IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: The fact
that the women of America marched
against the white house may give the
Kaiser some temporary citation. But
there were only fcrty-eiSht Of them
and we have forty-eight million wom-
en- in this country.
Sioux City Journal: What lot oil
perfectly good newspaper space acer-
tain Iowa newspaper is wasting in its
daily discussion of Gov Harding's for
eign language proclamation. Nothing
so trivial and silly has been seen in
Iowa in a generation. The discussion
lis not only wearying, but there is ser
ious question as to whether it is not
lending aid and comfort to the coun-
trys enemies. That a newspaper as
Stunning the dignity of state leadership
should make such a revelation of hui
man weakness and pettiness is aston
fishing. 1t should hold the mirror up to
itself and see itself as others see
lit. The reflection would not be flat
tering.
Mason City Globe-Gazette: Some of
US who didn't believe q few years ago
that the primary was the panacea of
all political ills will have the privilege
of initiating our lungs this year with
whatever oxygen we choose.
Waterloo Tribune: A returned
minister says he didn't see a drunken
American soldier in all Europe. Why
DO our ministers think that fact
strange enough TO exrravaganaIy com
ment about?
Davenport Times: Berlin is busy
trying to show that the American
losses ON the western front have been
enormous. Same old propaganda to
break the Yankee morale.

OF his armies over those
