IoWAs LONE VOTE AGAINST SUFFRAGE.

Hull, republican, was the only Iowan
in the house who voted against the
equal suffrage amendment. His lone
illness is a matter of commiseration
but not Of Burlington
Hawkeye.
1t is so. Congressman Hulls lone
vote against woman suffrage is to be
commiserated-but from other stand
points it is possible to excuse it.
First it is possible to explain and
to a degree excuse it because of the
smallness of Hull as compared with
the rest Of the Iowa delegation in con-
gress. Iowa has never had any good
reason for pride and self graduation
tives at Washington. BY comparison
with the congressman from other dis
tricts Of the state Hull is as attenu-
ated as a shoestring. f,
Again, it is in accord with republi-
can sentiment in Iowa to repudiate
Hulis isolated vote as unrepresenta-
tive of the desire and purpose Of the
state republican party; but an expla-
nation tempers the wind of resentment
to this shorn lamb of the Second dis
trict. He voted as he did because he
represents the second district and it's
suffrage mainly because women are
opposed to saloons and the liquor traf-
fic generally Mr.. Hull is no wider
than the district he represents and it
will be recalled by those Of reasonably
retentiye memory that candidate for
attorney general found welcome to his
candidacy in Scott county by the as
surance to certain leaders that If he
were nominated and elected he would
not cross the borders OF Scott coun-
ty." Bringing this recent history to
bear crossWise on Mr.. Hulls dissociat-
ed vote affords further possible ex-
cuse. Joined to Hull himself it seems
to offer reasonably complete expla-
nation.
Mr.. Hull Is not precisely lonely, he
| has the leadership of his district and
his county to herd with in segrega-
ton from the other congressman and
districts Of the state. But neverthe-
less, as the Hawkeye says it is all "a
matter for comnliseration but not Of

The Old Flag.


Off with your hat as the flag goes by
And let the heart have its say;
You're man enough for tear In your
eye
That you will not wipe away,
You're man enough for thrill that
goes
To your very finger tips -
Ay! the lump just then in your throat
that rose
Spoke more than your parted lips.
Lift up your boy on your shoulder,
high.
And show him the faded shred
Those stripes would be red as the sun
set sky
If Death could have dyed them red.
The man that bears it is bent and old,
And ragged his beard and gray
But look at his eye fire young and bold,
At the tune that he hears them play.
The old tune thunders thru all the air,
And strikes right in 10 the heart; -
If ever it calls for you, boy be there!
BE there, and ready to start
Off with your hat as the flag goes by!
Uncover the youngsters head!
Teach him to hold ii holy and high,
For the sake Of its sacred dead

Not yet has any proof that would be sus- tained if offered in court been given to show that the restriction upon loans compelled many to part with their Liberty Bonds in order to saYe their credit and to relieve them from em- barrassment. Many persons who were called upon to increase their margins were unable to do that because they could not borrow the money and they were therefore compelled either to submit to the sale of Liberty Bonds. which constituted part of the collat- eral for their loans, or else they of- fered these bonds for sale and they were sold. Undoubtedly the restric ton when loans did serve to aid the government but the impression is very strong that it also in part explains the depreciation in the market value of the Liberty Loan bonds. Now that the restriction has been removed and a normal market is offered for securi- ties of all kinds it may be that there will be observed a decrease in the sale of Liberty Bonds, so great in fact that the market quotation for them will increaSe

The Red Cross has therefore moved to the front balcony and can be reached by the stairs in the north east corner of the store.
 The firm, with unfailing generosity, has arranged this space most suitably and the office and departments aye even more comfortabl than before.
