!. W. w. In Disguise.


There is no doubt that many men
in Iowa thought the fight made by
the Greater Iowa association against
the Nonpartisan league, was a temp
est in a tea pot and that they would
have done no harm If left alone. But
when we consider that this organiza-
ton is an amalgamation Of radical
socialism and L w. Wism under the
guise of new name in which they
Lare merging their strength in the
hope of gaining the control Of the
United States, and that this is a part
|of an international movement for So
ciafist control of the governments of
the world, l am not trying to alarm
you, but merely to bring to your
minds the importance Of keeping our
house in order. Make your own an
alysis and if you find that I am tell
ing you the truth, begin at once to

lions well into the solid rock of real

"a rapidly increasing number of
our people believe that what we now
have under American representative
democracy does not offer a fair and
equitable chance to all classes of
men, and the radical socialists, the
l. W. W., and the Nonpartisan league
are symptoms of organized protest
against condition which they be
lieve is real, and SO impressed have
we been as a people that our dsmoc-
racy is complete and secure that we
have given little thought to the re-
sponsibilities which true democracy
entails, until brought to realization
that these elements of unrest pro
pose to accomplish, through force if
necessary. a complete social reyolu-

That the American and state gov
eminent structures are menaced ny
the Nonpartisan league, socialistic IN
its attitude and tendencies, was re.
vealed in an address by Harry E
Moss. assistant secretary of the
Greater Iowa associa ton before the
Iowa Association of Insurance
Agents, meeting on the Steamer q.
W. Hill out of Keokuk today.
Mr.. Moss is one of the most force
full speakers in the state and 1t was
only after his true worth as worker
against organizations of the charact-
er that the Nonpartisan league is. be-
cine fully realized that he was Sc
cured for the work he is now doing.
The Gate City has secured the full
text of Mr.. Moss's address and pre-
sents it here for the interest of read
ers
Mr.. Moss said:
Unrest Apparent.
In meeting such as this 1t
would be impossible as it is undesir-
able, to relegate to a secondary place
the thought that is uppermost in the
mind of all of us. Dominating the
minds of American people today is
the one thought that the war must
be won. Not for any selfish reasons
that may bring aggrandizment to us
as people, but for the reason that If
we and the people of the future gen.
erations throughout the world, are
TO enjoy liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, the principles of our own
nation and those of our allies must
triumph; and while we are bending
+ every energy in the prosecution OF
the war, which is actually being
brought home to us every day, let us
not forget that our house must be
Kept in order, even though we must
work over time to do so.
Ihere never was a time in the his
tory of our country when the I'M
rest and the discomfort were so well
organized. as now. This organization
Is not because of conditions that are
nard or unsatisfactory, but because
Lne men involved are not Americans.
Ihey have never been in sympathy
with our form of government, either
economically or socially, and when
II comes to the last analysis, we our
serves are the ones that are to blame.

Not one, but several keokuk sol
diers in France are suffering in hos
pitals from gas attack launched By
the Germans on the night ofsMay %.
Private Oscar kIapprott, member OF
a supply company Of the 16sth infan-
try, Rainbow division and fighting
man from this city, writes to his sis
ter, Mrs. John BrumfieId, 400 South
Fourth street, that Private Tommy
Stack and "a few more from home are
in the hospital suffering from gas"
1t is believed that Louis K Ewing,
II North Eighth street and Ben C.
Barker, formerly of North Fourth
street, were gassed at the same time
Stack was.
Letters Confusing.
Two letters. one confirming the fact
that stack was close to death because
of the attack, and second one writ
ten by the soldier himself which
would seem to belle the report that he
was dangerously i'll, were printed by

Klapprott says in letter which
reached Keokuk Wednesday:

said in your last Letter that one of the
boys from home was suffering from

well, the Dutch shot over
bunch of gas the other night and it got
a few of the boys. but where I was
we only got a slight attack: not
enough to cause me to put on my gas

We must draw the line past which
the encroachment of unrest shall not
go,-and the only way we can do this
is through an unorganized and well
directed effort to ellmfnate the
causes of this unrest, whether the
grievances be real or only fancied-
And we must do it now. men of Iowa;
there is no more time TO waste.
Had we thought of these things TWEEN
ty years ago and kept our social or
der in harmony with our economic
progress there would have been no
cause for unrest today
Let us Recognize the faults tn oar
business structure and remedy thems
let us admit that in the development
of American business we have been
suided exclusively by Materials
tic ambition, and in che REIMBURSEMENT
which no reprfeEe can put off long,
let us depend more upon cooperation
than competitor. In this way we can
contribute more upon the proper de-
velopment of the children of the
masses, for. after all, it is upon the
character of the children of the
masses that the progress of civiliza-
ton depends.
What Our Duty Is.
There have gone out from the 10y
al homes all over this nation the
flower of our young manhood. In the
training camps they are standing
shoulded to shoulder; social barriers
have been broken down; new under
standings of each other have been
realized. and out of it will come new
interpretations of democracy From
the training camps these boys of ours
have been and will be sent over sea-

to participate in that gigantic con-
flict for the preservation of democra-
cy, the successful conclusion OF which
means not only our national exist
ence, but the existence of the entire
civilized world upon readjusted so
cial and economic lines.
ITO those of us who stay at home,
it is our duty to keep the home fires
burning;-to see that no influences.

Awaken New Ideas.

WARS, with all their horror, never
theless create new ideals, quicken
the pulse, arouse the conscience and
put into action the latest energies
of a people The years first following
the great wars of history have been
the years when mems minds have
been most alert; those have been the
years that have produced the best
literature; the best in art; those
have been the altruistic years; The
years during which democracy re-
ceived it's greatest impetus.
History must repeat itself;-it is
repeating self;-our minds are be-
coming more alert; we are becoming
aroused, and therein lies the saliva
ton of our democracy. We in the
United States are in the process Of
developing a new national character.
Ont of the blood-stafRed crucible of
conflict into which the world is
plunged today, there will emerge a
new America II we bestfr ourselves
now. this new America which is com
ing will be purged of the poison of
disloyalty and disaffection; cured of
the malady of indifference to public
AFFAIRS a new nation with its Wis
ion cleared, its purpose set, its forces
unified Yes, out of this hell-hole of
war should come the America of our
dreams where men will more fully
anreciate their obligation to their
neiqbbors and where the duties of
good citizenship will be universally
accepted and feariessly discharged.
