KEEP IT SECRET.
burlington Hawkeye. |


When anything that deeply con-
Germs the public is about to be discus
sed or decided upon, the first thought
that enters the minds OF some people
is to exclude the public go into lex
ecutiVe session, keep it secret.
It's mania, almost.
Every sort Of charge has been made
or suggested in the matter Of Governor
Harding's pardon Of Rathbun. The
house Of representatives Is preparing
to make thoro investigation so that
the people Of Iowa can learn whether
or not their chief executive IL q crook
and criminal or the victim of the
schenine Of rival Cor political pre-
tc--cc.t
Therefore comes now Colonel NJ. l..
Temple, veteran legislator, with an
argument "in favor Of executive ses-
sions but the suggestion met with a
storm OF protest and was dropped. -
Good for the storm.
Colonel Temple IL remembered as
most able awyer and legislator. sit
ting quietly at his desk, just off the
center aisle in the house chamber,
calmly reading his paper while young
er law makers talked for the CALLER
les, for themselves and the fair COM
mittee clerks. Then when the debate
was over, the colonel would calmly
vote and generally. he had enoguh
votes with him to win.
There never was any grand stand
ing" about Colonel Temple. That was
the Colonel In the Twentysxth, the
Twenty-eighth. Twenty-ninth. Thr-
tieth and Thirty first general as
sembly and, according to report, the
veteran has not changed his habits.
He may have the same chair in the
cloak room. along side Of the one for
merly occupied by Koontz Of Iowa
City. for all we know.
But there are other ways in which
Colonel Temple has not changed. II
was formerly the proper caper TO ex-
,clude the public whenever possible,
not only in the Iowa Legislature BIZ:

Recent reports from the peace

may be ready for signing by the end
of March. The German govern
ment's delegates will then be given .
chance to read it and sign it. 1t is
believed that Count Brockdorff-
Rantzau, foreign minister, will head
the German delegation to the confer
ence. The general idea prevailing
is that the German delegates will not
be given the right to ask for revision
Of the main points Of the treaty.
