ties.-Theodore Roosevelt.
IN GOOD FORM.

Figures from the national bureau OF health
show that the past summer saw the people OF
the United States in better physical status than
any other within recent records. There was
loss sickness the country over and much less
fatal sickness than for the past ten summers;
records of years before this time limit were not
compared by the experts. Moreover, reports
cause the bureau to declare that there has been
widespread preparedness against disease IN
cleaning up community households, establishing
health clinics, turning attention to sanitary pre-
cautions \ word is said in encouragement for
the belief that influenza will not be epidemic
in this country to any such extent as 1t was
last wear If this proves good prophecy we are
likely to escape a menace that year ago cost
the world fifteen million lives and left it dire
ravages to rival those of the war. These are
days when good philosophy takes careful note
of its blessings No matter what trials are be-
fore people, they will be met with better hope
and with better success with sound bodies to
aid in keeping sound minds at work on the
means to meet them

THE SPENDING MANIA.

The conclusion of Mr.. Hoover as laid before
q congressional committee, is that the mania
for buying expensive things is one big element
contributing to higher prices of commodities
and foods This is confirmed by the Massa-
chusetts commission investigating the high
cost of the necessities of life. The commission
finds an extravaganza which amounts to incon-
ceivable recklessness, and characterizes it as
an epidemic of incredible foolishness on the
part of people who never had so much money
before and are throwing it away right and left.
Not only do their buy the costier articles of APP
parel, turning with contempt from more service
able lower in price but they seem to have lost
their Judgment; and in the Boston markets in
stead of buying for eight cents fish caught two
DAYS before they will pay forty cents pound
for halibut ught on the Pacific coast six weeks
ago.
The only thing that such childish thriftIess-
ness can possibly mean is that if hard times
come, or when they come, hosts of the people
with nothing but spendthrift habits to show for
their season of prosperity will be worse off than
they ever were before. 1t probably is fruitess
TO point out this or anything to them now; and
it is one of the most curious of all the puzzlng
facts of life that so few people can be taught by

And old question, subject OF age

The fact remains that men as rule

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Waterloo Times Tribune: The pub
lie cannot conceive OF the government
backing down-laying down It's Wea-
mons while the miners have theirs IN
their hands. With the strike on, II
would be no compromise at all. III
few men, 100000 of them, are so
strong that they can determine the
matter of settlement of controversy
to which the government is party
by making the government surrender
then these men are stronger than
the government.
Charles City Press: 1t would be
eood thing If a lot of labor agitators
would establish six-hour day for
themselves.
Perry Chief: The coal dealers VINO
are Directing to the government resu-
lation of prices will be given ABOUT
as much consideration as highway
man. The government is not gong
TO fix a price which would compel a
dealer to lose money or even lose q
profit. They can ask for no more anu
be Americans.
Cedar Rapids Republican: the
miners may think that it is smart to
defy the president of the United
States. who represents the govern
u,ent but it may not be as smart as
II looks to them. No one has gone
far in defiance Of government that
ia still fairly well constituted.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: MOST
everybody in the country seems TO be
irving out every other device but the
right one to reduce the high cost Oh
living. Economy is the only cure for
our troubles in this line.
Davenport Times: In Germany tne
coal miners have agreed to a twelve
hour day in order to put the coun-
try back in the economic game, re-
CARELESS of a new wage scale. Leave
II TO the Germans to win the war
one way il they lost 1t in another.
Des Moines Capital: We do not pc
lieye in the classes, nor in class iegls-
Iation. but we can say definitely that
no man owes his poverty today, II ne
ia moor, to the high cost of bread and
meat. He owes it to his own extrava-
gance and his own wastefuiness
more than to any other cause.

womAN,s SEVERITY 70 WOMAN

Philadelphia Inquirer: Indicted for
eloning with man whom She pre-
ferred to her husband, a Cleveland
woman, with the consent OF the
court, put her case in the hands OF
an advisory jury Of her own sex In
the believe that she woufd receive a
larger measure of sympathy from
them than from jury of men.
Considering the experiences OF
women offenders generally, this was
a strange obsession on her part. The
difficulty Of convicting woman par
ticularly in cases Of serious nature,
is VIGOROUSLY great. The attorney
for the defense almost invariably
pleads her sex as suffi: cient reason
for clemency. Women criminals OF
the worst kind often have thus
escaped paying the full penalty. The

Are YOU sleeping, sleeping soundly
Comrade over there,
Where the grasses wave above you
In the summer air,
Where we laid you as we found you
With the ravaged land around you
Grim and bare?
Can you hear the bugle blowing
Faint and far away?
Can YOU hear the loud drums thropoing,
Hear the trumpets bray,
Hear the tribute that we render
To the souls that won the splendor
or the day?
TITS the day we fought and toiled for,
The day for which you died,
Underneath the flag OF freedom,
The banner of our pride,
Which today is proudly flying
Ger the fallen victors lying
Side by side.

When battle-worn battalions
Salute the hcnored dead,
Shall feel the brown earth shaken
And to knowledge shall awaken

Wilson's Lack Of Tact.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Tact is a quality made peculiarly
conspicuous by its absence in the
character of Mr.. Wilson. 1t was the
lack of tact that aroused strong per-
sonal antagonism toward the presi-
dent even before the war began, a
personal opposition stronger than
party feeling, an opposition that
existed, though seldom expressed,
even in his own party.

PLENTY OF MONEY.

That there is no real ground for the com
plaints of low wage scales is apparent to the
unprejudiced observer. He has only to read
the reports of doings on the Irregular stock
markets and the g ads on the financial pages Oh
newspapers that will print any advertisement
SO long as they get money for it or seem likely
to get the money. These reports and these
lads give the names of hundreds OF stocks
that were never heard of before, oil, silver, gold
and other things. And hundreds of them are
not likely to be heard Of again
Such '.ads' and such dealings do not come
when money is scarce. They come when 1T is
plentiful, when it has been distributed IN liberal
quantities among those who know nothing OF
ctocks ar bonds or markets Alluring in the
prospects they offer of converting few hun
dred dollars into substantial fortune, they
are designed to garner this distributed wealth
and place it where it belongs-in the pockets
of promoters and stock sellers.
