PuslIo SERVICE AND TINE RIGHT 70 STRIKE.

The police In Boston struck as
force and turned the city over to lis
order. robbery and crime. Women
were assaulted, stores looted approx
mately half n million dollars worth Of
property destroyed and damaged.
There is something about that de-
liberate decision to strike in body
and leave the city undefended that
smirches every policeman involved
with an ineffaceable stigma. Under
the law it was not a crime but morally
1t was criminal whatever the pro-
vocation may have been. Probably the
policemen were underpaid and deserve
the raise they ask for but Boston is
their city and they are citizens ana
citizens duty devolves upon them as
upon all citizens. It is as tho cred
itor should set fire to home in order
to force payment of debt.
There is no reason why public
servant should not seek and find en-
ployment that pays and suits better
than the public service whenever the
desire obtains or necessity urges; but
there is every reason in equity and
even in decent citizenship why any
public service force should be denied
the legal right to deliberately destroy
the peace and protection Of the city
or strangle common interests in order
to force a class demand and provision
land that when q man takes on public
service he foregoes the right to de-
by organized action.

SENATOR KtNy0N's STAND.

Senator kenyon's positive STAND
against the peace covenant except
with the reservations recommended by
the foreign relations committee will set
meet Iowans thinking seriously. The
senator expresses himself in the
strongest manner possible. He de-
clares his readiness to resign his SEN

vor the ratification of reservationless
covenant, and prociaims his belief that
to vote for the pact as it stands would
be close to treason to this country and
so considered by the people Of this
state n the years to come. 1t is no con-
clusion arrived upon hastily by Sena-
tor Kenyon, for he says:
However, I say deliberately ana
measuring my words, that If every
man, woman and child in the state of
Iowa was for this covenant as now
proposed without any reservations that

would be my duty to resign and IL l

would be a traitor to my convictions
and that would be doing an injury to
the people of my state and my nation
to support this treaty with the propos-
ed covenant Of the league of nations
as it now is.
Senator Cummins spoke sententious-
" and plainly when he said that he was
for the reservations and against the
pact as 1t stands. He went farther.
He would add other reservations.
If Iowa has trusted leadership and
one that has earned and deserved lead
ership and trust the two senators,
Cummins and Kenyon represent IT.
Looking backward over the leadership
stand on public questions. They are
not mere politicians trimming the
sails Of office to the winds of expe-
diency but real leaders Of public
thought, constructive statesmen and
sincere servants of the people as a
whole. When they speak so definitely

LET'S CONTINUE the CURATIVE PROCESS.

The heating plant at the Knoxville
jag cure is to be dimantled and ship
ped to Toledo for use in the orphans
home to be established there. The
drunk hospital has run out Of business.
1t has responded to treatment and Is
to be discharged. And only a few
years ago it was lively place, full Of
business and delirtum tremens. When
Old Bill Bones became so thoroughly
alcoholized that he wasn't profitable
even to the saloons and an annoyance
to the drug stores we began to take
notice that he wasn't providing any
thing but sorrow and torture to his
family and we sent him to Knoxville.

and sometimes we found them and sent
them back but there was an occupant

SILVER with the cold when dad spent
everything he earned for booze so that
the saloonkeeper could buck the
board" and buy diamonds for "foozies.'
It is both appropriate and pleasing
that the heating plant which once kept
dipsomaniacs from freezing should be
placed in an orphans home. 1t is part
Of the happy change that has come to
Iowa.
Now if we shall give the same strict
and altrustic attention to the orphans
that we used to give to the DRINKS all
will be happily settled. Drunkenness Is
not the only maker Of orphans and
neglected children. This home should
be for all children who are not get

ing to send the boys of this country to
fight for some boundary line in the
Balkans or to repel an invasion of the
kingdom of Hejaz," he said, but the
people are perfectly able to read sec
ton Y. and understand what territorial
integrity and existing political inde-
pendence and external aggression
mean. They can not be permanently
dceived.'
There is not the least doubt that the
section referred to by the senator
means precisely what the senator says
it does. 1t means that American youth
must fight the boundary line battles Of
Europe as it is fighting in Siberia and
Russia today against an alleged gov
eminent against which we have never
declared war. And in connection with
this section it is perfectly in order to
ask whence those armies to police Eu-
rope are to be drawn and how: for
practically every enlisted man who has
seen service agrees with every other
that under no circumstances would he
again volunteer for foreign service. If
we are to send great armies across
seas to fight in the quarrels Of the
Balkans it means that they must be
raised by consumption and the least
wise Of us know that CONSUMPTION for
such purposes would be repudiated
by the people Of the United States.

