LowDEN ADHEREs TO PRINCIPLE

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: 1t is re-
freshing to see strict adherence
both to principle and personal utter
,ances, such as is exemplified in the
ideclination of Governor Lowden TO
accept denomination for governor OF
Illinois. He has stood constantly for
the one-term idea for executives.
When in congress he worked for a
cons titutional amendment limiting the
presidency to a single term. He
made no pledge of that character
when running for governor, but he
considers his endorsement of the
principle in his official acts In con-
gress sufficient pledge. Pledges do
not amount to much in politics oTdi-
narily, as witness the pledge Of the
Baltimore convention of it's candidate
in 1912 to the single presidential term
principle and the unanimous disre1
gard of the pledge by that candidate
and the next convention four years
later.
Briefly, Governor Lowden says that
a second term leads the executive to
shape his official acts towards the
end of his reelection rather than
towards the end of the public welfare.
A second term, he says, has come to
be considered necessity. as an On
dorsement of the administration Iof
the first term. The executive denSed
it feels that he has been repudiaS,d.
Therefore, he must have it whether
his administration has been good or
bad, and during the four years Of bis
incumbency this thought is upper
most in his mind. That it has not
been uppermost in the mind of Gov
ernor Lowden is shown by his refusal
of second nomination, which would
be equivalent to election. But the
people of Illinois will regret that his
attachment to this conviction pre-
vents them for honoring him with
another term. Governor Lowden has
made an extraordinarily successful
governor and he has merited the re-
spect while winning the affection of
his constituents.

THE QUESTION ANSWERED.

On May fourteenth. last, The Gate City, In
an editorial referring to the margin OF sugar
profits, queried, after stating that United States
district attorneys had been instructed to rigor-
ously enforce the ruling with respect to the mar
gin of profit and to prosecute firms and lndl-
viduals taking more than cent profit on
each pound of sugar sold, queried: docs the
ruling extend, or has it ever been extended, to
wholesalers and retailers doing business in
southeastern Iowa! Consumers are asking
this" The question appears to have been an
swered in the affirmative, if the recent activity
of the federal agents in this vicinity may be
taken as intention on their part to enter upon
a campaign to clear up some of the mysteries
that are attached to manipulation of the sugar
market.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Mount Vernon Record: The noni-
nation Of Harding and Coolidge By
the republican convention, with the
assurance that nothing short Of 2
world crisis will prevent their cleo
ton, means the end OF the bis
stick Perhaps 1t is as well. The
big stick" was Roosevelt creation.
Glidden Graphic: It doesn't look
very promising for the democratic
party this fall. No man whom they
might nominate can measure up to
the standard of Warren G. Harding.
The voters simply want republican
this fan, that's all.
Dubuque Telegraph Herald: There
are many vital issues to be consid-
cred, and the fact that the republican
party evaded practically all of them
strengthens the belief held by many
serious-minded persons that demo-
cratic failure this year is not so GER
tain as some of the more Outspoken
politicians would have one believe.
Waterloo Times-Tribune: If our
school teachers are able to save any
thing from their meager salaries,
they are expected to spend it at sum-
mer school-and if they haven't been
able to save, they are expected at
summer school anyway.

most Iowa people will hardly thank
him-he accomplished the defeat OF

Cedar Rapids Republican,: 1t turns
out that .Mr. Meredith took down his
presidential sign because he did not

That would be using his cabinet seat
against the administration from which
he received it. He does not want to
invite on himself the fate that befeli
one Robert Lansing, whose mind did
not run with the administration. Mr..
Meredith being from Iowa and hav-
ing herd of Jerseys, knows where
the butter for the bread comes from.
Montezuma Republican: The pub
licity expense of the several leading

tiaI honors was paid by the govern.
ment. 1t will be remembered how
hundreds of publications were issued
by the administration ostensibiS to
keep the public informed, but in re

advertising at government expense.

MOVING PICTURES,
Hippodrome.

William Farnum will bring his en-
gagement in "The Orphan" William
Fox production, to close tonight.
This is without doubt one of the most
thrilling pictures Mr.. Farnum has
made He is seen in the role of an
outlaw who, having committed crimes,
is falsely accused of many others. The
concluding scenes show the regenera-
tion of the outlaw through the love of
q girl whom he has rescued from the
Indians in a stage coach attack.
The development Of the plot is pune
tuated with incidents that send the
spectators blood galloping. On the
sentimental side the picture is
especially charming.
With more stunts in daring horse
manship Buck Jones, the new sensa-
tion of the screen, whose successful
screen debut a short time ago has
placed him high in the list of motion

PATRIOTISM OF PEACE.

Under stimulus of a great purpose, patriot
ism rose to an astonishing pitch two years ago
and sustained the hearts and hands of those
whose duty it was to carry the affairs of this
nation to their destined conclusion. Good citi
zens not only approved the deeds of those who
served the United States well and fought for her
gallantly, but they spared no effort to seek out
and uncover the activities of those who were
attempting evil things under the cover of un-
usual circumstances in which the world found
itself. Flags waved, bands played, men talked
politics every streetcorner, In clubs, in street
cars, in their homes; suddenly the peak of the
task was passed, the descent was begun and
without being conscious of it these patriotic
citizens slumped deeper into their attitude OF
istlessness towards public affairs than ever be-
fore.
It is time that the patriots of peace as
sembled In the streets, the homes and the mar
ket places. Influences just as strong and far
more subtle are working for the destruction OF
the state; greed and dishonesty are on the prowl
with stealthier tread; policies are still being
propagated which call for public revelation.
One does not have to look a thousand miles
from one s home to realize this. Never before
in this country have there been so many hun
dreds of thousands who have learned by per-
sonal experience-some at the price OF their
own blood-what misery can be brought by cor
rnpt leaders on the people OF nation; Europe
was their teacher. The call to them and to all
intelligent men Is now unmlstakabe, to find
out how and by whom this country is to be gov
erned for the next four years, to estimate
whether the policies are sound and just and to
decide by their votes which men shall govern.
No matter what his political affiliations may be
at present, it is the prime duty of every voter
i'll the republic to make the country's business
his business from now until November. Poll
tics is not waste of time, for on the soundness
of our federal government rests the whole struc-
ture of prosperity and happiness in these Unit
ed States
