I" MISSING

The official announcement that the last OF the
daily casualty lists from the expedltlonary
forces are now being published can mean only
that the missing are dead. OF the ten thousand
men unaccounted for two months ago, denmte
information has resulted in the Reconsideration
Of about half of them. Some have been returned
tc duty, some have been in hospitals; but many
more were found to have died of wounds or to
have been killed in action Those who were
alive have been found. Those whose deaths
could be established by eyewitnesses or by any
other evidence have been accounted as dead.
One out of every two hundred and eighty
men, roughly speaking, who came under enemy
fire is missing. They are largely those. whose
graves are unmarked for lack of identification
or whose bodies were never found for burial.
The official announcement can only mean that
possible has been done to account
for those still missing, who must therefore be
given up for dead.

reasonable utterances and acts which JUST
fed the ten years prison term he has not YET
begun to serve What are trials for? LIS the
law unjust? If so repeal it. Was the trial OF
Debs unfairg If so give him new one DID
he talk treason? His fellowmen have SAID SO
and he confessed it, Did he deserve punish
mentg The highest court has so decided.
Treason has ever been considered the one I'M
pardonable offense which no government can
tolerate and live.
There is much to indicate that trying times
are ahead of the world. There probably are
few or no governments on earth which Will not,
in the next few years, be desperately attacked
from within by anarchists, bolshevists, malcon-
tents, enemies Of ordered society, OF justice and
religion and OF all that makes the difference be-
tween savagery and civilization. Lands like
ours will have to fight these miscreants IN the
courts Other lands will have to stamp them
out or be destroyed a malign force has been
loosed in the world soon perhaps to be raging
like the red horse Of the Apocalypse Our pro-
lection against it lies in our law enforcement.
if haply that may suffice; and yet there are
those who would make our laws farce and our
courts joke by giving immunity and the en-
courageulunt Of a pardon to men who invite
this evil thing, this monstrous menace, to our
shores We have too much of maudlin senti-
rnent in our nation now, with Secretary Of War
Baker giving full pay and honorable discharge
to decriers OF our government and railers at our
laws, and it is hard to understand how any in
telligent citizen with the slightest comprehen-
sion of what the world is facing can advocate
any act which would make our laws a laughing
stock and make it easier for this incarnate ter
ror to get civilization by the throat. Let us be
thankful that our highest tribunal has so clear
ed the law of technicalities that men who would
overturn the existing order can be adequately
dealt with by our courts.

in elections more important.
A consolation for the delay in hav-
ing the suffrage amendment reach
the people is the fact that two years
will make more certain the ratifica-
ton of the measure by the people.
On no other public question is senti-
ment changing SO rapidly as on the
enfranchisement of women. 1t is
becoming much stronger in favor of
suffrage Some of it is band wagon
policy. Men reason that suffrage is
coming and that to oppose it is use
less. Some of it is due to the intel
ligent arguments advanced in its
behalf Some of it may be due to
the radicalism Of the suffragets who
follow the course of the British
women of street demonstrations and
picketing Much of it comes from
the recognition of the splendid serv-
ice women In all walks of life rem
dered the government and the armies
during the war. Two years delay
will add more supporters to the cause
of suffrage and make more certain
it's ratification at the polls, where the
real test Of success or failure comes.
The Journal believes the amendment
will be approved by the next general
assembly and that when it comes be-
fore the people the opposition will
by the people should be emphatic and
no official plumbers should make pos
sible another delay.

THE SUFFRAGE MEASURE.

Sioux City Journal: Both branches
! of the Iowa general assembly have
passed the joint resolution providing
! for a constitutional amendment ex-
tending the franchise to women. The
measure must be passed by the next
Legislature and then submitted to the
voters of the state for ratification or
rejection. Had it not been for the
egregious and Inaccessible blunder of
Secretary of State Allen in failing to
properly certify for publication the
resolution passed by the last general
assembly, the question would now be
ready for submission to the people at
the next general election. This legis-
lature would have been the second
to pass the resolution instead of the
first one. Two years were added to
the fight by the blunder of Secretary
! Allen
Some criticism has been made by
suffrage leaders of the state because
the amendment resolution was sub
stituted for the primary election suf-
frage for women bill which was
pending in the senate. But on the
whole, the cause of woman suffrage
| has been substantially advanced by
the passage of the constitutional
amendment plan over the other one.
True, the other amendment could
have been enacted. also with reason,
but If its passage would have compli-
Gated or delayed that of the resolu-
ton, 1t were better to accept what
has been secured. Patchwork suf-
frage for women is not satisfactory
to them or to the states which have
1t. The blending of the women voters
into the entire voting forces of the
state is delayed by these halfway
measures. Their presence at the
polls In the elections in which they
have voice remains novelty in
stead of a powerful Influence. Their
lack of interest in the side issues
upon which they may vote is justi-
fable, but it gives their enemies
grounds for argument against their
entire enfranchisement. Full fran
chise will give them interest in all
issues and make their participation

SIDE DRIVE FOR HIGHWAYS

Massachusetts has protective association
for horses and it is an organization that does
things Through its efforts the Massachusetts
legislature has authorized the state highway
commission to build series of experimental!
roads, each a mile in length, by which to test
the various plans of construction proposed as
giving proper highway for motors and horses
and at the same time securing durability The
association has plan which it believes pro
vides highway adapted to joint use by motor
and horse drawn traffic and several stretches of
road viii be built on this plan. The several
miles of road with the side drive for horses and
hfteen-foot center for motors will be built

and test made to determine the best and most
economic construction for general adoption
The only thing that can be made permanent
about a highway is the location. As to the safe
ty for horses, this can only be obtained by the
side drive method of construction; no composite
service has been demonstrated as equally well
adapted to motors and horses. The Massa-
ohusetts experiment will be of value to the
country where highway construction is one OF
the improvements likely to be undertaken on
large scale

GAS RATES AND PUBLIC OPINION

/ its agreement Is q pressing one.
Resort to the courts, with its at
tendant delay. has weakened the con-
fdence of the public in the good In
tentions of utilities concerns and big
interests generally. 1t has under
mined confidence in the courts as
well. The suspicion that the courts
not infrequently afford loophole

dication for period OF months. The

grounds that unless payment is made
monthly by the consumer of gas at
the price fixed in the court order,
the corporation will be debarred from
securing full payment for gas used

ing come from the supreme court.
The corporation viii argue that it

sumer is permitted to pay the old

To the average consumer the
policy will assume the appearance OF

sponsibiIity openly accepted The
appeal with its promised delay Of
justice will contribute to a deepening
of the suspicious entertained by so
many.
Democracy approaches a critical
hour. The highest patriotism is that
which encourages confidence and
respect for American institutions.
Every practice which invites distrust
fosters the development of un-Ameri-
can tendencies.

Germs is for the most part commend

ton in the face of the new condt-
lions is not so reassuring While it
is true that the truly big concerns
such as the u. S. Steel corporation
and others of their kind have sub
scribed to policies which attest to
their recognition of new responsi-
biIity to labor and TO society. many
other financial institutions, stepped
in reactionism, remain blind to this
new obligation and opportunity.
The trend of affairs in American
social life calls for vision and dis
cernment. In the measure that it is
lacking is unrest invited, and invest
