WHERE THEY STAND.

Ottumwa Courier: Joseph gilbert,
manager of the Nan-partisan league
in Minnesota, was arrested last week
on charge of attempting to opstrucl
enlistment in the United States army,
following an address he mace al
Kenyon, Mimi, in which he declared
that America in entering the wal
against Germany is "only pulling Eng
lands chestnuts out of the fire.
Gilbert presumably was speaking In
the interest of the organization OF the
Non-partisan league, the same organ
ization which has organizers aDroau
in Iowa now and expects to nave one
agent in every county after April i
1t is fortunate that Iowans are fore
warned, that they know the pro-Ger
man ground on which the Non-QartlSall
league stands. The plausible story OF
a farmers alliance which Is belng pu'
forth by the organizers in Iowa is
merely camouflage to cover the in
sidious work of Townley, Gilbert anc
the other leaders, who, if they car
obtain a foothold in Iowa through the
efforts of their paid organizers, VII
come into the state to preach tneil
socialistic, inflammable propaganos
here as they have preached 1t III MIN
| nesota and North Dakota.
| Iowa does not want the Non-partis
J an league But Iowa farmers ant
working men must be on their guars
or it will obtain the start for whlci
lit is working. 1t has invested neari!

STRIKING CHANGES.

Philadelphia Telegraph: Yesterday
the wristwatch was the fad OF sfssies
and today it is the necessity OF SOL
oiers going to battle.
Yesterday Uncle Sam was smash
ing the railroads into small units ana
today he is preparing to operate them
as the largest trust in the world.
Yesterday it was fashionable to see
how much you could waste and then
Indirectly brag about ''the things one
really and truly must have to get on
with" while today multi-millionalres
are said to be eating corn bread.
Yesterday all the blatherskites
pointed to big business such as Beth
Iehem Steel and Baldwin as a pub
lie menace. but today we hail them
as saviors of our country.
Yesterday hundreds of men l know
or know about were earning with
their brains ten Of thousands of dol
lars for themselves every year,
whereas today they are toiling for
Uncle Sam at 2 cents week.
Yesterday it was crime for the
United States to own merchant
marine, today Philadelphia snip
ward is preparing to build hfty great
merchant ships at clip, SO that we
NAV have a merchant marine.
Yesterday it was the fashion for
the vast majority of people to spend
eyery cent they earned, but today
10 600 900 people own Liberty bonds
mostly paid for out of savings.
Yesterday we put more money In
alcohol twice over than we put in all
nublic education, as men. and few
women. too, who couldn't seem to
live without John Barleycorn, and
: vet TODAY our liquor bill has been
cnt in two without major surgical
operation.
! Yesterday we taxed ourselves heav
! ily to feed and maintain in semi
! INJURY or at least full comfort, thou
sands of crooks, thieves, counter
Ifeiters and murderers, but today
some sensible communities have sci
| this parasite class to work.
| Yesterday milady could scarcely
draw on her own gloves, but now she
is knitting with nimble fingers stout
swea ters for Sammie.
Yesterday we depended upon Ger
MANY for lot of drugs and dyes
which TODAY we are duplicating-onlJ
making better ones.
! Yesterday we simply had to ea
steaks and chops three times day
hit now we find less need for doc
tors and fewer calls upon our bank
ing accounts when eating meat bu

that dividends would be paid on their

state that "regrettable it is, but we
must do our duty, not because we
want to-we have to-"

is written-"another victory for
stockholders. And appended to the
writing must be the names of Am

knows that there was not shred OF

ing the preferred dividends ON De-
cember S, any more than there was

Schwab, as quoted, seems to have confused IS
sues. The worker, the producing human agent
of wealth, is not now a bolshevlk, although IN
Russia and to some extent IN other lands ne ac-

is as vast gulf separating American labor
and English labor from .Lenine and Trotsky as
that which divides the German autocracy from
the democracies which are its foes.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
LET THE suNREAMs GET you.

