Des Moines. May 13.-The Iowa psi
maries are to BE held three weeks
from today. which is Monday, June 8.
With public concern engrossed in the
war the primaries are evidently being
lest sight Of except blythe men who
are out for office and their immediate
friends.
While there are no issues prominent
in this election nevertheless the Thirty
eighth general assembly to be held
during the: winter Of 1919 and the
members Of which will be nominated
Mt the June primary will be a highly
ALREADY pending to be passed upon by
the next general assembly and war
problems may develop which will make
1t an epoch making body.
Prohibition Main issue.
The national prohibitory constitu-
.tional amendment, already passed on
favorably> by many states. will be be-
fore the Iowa assembly. The last two
general assemblies were strongly for
prohibition and the Indications are
that this next session will be. Never
etheless there is always chance that
the old wet counties and some Of the
easy going dry counties will send a
sufficient number of wet legislators to

did its chances seem to be good with
the next general assembly. Every
candidate for the legislature in Polk
.woman's suffrage. at least the suffrage
leaders here say this is true.
War Legislation to Fore.
!, But what about war legislation? 1t
is hard to forecast what may develop
thru the war by next January and
what Iowa,s supreme duty will be in
another six months. The war will
overshadow the coming legislature
just as it is oversha downing everything
else and Iowa's part in the conflict will
dominate legislation without question.
The fullest measure of support to
Iowa's fighting men and every possible
recognition of their services when they
return home after the war is over will
undoubtedly be planned for The
nations war activities ALSO will doubt
less be considered in legislation.
More cover to the state council OF
Adefense; help to the families Of SOL
sdiers: recognition Of Iowas soldiers
who have fallen on the field Of battle;
legislation against the use Of German
made article. or legislation planned to
throttle future commerce of Germany;
help in every form possible to the
allied nations-these and score of
similar problems will be before the
next general assembly whose mem
bers are to be nominated at the pri-
mary to be held June 8.
1t is now being predicted that less
than so per cent of the voters will go
to the polls on primary day.

BY CYNTHIA GREY

The famous Hobson event which adds luster of
its to the annals Of the Spanish American war
is not to remain unique incident in American his
tory.
Another kiss of honor, albeit one somewhat diff
ferent in kind, was introduced to America in Med
ford, Mass, and detail-almost the leading
detail-Of the presentation of five crosses to
four mothers and one sister of crusaders with
Pershing.
The decorations were brought to this country by
Charles S. Baxter of the Massachusetts Commits
sion on Soldiers Information. AS Mr. Baxter pin
ned hero's medal above the heart of woman, he
affixed kiss on each cheek. Citations for bray
cry accompanied the medals.
The classic French embrace is very delicate
and significant salutation and is an official part
of the honor accompanying the giving of all mill
tary and other decorations The Medford audi
ence was ntensively appreciative of the foreign
spectacle.
The presentation of the war crosses is said to be
the first event of the kind in the United States.
But it will probably not be the last and therefore it
is limited that the kissing episode may be fire.
quently repeated in this country. Nations have
peculiar habit of exchanging national customs in
wartime.
But this famous kiss is perhaps too demonstra-
tive to see much service among English speaking
people, 1t does, undoubtedly, fill dramatic urge
in time of extreme emotion. In Medford it sig
nificantly emphasized the French origin of the re-
wards, atho perhaps it seemed to many persons as
tho the big boys overseas had merely sent kiss
back home to mother by the messenger who brot
their precious croix de guerre.
Unless We become as little children-he shall not