Candidates for City Offices.

Four candidates for mayor, 80 for commits
sioner and five for police magistrate shows a
material decline in interest in city elections on
the part of aspirants for Office There are sew
eral explanations, one of the most plausible
being the higher cost of things generally and
the recent advance in wages and salaries. The
$1,000 paid the mayor and the $4,000 paid COM
missioners are not as attractive formerly.
Another factor, undoubtedly, is the prospec-
tive difficulties that the new administration
must face, with abbreviated revenue higher ex-
penses in every direction, tie city making a
normal growth and the people demanding more
and more in the way of service. Necessity for
rigid economy shuts out Of public life such
stray rays of sunshine as might otherwise filter
in through the cracks and makes official exist
ence forioru indeed.
The one consolation in connection with
reduced list of aspirants is the greater ease Of
making a selection. Heretofore under the COM
mission form 1t has been largely a gamble. It
should not be one this spring.

The Presidents Address.

President Wilson's address at Boston yes
terday the league of nations should bring
a lot of the wagering ones to their senses As
usual he puts the matter in light that leaves
little room for doubt or equivocation-
1t is strange that it is necessary to remind
anyone, Americans least of all, that those who
compose the peace conference are the servants.
not the masters of the people What the people
expect, what they insist shall be done, every
body who is honest with himself knows, even
if he is not willing to admit it
There was doubt in the minds of men as
to what We were fighting for while the war was
on. There is none now, outside of reactionary
circles. The minds of the people have not
changed, though they may not be making SO
much noise as the opponents of an tnterna-
donal organization for the prevention OF war
If need be they viii speak, as the president told
his hearers. and their voice will not be pleasant
to hear. Failure to take the strongest possible
measures to prevent recurrence of the ordeal
through which the world has passed viii mean
revolution everywhere in Europe and it will
seriously endanger the government of the
United States. The president has told US this
and undoubtedly he knows what he is talking
about
America saved the old world in battle It
must save the old world again in the arranging
Of peace. Through intercession in both war
and in peace it will be saving also itself.

CURRENT COMMENT

gone out that no quarter is to be
allowed the BOlsheVists. The at
| tack upon the French premier has
caused the French to look serious
ly to the protection of not not only
| French officials, but of the many
other officials representing a dozen
and more nations. In Switzerland
where there is as ideal form of
public protection as exists in the
world, the Swiss officials have in
structed the guards to he on the
| lookout for dangerous individuals
and groups and to arrest those who
are suspicious characters. And in
the United States, the industrial
centers and political centers are
following some such an example as
that of Mayor Ole Hansen, who
talked little and acted much when
the I. W. W. and BolsheVist men
ace became serious.
In this country, as in other coun-
tries having responsible govern
ments, the government goes under
the principle that little violence
should be practiced by officials in
enforcing law and protecting prop
erty But the growing menace of
Bolsheyism-under whatever name
it may haye-has made the officials
realize that a criminal of low brain
power can be argued with more eff
fectiVely with a club or a revolver
than with words or documents.
In these serious times, RESPONSE
BILE governments and officials know
that it will be a national and a
world menace if Bolshevism is al
lowed to develop more. They know
also that serpents cannot be argued
with-except with a weapon that
they will understand. They know
that search warrants or John Doe
warrants or police court trials will
not stop a radical whose mind is
filled with decisions that all men
who are representing govern
ment are autocrats and dangerous
individuals.
/. W. W.-ism, Bolshevism and the
red program will fail only when
the dangerous radicals are inform
ed that organized governments are
determined that there will be no
compromise with viciousness and
that there will be no dilly-dallying
with would-be murderers.

The Red Cross will earn the gratitude of
many thousands OF Americans in photograph
ing the graves of all identified American SOL
diers buried in France and sending them home
to the next of kin. 1t may be impossible, or at
least inexpedient, to remove the bodies to home
soil and relatively few of the members of the
families of the martyrs to the cause of liberty
ever will visit the scene of burial on foreign
soil. The photographs may be all that many
Americans will have to help them to visualize
the last resting places of their sons, brothers,

HELPING HANDS.

Down a tortuously winding court
IN the poorest quarter OF the city
infested with ramshack1y tene-
ments and the lowest Tade of bus
mess shops, Arden Bierce pressed
his way until he came to a low
drinking den, which he entered.
He glanced about at the group of

disappointed, peered past the open
doorway OF a rear room and utter
