Criticisms Of the farmers of the ma
ton for apparent apathy toward the
Liberty Loan and efforts to get exemp-
ton from military service have been
made recently. 1t is now up to the
farmers" themselves to show the world
that this criticism was uncalled for,
that they are as patriotic as their
predecessors in these agricultural pur-
suits and the only way to do this to
the satisfaction OF the government and
the public is for the farmer to sub
scribe heavily Of his new found wealth,
gained from bumper crops raised this
past season. and to enter the National
army cheerfully when called upon by
the authorities.
Food is one thing that the United

increasing quantities if Germany is to
be overwhelmed, and that is what this
country went into the war to do. Sue

raise big crops and invest his well
earned profits in Liberty bonds which
are to be reinvested by the govern
ment for supplies purchased right here
in America, success will be doubly
easy.
Don't get sore at the solicitors and
statesmen for the bonds. They're doing
your work. Make it easy for them.
Let's hurry up and get this thing
over.

LIQUOR BACK IN POLITICS.
TDes Moines Register.]


While the legal status Of the saloon
in Iowa Is not changed by Mon days
vote, everybody will recognize that liq-
uor has assumed an entirely new rela-
ton to politics as a result Of the vote.
The saloon is az much prohibited now
as 1t was before. but Iowa's policy for
the future, which everybody supposed
wss fixed, is now very much open to
question.
1t will be well for everybody to ees
clearly in mind just what has hap
pened. The defeat Of the amendment
has not changed a line Of the Iowa law.
We still have statute that prohibits
the sale Of liquor. The defeat Of the
amendment has not modified In any
way the prohibition Of the national law
which keeps liquor out OF dry states.
In so far as the immediate future Is

BOOZE BACK INTO POLITICS.
TBoone News Republican,

The result can not be taken as Q
mandate to the legislature to restore
the saloon. The voters Of Iowa have
decided that they do not want to COM
NIT themselves irrevocably to the
policy of prohibition, and therefore,
have decided to leave it with the leg
islature, where it now remains, in
stead OF sewing it up tighter into the
constitution, where it would remain
indefinitely, whether it was success
fully enforced, or whether it became
a hy-word like the prohibition OF
Maine. That the dfeat Of the amend
ment will re-introduce the question or
liquor into politics no one can deny,
but the result is the verdict of the
people and will stand. The saloon is
still a matter of police regulation in
Iowa, and each legislature will have TO
work out its own salvation on the
question.

GOVERNOR HARDING AND GooI
ROADS.
[Sioux City Tribune.1

tSioux City Trtbune.J
During the campaign last year, Gov
fernor Harding INDUCED in many merry
quips at the expense Of the state high
way commission. Inferentially, at least
he questioned the ability Of the mem
bers Of that board to give service to
the public in proportion to the fees
consumed. These sarcasms drew the
support of many farmers turnout the
state to Mr.. Harding. They also
brought the Iowa Taxpayers League
into the Harding camp.
James w. Holden has been mem
Der of the state highway commission
since the creation of the board. He
assumed office on July l, 1913. schd-
uled for term of four years. That
term expired on July /, 1917. Now the
news announcement fiutters out from
Des Moines that Mr.. Holden has been
appointed for a second term as MEM
Der of the commission. Governor Hard
ing either re-appointed Mr.. Holden
three months ago, and has delayed
making the announcement. or had been
holding up the appointment for reasons
best known to himself. The fact re
mains that Governor Harding will con-
tinue the same kind of highway
commission, under the same manage
ment, as the one which furnished him
food for much campaign sarcasm last
year.
The Tribune has no quarrel with
James w. Holden or with the state
highway commission. 1t has frequently
commended, and repeats now, that one
competent highway engineer would be
worth more to the state than the three
political commissioners none of whom
had any special knowledge OF road
building at the time of assuming office.
Whether they have or have not pro-
crossed materially in road building
knowledge in the meantime, 1t is
worthy of note that they have shown
wonderful capacity in the way OF ex-
tending the number of employees In
their department. At the present time
the force is made up as follows. add
tional to the three commissioners:
Administrative department = Chief
engineer, chief clerk. bulletin editor,
clerk, two stenographers.
Special Observation-Disclosures en-
giner and stenographer.
Bridge Observation-Disclosures engineer,
assistant bridge engineer structural
engineer assistant engineer, consult
ing engineer. stenographer.
Road department-Chief engineer,
four assistant road engineers, stenog-
rapher. .-
Drafting department - Chief drafts
man, Ave draftmen, designer, clerk.
Specials-Ffve district engineers, one
drainage engineer for drainage, one
drainage engineer for drainage1nvesti-
cations. ...
The highway commission, 1t should
be borne in mind, does not do any road
building. 1t provides the Atmosphere,
the enthusiasm and the general pose
all of which are important in their
way Being allowed a percentage OF
the annual automobile licenses, the
highway comission has working fund
Of $50 900 a year. About the only way
it can use all Of this fund is to take
on employees and more employees.
But aside from all this. the inter
esting point is that Governor Harding
reappointed J. W. Holden as member
of the highway commission Senator
J. r. Doran, Of Boone, certainly never
expected anything like that.

