there was. and the name OF the play

nephew went inside

Iowans are going TO keep a close
watch on the neighbors in Illinois The

more than 1900 miles of permanent
road. and without cent Of added cost

cerned. is sure TO prove popular IL
will have 10 be submitted to the people
in 1918, but as there is no added tax
to be paid, there will be little II any
opposition.
The plan Is TO make the auto owners
pay for the good roads. And the auto
owners realize the need of good roads,
and are therefore willing and anxious
TO pay that tax. The auto folks are
behind the movement.
No doubt, plan OF that kind would
be feasible and popular in Iowa. we
have been taxing the auto here, and
we have gotten handsome amounts in
this manner, for which we have had
the minimum of results II appears
as il the Iowa law had been framed
with the one object of preventing real
road improvement. The money is COL
lected by the state, and then sent 10
the counties, and by them distributed
among the townships. It seems as II
any way that could possibly be devised
would be a better way. And 1t might
be the height Of wisdom to try that
illinois plan in Iowa.

SAFE. SANE AND DRY.

On July the people of this terri
tory will enter upon another year OF
our national independence In the midst
OF another experiment-that OF bone
dryness. There Is prevailing conti-
dence that everything will erentuate
we'll. There is a belief that double
r;yeted prohibition will be accepted n
philosophically as-for instance
democratic administration. Excep; for
those individuals who are concerned
about anticipating the thirsts OF July,
August and sundry succeeding months.
the approach of the drouth is a mat
ter Of only the mildest interest. Like
the summer solstice. it is held TO be in
the natural order of things.
OF the days Immediately preceding
the wet seasons end not much in the
way Of glazed dryness is TO be claimed
In South Dakota. northwest Iowa and
northeast Nebraska there has been and
is general filling up. Cellars are being
stocked with everything drinkable OK

we ought to drink. The sellers OF kegs
and the dispensers Of bottles are har-
yesting. regardless Of the presence or
the shamefaced absence OF the sun
And, all in all, II Is being done good
humoredfy There has been, SO far as
Sioux City and its environs are con-
cerned, no signs Of disorder Fears OF
the police that orgies and disturbances
would develop have not appeared well
grounded: and the police, Of course, are
glad of that There seems reason to
hope that the passing of John Barley
corn in South Dakota, will be accom-
plished in as gentlemanly fashion
as it was done some time since in
Iowa In that case it may again be said
Of him that nothing in life so became

John longer can hope for IL an epitah
full Of charity.
After the closure Of the Dakota grog-
geries at midnight. Saturday It Is to be
expected that bootlegging will have It's
fling. The ordinary psychological slim
ulus will increase the demand for
Liquor. The hidden supplies will grow
steadily less. In little while this
phase will pass. Instead OF being freer
Illicit selling Of liquor will be more
restricted A people never composed
largely OF inebriates will become more
sober from week to week The periodi-
cal excursions to Minnesota, as long az

constitutional amendment the prohibit
ton statute that now is in force thru

WEST AND EAST.
TDeS noines Regisyer,i

Not only have eight western states
been the first to raise their quota for
the new army. but nearly all the states
which have raised over half of their
quota are western states.
If an investigation were made of the
eastern enlistments, it would probably
be discovered that they consist princi-
pally of foreign born citizens, or young
men of foreign parentage.
The fine old colonial stock Of the east
doesn't seem to have much virility when
action is concerned, but it is splendidly

enough funds and students to make its

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS
(By the Public Safety Commission)

(By the PUBIC SaIety COnInlSSIon)
An outstanding feature of the second Liberty Loan
campaign the amount of bonds sold, is the
it has indicated beyond doubt that people Of
German descent to the conclusion that the
parting the ways has come for them, between the
Glove of the Fatherand" the duty that they owe to
this land which has done much for them
they and their children will continue 10
live and their home after the is over and
worldwide, everlasting peace has been established
In many German communities the subscription to
the bonds very and seized upon as an
opportunity proving their loyalty to indicate that
they felt interest in the the future welfare
of our country and to indicate they feel personal
interest part and parcel of our great ma
ton Many also realizing that in buying bonds they
are doing something free their beloved Father-
land" from the iron rule of ruthless mitarism and
war crazed autocracy They realize that if they
can help United States to victory it means the same
freedom liberty for those of their relatives and
friends who are in the "old country"
Reports the State Safety Commission on the loan
indicated great change of sentiment among people OF
German descent along these lines and the raising of
money for war purposes along these lines had
derful effect in uniting stimulating patriotic senti
ment everywhere.
1t might be said that the parting of the ways
should months ago, but when realize the
fact that the great problem of the has been the
of sentiment for the from the ground
apparent that nation has had quite
a it's hands.
We have in a few short months what has taken
Germany years. with most cunning and intricate sys
tenn of propaganda in full operation working every mo
ment.
result of the second campaign therefore has
been rich in results educational influence and in
bringing people of German descent to clear and
