ONE NON EssENTIAL.

Mr. Edison's dictum that the country has no
industries which it can afford to extingulsh as
non essential seems to have daunted the war IN
dustries board officials for a moment. But
after temporary indecision they recovered
their morale and resolved to show that the
noted inventor wrong and that there are
industries which are absolutely non-essential
and should b.. suppressed. 1t is not at all sur
prising that they gave their first attention to
PLAYING cards. How does their production
promote the welfare of the nation and help us
to win the war, was Tiumphantly asked; and 1t
looked as though the eonventionalized chromos
of royalty might be dispensed with until the
return of peace. But the opposition rallied
Cogent arguments were advanced, and while
this industry had a narrow escape 1t finally
squeezed through
By not unnatural transition the board
then passed to poker chips. Here If anywhere
was an article for which the country had no
need. Who would dare to say word in its de
Tense? Surely the nation had better uses for
it's celluloid and its ivory than to make it up
into these demoralizing disks. Yet there was
something to be said on the other side. There
was less action and sudden, informal transfers
of personal property in poker, it was argued,
than in craps, which is pushing it so hard just
gerous devices than the chips. If there Is a
non essential product in the country it is those
sinful cubes. But the anti-chippers prevailed
They felt that the eyes of the country were
on them. If they could not agree that poker
chips were non-essentials it was clear that they
never could agree on anything and might as
well give up the attempt. And therefore by
the first unanimous action they have ever taken
they repudiated the principle laid down by
the great inventor and decided that poker chips
should head the non-essentiaI production list.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Marshalltown Times-Republican /:
General March is asking congress for
large supply of small calibers. Well
perhaps they might use the young men
who can stay quietly at home in safety
while their companions get into the
war.
Davenport Democrat: The fact that
four policemen have resigned in Louis
vile suggests to the CONVERSATIONAL
that the social structure is tottering.
Perhaps the ordinance fixing the pay
of policemen has not been revised
recently at Louisville.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: English spar
rows and American mosquitoes are not
loyal They pay no attention to the
daylight saving plan.
Muscatine Journal: The war stamp
like the Liberty bond, is first mort
gage on the United States. America
would have to be reduced to ruins and
ashes before your war stamp would
lose its value.
Cedar Rapids Republican: At
Oconomowoc seven months old Hol-
stein animal was sold for 100000,
double worlds record. 1t looks al
most like insanity to pay such a price
for heifer. But it shows that men
are in earnest in developing the dairy
breeds The Holstein is a nearly dual
type of animal, unsurpassed as a milk
giver and fairly useful as beef ami
NAL
Cedar Rapids Gazette: William
Howard Taft could live and would at
tract attention without assistance
from his enemies. The admiration
given him is not the reflection of hate
for any other. No one praises him in
the belief that he will be led to make
some personal spite. narrow belief or
selfish purpose the motive Of his ac-
tivity. No one believes that he will
swerve from patriotism or stoop be-
low the station of the gentleman.
Sioux City Journal: Has anyone yet
found any evidence that German spies
Put the strings in the beans.
Waterloo Courier: So the Taft
Roosevelt reconciliation was brought
about by Taft sending Teddy tele
gram of sympathy when the latter was
in hospital. Fine, There is point
er for all of us. When an enemy gets
in a hospital or in trouble, cheer him
up by wire or send him a few carna--
tons It's worth while--changing an
enemy into friend.