There must be an enormous readjust-

majority ot twenty two. Fifteen
OF them are Democrats, thirty.
eight ct them dre Republicans.
The thirty one votes in opposlt-

This IS not a partisan matter;

noting that every Republican
who voted was in favor OF the
committee. and every vote again
st it was cast bv Il Democrat.
The vote Indicates tnat the Re-
publicans of the Senate are IN
favor OF lending TO the President
the complete cO-operatium of
their party IN the strenuous work
of carrying ON a foreign war,
that one-third of the Democrats
welcome such cooperation, and

reject it. 1t will be reprehensible

RUSSIANS RETREAT
ACROSS The BORDER
LOYAL TROOPS COMPELLED TO
GIVE GROUND BEFORE
STRONGER FORCES.
French Troops in the Aisne Region
Have Turned in Vicious Counterat-
tacks Against the Army Of the
German Crown Prince.

Having retreated distance of APP
proXimately 100 miles from where
kerensky, the iron man of Russia,
carried them in his personally con-
Quoted drive early in the present
month, the Russian army on the CEN
ter of the line in east Galicia is again
on Russian soil on both sides of
Husiatyn, and is still being followed by
the forces of the Teutonic allies.
Likewise the armies TO the north and
south continue to fall back before the
enemy. Wherever the faithful troops
attempt to give battle they are har-
rassed by numerically stronger forces
of the Teutons and compelled to give
ground, receiving no assistance from
their reculcitrant former brothers-in-
arms, whose main effort continues to
be to get out of striking distance Of
the enemy.
Evidently the preparations for the
4blood and IRON policy of the govern
ment against the dissaffected troops
shortly viii be put INTO full force, for
Minister of War Kercnsky is on his
way to the Russian headquarters,
there to confer with the military lead
ers to formulate plans to stay the re-
treat and compel the troops to stand
and face the foe as the Russians in
the southern Carpathinn region are
doing. Down along this latter front
the Russians, aided by the Rumainians,
continue to force the Teutonic allies to
cede ground, especially In the upper
| Putna valley.
French troops in the Aisne region
/ have turned in vicious counter-attacks
against the army of the German crown
prince, put down nm offensive 1t had
started between Hurtebise and La
Boyelie, and made good gains against
1t all along the line. Several attacks
by the Germans in the Verdun sector
We're repulsed. The progress in Fan-
ders for more than a week continues
unabated.
In the air the machines of Great
Britain and Germany are carrying out
maneuvers never before seen. AS an
Indication of the intensity Of these
aerial combats, thirty German air
planes We're accounted for in the latest
fighting, in addition to two observation
balloons. The British war office ad-
mits that thirteen of the royal air
/ squadron failed 10 return to their
| bases. The German war office asserts,
however, that thirty-tive British planes
We're shot down.
