THOU SHALT REJOICE IN THY FESTIVAL"

reward.
At the END of a desperate journey
undertaken and successfully accom-

the viscissitudes and agony of war and
overlooking the garnered crops OF a
bounuful season the Jewish festival
may he shared by all of US. Jew and
Gentle. We may all greatly rejoice in
our festival. II We have by righteous
exercise Of our might brought into the
world a wider understanding OF the
right Of races to endure and of men to
live free whatever their faith or I'M
faith may be, the gift is to all Of Us,
ried than TO ourselves. If it be true as
we say, then our own racial and re-
ugious prejudices are due to fade ana
w!ther under this new, strong flame Of
democracy which we declare We have
lighted lad our elder claims that men
are born free and equal despite race,
color or previous condition OF servi-

months to q wider acceptance Of our
own theories Of human rights. not only
as written but as We shall practice
them; for we are still all upon long
and toilsome Journey and yet beyond
the borders Of that Canaan all men and
peoples crave to enter.
Among other matters we might de-
eide TO give a less constant worship to

that brought a forty-year curse upon

WHAT MATERIAL?
burlington Hawkeye.l


Scott county proposes to build some
twenty miles OF real roads next year
but as yet has been unable to decide
upon the material. The county en-
gineer states that his preference is
woodblock. Well. why shouldn't the
rural districts have the best?
There is every reason for proceed
ing carefully in this matter. If Iowa
spends SI00,00O.000 on roads, she
wants roads that will stand the wear
and tear TO which they will be sub
jected. The truck and the tractor and
the high powered car are destructive
Of roads that have been heretofore
deemed fairly good in Iowa. And the
near future will no doubt see still
heavier machines introduced, and the
speed will surely become no less.
It is believed that here at home the
roads will be paved with cement And
If the pavement be made of sufficient
strength that win probably suffice.
There are cement roads that do not
stand Up well under any hard traffic.
and there are others, that seem to
wear as well as IS set forth in some
Of the advertising literature.
AS the vitr.fed brick has been
found a. first class material for paving
city streets, it is quite likely that 1t
will be, brick on concrete founda-
ton, in some Of the counties Of the
state, Brick has stood the test for
more than thirty years. and the people
know that il can be depended upon.
Other counties will try something
else. But everywhere the paving

Tinker Bob knew all the time what
would happen because he possessed
the stone of knowledge. But no one
else knew. Lady Duck and the three
Fox children waited paticnuy to see
the outcome. and as the shadows be-
gan to tell OF tho coming night in the
forest. there came the sound of break
ing twigs from the direction OF o. Pos
sums home.
From behind the big tree Tinker
watched carefully. And as sure as
he lived. he saw o. Postum sneaking
along from tree to tree toward the
home of the Foxes. AS he came close,
he spIed the nest that had been pre-
pared purposely for him. In the dim
twilight he spread his lips and show
ed his teeth, trying to imagine how
good the meat OF Lady Duck would
taste for his breakfast. He thought
also that he ought to act quickly lest
Major Pole Cat should happen along
with the same purpose in view.
He crept slowly toward the prepared
nest and when he came within a rev
feet. he made a Jump with his jaws
wide open, that he might sink his
teeth deep into Lady Duck and keep
her from crying for help. He did sink
his teeth deep-into a bunch Of feath-
crs and sharp quilts and moss! The
sharp quilts sank deep into the roof
OF his mouth and his tongue and when
he backed away he was a dreadful
looking thing. He screamed and claw
cd at his mouth and rolled on the
ground.
His cries brought all Of the neigh
bors from their homes. Some that had
gone to bed climbed out Of their warm
place to see what had happened. And,
TO be sure, there stood Major Pole Cat
who had been watching the movements
Of O.Possum from the first. He laughed
and laughed until his sides were sore
to think how o. Postum had been fool
ed.

the hollow log shifted the air and trem-
bIed. because they were babies ana dio

ASK TIE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Times publican: ! understand
that prize fight films, that is, those pic
lures taken Of prize fights between the
big pUgil!sts, are barred from eshib!-
ton in Iowa. Can you explain to me,
then. why prize fighting seems to be
IN vogue IN the larger cities Of the
state without any manner Of interfer-
ence by the authorities who, have al
ways understood, are under pledge 10
uphold the laws. And II actual flesh
and-blood prize fighting can be en-
gineered by promoters for profit, why Is
the picture show deprived OF a similar

1nI a. g.. Ak1l.s1Rlkr Bill,

That the senate committee will Of
fer the Cummins railroad bill with the
anti-strike clause seems to be a pretty
safe prediction. Senator Cummins,
usually a safe and conservative pro-
phet in matters political, feels certain
that the senate will ratify the clause
upon the committees recommendation,
The clause. which Is being opposed
by railroad and other labor leaders,
would prevent strikes on railways that
would tie up transportation 10 the
damage and loss and serious discom-
fort Of the public. Those who sought
the high rate of pay Of the railroader
would, by reason of their acceptance
of such employment, waive the right TO
strike.
The Cummins bill deprives no rail-
road man OF any legitimate right or
privilege: for 1t is not 10 be esteemed a
legitimate right or privilege for men
employed in the operation of a vital
public necessity 10 strike collectively
to the damage Of all interests and to
the starvation OF babes that they may
thus enforce an arbitrary demand. The
bill affords full individual freedom TO
the employee to continue or quit his en-
ploynent in this fundamental service.
1t refuses a banded organization of
men thus employed unchecked power
10 throttle with a collective grasp all
industry, commerce and welfare OF a
people and nation.
This provision Of the bill should not
be lodged or defeated. The great mass
Of the country should see TO that. In
nuence of a political character is be-
ing pressed against representatives in
Washington TO defeat it. Those who
desire the safety that its Intervention
will afford 10 industry. commerce, the
coal Din in the home and the milk fed
child in the cities should make their
wish and will plainly evident to those
who do their voting in Washington.
The senator says ne decided WIG
much reluctance TO offer anti-strike
this no doubt ne spoke personally. such
legislation should have been offered
and enacted long ago. It would have
advantaged the workers themselves
and saved the public billions of unnec-
