Perry Chief: The coal miners can

are eliminated half of the troubles
Of the miners will have disappeared.
Davenport Times: The court order

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The govern
ment has shown 1t can be depended

crisis. Government by injunction is
not popular and is not part of the

with reason, the government must
step in to save the. situation.
Des Moines Capital: The labor
agitator is opposed to a permanent
tribunal for the settlement of strikes
because he has become used to the
applause pertaining to his work. He
goes before his fellow workmen and
makes a good speech. Not many Of
those who hear him can make good
speeches and they are disposed to
honor him and to follow him. The
agitator generally is a vain man, just
as a majority OF political speakers
are vain. He is not anxious for his
job to disappear. But this country

article, the admiral says not enc

attack is limited to the Sim Feinera.
| One does not need to go further
than cannon De Valera to learn that
Sim Feiners were openly disloyal to
the cause of the allies against Ger
many. De Valera said in his speech
at Milwaukee,:
And Just as in the Yast war we
recognized but one enemy, The
enemy that denied us our own
just rights, that was tyTannizing
over us and exploiting us, and
against that enemy we fought and
as it was war for our liberty,
we were a part of that war;,
This can mean nothing If not that
while Great Britain was fighting
against Germany, just as France
and Italy did and just as we did, the
Sim Feiners were trying to ham
string England, and, doing SO, were
menacing Belgium France, and the
United States. No gloss about lib
erty can hide that fact and If any
Americans of Irish blood defend the
course of the Sim Feiners, then
truly they deserve the condemnation
not only of Admiral Sims, but of Mi
loyal Americans. Americans during
the war knew but one enemy.

MEXICO AND THE JENKINs CASE.

McsA4OO <aN0 EiS1AAiS@ SIASA1'
! The Mexican government has nltely re-
fused to pay any sum as ransom money Tor the
release of American Consul jenkins who was
kidnapped from his station at Puebla, and for
whose release his attorneys paid the bandits
i one hundred and fifty thousand dollars In this
connection it is interesting to note the policy
that has been pursued by this government IN
somewhat similar cases.
In 1910 an Italian subject was murdered by
an armed mob at Tampa, Florida. Congress
appropriated six thousand dollars for his heirs
lat a later date the senate passed bill to pay
two thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven
dollars and seventy-eight cents to three Nor
Iwegian SUBJECTS members OF a crew OF Nor
iwegian snip, who were detained by New Jersey
authorities as witnesses in criminal case, and
later released on habeas corpus proceedings
In February, 1902 there were riots in South
Omaha, III the course of which injuries were in
flicted on subjects of Austria-Hungary, Greece
and Turkey. The senate passed bill to pay
iindemnities to those governments IN the sums
Of eight hundred dollars, forty thousand dol
lars and two hundred and thirty dollars, re-
spectvely The two latter measures failed of
final enactment into law because Of the lateness
Of the session Of congress.
Responsibility for the payment of those in
the United States when the bills were passed
But moral obligation was assumed and the
money appropriated las matter or
grace If earlier records of congress were to
be searched doubtless other precedents would
be found showing it to be the established policy
of this government to make indemnity for for
leigh subjects injured or killed in riotous out
breaks.
1t may be technically true that the Carranza
government cannot be directly compelled to
make restitution to Mr.. jenkins of the sum he
was obliged to pay because OF the failure OF
that government to preserve order. But there
are other ways than the writing Of diplomatic
notes by which Mr.. Carranza can be made to
understand that it is to his advantage to make
reimbursement. The Mexican president has
received many concessions from this govern
Iment and is seeking more. By a judicious hand
ling of his requests the state department can i'm
press upon that gentleman the necessity OF
clearing the Jenkins affair from the list of diff
ferences between the United States and Mexi-
co.
1t is safe to say that there never has been a
more disgraceful performance in our diplomatic
annals than the idnping of Mr.. Jenkins from
his official post of duty, and the extortion of a
one hundred and fifty thousand dollar ransom
upon threat of death That Jenkins, a duly APP
pointed official of the United States government,
should be made to suffer that monetary loss to
say nothing of the affront to his and his coun-
Itry's dignity, is unheard Of 1t should be the
business of the department of state to take
prompt and decisive steps to correct the miser-
able record in this case.

