TINE END OF TINE FIGHrINe

Convinced as we are that the end of
armistice terms by the German COM
mission and that these will be signed
very soon it is too early 10 celebrate
or TO assure that the war Is over The
war will be over when the peace terms
are signed. 1t will be practically over
when the armistice is concluded but
the armistice had not been signed at
the latest advices this mt rning.
The Times Republican believes the
end of fighting lies within few hours
or at most within a few days. 1t
analysed the situation some time ago
and came to the conclusion that the end
was near. This conclusion has been
justified by later events and successes.
The climax predicted by the Times
Republican has arrived. And it mig ut
be permissible TO note tina. last year
the T.-R. predicted the end of the var
with the closing of the campaigning
weather of this year.
When Bulgaria surrendered the key
stone fell out OF the Mittel- Europa
arch. Turkey was forced to follow.
Austria thus laid open 10 certain dis
aster from two fronts and torn by in
ternal dissension could not go on. The
detection Of Austria leaves Germany
alone with her frontiers exposed and
forces insufficient to maintain her line
on the west front. Internal difficulties
hunger, lack Of morale in army and
civilians, bitter opposition to con-
tinuation Of the war by powerful
factions all combined to crush the
and kaiserites. So the end must come.
That il is near is indicated by pub
lished news from abroad and corro-
borated by facts which are not for
| publica ton.
Perhaps the first thought that glad
dens the hearts Of Americans over the
approaching end of the war is tha'
| the boys will be coming home. 1t may
be well for US to count on some delay
in this particular matter. Europe IS
10 be policed for a time during the re-
| adjustment ahead Time will be take n.
perhaps months of time, in the settle
ments that belong with peace terms.
The aliases of the world are to be
changed and the political face of ma
| tons recreated. Then the armies OF
the French and the British have been
under arms four years. 1t Is not un-
likely that they will be granted fur
loughs home while our men hold the
fort. But when we start that glorious
procession across the Atlantic toward
home we shall bring them even faster
than we sent them. And that sending
was a new wonder Of the world.
Let us keep our poise now as we

years ago would have seemed faSu-
lous,
That goes all right az Ions as
things keep coming its way But what
happens when the pendulum swings
she other way'
The test period Is to come. The $40
a week man when he found himself
making $50 to slC0 instead naturally
brought his manner Of living up TO
his income. II Is common In America
to live up to our incomes. Most men
do, He moved into a better house at
higher rent. His expenses increased.
Where a $50 suit had done q $50 or SIS
suit took its place. II will be found
that most OF The higher wage went and
was not saved by the man who
earned it. What Is true Of the SIS a
week man Is true in the aggregate OF
the rest Of u.s. The readjustment which
Is certain TO come will be hard on the
individual who has not saved from his
earnings or his profits.
This Is a condition that is to become
insistent and soon. The war is prac-
ticallY over. Perhaps the armistice
shall be signed today. Perhaps it has
already been signed. Whether or NO,
peace must come soon. And after
peace readjustment. There's the rus
read ustment.

wow MUCH OF IT HAVE YOU sAvep7

Attention vas recently called to the
few failures and bankruptcies of the
present period compared with previous
years. The -ecords of business have
never shown a period when failures
were so few compared to the number
OF firms in business.
What's the reason or reasons!
Sim ply that the market Of late months
has been a selling market entirely.
Manufacturers and retailers have
found purchasers standing at the door
waiting with the money in their hands.
Anything salable can be sold. And
the prices on products and the rising
scale of wages have brought the
money to the buyer. The ultimate
consumer has the coin. To be sure
the pressure upon sellers has taught
nnany the lesson that they must know
where they are at from day to day.
The larger amount of capital required
has forced sellers to sharper sysytem
Of credit and collections. That has
helped but even those who have failed
to learn have not failed in business
yet. II more capital has been re-
uuired the turn over has been faster.
If, in some articles fixed percentages
Of profit seem lower that has been bal
anced by the fact that these percent
ages are upon larger bases multiplied
by the lower rate.
Labor has found a steadily increas-
in wage. Common labor has doubled
its wage. skilled labor is able to prac-
tically fix its own price. Thousands
of men to whom SIS week seemed
good wage. are drawing SO day and
more in munitions works and else
where. Skilled laborers such as riv-
eters and all such employed by the
government draw wages that three

