An EMPloYkEs SERVICE FLAG.

When the man from the man from
factory or store or farm went to war
the institution employing him wished
him God speed and put q flag in the
window with star deinonstrative Of
the patriotism ard service Of the par
tlcular institution whence he set out
to make the world safe for democracy.
Most Of them said 10 the warrior on
job will be here waiting for you"
Well. the war is over. The warriors
are coming back-unless they are kept
in camp while early birds cop the good
jobs-they are coming back and a con-
siderable number OF them are banking
on the pledges made when they went
away.
How many are keeping the pledges
The public desires as much to know
that as 1t did to know that this or that
institution had SO many men in the
service as represented by the service
stars. And out on the Pacific coast
they have devised way Of finding out
Il is a promise keepers flag. Blue
with star shaped center the stars
within the star show how many re-
turned soldiers are employed in that
factory. store or whatever the !nstitu-
ton may be. Across the flag runs the
legend Il have kept faith with the men
who entered our country's service"
The last flag is the great opportuni-
" Of employers. The men went. No
body sent them. They were taken.
Nobody gave them. That an institu-
ton had lost so many workers to the
service was a matter o: pride. But
that 1t has met the returning soldier
half way on the road back and hast
ered TO keep the pledge spoken or I'M
spoken the country made TO them
when they want is thing to be bla-
zoned with propriety as well as pride.
Hang up the employers service flag
| beside that which bears the service
| stars Of the employees. Match one star
| with another.

UNFORTUNATE DAVENPORT.

Davenport Is unfortunate, Any CITY
Is unfortunate where crowd OF any
kind can be gathered 10 invite Mrs.
O'Hare and others OF her Tx TO ad-
dress her and cheer her billingsgats
directed against the officials and
Judges who frowned upon and punished
disloyalty such as brought about her
conviction.
While the war was on the persons
and partisans who brought Mrs,
O'Hare to Davenport would have fore
gone their meeting and a few would
have cheered her predictions OF social
revolution by an American bolsheviki.
That is the doctrine she and her ilk
preach, the doctrine OF the Lenines
and the Trotskys. Davenport is thus
unfortunate in having a group OF al
legged citizens who could call a woman
under sentence 10 a prison term At
Leaveuworth for guilty interference
with the conduct OF the war and still
aldermen who sat upon the platform
whence she spoke and thus gave her
and her outbreaks their Endorsement.
Free speech is not utter license 10
rant in public against law and order
and advise resistance. Some way
should be found to shut the public
mouths of the Bergers and the O'Hares
without waiting for the prison doors 10
close upon their clamors.
Davenport is unfortunate. She must
bear the stigma Of her social anarchists
as a parent must the stigma Of dis
graced children.
II might be suggested to Davenport
that Des Moines denied Mrs O'Hare a
building TO speak in. Also that in most
Iowa communities Mrs. O'Hare would
not be allowed TO insult this country
and its laws whoever hired the hall.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Crow lived in his tall pine tree. And.
wasn't it lucky! That wise old bird
was at home, and as soon as he saw
them he put on his spectacles and
opened his little Black Book.
Now listen to me and will read
A verse from my little Black Book.
You'll never go wrong IL you'll follow
my song:
So wait til Just take a look"
And then that wise Professor Bird
turned to page 23h.
So please resolve before it's done
To be polite and good
And help your father saw the wood"
And then he closed his book with
such a bang that pine cone fell of
the tree and hit Uncle Lucky on the
top of his old wedding stovepipe hat.
Please be careful, Professor Crow"
said the old gentleman rabbit. Pm
very fond Of my old wedding stovepipe
hat
For I have worn IL every day
Since that most happy time
When orange blossoms were In
bloom
And wedding bells did chime"
And then that dear old gentleman
rabbit wiped his eyes with his blue
silk polka dot handkerchief, for Mrs.
Lucky Lefthindfoot had been dead for
many years. But dear Uncle Lucky
had never forgotten her. And in the
next story you shall hear what hap
pened after that.

WILSON'S SECRECY.

The president has been In Europe

ferred with statesmen In all the al

of what things he has insisted upon

which has come without censorship
IS contained in his public addresses
all Of which were largely threshins

to the opportunities when the at
tempt was made to place ban on
information 10 the public and in
formed the conference that the Amer
lean people demanded the privilege
on all occasions OF sitting in Judg-
ment on the acts of their servants;
that they were abundantly intelligent
TO command or condemn with reasons
and fairness the acts and policies OF
such servants: and that before setting
sail for the conference he had pledged
his Official word that Information
should be free and unccnsored. ana
that because OF these conditions in his
own nation. he could not join in a
secret agreement but must consider
himself free TO enlighten the people at
home through the medium OF the press,

WORKING SOUTH.
(IOwa CITY Republican. I

Secretary Bakers proposal to have
tie Government purchase the various
camp sites sounds sweet to the greedy
ears OF a great many southern land
owners. Practically all the camp sites
are located In the south. Several which
before the war were laid out In the
north. were later abandoned for
southern sites, notably the mother OF
them all, Pla,tsburg, founded by Gen.
eral Wood, II Is said that many mil
lions OF government money--taxpayers
money-will be required TO effect the
purchases OF the various sites which
would be most acceptable to the south
because that section, after paying ten
per cent Of the costs OF the war has
been dismissed with but niggardly
20 per cent OF the appropriations for
and other war emer-
gency structures, while cotton which
was going begging at 10 cents before
the war was BY some evil combination
OF circumstances held to slightly under
40 cents per pound last year, although

ling agencies, nor was taxation.
