To All Telephone Patrons
An Announcement

For some time it has been realized that with the increasing
cost of all materials necessary to the proper maintenance of
telephone equipment and properties together with the advances
in labor costs, it would be impossible to continue to furnish.
telephone service at the rates heretofore charged.
The Iowa Telephone Company has endeavored to meet all
the extraordinary conditions imposed upon it by the unusual
situation and at the same time hold it's rates for telephone
service as low as possible.
In order that our employees may be more able to meet living
conditions as they now exist, an increase in wages amounting
to about a half million dollars yearly will be made, effectiveI
on December /, 1918.
In order to meet the financial requirements occasioned byj
such a wage increase for our employees, it is necessary to make
certain telephone rate adjustments.
This is to advise you that, effective December i, Long Dis
lance telephone rates will be increased Is per cent and in adj
dition Local Exchange rates will be generally increased. Such
increases as are made in the rates for Local service will be
shown on the December bills.
We believe it is unnecessary to say anything further in JUS
LITIGATION of cur action than to ask you to consider all the con-
sslaaea ths 1aishin af talephnne service TODAY.
together with the increasing cost of all commodities which you
as well as our employees use.

"This war has wakened England. 1t has
made the workingman work at full tilt for
the first time in his life. He has been will
ing to do it, because the product served a
national purpose instead of the profit of
another person. He has been physically
able to do it, because an increased wage
gave him better food. He has discovered
how to do it, because the pressure of ne
cessity has unlocked brain cells which in
ordinary times would have required term
of education to coordinate. The war has
turned the middle class home inside out,
and freed the respectable unemployed into
usefulness 1t has given new and more
active forms of employment to women

revolution. The social change in England
is not coming with any such over-empha-
sized nationalism. The Englishman wants
to be let alone for all his personal choices.
He wants to disagree with official state
ments. He will not be coerced even for
his good as that good is seen by another.
Nor will the change come as an indeter-
inmate, spreading internationalism, such
as has infected radical thought for half
century. 1t will be English inside an Eng
lish environment.
"TRere are two truths so plain that we
wonder it required hundred years to find

.vealed them to our blind eyes. The first
truth is that high wages give high pro-
ductiveness. A we'll fed, self-respecting,

undernourshed, servile workmen. If the
employer wants good product and plenty
of it he must pay a living wage. The sec
ond truth is that workmen must work eff

cut down productivencss there is no money
to pay them. The war has smoked the
workers out. s.

Chells Ushered in the
~ New Era

"It was the making of shells that taught
England the new synthesis of capital and
labor. Suddenly she was forced to turn out
huge quantities of product in order to
save the lives of her people. Under that
tragic pressure she had to learn overnight
how to get large product. She began in
the manner dear to ruling classes: she
pagn of the evangelistic sort, and her most
gifted exhorter, Lloyd George, went out to
down drink. She then preached thrift to
the factory worker. But she soon dropped
that way of getting at it.; she stopped lect-
uring the laboring man for his bad habits
"And swiftly she found the solution. It
is this: State ownership of some factories;
state control of many factories; state over
sight Of an ever-increasing number of fac
tories; conscription of abnormal profits
for the community; living wage; decent
working conditions; limited hours of labor;
no restriction of output; no sabotage; no
discrimination by workers against workers,
but all to be employed, union and nom
union, male and female; efficiency; the use
of machinery up to its capacity instead of
doubling q process through a day where
halliday of proper handling would have
completed the product.
"There are broken planks all along the
length Of this platform. But every sag has
meant decreased output, longer war, more
young men killed in battle. And once Eng
land had settled the main question with
measure of honesty she found that some
other things were added unto her. When
she paid living wage to people who had
never had it before, and put before them
national ideal instead of benefit for an
other class, she found that two million per-
sons joined her national savings fund,
thereby breaking an immemorial British
habit. She found that her prisons had
fewer inmates. that the personal morality
Of her inhabitants was in the main i'm

in factory communities were better nour-

Two "Ifs' and British

WRITING in "The Survey" Paul U.
Kellogg recently observed:
my belief is that if the present German
offensive should hold its bloody gains in
France this summer and strengthen the grip
of the Prussian imperialists in Germany
the British labor movement will prove
tremendous force for coherence and endur-
ance at home. 1t has in its own statement
of war aims apd in the statement it elected
from the British government. given the peo-
pie democratic issues which will fire them
afrcsh in the same way that the issues az
stake in the overrunning of Belgium IN the
early days of the war fred them. On the
other hand, if, as I expect-from such I'M
pressions as a layman gathers in talking
with army men and war correspondents

There is another section of the press,

the local authorities at Collinsville are

the examining physicians. She found that
her woman question solved itself"
War brought tremendous changes:
And
"what the war has made clear is that Eng
land was losing her stride in the modern
world. She was tagging in agriculture, in
dustry and applied science. To put the
matter clearly and frankly, an an@mia had
spread over English life in recent genera
tions. Through lack of vocational training
the workingman had lost ambition, and his
power of production had lost pace with
German and American workers. The hud-
died, sheltered, unproductive lives of mid
die class people were often without direc-
tion and purpose because they were un-
trained. The upper class had lost power of
constructive leadership in the trad ditions of
an education unrelated to the realities Of
modern life.

