ENFORCE THE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE.

Within months not so far distanct in the
past that they are beyond memory a city coun-
Gil of Keokuk adopted and promulgated resolu-
tons putting in force ordinance that would, if
observed, safeguard the limbs and lives OF
pedestrians This ordinance had reference to
the rules governing the action Of owners of au-
tomobiles or controllers Of such vehicles in the
'course Of the cars operation along the thor
Ioughfares of this city. An occasional arrest
and mild fine of offenders does not satisfy
What is expected by those who are put in dan
ger of being run down and mutilated is that
such punishment shall be accorded as will be
an example and so implanted as to act as a de-
fterrant to near-slaughter of humanity. Ii
cense is allowed in too much measure. MAR,
street and other thoroughfares have become
ways on which races are staged, and that no
one has been killed or injured is doubtless due
more to possible victims activity than to the
Icarefulness of drivers.

TODAY,S BIT OF VERSE
THE WATER THAT HAS PASSED.

Listen to the water mill,
Through the livelong day.
How the clanking of the wheels
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood leaves
From the fields the reapers sing,
Binding up the sheaves;
And a proverb haunts my mind
AS spell is cast:
THE mill will never grind
With the water that has passed"
Take the lesson to myself,
Living heart and true;
Golden years are fleeting by,
Youth Is passing, too;
Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day;
Time will never bring thee back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while life shall last;
"The mill will never grind
With the water that has passed"
ooh, the wasted hours of life
That have drifted by;
Oh, the good we might have done,
Lost without sigh;
Love that we might once have saved
BY a single word.
Thoughts conceived but never penned,
Pershing unheard,
Take the proverb to thine heart,
Take! Oh, hold it fast!-
1.-The mill will never grind
With the water that has passed"

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Attorney General Havner has issued
orders to county attorneys to let ur
on the blue law prosecutions. And
folks are wondering what 1t was be-
gun for If it were so soon to be done
| for.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: The de-
cision not to call the state legislature
| in extra session is most commendable
both on the part of the governor and
on the part of the state defense coun-
! Gil. 1t would cost a hundred thouS-
and dollars to get the talkfest under
way and 1t might cost more to get
rid of it. We would better spend
| that money for other and better puFr
poses. The governor and the state
council with which he has surround
ed himself, composed of the best men
in the state, ought to be ample Tor
all the needs.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Iowa gave
much more than the million, which
was expected of her for the Red Cross
society. Did somebody say something
was the matter with Iowa and the
middle west? Nothing whatever the
matter with Iowa "She is all right.
Sioux City Journal: Even If a
million men had sprung to arms over
night, Mr.. Bryan can now see plainly
that they couldn't have been equipped
for a good many months of days and
nights.
Waterloo Courier: The hands that
guide the plow will likely save the
world.
Perry Chief: One of the most over
worked words in the English language

MISSED THE POINT.

The case for the railroads, as seen by most
persons who read the arguments in support of
the petition for fifteen per cent. freight rate
advance was viewed in a different light by the
interstate commerce commission. We must

concerning the effect of permission to file
tariffs increasing joint rates between rail and
water carriers and for an estimate of the degree
| of encouragement to be found in the clear init
nation that the commission will permit an in
crease in class rates in the eastern district be-
tween New York and Chicago The out
lstanding feature of the decision is the rejection
Of the plan for horizontal increase, and the
public will share the disappointment of the

OUR TROOPS IN FRANCE

Glimpscs OF Lighter Side of Life i'm
the American Army Training

Washington. Nov. Something
of the lighter side of life in the
American army in France that re-
veals the high morale of the soldiers
was told to Red Cross workers bv
Charles ID. Norton, OF the Red Cross
war council, who has just returned
from France
Our troops in France are in high
spirits" Mr.. Norton said. "They
are keen to fight. A group OF Santa
re railway engineers got into a hot
quarrel with group of Union Pa
citic men, and the Red Cross nurse
who took them of to the hospital in
an ambulance said: Why do you
fight each other; why don't you wait
and fight the Germans?'
That's the trouble. miss: there
amt any Germans here was the re-
ply.
The French enjoy humor. and
they have had little occasion to
laugh during the past three years.
"All along the line heard French
officers laughing at the antics of the
men of one of our regiments.
"On leaving their ship, instead OF
Pullman cars, or comfortable Ameri-
can day coaches. they found on the
dock freight cars, marked For 90
men or eight beasts Instantly
each carload OF troops adopted the
character of an animal and as they
passed through the stations crowded
with welcoming Frenchmen, one car
would burst into bleating like sheep
another would whinny like horses
or moo like cattle"

The Lancaster News Starts To-
baccO Fund Here i'm National
Movement.
REQUIRES A BUG AMOUNT
A Quarter Pays For Package
That Will Keep a Soldier Con-
tented a Week-The Tobacco
Is Bought at Cost.

The Lancaster News begins today
the campaign for the national move
ment "Our Boys in France Tobacco
Fund" Two hundred newspapers
and magazines have already entered
in the work and the plan has been
endorsed by the secretary Of war and
secretary of the navy, also by the
governors OF Arizona. Colorado. Con-
necticut, Florida, Indiana, Maryland,
Michigan. Nebraska, Nevada. New
Jersey. New York. Ohio. Oregon,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Yer
mont, West Virginia, Wyoming
The only part The News plays in
the campaign is to give publicity to
it, solicit and receive contributions
and forward same to headquarters
III New York. The tobacco is bought
at cost from the leading manufac-
turers, and every cent contributed
goes for tobacco. No one profits but
the fighting man.
1t will be absolutely impossible to
raise money enough to furnish our
soldiers all the tobacco they need.
When America has 100000 men in
the trenches, it would require s125,-
600 a month to give each one a
package a month. But what is sent
will help to keep the boys CON
tented.
Each package which costs a quar-
ter has a retail value of As cents.
Every person who contributes a
quarter will receive message from
an American fighting man. In each
package is packed a postcard bear
ing the name and address of the per-
son who contributed the 25 cents to
pay for the tobacco. To show his
gratitude, the soldier receiving the
tobacco will write a message on the
card and send it to the friend who
furnished smokes for week
Where possible contributions from
section will be sent to the soldiers
from that section.
Anyone who contributes quar-
ter sends one package, one who con-
tributes a dollar sends four packages
Anyone may contribute one or two
cigars. or rather the cost of one or
two cigars. in order that our boys
lover there" may have tobacco
A list of contributors will be
the first list to be printed next Fri
day. Who will be the first contribu-
tor?
