RAWSON FOR GOVERNOR

Charlie Rawson of Des Moines
chairman Of the republican state cen
trail committee, successful business
man, popular political organizer and
good mixer, has announced to friends
that he will be candidate for gog-
ernor of Iowa before the republican
primaries in 1920. The early an
n6uncement is due to the fact that
Mr.. Rawson expected to go over seas to
be gone for perhaps more than year.
That he will have a strong following
for the nomination is conceded and
that he has the ability to fill the posi-
ton of chief executive of Iowa is not
doubted. The Freeman-JOurnal is pre-
dieting that MI. Rawson will be among
the leading candidates for the nOmina-
ton and if nominated will prove one
of the best vote getters nominated by
the republicans in many years.

THE SWEEPSTAKES

"INhatever influence l exercise
whatever authority speak with, / de
rive from them. know what they
have thought, l know what they have
desired, and wnen l have spoken what
I know was i'm their minds il has been
delightful to see how the consciences
and purposes Of free men everywhere
responded"
This short sentence was spoken by
President Wilson i'm the course of, an
address at Paris a few days ago
Critics of ex-President Roosevelt have
often accused him of using too many
rs. If sentence of the size of the
foregoing ever spoken by any president
of the United States in which a larger
number of is were used the Freeman
Journal would like to have it pointed
out. OF course the frequent use of the
personal pronoun indicates little or
nothing. but when the colonel uses it
lot of the presidents political adj
mirers throw a big assortment Of vari-
Gus kinds of fits.

THE PROBLEM,

Union plumbers in Davenport are on
strike as result of the refusal OF
employers to pay them 81 for an eight
hour day. They have been receiving
SIP for a nine hour clay I'M
der the agreement that was TO be in
effect until the peace treaty is signed

What is to he done with situations
like this? When men VINO are get
ting as high as SIP for nine hours
work strike for shorter hours and in
creased pay per hour, it represents a
problem difficult to solve. 1t is quite
evident the striking plumbers OF Da-
venport are not seeking justice. They
are asking for tribute, for donations.

Really great men, except of the
military type. are almost universally
the embodiment of simplicity. That is
one of the concOmitants of greatness.
Could you imagine Abraham Lincoln in
a pompous display? How would it
sound to hear it said that Washington
had brass bands and gorgeous entour-
age accompany him on missions of
state? Can one imagine unseemly dis
plays INDUCED in by a Newton. a
Plato, a TolstOj, KOssuth, st. Paul.
an Edison or any of the other really
great spirits that have enriched the
world by their lives of service to hui
mainly? They were each and every
one men of simple tastes and habits.
They could not well be aught else and
be great. True, Napoleon was some
thing of a grandstander, so was Alex
ander and Caesar, but they We're of the
military type and military leaders
realize they must create admiration
and enthusiasm among their followers
to accomplish their purposes. 1t may
be admissible for this sort of men to
make splurges and displays, but when
other classes attempt it they belittle
themselves usually--or rather reveal
their own smallness.

Sometimes conscience is an awfully
severe taskmasteT. A few days ago a
bright young Filipino girl, a student
at the Columbia university. committed
suicide by drowning in the Hudson
river because she had written a false
hood to the superintendent of the
American hospital in Manila under
whom she had formerly studied. There
is certain gentleman now temporarily
sojourning in Holland who has no such
qualms, He lied steadily and mali
ciously for years but his conscience
did not suffer for a moment. True, he
has suffered because he was caught
with the goods, but the fact of having
taken the goods never bothered him
for a moment. IS
