A CURIOUS EXPLANATION.

Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, makes the
interesting disclosure of one of the motives ne
believes to have influenced the president to
veto the prohibition enforcement bill. The
white house, in his opinion, had knowledge that
if the bill became a law without action by the
president, suit would be brought at once to
challenge it's validity on the ground that the
president had not been able, that is In physlcal
condition, to review the measure as required by
the constitution This would have brought to
public knowledge, says Senator Walsh, some
real information as to the nature of the presl-
dents malady and the exact state OF his health

self if it did not have guber-
material candidate, his candidacy
may be just the customary filing
in of the blank.
There is little enthusiasm in
state politics, but the people are
not Indifferent to the import
ance of selecting a candidate
as a business head. The i'm
mense wealth of the people as a
whole has led to relaxation Of
the principles of economy which
are the anchors of common
wealth. The administration OF
the state is great public enter
price requiring sound business
judgment, conservative policies
and fearless independence. II
these qualities are not possessed
by the chief executive, waste,
extravaganza and incompotency
creep in, adding to the burdens
OF the people and increasing the
need of taxes without CORE
spondingly increasing the serv-
ices Of the state to its citizens.
These are the yard-sticks by
which aspirants for the governor
ship will be measured. The can
didate who is able to prove to
the jury of voters the best quail
ties in these particulars will find
the greatest support. But that
support will not be the efferves-
cent sort, but that deeper and
more substantial kind which is
founded In good business sense.
There is more inclination at
this time than ever before to ask
the candidate what his Qualidca-
tions are and to demand the
substantial rather than accept
the superficial. Men are being

Promises may be pleasing. but
performances are satisfying. The
Iowa gubernatorial campaign will
be tested along these Tines.

Anamosa Eureka: II we could get
as much of real work done as we have
of talking, many Of our ills would
vanish forthwith. And in rejecting
the work of agitators and keeping the
public up to a high nervous tension.

DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.

When local means OF preserving order Ialled
ct Gary and in other areas where the steel mills
are located, the federal army was called upon
to aid The army did aid, and law and order
were preserved That is all that the army has
done.
Now the head of the steel strikers says the
defeat of the steel strike is chargeable to the
army that means, it is chargeable to the tact
that the army maintained law and order. For
let it be reiterted that this is all that the army
has done.
What does it mean to charge defeat OF an
organized movement to the fact that law was
enforced7 What else can it mean that under
lawful conditions the steel strike or any strike
thus affected by maintaining the law, was found
Ito lack support to make it effective?. And if a
strike be thus doomed to failure by the public
maintaining of the law, what does threat OF
renewal and reprisal mean except defiance
of the law7 There are statements being made
in the heat of present controversy which when
reduced to essentials are dangerous doctrine.

MINERS STILL OUT; WAIT FOR SETTLEMENT OF WA GE

These, Senator Hitchcock said TODAY
are as follows:

s. Dominions or self governing

mitted 20 vote in any dispute TO
which tho mpire or its dominions

TWO OF those clauses are designed
to obtain for all members OF the
ieague the same reservation, that
Republicans propose for the United
States alone. The. others, covering
Article 10. the Monroe Doctrine and
voting, are understood to have been
included, so tina tn Democratic Party
can keep its record clear on these
issues.
Tbs move by Hitchcock is not TO be
taken as an Indication that his plan
TO attempt straight-out ratification
has been abandoned. IL was eN-
planned. But Administration lead
ers realize that unqualified rntifica-
tion is doubtful OF success and they
are therefore preparing a compro-
mise move.
Hitchcock has offered the reserva-
tions at this time, fearing that adOp-
ton of the Lodge cloture motion
might prevent Offering further re-
servations and amendments.
The Senate was in adjournment to-
day on account of the funeral OF SEN
ator Martin at Charlottesville Va,
but tomorrow a vote will be called
on the cloture proposal advocated by
Senator Lodge. The Democrats were
undecided to-day on their course OF
action, as they fear it would prevent
them from securing a vote on their
own ratification resolution. They
were expected 20 press for adoption
the Democrats plan to limit debate
only on the reservations.
