DON'T WRITE TO HIM.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald
printed a letter from man who says
he is a country school teacher with a
salary OF $4,000 n year, 81 and
wants to meet with matrimonial in
tent some young lady of 90 to %, or
he adds. n widow of the right kind
might be all right. He's lonely and
wants slove. The Telegraph Herald
informs the marriageable maid and
widow that 1t will assist to meet
Ing with this lovelorn person.
The thing is hshy on the face of it.
The salary and the Job are first aids
TO suspicion. There amt no such
animal as a s2,4OO country school
teacher in Iowa. Granted that some
Of EN- are worth II all right they
aren't getting II. Why Jesse James
himself couldn't get s. 400 out Of a
country school board in Iowa and he
once took a gunny sack full of paper
money away from the Corydon bank.
But suppose 1t were true and he
getting II? What ablebodied, red
blooded woman wants man 81
years old and with big money in his
pocket WHO hasn't the pep and pur-
pose and push to go find somebody
10 love- What kind Of a husband
would that kind of human angle
worm make anyway. Who wants an
ossiaed man even with So 400 a year
which is Of course an item, quite an
ttem-if he is getting it and she
could cash his salary checks. But at
that money isn't everything. \ man
ought to be human if = real person
must live with him thru q long life.
Better a. dinner of dandelions greens
with real man than an omelet aux
fine herbes with a lonely mutt who
advertlses for that which he could
reach out and select for himself.
So don't write him. Something is
wrong. The mans either a fiend or
q fourfusher and there's no living
with either.

vlscount Grey's letter assuring
that Great Britain stands ready to
accept the covenant with the pro-
posed reservations fell like monkey
wrench into the cylinder Of tho presi-
Dental insistence that the covenant
must be ratified unreservedly and as
Woodrow Wilson commanded. While
II Is beiatcd. there In not the slight
est doubt that Great Britain was and
has been ready 70 accept the reserva-
lions and that che has RETAINED from
saying so until patience ceased 30 DO
a virtue and the necessity of settle
ment overcame the desire 70 avoid
embarrassing the president who
came TO Europe in the magnificence
OF a munihcent promissory arch
angel to re-desisn and re-create the
globe and the inhabitants thereof
Britain has been very patient tho
she long ago discovered that she had
been bejaped or had bejaped herself
so patient that she sent Grey across
TO make sure that there was no mis-
take.
Without doubt the bold stand OF
Bryan at the Jackson dinner has
tened this denouement. Mr.. Bryan
Is well known on the other side and
his opinions and proclamations carry
weight there. They know him as an
extraordinary man who has thrice
been the nominee of his party for the
presidency and as the Warwick
whose strength and Vaccinations are
responsible for wilson's entry into
the higher opportunities of diploma
cy. an opportunity lily used and
largely wasted. without any rea-
sonable doubt Mr.. Bryan and Mr.

real value by British diplomats and
leaders. Lord Greys letter is the
official confession of what has been
known in England and on the con-
tinent and has been eaid by the Brit
ish and continental press, Wilson is
failure"
The press reports read that the
White House has made no expires
sion as to Lord Grey's note. The ST
lcnce seems appropriate There is
little left for the White House to say.
The heart of the world still beats and
the iusistence that the allies would
repudiate the treaty with reserva-
tons has been repudiated and dis
missed with a stroke of Lord Greys
pen.
There should be no further delay in
completing an Americanized treaty
and submitting 1t for ratification to
the allied powers.

Does the record Of railroad men

MEREUITH THE ANSWER.

The modern bOlsheNlk OF pain

otto lecturers with the query as to
what this government has ever done
for the workers. The answer come
q few days ago in President wilson
selection Of Ed Meredith, of Iowa, for
a place in his cabinet.
About fifteen years ago Meredith
was a bright young man in Des
AIoines, fresh from an Iowa farm.
He was struggling without much
capital but with much determination
to get ahead in the world as pub
Usher of farm paper. He was not
ashamed to push mis- own hand-cart
to the postoffice with the product OF
his press and ne was not afraid to
borrow money to pay his postage,
| having faith in his country and in its
ability to reward honest effort when
efficiently directed.
Today, at the age Of ~ years, this
| poor struggling farmer boy sits at
the council table of the chief execu-
tive of his country as the chosen sec
rotary of agriculture, the department
Of the most essential industry in our
land. stx-hour days and fve-hour
weeks were unknown TO this lad. He
needed no labor union to protect him
IN his wage nor government owner
