NHANA<N%%1$%&~eSS s-~%SS$SS
One of the leading progressive
spirits of Leslie is ]. w. BarWick, the
well known merchant whose store is
SO we'll know nto every resident Of
the town. He was born September
%, 1876. in Athens, Ga, and received
mis- education nthe schools Of that
city. He first came to Sumter coun-
ty in 1S9-. remaining here three years.
when he erturned to North Georgia
and grst engaged in photography as
business. He visited many communi-
ties in that part of the state before re-
turning to Americas in 1910, when he
opened photography studio on For
syth street. That same. year he mar
ried Miss Estelle Pipkin, of Maddox,
this county, and during the fall Of
that year moved to Leslie to make his
home. He has since resided there,
being one of the progressive business
men of the community. He sells ice,
coal and groceries when he has time
from his cold drink business, the mag
nitude of which is explained in the
statement that he has hold since jan
uary an aggregate of $4,000 bottles of
two soft drinks alone, not to mention
the others that he passed over the
counter to waiting customers. His
drinks, is a maxim among Leslie peo-
pie, are always the coolest and best to
be found anywhere in the county, and
it is fact that frequently travellers
passing through the town stop at his
place long enough to enjoy a really
cold bottle Of their favorite soft drink.
Just now, Mr. Barwick is immensely
pleased over the advent of a young
son, J. w. Barwick, Jr., who came to
join the family circle about six weeks

MR.. KENYON AT KEoKUK.

Sioux City Journal: The Journal
urges a careful reading OF Senator
Kenvon's Keokuk address, published
in another column In this paper.
This patriotic utterance is IN strik-
ing contrast with the political speech
making in Washington during the last
few days. Senator Kenyon is illum'
mating and convincing. His convlc.
ton was born of what he saw and
heard behind the boys in the trenches
in Europe He has thorough I'M
derstanding of what we are fighting
for He thoroughly appreciates the
magnitude of the job we have IN
hand. 1t is not only democracy that
is at stake, he asserts, but humanity;
He shows us plainly what we Will
have to do. what kind of thinking we
will have to do, what resolutions we
will be obliged to summon, how
single hearted our purpose must be-
come, il we are to succeed. He re-
yeals to us again, as Representative
Dan V. Stephens revealed to US IN
his Sioux City address, what sort OF
, a horrible monster it is with which
we battle. We are called upon to dc
not only our bit, he declares, but our
ibest-our "damndest." He expresses
his faith and confidence in the spirit
and the substantial patriotism OF the
country. He believes the country Is
equal to it's huge task. He believes
| that our boys of today are OF the
! same heroic stuff as the men VINO
made victory possible under Grant
and Thomas, and Hooker, and Far
ragut. and Dewey. He is bitterly EN-
phatic in his condemnation OF the
man who is responsible for the wal
| and for all the horrible. unspeakable
/! outrages that have followed, and ne
urges that he and those jointly re
!; s-ponsible with him be made to suffer
! adequate penalties. The senator
address is call to duty. 1t holds
message for everyone OF US. L
points the way for all of us 1t is IN
spring and uplifting. 1t shows how
! a patriotic Iowan, putting politics
| aside. is able to give loyal suppor
| to the government; how he can PAL
a deserved tribute to democratic
president. It is 100 per cent patriotic
]; 1t will do inestimable good. While
there is much to require the presenc'
in Washington of every member o
/ congress, the Journal believes tina
Senator Kenyon is doing greater
things for his country by these ad
dresses in Iowa than he could pos
sibly do on the floor of the senate
| in Washington. 1t Is regrettable tina

THAT $4,000 FINE.

Marshalltown Times-Republican
Just now the state food administra
ton is sending agents over the state
warning food hoarders. One of those
was in Sioux City the other day ane
made this statement:
The government is lenient now
because consumers do not COM
prehend the federal regulations.
They do not know that there is
penalty of $4,000 or two years
imprisonment for the purchase of
sugar in quantities of more than
five pounds or the purchase of
more than one sack of -four in
the city and double that quantity
in the country. The food ad-
ministration is carrying on
brief campaign of education.
After that the strong hand of the
government will fall on the shout
der of the food hoarder. The
regulation will be vigorously en-
forced"

GIVE us PURER WATER.

Disease and following illness is largely re-
suit of condition of mind. Children are suscept-
ible to suggestion from their elders and too
much "babying'' is responsible in large measure
for many of the ills of the pre-adolescent period
Parents become timid and forward their
thoughts to their offspring, with the result that
littleones are inoculated with the virus OF sug-
geston and complain that they do not feel well
enough to go to public school today or to Sun
day school, 1t may be taken as truth that
child dismissed from the public schools be-
cause of illness will be confined to the home and
not permitted to roam the streets. Those chill
dren who are in danger Of being attacked by
scarlet fever or scarletina and who are placed
behind the home bars are in no way to spread
contagion.
It seems an ill-advisd, foolish proposition to
close the educational institutions OF Keokuk
because of prevalence OF scarlet fever or scar
letina Thenway to fight the visitation is to dig
at the roots ''~- ~''-------'-~--..

