BRookHARr AND TIE LEGION.

It appears that Smith Brookhart
was at the World War Veterans
meeting In Fort Dodge. where Martin
and Barlow did the red tagging
which has become notorious over the
state. Brookhart was at that meet
ing and made speech there. 1t Is
true that he left the meeting before
the bolshevist oratory was spilled.
But Brookhart was one Of the speak
ers at that meeting and part Of its
program.
That puts question up to Col.
Brookhart who 10 blazoning his char
ter membership in the American Ls-
gion from the political platforms Of
his campaigning. There M no reason
why Brookhart should rsiterate his
membership in the legion except that
he hopes thereby to attract support
from lesionaries. Therefore It IL
strange that he should fail 70 resent
tho comparison Of the American flag
with the red flag to the advantage of
the bolshcvist symbol. For Brook
hart spoke At that meeting. Between
The American Legion and the World
War Veterans, - the latter organiza-
ton 10 represented By the organizer,

have been objected to seriously by
legionaires in Mason City and Cedar
Rapids and other posts OF the legion
to the extent OF bsinR refused halls
to speak In and with request to
carry their un-Amsricanism else
where.
II there IL . possible explanation
outside Of his anxiety to secure votes
-of Col. Brookhart's participation In
tho meeting made notorious by the
Barlow Martin oratory and the ap-
plause that greeted It, It seems that
he should hasten to make It not only
to legionaires but to an American
public generally. The cult Of the ls-
giou 10 100 per cent Alner1canism

Topics of the Times

The Armenian mandate failed. The
president isn't having much luck
mandating lately.
Col. Brookhart had an opportunity
At Fort Dodge which he seems to
have neglected or avoided. He
might have said few words Of pro-
test and condemnation Of the atti-
tude Of Barlow and Martin and the
language directed toward the Ame1-
can government. He would. have
been stronger with tho federation
had he repudiated those orators and
with oitissns generally. The chances
are that II Martin had sprung that
sort of stuff before tho convention
he might have been led out by
the ear At the hands Of indignant
unionists.
Why is 1t that man will brag
more about securing 4 quart In tho
drouth than Of pulling or business
deal that Melted $4,000?
It's like this: You can't run the
auto without gasolene and We can't
run the railroads without equip
msnt and rails. Wen have to come

Voting BY Families.


While American Legislatures
dawdle over the granting OF suffrage
to women our French ne. ghbors are
considering q bill now before the
chamber Of deputies which provides
not only for the enfranchising OF
women. but for giving poltticai
weight to minor children. Many
families whose male members gave
their lives for France now have no
voice In the affairs of SDvernmnt.
The head Of the family, man OF
woman. is to cast the votes. one fof
each member. including minors.
The fact that. in the csse Of .
family consisting Of father and
mother and minor chil1ren. the
father is to cast the votes for all Of
them disregards to some extent the
principle OF individual representa-
.tion which is the basis of our laws.
While the single adult woman 10 20
have the right to vote. the married
women will have the right only II the
husband Is dead. in which case she
casts the collective votes for her
minor children. II there are any.
Perhaps the real purpose Of the
bill Is to increase the birth rate.
The more children the more votes.

resentation OF orphans ana iilsgfti-
mate children might seen. to b m

but that may be bit OF camouflase

THE BUSINESS FIELD.

That price considerations have be-
come the dominant factor In the econ
omio situation. with q moro general
influence on business sentiment, the
events Of the week have dsmonstrat-
ed. While reaction from tho greatly
advanced prices have been long de-
layed and even now is conspicuously
absent in various quarters, the move
mont toward deflation has recently
made sucl. progress in some lines as
to leave no doubt ~ 70 it, meaning.
tho the probable duration and extent
Of the reaAjustment remains matter
OF uncertainty. The compelling rea.
sons for tho reversal Of conditions,
which 10 most sharply defined in re-
tail channels, have not been Of sud
den development but for some time
past have been manifested In con-
sumsry' increasing opposition 70 the
extrsms prices, in the accumulation
OF soms goods because OF the back
ward spring season, and IN the finan-
cial pressure that has resulted partly
from tho serious congestion In trans
portation, which 10 aggravated by the
harbor troubles at New York City.
Contributing causes have appeared in
the narrowing Of the disproportion
between merchandise exports and i'm
ports, with resales here OF some COM
modities previously taken for foreign
and the curtailment Of
manufacturing from strikes and other
drawbacks has operated to diminish
public purchasing power. With such
phases present, and with bank loans
less easy to negotiate and credits sub
ject to closer scrutiny, the policy Of
many buyers is moro than ever one
Of limiting commitments to immedi-
ate requirements, and Of deferring
future engagements ~ far AZ pos.
