The approach to the stats In this

settler came here as an Individual He
built his log cabin. cleared the forests
and cultivated the land as an indivi-
dual. In fellowship with his neighbors
he established schools and churches
and plotted Off the village common.
Because tho American has been q
pioneer he believes that all govern
ment arises from the people, and that
it derives its powers from the con-
sent Of the governed. Government Is
merely AN instrument to help the
people help themselves and to protect
them in the enjoyment OF their Unborn
right TO liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness.
socialism is the historic heir Of feud-
alism. Tho individual exists for the
German or Russian state just as he
existed for the foudal state in the mid
die ages, The psychology OF feuda-
lism remains in modern socialism. In
situations have changed, but the habit
Of mind has remained.
The feudal bent Of socialism carries
Il too far toward Capitalization and
submergence OF the individual In the
state. Possibly also the pioneer bent
in the American has carried him too
far toward laissez- faire in economics
and politics. Practical truth may lie
between the two extremes. 1t may be
that individual liberty can best be con-
served, when the state sets some rules
Of tho game and supervlses some OF
the plays.
But at a time when the pendulum
tends TO swing too far toward COM
munism, 1t behooves US to remember
that the fathers OF the republic
founded the United States on the basis
Of individual freedom. 1t was upon this
foundation that they built their sue
cess. The state exists for the indivd-
ual, but the individual cannot live In
civilization without the state, There

DOESN'T FAVOR sAccHARIN.
Government Says It's Use as Food nay
Be Harmful.

The use OF sacchar!n in place OF
sugar. which many housewives are be-
Ing tempted to resort to In these days
Of sugar shortage, may involve menace
to the health. and therefore is to be
condemned, according to specialists n
the bureau of chemistry Of the United
States department OF agriculture. In
most cases housewives have turned 10
this substance in their emergency be-
cause they do not understand that sac
charm L. a harmful drug; to consider
1t a harmless healthful substitute for
sugar is absolutely false. say the gov
eminent chemists.
The department Of agriculture has
received a number OF inquiries con-
corning the properties Of saccharih
and in every case 1t has answered by
condemning the use OF tho drug Tor
cooking purposes. 1t calls attention to
the fact that the bureau Of chemistry
Is now aiding in the prosecution OF
large st. Louis concern whcih makes
saccharin, for violation OF the food and
drug act.
THE attempt to exploit the short
age Of sugar and create demand Tor
saccharin for use in place Of sugar en-
beavers 70 capitalize the publtc's lack
OF knowledge Of the properties OF this
substance, and the bureau of chemistry
feels called upon to reiterate the warn
ings which 1t has given repeatedly IN
it's publications." said Carl L. Alsberg.
chief OF the bureau. who cites his tes-
t;mony before a subcommittee OF the
senatc's committee on agriculture on
+ba same sub1ect, as showing tho ex-
tent Of the present menace due to the
public not being properly Informed.
THE department regards the use OF
a. charm in food as a menace ia
health" says DR.. Alabers. This II
the pos,tion Of the department today
AZ It was In 1911. when official deci-
sions were rendered. There has been
no scientific evidence adduced on the
basis of which tho department woulo
be justified in any manner In altering
its position.
THE department regards food tc
which saccharin has been added al
adulterated. since a substance hat
been added to the food which may
render It deleter!ous to fcaith. 1t alsc
regards It as aculterated In that sub.
stance OF no food value whatever nal
been substituted for sugar. very val
liable food. The department has no"
pending a criminal prosecution agains'
one concern for tho shipment inter.
state Of a parcel Of saccherin labeled
"a harmless. Furthermore, majority
OF states prohibit the use Of saccharir
IN food. either by statute or by reg
ulation."

Socialism and Feudalism.

A casual reading Of the names Of
those who advocate socialism In the
United States today discloses that
most Of them denote Continental
European rather than an American or
British origin. This does not neces-
sarily indicate ignorance or perversity.
But the Continental approaches ques-
lions Of state activity from q different
angle than his British or American
cousin.
This is easily understood. when one
remembers, that tho governments OF
Continental Europe are different in
theory az well as in origin from those
Of Great Britain and this United States.
The continental Is accustomed to view
the state In tsI1ns OF ,feudai conditions.

The charges may DO exaggerated.
But there seems to be some founda-
ton for them. They are being In

And the managers win be quick TO
note that fact and to come out Of the
investigation with the determination
that whatever happens, never again

their most valuable asset. Many things
may happen but under all conditions
that sport must be kept clean, must

IOWA ..u.rS AND OPINION.

I'VE notice by the dispatches from
Washington that the "objectors" are
not going to be allowed to take adj
vantage of the free land for soldiers"
says The Logan Observer. Now isn't
after letting them out of the peniten-
tiaries before they had served any
where near the time they wer esent up
for and giving them a nice new suit
OF ciVies apiece, which the fellows who
fought had to buy Tor themselves and
$50 for travel pay, too, then go and re-
fuse to let them take Land like real
men and soldiers are allowed to do.
What Is most surprising Is that each
one OF them Is not given a house and
a lot and government job"
The Carroll Herald would welcome
an opportunity to make the league Of
nations an issue In the coming pri-
mary election campaign in Iowa by
having some candidate who is a parti-
san of the league come out against
Senator Cummirs. The Herald in
sists that there are many in tho Re-
publican party who never supported
Senator Cumnins for office but who
want to endorse him in the next pri-
mary, believing that he has done a
most signal service to his country in
the attitude he has taken relative to
the league. The Herald Is sure that
Senator Cummins would win an over
whelming victory in any fight that
could be lodged against him on the
league Of nations and asks who Is an
xious to contest with him on that issue.