WAR INSURANCE.

Our soldiers and sailors have applied for
war risk insurance to the amount OF nearly
three billion dollars, the average amount per
man being $500. The government would like
to have all men with the coors take out poll
cies before February twelve when automatic IN
surance ceases Until then the government
navs about four thousand dollars to the wife,
the child or widowed mother Of man IN the
service who is killed. It will be easy to sell life
insurance after the war the country will be
educated to understand its value.
Apropos of this, a story is current In Wash
ington of negro soldiers who had taken out a
$4,000 policy and was trying to convince his
messnate of the wisdom Of following suit. But
the doubter could not see it and argued that
insurance would not help man when he was
dead ''But you don't understand the other
retorted ''We-uns who insured will be
kept way back from the front while you-uns
will be put in the fighting line. Does you think
this government is going to take any chances
with us fellows whose death will cost it $4,000
while vou-uns can be killed without costing it a
.secrl5s''

MIR. BuRLEsoN IS SUSTAINED.

While the espionage act gives to the post
master general a dangerous power over newspa-
pers permitting the exercise of a wide discre-
ton in denying publications the use Of the
mails, it does not appear that Mr.. Burleson has
abused his authority. The first test case
brought under the new law has been decided in
his favor by the supreme court of the District
of Columbia which upeld the right Of the post
master general to exclude the Milwaukee Lead
er from the second class mailing privilege. This
right was questioned in proceedings brought by
the company publishing the paper, of which
former Representative Victor Berger is mem
Der, but the action has been dismissed Mr..
Burleson has intimated that publications are
welcome to go far as they like in attacking
him, but that they must be careful to do moth
ing calculated to embarrass the United States
in the conduct of the war. This distinction is
proper and easily understood.

S2,O00,O00 to spend in political propa-
ganda at this time is sufficient to con-
firm suspicion in the minds OF Ameri-
cans who put the war and the coun-
try before self interest and should
arouse suspicion in the minds of those
who are to be asked to swell the fund
by appeals to their prejudices and
selflshness That it will draw every
element Of opposition to the country

sible assistance by pro-German propa-
gandists and disloyalists is of course
evident and that German spys Will

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal And after
arresting the kaiser, and having the
jury trial to which every man is
alienably entitled, there would re-

Donnellson> Review: Since Fuel
Administrator Garfield issued his
sweeping closing order we have been
wondering if that section of the
order referring to the closing OF
places of amusement would affect the

would avoid it by removing Senator
Reed from the committee.

try, and whatever they say IN their
narrow prejudice and political peeV-
ishness needn't bother the rest OF US.

that the governor showed he was

fused to bow to the dictates of those
who would have session-if for
nothing more than to fill UP the Des
Moines hotels. When the legislature
meets once in two years 1T is often
enough. 1t costs money to assemble
A couple of hundred law makers and

Upton Conservative: The careless

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Fifty years

What's Behind "Nonpartisan League?

Marshalltown Times-Republican
The public safety commission Of
Faribault county, Mimi, recommends
that the organizers Of the Nonpartisan
league be barred from all places of
public gathering in the county. The
commission had learned that these or
ganizers are holding meetings in the
school houses and will attempt to hold
meetings in every township and dis
trict.
This public safety commission in
Minnesota evidently considers the
league and its meetings dangerously
disloyal. 1t refers to the convention
of the league in St. Paul which was adj
dressed by r. NJ. La Toilette, who the
public safety commission says, Sin the
course of his remarks made the most
|seditious and unpatriotic speech re
corded in this state" Then the com
mission advises:
Whereas, In these wartimes, 1T
is highly important that all of the
citizens of Faribault county put
forth every possible effort TO
stamp out disloyalty and to pro-
mote patriotism; and
Whereas, Every township and
school district in this county has,
or Will, sen5"c:ss ss-~s8oSe of its
best young men to the front, to
fight our battles and to take our
places upon the fields of battle,
Whereas. In times like these.
s.~it. behooves every true Ars>-ssessa
to eliminate all party lines in poll
tic,sssek,&dH.s' ~nding to diyissaa&H-
| masses Clie against the other;
| and.
Now therefore. Be it Resolved.
the Faribault county public safety
committee, that it condemn the
Nonpartisan league. its object and
purposes as being unpatriotic and
| inopportune in these wartimes.
BE it further resolved, That we
as representatives of the people
| looking toward successful prose
/, cution of this war, recommend to
| our fellow citizens that the propa-
! ganda of the Nonpartisan league
| and it's followers, promoters and
! supporters be discouraged in
! every possible way and that the
| promoters thereof be elected
from our homes. our halls, our
| churches, our schools and all other
places of public gathering.
| The best that can be said of tn
Nonpartisan league is that nothing O
its character is needed in this countr
at the present time even by those I
whom its appeal is made Not tn
worst that might be said of it is tina
it seeks such leadership as La Fo
