LET'S DO SOMETHING PRACTICAL.


Every now and then some hunter
or association Of huntsInsn breaks
out with a plan to restoclk Iowa with
game and make the state . paradise
for hunters.
The different plans and schemes
are saved from the completely ridic-
ulous by tho earnestness. Of those
who put them forward. So far as
any reasonable possibility OF their
accomplishment is concerned they
might N well be plans for the res
toration Of the buffalo herds 20 the
Iowa prairies and the wild deer to
the Iowa valleys.
When will we learn that the OPP
portunity to take q gun and go afieid
in Iowa to bring back the bags of
game that were common forty years
ago has passed forever and ever by.
Il q, over and done with. It can new
er lie again. Why not forget it and
do something practical and that can
DO Toner
Let's take the license money and
do something with 1t, something that
can be done. Let's hatch fish, hatch
them in millions and billions and put
them into Iowa streams and lakes
and insist that the lakes are protect
ed from pollution sufficiently to pro-
vida living homes for hsh. II we
had started stocking lows waters
with fish when we begun the asinine
expenditure Of an effcrt to furnish
game birds for hunters Iowa would
DO q fisherman's paradise now.
SO much for. sport: but there is
something more than mere sport In
q well stocked stream. It Il . food
supply. And in these days when a
mess Of bullheads costs IS cents a
pound at the meat markets a few
pounds OF edible fish add another
satisfaction to that Of the sport of
catching them.
Breeding iish in Iowa streams is
possible and practical. Matching
pheasants and prairie chickens for
gunners sport In . country where
every field must bear its best under
careful cultivation 10 a. impossible
ard impractical ~ an attempt to
range cattle under the old time Iowa
herd law.

hand. Tho best way to arrive at q
decision Is to make two lists Of all
the arguments on ths matter to be
decided. One list with all favorable
arguments, the other list with all I'M
favorable arguments. The list which
has the most arguments Is the logicai
one to decide upon.
Both lists may contain exactly the
same number Of arguments, yet the
value of Importance Of one argument
on one side may outweigh all the
arguments for the other side.
Decision-now I'm talking about
the second kind Of decision-is an
act of will. If the will is not strong
enough. indlcision IL the result. I
have already discussed will power
and initiative, both Of which are
needed II you are to act in q decis-
I've manner.
Having arrived at a decision you
must exercise decision by acting
upon the result OF your logical rea-
soning. 1t becomes easy to do things
IL your reason and logic have proved
to you which is tho best thing to do.

We need gardens this season, need
them worse, If possible, than we did
In wartime. The more family rails
co the more 1t will have wherewith
to buy shoes and coal and clothing

listen to the ravings Of Palmer and
others who are going to stop profit

In Iowa we had the pledge Of Mr..
Barney that things would be vast
ly different after his motor got
warmed up but he stalled ON the
first hill and hasn't been dug out yet.
It's well enough to read and hope
that somebody is going to come along
and drive out high prices as st. Pat
rick drove snakes out Of Ireland with
q wave Of hand but you notice, as
the negroes say, that "going to isn't

It's dne to depend on a kind and
watchful providence, but you may
have observed that providence helps
those who help themselves; that
providence seems always to smile on
the man who plants his own potatoes

providence seems to stick around
where folks depend on themselves
and use providence ~ q side Issue;
that those who raise gardens have
garden sass; providence doesn't feed
folks with a spoon To get the best
results from providence-outside of

only n this so. but II the defendant
is accused of only trivial offense,
the jury which tries him must be
unanimous before a verdict OF guilty
can be rendered. In most states. I'M
animity is required even In civil
suits involving property or money
awards. no matter how small. A few
states have provided for verdicts by
three-fourths of the jury in civil
cases.
A law may be adopted by unani-
nous vote Of both houses OF congress,
or both branches of n state legisla-
ture, and be approved by the pres
ident or governor. A law may be
adopted by unanimous popular vote.
Yet. a law adopted In any OF these
methods. may be overthrown by the
vote OF one man, IL that one man
happens to hold judicial position

fact. every grade OF Judge regards II

When we get to the supreme court of

fees for tho judicial murder Of a

Isn't II a serious matter when the
will Of the people can be QUILTED
by the vote Of n single Judge? Should
any inferior Judge have power to veto
the act Of the law making body?
And as to appellate and supreme
courts, would II be too much to re-
quire unanimity. before a law can be
judicially murdered? We have seen
that In most of the states It still re-
quires Jury to be unanimous before
1t can give verdict for SIS. Is law
entitled to less consideration A Jury
must be unanimous to convict a per-
son Of some petty offense. Should
Judges be permitted 70 convict the

OF the court are so convinced thereof
as to unite In finding Of guilty?

