As TO PERsHINes CANDIDACY.

sentiment as to q Pershing candi dacy
for the presidency. thru questionnaires
addressed to the newspapers.
If there Is any strong or even no
t!ceable current OF sentiment toward
General Pershing as presidential
candidate IL has not made itself mani
fest unless the Lincoln propaganda Is
so Indicative. Tho the state appre-
ciates the general in fun measure as
a military man and commander there
is no evident desire in Iowa TO see him
nominated or elected.
Lowden's and Woods name are oft
en- mentioned in common converse
ton. The drift seems to be toward
those two with perhaps a little strong
er current towards Lowden because
Of his nativity in this state. But so
far little or no mention Is made of
Pershing.
General Pershing-it he desires to
capitalize his military fame into polit-
ical strength-has fallen upon a pecu-
liarly unfortunate time. Heretofore
We have fastened to prefer political
advancement to our victorious gener-
ais. Now II seems to be about the

AS A LABOR PAPER SEES 1T.
[Cedar Rapids Tribune.l

In It's fight to prevent the passage
Of the Cummins measure that would
return the railroads to private owner

claimed is eXorbitant, the leadership
Of organized labor az found In the
brotherhoods and the American Fed
Grafton make one correct statement
that all honest men will admit to Do
true when 1t is claimed that govern
ment operation has not had fair
trial. Without doubt profiteerin6
and waste entered more largely into
the operation Of the railroads under
federal control during the war period
and since-than in any other or all
other lines Of Industrial activity with
the possible exception Of munition and
army supply contracts. Unfair TACTICS
upon the part Of the Arrangements
with the full intent and purpose OF
causing poor service plus highly ex-
pensive operating with the end In view
of disgusting and discourasing the av-
erage citizen, were carried out TO TINS
smallest detail. These policies, origi-
mating higher up" were carried out
by the lowest subordinates even down
to the straw bosses in the train ser
vice and in the shops, offices and all
branches of railroading. Naturally and
by degrees the rank and file OF the
employees absorbed and adopted Nke
methods until we arrived at the stage
where railroading became joke ooth
from a financial and operative stand.
ard. We know these things to have
happened continually and became
practice rather than the exception
from the direct testimony given US by
railroad men in all branches OF the
service in Cedar Rapids. They decried
the tendency to waste time and mater
iais but truthfully stated that they
could not supercede or 90 behind or
over those in authority that either
openly countenanced or overlooked the
criminal waste in daily operation.
Whatever may be the beliefs OF men
regarding government operation and
ownership based upon various con-
ceptions Of practicability In such mat
tiers. there Is no contradiction to be
honestly made OF the claim that dur
ing the past two years or more II has
not been given an honest. fair trial
in the federal control Of the ran sys-
tens in this country. In reality We
have had nothing but federal financ-
ing plus private operation-with
big motive upon the part Of the man
agements who desired to bring about
public disfavor against any system
of actual government ownership.

IOWA OPINION AND COMMENT.

The governor has appointed his men
TO reorganlZe the national guard in
Iowa. With true political instinct he
avoided appointment Of some OF the
best soldiers in the state" declares the
Cedar Rapids Gazette. For example,
he forgot Gen. II. a. Allen, hose rec
ord as a soldier is uneXcelled by any
man OF his rank, in or cut OF the reg
ular army. But General Allen is not
a politician. Governor Harding's abil-
ity to choose men for military affairs
was quite laughabiy demonstrated
when the lGsth ammunition trains
commissioned personnel faded away
after it landed at Camp Cody in 1917"
Now cut out jabbing at the pack
ers, for 1t remains a fact that meat Is
ABOUT the only edible that has even
thought Of hitting the toboggan," says
the Oelwein Register.
Strange that 1t took Mr.. Havner all

Joe Beckett. the English fighter, is surely a tough looking specimen. They say he is just as formidable as he looks when the bell clangs for ifs tic action. He is about six feet high, weighs nearly 200 pounds and Is mas sively put together. This British champ has rushing, ripping style of milling not unlike our own Jack Dempsey. That he can hit was proven by his knockout of Goddard who was deemed improbable just as Jim Jeffries was in his golden days of the ring.
 Nevertheless Joe BecketCs record doesn't begin to compare with that of Dempscy's as an argument for a TinS phenomenon.
