specify where he stands on the
league of nations. 1t is an embar-
RAISING question both to the candi-

SIZZLING AND soo1I. reo,ne

From Mason City AMI it's environ
raids which ind evidence of moon
shining In stills and booze making
materials are rather common.
whether the frequency Of those cap
tures IL attributable Ia the ACTIVITY
OF officers or to the tendencies Of
the inhabitants is not entirely clear.
Tho latest Is the capture Of a stiu
and the goods on 8. farm near
Meservey. The report says that the
moonshfners had disposed OF a few
quarts at $40 per.
Forty dollars quart is a great
temptation to the ignorant and III
disposed. The promptness Of pun
ishnent ana the extent of the PEN
atty are antidotes for the tempta :
tion. There Is only one way to dis-
courage the born bootlegger and the
ignorant and Illegally inclined moon
sinner. He must be made afraid.
That Is about the only argument
that can be used effectively against
him,
The activity Of, the Mason city au-
tnorities Is to be greatly COM
msnded. The courts should back up
their efforts by INJECTING penalties
watch will not only stick In the
memories of the guilty but act as
deterrent to those Who find them
selves tempted to take fling with
q bag of raisins and a still.
The man or men who are willing
to pay dollar drink for such
horse liniment can not be consid :
cred sane. They also should be
subject to restraint. Those who will
pay $40 quart for such stun may
not be essentially vicious but they
are certainly wrong mentally and
might be better under restraint.
Lacking that, however, the Iowa
m.oonshiner should get a lesson that
will remain with him and get it from
the hrst Jump. There are also alto
esther too many bootleg importers
getting by for one and another
reasons, some of which are not en-
tirely plain to the public.

THE ELIMINATION OF SA1INGER

The defeat of Ben I. Salinger as
one of the three republican nominees
for members of the supreme bench OF
Iowa, sounds the death knell of poll

but a patient and unmindful public

The most conspicuous example of the

NATURALIZATION.

Some of the political gossips figure
that Nate Kendall will in time get
into the race for the senatorial posi-
ton now held by Kenyon. This is just
a piece of bunk. Kendall is one of the
fairest and finest men in the state.
Political planning and plotting are
subjects foreign to his nature. Ken
dali wants to serve as governor of
Iowa. After that he Will step back
into the ranks as he did when he
voluntarily retired from congress.
Circumstances might arise to call
him into service again, but Kendall

Thsy were as anxious to let go Of
their stocks as an average man Is to
let go of The hot end of a poker. They
are looking for lower prices and they
do not want to be the men who are
loaded up with goods. AS long as
they could unload them on the re-
tailers hey were willing to go on max
ing more but the moment those men
stopped buying they stopped manu-
featuring.
Can you blame them entirely and
is it necessary to accuse them Of
playing politics? What would you do
II you were in their places? Would
you continue to manufacture high
priced goods and pile them up tn
warehouses to be sold in the future
in uncertain markets. or would you

Judge Salirger sought to lower the
ethics and high standing of the Iowa
judiciary. 1t was purely a mercenary
motive with him. the retaining of his
own official robes. But the light of

delegates at the Cedar Rapids con-
Ventlon, and it was responsible for
the defeat of Ben l. Salinger.

WHY ARE THEY CLOSING DOWN?
GCedar Rapids Republican,
They have started the old alarm
that the manufacturers IRE shutting
down to Influence the elections. Mr..
Gompers seems to have scented that
evil. He gives warning accordingly.
He is unduly exercised about saving
his political party.
But are the political manufacturers
to blame for the coal strikes? Who is
laying them off, In those industries?
Are the manufacturers not anxious
to have the mines continue In opera
ton and how can they continue
when they are not Supplied with the
necessary coal? Are they to blame
also for the lawless railroad strikes
thru which we have passed?
The wooden mills are cited and the
shoe manufacturers. But they seem
to be more afraid of s,umps than
they are of anything else. The shoe
men were so scared that when the
retailers began to cancel their orders
'they took millions of dollars worth
of shoes and dumped them in the
markets and sold them at auction

AGAIN THE PRIVATE BANK. -

The failure of the City Bank Of
Jefferson, Iowa breaks the record
for Green county, this being the
first financial disaster since the coun-
ty was organized The suspension
was not due to speculation, extrav-
agance or dishonesty. 1t was one
of those c3ses where the inability to
say mo" spilled the beans. Paper
overdue and other paper of doubt
full quality precipitated the col
lapse. Had the bank been under
either state or national supervision
the failure would not have occurred.
The bank was a private Institution,
but very old and supposedly sound.
Had hank examiner called Ave or
SIX times a year, making certain
suggestions and charging off certain
paper, this affair would never have
developed. Thus the value of SUI

positors, but compels a bank to play
safe.
