f'er the years OF extraordinary
plenty plenty OF money, plenty OF
work and plentiful wage and nrof,ts
IL comes with shock to most OF us
to leal'n that unemployment Is more
than considerable and destitution far
from infrequent in our own civ
Nevertheless it Is cold fact. There is
restitution and desperation in families
that must be relieved.
It is idle to ask why those families
are In want. 1t is altogether too late
to argue over that. The condition
exists and must be cared for. 1t is a
question Of samaritanism and not OF
economics now at this Christmas time.
Families Of several children do not
require any protracted time In which
to, become destitute when the bread
winner Is out Of work and sickness
has fallen upon the children or the
parents. There are such cases. A
widow with a family OF children
which she is trying to keep in school
by her hard labor need not be idle
long to bring her affairs to despera-
ton. C:ertainly some Of the destitute
have spent money foolishly'' when
they h;,'a It. Who hasn't? That is
outside the present need. Children
are hungry and unclad against the
cold. Isn't that enough for the present?
The american Legion. Salvation
Army end a, committee Of the Mar
sh..lltovn Club have tal.en the task
of relieving the acute distress Of
emergency cases. They will need the
help and cooperation Of every we'll
to-do citizen In their task. They
should meet willing response. Each
organization has taken It's share of
the work which has been as equally
divided els possible. Complete inves-
tigation and canvass have been made
or are being made. When the com
mittee from each and any of them
come to you it will be with informa-
ton and facts in hand. The citizen
thus applied to will then act accord
ing to the impulses that govern his
acts.
OF course the average citizen doesn't
see. He doesn't enter the scanty home
where the little baby lies in q rocking
chair gssping for life; he doesn't hear
or know Of the widow who works ten
hours q day at a factory and does a
washing or two for pay between p.
m. and midnight that she may main
tain her four children and keep them
in school; he doesn't see the howell in
which a deserted wife with two small
children lives and maintains her char.
acter and her home such as the home
is by the. hardest of manual labor. We
incline to syndicate our samaritanism
and so we miss the personal knowl-
edge and touch that would bring tears
Of gold from a miser.

obligation, an opportunity. Help do it

Fights, Plays, Booze and Famine;
Euer Think of 1t That Way?

A boxing match is a lot of fun for
the spectators. AT any rate spec
tators are quick to pay their money
to see a good scrap" Nobody's
fussing much over that
But wouldn't it be fair to put an
equal amount In the fund for starving
European children?
A good play Is worth while. It's
an amusement and q relaxation. It
costs cash and is gladly paid for at
the door. Absolutely all right, re-
spectacle and laudable amusement.
But II a child were starving inst
outside tho lights fellow would feel
as tho the least he could do would
be to put the price OF admission into

TIGHT MONEY,
TAnamOsa Eureka. |

The tight money period brings
forth an estimate that Iowa owes
financial centers of the east some-
thing like s1o0,o00,O00. Iowa is worth
every penny of this. The farms and
stock pens are overruning with prod
ucts that will more than meet the
bill, but the trouble is to liquidate,
with a slump In prices hitting pock-
etbooks and bank accounts. If all the
neatly printed certificates with green
borders, representing worthless
stock investments, could be turned
into bank accounts at their PURCHASE
value, Iowa would not long owe this
bill. We have prospered in great
measure in Iowa. Honest toll and
frugality have made the people of the
state rich and well to do, out with
the prosperity there has come some
thing of the gamblers spirit which
leads men to want to get riches by
the short route. The result is that
Iowa with it's great resources has
been sucker state for stock man
ipulations. Statesmen have waxed fat
in putting out everything from pack
ing house shares to oil stock. II the

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Speaking of brew" and hard cider
the Waterloo Courier fails to dis
Germ any notable difference. The
sweetened water. hops and raisins at
the outset contain no alcohol--the
stuff is mild and kickless, then. 1t
is exactly on a par with the Juice that
flows from the apple which is q
comely and healthful fruit. In each
case the punchfulness is the result of
time and the operations OF nature.

According to the Coal Trade Jour

most of the blame was laid a few
months ago-have not gone down. If
they can take six dollars less now
may 1t not be true that few months

1.-THE trouble with Iowa is, that she
is just blind on this permanent road
proposition" says the Waterloo Cour-
Ter. Her people look only at what
1t will cost to build hard surfaced
highways. They apparently can not
see the appalling losses resultant
from bad roads, not to mention the
vast amounts that are yearly spent
to build and maintain dirt roads"
The Muscatine Journal insists that
''The legislator who is blind to the
economy Of conserving human life
does not belong In our lawmaking
bodies. The citizen who begrudges
the slight increase in taxes which
such an appropriation would impose,
Is unworthy Of being a partner In
