left, and stole a quantity, believed to
be about half bushel, from the fine

Corners. The choicest variety of eat

there is some suspicion as to the guilty

keep out of Europe and have Europe keep out
of America. Let the other nations work out
their internal problems as best they can while
we work out our own. This hemisphere is dedi-
Gated to the proposition that the nations there
in shall be free to live their own lives and de-
velop along their chosen lines without inter
ference from the rest of the world. This has
worked magnifcently well. 1t has made us

end that we do not understand it to permit

tinent or American interference in European
affairs except as our aid and good offices are

EURoPE's TRADE RECOVERY.

In Its latest bulletin on foreign trade matters
the Guaranty Trust company, of New York City,
voices its optimism over the recovery of the ma
tons of Europe from the shock to indus
try and its losses in men and money. This
comes evidently in answer to less favorable
views of the situation held by men of affairs,
and published by them. The Guaranty bulletin
calls attention to the legislation in France and
Italy, passed within the last fortnight, by which
heavier taxes are levied and greater revenues
provided to fund the public debts of these ma
tons; it is just to regard action of this kind i'm
mediately following the war and In face OF
peace delays evidence of national strength.
Moreover, the Guaranty company believes that
there is good evidence of a returning to normal
in these nations. Travellers returning from
Europe" it says, bring word that the situa-
ton in general is slowly improving For in
stance, travel conditions, while still far from
normal, are much better than they were only a
month or two ago. Trains are more numerous,
and the schedules are more closely adhered to.
The morale of the people is visibly i'm
proving. Their problems are being defined, and
the natural human optimism is asserting itself. -
And here is a lesson for American exporters
and traders. They must give confidence where
they give credit and credit they must give for
some little time longer if Europe is to have the
means which will make recovery quick and GER
tain, her own will to recovery being taken for
granted. Foreign investments by American
capital are being planned and a full measure of
confidence is desirable as these investments m
crease. We are at present good statesmen, but
if we are to continue our dominating hold on
world trade we must be good tradesmen. A
good tradesman not only sells advantageously
but buys wisely, with the constant motive of
mutual advantage In exchange. 1t is this spirit
which must animate parties to the reconstruc-
ton of world commerce and this spirit can only
develop in an atmosphere of mutual confidence.

HOW WE CHANGE.

Des Moines Tribune: One n, -.
older residents OF Des Moines CAV,
the city never had more than fis. .
private carriages with driver,
fine coupe formerly cost about 81 ooa
and with team and equipment the -
vestment amounted to $500 ri
$4,000. II
1t is likely the city never had
more than 25 private carriages tha,
were kept as automobiles are kan,
now with men whose sole bushes,
1t was to care for their equipaees
Everybody can remember what Al
distinction a private carriage gavs
in days not longer ago than is years
The owner of ten automobiles would
not equal it now. In fact the Ode,
residents have mental pictures ID
every notable private carriage and
the horses that drew it.
Today what a private carriage and
the horses cost buys only one of ths
medium priced cars. Nobody who
figures on an automobile starts low
err than what was considered the
height OF prodigality then.
And 1t has all come about In fifteen
years at the most.
The strangest feature Of this Won
derful advance is that nobody is con
scious Of it. and it is only by com
parison that we can take it in now.
Relatively people hold about til.
same position towards each other az
they did then, and relatively tn.
struggle is now precisely what it wa;
then. Therefore we are not con
scieus that we have changed position
any.
And yet think back to the days d
the old Slavery dining room and thu
Evans cafe, and So day hotel rate
American plan. 1t was q shock Il
the state when the Des Moines hotel!
began to charge more than 81 DAY
for room and meals.
1t is hard to realize that never Il
the history of mankind has a com
munity had SO much money as low
has today. and never has commnni
ty enjoyed SO many luxuries as low;
enjoys today.
If material comfort is really tn
foundation OF fine civilizatin AM
high culture Iowa ought to max
some great strides in the coming de
cade.

- Fatal omeIette.

New York Sun: Ignorance OF cook
ing is not often the direct cause OF a
mans death, but such an instance IS
found in the history of France, In
the time Of the French revolution
one Monsieur Condorcet, upon whose
head as an aristocrat a price was
set, sought refuge with friend,
Monsieur Suard. who babe him re-
turn at nightfall, when means of es'
cape would be provided.
Unhappily, Condorcet, being unable
to exist without tobacco. went into a
tavern to buy some. Still PROSTATE
from fatigue, he thought he would
take advantage OF this opportunity 10
get some dinner. and ordered an
omelette.
How many eggs do you wish 70
be used?" inquired the landlord, VINO
had been cycling him suspiciousiy
The innocent Condorcet was at hii
wits end; he reflected upon the SIZE
of the ordinary omelette.
Twelve" he boldly replied.
His fate was sealed; none but an
aristocrat could be so ignorant or s.
extravagant. He was arrested anc
led away to prison, from which he
never emerged.

A GOOD MOVE.

