IT WOULD BE WELL TO CLAN UP.

The department OF justice will re-
commend TO congress deportation OF
the aliens now interned in this country.
Special legislation will be necessary
and it is proposed to include perpetual
banishment from the United States IN
that legislation. Somewhere between
5000 and 1000 persons are thus IN
termed, the exact number is not known
because the department has never
given out the number. Among the
trained and paid propagandists and
agents Of Germany however are many
suspected Of gathering information for
the enemy and favoring that enemy
country after war was declared be-
tween this country and Germany
There isn't much doubt that con-
gress will grant the legislation. The
sense Of the country will favor 1t.
Those alien enemies DO not belong here
and once deported should be kept out.
The war Is not over because an arm
istice has been granted and peace terms
are to be signed. 1t leaves with US
a much deeper understanding OF
patriotism and loyalty and a moro
stern resolution that those who are not
for US are against US and We against
them. Lately person whose family
name has been matter of public men
ton in connection with certain war
activities and lack Of activities re
marked: The war is over. Don't talk
about it" There was that in the war
that he did not care to have talked OF.
But the American people will talk OF
the war and remember disloyalists and
slackers and so-caled conscientious
DIRECTORS DESTROYS OF avoiding and
evading their common duty. Doubt it
not. The enemy alien may be and
should be deported. The disloyal and
the unloyal will never while they live
be able to wash the bar sinister of
the Stacker from their shields.
This generation will neither forget
nor condone offenses great or less
against this country at war. The atti-
tude that We must forget and forgive
and speak below breath OF such
offenses will never be taken by Amer
leans who have seen and suffered in
this war now at its close.
1t Is pity that we can not include
with the alien enemies those who were
not friends and supporters Of the gov
ernment and the country that shelters
them

Whether or not the newspapers say
anything about it the roads Iowa must
travel in bad or rainy weather keep up
the argument for good roads. And they
have had the floor most of the winter
so far.
II would be worth while changing
the administration II only to get rid
of Burleson. And there are other
good and numerous reasons.
The job Of fitting the soldiers into
their places in peace Is best left main
" to the soldiers themselves. They will
slip back into tn body polite quietly
and effectively with little counsel
and assistance. Then, too. what a SOL
der desires to follow in peace is most
ly his own business.
SO far nobody has suggested Ban
Johnson for president Of the league Of
nations.
1t is said that Karl Kueanle and
Secretary W. w. Allen are likely to be
candidates for governor. At that Karl
has it all over Allen but there's small
chance for either the way things are
shaping up. Still Allen has got away
with the state secretary ship time and
time again. nobody understands how.

The best thing labor and employers
and the large number Of men who viii
soon be seeking employment can do is
to meet the situation az sanely as
possible, refuse to fight each other and
settle on the best possible basis most
equitable to all interests. A labor war
would be almost as disastrous rs any
other war.
The suggestion that every member
of the present general assembly should
be obliged to drive overland to De-
Moines for the session IS a shrewd one.

The Stacker thinks that the war is

Disqualification Prebl.m..

The present curious situation uf war
without war Is becoming a very deli
cate one for the United States and the
allied governments. The fact that
active hostilities are no longer in 30
gress has naturally created the desire
on the part Of the enlisted men and
their families that military service
should come to an end as speedily as
possible. SO as 10 allow the men to re-
turn to civil life. But this legitimate
itary necessities Of the situation which
are still of The most urgent NATURE
The first of these necessities is the
army OF occupation, which must hold
the conquered territory Until peace is
signed and the necessary guarantees
given for the fulfillment Of the peace
conditions. In view Of the utter scrup-
ulousness which the enemy has given
proof OF during the four years Of war.
precautions against treason are tndis-
pensable. At least q million men must

frontiers alone. AS the Italian army

patton cannot be defined in the slight
est degree. II may be one year ana II
may be ten. During that period, what
ever it may be. these three powers
must each keep over 100000 men on
war footing.
There is yet another side to the
question, the terms o; enlistment. The
American draft and the so-calied
Kitchener army In Great Britain are
enlisted for the duration OF the war
and six months thereafter. Inc
French army, having compulsory null
tary service, is technically on dif-
ferent footing, but in reality will sup
port prolonged military service with
as much impatience as the British and
American troops. On what system
will the choice of the men to be re-
tanned In the service be made? The
only fair way would be to draw lots

