News of the iron trade which re-
ials for all kinds of things which are
manufactured from iron or steel is
to the effect that manufacturers no
longer buy very far ahead of their
immediate needs. This means that
things are likely to ease off in the
iron market early next spring.

When burglar cracks n farm safe

way to guard against such dangers is
to have your bonds registered and

We will have to admit that it is a
republican attorney general who is

1t now appears that Candidate Cox
does not know that the republicans
are raising Sl5,0Oo.000 campaign

it because William Barnes, Of the Al

campaign book. The book is not
authorized by the republican cam

the evasion is for the purpose OF

Candidate Cox t'elives evidently
that It pays to advertise. So he drove
q trotttng horse about the track at
the Minnesota state fair.
It does pay to advertise but there
Is nothing that requires more care
and caution if it is to be successful
than advertising. First you must
have something that the people need
and desire to adver tise. Then it is
scarcely consistent with the dignity
OF the presidential office to adver-
tise 1t by the methods an Uncle Tom
show finds attractive. In short one
wouldn't use Marks and have Legree
lead the hounds, to announce a leo
ture by Samuel Parxes Cadman.
Mr. Cox seems to lave fallen down
on one opportunity. He might have
waited and walked in the final pa
rade of winners before the grand
stand when the fair drew to its end.
There will be no place for him in the
=
parade that follows the election.
OF course Mr.. Cox and his mana
gers are within their rights when Mr.
Cox parades around the track on
low wheel sulky before fair crowd.
But there is something that jars =
little on an American public when
q candidate for the presidency pa
rades in such fashion before a big
crowd as a campaign stunt.
It is all riglHf for men to love
speedy horses and drive them with
delight. It's an Item In. cox's favor
that he likes good horse. Most men
and most women do.
However imagine Abraham Lin
coin or Major Mckinley seizing an
opportunity to display themselves as
candidates for the presidency in such
manner-if imagination can be
stretched to that limit.

the strongest political machine Iowa
has ever known and to go down to
defeat with clear conscience"
Does anybody claim now that the
republican party has gained by the
victory achieved by the Harding
machine on that April morning !?
Does anyone believe that it was even
good politics for the senatorial lobby
to go home that April morning throw
ing their hats in the air? Does any
body think the party has gained In
the present campaign by the pussy ;
footing of the Holdoegel committee
and its failure to report? Does any
one claim it was good politics to leave
the Harding machine In full control
over on the hill?
Nor are the democrats in any better
position, for under the leadership Of
the democratic whip. Douglas Rogers
of Carroll every democrat present hut
one (Messer OF Johnson) voted to sus-
tain the Harding machine. The
democrats so voting were: CARRIER OF
Floyd, Holloway, eKllog, krouse, Mil
Ter OF DUBUQUE. Nebiker. O'Donnell.
Powers, Rogers, Sutherland, Wallace
and Young.
Everybody can see now that II
Harding had been impeached, as he
richly deserved. and as the record
many times warranted. none of tho
scandals we are now In would have
come. The republicans might have
lost some state offices, but even that
is not so sure, but today the party
would stand out clear and strong,
with the credit of having cleaned its
own housey
When are we going to learn that
in politics. as in everything else the
time to deal with a situation is when
the situation arises, that we only
make matters worse by, lodging, by
delaying, and by Judging?

why NOT AN INVESTIGATION?

The loose accusations Of Cox re-
gardlng a mythical Is million cam
paign fund brought a senate COM
mittee together to investigate the
truth OF the charge and inquire into
the matter of national campaign
funds and the misuse of money if
such misuse exists or is contem-
plated.
We. have had proof of the misuse
OF official position by Iowa officials
and OF the misuse Of money paid to
and otherwise secured by those in
trusted with the business and the
good name of the state Why should
that condition fail of inquiry by a
legislative committee?
Legislative committees are not al
ways efficient Investigators as wit
ness the investigation of the Rath-
bun pardon and its result. However
q senate committee of investigation
OF the present nasty mess in this
state would probably use its best
efforts to get at, facts and act upon
them afterward pretty thoroughly
under the eye OF the people of the
state.
II a committee Of the senate OF
the y. S. finds it advisable to make
inquiry into such loose charges as
those of Cox lit does appear that il
there is any way provided whereby
such an investigation may be begun
the situation in Iowa backed by such
Facts as have so far been brought
out should gain the immediate at
tention and lead to thorough inquiry.

THE VOTES OF THE u. s. A.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,

We have been asked to recall the
speech which Franklin D. Roosevelt
made at Butte, Montana and wheth-
er it was correctly reported and in I
terpreted. Yes, he made it on the 10Th
of August. The Asspciated Press,
which is exact, and the correctness
OF whose report has not been ques-
toned, reported the offensive part of
that speech as follows:
AS a matter of fact the United
States has about twelve votes in the
assembly COT the league Of nations).

something to do with the running of

self, and If do say it, I think it is
pretty good constitution Haiti and
San Domingo, Panama, Cuba and
Central America, who have at least
twelve votes in the league assembly,
all regard Uncle Sam as a guardian
and big brother, and this country
practically will have their votes in
the league
The speaker was trying to answer
the taunt that Great Britain would
have six votes in the league, while
Fthe United States would have but
one. To offset that condition. Mr..
Roosevelt claimed that the United
States would control the votes of the
twelve little republics around the
southern sea.
But the little republics did not rel
ish 1t. They say they Joined the

WHEN IS A JAIL NOT 4 JAlL7

When is door net door? When
It is ajar."
This was one OF the oId-time
conundrums in Joe Miller's joke
book. Today if Thomas @. Sea-
brooke were enjoying; Joe Miller's
jokes in stage exile, he might better
ask: When is jail not jail?'
When Jack Johnson is in it" would
be the answer. for Jack Johnson,
erstwhile colored heavyweight cham
pion pug, is now doing a year in
Kane county, Illinois, for violating
the Mann act. II
According to news reports the col
ored bruiser is having a much better
time In jail than he has, had in Mexi-
Ca fugitive from justice. Not only
is johnson allowed to do as he
pleases, including training quarters
In jail, automobile rides, and the
company Of his white wife, but he is
served with meals from the best cafe
that Geneva affords.
The question arises, why all these
special privileges for pugilist? II
Jack" Johnson deserves a Jail SEN
tence, why is he not treated as any
other prisoner? Why discriminate
between the pug in the ring and the
pug OF the street who uses "gat"
instead Of his fist and bruises CLAN
destinely instead of in the open?
johnson in Jail is being fed on the
fat of the land and has all the COM
forts of a home. The pandering to a
pugilist places premium on white
slavery or any other crime "Jack"
Johnson, prisoner, is no better than
any other prisoner, ana maybe not so
good. He should have he same treat
ment as all the. others, even tho once
he was an idolized ring hero of a
certain few.

them to be more lenient to wrong

they conscientiously stifle impulses
