PEACE AND PEACE NOW.

Leakage from the real row in the
Paris conference which brings charges
of "blacunail' from the French jour
nails and indicates a serious split sug-
gests that whatever any bunch of con-
ferees may advance as the positive
serum which shall induce lions end
lambs TO lie down together with
winged child OF peace to lead them is
likely to turn out very much like Old
DR.. Brown Sequard's dope that was to
confer the privilege CT eternal youth
on those who took IT regularly.
While the peace clinic is creeping
along the very devil is 70 pay all over
eastern Europe and eastern Europe Is
the decimal point Of the future peace
of the world. The bolsheviks have
driven the allies out of Odessa, no.
body on this side knows, just what is
happening TO allied arms in Russia,
Germany herself is likely to ask for
allied troops to save her own life from
her own children. We are still UP in
the air.
France wants peace and protection
against future invasion. All the world
wants peace and peace first and is
ready to let the gable of the psycholo-
gists and the extreme idealists wait
on the present settlement. The enlist
ed men who are being held in Europe
want peace and the renewal Of oppor-
tunity for themselves. Not one in a
thousand of them is particularly in
terested in the conference at Paris

Dick Otter was mad clean thru at this

HARDING SHOULD Dc iMPEAcHEn.

Chairman Harrington, of the judi
ciary committee inquring into the
notorious pardon case, declares there
will be no compromise in the finding
of the committee. 1t is predicted at
Des Moines that impeachment will be
recommended against the governor but
that it is improbable that the COM
mittee will recommend Impeachment
proceedings against Havner.
The governor ought to be impeached
upon the evidence regardless of the
absence of positive proof that he took
money for the pardon. He granted
pardon to a man convicted Of the
crime of rape He slipped it by the
board of parole which was irregular II
not Illegal. He had evidence enough
before him to know that the Grim
inal was guilty. When first the leg
islature raised question he defed
its members and said that he had
acted upon the records in the case.
When the attorney general got after
him and unearthed a scandalous sit
uation the governor apparently made a
deal 70 admit that he had been de-
ceived 50 the pardon could be revoked.
Then came the testimony that the
governors state agent, travelling
around with him as body guard. was
the promoter of wrestling matches
and that the governors private secre-
tary was banking more money from
the proceeds of these pug sports
and from signing recommendations for
stock statesmen than ne drew from the
state. The governors friend and
hencAman at Ida Grove admitted that
he collected $1,000 for the pardon and
used part OF it to pay a poker debt.
Gubernatorial prestige and intimacy
seemed to be a prominent commodity
for barter and sale among sports and
gamblers.
The whole nasty mess raises legiti-
mate doubts as to the expenditure Of
hundreds of thousands Of dollars of
state funds appropriated for war fund
purposes. There should be complete
investigation of that. We should
know how many sports. and gamblers
and plug uglies. if any, drew pay from
the state to investigate the loyalty Of
reputable citizens during the war. Let's
probe the gossip about the purchase
of furniture for the executive mansion.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dan
drun is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy
1t entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces OF ordinary liquid arvon; appl~
II at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub It in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most If not all. Of your dandruH viii bs
zone, and three or four more applica-
tons will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of 1t, no matter how much dan.
drn~ you may have.
You will find, too that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop at once.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy; silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. II IL inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.

Topics of the Times

Maybe we can keep on boosting
prices and raising wages to conform
to price boosts but one of those boot
straps is going to bust some sweet day
and by and by we'll be considerably
Jared when we meet the ground.
Writing recommendations for stock
statesmen seems to be a very profitable
industry and shows how an industrious
person properly encouraged by his EN- :
ployer may make both ends meet and
lap over.
Whenever the conference gets balled
up and let's F'och do it the thing gets
done on the summer tine schedule.
There's a boy who always gets thru
before sundown
If we are % shake hands with the
Russian bolshe Wiki what's the sense of
keeping Gene Debs and those others ia
Jail?
Naturally he chap who had a muni-
ton job at 800 a week hates to think
of going back to the shop on less
wages. The remedy naturally is to
legalize 500 a week as a minimum
wage.
