This Legislature seems TO be doing
it's best and its best is pretty good
thank you. II ii can keep up the gait
II will set a mark for purposefnlncss
and good sense. However the auto.
mobile and the road laws still ROMAN
and they are the vital tests Of the as
sembly tbs year.
The exposures of conditions In Ida
Grove and the consequent humiliation
of people more and less prominent
should be a warning to other COM
munities: for there are other COM
munities than Ida Grove where light
ming might strike with serious and
humiliatiag results. Deccncy first is
a good motto.
The deal by which George Clark
escaped for a time is not u permanent
thing. 1t seems to have fallen thru
badly and Mr.. Clark Will probably
find himself face 10 face with an Ida
county grand jury later. However
>
merged in order that by stepping on
him clark got ashore without wettine
his feet need not create great SYM
pathy for RotLbun who deserves vail
he is getting. But Clark ought not
to get away.
Dye s'pose that n woman governor
would have taken anything like the
view that Harding took of the crime
to which he referred SO fltppantly and
o5scenely according to the testimony
before the Judiciary committee?
OF course a league OF nations or an
alliance Of nations or whatever you
choose to call It is a good thing and
We are all IN favor Of something OF
that kind. We arc all in favor of a
good Iowa farm but We look over the
abstract mighty carefully before We
pay any money or accept the deed.
Cement prices are going to come
down The cement makers even are
discussing il. II they don't come down
very soon the state will be in the
cement business for there is to DC
much use for cement in road and
street improvement
Ida county needs to start proceed
fngs against its lawyers trust If some
OF the testimony at Dcs Moines is to
be believed.
A state hospital tor the cure Of
mental disease before the patient IS
confined to an insane asylum IS we'll
worth tbs money which the legislature
proposes to appropriate for it. And
conducted in a modern and scientific
way it will save many minds from
complete failure.

II was now dark, in the early eve
ming, an Dick and BILLY Otter and
Tom and Jerry Beaver began cutting
off that little fallen tree which lay
across Murmuring Brook, and which
was used az bridge by all tho little
people OF Mirror Pond and the Beav-
er Meadows, In their travels into the
Great Forest.
The four swimmers had floated a
big log under the bridge. and Tom
Beaver whispered: 'Dick. you and
Billy please hold this log under the
bridge. and Jerry and will get on
top OF II, and begin to cut OF this
bridge for Mr.. Fox to walk over"
And 1t was a wonderful sight to see
Tom and Jerry Beaver stand UP on
their hind legs on that log. and cut
that little tree in two in the. middle,
After the Beavers had worked some
time, the little fallen tree which was
used as a bridge. was almost cut OF.
and Tom Beaver whispered: ''Dickk
Otter. you come and see when we
should stop chopping; for we must not
cut the bark on the upper side!"
And Dick otter left his brother to
hold the floating log below, while he
went UP to the bridge to look after
the bark. The four workers kept
very busy and finally they had the
bridge cut in two places, while the
bark on the upper side was In per-
feet condition.
When their work was done, Dick
Otter whispered to his brother Now

bridge. Billy. and let It float down

But u ths new liberty loan should
not b subacribed fully by the people;
II this final loan TO cover Americas
part In tho great world war should
fail; ~ popular interest In financing
bringing the soldiers home should lag
then II would be necessary for con-
gress TO increase taxes very heavily.
The government must have the money
and IL will borrow II It can, but II 1t
can not. 1t will take what II needs.
The citizen has his choice Of getting a
bond. which will draw interest and
which win eventually be paid back, or
OF getting q tax receipt that doesn't
pay interest.
II must he remembered that It will
be impossible to undertake to Let
George do II" in April. The total Of
tho bond Issue needed will be rs large
~ wAS the total for the last bond
!ssus. Unlcss each person who sub
scribed to the last bond Issue. takes as
much OF the victory liberty loan as he
did Of the last loan, the total will fall
down.
In considering the liberty loan 1t
must be kept clearly in mind that we
are subscribing to n government loan.
that we are doing whatever we do for
the United States OF Amortization all
OF tbs Jumped together in one great
organisation. Tho loan is not for the
Wilson administration. or to help In
any way this or that party. We may
not like some OF the things that are
beinE said or some OF the things that
are being done. nor should We allow
criticism OF policies to influence our
action with regard to the loan. 1t is
to the United states the money Is be-
ing loaned and we receive In turn the
promise Of the United States to pay
both interest and principal. Men
come and go. parties come into power
and depart. but the government of the
United States continues.
1t must be remembered that the
war Is not really ended. altho the
actual fighting for the time being has
ceased. Party criticism must not be
allowed to obscure the fact that the
country still is nominally at war. that
many American soldiers are still In
Europe and must be supported and
eventually brought home, and that
vast bills for war expenditures must
vet be raid Congress, representing
the people, has appropriated the
money. and it is up to the citizens TO
furnish IL hccarse II Is needed.

