IT Is A DOMESTIC ROW.
English statesmen are frank

English statesmen are frank to adj
nit that when the United States
senate sympathizes with an Irish re-
bellion the people of England will
not like IL any more than did the
people OF the north enjoy the SYM
pathy and aid accorded the seces-
sionists of the south by people in
England when the war TO preserve
our union was on. 1t can be WILDLY
recalled that the southern confed-
eracy received much announcement
in England at that time but the in
dignation which such action aroused
among loyal unionists should suggest
that perhaps we have as little right
to NEEDLE in English domestic affairs
now.
When the world war started and
the people of the United States be-
lieved that the war was to be con-
fined to a controversy between gov
ernments of Europe our president be-
came popular because he counseled
neutrality and kept us out of the
war. Then separate and distinct gov
ernments were at war. The Irish
republic demand is for a secession
from union with England in the
British empire and is case of seces-
sion in which we have little business
to NEEDLE whether the Irish have
good cause for independence or not.
In a purely domestic row we had
better keep out. If we have not the
willingness TO send armies and navies
to prevent the unspeakable Turk from
killing and numbering Christian Ar
menians by the hundreds of thou
sands we have little business re-
solving in the senate as to whether
the union of Ireland and England
should be dissolved or not The case
of Mexico is so much nearer at hand
let's settle that first.

OUR DEBACLE OF LUXURY.

The campaign TO induce people to
buy the cheaper cuts Of meat has
failed in Cedar Rapids. Everybody
wants the best. Demand for automo-
biles has SO used UP the available
supplies Of steel that a silo factory
at Council Bluffs and q furnace fac
tory at Marshallt own have great DIFF
ficulty obtaining steel for their as
sential goods. The grade Of canned
fruit that once sold for 20 cents 10
no longer in demand at all At 20
cents because the people who once
were cen.en. with cheaper grades
now all demand the best even at IS
cents. Common laborers in the stock
yards at Chicago are on strike even
tho their wages have been from 500
to $50 per month. City fremen in
Chicago have voted to strike until
their wages are boosted from $1,000
per annum to s2,100 as demanded.
We're all millionaires In our own es-
timation and nobody has to work.
No man with any business expert
ence believes that the country can
stand such universal foolishness for
very many months without some
thing happens that will make men
glad to even got g chance to work
According to the comparative cost
Of living wage Of $500 todayTis
equal to a wage Of $1,000 before the
war and most OF those who arc quick
to strike today were earning lass

more service then for the smaller
wage.

Each Of these three parts of your
many other parts.
For instance, your physical part Is
made up Of the physical character
istics, A good digestion, well de-
veloped lungs, nervous and muscular
energy. well-cared for teeth, clear
eyes, feet free from corns, strong
heart and such like. Your physical
part is the sum total of all such
things as ! have mentioned.
Your mental past is the sum total
of such qualities as general education,
experience. reasoning power faculty
of deduction. observation and similar
qualities.
The moral part of you represents
the combination OF such traits of
character as sympathy. loyalty, sin
'cerity, optimism, love, cheerfulness
and such like.
The more nearly equal you develop
these three parts of your character
the farther you will travel along the
road to success.
II you develop one side of your
character to the detriment Of the
other two sides you become lop-sided.
The all-round man will go farther
than the lop- sided man.

MAN BUILDING.

Your program depends on you.
Don't fool yourself on that score. The
help OF friends. pull" good Job. a
considerate boss. a loyal family. are
helps to success. but OF themselves
they are little avail In making you
successful.
These things are tools which you
must Use wisely. A man may have
a complete and expensive kit of car
penter's tools, but IL he does not use
them they help, him not at all.
So, therefore. let US agree that your
success depends fundamentally on
what you think, what you feel and
what you do.
You must think constructively.
That is the mental part OF your make
up.
You must feel honorably. That is
the emotional or spiritual part of
your makeup.
You must do energetically. That Is
the physical part of your makeup.
Your success depends on the devel-
opment Of all these three factors
which make up you.
Some men think, but they do not
do. They are theorists who never
make their ideas materialiZe.
Some men do, but do not think.
They are all the time in hot water,
for their tfoughtless acts are de-
structive In their quality.
Some men do and think, but If they
lack the moral or the spiritual quail
ties they become tricksters. crooks or
criminals, depending on how little of
the moral quality they use.
So, first of all. we will agree that
you must develop all three parts of

Industrial disorder II going to make

When prosperity busts or even
slows down these workers who are
now demanding the most will be the
first to lose their jobs. The time
will come again in this country when
men viii have to seek their employ
ment. They can strike now because
there are more Jobs than men. 9th
ers with capital to invest in enter
prises that create Jobs are hoping
for the return OF times when men
will have to work. Once they all be-
gin to walt for that time to arrive
will suddenly come. When the pup
lie begins to think the boom in town
lots is over the boom busts and ev-
erybody wants to sell. II will be a
good thing for this cocntry when all
men have to work. We will all work
more, strike less. produce more, buy
less, save more, waste less, live bet
ter even tho prices are less.

defects are embraced in that legis-
lation or that Senator Cummins
would spare any pains or neglect
any duty to make 1t the best meas
vre possible Of attainment under the
circumstances.
The state needs Senator Cummins.
The nation needs him. The common
people need him and 1t Is unlikely
that he will fail Of an endorsement
this year. OF course there will be
opposition on account OF his attitude
on the peace-leaguc treaty, but that
win probably bring him as many
votes as 1t eliminates.