LET THE SUNBEAMS GET YOU.
Let the sunbeams get you,
Lift Your eyes up from the ground,
Hit the high line,
Find the sky line
Where the grist of good is found
Let the cloud bans miss you,
Count them not they pass by;
Ever nigh them,
Or behind them.
Lives light that will not die.
Let the st1nbeams greet you,
In their own bright, cheerful way;
Seek their coming,
In content along your day.
Let the light that's shining,
Find an echo in your heart;
Then spread it out
Round and about,
Other sunbeams to impart
Let the sunbeams get you,
Hang you not your head and sign;
Raise it higher,
Heaven is higher,
When their warmth fills heart and eye

There is little doubt that the United States
harbors many secret enemies who are giving in
formation to the enemy 1t is unfair to our
soldiers that these enemies are treated with
leniency by or government.
The remedy seems to be that instead of try

DELAYS and the technical errors are taken adj
vantage of by counsel, it would be better to try
Tho snspects under military law, where pro
ceedines are swift, and punishment, if the ac

woRKMEN, NOT BoLsHEvIKI.

Charles NJ Schwab, Of the Bethlehem Steel
company, gives special emphasis to thought
which is reflected in the pubic speech OF many
statesmen and publicists OF the world, when he
saws that workmen will have an increasingly
,,otont voice in control of world affairs. But

WOULD BOOST INITIATION.

There is sharp disagreement among financial
leaders in the east concerning the wisdom OF
Secretary McAdoo's plan providing for the
creation of war finance corporation, with a
capital of five hundred million dollars, to Il
banks or individuals having loans de-
voted to war purposes. It is proposed to give
the corporation power to issue notes to the
amount of four billions, these notes to be dis
countable at federal reserve banks and federal
reserve notes issued against them. The Wall
Street Journal says that the absorbing feature
of the clan is the inevitable initiation which 1t
involves, but it finds eminent bankers who are
not alarmed by this feature Cnarles h. Ssbln,
president of the Guaranty Trust company IS
quoted as saying:
There has been good deal of agitation against
so-caed initiation of credit and it frankly be
admitted that it would be most desirable II no m
flation necessary, but the history OF all
wars in all countries has proven that the our
dens of war cannot be borne without some degree
of initiation through expansion OF currency OF
credit shown that the results OF THIS
Initiation have disastrous. although IN
some instances painful but without imitation
is no more conceivable than war without pam
On the other hand the National City bank is
unable to see how the initiation made possible
by the McAdoo proposals can be brought about
without disastrous results. The questions
raised by the war finance bill call for answers
Inv the highest financial authorities. Congress
should be guided by the advice OF these experts
bnt as vet there are no signs of complete agree
ment.

AN AGGRESSIVE NAVAL PROGRAM.

The American view is that England should
adopt an aggressive naval policy. With the
tremendous superiority of the allied ana
American fleet such policy seems practieaoie.
The terrible losses Of the allies shipping
both naval and mercantile, IN the Mediter-
ranean cannot be ignored. It is declared pos
sible to attack and destroy the Austro-der1nan
submarine base in Pola. It is time to take the
most effective measures to cripple Germany s
naval power. -
The destroyers in the North sea and IN the
Atlantic have reduced the number OF German
JT-boats But that is not enough The subma-
rine peril still remains.
CAPTAIN Perseus, the German naval expert
whose statements are generally based on close
observation, has said in a recent issue OF the
Rerliner Tageblatt that the building OF battle
sbins and ar1nored cruisers in British yards mas
gone on more rapidly than the building OF mer,
chant vessels, and expresses his aston1shment al
the fact in view of the necessity OF the iatte1
kind of shipping for the transport OF the
! American troops in the spring. lie urges on
Germany the desirability of making her SUD-
marine ARM strong enough to insure the sue
! cess of her on trade.
! Germany's enemies cannot afford TO take
defensive attitude in the face OF her plratlcal
tactics. They must at any cost remove the SUP
marine menace. They should crush Germany
on sea as well as on land.

could easily find out who did not do

who did not could be rounded up and

work or starvation. they would soon
