SCHOOL BONDS WIN OUT

The very heavy majority by which
the school bonds won out at the cleo.
ton on Tuesday is an evidence that
the patrons of the schools expressed
themselves with Lo uncertain empha.
sis. The Register believed that the
parties interested were the ones to
decide the question, and having de-
cided it with such a strong expires.
sion Of their sentiment we hope that
the location of the building will be de-
cided in a way that will also please
the majority Of the people who have
a vital interest in the schools. An
other thing evidenced by the vote OF
Tuesday, is that the woman vote is
going to cut some figure in any ques,
ton where the women get interested
and exercise their right of franchise.
II is quite evident that the politicians
will now have to consider this ele.
ment in the voting population when
they make up their estimates of the
strength of their parties or candi-
dates.

enterprises started which ran well for
a time but failed either for want OF

not provide itself with a return ticket.

o POTATOES

A car load of South Dakota pota-
toes recently shipped into Iowa and
examined by Prof. A. T. Erwin, chief
of truck corps section of Iowa State
College, showed 5 per cent badly af-
fected with scab and worthless; IA
per cent were badly rotted with fusd-
rum, and % per cent in culls we're
screened out to bring them up to No.
/ grade. In other words, out of a 900
bushel car, about a third was worth
less stuff that had taken up space and
on which freight was paid.
Professor Erwin's message to South
Dakota potato growers through the ex-
tension division is: Il I'm lot men
criticism, but rather to give you is
formation as to the kind of stuff that
is being sen your customers out of
the state. There is an excellent con-
Stunning territory for potatoes through
the southern half of Iowa, and you
are getting into the game deeper
every year, but the reputation of your
growers will not last long unless they
learn to standardiZe their product"
This criticism is indeed timely, says
F.. Z. Mccall, extension horticulture
list, inasmuch as now is the time to
plan on preventing the losses from
scab and fusarium. The scab can be
controlled by treating the seed tubers
either in formaldehyde or corrosive
sublimate solutions. The fusarium
car be largely controlled by not plant
ing diseased tubers or rotating the
crop so as to plant this seasons tub
ers on the same ground from which
diseased tubers were harvested last
season.

TO BOOST GOOD ROADS

Probably the most important legis,
and this legislation is not only of gen
eral interest but of great interest To-
cally. Three measures were enacted
into law under which the people of
Waddel bill which permits counties by
a three-fourths vote to bond for the
purpose of building highways, the
Bryant bill which permits districts
to be laid out and special assess
ments spread for the purpose of build
ing hard surfaced roads. This law Is
so framed that ii can be used in con
nection with the general highway bill
and under ii some hard surfaced roads
ought u be constructed. The general
highway bill is of such nature that
there will be a program of highway
constructions started almost immedi-
ately in every county in the state.
One feature of the bill will be Of
great interest locally and that is the
feature which will permit state funds
10 be used upon the streets of any
city through which the state highway
may pass. Where different or more
expensive material is used the city
wifi have to pay the difference. The
auto license fee was increased from
three dollars to six dollars, but this
does not become operative until next
year. 1t will materially increase the
funds available for the maintenance
of highways after they have been con-
structed.

BUSINESS NEED NOT FEAR Flu
TURE-cARTER GLASS

Instead of days Of dark foreboding
these should be days of rejoicing. oil
confidence and of high resolve. Amer
lea is least injured of any of the ma.
tons which took active part in the
death grapple with autocracy on the
soil OF France and Flanders. Except
for the sixty thousand who gave w
their lives and the other thousands
who are returning MANNED, the United
States has made no real sacrifice. Our
fields have not been devastated, our
homes and factories have not been
RACED, famine does not stalk among
us. In all material things the nation
is richer and stronger than it was be
fore we went to war.
Is the American spirit less cour
ageous than is the spirit of the French
or of the Belgians? France, sorrow
ing, but undaunted, has set about to
repair the wreck the ruthless invader
wrought, and refuses to view the fu
ture darkly. Belgium, stripped of al
honor. looks forward to the day
when a greater nation will arise on
the ruins of the old. Shall America,
then. bend and groan under the mag
inings of a burden which 1t should
bear lightly, II felt at all?
Sight v should be lost of the
fact that Americas war debt is sub.
stantially all owed to the American
people. Money to meet the interest
charges on it and eventually to pay
off the principal will flow back to the
whence 1t came. A national
debt of this character is not a burden
to cripple future business.
The coming issue of government
has been designated the Victory
Liberty loan. 1t seems to me 1t might
we'll be termed the thanksgiving loan,
for II ever q people had cause for
Thanksgiving. we are that people.

