PAY UP OR NO BUSINESS.

We reckon the bolsheviki will think at least
once more before proceeding to repudiate the
bonded debts Of Russia, even though the burden
of paying off eleven billions seems impossible
to carry. More than any other government in
the world, the bolsheviki are dependent upon
the goodwill of the commercial nations with
whom it will have to do business when the war
is over, upon whom it must depend for capital
to develop Russian resources, and from whom it
must draw the technical and commercial lead
ers necessary for Russian progress. Russian
bonds must be pretty well distributed through
out the monied nations of the world. France
is especially well supplied with them. We have
some and even Germany cannot be without
them. The sure way to ALLEVIATE friendliness is
Iby reputation of Observation-Disclosures of
treaty or of finance. The bolshevild have al
ready torn up the pact of Paris, but we doubt if
lthey try to tear up their bonded debt.

THE NEW DIPLOMACY.

1t would appear that the Austrian govern
ment desired some sort Of conference on the
strength Of which it could tell its people that
the allies were making overtures Of peace. A
meeting in Switzerland was therefore arranged
at which noted diplomat of the dual kingdom
should have an interview with representative
of the entente; and General Jan Christian
SHUTS, the distinguished South African soldier
and statesman, was sent by the British govern
ment He asked the Austrian diplomatist,
Count Dietrichstein, if it was true that his gov
eminent wished to make separate peace Get
ting a long -winded, rambling, evasive answer,
he repeated his question; and when the count
made it clear that he had come there to paaver
and fence and dodge the ISSUE the general broke
off the interview by bidding him a curt good
night
This seems to be such basis as there was for
Count Czernin' s claim which Premier Clemen-
ceau denounced as lie, that the allies had
made overtures for peace. The incident may be
taken also as marking the transition from the
old, crooked, disingenuous deceitful and I'M
scrupulous diplomacy of the past to the honor

THE DEATH SENTENCE.

Henri Chapelle, of the Vigilantes:
There may be strong opposition to
the proposed death-penalty for espion-
age. Humane sentiment, of course.
But it should not be forgotten that
the death-sentence has been pronounc.
ed widely of late. The enemy has
pronounced it upon whole peoples and
for us 1t will be executed as fast as
the enemy can reach us, upon men,
women and children alike. Is this
doubted? One need only think of the
girls burned to death in the Eddy
stone explosion, and the seamen
drowned every day from merchant
ships. If there is any worse form OF
death it is that hurled upon unsuspect-
ing victims in sudden accidents.
Privations Of food, heat, and COM
forts, are also deliberately calculated
by the enemy to kill off more of our
worthless brood.
The boys who have been armed and
who have marched away to defy this
universal death and possibly stop its
rayage. are the happiest Of us all in
spite of poison gas and shrapnel
Their work is grim but they at least
have the joy Of resisting to the utmost
and playing the part of men. not
slaves nor trapped animals. II they
must die, they go with their hearts
yet strong and their spirits unbroken
II their efforts fail, the rest of US
may think upon death as in Armenia
Serbia and Poland.
In this situation does it seem worth
while to Great a privileged class, espe
cially protected, OF alien enemfe:
whose lives shall be preserved at the
cost of ours? Spies might better take
their share of the general death sen
tence.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In the
meantime we must not forget the
Thrift stamps. OF these the Iowa
quota has not been all taken, but we
have the reatNof the year to take them
in. But we will and can absorb them.
Traer StarsClipper: We give space
this week to rather lengthy editorial
from the Tama Herald endorsing Gov
ernor Harding for a second term The
Herald openly opposed Mn Harding
two years ago. We confess the Star
Clipper was not very enthusiastic over
his candidacy. We are like the Herald
editor. The governor has proved a
much better officer than we antici-
pated.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
My. my! The way Iowa responded to
the third Liberty loan call! But why
not? Iowa has the money and the
spirit and has decided that the kaiser
must have the everlasting daylights
whaled out of him, and is ready to put
other things off until this important
job is over with.
Hampton Chronicles: A dining car
patron was making disturbance be-
cause he had to pay 60 cents for three
slices Of bacon. That's only 20 cents
a slice, and allowing forty-eight slives
to the pound, 1t amounts to only $3.50
per pound. Some unthinking and un-
reasonable people probably look on
such prices as profteering-even on a
dining car.
Des Moines Register: Nobody seems
disposed to mourn the passing OF
April.
Sioux City Journal: Secretary Baker
told the convention of publishers that
while in France he saw sights which
made his blood run cold. But what
was needed was something to raise
the temperature.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Spain has
decided to make a holiday Of October
II, Colum bus day. We don't know
why the Spaniards picked that day.
They didn't really discover America
until the day Dewey steamed into
Manila bay.

SAVE TIME FITTING CHAINS
Experienced Motorist Will Drape II
Over Wheel-Much Cleaner Way
Of Doing Job.

The novice jacks up his wheel to put
on chnin-not SO the experienced
motorist. There are two ways of up
plying the chain. One is to drape it
over the wheel; the other is to lay 1t
on the ground and run the car over
It.
The latter method, apart from the
difficulty Of steering in straight over
something you cannot see has the add
ed disadvantage that the chain on q
muddy road is in bad condition to
handle. So drape it over the wheel
md you will have much cleaner job.
