FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT.

Des Moines Capital: Former Presi-
dent Taft is in Des Moines and has
been talking patriotism to the SOL
oilers at Camp Dodge. The country is
fortunate in having such a man as the
former president. He possesses a
great mind; is an educated lawyer
His reasoning faculties have never
been twisted or turned crosswise.
Though he is not president; and
though he was defeated. he loves the
people and is devoted to the United
States government He supports
President wilson in all his public acts.
He is able to explain everything both
to the common and uncommon mind.

AN accurate statement OF this

says the Mason City Globe. Gazette
The Cedar Rapids Republican agrees
with General Crozier that we are al
to blame for our country's unreadiness
for war. None of us saw far enough
ahead to prepare for what now con
fronts u.s." the Republican continues
1T was beyond human comprehension
that such task should devolve upon

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil hopes
it is true that conditions at Camp
Cody have been remedied, as Secre
tary Baker asserts. But what has
been DONE" the Nonpareil inquiries
aside from the writing of letter to
some subordinate? Can't we have
some specifications?
The Algona Upper Des Moines Re.
publican believes that an extra session
of the legislature is to be avoided at
this or any other time; that the regu.
lar sessions are usually bad enough.
However," the Algona paper adds,
Governor Harding may safely be de-
the matter"
The Manson Journal had hoped the
high cost of dyestuffs would lessen
the use OF red tape in the government
al affairs.
The Waterloo Times Tribune sus-
poets that about the time the admins
tration gets through the preliminary
difficulties and is running the rail-
roads in good shape, say in about six
months. a congressional committee
will be investigating the early stage
and deploring the poor work done.
The Burlington Hawkeye wonders
what Mr.. Bryan thinks of the railroad
turnover. "At one time" the Hawk
eye recalls, "he advocated something
like government control of the rail-
roads, when he was fishing for votes
and hunting for. issues. At that time
he was actually hooted out of court"
The Cedar Rapids Gazette con-
cludes that able bodied men can just
as well ride in the chair cars, or even
in the ordinary day coach, as war
measure, but it expects that some of
the old boys will yell when they are

Even congressman. might manage to

chair car route" the Gazette suggests.

ments, the Des Moines Capital says
there can be no peace until the Ger
man empire and the kaiser and all his
kindred are whipped, everlastingly
whipped.
"The prohibitionists who announced
their intention to secure ratification
of the prohibitory amendment at the
special session in Iowa should first
catch their session." suggests the
Marshalltown Times Republican.
Just so they don't make Sunday q
smokeless day we won't complain"
says the Algona Upper Des Moines Re-
publican.
The Manson Democrat wonders what

fighting the railroads, will do now.

lhad the thought that when a boy OF
ten or twelve, and even up to man
hood, the boy and man Jesus did not
feel supernatural power, that He grew
up conscientious lad and man, well
versed in the bible and the customs
of the Jews and that even when IN the
wilderness He had not come to the
state of being the individual who Gre
ated the world and existed before that
event. By this way of thought l can
have some realization that Jesus was
truly tempted to do wrong and came
out a victor the same as we folks do
now, when tempted and we overcome.
We know there was much Of the hui
man in Jesus or He would not have
shrank from the ordeal of the cross
and crucifixion. There would never
have been in the record that he sug.
gested that the cup pass from Him, If
possible, if there was not the human
shrinking from pain. humiliation cruel
death. There must have been much
of the human when he went about
houseless, hungry, put out of the vii
lagos, when it was but seemingly the
expression of the wish to have food,
lodging, earthly mansions, freedom
from the annoyance Of the crowds. At
that stage of His career there must
have been a temptation to 60 over to
the evil forces in the world and attain
power and what is called now success,
instead of His life going out amidst
the jeers Of the people and seeming
failure When hungry there must have
been temptation to make food If that
power existed at the time. 1t would
have been a signal showing that He
was indeed divine if He had cast Him.
self off the high pinnacle to the earth,
and no harm come to Him. That
would have been sign which could
but have helped Him to secure the
applause of the crowds, showing super
natural powers. These things were
known to Him. and yet He stood on
the words of God and believed them
true and oyercame the temptations pro.
lposed.
1t takes no argument to understand
that men and women now are tempted
to bow down to the evils of the world,
with the expectation that this will give
ease, power, comfort, position. wealth,
success. in the eyes of fellow men. We
all know about that and how hard it
is to stand true under all the pressure
at times. Then we too turn back on
the words of the bible, that sin leads
to death of the soul, that to do wrong
is an insult to God; that there is way
Of escape, if we reach for it, in prayer
to God, and tust in His promises. If
we do this, II he is no doubt as to the
result.
The lesson also tells us about the
calling of certain disciples, Simon, An
drew, James and John, and the prom
Use that Jesus would make them
fishers of men," and not of the fishes
of the sea. There is much in this idea
of being a fisher, of striving to gain
our fellow men to be christians. On
call these men followed at once. On
call now men and women should lay
aside everything and carry out the
commands of God in the bible. This
will mean eternal life, the saving of
ones immortal soul, and that should
be our chief aim in life. This lesson
has great possibilities for us. l have
but begun to show these up, but must
stop for this week.

THE WORLDS FOOD SHORTAGE.

Inc development OF food supplies
In nearby countries is point to be
considered. Our farmers are sensitive
on this, as they feel already the COM
petition OF imported foods. But in a
time of scarcity the working popula-
tions must be fed, even if good deal
has to be taken from outside.
South America forms the most con-
siderable unutilized field of the worlds
possible food supply. There are great
spaces just across the Caribbean sea
whose resources are scarcely touched.
vast domains Of good farms and graz

transportation. Cattle could be raised
there as they used to be raised in our
western states. Vast hordes of wild

SsxpOrts wheat. Even in Bolivia with
Yalfs its resources. they have to import
10000 tons of -four annually to feed
themselves. The reason why these
resources are not helping to feed our
people In this world crisis is the cost
of getting products to the market when
they have to be transported over path
less plains on the backs of mules.
When railroads are built great new
supply of food will be produced.
The Canadian wheat fields offer a
large chance for expansion. Yet it is
not good policy for American farmers
to rush across the line. These lands
can be had cheap, but the settler has

lands are in a very rough state, and

But not so.
Even in his latest report and at the

Of the idiotic neglect of plain duty of

GUS declaration against system of

ssa For the ineXcusable lack of prepa-
ration at the opening of a war whose

the country for two years, Mr.. Baker
gives an absurd excuse:
