.nTREAT EN- ROUGH"

The cause of the wave of crime that is pass
ing over this country just now may be explain
ed on several grounds, any one or all OF Wnlch
NAV be correct. It is useless to argue this
cause of an effect or deplore the effect OF the
cause or causes while the representatives OF law
and order show laxness in enforcing statutes de-
signed to put a stop to criminality by placing
the criminals behind the bars Of penal lnstltu-
tons The chief offender in leniency towards
the criminal population is the federal depart
ment of justice which because of its easy gong
way in handling the cases of the desperates
and undesirables has set bad example Tor state
and county prosecutors to follow. Stringent
adherence to the letter of the criminal code and
sure and swift punishment OF vlolators OF Jaw
would do more to purge communities OF hold-up
men, bomb-throwers, murderers and thieves
than all the action and campaigning OF all the
reforming uplift and welfare associations that
have for SO long been coddling men who are
dangerous when they are permitted to be at
large.

men and women, for as women are
now legaIized voters it applies to them
as well as to men) to the perusal Of
Congressman Kennedy's letter given
on the first page of the Republican this
week. Mr.. Kennedy emphasizes the
Importance of the election of republi-

SO in Importance as the election of a
republican president. And he is
right And he is right too in his
strong endorsement of the republican
nominee, w. F. Kopp. The first dis
trict of Iowa has sent some mighty
good men to congress, men who hon
ored their constituents as well as
themselves, but we believe (and his
future service will prove it) that no
better qualified candidate or better all
round citizen has ever been sent as

they will. One reason for this IS that people u
sense have come to realize that truth IS 50 W
graspably big that they have only nttle rae
ton of it and not enough to get puifed up oVei

might not be expected. This is COM
forting to the consumer, but the Iowa
meat producer would like to know
why the price of hams and beef
seaks has continued as high or higher
than it was when the farmer was get

farm goes down, meat at the market
continues to go up. It's very puzzling.
Davenport Times: Governor Cox
succeeded for a short time in kicking
Iup a dust cloud about campaign ex
'penses for the purpose of diverting
attention from the real issues OF the
campaign, but now that the charges
he made have blown away, and there
lis nothing substantial about them, he
must again face and discuss the cam

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
The attorney general interprets the
law to the effect that women will
not be obliged to make full confess
sion or the exact number of winters
and summers which have passed
since they came to bless and glorify
the etarth by their presence. All
they have to say or swear is that
they are over q. That gets them the
freedom of the voting booth. 1t is a
courteous and kindly Interpretation
and does credit to Mr.. HaVner's gal
lantry.
Davenport Times: Governor Cox,
democratic nominee, thinks that VIII
Hays, republican chairman, ought TO
resign. What MI Hays thinks about
Governor Cox might not look well in
print. .-...
Cedar Rapids Republican: Our adj
vice to Chairman Hays is to go aheao
with his campaign work, including
getting all the money necessary TO
make the campaign-and also, and
this principally, ITO encourage Mr..
Cox to continue doing as he has
been doing. There is nothing like
letting a man show what he Is, sand
Mr.. Cox is surely doing that.
Webster City Freeman-Journal: Al
though there is plenty Of room on
the Cox bandwagon, Mr.. Bryan
doesn't appear to want to ride. the
sly old fox knows the real differ
ence between political bandwagon
and a political hearse. He has had
much experience with both.

THE AMERICAN PRUNE.

Long years ago an immigrant from Europe
was received into our midst and given hearty
welcome: the prune came along with the people
of Europe to find home with US. In original
condition as plum the prune throve nightly
in California and in certain other areas IN the
land and the drying and sugaring OF the right
sort of plums-not all plums can be made into
prunes-became an industry of ours. Now we
are sending back to Europe from which we took
the plum and prune, huge quantities OF the lat
ter commodity. We exported in 1919 five times
as many prunes as in 1918; our prune export is
now way beyond pre-war records, and is more
than the whole world export from other sources.
This is rapidly becoming great American IN
dustrv and in dozen new markets people are
trying the American prune and finding 1t good
We have at times rather made fun Of the
prune even while we continued to eat it, just as
we make fun of good many American instltu-
tons we really know to be good, but get a sur
felt Of Now it may be that one OF the best ways
to Americanize strangers to things American,
both here and abroad, is to just let them test
the institutions themselves without so much eX-
planning, apologzing and propagandlng about
them Our prunes went the world around be-
cause people were glad to get most anything
edible. Now they are called for because people
find them better to eat than much else they might
get. 1t is highly probable that lot Of earnest
folk, who think they are seeking for an ideal
democracy. would after sampling the old tried
and true sort we have always had here find it
Just what they want. The first thing is to get
them to sample it. Before starting quest for
a new ORDER try out the old. A lot of people are
eating prunes with a relish who used to regard
them scornfully. Perhaps if our people will try
using the means they have to run their govern
'ment, they would find that they can do this with
out searching for new means and destroying the
old.
