cheaper than the concrete made of

weather better and shield the occu-

and the cold of winter than do those

for $1,000 as compared with about

Cedar Rapids Gazette: While we are
regretful because wheat prospects fell
off a little, we must not forget that
there Is more wheat in storage right
now than last year by millions OF
bushels. There's SO much OF it that
grain men already are worrying about
where they will store this years crop.
There aren't elevators enough. But the
10-cent loaf still bowls us over.
Webster City Freeman : Journal:
Well, the country could get along in a
pinch If every blamed actor on earth
would go on a strike.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: All kinds OF
physicians are now prescribing for the
world and trying to diagnose its ills,
The consensus Of opinion seems to be
that what the people everywhere
need is to get busy and stay on the
job. That opinion is shared by peo-
pie who never work.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: Is there
really anyone who is not competent
to solve the high prices-if he could
only have his way?
Carroll Herald: 1t really does not
make much difference whether 1t is
the shrunken value of the dollar or the
swollen value Of the articles you buy.
II is the high price you pay that
shocks you. These academic discus
sions are not to the point; we want to
eliminate the profiteer.
Davenport Times: But how long is
the favorite outdoor sport OF Mexico,
grabbing United States citizens and
holding them for ransom, to go un-
punished-if not by Carranza, then by
Uncle Sam taking the law in his own
hands?
Des Moines Capital: 1t continues to
be announced that President Wilson is
going t o make a speaking tour. We
do not believe he ought to do any such
thing. He Is an imprudent man some
times, and he will make partisan as
sertions which will not only injure
the cause. but injure the country. The
place for President Wilson is in Wash
ington. 1t is his clear duty to make
concessions to the senate, and thus
secure the treaty and the covenant.

the locating Of a network OF wing
dams all the way south OF Keokuk
to Quincy and farther. Yet ] have
wondered why a majority Of the
distractions are placed 20 as to
compel the river to incline to the
west shore. The erosion is dcstruc-

needs no aid from the wing dams.
The good town of Canton has in

dant OF the large Ferry Mary Hill,
which served as transfer at War

years ago. AT Quincy the large

u. s. steamer Muscatine was aid

ilton aided in entertaining the

their town. They are Marylee

marks the place in the city park
where the joint debate was held
between Lincoln and Douglas In
1858, recalls the historic contest
between the great advocate OF
righteousness, and the noted COM
promiser, in the days when Lin
coin was gradually rising to great
fame. and Douglas declining. Poor
Douglas, he was two anxious to
win the office of president by
compromising. Webster, Clay and
other leaders failed along the
same line.

Myers, who is employed by the
journal and who is well known
over a large territory. including
northeast Missouri towns and

and busy bees and other busy
callings, but the office OF a daily
paper is about the busiest center
of any profession. There is no
compromise in that office. The
paper must be issued and sent out
at a positive hour. Officials must
move on the flashlight system.

Everywhere, either under the name OF boisne-

unless promptly crushed, may shatter our social

ed here; but it would be folly to drift on in a
false sense of our security and allow it to gain
Lheadway. We cannot afford to do that. We
cannot begin too soon or too sternly to suppress
the impudent, infamous propaganda OF men who
openly proclaim their creed and their purpose
to bolshevize this land. Nor should we delay
to fight it with an educational campaign. Show
the American people THAT it means and they
will stamp it out. But if the f~oreign-born lg-
norance within our borders are permitted to
think Of it as a great and levellng reform, as
some of them do, we may waken suddenly to
find our situation perilous and acute. BRING

Inequalities and injustices but an appalling evil

People who see no danger in the present sit

apparently plenty of money behind this de-
movement, an intense hatred OF Amerl-
can institutions and an avowed determination
to overturn the social order. Hundreds of dis
ease germ carriers are running up and down
the land. Their procedure is to inflame such
workers as they cav reach with hatred OF their
employers, to bring on strikes and foment riot
ing and bloodsheG. They reason that Nhcn
these have occurred and have been checked by
force the bitter state of feeling resulting will
make for bolshevist recruits. This doubtless IS
one of the thoughts of those who are behind the
call for the meeting of radicals to be held at
Chicago next Labor day. 1t is well that the
proceedings should be closely watched.

BARRIN GERMAN DYES.

Less than one wear ago q certain gentleman
named Richard Hurd was rustling about the
securing signatures to a pledge never
again to buy goods made in Germany. He got
quite a number of them, too. For a long time,
now, Germany has been scratched from the
entries of the race for the American market, as
was also Austria But figures for June show
Germany and Austria once more entered In the
lists, the former selling us nearly a million dol.
lars worth of goods, and the latter about three
and nine thousand dollars worth,
since the armistice was signed. This must
make Mr.. Hurd feel very miserable, and when
this rivulet expands into a great river 1t Will
make many besides Hurd feel the same way.
Fortunately. the house ways and means COM
has reported a measure which will, if it
becomes a law, effectively Withstand the at
tempt of Germany to destroy dye and chemical
Industries built up here during tn ewar.
Retailers who complain that the "bushels"
of tomatoes they buy weigh only from forty
eight to fifty pounds might remedy the situation
by buying their bushels by weight. That's the
way the elevators buy wheat.

to take into consideration that in many parts of