1t seems that the government publicity
through the mails was not the only greatly in
creased publicity of the war. The chairman of
the house committee on accouts finds that the
cost of kilograms sent by members of congress
at government expense was twenty-siy thou
sand, forty two dollars and ffty-three cents in
1915, which seems rather large item. But in
1918 the amount rose to forty-four thousand,
eight hundred and fourteen dollars and forty
six cents and for the year ending June 30, 1919,
lit was one hundred and eight thousand, nine
hundred and forty-seven dollars and fifty
cents The committee took number of tele-
grams and eliminated unnecessary words as
would be done by any business concern. A mes
sage costing twentysix dollars and thirty cents
was easily reduced in cost to six dollars and one
costing over thirty dollars was made perfectly
understandable at five dollars.

SWAP YOUR BOND
INTEREST FOR w. S. s.

Invest the interest Of your interest
in patriotism.
This is the request made by the
Ohio War Savings Committee, direct
ed to. holders of bonds Of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. Tuesday, April Is, was
interest day for the owners Of
bonds Of this issue; and the state W.
S. S. Committee is anxious to secure
the reinvestment Of the interest paid
to coupon holders in War Savings
Stamps.
The interest on Liberty Bonds paid
by the government represents free
money which is available for immed-
late reinveStment. Liberty Bond in
tcrest coupons, as such, do not earn
interest. Invested in War Savings
Stamps, the interest will earn APT
per cent interest, will be safely invest
ed and will be always available for a
pressing need.
Through the postoffice department,
the treasury department has arrang-
ed that Liberty Bond interest coupons
will be accepted as cash in the pur-
chase of War Savings Stamps at any
poStoffice.

ANDERSON GETS SOC DAMAGES

In the case Of Anderson VS.. Allard,
tried in Justice Ainsworth's court last
Thursday, judgment Of $50.40 for
defendant netted the plaintiff 80 cents.
Harley Anderson, Granger, entered
suit against A. j. Allard of the same
township for $50.40, with interest, for
wages due, claiming an agreement
had been entered into whereby he was
to receive SO much per month and feed
for a horse. Defendent denied that
there was an agreement whereby he
was to furnish feed for Anderson's
horse, and entered a counter claim Of
SLIT for feed already furnished.
After hearing the evidence the jury
returned a peculiarly worded verdict
which, when summed up, netted An
derson about 80 cents as interest
leaving the cost to be paid by Allard

Women and Victory
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw

No loyal American woman can view
the noble and generous position taken
by our country at the Supreme Coun-
ell in Paris without thrill Of pride
that she is citizen Of a country
ready to give everything, even life
itself, in the fulfillmeht OF its highest
ideals and asking nothing in return
save that it may share in the triumph
of justice and humanity over the age
long reign Of injustice and barbarism
which had enslaved the minds anc
souls of mankind
Such vindication could not be at
tanned without great expense. But
true to her traditions, our country is
dealing with it's own people in the
same spirit of justice which it has
shown to its enemies. 1t lays no arbis
trary material burden upon them
while refraining from exacting in
denmity from conquered nations.
Through the sale Of Liberty Bonds
and War Saving Certificates it has
provided q method by which, without
unduly burdening the poor or oppress-
ing the rich but with their coopera-
ticn end support in due time, out OF
the vast treasure house of its national
resources, its commerce and trade, ii
may repay the loan which it asks.
Once more the Nation calls its wo-
men to service. Hostilities have
ceased but peace is not yet attained
and until it is achieved they must
continue to bear their part. Their
country looks TO them for one more
supreme effort to secure the necessary
means to sustain the army of devot-
cd soldiers and to feed the millions
Of hungry people throughout the de-
yastated countries Of The East.
Our country does not ask its people
to give cne dollar, but it does ask
them to purchase Liberty Bonds. For
women, these bonds are the safest,
surest, and best investment the world
affords. There is no danger that the
interest viii fa,il; it viii not fluctuata
with the rise and fall Of the market;
there is no fear of bankruptcy; the
richest and most prosperous nation of
the world is their debtor; not only is
the interest secured, but in due sea-
son the principal viii be paid in full;
and they will not only have received
a regular and stable income for years,
but in addition their whole life will
be comforted by the satisfaction OF
knowing that when their country need
ed their cooperation they did not fail
Women have not failed to respond
to a single call, whether for their sons
their toll, OF their means. The vol
untary service OF women, who neither
expected nor received honor, position
or peeunialy reward, is the crowning
evidence of their loyalty and patriot
ic devotion to their country; and a;
they have never faltered in the past
so now, when this call comes, they
will respond with zeal which will
again carry the Nation over the tor
in this last great Liberty Bond Sale.