THE VOTERS SHOULD KEEP CASES.

The state of Iowa is a fair field 10
all legitimate candidates seeking the
Endorsement Of the state at the re-
publican convention. The fact that
the republicans Of the state seem 10
have centered on Mr.. Lowden as
their first choice In the convention
does not bar other candidates from
wide open chance to secure sucn
delegates as they may thru legiti-
mate means. General Wood. MI
johnson and Mr.. Hoover now that
he has become an open candidate ana
has finally made choice of bandwas-
ons are properly to seek the approval
OF Iowa republicans.
Lowden without any reasonable
doubt is far and away the choice or
republican masses in Iowa. The Sec
ond choice seems to be Wood as GER
tainly as Lowden is first choice. Mr..
johnson has friends and is likely to
have delegates. And with Ex-GoV-
ernor Clarke as chief herdsmah
Hoover clubs are preparing to round
up the mavericks and brand them
with a Big H.
There is no occasion for outcry be-
cause one and another and all repuo-
lican candidates seek delegates IN
Iowa. There is no good reason why
Lowden should not place his candi-
dacy before the republicans of New
England. Wood before those Of Iowa
and Illinois and Johnson, Poindexter
and all other candidates for a re-
publican nomination should not ask
support OF republicans anywhere and
everywhere that republicans hold
primaries and conventions.
But there is great necessity that
the republican voters should inform
themselves upon the relative merits
of the mon who seek their support
and demand to know precisely where
those men stand as to the policies TO
be pursued for the next four years.
Iowa is for Lowden because he has
shown a large capacity for dealing
with political problems in business
way. His record as governor Of IL
linois and the clear, business fashion
in which he conducted the admins
tration Of the affairs Of that state
are his recommendation to the vot-
ers of Iowa and all voters who seek
such administration of national af-
fairs. General Woods appeal to the
Iowa voter lies mostly in his record
as a clean. sensible administrator in
Cuba, his courage in taking hold OF
problems that cautious politicians
seek to avoid and his sense of duty
10 his lob. That Is the reason those
men seem to lead in Iowa for the
nomination.
However, there Is no good reason
or any occasion to attempt to deny
any and all republican candidates an
open season on delegates in Iowa.
But there is serious occasion and ex-
cellent reason why the voter should
cast his vote with full sense of his
responsibility and why this same
voter should see to it that the dele
gates from his precinct and county
and state represent to a certainty
the majority desire Of the republican
voters and not the smooth work oe
politicians.

PICKING A CANDIDATE.

There are one or two fellows try
ing for the republican nomination for
president that this paper does not
want to see nominated. One of them
Is Hiram Johnson, ae he like his ma
tive state is too narrow. another is
Hoover, who has tried to take In too
much territory, and there are a few
more that we are not real anxious
to see nominated. One is Borah. as
he is almost as bullheaded as the
president we now have. Another we
might mention is Poindexter as he
has such a hard name to handle
Lowden or Wood would do, with a
preference for Lowden.

covery. 1t did not even reprint the

Is somewhat universal, or at least
overwhelming.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Davenport Times notes that
The newspapers turnout the state
have not given Brookhart's announce
ment much weight. There doesn't
appear to be any disposition so far
at least, 10 get into his camp. There
is a conviction abroad in the state
if newspaper comment so far is any
indication. that Senator Cummins
should be retained in the senate by
Iowa because OF his experience, his
influence and his long public service
in Iowa"
$50 far as we know Mr.. Brookhart
is a very estimable gentleman. but he
announces that he is opposing Cum
minis because of the latter's attitude
on the railroad bill. This being the
case. We shall do everything in orr
power to help nominate Cummins.'
announces the Manson Journal.
The Knoxville Journal is of the
opinion that the contest is between
Kendall and Deems with the former
in the lead at the present time"
Smith Brookhart says he will con-
test with Senator Cummins for the
senatorship now held by the latter.
The right of Brookhart to try for the
place Is unquestiOned, but the facts
in the situation are that we now
have too many men of his unbalanced
class, in the senate now declares the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
The Webster City Freeman-J Journal
says Mr.. Porter Is a standing can
didate for something year in and year
out. He doesn't care particularly
what job he gets but he is sure he
wants some kind of a political berth.
Well, Mr. Porter Is a pretty good
man, II he has an incurable itch for
office, and the democrats of Iowa
could do worse than to nominate him
for senator against Cummins. He
is a good campaigner and would
come as near winning as any demo-
crat can this year who has got to
carry the weight of the national ad-
ministration."
