STANDING IN THE SYNAGOGUE.
TEioux City Journa1.1

[Sloux City Journal
The issue in the city election at
Burlington, If the Burlington Hawk
eye is understood, is the old one OF
liquor, or bootregging VS. anti -boot-
legsing The primary was held on
the same day as the Sioux City pri-
mary. According to the Hawfeye, the
result of the primary was 3 victory for
bootlegging. It appears that there
has been and perhaps continues to
be, much illegal transportation Of
liquor, or bootlegging, into Burlington.
Burlington Is conveniently located
with reference to illinois, which is a
wet state. It seems to be easy to bring
in supplies OF wet goods over the
bridge which spans the Mississippi
river. In the campaign preceding the
primary the Hawkeye freely charged
that the municipal administration OF
Burlington, if it did not expedite this
illegal traffic, openly wInked at it
refused to interfere with it. "The
issue was clearly drawn for the recent
primary" asserts the Hawkeye and
the administration candidates, includ-
ing the mayor, won by an emphatic
majority. rs it not a proper assump-
tion," inquiries the Hawkeye, that the
majority Of voters in Burlington not
only favor the licensed saloon, but are
in favor of the sale Of liquor IN Bur
lington regardless Of state laws?" In
view of the very large majority given
the mayor and his council In the re-
cent? primary" the Journal believes
that the Hawkeye's assumption is en-
hrely proper
We have had our troubles with
bookkeeping and law enforcement in
Sioux City. but at no time recently
have We had situation equaling that
at burlington. We are being told to-
day that during tho last two years
bootleegfne has proceeded here with
ont restraint, but we know that Is I'M
true. Just how far it is from the
truth we can discern by contemplating
the Burlington situation.
1t is helpful to realize by cornpaH-
son that Sioux City Is not as bad as
it sometimes is painted. Sioux City
might be better. and it easily might
be infinitely worse. We should make
sure that in seeking to remedy exist
ing ills we do not invite worse calam-
tiles.

Taking It altogether, President Will

over that satire in the Metropolitan.
What he needs to do and what the
country needs to do Is to learn the les
son taught and to heed It," says the
Iowa Forum.
| Congressman Hull, of the Second
district, has announced his candidacy
for denomination on loyalty plat
form, and the Davenport Democrat
says no one has ever accused him of
disloyalty. "He does his best, but his
best is so little the Democrat contin-
ues. That's what makes the Iowa dele
cation so insignificant in congress. 1t
Is a bunch Of men of whom the best is

THE TRUTH ABOUT SHOES.

Waterloo Times Tribune.[
At the meeting in Des Moines the
pent up feelings of Iowa retail shoe
men were given air. What they would
not dare tell their customers privately
they announce publicly and all togeth-
err. They are prepared to make the
bold stand. They tell them that the
specially designed, embroidered, dia-
mond set. lace trimmed, hand painted
shoe, must cost heap of money. They
tell them that the high heels and mar
row toe are nothing in which to incase
the feet. They tell them that the shoe
must be made to fit the foot, that the
foot cannot be made to fit the shoe
without injury to said feet. Nature did
not see fit to make the foot taper at
the toe to a point, it did not make the
foot to he blocked up three inches at
the heel. If corns and bunions and
other things were expected to come
they would be there in the beginning
and would not be a source Of pain.
If high heels were supposed to fit the
foot the legs would be so constructed
that the muscles would not be torn and
misplaced at every step and the bones
would not be dislocated.
Shoes are made, or should be made.
to protect the feet, not to twist and
misplace them, these shoe men tell the
women. The proper shoe is the low
heel and the broad toe designed to fit
the natural foot They are not made,
or should not be made to look pretty.
It should not be that the women trip
painfully to the mirror to see how Il
new shoe looks, but that she should
stand on it squarely and feel how it
fits. So much the retail men tell the
women Of Iowa. Brave men! They
stand together, in phalanx, and tell the
fruth