Under modern housing and charity

PICTURESQUE CORNER OF IOWA.

Dubuque Times Journal
No part OF Iowa IS more interesting
from the point Of view OF natural
scenery than the northeastern corner
Of the state in which we live. And
that the remarkable beauty Of It's
physical features finds q parallel in the
romance of its history Ia evident to
anyone who reads a Historical
Sketch on the Park Region about
McGregor, Iowa, and Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin by Miss Althea X. sher-
man in recent numbers of Iowa Con-
servation."
The geogolists OF the country have
commented with peculiar interest upon
the "driftless area of the valley which
stood up like an island in the glacial
epoch, untouched by the ice fields that
smoothed off the surrounding land. II
was a bit Of Iowa that first caught the
eye of white EMPLOYERS when Marquette
and Joliet Padded out OF the Wiscon-
sin river into the Mississippi and look
ed across at the region about the pres
ent site OF McGregor. in those early
days Indians held athletic contests and
fought wars in this region. French fur
traders came in to follow their adven-
turous profession; Americans followed,
and Zebulon Pike and Catlin and
Schoolcraft and Zachary Taylor and
Jefferson Davis played their little parts
on the western frontier where the
Wisconsin and Mississippi meet Few
places in all the Mississippi valley
would seem TO lend themselves more
adequately for public park purposes
than this picturesque spot With its ro-
mantle past.

KNOCKING AT THE GATES.

Long ago in India there lived holy
man. For many years this good man
performed many kind works. At the
end of that time he mounted the three
steps that took him to the doors of
Paradise, and knocked loudly till he
heard Voice. And the voice said:
Who is it that knocks?"
ut is your servant, Lord, who seeks
entrance replied the holy man.
But there was no answer, and the
gates remained closed
Then the man went away, and per,
formed many other good deeds, and
for seven years lived beautiful life
working for others. At the end of that
time he once more mounted the three
steps, and tapped loudly at the portals
of Heaven.
Who is it that knocks?"
ut is thy slave, o Cod" he replied
But the doors never moved.
"Ah," thought the holy man. 81
have been selfish. | must not think OF
myself. In future / will do good for
its own sake"
So he went away, and for seven
more long and weary years he strove
to live noble life, and his selfishness
completely vanished. At the end o.
those seven years of toll he went uI
the three steps leading to Paradise
and knocked gently.
And he heard the Voice, which said:
Who knocks there?"
And he answered:
1T is your child, my Father"
And the gates opened, and he
walked in.

LET'S PRETEND.

Let's pretend, just for today,
That our hearts are free from woe:
That the wind blows just the way
We would like to have it blow.
Let's pretend that what we do
Is the work we like the best;
Let's pretend the scene we view
Is of all the loveliest.
Let's pretend we're satisfied;
Let's pretend we're grave and strong;
Maybe after we have tried
We can do it right along.

London, March 10Th. The Committee
appointed by the international Confer
ence summoned by Mr.. Lloyd George in
February last to consider the causes of
labour unrest and to enquire into the
question of hours and wages, has com
pleted its report, which will be sub
mitted to another meeting OF the Con
ference on April 4th. The commit
tee consisted of thirty representatiye s
of the employers and 30 representa-
tives of the Trade Unions. The report
contains a whole series of far-reaching
recommendations for improving the con-
ditions of the workers and employees
1t is said to have been unanimous
Nv adopted, which is considered a
favourable augury for the preserva-
ton of industrial peace in the future.
The committees recommendations deals
not only with hours and wages, but
also with conditions Of employment,
measures for preventing unemploy-
ment for the maintenance OF work
iog-people during unemployment, and
the establishment Of machinery or the
Improvement of existing machinery for
negotiation and agreement. For the pur-
pose of conducting further inVestiga-
lions, Of keeping matters effecting the
industrial situation under continual re-
view, and Of furnishing the Govt. with
advice upon them, the committee recon-
mends the establishment of a permanent
industrial council,
London, March 18th. The Miners Con
terence has decided to recommend to its
members That Jney accept the Sankey re-
port for the settlement Of the miners de
mands on the Govt. and that a ballot will
be taken on the question. A resolution
passed by the Conference, unanimously
calls upon the. Govt. Immediately to with
draw the British troops from Russia, and
to induce the Allies to do likewise. The
resolution also declares for the with
drawal Of the Military Service Bill before
Parliament adjourns. Otherwise, the
resolution declares, the Conference
will take steps in conjunction with
other labour parties to compel Parlia
ment to withdraw the bill, The men
are urged to continue at work on day
to-day contracts, pending a further
conference after the ballot is taken.
The official report of the Confer
, 1919-03-29

ence on Tuesday at the Board of
Trade between Govt. Representatives
and the Executive Committee of the Mi
ners, show that the Govt. decided to ac-
cede to the notifications of the Sankey
report as suggested by the miners. who
asked that the SIX hour day be brought
into force in July 1920 instead OF July
1921 and the wage increase be two shit
llngS and six pence, instead OF TWO shll-
lings. Mr.. Bonar Law for the Govern
ment, argued that the miners had gained
enormously by the Sankey report and
that by striking they would lose many
prospective advantages from the contin-
n Of the Sankey Commission.
