IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Carroll Herald: Havner cannot get
far on the record made by his state
agents in that noted crap game at
Hawarden recently. He got them
into the game to gather evidence
against suspected violators of the
law, but he did not count on their
getting cleaned up by the local bunch
Hereafter the attorney general ought
TO select better crap players for his
corps.
Hampton Chronicle: The Des
MONIES Capital has announced that
it favors the nomination of Senator
Cummins to succeed himself. little
late in getting into the band wagon,
but it's all right, Late. No other can
.didates in sight now.
Algona Upper Des Moines-Republi-
can: If the senate don't do some
thing with that peace treaty, smash
it or accept it, there will be an issue
in the next political campaign that
will lose a lot of lawmakers their
jobs.
Cherokee Democrat: 1t is still
good idea for democrats to remember
that there are not enough OF them III
the United States to elect presi-
dent. A fact which makes careful
ness a necessity to success.
Charter Oak Times: Well, if Russia
wants to bolsheyik, what affair is that
of ours? We can do business with
Russia boIshevik as well as any way,
bat it will have to be on strictly
cash basis.
Waterloo Tines Tribune: Among
recommendations for president, Her.
bert Hoover has poor platform
presence, is not a public speaker and
has a high, piercing voice.
Knoxville Journal: There is no
question but that Governor Lowden
is popular In Iowa. Nevertheless,
the Journal is convinced that General
Leonard Wood is the man OF the
hour. To be sure the pacifsts don't
like him and the radicals don't like
him and it is said that the farmers
would 20 against him because he
favors preparedness and military
training. And yet he is the one can
didate for whom there is a nation
wide demand. His strength springs
from the people, not the politicians.

SECRETARY BAKER S LATEST FAD.

In recent speech in New York City, Secre-
tary of War Baker said: 4 believe there should
be some radical changes in the relations be-
tween the executive and the legislative branches
of our government / believe members OF the
cabinet should have seats In one or the other
house, and should be present to defend the
policies of their departments" We can thank
our lucky stars that Secretary Bakers origin
ALL idea hasn't been in practice during the past
seven years The senate has enough trouble as
il is Suppose they had to tolerate the presence
of Mr. Baker during the discussion of the peace
treaty or the conduct of the war? Or suppose
he had been seated in the house during the re
cent debate when the wholesale waste and ex-
travagance of his department was being laid
bare? No; any self-respecting and efficient
cabinet officer has no time to be bothered with
going to congress. If he does his work as 1T
should be done he will find that every minute OF
the day is needed at his departmental desk.
IF Mr.. Baker as in favor of making radical
changes between the executive and legislative
branches of the government he has man $
sized Job on his hands, namely, to bring about
the miracle of the present chief executive con-
ferring with and treating congress WITH the re
spect which it demands and deserves.

another as long as he does so within the law,

size the negative9 Besides no one Of sense
questions the right of any single man to do as he
pleases about working for another. 1t is organ
ization to stop industries that conditions the
very life of the people that is the question under
debate, and Secretary Wilson knows it.

which the trip west. Immediately
after the Fourth of July, had killed
their hopes.
All the critics. in commenting on
the clubs chances, dwelt on the
fact that the success or failure OF
the trip about to be made through
the west would in Il large manner
determine their chances. That west
ern trip had gotten on the players
nerves They had a decided fear Of
it before the start.
What happened is now a matter of
history. Cleveland beat Shawkey
after his ten straight wins and
started him on a losing streak. The
Cleveland pitchers also stopped
Peckinpaugh at the bat. Those two
things just about enabled Cleveland
to take three out of four. That madt
the players believe the inevitable
was to happen. The club next came
TO Detroit The Tigers took four
out OF five games.
Losing seven out of the first nine
games naturally had most depreSS-
ing effect on the club. 1t was un-
able to shake it off. The disastrous
trip that was feared became ii real
ity The club never recovered. the
old western trip had again killed
them off. The club had actually
beaten itself before the trip ever
