Klnu of Poor Penmen,

The palm for illegibility is generally
awarded to the late Horace Greeley,
but in our own land probably Lecky
was king Of impossible penmen.
There are veteran compositors alive
who remember setting up his .Hlstory
of Morals" Those who could decipher
the manuscript were more priced than
their rivals who took Arabic and Hin
dustanl in their stride.
To master Lecky the men were
allowed to take home dubious folios
and ponder them in privacy. They say
that the author was In printing circles,

Crop Outlook Is Good.

The crop outlook for Hamilton coun-
ty this year is especially encouraging,
according to Chris Christensen, county
agricultural agent
Two hundred acres of fall and win
ter wheat were planted in the county
last year. This will mature in July.
This is about 100 per cent increase over
the years previous. This large in
crease is due to the patriotic stand
point urged upon the farmers by the
government.
Spring wheat is normally not crop
favored in this locality. However,
farmers who had purcha sed their grain
for spring wheat planting, will put in
the crop, despite the fact that the
necessity has passed for large wheat
crop.
The principle crop Of this county is
corn, and fully $4,000 acres were
harvested last year. This years crop
probably will be slightly smaller than
that of last year, now that the end Of
the war has lessened the demand for
cereals.

PRESIDENT HAS REMEDY.

During the closing hours OF the late
session of congress some very impor-
tant bills failed of adoption. No mat
ter now about the reasons. The presi-
dent apparently thinks the failure OF
these bills is menace to the interests
Of the nation and just before his de-
parture for France issued statement
in which, among other things, he said !:
"A group of men in the senate have
deliberately chosen to embarrass the
administration of the government, to
imperil the financial interests of the
railway systems of the country, and to
make arbitrary use of powers intend
ed to be employed in the interest of the
people.
1T is plainly my present duty to at
tend the peace conference in Paris. 1t
is also my duty to be in close contact
with the public business during ses-
sion of the congress. make my choice
between these two duties, and l conf
IDENTITY hope that the people of the cOnn-
try will think that / am making the
right choice"
1t may be that the presidents first
duty is to attend the peace conference.
With his decision to do SO there will be
little opposition. However, if the sit
uation here at home is so serious be-
cause congress failed to do something
that it should have dope, the president
has the remedy in his own hands. All
he has to do is to call special ses
sion of congress, which he should do
without unnecessary delay. 1t is true
that he should be here, as he says, when
congress is in session, but for three
months congress was in session while
he was in Europe and the interests of
the country did not seriously suffer be,
cause of that situation.
1t viii appear to many unprecedented
minds that both congress and the pres
ident are exhibiting degrees Of stub
bornness and petty spite that should
not be exhibited in times like the pre-
sent. Congress should have ,enac.ad
all necessary legislation required by

York on the eve of his departure for
Paris and the points he made go to
the pith of the question Of a league OF
nations. Publicity might have pre-
vented the war launched by Germany
in 1914, as it would have prevented
many other wars in the past. Had
Germany consented to arbitrate the
chances are there would have been no
war. AT any rate. the world would
have understood the issue and it would
have been impossible for the central
powers to have divided the worlds
opinion as they did. 1t would have
been known at once that an outlaw was
at large, if Germany had insisted upon
fighting after the facts had been re-
vealed by an arbitration tribunal, and
the nations of the earth could have
taken effective steps against the az
gressor. But the world didn't under
stand the causes of the war at the be-
ginning, nor know who was response
BILE for it, and it required many months
of precious time to inform the public
Of the facts.

MODEsTY, HENRY. MODEsTY.

Henry Ford has issued second pam
phlet on THE War Record of the Chi
cago Tribune" Modesty would sug-
gest that Mr.. Ford be little charitable
in matters of this kind True, the Chi
cago Tribune didn't have first class
anti-German war record prior to the
date when this country became involv-
ed, but after the war was on the Tri-
bune was 100 per cent patriotic. Two
of its principal owners and writer's en-
litsed in the service and stayed to the
end of the conflict. Has Mr.. Ford a
record that will equal that? Didn't
Mr.. Ford succeed in getting his son ex-
empted on the ground that Edsel was
needed in the Ford factories and that,
too, at time when the elder Mr.. Ford
was asking for seat in the United
States senate? 1t would appear that
if the elder Mr.. Ford could be spared
from the factory to fill space in the
senate chamber, Edsel could have been
spared to do his bit, same as other
young men of his age-24 years-were
doing. According to Judge Hughes re-
port. Mr.. Ford pulled down profit OF
more than $5OOO,0OO for making en-
gines for the war department and that,
too, right after he had been proclaim
ing that the Ford factories we're at the
disposal Of the government without
price.

According to Stockholm dispatch OF
recent date, "the soviet government OF
Russia hopes to be able to arrange a
big loan in America and is prepared to
offer in exchange important mining

enough to loan money to Russia under
present conditions. The bOlshevik gov

that country that will repudiate the
debts contracted by the present govern

A STRONG POINT.