Does America Approve Pragers Lynching? No.!

der" The mob, says "The New Orleans
Times-Picayune," Borrowed the methods
whose wholesale use by the enemy have
brought Prussian militarism and the i'm
perial German government under the
detestation Of decent men and women
everywhere" "a fouler wrong could
hardly be done against America" adds
"The New York Times" which continues:
"In the eyes Of the enemy the lynching
of German subject in Illinois was thing
done in the name of America. We shall be
denounced as a nation of odious hypocrites.
This act will be distorted by organized
rumor into race war on helpless subjects
: of Germany. Propaganda as conducted in
that country sticks at nothing. America
came into the war with clean hands. They
have been soilcd by this evil deed of few
persons in Collinsville. The stain cannot
be washed out unless the Governor and the
ofhcers Of justice in Illinois seek out and
punish the perpetrators. 1t must be done
not only to vindicate the good name OF
America before the world, but to stamp out
lynching as demonstration of patriotism.n %
This view is general. AS "The Me-
braska State Journal" remarks, "The
mob at Collinsville forged munitions for
Germany"
The hanging is also denounced by "The
New Republic" which asks if lynching
is "an American Kultur":
ut is not possible for any community to
sink to greater depth of degradation.
But this is not the gravest aspect of the
matter. Can the American people wash
their hands quite clean Of the guilt of Col
linsville? That depends on how much truth
there is in the charge that lynching is
part Of the American Kultur just as fright
fulness is part of the German Kultur.
1.-THE Kultur of frghtfulness rests upon
conceptions of racial and political supc-
riority that pretend to lift the aggressor
above the plane Of ordinary right and de-
cency. When the Kaiser instructed his
soldiers in the Boxer expedition to make
the German name a terror engraved upon
the hearts of the Chinese, he was arrogat-
ing to himself and his people position of
superiority to the common dictates of hu-
man,ty. On what other ground does mob
OF white Americans Justify the burning OF
negroes?"
There is a large element among the
press, however, which partly blames
Congressional laxity for not fixing more
drastic and specific punishment for
enemy agents caught in their dastardly
work. AS "The Charleston News and
New-York tribune., 1918-04-21
Lloyd George: A Portrait

that paragraph of his on little nations at
the beginning of the fight.
"Lloyd George is the leader of democ-
racy because he chums with experts and
swings to the currents of the collective will
His personality contains the virtues and
the perils of the democracy itself .
1t is not often that one sees community
incarnating itself in single man. But the
British democracy has it's incarnation in
Lloyd George, responsive to vast subcon-
scious forces, and turning to specialists for
aid in crises.
"He faces the most difficult years of his
life, and he knows it. A man of his tenn
perament can conduct great war. All that
was needed was the inspirational quality to
rouse his people, the energy to set them at
work, the creative imagination to see the
war in its extent, its duration, it's require
ments. None of these tests has overtaxed
his powers, for they all lay inside the area
OF his competence. But when peace comes
there is no longer one straight road to a
clear goal. All the forces of reaction will
coalesce. All the bad counsellors will make
cloud of witnesses about him. All the
paths to immediate power will lie in play
ing safe If he remains true to himself
he will be cursed with q vehemence which
will make his carly years seem a sweet sea-
son of delight. There will be no easy vic
tories. All will be turmoil and bitterness,
for we at the beginning of the greatest
fight of the ages-the fight of the democra-
cies inside themselves.
"The future rests with him as with no
other single man among the Western peo-
plies. He will face a world no longer
sharply defined into enemies, allies and neu.
trails, but world whore unguessed tenden-
cies are forming and new forces of eman-
cipaton are fighting for recognition. We
have this to go on for our hope: Lloyd
George is a democrat by temperament and
he understands America"
New-York tribune., 1918-04-21
MOB, led by a drunken man and
largely composed of boys be-
tween twelve and sixteen years

of age, has made the entire
United States blush with shame, judging
from press comments on the recent
lynching Of Robert P. Prayer, at Col
linsville, Ill. Incidentally, an issue that
penetrates to the very heart of the fight
America is making against Germany was
also raised. If Americans lynch men of
German blood for suspected disloyalty,
what Of the cause for which America
fights? asks the country.
Prayer had made socialistic remarks,
had had trouble with members of
local mine union, and was of German
extraction. However, he had his first
citizenship papers, had been rejected on
attempting to enlist in the navy, and
had gave fervent evidences of loyalty to
America.
