FULL MEN AND FIRST GLASS GlTlzENs.

one of the officers in the Rainbow
division when riding on a street car in
New York City was accosted by a
woman who asked to what division he
had belonged. The officer told her,
She was voluble in her parise Of the
division and taking a $50 bill from her
purse pressed it's acceptance upon the
officer who. of course, refused politely,
though much Inundated. Her insist
ence made 1t necessary for the officer
10 speak very plainly, much to the re-
sentiment of the woman.
Too many people at home have the
idea held by this woman. that they can
pay in $40 bills for such service and
that the soldiers who gave it are ready
to receive tips from the hands of the
stay-at- homes. Ii is an attitude most
insulting toward the soldiers who
fought in the war. and while the twen-
ty dollar bill patriot means well so far
as he and she have intelligence TO know
is not the less humiiiating TO soldiers.
The American soldier is not coming
back with a hand held out to charity
but to citizenship and the opportuni-
ties of citizenship. 1t is with those OPP
portunities that we may show our ap-
probation Of their service, not with an
individual checkbook or u 500 bill talk
en- from fatpurse If he is not disabled
he asks only ar even hreak with other
men and given that he will hold his
own. If he is disabled he is the cred
itor Of the country and the state and
the community and the debt must be
paid as such. not by the impulsive
charity of those who would hand out a
bill or coin and pass on with a sense
of duty and responsibility relieved
The returning soldier is full man
and first class citizen. Treat him so.

All the roads can not be built In a
year or in several years; but unless

the regulations OF the federal govern
ment we shall lose tho federal aid In

the cost To the individual taxpayer Will
be proportionately increased.
Federal aid money and auto license
money can be spent only to make GER
tain classes of highways. Those are
principal roads Those funds can not
be shifted here and there by local
jealousies" or the favor of boards and
commissions and committees.
A start must be made somewhere.
Dog in the manger jealousies will only
prevent starting and delay all prog
ress. The county which INDUCES in
those 'jealousies" will find itself at the
tail of the procession. 1t will wait for
roads while others enjoy them and will
pay for its quarreling and hairpulling
in hard cash.
When the plan and cost and con-
ditlons are fully known and under
stod the petty jealousies will largely
be confined to petty people. SO much
more reason for complete publicity and
thorough education of the public on the
road law and the conditions of federal
aid, the cost of the roads, the length
of time it will take to pay out with
the auto tax, and all that concerns
permanent highways for Iowa.

LOCAL ROAD JEAL0USIES."

The Monticello Express thinks the
road law will not bring roads quickly
1t suggests that local jealousies will
prevent.
The suggestions that the main roads
shall not be made because the side
roads are not to be finished at the
same time is both unwise and in its
way derogatory to the intelligence and
prosressiveness of Iowa farmers and
townsnen. To suggest that a man
two miles off the main road will not be
glad to see an enduring and disable
highway wherein he may travel the
remaining six miles perhaps to market
is TO detract from his intelligence. And
especially so when the cost of the road

KOREANS MAKE PLEA
 FOR INDEPENDENCE
People Submit Petition and Help of Wilson and CIenenCeau Asked

Paris, May 12.-A petition from the Korean people and nation asking for liberation from Japan was submitted to the neace conference today hv ren- resentatives of Korea. The petition also asks for recognition of Korea, as an independent state and for the nulli- fication of the treaty of August 1910
 Washington, May 12.-Recognition by the peace conference of Korea's claim to independence was urged by pr. Syngham Knee, secretary of the provisional Korean government. in a message sent to President Wilson and Premier CIemenceau asking that the Council of Four grant an audience to the provisional governments repre- sentativ in Paris.
 'It is the unanimous and passionate desire of the Korean people to have a free and absolute independent eov- ernment of their own choice. as if is their belief without such a govern ment they cannot develop into a Christian and free democracy" the message said.
 The Korean people have solemnly sworn to resist all existing authorities i'll Korea other. than their own pro- visional government. The only way Korean people can be compelled to submit to the illegal immoral and self-appointed authorities is by using brutal force. I regret to state to you that brutal force now is promiscuously used to suppress the independence movement of the Korean people,
 The provisional government hoDes your honorable body will use it's good offices to persuade this offending mem- per to desist from practicing such in human tactics for the purpose of re- taining her ill-gotten territory It is reflection on your League of Nations and it is certainly a blot on modern civilization"

ENGLAND PREPARING PEACE CELEBRATION
Fireworks Will Play Prominent
 Part in Big National Joyiest

11ohdon, May 3 Correspondence of 1he Associated Press. )-Huge pyro- eechhlc displays are to be the chief feature or England's celebration of peace In addition to chains of bon nres on hills and heights, civic au- thorltles throughout the country are arranging brilliant spectacles of fire "orks, and the demand for fireworks Tor private suburban displays is al- ready greater than the manufa cturers can supply.
 The police are strongly encoura ging the fireworks plan as against an aim- less wandering about the streets of masses of people in holiday mood as during the armistice celebration week. London. To prevent congestion of the streets, it is purposed to have five or six pyrotechnic exhibitions in parks in various parts of the city, making all the displays of similar interest so that the people will remain in their own districts.
 The scheme of the committees ill charge of the celebration is to pro duce illumination which can be seen rom long distances. The giant bon fire flares will be accompanied by rockets and other effects. The fire works are expected to be far superior to anything previously shown in this country, the experience of the war having led to some beautiful devel- opments.
 One new kind gives out a light of a peculiar penetrating brilliancy. It is so bright that when it was given g. demonstration by government conn., mittee a fire brigade @ mile away thought there was a big conflagration and rushed to the scene.

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

Wall Street, 10:30 a. m.-The suc- cess of the Victory loan afforded the basis for a further advance of prices at the opening of today's stock mar ket, although gains were moderate in comparison to last weeks sensational movements. Coppers, motors, food and low priced oils rose an average of a point, Industrial Alcohol gained 2 and American Tobacco 3. A g point reaction in Texas Co.,, the recent mar ket's favorite, suggested renewed sell ing of some of the more speculative issues
 Wall Street, noon.-The character of the trading underwent a sharp change during the extremely active forenoon. Oils, shippings and rails gave way to steels, coppers and relat- ed metals, notably Silver shares. U. S. Steel, American Smelling ana U s.
