The employment of returned soldiers
is one of the problems that the coun-
try has to face, but it will not he seri-
Gus so long as there is such Il great
demand for labor and man power out
side of the military establishments. II
is naturally expected that there will be
Il letup in the labor market on account
of the cancellation of many orders for
military supplies, but Washington au-
thorities who have made inquiry are
Of the opinion that industries which
are owned by private corporations and
which have been held back in order to
supply the government with war ma
terials. will be able to absorb all of the
labor that will be turned loose from
military employment, and also furnish
places for the soldiers. Quite Il large
number of institutions throughout the
country have kept places open for men
who We're called to the cOlors and will
restore them as soon as the men are
ready to 60 to work.

REGULATIONS BRING RESULTS
The Old Saying That An Ounce of
Preventive is Worth a Pound of
Cure Has Been Exemplified
in Striking Way.

DR.. f. Marsh Williams, the Health
officer of Oskaloosa, gave the Board
of Health a decidedly interesting re-
port Of his recent visit to the National
Pub lie Health Convention Ut Chicago,
at their meeting in the Mayors office
Tuesday evening and in the various
discussions that were held the Conven-
tion naturally gave considerable time
and thought to the proper handling of
the present FLU" situation and after a
general sitting out OF the. various pa
pers and ideas expressed, it was re-
Fealed that the eourse taken by OsKa-
loosa and the authorities here vas not
far from the correct mode of proceed
ure.
Another important fact was also
drought out and that was the exceed
ingly small ratio of death rate per
thousand of population, that Of Oska-
loosa being IL per thousand as against
"a far larger ratio in cities of about
the same population as ours. This
fact speaks loudly in favor of the care
ful and conservative methods that
have been used during the weeks of
the quarantine and its necessary regu-
lations. These should be most carefully
followed as ii no doubt means tle saw
ing of lives.
Health in the Movies
Action was taken BY the Board of
Health in regarding to the running of
slides at the Moving Picture shows
that will be instructive to the people
and educational in their mode of pre-
sentatiOn. Prompt reports by the at
tending Physicians were also discus
sed and the best methods of securing
more complete control of the pre-
vailing cases. The regulations as pub
lished in the Her3ld on Tuesday were
approved,
Dr.. Williams Honored.
DR. L. Marsh Williams was hOnOred
by being elected as one Of commit
tee of. three that was selected from
Iowa, in order to unity the Health Or
gaRizatiOns of the state and so secure

Washington.-For the first time
since the days of Grover Cleveland
there is every indication of Il serious
rupture between the executive and
legislative branches of the government.
President Mckinley had no trouble
with congress and Theodore Roosevelt,
in such disagreements as he had, al
ways commanded IA majority to carry
out his views. Mr.. Taft got along very
well with congress, and President VIII
son has had six years, during which
time he has got along very well with
the Legislative body, becauSerthe legis-
lative body has to large extent CON
formed TO his wishes. Now that there
is to be change of parties there Is
every Indication that there will be
some serious differences of opinion.
Once the division becomes acute it Is
almost certain that it will grow inten-
sified. Presidents as rule do not like
to have congress interfere with them,
and President Wilson has shown ii dis
position to have his way regardless af

Washington. - Government owner
ship or control of public utilities Is
one of the -the-war or reconStruc-
ton problems that is going to cause
a great deal of discussion, not only IN
congress, but throughout the country
In view of the action Of President
Wilson in taking over the Telegraph
and telephone lines at the time he dld'
and later taking over the ocean cables
it Is assumed that the administration
is in favor of continued control of pup
lie utilities. When the bill giving the
president power to take over the rail-
roads was being considered the preSl-
dent was anxious that no time limit
should be set for the return OF the
railroads to their owners and man
ayers. However, this was one of the
things in which the president could
not have his way, and congress iiN@d
limit of 21 months after the close
of the war for the return of the rail-
roads. Al shorter limit applies to tele-
graph and telephone lines. Now, these

the attempt to pass legislation CON
tinuing government control will he one
of the big features of the next con-
gress. And what is more, it will not
he party fight, although the Repub-
licans will be largely arrayed against
government ownership. There are
quite number of Republicans, who
were formerly known as progressiyes
who are expected to support govern
ment control or ownership. At the
same time there are great many
Democrats who baked at the idea Of
government ownership of public util'
tiles Most of these are from the
Southern states asd they still cling to
doctrines which were popular in their
party in former days.
1t is expected that the contest will
be brought on long before the time ex,
pires when the various public utilities
are to be returned to their owners. Al.
ready resolutions on the subject have
been Introduced and they will be made
the subject of discussion, and no doubt
bills will follow which will bring the
matter to head soon.

a North Carolina man recently In
Washington caused a smile to over
spread the faces of western men when
he was quoted in a Washington news
paper to the effect that mountain lions.
wolves, and coyotes would soon be-
come extinct. He based 1t upon the
fnct that these predatory animals were
causing a good deal OF damage and
there was a general war on them. AS
these animals mostly abound in the
West and have vast plains, great for
ests and inaccessible mountains 70
roam over, the western men are quite
sure that 1t will be long time be-
fore they are exterminated. 1t has
been found much easier to externi-
nate the Ineat-producing animals than
the predatory animals.
There can be no doubt that the
American people are open-han,led
with their money. 1t Is hard 70
make comparisons so early, but there
is no harm in saying that Amer
lea probably contributed twice as
much to Red Cross work In our 1S
months Of war as the rest of the
world contributed in "a months. Since
April, 1917. s300,000.0O0 has poured in
10 the Golfers OF the American Red
Cross. That is an enormous sum, but
more could be used to advantage.
When it Is remembered that something
like two or three hundred times that
much has been spent IN Tearing things
down through war, S300,O00,0OO Is not
enough to build them up again.

Or. Harvey W. Wiley, the man who
has been identified with pure food for
80 many years, paused in the work of
his chemical and pure food researches
the other day long enough to remark:
"We have just passed through The
most marvellous four years the world
has ever known. What has happened
in that time is WeIl-nigh unbelievable.
If, in June, 1914, a man with gift of
prophecy had foretold what was to
happen in the four years to follow, no
body on earth would have believed
him. Ii would seem incredible if we
had not seen it and'live through it,"

Senator Smo0t gets more letters
than any other senator. People have
an idea that he does things because he
is so very active in all business of the
senate. More than that, he answers
letters. When he gets letters in any
liar interest in any part of the country
he speaks about it in the senate and
he recognizes that those letters are Il
part of the public opinion that exists.
