ONLY TWO TICKETS.

For the first time in many years
there will only be two parties in the
June primaries, the republican and
the democratic.
Both the progressives and the pro.
hibitionists failed to poll two per
cent of the vote cast for the head of
the ticket in any district in the state
two years ago and hence, lost their
right TO go on the primary ticket
The socialists also lost out in every
county in the state except four: Polk,
Jasper. WapeAo and Scott.
The fight between Harding and
Meredith two years ago absorbed all
of the parties.
Only twice since 1875 have the pro.
hibitionists failed to have a candi.
date for governor.

FARMING STATES IN Lao.

Iowa and Oregon are disputing as

Kansas City Star And what state
would you say would be third. Mas

Ohio? Wrong. It's Arkansas. All west

HATS DEE TO IOWA!

The "cornhusker" state has shown
her heels to the nation in the Third
Liberty Loan campaign "Over the
top" for her fixed quota of $71 ,O5O, 900
she has gone-and she is still going.
To accomplish this feat took the
state but four days. 1t took but sew
enty-two of the ninety-nine counties
to do the job, and when the rest are
heard from her total will be largely
increased.
But the Iowans aren't letting vic
tory turn their heads. They have
given the seventh federal reserve dis
trict and the, country to understand
hat they want the enviable distinction
of seeing to it that every county, city
and community takes, its full allot.
ment.
IOwa's response to the governments
appeal for funds shows that the far
mers are now thoroughly aroused, for
farmers go far toward making up her
population. 1t also shows that the
outcroppings here and there of TEo,
Germanism in that state signify very
little.
Iowa has shown the hation what she
has closest to her heart Her citi-
zenship has indicated that it is
thinking about the war along the
higher lines of the welfare of the
country and the rest of the civilized
world.
Iowa has set the pace, and it is a
hot one. To her rightfully belongs

The MOONEY CASE.

The case OF Thomas j. Mooney, CON
victed in the San Francisco bomb plot
has been holding the attention OF the
senate of the United States, as well as
various parts of the country
Senator Phelan, of California, has
pronounced Mooney bad man, and
SAYS he has not been railroaded; that
he had a fair trial. The senator from
California says the case should be
tried in the senate The other sena-
tor from California, who is Senator
Hiram Johnson, agrees to this state;
ment The labor commission OF the
United States, headed by Secretary
Wilson, has stated that the Mooney
trial was fair. Senator Phelan SAYS
that Mooney is very dangerous man,
because of his previous record, The
senator also said, Il believe Mooney
and his associates were victims of
their own stupidity and that they were
bribed by German money 10 perpetrate
the crime" He regretted very much
that the labor interests of the country
should have a ,misconception of the
crime.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
clines to the belief that Mooney was
convicted on perjured evidence. He
says. Every legal action will be taken
by the bona fida labor movement to
isecure justice for Mooney, but that
a., ottap,nt ~ ;pcita a etril,a of tho
workers of a trade or industry of a
locality, state or nation, is not only
violative of the laws of the national
land international unions of America,
but is repugnant to the rights and the
interests of the workers themselves. "
Mr.. Gompers denounces all the strikes
proposed in the Mooney interest.
at is natural for the laboring men
throughout the country to take an in
terest in Thomas j. Mooney and de.
mand for him fair trial But it is
: entirely unreasonable and unusual to
attempt to excite the world in regard
TO murder trial at San Francisco,
says the Des Moines Capital.
The socialists 'of Russia, working
in the interest of Germany, sometime
ago undertook to make use of the
Mooney trial in the interest of Ger
many, while pretendedly in the inter,
est Of Russia. We have no doubt that
American and German socialists, all
working in the interest of Germany,
prompted the men in Russia in theiI
attempt to use the Mooney case as
an evidence of the meanness of the
American people. This is what they
call internatiOnalism. Internationalism
means almost anything which is
against law and order, and as a rule
against hard work. The desire ia
avoid work it at the bottom of mum
erous of these so-called political
movements.
we should like to see this country
in position TO tell the Russian social
lists, the German socialists and the
disturbers. wherever they may be
located that the people OF the United
States interested to attend to their own
business, and to require everybody
else to do the same No man living

knows, and he is against it all.

that is that murder trial on the

DON'T TALK TO THE MoToRMANn

This is the familiar warning which
greets the eye of the passenger on the
electric car. The same advice might
well be given to American citizens in
this crisis. Those in charge of military
and governmental affairs in our coun-
try are bearing heavy and unprecen-
ented burden. Our business is to win
the war and every human activity must
be valued in proportion TO the contri-
button in. makes 10 that enterprise.
There Is no time for the academic
discussion of theories. nor for cherish
ing the so-calIed privilege Of free
speech.
Helpful suggestions or even construc-
tive criticism offering possible remed-
les for specific failures in efficiency
win be welcomed at all times by those
in authority, but the loose. general
criticism OF public officials, which is
one OF the besetting sins of the Amer
lean people, should not be tolerated
I'm war times. No loyal American
should allow himself to fall into, this
habit nor permit such language on the
part OF others TO pass nnchallenged.
Neither should we accept and Adm

A SEED CORN CALL
LAST NOTICE FOR ALL CON-
CERNED IN THE CROP.

/. Please notify the undersigned,
within three days after the date OF
the paper, how much seed corn you
must secure through Farm Bureau
Aid. 1t is now necessary to know
definitely what is wanted. When
these demands are received the Farm
Bureau assisted by the State EXten.
sion Service at Ames and the United
States Department Of agriculture,
will endeavor to find the best seed
possible to make it available at cost.
2. Every farmer is urged to use
his own seed corn or that grown in
the neighborhood in 1916 or 1917, and
great many farmers can do this
successfully if they will exercise. suf.
fcient care in testing the seed On
a good many farms, better seed for
home use can be selected from a crib
testing as low as 20 per cent, than
can be imported from any other sec.
ton. If it is necessary to buy seed
it should not be used until you have
made your own test and satisfied
yourself that it is better than what
you could provide from your own
crib or in your vicinity.
3. These are war measures of
great importance. We will win in
the fight for a great corn crop il each
one will do his full duty for himself
and then cooperate for the benefit of
others. And winning the corn fight
this year will be big help toward
winning the, bigger fight "over there"

10 Try For Senate.

Ten other members Of the house in
the 37th assembly including Speaker
Pitt and RUDE McFerran are trying for
the senate this year and all but two
voted in favor of the Wilson resolution
That some of them will land in the
upper chamber is certain, and while
the ratification of a national prohibi.
tory amendment is a different PROPOSE
ton from the submission of state
amendment to the vote of the people,
the situation as outlined above is so
favorable to the drys that the defeat
of the national amendment cannot be
counted within the bounds of Droba-
bility.
In the House the situation. is more
uncertain but very favorable\to the
prohibitionists.
AS the state constitution provides
that the ratification of an amendment
to the constitution shall be by ma
jority vote of the members elected to
each of the two houses, only So votes
are necessary to pass the amendment
in the house.
