A GREAT UNDERTAKING.

A giant task was ahead of the draft machln-
cry Of the nation yesterday No such mass OF
detail involving such number of persons was
ever before attempted in a single day. General
Crowder devised cooperative system OF civil
ian help and it has done remarkable work. he
had confidence that it would be able to cope
with this registration problem without losing
its efficiency and he had means of knowing on
what he depended There was a sense OF per-
sonal responsibility not only in the registration
boards but in each individual member. Team
work alone could accomplish this work properly,
and good team work comes only when every
member of the team is making the business IN
hand his own.

Muscatine Journal: Patriotic
Iowans are not satisfied with the
outcomee of the Pierce affair. His
resignation from the state council
of defense appears to them to De an
all too easy way out of a tight box.
The broadcast unpatriotic charges
of the publisher Of the Homestead
brought about the vote of expulsion
ON the part of the council. Governor
Harding sustained it's action. Before
the governor acted, however, Mr..
Pierce accepted a graceful means of
sfdestepping by rendering his resig-
nation. "He got away by the grace
OF the governor" says the Marshall
town Times-Republican
The question which presents itself
now argues against closing the Incl
dent Mr. Pierce's statement adj
dressed TO the governor leaves much
TO be desired. He has suffered no
change of heart He is still the
leader of bel1igerency in Iowa He
is still at variance with the aims and
aspirations of the patriotic people of
Iowa. The. Des Moines Capital asks,
rs it fair to Iowa" that he shall be
permitted to continue his alleged
seditious activities?
A case is cited where a woman in
Dickerson county who asserted that
we should have kept out Of the
war" was fined $500, with six
months imprisonm In that case
her influence was purely local. Her
was not spread statewide.
The measure of harm resulting from
her utterance was as nothing com
pared with the unfortunate results
Of the widely spread writings Of Jim
Pierce. Yet he remains at liberty.
Mr. Pierce stands indicted by the
highest civil tribunal in Iowa. He
mas been found guilty by body
which represents the government of
he United States with having oh |
;tructed the sale Of Liberty bonds !
and otherwise interfering with the
success Of war projects in America. !

the various patriotic movements
which have been conducted here.

LIBERTY BONDS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED

| In a report from the comptroller OF the cur.
rency it is stated that while two-thirds OF the
Liberty loan issues were sold through national
banks, these banks retain less than one;
twentieth of the bonds issued. Of the nine bill
lion, nine hundred and seventy-fve million dol
lars of bonds issued, the national banks now re-
tain four hundred and eight million, eight hun
dred and tifty-nine thousand dollars. This is
gratifying to the national pride and of great
Importance to the welfare of national business.
The bonds have been scattered among our citi-
zens without calling to any Gripping extent on
bank funds which are left free to meet the in
dustrial and commercial needs of the country.
The treasury department looks to a similar
popular absorption of the fourth loan and with
the temper of the people what it is, this conf
dence is reasonable.

THE MOST oDIoUs QUALITY.

The question of the relative enormity of evil
Qualities has been under discussion and natural
: ly of late with result that something like con-
! sensus of thoughtful people has been reached
that of all those qualities which shame and stain
mankind cruelty is the most detestable A cal
lousness to the sufferngs of others shows low
state of development; but instinct for cruelty,
a delight for nflicting pain on helpless fellow
creatures, indeed any form of life, is be-
lyond all doubt the most evil and horrible char
artistic which sullies human nature.
Below man in the scale of life most things
that live are wholly careless of the sufferngs of
the creatures which they prey. Probably
they do not realize the pain they cause. Con
eeivably all they know of pain Is what they
feel when their turn has come and some
more powerful beast has sunk his claws anu
fangs in them. In an animal intelligence OF
this low order cruelty, remorsefuness IN satisfy
ing its physical needs is not evil The act does
not become sin until reasoning mind has
been developed IN human being able to realize
the torture his acts inflict. Deeds of wanton
cruelty then become the most inexcusable OF
sins; and delight in committing cruelty indicates
the greatest depravity of which mankind is cap
able and has been called the worst thing that
Heaven looks down upon and earth displays
The cruelty of slavery was SO horrify1ng and
narrowing to sensitive natures that 1T brought
on our civil war, as it previously had led the
English people to fight the slave trade on all
the oceans For the soul of man is so constltut-
ed that it can be and often is refined and devel-
oped to such point that it suffers more poig-
nant misery In realizing the pain OF others than
ia pain inflicted on itself.
No Informed, open-minded person doubts
that the deliberate cruelty of German practices
is new and horrifying chapter in civilized war.
Nor does this rest alone upon the ten thousand
evidences which prove it. For cruelty as pol
icy of neutrality-suspicious. they call its
avowed, extolled, ordered by their high COM
mand, defended by their statesmen and Justl-
fed in their pulpits. Revulsion against this
cruelty probably is the strongest bond which
holds the allied nations together in league
which Prussan intrigue cannot break, and has
made impossible any peace which permits the
continued existence of the present dynasty and
miltaristic regime