Well. as soon as the long legged
Photographer Crane had finished the
photographs of Uncle Lucky and Billy
Bunny, he gave them to the two little
rabbits. and then they drove away, and
by and By, after while they saw Mrs.
Peter Possum up in tree with all her
little ones on her back And how do
you thing they managed 70 keep from
falling off? why. they had twisted their
little tails around their mothers tail.

Good morning Mrs. Possum." said
Uncle Lucky. not very loudly. you
know. for he didn't want to frighten
the little possums. Watch your step
and tell your little passengers to hang
on to the strap" And this made Mrs.
Postum laugh. and it was wonder
that some of her small babies didn't
slip off her back. But they didn't.
Don't make any more jokes. please,
Mr.. Lucky Lefthindfoot," said Mrs.
Possum. "or ! won't buy any more lib

Well. after while, the little rabbits
drove away! and by and by Uncle
Lucky said. 81 think we're getting

Bunny.
"Oh my, yes" said the old gentleman

oUsUouEs CONFESS. ON.

Dubuque countys vote this year
forces attention toward Dubuque's vote
in the previous gubernatorial campaign
when assertion was made that the sue
cessful candidate was the candidate or
the LIQUOR interests and the saloon sup
porters. In the previous campaign
Mr.. Harding came from Dubuque coun-
ty with a majority o: 3.32l. This year
he lost Dubuque county by l,Joo ac-
cording TO returns now al hand, dill
ference OF nearby $500 votes or a
change Of vote of nearly half the vot-
ers of Dubuque county.
The change Of this vote can scarcely
be attributed to the lack of patriot
ism for Dubuque has figured molly
and pitifully in the casualty list OF the
war The name of that city has been
imtnortalized by the blood Of the brave
men who went thence to the defense
of liberty and their deeds on the battle
line. Let US dismiss that thought II
any shall have 1t in mind
Dubuque county fell over itself TO
vote for the standard bearer Of vets
in the previous election. She suffered
a serious disappointment The saloons
instead Of coming back into Iowa went
across the river The torch of hope
went out. And the majority SO prof
fered in 1915 went out with it For
elgn language proclamations and re-
proclamations my and probably did
have somewhat to do with it but a
little thing like language never stands
between Dubuque county and its beer.

Monday night, the members Of the
D. S. S. Club gathered together at
the home of Miss Uhler Sadler for
their weekly meeting. Everyone
had just gotten comfortably seated
when Mr.. Dewey Thorning arrived.
OF course there was quite a commo-
ton then, for none of us knew that
he was in town even, and therefore
were very much surprised at his sud-
den appearance. Upon his arrival
we decided to dispense with business
and give all of our attention to our
distinguished guest, who had been
to France about six times. Mr..
Francis Sadler and Miss Annie d.
Sadler gave some very beautiful Sc
lections on the violin, and Miss
Uhler Sadler and Miss Anna Wander
linden entertained us with selections
on the piano. Most delicious re-
freshments were served, and Mr..
Thorning gave some very interesting
accounts of his life as a seaman. 1t
was late when the meeting adjourned
and everyone acknowledged that Miss

BOWLING FAvORS JAIL
SENTENCES
FOR DA|RYMEN

A crusade to bring to justice
dairymen and dealers who water and
sell impure milk to Orleanians has
been launched by DR.. Oscar Dow
ling, president of the State Board of
Health. DR.. Bowling has compiled
list of milk dealers, who, he
charges, merit conviction under the
state law. Affidavits have been
filed in the First and Second City
Courts against fifty-one dealers,
charging them with watering milk,
fifty-eight for having dirty sediment
in milk, and thirty-two who refused
to permit inspectors to take samples
of their product.
DR.. Bowling said the guilty men
should be sent to Jail. "They do not
mind paying q fine" he said, "but
they would object to serving term
in jail"
