THREE MEN AND THE VISION THEY SAW.
By Bruce Barton

In certain city dwet three men. And by acct
dent of birth one Of them is Catholic and one is
Protestant and one is a Jew.
For thirty years they have engaged in business
side by side, and the Catholic has not dealt with
the Protestant; and the Catholic and the Protest
ant have had no dealings with the Jew.
"What is he to me ~ each man has said. "He
is not of my faith l will avoid him.
So for thirty years they have dwelt together,
strangers in friendly world.
Then came the shadow of fearful war. And
out Of those three homes three boys went forth
alone. Three fathers waited heart-worn for the
letters from over there.
"There are Soldiers of Friendliness over here"
the boys wrote home. 'They bring us chocolate,
and motion pictures and baseball, and good lee
lures; and the memory of mother and of God.'
''Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder in a
great campaign for funds.
Not as a Catholic and Protestant and Jew
but as good citizens united in common cause
And as they worked they came to know each
other, and they were ashamed that for so many
years they had been strangers side by side.

so.cALLeD "sLAckER" DIVISION.

Homer A. Miller, state director OF
the Iowa War Savings committee, call
ed the chairmen of the few remaining
counties which still stand in the So
called Stacker" division because of
the fact that they have not subscribed
their quota of War Savings stamps. to
|Des Monies last week in order to i'm
press upon them the fact that the Unit
ed States treasury department expects
each county to subscribe its quota and
will not be satisfied with anything less.
We are forced to admit with chagrin
that the chairman for Crawford county
was among those present. Crawford
county has come forward so nobly IN
all previous war activities that the
leaders feel more keenly the disgrace
of failing at this time. Mr.. Miller ad-
vised dividing the county into districts
and appointing allotment boards for
each district whose business 1t shall
be to figure the financial worth of all
property owners and tax payers within
their district and notify them of the
amount which they are expected to pay.
in all probability some such plan as
this will have to be used in order to
awaken the people to the situation. The
secretary of the treasury has deslgnat-
ed June 2Sth as National War Savings
Pledge day, and at which time every
state, county and township is expect
ed to be lover the top" with its war
Savings pledges. In the interests OF
this campaign, President Wilson has
issued a statement reading as follows:
81 earnestly appeal to. every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before the 2Sth day of June to
save constantly and to buy as regu-
larly as possible the securities OF the
government, The 2Sth day of June
ends this special period of enlistment
in the great volunteer army of produc-
ltion and saving here at home. May
!, there be none unenlisted on that day"
The work of soliciting subscriptions
for this campaign is in the hands or
the council of defense of each town
ship. These gentlemen know the
amount allotted to each township and
know how to raise it. 1T is. just a
question whether those entrusted with
the responsibility of raising the
amount will discharge that RESPONSE
bility by taking hold of the matter
with sufficient vigor to raise the mon
ey. 1t Is not question where discre-
ton is lodged with the council OF de-
tense to accept less than the amount
assigned to each township. but each
section of the county must cheerfully
bear the burden placed upon it and
this can only be done by raising the
full amount We urge upon those en-
trusted with this responsibility to
adopt such course as will insure
raising the money allotted to it. This
is not a matter which can be delayed
but immediate steps must be taken
by those entrusted with the duty of
raising the money in each township,
to 20 ahead and raise the money by
the 2Sth of June.

VICTORY IS NO SURPRISE

The victory of l.. J. Dickinson, OF
Kossuth county, for congress over
Frank P. Woods was not surprise to
people living in the northern part OF
the district where both candidates re-
side, but Woods defeat was somewhat
of surprise to those in Crawford coun
ty who had been supporting him here
tofore, when his loyalty to the repub-
lican party alone was questioned. They
did not, however, discriminate between
his loyalty to ones own party and to
the country.
Mr.. Woods in the past had made
something of reputation for himself
and perhaps had added little to his
popularity by what his friends termed
was his independence of thought and
action as a republican, and they no
doubt, thought the same result might
follow, with the charges of disloyalty
to his country, made against him dur
ing the campaign, but they were mis-
taken in this.
There is a growing sentiment that
no man should hold public Office if his
loyalty to his country is questioned
and of course Mr.. Dickinson was the
beneficiary OF this thought. We do not
take but little stock in the suggestion
that it Is Of no lasting benefit to con-
gresham to oppose his party and espe-
cially in congress where one is apt to
lose standing by the leaders of his
party. If he is looking for an Opportun-
ity to oppose it, especially on party
measures. 1t is a safe proposition to
assert that as rule, no man is
stronger than his party and he must
be judged more by what. his; party does
rather than by his own particular eff
forts. But there is one thing that may
as we'll be understood and that from
henceforth men, who are candidates
for public office must not dissemble or
leave any question as to. where they
stand upon measures Of loyalty to the
country 1t is up to candidate to
demonstrate to his constituents that
his heart as well as his head is sound
and II he thinks he can fool the people
into belief that he is sound in heart
when he is not so in fact, he had better
disillusion himself at once
Congressman Woods defeat may be
laid to the charge that, he was not
wholly devoted to the interests of his
country, DuL was wAlA4AS " duopt q
course that left question OF his 10y
atty in doubt and for this the people
would not stand.
Mr.. Dickinson, on the contrary, has
left no doubt on this question. From
patriotic standpoint he is fully 100 per
cent, and no one has any doubt that
he will fall below this standard. In ad-
dition Mr. Dickinson is we'll equipped
for discharging with credit to himself
and to his constituents the duties de-
volving upon an office Of congress: He
is an active, progressive young man
and stands well.in the legal profession
Of which he is member. We predict
that at the coming election he will
prove himself a winner and will be-
come capable and patriotic congress-
man and will loyalty support the lead
ers in. conducting the war.

"cRUIsE OF THE coRWiN."

The story told in THE Cruise of the
Corwin," under the editorship Of Will
lam Frederic Babe, is two months
more than thirty six years old. 1t has
been told before in various ways, but
not just in this way. Concerning it's
foundations:
In 1881 John Muir accompanied the
Corwin expedition through Boring sea
and the Arctic ocean in search Of the
lost Arctic explorer De Long and his
ship the Jeanette. The expedition
sailed from San Francisco in May di-
rectly to the island of Unalaska and
thence proceeded through Boring sea,
landing on the northeast coast of ST.
IBERIA. Going further north on their
search they made the first landing by
white men on Wrangell Land in the
Arctic ocean. In october the men Of
the expedition were homeward bound.
The book in hand is made directly
from Mr.. Muir's own journal. 1t Is
full of Arctic adventure, peril, daring
and discovery and every incident has
in its telling the freshness of record
made on the spot. THE Cruise of the
Corwin" will take immediate high
place among narrative books of the
further north.

of its most stirring scenes laid in the
Republic of Liberia. These are facts
which give this modest little romance
noteworthy place in the lists of new
fiction.
Captain, afterward major Paul Dale
of the United States army is the hero
of Mr.. Downing's tale. He has a mix
ture of African blood in his veins His
soldierly qualities have been developed
at West Point. Stationed in Liberia,
he falls there into his own romance
and becomes concerned also with the
affairs of young girl, held with her
black nurse among the natives. whose
father in New York has supposed that
she died in her infancy.
Mr.. Downing writes in his book
many strange things about life, GUS
toms and superstitions in Liberia.
