With them, should say some extra words of tenderness and give
unmista kable evidence of that love and reverence that beats in
every true heart, to their mothers. The grown man, the mature
man, or the daughter, is to be pitied who can not look back to
the old home when the shades of night begin to gather about

The sons and daughters who have had their mother taken from
them when they were tiny children and who have been denied
her sweet companionship and the benign influence of the rad1-
ance of her face and the daily manifestations of her love, have
forget that she speaks to them from the skies and that in due
time out of the Great Beyond, a voice will say to them, MY

so much in life to hurry us on. to keep us from thinking seI1-
that we can turn aside and mediate upon what mother was.

Where was our Junior Senator when the vote was taken
last Saturday on the Sedition bill in the Senate? The press re-
ports do not record him or Senator LaFollette as having voted
or as being paired. Was he opposed to the bill and was it the
fear of Mississippi that kept him from recording his disap-
prevail? Since there has been a protest of disapproval OF his
course from one end of the State to the other; it seems to have
been his rule to vote with the opponents of the administration
to amend or emasculate every administration measure possible,
and then on the final show down, to vote for the measure. BY
this rule of conduct, he undertakes to say. II am standing by the
President now" This is no time for fuking on the final test.
The Sediion bill is regarded as one of the most important
war measures that has been before Congress since war was de-
clared.

NO CONTESTS IN IOWA AND MICHIGAN.

The Democratic organizations in the states of Iowa and
Minnesota have periodically announced that they would put
out no opposition candidates to Senators Kenyon and Nelson,
Republicans. This action upon the part Of the party organiza-
ton in these two states is in accord with the wishes of the lead
ing Democrats of the country and with the ideas of President
Wilson. It is understood that the Democratic leaders think this
is no time for intense political campaigns, especially in those
states where the Senator or congressman has been loyal to the
administration. Of course where senators and congressman
have not coordinated with the administration and have by their
acts caused the Germans to think that the country is not heart
and soul behind the President, there is nothing else to be done
except to go before the people with the facts and then they will
do the rest.

FIRE LOSS IN
STATE LARGE
EXCEEDS 1916 BY $1,000 900, &C
CORDING TO MARSHAL
ROE

Des Moines, Feb. 2O.-The Iowa fire
loss of 1917 exceeded that Of 1916 by
more than $1,O00,O0O, according to
compilations of figures just completed
by Ole o. Roe, state fire marshal.
The total fire loss in Iowa in 1917
was $7,216,245, while that of 1916 was
$5.99l PAP. Seven fires, the loss re-
sulting from each Of which exceeded
100000, took place in 1917. The total
loss of these fires amounted to 81, 1885,
426. :,
"The 1917 fire loss was very heavy,
says Roe, especially during the first
part of the year. There was a loss
of $4,000 in January, $4,000 in
February, s622,000 in March and $6O7, :
900 in April. Then there seemed TO
be a lull in the destruction until
August, which closed with loss OF
ss04, 600"
The loss in October was $624,o0O. in
November $673,000 and December
closed the year with the heaviest
loss Of all, 1899 900.
Des Moines, during 1917, was visit
ed by a series Of the most destructive
fires that have taken place here since
the fire marshals office was estao-
l;shed, the total fire loss for the city
amounting to $1,015,00O. The excess
of the loss of the state as whole
during 1917 over that of 1916 is large
" accounted for by tRis excessive loss
in Des Moines.
But consideration should also be
given" Roe says, ITO the fact that
practically every article capable fof
being destroyed by fire has risen con-
siderably in price. so that while the
figures representing the 1917 losses
look large the actual amount OF ma
terial destroyed was probably not
much greater than in former years,
at least so far as the state outside Of
Des Moines is concerned"