Admission Of negro labor into its ranks by
the American Federation of Labor is good
move and timely one. Approximately, negroes
comprise one-seventh of our industrial popuia-
ton. This labor contingent is OF size and poten-
TALLY to be of Importance in our reconstruction
planning By admission of negro workers into
federated labor skilled labor Is rldded OF the
color line; the animosity latent because OF DIS
elimination is done away with. Moreover,
there will be an influence at work to supple
1nent effort to educate negro labor to better
status. The southern states have learned their
lesson they are willing to do better justice TO
the negro populace because they know how
much they need negro labor, which after all
probably is best fitted of any class of labor we
have to fill the needs of the southern states.
Some reactionaries in the south bewail this
move of the labor federation because of its in
fiuence to unsettle the minds OF the negroes
still more but this is poor judgment OF It's IN
fluence The negro knows his best hope IS IN
earning and holding the cooperation OF the
white people OF the nation His leaders have
asked for justice for him In proportion as this
Is given, just appreciation and proper con
duct under new opportunities Will be demanded
of the Negro II the south is wise, it will seek
III every way to bring about the betterment Of
its negro labor. since in this way that labor will
be content To gtay where it is and where it Is
badly needed

THE INSURANCE BLOW UP.

New York Tribune: Soldiers and
soldiers dependents who have vainiy
waited for the postman Will not dis-
pute the conclusion reached by Col
onel Lindsey, head of the war insur..
ance board, that his bureau did not
dc the things for which Is was
created.
1.-The bureau" said the colonel. as
he made for the door after filing his
resignation In disgust, lis not In GOOD
repute with soldiers and their fam
lies" The government sold 1nsur-
ance at lower price than any private
company, for the government met all
overhead expenses; but cancellations
swept in. Money due was not forth
coming. The men did not know the
reasons, but they recognized the ef-
fccts, and did not like the way the
government did business.
1t is of course inconceivable that
either Mr.. McAdoo, the former secre-
tury, or Mr.. Glass, the present secre-
tary OF the treasury, Intentionally
made botch Of the insurance bust
ness. Every consideration, moral and
political, selfish and unselfish, urged
them to expediate payments. But req
tape was too much for them. 1t was
impossible to speed up. A government
bureaucratic machine is operated by
practised buck" passers. The bust
ness of avoiding responsibility has
been developed into science. Rules
and Neutrality-suspicious. are the gods
idolatrously worshipped, for exper'
fence has shown 1t is not safe to exer-
else discretion. If there is departure
from path bordered by triplicate re-
ceipts and anything goes wrong no
excuse is tolerated.
Looked at in vacuum, there Is no
discernible reason why man who
has managed a private concern eff
GENTLY cannot manage government
bureau equally well. But successive
explosions at washington leave no
doubt that personal ability and zeal
at the top are not enough. The whole
government system must be rebuilt
and charged with new spirit. AS
long as it Is the habit to prescribe In
book of instructions how everything
must be done false motion and exces-
sive slowness are inevitable.
Government operation has been
given a blow whose effects will en-
drre for many years. Not because in
efficiency is inherent in public man
agement, not because it has no fair
chance unless there is first an intro
drction of elasticity into its methods.
Before government ownership is feas-
ible there must be administrative
independence and riddance had or
the interlocking and the round Veto
ing which are inseparable from man
asement by rules and regulations.

for fear they cannot get their crops

they will receive. Iowa farmers never

AMENITIES.

New York Evening Telegram:
United States Senator Lawrence Y.
Sherman is hard hitting statesman
who never cares whether his left
hand knows what HIS right hand does
if his right hand is clenched and
in active motion. He has been g
vigorous and unsparing critic of many
of the foreign policies Of the present
administration, and is strengthened
in his opposition now that he has in
Medill Mccormick a republican col
league, succeeding J. Ham Lewis, the
democratic whip and spokesman for
the democratic administration.
Making friends by man in public
life entails, unfortunately, the pen
atty of making enemies, too. But
Senator Sherman is Indifferent to
this, as the following acidulous but
enlightened correspondence shows.
An Illinois man wrote to the sena-
tor:
Dear Sir-Wny are you con-
stantly attacking the president Of
the United States in the senate?
l think in this. you are an ass.
Senator Sherman replied in kind
and with force as follows:
Dear Sir-Yours of the -, in
which you called me an ass, re-
ceived. 70

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
COST AND WORTH.

COST AND WORTH.
Thus il is all over the earth.
That which we call the fairest,
And prize for its exceeding worth
Is always rarest
Iron is heaped in mountain piles,
And gluts the laggard FORCES;
But gold flakes CLEAN in dim denles
And lonely gorges.
The snowy marble necks the land
With heaped and rounded lodges,
But diamonds hide within the sand
Their starry edges.
God gives no value unto man
Unmatched by need OF LABOR;
And cost TO worth has ever been
The closest neighbor.

WHY THIS SOLDIER LEFT HOME.

The story of the returned soldier boy in Co
hasset, Mass, who has left home with declar-
alton of intention never to return is by no
means incredible when facts are reviewed. This
young hero came back to as cordial welcome
as any awaiting our returned warriors. But he
came back to home diet prepared on the bal
anced raioned plan. In the menus timed beans
had prominent place; also there was timed
salmon, timed hash, timed corned beef, bread
pudding and condensed milk for his coffee.
Now it seems that no soldier is likely to i'm
nediately cry for any of these preserved edibles
FOR the simple reason that he has had enough
of them for the present; perhaps for long flu
ture stretch of time. No matter how we'll corn
ed beef is prepared it is for him ''bully beef"
an Irish stew with all it's proper effulgence is
to him "slum." The Cohasset boys protests
were treated with indulgent kindness; they
were laid to nervousness resulting from wars
rigors The timed diet went and the young
man went away from it and refuses to return
This suggests to the many good people who
have returned soldiers to feed and make happy
that there are diet don 'ts'' it is well to heed