THE PEACE LEAGUE PACT

AS there is muCn controversy over
the peace articles proposed at the con.
ference in Paris, the Register gives a
brief synopsis of them for the infor.
nation of our readers.
The basic law which is 70 govern
the league embraces 26 articles. The
gist of them is as follows:
l. The parties to this covenant
agree that the league shall have three
parts; first, the main body of dele.
gates representing the member nj
tions; second, an executive council
which shall meet mor frequently,
and third, a secretariat which shall
be permanent and be always open for
business, at the place to be chosen as
the seat Of the league.
2. The main body of delegates
shall meet at stated intervals or as
occasion may require, either at the
seat of the league or elsewhere; the
member nations are to have one vote
each.
3. The executive council shall con
sist of representatives of the United
States, the British empire. France,
Italy and Japan, and also representa-
tives of four other member nations
selected by the delegates. Meetings
of the council shall be held at least
once a year, and as often as ANY mat
ter effecting the peace of the world
may be brought up.
4. In both the body of delegates
and the executive council a majority
vote of those present shall decide.
The president Of the United States s
to call the first meetings.
S. The permanent secretariat shall
be established at the seat of the
league. The secretary-general shall
be chosen by the executive council
and his staff shall be appointed by him
and confirmed by the council. The
expenses of the secretariat shall be
borne by the members of the league,
in the same ratio as that now exist
ing in the postal union.
s.. Representatives of the league
shall enjoy the same privileges as
diplomats, and the buildings occupied
by the league shall enjoy "textraterri-
toriallty" Chat is, be independent Of
local laws.)
Z. Nations not included in the
league on the start may be admitted
on a t%wo-thirds vote. Such nations
must be fully self-governing and they
must be prepared to conform to the
rules laid down by the league.

forcement of the commands of the

CONDITIONS IN
KOREA WORSE
Independent Move Was Be.
gun with Intentions of
Using Peaceful Methods.

Peking.. April 3.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. Conditions
in Korea resulting from the indepen-
dence movement there where the
Koreans are endeavoring to shake off
the rule of Japan are becoming worse.
according to the Rev. Edward w.
Thwing, Oriental secretary of the in
ternational reform bureau. who has
just returned from Korea.
The Koreans began the indepen-
dence movement with the intention of
using only peaceful methods" the
Rev. Mi. Thwing told The Associated
Press correspondent, but the Japan
ese soldiers have so treated them and
stirred them up that they are now
wild and reckless. No n can tell
what will come next. Seeds of hate
and future trouble are being widely
sewn. Christians often suffer most.
l have visited several places in Korea
during the uprising and everywhere
it is the same kind of cruel military
lawlessness. One Korean Christian
pastor said: We cannot stand it,
They beat us like pigs and cattle; and
we are men, - ~
discover supposed plots n conspir-
~acies," continued the Rev. Mr. Thw-
ing. 'They ven claim to believe that
the missionaries started the revolu-
ton. They try to get Korean spies to
go into the houses of foreigners. They
search the houses of American mis-
sionaries. looking for no one knows
what. In a town that l recently Wis
tied, we were Swallowed by a Korean
who was described to me by a mis-
sionary as the cleverest spy in town.
1.-The Koreans hate these men. OF
course being spies, they have to bring
information and when they can find
none they often manufacture it. Many
have been arrested who had no con-
nection with the affair and have been
cruelty beaten. At the police station
they often beat the men before any
trial on the general principle hat it Is
a good thing for every Korean to
taste the power of Japan"
