LIT TINE ASSEMBLY KEEP ITS STANDING.

II the legislature permits itself TO
become fractional over the investiga-
ton which Is 10 be made Of the
pardoning of Rathbun Il will dis
appoint the state greatly. This leGis-
lature because of purposefulness has
taken a high place in public estima-
ton as sound. sensible and useful
body. It's qualities so FAR displayed
make it a notable assembly II starts
out with the opportunity 20 take a
prominent place in the history Of Iowa
legislative bodies
II should keep it, high standing. To
engage In a fIrtional light over Hard
ing and Havner would be to lose its
high character. This investigation is
assumed 10 be entirely on whether or
not the governor has been weak or
worse There is no question as 10 one
or the other.
For the house to permit any person
10 assume that L can not properly In
vestIgate this matter and come 10
a Just conclusion upon II is for the
house to Insult It's own intelligence
and integrity. II 1t desires all the
facts in the matter who can present
them better than Judge Kennedy who
made the previous Investigation and
has the procedure and the names o;
witnesses TO be called at his finger
ends.
The judiciary committee comprised
as il IS Of lawyers and governed BY
legal minds surely need not scar that
it is 70 De swept off its feet. It is a
judicial body. It's investigation nat
urally will be judic.ally conducted.
# investigation OF Havner's part II
the matter has been decided upon the
same committee should go INTO any
charges against the attorney general
n the same judicial way; but the
counter attack upon the attorney gen.
eral should not be made part Of this
particular investigation. Il does not
enter into the granting Of the pardon
one or another way what Havner did
or did not do after the pardon had
been granted. One case at a time.
The main point in this investigation
is investigation of the pardon and the
circumstances and facts bearing upon
the astonishing use of the executive
clemency. Until that is settled and
action taken upon it let other in
vestigations wait. After that if a de-
LUCE is coming to another whether it
be the attorney general or any other
let it come.
But the assembly should keep its
high ground ard retain its high stand
ing. The personal fights Of one and
another politician do not belong with
this investigating committee. It should
have neither SHINING knives nor
salsorrine in the committee room.
The question before the house is not
Havner or Harding but the facts in
connection with q pardon which was
granted under circumstances that
have made it a matter of national
comment.

Topics Of The Times

President Wilson is to be commended
for his demand that the German war
ships ne saved for some useful pur-
pose. In letter he says that the pro-
posa1 to sink them seems TO me like
the counsel OF those who do not know
what else to do"
II is reported that Uncle Sam will
charge Germany $40, 900. for each life
lost by Illegal sinking Of merchant
ships and enough more 10 make a bill
of nearly a billion dollars having seiz-
ed about enough German property in
this country to secure the claim with
adequate collateral.
II Germany had all the hogs there
are in Iowa she would have nearly re-
stored her pre- war pig population.
Havner IS being unjustiy censured
for being mixed in the pardon row but
the facts are that Havner has won
all OF his law points so far. II was
his duty as the states attorney to send
his deputy to help convict the criminal
and when the governor pardoned the
self confessed rapist it was the attor-
ney generals bounden duty as the
states lawyer TO overthrow the pardon,
which ne did quite successfully. The
governor seeks 10 involve Havner the
more but let US recognize only the
states attorney.
Fire which consumed a MARSHALL
town residence recently suggests that
few buildings now are covered with
sufficient insurance to replace them at
present greatly advanced costs for re-
construction.
President Wilson has signed the bill
providing for three times as much fed
eral aid for roads as was provided be-
fore. Iowa will now get about $40
90. for each county within the next
three years. An equal amount must
be expended by the state and the en-
tire profit approved by the federal road
authorities. This with increased auto
licenses and assessments on nearby
land viii give us many graveled roads
! and few paved roads.
