w. F. koPP FOR CONGRESS.

Burlington Hawk-Eye:. The repub-
licans of the first Iowa congressional
district have made Hon w F. Kopp
/! of Henry county their nominee for
representative in congress. 1t is a
wise selection and will have the
hearty support of the republicans of
the district, and of many independ-
Ient voters. The old first district has
long maintained able representatives
at Washington and there is to be no
lowering this year of the standard
of personal character and efficiency.
This is said without disparagement Of
other aspirants for the honor to whom
the Hawk-Eye would have given the
same support it now gives to Mr..
Kopp. The responsibility Of select
ing the candidate rested entirely with
the republican electors of the district
and this paper strove to treat all with
entire impartiality. The verdict of
the voters has been rendered and
every true republican will Loyalty ac-
Quiesce in the decision.
This is a great republican year. cul
minating next November in a magnf
ficent triumph at the polls. This is
not yain-glorious boasting; it is the
widespread belief of republicans, and
of many other voters throughout the
nation Candid democrats frankly
admit they are not very hopeful of
the election of the men to be nomi
mated by the San Francisco conven-
ton. Iowa will contribute solid
delegation to the house and reelect
Mr. Cummins to the senate. 1t will
poll an old-fashioned Iowa majority
for the nominees of the Chicago con-
vention and for the republican state
ticket. The tidal wave will carry
nearly all Of the SO counties In the
state.
1t will be the pride as It will be the
duty of the first district to be first
in fact as we'll as in name: first
in polling the full party strength and
thereby becoming first in potential in
fiuence in state and national affairs.

EDUCATIONAL EFFICIENCY.

Addressing the graduates, Professor Moran,
of Purdue university, combatted the theory that
study courses should be made easy and smooth.
For educational efficiency fixed price must be
paid in patient work The schools Of Indiana,
which he has closely observed, have sensibly
deteriorated in twenty years, and largely be-
cause the students go browsing through dilut-
ed curriculum acquiring little mental discipline
and capacity to work. The old-time school
teacher did some things better than they are
done today, for he did teach a few things splen-
didly well. t..'..
The trouble generally speaking with this
age is that it wants things education, afflu-
ence, success in life-at less than cost; wants to
acquire them by finesse, by strategy, by mother
wit. This is not unnatural, and some men seem
to stumble on unearned success. But it is ques-
tionable if they do, and in any event the system
we find in operation offers little to anyone who
does not by work, forcefulness, persistence or
some other quality command the success achiev-
ed.

The War on the Carnival.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The war on
the street carnival has begun again,
and it is being waged more vigorously
this year than in the past. 1t is en-
tirely war Of self-defense. No city
attempts to dictate to another, or even
to make suggestion. But some
cities in this neighborhood, such as
IGalesburg and Davenport, are protest
ing against the infection OF such
shows upon them. They object to
the foul smells, to the general disor-
der, the people that follow these
shows and to the shows themselves,
which are demoralizing and as usual
thing without a redeeming feature.
1t is strange that many cities have
submitted to such infections year after
year. 1t is gratifying to note that
there is a general tendency to have
no more of them.

and continues to declare that the people are in
majority back of them Evidently Mr.. Moore
wants drastic measures to prevent a recurrence
of this state of things. But it is improbable
that the concurrent circumstances which have
made Mr.. Wilson'S dictatorial powers so abso-
lutte will again occur. Such absolute master
ship will not readily be yielded again by either
party or both parties acting in concert. The
nation knows more about war powers than it
did; congress has had experience by which it's
successors will profit

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
EAST AND WEST.

EAST AND WEST.
Men look to the east for the dawning things,
For the light Of the rising sun;
But they look to the west, to the crimson west,
For view of the things that are done.
For the eastward is newborn hope
From the dark of the night distilled,
But the westward sun is the sunset sun,
The of hope fulfilled.
For there in the east they have always come
The cradle that gave the birth
To all the hopes of the hearts OF men,
To all the hopes of the earth.
For there in the east Christ arose,
And there in the east there cleaned
The dearest dream and the cleareSt dream
That prophet dreamed
But into the waking west they came
With the dream child of the east,
And they found the hope they had hoped OF old
A thouSandfold increased
For there in the east dreamed the dream
Of the things We hoped to do,
But here in the west, the crimson west,
The dreams of the east came true.

INNOVATIONS PROPOSED.

John Bassett Moore, former counsellor of the
state department., makes a startling proposal;
be would have the presidential term limited to
two years, permit cabinet officers to enter de-
bates in house and senate, and remove the i'm
ulunity of the president from questioning by
members when he appears before congress.
These are means, of course to break any at
tempt at autocratc control Of national affairs
by u president. Mr.. Moore says: 'The spectacle
OF the avowed head Of minority party for full
half Of his term making appointments to the
highest Offices of state, vetoing measures pass
ed by the actual representatives Of the people
and incidentally conducting the entire foreign
relation of the country, is anomaly in poll
tics furnished chiefly, if not exclusively, by the
united States
In 1918 despite his direct appeal to the voters
Of the nation, President Wilson's policies were
repudiated Yet he continues these policies

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Waverly Observation-Disclosures !:
o, no. Senator William S. Kenyon
didn't commit an objectionable sin
when he supported Hiram rohnson,
but we wish the junior senator's
voice had been heard for Senator A.
B. Cummins during the primary cam
paign.
Glidden Graphic: The legislature
should amend the primary .aw at
least to the extent OF eliminating
from the ballot the names Of all can
didates for state Offices below lieuten-
ant governor. 1t is shame the way
these men are blindly selected at the
present time. 1t would be much
simpler and answer the same pur-
pose if they got together and match
ed coins to see who is the lucky man.
Eagle Grove Eagle: The presiden-
tial primary is mistake worse than
la mistake, it is blunder. 1t creates
enmities that break the harmony SO
essential TO success in the following
election campaign. 1t is an intra-
party fight, and 1t is fight, fight
that has no good and much harm.
Iowa has kept sane on this, thanks to
our legislatures.
Algona Upper Des Moines-Republi-
can: Every time we have a primary
election it dawns upon the voter that
the old-time convention Is the best
way by which to select the best men
for Office.
Webster City Freeman Journal:
When it comes OF voting on strictly
moral questions the women will be
found on the right side nine times
out of ten. That is one reason tho
legalized saloon will never come
back" It was pest-hole OF corrup-
,tion and decentralization. Nothing
good ever came out OF 1t and 1t 1s
dead for all time.
Monticello Express: Mr.. Wilson
has during the past two years been
a serious handicap to his party. He
lis not candidate for a denomination
simply because he has been repudi-
|ated in the minds Of a large contin-
gent OF the democratic voters OF the
country. He would stay IN the game
did he have the fraction of fighting
chance. But he has no prospects II
his lead and dictum are followed the
party will be handicapped stir
farther.
Estherville Vindicator and Repu0-
hcaan: The last primary election
demonstrated beyond a doubt that no
poor man or even a man of moderate
means can aspire to any state Office
with any hopes of success. The ex-
pense connected with a state and dis
trict canvass makes it simply prohibit
tive. The primary law should be SO
amended that it will apply only 70
county offices. The good old caucus
and convention system is good enough
and win give the poor man a chance,

How He Loves Power!

Warsaw Bulletin: How Wilson
loves power! Despite the fact that
there were only three votes, all told,
cast against the measure In both
houses Of congress, the president
vetoed the resolution repeating APP
proximately sixty war time laws.
These laws lodged in the president
more power than is exercised by any
ruler in the old world and were
meant as emergency measures, to
meet the exigencies that suddenly
confronted the country when it en-
tered the conflict. The war is over,
but the president is reluctant TO be
sl1orn Of the authority IN peace which
fattered his vaulting ambition in war.

The Whole Secret Of

This you viii realize-once you
try Brunswick-that a super-tire
is possible only when the name
certifies that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly mat
ter Of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for "a years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are
matter Of expense. And these vari-
atoms affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
ents to hold one back.

SUGAR,

! Instead OF the sugar the American people
need, they have been given various other things
that are not good They have big talk OF
prosecutions and Investigations. They have
opinions of all sorts of people as to where the
blame for the shortage rests. They have end
less stocks of candy offered them at prices ten
times what that of sugar ought to be. They
have persistent rumors that sugar is locked up
for higher prices. They have evidence that big
concerns can and do get all the sugar they can
use. They have the prospect that the great
fruit canning establishments will do about all
the preserving thot is done, and that the house
wife will have to buy their goods next autumn
because she viii have none of her own. In fact,
| they have everything else but the sugar, and
this they cannot get. A news despatch from
New York City relates:
Thirty-four million pounds of will be
| available for commercial Gamers and preservers
during the five months from June to October 81.
A ". Riley, special assistant to Attorney General
| Palmer, announced here today. Assurances that
the sugar will be provided were given Riley saad'
by representatives of the leading re1ners
The rehners promised, he added, that the sup
ply would available at a reasonable price
The feeling is growing upon the people that
they are being played with, held up, exploited,
deceived. Right or wrong, this suspicion is
rooted in their minds and contributing to the
popular unrest The most disturbing feature
of the situation is the fact that there is in this
country now, and has been all along, sugar
enough in any quantity for anybody willing to
pay an excessive, outrageous. price.
Apropos of an embargo as a remedy for
present conditions, it may be noted that the
price of sugar in Argentina is kept well within
bounds by law that expectation of it shall
cease at any time when the retail price has gone
as high as eleven cents. This provision appears
to be keeping sugar within the reach Of the peo-
pie of that country.

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns-
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives SO much for your
money.

When Bdby's
Teeth Come
By Brice Belden, M. D.

TIME teeth usually begin to ap-
pear at the sixth month, and
the first set should be COM
plete by the end of the second year,
but in some quite healthy children
none appear till the tenth month.
Marked delay in the appearance
of the teeth is very often due to
ricketts,, a disease characterized by
deficiency OF the earthly salts in the
bones. Ricketts, occurs in improp-
erly fed babies.
As a rule there are six teeth at
twelve months, twelve teeth at
eighteen months, and the second
teeth begin to come in at six years.
Regarding the constitutional dis
turbances which are popularity asso-
ciated with teething, it may be said
that they have been much exag-
gerated. Teething is natural
process, and the disorders which
are frequently not related to 1t at
all, although seemingly so. Every
thing is blamed on the teething and
the real trouble not determined.
Gum.lancing is now practically
obsolete.
Nevertheless, II is a fact that
considerable disturbance of the
nervous system WIN 1TTltdbllliN
and Righteousness do sometimes
accompany the cutting of the milk
teeth. attended at times with sore
mouth, skin eruptions, and disorder
OF the digestive organs. Some
times there are catarrhal symptoms
in the respiratory organs. What
Is sometimes thought to be cold,
with eye and nasal signs, is really
an irritation OF the nerves supply
ing those regions, which nerves
have sympathetic relations with
the nerves OF the teeth.
It Is advisable that additions to
the dietary at this time should be
made with caution.
The permanent teeth appear at
about the age OF SIX, and the health
Is frequently impaired at this time,
yet the disturbance Is not always
associated with the teething. AS
this occurs at time when there
is a demand for increased food,
especially animal food, special at
tention IL called for. The troubles
occurred at this time have only re-
cent'v been taken seriously into
account.

spoons OF butter rubbed into one
and one-half tablespoons of -four
and cooked in one measuring cup OF
milk until the sauce boils. Add
one-half teaspoon OF salt. Pour
this sauce over the macaroni. Cover

People who live in large towns
that maintain rotisseries may fire.

trifiing sum. One large rotisserie
in the city of New York, where sew
eral hundred chickens are roasted
daily, sells most of the chicken
livers. These lvers, chopped and
added to a tomato or brown sauce,
give a much priced flavor to the
spaghetti.
SO many of our readers ask me
for a good sauce for spaghetti

some restaurant that makes

going to tell a secret. Many OF the
restaurants are using canned to-