No. f7-tlow to Arrive at a Decision.
I want you to think OF decision IN
two ways.
First as the act OF arriving At a
decision ana second as acting in q
decisive manner.
Let US .irst consider the way to ar
rive at decision.
"A decision is arrived at by two
methods-intuition and reason. An
intuitive decision is emotional-and
is more common with women. While
first Impressions and initiative de-
cisions are often correct, a logical
decision is without doubt best. even
tho the result Is the same.
II one has length OF experience
to draw upon, an intuitive decision
has value, for 1t has basis Of fact
behind It. An intuitive decision on
O. subjecr about which you are totally
ignorant will probably be faulty.
A logical decision is reached after
a careful weighing OF all arguments
for" or against" the matter In

Now that 1t is stated that 1t will

The Des Moines Register is still
in favor Of the league of nations but
of late it seems to have cancelled
Mr.. Wilson.
One serious difficulty is with the
ultimate consumer. He insists on
consuming more than ne produces.
When the ultimate consumer pro-
duces enough to make the trade even
the fact that he is primary pro-
Queer will Offset his condition as an
ultimate consumer.
The average mans conception Of
the apex of happiness Is to have
others work for him while he re-
mains beyond the necessity Of do
ing q hands turn unless he feels
like It. In reality that's what's
mostly tho matter with US at
present.

And now. the blame for the high

seem to have gained control Of the
situation. Many vii concede that
they do not understand the game
and will find 1t impossible to explain
how these fellows can manipulate
the price and put it "out OF sight"
But granting that these Wildcat
ters' are doing it ALL why does not
somebody get after these Wildcat
ters?" Congress has been making
laws for and against everything un-
der the sun. Probably there are some
OF these laws that are intended to
protect the consumer against these
terrible "Wiidcattex."
We have all sorts OF EXPENSIVE
very expensive bureaus and depart
ments. Among others, one which is
supposed to know the law, and to see
to 1t that justice prevails in this
country. 1t is wonder that no one
has called the attention of that de-
partment to these 'Wildcatters. and
that the orders have not gone forth
to protect the American people
against them.
Some people are wondering. ~
there is any such thing as wildcat

inals that have no existence in fact

college with brood of habits and
no serious intention of being useful.
Money came easy and it went easy.
The young man preferred to spend

H.AVNER IN THE RACE.
ISiouX City Journal.1

The addresses delivered by Attor-
ney General II. NJ. Havner in Sioux
City in the interests of his candidacy
for the republican nomination for
governor convince the neutral OBJ
server that those who have counted
him out of the running are reckoning
without their host. He will have the
most hitter opposition Of any candi-
date because OF his stand in favor of
enforced industrial arbitration and
the establishment OF an Industrial
court and his hostility to the princi-
pie or the strike as a method of en-
forcing labor demands. But at the
same time he will have a counteroal-
,ancins' support that will offset this
opposition in part. II not entirely.
1t will be found that the farmers of
the state. as well as those of other
states. are weary Of irresponsible
strikes In the industrial world. The
outlaw yardmen's strike caused them
to lose thousands of dollars on live
stock shipped and ready to be ship
ped. Their impotence has grown
into a.. determination to use their
power to break the outlaw princi-
pies. In spite of the good intention
ed warnings offered to organized la
Dor that the adoption Of radical
methods and the following of radical
leaders would stir up hostility
which would not discriminate be-
tween radicalism and conservatism
nor divide the responsible laborer
from the irresponsible one. the con-
servarives have remained silent until
the outlaw strike, and it is question
able IL It Is not too late to induce tho
public, especially the farmers. to dis
criminate between them in their
choice Of candidates. If this prem
Use is fairly sound, Mr.. Havner. will
draw that support as well as that OF
business men who think along the
same lines.

THE JAPs IN CALIFORNIA.

1t has not been easy for northern
people to understand the race prob
lem in the south. It IL even harder
for the middle west and east to I'M
derstand the Japanese problem in
California. We resent the action Of
Califprnians as complaining our re-
latiors with Japan and leading posi-
bly, to war with that country. The
actual conditions there do not affect
us a. they do the people who are
directly involved.
It IL 4 very pressing and present
problem however in many districts
in California where white fruit grow
ers sec themselves displaced and
ruined by Jap competition. 1t is idle
to assume that those who can not
Withstand such competition must be
obliterated. Competition between
workers and truck farmers who live
as Americans and those who live as
Japanese - not desirable competi-
ton. It ends with the utter destruc-
ton OF American communities and
establishment OF Jap colonies, each
Of which is little Japan in America.

bitterly opposed to peaceful pene-
tratton" by Japanese. Is offered be-
low a. illustrative Of ono phase Of
the situation in California and ex-
planatory OF the feeling that exists
there between Americans and Japs:

problem: The destruction of home
and family life and the wiping out Of

They secured a few farms in the