1T is one of the agreements. OF this
covenant that it is the friendly right OF
every nation member Of the league TO
call attention TO anything that it thinks
will disturb the peace of the world, no
matter where that thing is occurring.
I '"There is no subject that may touch
the peace of the world which is exempt
from inquiry and discussion, and
think everybody here present will
agree with me that Germany would
never have gone to war II she had
permitted the world to discuss the ag-
gression upon Serbia for a single week.
1.-The British foreign Office suggested
and pleaded that there might be a day
or two delay so that the representa-
tives of the nations of Europe could
get together and discuss the possible
ties Of settlement. Germany did not
dare permit days discussion. You
know what happened. So soon as the
world realized that an outlaw was at
draw together against her.
1--WE know of Il certainty that if Ger
many had thought for moment that
Great Britain would go in with France
and with Russia she never would have
undertaken the enterprise, and the
league of nations is meant as a notice
to all outlaw nations that not only
Great Britain, but the United States
and the rest of the world will go i'm to
stop enterprises of that sort. And so
the league of nations is nothing more
nor less than the covenant that the
world will always maintain the stand
ards which it has now indicated by
SON of the most precious blood ever
shed.

have been ''unavoidably detained"

Gently held in Washington, d. c., said
that "t}e panic about bOlshevism in

ought to know something about the sit

country that has had more experience
with bolshevism than any other Sec
ton.
"Out in the west, we Geplore the po-
sition taken by some public men on this
question" Mr.. Piggott said. '"The man
is unfair who compares conditions in
this country with Europe There is no
reason for anarchy or revolt in the
United States where the working peo-
pie have the best homes and the best
working conditions in, the world, and
can change their government by the
ballot instead OF by force
He insisted, however, that mayors
and governors must exhibit courage in
dealing with unrest. you can't help

politics" he declared, in continuing the
attack on congress for not passing APP

existing circumstances that it could,
but congress having failed, for want OF

order that urgent legislation may he

When the president went to Europe
last fall, it was pointed out that the
cables and wireless would keep him lin
close contact with the public business
during the session of congress That
was the presidents own idea and it is
now far fetched for him to claim that
he is not going to call special session

Seret. "Pap" Norton Back.

Sergeant w. S. (Pap) Norton, for
merly of the Sandstone" division, ar
rived home last evening, having been
given his discharge. at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas II wouldn't take
100000 for my experience" says Pap,
"but it would cost S25O,OOO to induce
me to go through it again"
Sergeant Norton has been in the
military service for twenty-five years.
For many years he was top sergeant in
Company C Of this city and attended
every camp annually, where he was
always fayOrite of the organization.
Many kid" in Webster City was
started on period of military service
by sPap" and many q rookie was saved
from .hazing because of a timely word
from -'Rsis'i.-
Sergeant Norton left Webster City in
August, 1917, with Company G for
Camp Cody, N. NJ, and had not been
back home until he arrived last even
ing He brought with him the gas
mask and steel helmet issued to him
just before he left for overseas with
the Thirty-fourth division. Sergeant
Norton spent quite while at Prest,
France, and he takes very decided
stand with those who insist that this
city was a mud hole, uncfean and alb
solutely unsanitary.
When Sergeant Norton left Fort
Leavenworth, three Webster City boys
remained there. They are Adolph
Boeye, Reed Thompson and Oscar Lii
Iegard. The latter is now acting as
company tailor.
Service at Fort Leavenworth was
not at all to Sergeant NortOn's liking
The army men there merely act as
guards at the prison, where thousands
of conscientious directors and men
convicted under the espionage act. as
we'll as interned Germans, are confined
1t is monotonous service for soldier
and Pap" was glad, indeed, to get
away. He is pleased to be back in
Webster City and will now resume his
permanent resident here.

When the president wishes to take
advantage of war legislation, as he did
in taking over the cables after the ar
mistice was signed, he explains that the
war is not yet over 1t is not. techni-
cally, yet the president in issuing par
dons and communications proceeds upon
the theory that the war has ended.
Just before he left on his return to
France he granted full pardon to
Frederick Kraft. secretary of the So
cialist party of New Jersey, who had
been convicted under the espionage act,
while he committed the fifteen year
sentence of Rev. c. H. WaldrOn, Ver-
mont pacifist preacher, to expire on
the first of next month. Surely, ii the
war is not yet over. these men should
not be liberated at this time.

Waterloo Courier: The world loves a
fighter and the world also loves man
of convictions who cannot be swerved
from duty and right because the exer-
else Of backbone may jeopardize per-

concrete illustration of this quality,
close at hand.
Oelwein had its heart set on a new
postoffice building. Congressman Hau-
gen succeeded in getting into the bien-
NAL pork" bill, otherwise the public
buildings bill, an appropriation Of $780,
600 for the Oelwein postoffice building.
Sena tor Kenyon was appealed to for
help in pushing the bill along. In re-
Spouse to this appeal he. replied as
follows:
Yours at hand There is no chance
at all for this public buildings bill go
ing through. The senate is blocked
with the appropriation bills. I want
to be perfectly frank and say that
would not support this public buildings
bill even though it has lot of appro-
priations for Iowa. 1t is full of the
worst pork have ever seen in any bill
and am not going to vote for the roi-
ten stuff in order to get what may lie
right even for my state.
wv. s. KENYON
1t takes nerve, backed by conscience.
to write letter like the foregoing, and
to take such a position. How often is
such a letter as that observed? How
often do we have such an exa aple
of frankness? senator Kenyon need
not have been SO blunN nd outspOken.