TRurlington Hawkeye.1

Burlington ttaNkeyS,J
Ole Hanson. the mayor of Seattle, Is
one OF the few who wake UP over
night to ind themselves famous. He
prevented and put down what threat
sDcd to be a very serious state OF al
fairs. He showed, what has so often
been shown in the past, what one man
can do. who IS firm and knows what
ne wants.
The mayor in recent statement
shows that nc mas studied the PROB
lens. which are up not merely In some
of our western states. but In all thH
union, and perhaps all the world.
Speaking more specially of his hons
problems he emphasizes the fact, thar
it Will not suffice to simply use force
That the custom of making undes.r-
ab,es move on. is no solution of the
problem bat only complexities the sit
uation and makes a bad matter worse.
He suggests that something must be
found to take the place OF the saloon,
and il must De found soon; that great
amusement halls must be provided.
and better living and housing condi-
tions must be provided. Also that big
public works should be inausurated
Immediately. where all will ind en-
ployment.
In another way he says what Eu-
ropean observers have pointed out,
that the way 10 fght bolshevism Is
with food or as Hoover SAYS, the SAL
walton Of the people lies III getting to
work" He emphasizes what goes back
much further and that is that man is
his brothers keeper, that we mrTt
know how the other half lives and
help IL 10 better living. and that in
stead Of curing all kinds OF social
troubles. some of the popular methods
OF proceeding against strikers or mall
contents will but arI-Tevate conditions.

After everything had been made

In the bushes along the banks Of

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Ed.yard Fitzgerald,
IS 1T YOURS?

MARCH 81. 1909

Edward Fitzgerald, who will always
be immortal for his translation OF
Omar Khayyam, was born as Edward
Purcell in Rredfield House Suffolk.
England. His father. Purcell. who
hid married Miss Fitzgerald, later
adopted the name and coat Of arms Of
the wife's family. 80 it was as Fitz-
gera d--and generally as "old Fitz.
that the poet went thru life.
AT college he became acquainted
with Thackeray. and later he formed a
life long friendship with Tennyson.
Part OF his youth he spent in or near
Paris. then he settled in his native
county of Suffolk and never left eS-
capt for short visits. His days were
given over to reading. music flowers.
and to sailing. He made no special
effort To gain literary fame or TO
know the great men of the time. His
few friends he loved devotedly and
they seemed to satisfy him.
He began studying Persian pottery
and brouGh: out. anonymously. 4

the penny table of the old books. Then
Rossetti found it. and Swinburne read
II. and Immediately their praise Great
ed demand for It. At once its
beauty captivated everyone, student
and laymen alike. Today, there is
no other poem Of its class so widely
known, or so well liked.
Fitzgerald published some other
TRANSACTIONS of ancient poems. He
died in 1889. very quietly and painless

BOLSHEVISM.
IDubuuue Times-Journal.I

tDuDuqNe Tlmes-Journai.i
In the campaign against bolshevism
the support VI every good citizen may
be expected. There Is no room In this
country for the anarchist, nor for any
thing he represents. One Of the I'M
portant means OF dealing with this
problem, however should not be over
looked.
Careful attention and earnest atten-
ton should De given the just grew
ances Of every class in the country. II
there is discrimination of any kind
against the interests Of the farmer,
whether intentional or otherwise, that
condition should be remedied by con-
structive legislation as soon as possible.
The industrial workers Of this nation
should be given every possibdle adran-
tage that Is consistent with the general
welfare.
Until the millennium We will not
have a perfect society. but We can aim
at perfection, square deal for all our
people. A continuous and determined
campaign to remove the just sriev-
ances of every element in society will
do more than anything else to put the
anarchist and the political demagosue
out of business.

. PAYING FOR THE WAR


There are two ways OF paying the
expenses of q war.
One is to issue government bonds,
so that the payment OF the costs may
be distributed over a period Of years.
The other is 20 pay as the war goes
along, raising the money by taxation.
In modern wars, with expenses so
stupendous, payment of war costs out
Of current taxes is impossible. because
It would be too heavy burden and
would serve to aid the enemy by de-
stroyina business at home when IT
