IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Des Moines Register: After peace
is restored, we may be reading Of re-
turning soldiers wedding the girls
who took their jobs while they were
at the front.
Cedar Rapids Republican: That
the Am orleans in one engagement
should have captured S,400 prisoners,
as reported by General Pershing, is
something that we can mention with
a fair degree of pride. From first
captured twice as many Germans as
their casualties will total.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: The country
is becoming tired of airplane failures.
We were going to win the war in the
sky. Surely, this country is resource
full enough to nledy all defects and
do it quickly and make good our
promises. Every energy of the war
department should be exerted to re-
trieve the mistakes of our first year
in the war.
Davenport Times: While fleeing IN
defeat a good song for the Germans
to sing, If they feel like singing, is
"One More River to Cross" Let us
hope that particular river Is the
storied Rhine.
Sioux City Journal: The chief OPP
orator of the Western Union Tele-
graph company at st. Louis dis.
charged twelve employees who showed
up the morning after the governm emit
took control, wearing union buttons.

possess more faithfUlness to tradi-

ENTHUSIASTS WHO DO HARM

Advocates of national child labor legislation
may learn that they have done more harm than
good in case they fail to find satisfactory sub
stitute for the law recently declared unconstl-
tutional by the United States supreme court.
Most of the states have enacted legislation for
the protection of children, and public sentiment
should be aroused to compel the others to pass
similar laws. The Importance of creating
sound public opinion in the backward states
may be overlooked by those who insist that
congress make another attempt to frame and
pass a constitutional measure for the regulation
of child labor.

Socialism is recognized a. common political
enemy by both the republican and democrat
parties IN New York City, and because of this
the republican county committee there has rati-
fed an agreement with the Tammany organiza-
ton whereby both will unite to defeat socialist
candidates for congress in districts where the
socialists have shown strength in other years
The principal object of the fusion is to bring
about the defeat of Congressman Meyer London
and Morris Hillquit. The object is most COM
mendable London has been a civic and nation
al disturber for years and Hillquit is not far
behind in that respect, his activities being part
ly curbed only by the fact of his inability to OBJ
tain election to Office.

To the plan of the ways and means commit
tee to tax luxuries more heavily than neces-
sites there can be no reasonable objection; but
many articles are difficult to classify. What,
for instance, are bottled mineral waters in dis
tricts where water is scanty, brakish or impure?
Or take the case of lace or textiles of high cost
or exceeding fneness. They are evidently lux
uries, while coarser commoner fabrics OF the
same material are not The price must often
determine in which class an article belongs;
and if there is any general rule it is that those
articles are Injuries which minister to vanity
rather than to comfort, and those articles for
which cheaper, satisfactory substitutes can be
found
