A VALID OBJECTION.

While the railway executives advisory com
mittee has approved in the main the draft of
contract to be executed by the government and
the roads, the National Association OF Owners
of Railroad Securities finds the proposals un-
acceptable in certain particulars. Several objec-
tons to the draft are raised, and an effort will
be made to secure amendments before adoption
of the instrument One objection, which seems
to be valid, relates to the maintenance of rail-
road property while under government control
The proposed contract provides that disputed
questions of upkeep shall be referred to the
interstate commerce commission, whose decis-
ion shall be final except on questions of law.
This, the association says, might place the is
sue of the financial life or death of company
in the hands of the commission without the
right of review. Altogether reasonable is the
suggestion that the commissions conclusions
be subject to the review of a judicial tribunal
on questions of fact as well as of law. It would
be serious mistake to give unrestricted au-
thority to board which made unwise use of its
power when the roads needed the cooperation
of the government.

NO STRIKES ALLOWABLE.

Christian Science Monitor: An a2.
parent tendency toward the. revival
of strikes is observable here and
there throughout the United States,
despite the legislation enacted and
the extraordinary moral influence
recently exerted to prevent further
resort to this method of adjusting
disputes between employers and EN-.
ployees, especially during the war.
The emergency confronting the
nation demands that they shall turn
from the old methods to the new.
Suspension of essential industry. at
the present stage of things, is an
offense against the nation and
against civilization. II the disputants
will not voluntarily submit their dit.
ferences for adjustment, in accord.
ance with the methods devised by
the government, and in response to
the presidents urgent appeal, then
the matter should be taken out OF
their hands and settled for them.
While the war lasts, no strikes are
allowable.

LET US BE A BIT MODEST.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Let u,
be bit modest and not think that
the Americans did it all on the west.
ern front. They did lot, but 1t is
still only little compared with wha,
the French did who held nearly sixty
miles while we held perhaps only
six. We must not exaggerate our.
selves. We might make our boasting
offensive to our allies, the allies who
have borne the brunt Of this war and
who have prepared the way for the
victory that we are now going to
help. Our help is quite essential.
We know that. But what the allies
are continuing to do is still more
essential. Without US they probably
could not go ahead. But what would
we be like without them? No, let
us honor ourselves and our men at
the front not by Boosting Of what
we have done or are going to do, but
by praising those with whom we are
associated, our co-beIligerents, who
have already done ten times as much
as we can ever hope to do in this
war-they at great costs to them
selves have worn the tremendous
German power down to the point
where it is now ,conquerable.

NEED AN EXPERIENCED MAN.

The most disturbing feature of enactment
and signing by the president of the wire control
resolution passed by both houses of congress
is the report of belief in Warrington that Post
master General Burleson will be called upon to
execute such powers as the president may use
under the measure. These powers are broad,
the executive branch of the government having
authority to supervise or take over all tele-
graph, telephone, cable, and radio systems for
the period of the war. The postmaster general
is not the man who should be given control of
the wires in case the president decides to act
under the resolution. His administration of
the postofice department leaves much to be de-
sired. It was said while this resolution was
the subject of debate in the senate that indus
trial enterprises throughout the country had
been handicapped by the lack of postal facilities
since the war began, and the belief ex-
pressed that what is true of inefficient postal
service will be true of wire communication
der government control If the president takes
the wires, he should name expert to manage
the system

THE SHADOW OF LUNACY.