WHY THE W.S.S. PLANE

of the w. S. s, airplane which was

passenger and in an attempted demon
stration, the plane was driven into a

and his young lady passenger were
rescued from the tree top an hour
iater by the fire department.
This is the third plane that has been
demolished in the flight started across

So strongly are they favored that all
materials available are used for their
development.
Tier Skirts
Skirts built up in tiers are especial
ly favored by this fashion. The frock
shown here is developed in flowered
challis and the chemistte and cuffs
are of crisp organdie. The grace of
line and simplicity of style are the
salient features. A combination Of
three materiels is seen in the suit coat
illustrated. The underskirt founda-
tion section is developed in black sat
in, the upper section and coat are de-
veloped in serge, and the vest and col
lar are of heavy brocaded material,
rich III color. and orflafri entail in design.
For the magnificent waistcoats
which are seen, many designers use
wide ribbon Of fantastic design and
brilliant colorings.N 1t may be pur-
chased at any of the shops and with
the aid of a helpful pattern may be
executed by the home dressmaker.

NA'AS ANSASoh AAt NHehAlA0
This change we may easily hold
Paris responsible for. During the
craze for the long skirt here, Paris
slowly shook her head in disapproval
and now we are feeling the effects
of her negative mein. Street dresses,
suits, evening gowns, every skirt is
becoming shorter This will be a
welcomed style. for the discomfort of
the long tight skirt will be eliminated.
The shorter length makes the skirt
less cumbersome about the ankle,
thus affording more freedom in
walking. And freedom in walking
means grace of carriage, so we her
aid the mode with a sigh of content.
The same attitude that Paris took
toward the long skirt has been lavish
ed on the straw hat Though New
York is overrun with straw hats, re-
ports from Paris say that in the res
taurant and On the street one sees
little if any hats of straw. The
French women realize the folly OF
rushing the season and are clinging
to their hats which are developed
in fabrics. Of these satin seems to
be the most predominant material
used, and usually one finds ostrich
trimming present. If a touch OF
Spring is desired, the hats are grac-
ed with coquettish little flowers in
pastel shades.
Old-Time Challis
A myriad of designs are offered in
the fetching challis creations that
promise to be an essential part of the
summer wardrobe. This soft wooden
material makes up in the prettiest
designs. If the challis is of plain
color, then one deftly embroiders it
in silk or wool of contrasting color.
If it possesses pretty dots or delicate
stripes then one adds a collar of
sheer organdie or soft linen with
cuffs and sash to match.
Dressed in challis frock one wears
a hat of the same material which is
faced with straw or some contrast
ing material and completes the cos
time with a challis parasol. A frock
of foulard willg be desirable, and a
Paris designer presents an innovation
in the looping four times of the back
and front panel and bound in white
at the edges.
MOire Crepe de Chine
A new note in overblouses is the
use of moire crepe de chine. Moire
crepe de chine is effective in black
with bonnaz embroidery in pastel col
orings with girdle of self material.
The oriental spirit enters into these
blouses which have Chinese lines and
Japanese motifs. The Chinese round
neck and side opening are used, and
from Japan comes the pagoda and the
charming little garden scenes that
are developed in fine beads and dec
crate the unique blouses.

The models of New York are quite
as capricious as the weather. No
sooner is a style launched and ac-
cepted than something new attracts
the eye of the designers and then
another new mode. Such has hap
pened with the popular long, marrow
skirt. No longer is the long skirt the
smartest thing to wear. Skirts are
becoming shorter.
