REPEAL OR CHANGE THIS LAW.

The Iowa general assembly will misrepresent
the people and be recreant to it's duty if it fails
to repeal law which never should have been
passed and of which the people are thoroughly
sick and tired This is the primary law Great
ing that complicated double election system so
costly to the people and under which modest
merit finds it almost hopeless to aspire to any
office which a self advertiser with money behind
him wants. This law should be repealed forth
with, unless it is found possible to modify the
Objectionable features out of it. The law as
passed was too revolutionary. 1t went too far
in doing away with features of approved utility
in the system which it changed. Instead of
retaining the good and improving the bad, it
swept both away. Only foolish reformers do
this. Wise reformers are improvers, not de
stroyers, and seek to modify old systems into
greater usefulness. In this way we have added
ing it's basic principles or eliminating a line
We merely extend it by amendment to cover
new conditions the years have brought.
Our old election system was as this: The dis
trict was the unit which knew its own needs and
could speak and act for itself. Power thus be-
gan, as it should with the people; and the
caucus district could make it's voice heard in
the conventions or highest councils of political
parties. But this law obliterated the district
substituted an artificial election system in which
the district as such is voiceless. The primary
law was misconceived and is cumbersome,
costly, wholly unsatisfactory and should be
made over completed y or repealed.

HURRY, HURRY, HURRY"

One of the cheering pieces of news from the
battle front comes in an interview with General
F'och reported by Charles H. Grasty in des-
patch to the New York Times General Foch
is one of the French generals who have
yet to be shown in failure of promises He
says the Germans will not break through that
although they will throw more troops, guns,
airships and mechanics of all sorts into
an offensive now than ever before, the relative
superiority predicted will not belong to them
His reasoning is sensible. In other offensives
if the Germans had less to attack with, the
allies had much less to defend with; if the Ger
mans could not accomplish break at the
User and Verdun, they will not now, since by
more troops better organized the allies can
hold greater offensive strength than the cen
trail powers can muster. This is good to read
But then comes General Foch S urgent plea that
we hurry, hurry, hurry our men to the front
Does this mean a qualification of his previous
statements9 Probably it means simply that he
regards holding the Germans this spring and
summer as unsatisfactory military accomplish
ment for the allies; that he regards victory
over Gernany's forces in the west as necessary
And for this victory large American army
fully equipped, we know to be necessary
The point then of particular interest is Gen
eral Foch's confirmation of other military
expression coming from France of late in which
confidence of power to hold Germany independ
ent of our men is coupled with urgent call to
hurry our men at topmost speed This sort
of apparent contradiction seems to have a
definite and important meaning. France, which
has been so magnificent; which has never fall
tered and never spoken word of doubts
nearing the end Of her stength. Her courage
is no less, but her powers are feeling the strain
aeutely. She is bending every energy now to
help us on with guns, ammunition, men to
train our men-anything she has that we need
And as she is helping, so she is hoping that we

Des Moines Register: Too much
importance cannot be attached to this
announcement from Washington:
Receipts from the sale of war
savings stamps in this country
already are exceeding those from
the same source in Great Britain,
according to figures made public
today by the national war savings
committee. For the last four
weeks total receipts at the
treasury from this source were
S40,000,000 as against $37,000,000
in Great Britain. AS the total
American war savings are now in
excess OF $70,o00,000 and are
averaging nearly s2,000.000 day,
it is expected that the first $780,
100000 will be recorded in the
third week of March, or in a
little more than three months
after the first offering of the
stamps.
First of all the money secured by
the sale of these stamps is money
saved. Those people who are buy
ing stamps are mainly people who
would have spent the money for
else. We are not, there
future by the sale of stamps, but are
paying as we go.
But that is not the most important
1t is far more impor-
ant that the masses of the people
ire receiving interest bearing securi
les for their contribution to the war,
md will as we pay off the debts of
he future have something to show
or the part that will fall to them.
Many have wondered why the gov
has been at such pains to
ell the Liberty bonds in small de
lominat lions, and to have them as
