EXPECT EARLY PASSAGE.

The magnates of the Southern
league are all in hearty accord with
the proposition, and attorneys FOR
the clubs are already busy lining up
their representatives and senators
looking toward the introduction OF
the badly needed law.
1t Is believed that the law
makers of every state where the
Southern league operates will not
hesitate to unanimously adopt
such a law, for it Is realized by
every follower of the national
game that Gust such drastic ac- ~
ton will be necessary to keep the
sport on the high plane 1t has
always enjoyed, and to retain the
confidence of millions Of fans all
over the country.

That national legislation will be
passed in the near future making II

men generally, for the country has
been aroused to the fast growing
evil as never before and fans every
where are determined to nip this ne

GRoNAUER's LINEUP.

Coach Gronauer's lineup will be
the same as he has used in other
games this season. He will start the
game with the following battle
formation:
Coles, left end; Plesofsky, left
tackle; VenZa, left guard; Burke,
center; Cinderbrand, right guard;
Graham, right tackle: Bugg, right
end; Gronauer, quarterback and cap
tain; Carman, left half: Riley, right
half; Gardner, fullback.
The officials have not been chosen
as yet, but will be named late Fri
day afternoon.
The lineup of the ALL Stars has not
been definitely decided upon as yet
owing to the fact that there Is so
much good material on hand that IL
is proving a difficult matter for
Frank Hays to choose his regulars.
II is more than likely that Hays
will have a flock of substitutes on
the sidelines consisting of former
stars, and that he will 10, able to

WILL BE A FIGHT,

This game is causing more than
the usual amount of interest. There
Is a little hard feeling between Frank
Hays and Joe Gronauer's team. Capt.
Gronauer feels like G.. B. G. and G..

playing his Dents this year and
Gronauer says that as long as he

better.

THE GOVERNMENT SITUATION.

While the political pot merely sim
mers lot Of busy work Is going on
by candidates for the governorship.
These aspirants for gubernatorial
honors are quietly but not less busily
interviewing the hoi poIloi and max
ing speeches here and there. Just
how the race is going is not particu!
larry evident as yet, tho the indica-
tons are that Kendall is leading the
others. The canvass is being very
quietly conducted and without dis
play Of heat.
One cause for the apparent
quietude is that the voters have not
turned to very serious consideration.
Nobody is excited unless the candi-
dates may be carrying a higher tenn
perature than ordinary. The fact is
that the Iowa citizen seems hard to
excite unless upon income and ex-
cess taxes. When those are the sub
ject his temperature runs from 1O2
up.
It is a pretty good field for the
goyernorship. Any Of them Is far
better than the present incumbent
and whoever may be victorious the
state will not lose by comparison
with the recent past. Perhaps that
is another reason why we fail to en-
thuse and gather in groups on cor
ners and argue the excellencies Of
candidates.
The prospect seems to be that
Kendall will lead the others. that
Moore will run second and Havner
and Deems fight for place. But as
regards inside information there
doesn't seem to be much and the
dope may be upset on primary day.
The convention may nominate for
there Is more than a possibility that
none shall acquire the necessary IS
per cent to primary nomination.
Kendall would make an excellent
governor. He would be uncontrolled
by faction or interest. He Is OF
s uSrI ,.o toriai size in every way, Ivy
equipment, character, sincerity and
desire to serve.

KEEP THEM OUT.

General Wood said nothing new
but reiterated a warning when he in
sisted that immigrants 10 this coun-
try should be given a thorough in
spection.
This country needs workers. 1t has
come TO the point that the average
American does not consider the
grinding labor OF construction work
and the more lily paid forms of toll.
That kind of work is mostly done by
immigrants. The steel mills, railroad
construction gangs and section
workers, etc, are mostly made up OF
immigrants. II Is necessary work
and must be done by some one. The
immigrant is not only willing to do
1t but grateful for the opportunity.
II isn't the workers and toilers
that make the trouble in this coun-
try except as they are led and be-
fooled by a class Of immigrants who
toll not nor spin except TO weave
their webs about the honest and
ignorant toilers. That class Of i'm
migrant should be kept outside. We
have had a bitter experience here
and in Canada of the unwisdom OF
permitting all kinds and classes to
come in practically unquesttoned
GGa uriiFrestisated. 4 few We have
deported but deportation seems to
be a slow process complicated by
lack of laws fitted to the emergency.
Moreover if we keep them out we
shall not have to deport them.
We need set up no impossible
barrier against workers coming to
the =. S. TO do the work We Ameri-
cans object to doing with our own
hands and in the hope Of their own
betterment But we do require as
rigid protection against anarchists,
bolsheviks and that illS as against
the smuggling of a piece Of dress
goods or a can OF smoking tobacco.

Farm PAPER ON HOOVER.

