Mr. James Pierce publisher OF the
Homestead in his evidence before the
committee of inquiry confessed that ne
did not write the matter In connection
with the Woodwork Clum charges out
as the newspaper reports state, left II
20 under,ngs II IL not In evidence
who did write II but a. Austin Haines
IL the associate editor and Bob Haines
appears as the Pierce attorney, IT IS
fair to assume that the responsibility
rests with the Haines outfit. The
Haines brothers were formerly at
Grinnell where they were we'll known
and where their memory endures.
But Mr.. Pierce's charges against the
Greater Iowa Association and Clum
were printed as The Personal Views
of the Publisher" led by his picture
and followed by his signature. 1t was
assumed of course that Mr.. Rierce
wrote personally those personal views
of his which make him responsible.
But he says he didn't know about it.
Is 1t possible that he has a dual per-
sopality or that he even failed to read
over the stuff his underlings got
out and Haunted before his readers as
the personal views of the publisher
signed by the publisher himself
1t will be a great disappointment to
those who have believed Mr.. Pierce
did it himself, whose opinions on lib
erty bonds and mud roads and the like
coincide with those Of the Homestead
and who have felt sort Of Siamese
twin connection between themselves
and the personality of Pierce 10 learn
that all the time they have had the
wrong number and have been in DALI
ance with the Haineses.
There are instances where men who
have fallen into dotage permit the I'M
bounded use Of their names and their
pictures and their authority to under
lings." These men are to be pitied
while they are to be blamed when such
permission involves misuse and SLAM
der and does irreparable injury to in
dividuals and to the public. If Mr..
Pierce has fallen into a trap like that
either himself or his next friends
should take measures.
A tinge of pity will mark the re-
sentiment and modify the condemnation
of the insulted soldiers, the slandered
association and the public at large
now that the humiliating confession
has been made that Mr.. Pierces per-
sonal views are not custom made but
handmedowns Of the Baxter street va
riety.

When Jimmie Con and Teddy Pos
sum and little Peter Rabbit reached
home after their visit to the Snow
Shoe Rabbits all the little Forest ami
mails sat around to hear all about those
wonderful cousins Of Peters.
Jimmie Coon told stories about all
they had seen and done, Jimmy Coon
drew such a long bow that at last no
ono believed a word he said.
Among other things, Jimmie Coon
said that Peter Rabbit was a wonder-
full swimmer. Now when Jimmie Coon
said this it was raining. and Peter was
sitting in his house and when he went
out he stepped high as usual. My how
he did hate to ge: his feet wet.
Not a soul believed that little Peter
could swim. SO Jimmie Coon thought
that as his word was DOUBTED. the only
way to make all the animals believe
all his tales was to let them see that
Peter was Il good swimmer.
Jimmie was perfectly willing to have
Peter show off how well he could
swim. But Peter wouldn't be shown
Off He just hated water and he never
would go near 1t unless he was in peril
Of his life.
Every time that Jimmie asked Pet
or to swim, aud at last he begged him,
little Peter scuttle1 away and hid for a
day or two. No one could find him. All
that time the rest Of the animals were
laughing at Jimmie Coon and calling
out, How are those wonderful rela-
tives Of Peter? Those Snow Shoe Rab-
bits. Those wonderful rabbits that

THIS Is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Richard Dana,
IS IT YOURsi
JUNE rs, 100.

The Dana family has always been
noted for the great men 1t produced.
And one Of the earliest Danas to play
a large part in the history Of the col
onies was Richard, born in 100.
Being Of a studious mind, he was
sent thru Harvard. Two careers were
open for such a man then, the law or
teaching. Richard Dana tried teaching
but gave it up for the practice Of law.
He acquired q high standing in his
home city Of Boston. He was tho
magistrate who signed the oath OF
Andrew oliver, that he, Oliver, should
make no effort to enforce the obnox-
ious stamp act. a scene dramatically
retold in the "Grandfathers Chair OF
Hawthorne. Dana himself vigorously
opposed the various tax measures le-
We'd on the colonies. He was one OF
the first Sons Of Liberty, and a factor
in bringing about the revolution. He
died during the early part Of the war
but his illustrious son Francis saw 1t
thru and saw also the foundations laid
for a really great nation.
Francis Dana carried on and COM
pleted his fathers work. He too was
q jurist, but he was also a politician
and one Of the big figures during the
revolution. Francis Dana was one OF
the many intellectual men who went
from the states to England to win over
the country to the point OF view Of her
colonies.

ROCKING THE BOAT IN lama.