The kaiser appears to have found his Boswell
in one Rosner, whose fulsome eulogies Of his
master are fed to the German people daily and
wired from Amsterdam to allied lands. But
other very different tales about the imperial
paranoiac leak out of Germany, some of which
are much more reasonable and credible than
Rosner's clarifying adulation. One of them is
told upon the authority of a German who has
left the fatherland where he was until two
months ago closely associated with the work
ing staff of the imperial palace at Berlin. He
represents the kaiser as falling into parox-
ysms of frightful rage at the mention Of Ameri-
ca, and as showing by his frantic rawlings and
imprecations on his enemies and his furious fits
of anger with his encourage that there is today
a tottering mind on Germany's throne.
Probably this is nearer the truth than Ros
ner's servile batteries which have every indi-
cation of being made to order. Even before the
war, and many times since, Wilhelm has given
evidence of paranoia; and it is not In the least
unlikely that his unhinged mentality has brok-
en- under the strain of the last four years. No
one is in position to see more clearly than he
the finger of Fate writing the doom of his dy
nasty upon the wall. No one knows better than
he that Herod and Judas and Nero are the only
men in history who can dispute his evil pre-
eminence as the most detested of mankind. It
is entirely credible therefore that his mind is
giving way, and recent news from Switzerland
that the grip has forced him to seek secluson
in his home points to the possibility that his
physical condition is serious and that the
shadow of lunacy may already rest on his dis
ordered brain.

TODAYs BIT OF VERSE

THE LOTUS THoNE-
Lord Buddha thy Lotus throne
With praying eyes and hands elate
What mystic rapture dost thou own
Immutable and ultimate?
What peace unravished by ken
Annihilate from the world of men?
The wind of change forever blows
Across the tumult Of way,
Tomorrow's unborn griefs depose
The sorrows of yesterday
Dream yields to dream, strife follows strife
And Death unweaves the web Of life.
For the travail and the heat,
The broken secrets Of our pride,
The strenuous lessons of defeat,
The flower deferred the fruit denied.
But not the peace, supTemey won,
Lord Buddha Of thy Lotus throne.
With futile hands we seek to gain
Our inaccessible desire
Dfv1ner SUBMITS to attain,
With faith that sinks and feet that tire
But nought shall conquer or control
The heavenward hunger of our soul
The end, elusive and afar.
Still lures with its reckoning flight
And all mortal moments
A session of the Infinite.
How shall reach the great unknown
Nirvana OF the Lotus throne?

When President Scherer, of Throop college,
resigned from the council of national defense,
he gave warning Of what would happen as
soon as Germany indicated that she was in a
mood to discuss peace. In his letter of resigna-
ton President Scherer wrote: '3Every pacifst;
every England hater, every open or secret pro-
German, every alf-baked socialist every
weak kneed sister in trousers or petticoats will
clamor for acceptance of the German proposal. -
There is reason to think that President Scherer
will be proved to have considerable justice for
his forecast

IOWA DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

The governor of Iowa should be a
leader and should be big enough to
grasp the full seriousness of the
worlds war: he should be possessed
OF such patriotism that he could dis
regard all partisan allegiance during
the war. We believe his support OF
Burton e. Sweet, Harry e. Hull, Gill
bert N. Haugen and G. W. Ramseyer,
who are candidates to congress from
this state, each of whom supported
Germany more often than he support
ed America, convicts him of insincer-
1ty and proves he is actuated by
blind spirit of partisanship.
We think the time opportune for
the state to offer it's credit along the
line of the farm loan act to the sol
diers Of the republic on their return
so that they may acquire their own
homes in Iowa on long time credit at
the lowest possible rate of interest
We endorse the action of CONGRESS
in submitting to the legislatures OF
the states the proposed amendment to
the federal constitution providing for
national prohibition, and favor such
action as may be legally necessary to
support our president thereon.
! We favor the speedy enactment OF
the pending federal amendment giving
equal franchise to women of the state
the democratic members of the state
Legislature of Iowa to ratify promptly
such amendment, and in recognition
Of the splendid work they are doing
In support of all war activities and be-
:1ieving in the principles Of equal suf-
frage, we invite them to participate
in the councils of our party.
We favor such amendment to the
primary election laws as will remove
lall existing evils as well as all oppor-
tunity for thwarting the will Of the
people in the selection of public Of
ffcials.
We take pride in presenting to the
people our candidate for governor,
Claude R. Porter. He is a lawyer of
great ability, as evidenced in his Sc
lection by the government for the
prosecution, in another state, of one
of the most important cases arising
within the present generation. He
possesses keen sense of responsible
lily and a lofty purpose to fulfill
his every duty in life. His large abil-
iity, clean personal character, high
ideals and supreme courage warrant
our confidence that careful consider
alton by the people in Iowa will result
in his election as governor.