If Wallaces Farmer speaks for
the farmers Of the country Mr..
Hoover is not popular with the agri-
cultural interests and Is not likely
to find many votes in the country
precincts. Referring to Mr.. Hoov-
ers attempt to show that he acted
fairly in fixing hog prices In the
fall of 1918 WaIlace's saws:
But in his answer Mr.. Hoover
tries to humbug congress Just as he
tried to humbug the farmers. If
Mr.. Hoover had lived UP to his
agreement the hog producers Of the
corn belt would have received $780,
100000 more for the hogs marketed
from oct. i. 1918, to March l, 1919.
than they actually did receive But
the thing that really hurt the farmer
was not the loss Of money, but the
deliberate effort to deceive him--to
play him for All ignoramus who
would not see how he was being
worked.

Senator Henderson, in which he as
serts: Finally, it can also be noted
that the average price OK hos. ffpf inc

HENRY HAs BeEN.

Henry Has-Bsen 10 one Of the pa
thetio actors upon the business
scene Of Life. Henry once made good
and for time held an important ex-
ecutive position.
Henry Is honest kindly natured. q
steady worker with some originality.
but he lacks the dynamic lighting
qualities which the progressive ex-
ecutive needs.
The biggest misfortune that ever

problems were solved for him by the

When, however. Henry was made
general manager he at once entered
the spotlight Of prominence and all
his actions and orders were exposed
to the ruthless criticism Of his for
mer fellow executives. He had to
assume n judicial viewpoint on the
numerous matters of dispute that
were presented to him. Unfortunate
~ he was swayed too easily by this
one and that one-and that tendency
to be guided by those whom ne should

business policy.

made good his promise. notwtth-
standing all Of the criticism which
had been made. What are the facts?
Mr.. Hoover did not control the
market during 1919. His control
ended about March 1, 1919. From
Oct. 1. 1918. to March 1. 1919, while
Mr.. Hoover was controlling the mar
ket. the average price OF hogs at Chi
cago was $17.64 per hundred. From
March I, 1919. to September, 1919.
when Mr.. Hoover had no control
over the market the average price
of hogs was Sls.s7 per hundred: and
yet Mr.. Hoover calmly claims credit
for these higher prices which fol-
lowed Immediately after his control
ceased.
Continuing the farm journal ex-
presses its analysis OF Mr. Hoover's
claim upon the presidential office
thus:
When he was 90 years of age. Mr..
Hoover left the United States, and
until 1914 spent his time in foreign
countries, promoting engineering and
mining enterprises of one sort or
another. He has been very success
full financially and understands the
methods OF big business. AS a pres
idential candidate, no doubt he
would be very satisfactory to the
large business, interests. The farm
ers of the country, however, have
already had enough experience with
him to know that he is not the man
they want in a position of power.

A NEW JOB IN THE OLD PLACE

I wish that every young man who
felt that he was in his wrong place
could have Listened in" on a con-
versation head between two en-
ployment managers.
Said Mr.. A. Il lost dandy chap
last week. He was in the cost de-

so he just got another job and left.
Fine chap. offered to stay until /
got another man for his place, but
had taken job with the Lomax
people in their traffic department.
Said he wanted to become a traffic
manager and that job offered him hi"
chance"

ment?"
To which Mr.. A. answered. Gould

someone to be an assistant 70 the

Job. but as he had already accepted
the Lomax place, he felt he had t.
$3.50. very reluctantly. l had tC
lose him"
Many young fellow has thrown
away splendid prospects because the
particular job he had was not agree
able to him. Instead OF asking his
present firm to transfer him to the
desired department, he looks out
side for his opportunity.
Remember this. il you have done
good work in one department in
which you are not actually interested
you will do better work in another
department in which you are inter
ested.
If you are allowed to go to the de-
sired work for your present employ
er you will be more valuable to him
than an outsider for you know the
organization and the rules of the
company and have a proved record

Topics of the Times

The boy Orator Of the Platte
has Just celebrated his 6oth birth
day. Suggestions that the silver
tongued" be Oslerized are now In
order.
Never mind. these cold March
DAYS will not last always. Far better
that we have March weather in
March than &c have Il in April or
Nav. You must remember that Iowa
has been known to have snowstorms
in May.
II there is any unusual social un-
rest noticeable in the grand old |.
s. A. at present. bear in mind that
this Is the beginning OF the season
OF spring housecleanins.
Mason City has shown the remark
able growth Of over IS per cent dur
ing the decennial period ending last
January. Good for Mason City. and
may other Iowa cities make as good
showines. A healthful increase in
Iowa cities provides a good reputa-
ton for the state at large when the
aggregate gain for Iowa is compiled.
Don't stop with congratulating
yourself that you have managed to
get thru March with the coal you
laid in last fall, but begin to plan on
next winters fuel as soon as your
bin is empty. A ton OF coal in the
cellar is worth two tons which may
be in transit or under process Of con-
fscation. Last winters experience
with the coal situation should prove
a valuable experience.