Controversy between Tama and
Toledo as to which rival town should |
have the Lincoln highway part of the
primary road system Improvement
bids fair to capsize the boat and cast
all Of Tama county into the seas of
failure so far as receiving any of
Uncle Sans road money is concerned.
The primary road system in Tama
as approved by the state highway
commission fails to include the road
from Montour to Toledo but does in
clude the road from Montour to Tana,
hence Toledo is out to refuse to ac-
cept any Of Uncle Sans money for
paving in Tama county.
Why did not Tama concede to
Toledo that the primary road north
from Toledo would be the first to be
paved and thereby postpone the con-
test as to the Lincoln highway road
and not jeopardize the interests of
every other community in Tama coun-

be gotten to shore?
II Tama turns down Uncle Sans
money for paving now it can not vote
again for two years. Not only will it's
share of Uncle Sans money 20 to
some other county but it's share Of
its own automobile money will be
hung up in the state cooperation fund
until the attorney generals depart
ment finds some way to dispose of it
under the law and Tama for the next
two years will not have dollar to
even drag its primary roads unless
the federal government will approve
some other kind of federal aid
project than paving. With many other
counties voting to pave the chances
are that Tama will be kept waiting
outside the door for two years at least
In the meantime Tamas automobile
money will have to pay Tama's pro
rata share Of surveys on every federal
| aid project started in any other coun-
ty and Tama's share of Uncle Sam s
money will go to some other county.
Whether Tama can ever get any of
it's auto money back except for an ap-
proved federal aid project or not will
remain for the attorney general to de-
eide.
The acting director of the office of
public roads at Washington has mott

prove gravel roads on main thorofares

TUESDAYS TINE DAY.

time! How fast it flies but it viii
drag after that fateful midnight Of
June 30-July l. There viii be little
to speed the hours and touch the dark
ness with the high lights Of stimula-
ton.
Memory will crowd upon those lone
ly hours, memories of schooners with
collars on EN- and juleps frosty with
ice and fragrant with mint, OF nights
when good fellows got together with
stems and such like on the tables and
d good song trying to ring clear but
finding difficulty with thick tongues.
There will be "reminiscences Of days
and nights when cakes and ale were
standard and chimes were heard at
midnight. But what are cakes with
out the ale and how can those who
sung sing again on Uneeda biscuit
when they need d hooker. Pshaw,
might as well go home and to bed or
take the children to a picture show.
The times are out of joint. Also the
joints are out Of time. That IS they
will be when the federal authorities
get busy after July l.
1t is crowding things a little to
have the Germans sign on Friday and
the prohibitory measure go into effect
on the following Tuesday. The can
of history runs over. The pressure of
events makes the stuff wild. Big
things are taking place, great things
and mighty changes. Peace after
years OF terrible devastation of human
life and accumulated wealth, transat-

ways and prohibition. Verify the old

In Keoling's very interesting book on

soviet deputies, TO which he was an
cur and eye witness. RE relates thai.
One argued that no matter whether
man was Industrious or idle their wages
and their privileges must remain the
same. The second demurrcd and said,
Some way ought to be found TO diff
ferentiate' The first answered with
unimpcachable logic, That IL was the
only way equality could DC maintaineG,
for, If you penalize idloness, the In
dustrious will eventually become bet

could never allow"
Well, how would you arrange to

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

In the beginning Lloyd George told
Mr.. Wilson fatty that the so-called
freedom" Of the seas must be dropped
or England would have nothing to do
with the league. And that sophomore
freedom was dropped and has not been
heard Of since. Why should America
exhibit less spirit in the matter of the
Monroe doctrine, which is as truly
American as dominion of the seas Is
British?" asks the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican. IF it is said that that doc
trine Is implied, then what Is the OBJ
lection to saying that it is implied"
After blowing thru mud for three
miles to reach a graveled road" the
Rolfe Arrow wonders why 1t took
forty years to get a few of them. We
presume that in forty years more, al
ter we bump off of a wavy, rough
gravel road onto pavement, We will
look back and wonder why people were
so backward and opposed to the paving
OF primary road systems"
The Webster City Freeman-J Journal
says The thing for Gov Harding to
do is to call a special session in the
usual way. If he deems a special ses-
sion advisable, and let the state treas
ury bear the expense. If there is any
thing to be gained by a special session
one ought to be held. If the influence
&c Iowa or the side CO the ratifieT5 of
the amendment will have a good in
fluence on any wavering state, Iowa
ought to act as soon as possible"
