TERROR" is RIGHT.

Some folks have all the luck. For
example there's Charles McNider, Of
Mason City, chief of the bond drive IN
Iowa. Item, also, one Truman Potter,
mayor of Mason City; LATE Young,
chairman Of the Iowa defense council.
For II anything were needed to make
those gentlemen solid with Iowa the
attack made upon them and the de-
Tense councils by the Iowa Homestead,
1t. They may have made mistakes and
may make more but the attack by
pierce will be taken as the ultimate
proof OF complete Iowa approval and
a certificate Of useful service.
The Homestead discovers:
But today IN Iowa there Is a verita-
BILE reign Of terror, which has been en-
couraged among ignorant and ire
sponsble people, by men and organiza-
lions who should and do know better,
but who are playing upon passion and
prejudice for Interior purposes. More
harm is resulting from this assumption
of authority by private individuals,
without the shadow of moral or legal
rights than by all the pro-German
propaganda or real disloyalty in the
state.
Those tyrants and cars and kaisers
unearthed thus are OF course the de-
tense councils, and organized workers
for the sale Of bonds and solicitors Of
the Red Cross, Y. NJ c. A, etc. Those
are the cruel overlords conducting a
''veritable reign of terror" The sug-
gestion is that somebody has been
crowded to take his quota of bonds.
Which will recall the advice offered

The prediction is that Mr.. Ford will
be as badly defeated in the election as
in the republican primaries. There are
excellent reasons In fact the only rea-
son TO be found for his candidacy is the
command from the throne and that
isn't reason in America tho it might
be accepted in Germany. Ford is

interesting and illuminating fact Is
that it is OF home made material

Terror" Terror is right. What ter
rof can exceed that OF the confirmed
tishtwad or bolshevikist when he
knows that his wealth is figured to
it's full extent and that he must come
thru to it's full extent and that he must
come thru with his share Of the bonds
necessary to conduct the war, his al
lotment Of the Red Cross funds which
are saving the lives defending his
property. Terror and resentment are
his FIRST and middle names-but why
should decent folks worry over that?
The reign of terror extends further.

the draft and send another man in his

that more harm is being done by the

binary citizen the thing isn't clear.
Sunday is Sunday from New York TO
Frisco and in between and gasolene is
gasolene. And since laws is made in
every degree to curb vice in others as
in you and me-" why how does it come
that the effete east tramps afoot while
the robust transnississippi luXuriates

Perhaps. however. we are to take
turns. Sunday about. ride and tie as
our ancestors did when they had but
one horse between two Of them.
Anyway Iowa better run slow and as
quietly as possible and avoid drawing
attention. Remember that we have one

front door.
"Oh, Mr.. Owl, pray. do not scowl
Because we've called on you.
It's just a surprise. so open your eyes

Now. of course, Billy Bunny and Tim

AMERICAS OBJECT.

The object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples Of the world from the menace and
the actual power of vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to DOM
mate the world, proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obi
cations of treaty or the long established
practices and long cherished principles OF in
ternational action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
hercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept a whole con-
tinent within the tide of blood-not the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also aud of the helpless
poor; and now stands baked but not defeat
ed, the enemy of four-ffths of the world. =
