in which United States Steel reached 1G3 34 and Bethlehem 93 7-8. The spreading of labor troubles, rumors of the possible reduction in copper divi- dends and the uncertainty as to war taxes and prices fixing kept buyers out of the market.
 Closing-The liquidation movement seemed to have run it's course for the time being, and the bears began to bid for stocks to cover Prices rallied one to two points in the last hour, but speculation came almost to a halt on the rise. The closing was irregular. Liberty bonds sold at 99.98 to 100. Sales approximated 675,000 shares.

cialist leader, was the chief speaker at a meeting attended by 15,000 so- cialists. At the conclusion of the ad- dress, the following resolution was presented.
 Events of the last few days show how the leading circles of Germany ruthlessly have misused the careless confidence of the two Swedish conser- vative governments which directed the policy of Sweden during the war period.
 This meeting, therefore, empha- sizes the determination to maintain a correct neutrality which is felt by all the Swedish people. We realize with indignation the humiliation that our good name has been jeopardized by the conduct of a few men. Ob- viously the nations fortunes cannot continue in the hands of these few men who favor such systems and methods"