MEMORIALS
Huntington HawkeyeJ


There seems to be general unanim-
ity as to the suggestion. 'nat towns
and counties should erect or plan some
kind of suitable memorials IN nonor
of the men who went forth to make
the world safe for democracy. That
there should be something done, OF that
there is no doubt. The trouble begins
al soon as the attempt is made TO
agree upon the thing that Is TO Dc
done. Hence there is ever the danger
that after m almost intefminADle de-
bate. the debaters will grow weary OF
the subject and the thing taken up
with great enthusiasm will be dropped
and forgotten. Another case OF en-
terprises Of great pith and moment
losing the name Of action.
Perhaps for the dwellers on the
Mississippi, the suggestion might prove
acceptable, that the Oldest thing mere.
the thing that viii endure aftef much
else shall have passed away. Will be
the grand old river. And 1t will seem
fair and reasonable to many. that the
memorial, whatever form 1t may take
be near the river.
So far as the river cities are con-
cerned. the river front Is necessarily
their front yard. In some cities. this
front yard has been made thing OF
beauty. In others 1t has been neg
lected and presents a pitiful and for
lorn appearance. In the latter class OF
cities, it ought to be an easy mat
ter to find the proper solution OF the
problem. what form that memorial Is
to take. There ought to be no ques-
ton in such cities. that the city's front

The question Of housing and living
conditions seems to have a fatal at
traction for those not particularly
practical minded. For more than a
year, with the most obvious thing to DO
confronting them. all sorts OF federal
departments muddled the building
situation In the Philadelphia district
and they are still talking about 1t.
They talked about IL at the housing
conference In Philadelphia last spirns.
in Boston q month ago, and different
groups are comforting informally over
the problems every now and then,
and the frst week OF the year will see
another conference In Philadelphia this
conference also to be devoted to the
housing question. And yet as one
listens to the talks at the conferences.
TO the articles in the architectural
magazines and elsewhere. a great deal
OF confusion Is stirred up over what Is
essentially. or should be. a simple
question.
At the present, for instance, there
are some who, simply because the
government was forced to go into in
tensive housing projects in connection
with war industries. would have the
government, continue TO operate the
housing In = curious sort OF federal
paternalsm. which would make OF
the workingman In certain trades a
kind Of special pampered class. Others
would 20 to the other extreme and get
as far away as is possible from any
thing more than local supervision OF
housing. Naturally. the golden mean is
probably the sane and sensible course.
An un-American paternalism will
surely be avoided by most communities
and states. But that does not mean
that community plus state supervision
will not in the future have a deeper
interest in the housing issue as part Of
an up-to-date and intelligent system
Of community planning in which livable
living conditions. as well as the ply
steal aspect OF any structure. will be
taken into consideration. For as the
clears along the more prac-
teal lines. 1t is evident from reports
all over the country that progressive
states will go in for more definite
control Of planning and housing thru
the Intermediary Of some kind of
state comnission.-Philade Pub

Knoxville, Tenn.-SurpaSSed only by
the Roosevelt dam aud Niagara falls,
and the largest dam east Of the RnUSe-
welt dam, is the mammoth new dam
just completed at Cheoah. in the noun
tuins A miles south Of Knoxville.
Twelve hundred men worked over
two years on it. Two hundred thou
sand cubic yards of concrete We're
used. 1t is 210 feet high from surface
of river to crest. 1t raises a mist 100
feet high as its water strikes the river
after flowing over the top. Ii is $50
feet long at the base, 20 feet long at
the top, 1I5 feet thick at the base and
II feet thick at the top. Six days We're
required TO fill the lake behind il,
which is ten miles long; engineers had
figured on u days, but a heavy rain
helped. 1t will produce 1900 units
more of horsepower than the combined
consumption of Knoxville, Memphis,
Chattanooga and Nashville, or over
$4,000 horsepower. 1t is almost iden-
teal with the Roosevelt dam in the
West. The cost was over 100000.
Another dam will also be built in that
region. 1t was built by and for the
Knoxville Power company, an ally OF
the Aluminium Company of America.
