IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

. rs & . t
Why should minister or a student
preparing for the ministry be exempt
from conscription?" inquiries the Iowa
city Republican. The Republican does
not consider preacher one whit bet
ter tnan other people, and as for ex-
empting divinity students, 1t would do
thern good to have little common
sense hammered into them. Some of
the best ministers Iowa has ever had

The state attorney general should

Grundy Democrat He said he would
enforce the laws TO the letter that the
legislature made and II is up to him
to do 1t. 1t is only putting the laws
to the test that the people learn what
they are and whether the men who
made them should be retained in Of

FOR LAW. IMPROVEMENT.
TCedar Falls Record.

II should never be necessary to
apologize for enforcing the law. II a
law is manifes,ly unjust when viewed
should be repealed forthwith. There
should be no hesitation about over
turning precedent when q harmful or
unjust law is being considered. There
are too many laws that are not being
enforced, too many that really should
not be enforced, too many that have
outgrown their usefulness.
Every municipality. every state,
and every nation has such laws. That
they are still on the statute books
Is largely because Of the fact that the
lega mind has long been trained to
value precedent. The world progresses
BY overturning precedent. Cities pro-
gress in the same way.
If Cedar F'alis has any laws that
need revision or that should be elm
mated now is good time TO begin
the work of law house cleaning Let's
get on the right track and stay right.
Right now Is a good time TO give q
good. thorough overhauling of our
musty ordinance book. 1t probably
leeds lots of revision. There are prob
ably lot OF laws that have outlived
their usefulness. Let us cut out the
obsolete and retain only the practical.
Let US probe our ordinances thorough
~, then enforce every one. A spring
ciean-up along this line would be in
order.

lDes Moines Capital]
During the great American civil war
people learned what Substitutes were.
Men who were drafted sent substitutes
to the army. When genuine coffee
could not be had, there were substitute
| coffees made out Of grains. When sugar
and molasses were out OF reach, the re-
sourceful American discovered sor-
ghum. Sorghum mills were frequently
seen near the front yards Of many
homes in the country. Sorghum mo-
lasses was made from the juice of cane.
and the juice was boiled In big watts
FOR kettles outdoors. The young people
who were still at home would gather
at these sorghum hcilings and convert
| labor into society. Sorghum was some
times boiled until 1t was thick, and
then 1t was drawn out into ropes OF
| candy. Sorghum was substitute In
sweetness. It Is related that there are
many OF these old sorghum mills In
existence yet 1t is also strange fact
that the once substitute sorghum is
now q delicacy, sold at a high price
higher than the New Orleans molasses.
During the war the white shirt front
could no longer be supported by the
young men; hence there was intro-
duced not only paper collars, but paper
shirt fronts. A survivor Of the civil
war complains that there lie nothing
i wrong with the old white paper shirt
front excepting that tobacco showed
TOO plainly upon ii. THESE Substitute IS
for cotton were caused by the blockade
OF southern ports. and the shutting on,
OF cotton from the north. The confed-
crates had more substitutes and had
/ to resort to more ingenuity than the
people OF the north. But both sections
OF the country learned what hardships
were, and at the same time theJ
learned how resourceful the people
could be in distress
| When the reader Is thinking OF Ger
many or Great Britain being starved, i
would be well to remember that ma
i ITEMS and people have been known z
live two and three years after they
were supposed to be starving.

Washington, July 24.-There was be-

diplomatic conferences, at which the
diplomatic representatives OF the En-
tente powers accredited to Washington
and the heads of the various Allied
purchasing missions were present TO
discuss urgent questions relating to the
Allies cooperation with the United

of these conferences will not be made

that they do not concern diplomatic re-

No representatives of the United

II was thought that the meetings would
be held daily for several days, but that
they would not be regularly called

concerning the Allies and their pur-
chase of supplies in the United States.

Convention Delegates
Are Not Optimistic
Of SolDing Problem0

Dublin, July 24.-Not very sanguine
hopes of success for the Irish Con-
vention, about to assemble here, are
expressed by the many delegates who
already have arrived to attend the
gathering. There was a plenteous eX-
preston of good will toward the un-
dertaking, however. In the opinion Of
a leading official, given in a talk with
the correspondent, it will take less
than a week 10 decide whether this
effort is to prove abortive. On the
other hand. il is known that the gov
ernment was influenced in choosing the
place of meeting by the fact that {
would be able to retain occupancy for
more than three months of the place
selected.
Henry E. Duke, the Chief Secretary
for Ireland, will open the convention.
