ADDING TO THE HC. OF TRAVEL.

It will cost ten dollars now for the privilege
of quitting the country, even for a little time.
The new rate went into effect on the first Of this
July, the government having marked up the
price from two dollars on that date. And this
is only the beginning Of the expense, for the
viseing Of the passport by the consul of the
country to be visited is not labor of love; and
the government of the country reached has regu-
lations to be met which, in Brazil for example,
cost thirty dollars more. The citizen who
would leave this land Of the free for lands which
are freer in some important respects must be
photographed, certified, identified and give
such biographical data as pateInalistic gov
ernment calls for; and first-paper aliens must
get passports from the government to which
they owe allegiance until their naturalization
here is complete. Relatives who go abroad to
visit graves are allowed to go for one dollar;
but this special rate does not permit them to
travel in other lands The bill repeating the
war emergency laws, which the president We
toed, would have made passports cheaper and
obtainable with less red tape. The act of May,
1918, is now in effect; but when peace is pro
claimed travellers may enter and leave the

Big City Food Grafters-

Donnellson Review: The citv
newspapers are beginning to learn
the facts abct the high cost of food
IN the c1t1es-anyway they are now
putting the blame near where it be-
longs and not on the farmer.
tor example, we have just heard a
series OF wild chicks about potatoes.
Inc city papers have been stating
that the farmer sold his potatoes on
the railroad siding at $500 per bushel.
we know many who sold them for
less than that but no matter. let it
go at $500. Well the editors of the
city are calling attention to the fact
that these $500 potatoes are now
selling in stores at $1,000 a bushel.
What are they going to do about
it? They don't know. But many OF
them answered at once by urging
strony men to go to work in the
country. Think of it. Instead of
exposing by name the grafters and
thieves who paste $500 profit on
top Of the farmers $500 producing
price, their only thought is to urge
men to go out and work on the land.
In itself that is good advice lust now.
but why not chuck few grafters into
Jail, or at least stop their profiteer-
ing?
The fact is, prices to the farmer
for the stuff he produces could be
increased and the retail prices in the
city stores cut nearly in half if the
all along the line were
satisfied with reasonable profits.
Few of them are. The others need

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE WHEAT FIELD.

Like liquid gold the wheatfeld lies,
A yellow and ruSset and green
That riEples runs, that floats and flies,
With the subtle shadows, the change, the snee0,
Such as play in the golden hair OF glrl
A ripple of amber, flare
OF light sweeping after, a curl
In the hollows like swirling feet
OF fair walters, the colors run
To the western
Through the deeps of the ripenng wheat
Broad as the neckess soaring sky
Mysterious, fair the moonled sea,
The plain flames on the dazzieo eye
Under the fierce suns alchemy.
The slow hawk stoops
To his prey in the deeps;
The sunflower droops
To the lazy wave; the wind sleeps
Then all in dazzling links and loops,
A riot of shadow and shine,
A glory of olive and amber and wine
To the westering the colors run
Through the deeps Of the ripenng wheat
glorious land My Western land,
Outspread beneath the setting sun!
Once more amid your swels stand
And cross your sodlands dry and oun'
I hear the jocund calls of men
!. Who sweep amid the ripened grain
With swift, stern reapers. once again
The evening splendor floods the plain
The crickets chime b
Make pauseless rhyme,
And toward the sun
The splendid colors romp and run
Before the winds feet
In the wheat!

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: If the methods
of the administration forces at San
Francisco were applied in half as
drastic a manner in a republican con
Ivention the democratic press of the
country would be shouting itself
hoarse over the steam roller prac.
!tice, and large portion OF the re.
publican press would repudiate the
party for its policy. But the San
Francisco gathering not only likes
the methods, but calls for more The
opposition to the administration aoes
not dare raise its voice in protest.
Story City Herald: Attorney Gen
eral Havner stopped a few minutes in
Story City yesterday on his way to
Des Moines. We gather from short
conversation with him that he con-
.siders his chances OF receiving the
'gubeTnatorial nomination at the forth
coming state convention as very
good. Mr.. Havner feels that he
comes nearer being able to make a
:clean-cut campaign on the issues that
will be emphasized In Iowa this year
than any one of the other candidates.
Allison Tribune: Moore is considef-
ed the fayorite on account OF his
carrying the largest number Of coun-
ties, but if each delegation supports
the candidate who carried their
county deadlock will follow.
Chances are neither of the leading
candidates will be named and a dark
horse will step into the gubernatorial
nomination. -.. ..
Waterloo Times-Tribune: The re-
publicans threw mud at each other
in Chica go; the democrats are throw
ing mud at each other in Frisco-and, !,
next week the republicans and demo-
Gratis will begin throwing mud at
each other.

Davenport Democrat: An increase
in the rail rate on coal shipments
will not induce any manifestations
OF frenzied JOY on the part of the con-
sumer, but full coal bin will look
awfully good this winter at any price.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: This coal
shortage talk isn't at all alarming
now, but, like the cloud no bigger
than a mans hand, it will develop
along next November and December
into a real menace.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: If Hoover
has sense of hurnor he must be
the situation. At first both
parties wanted him. When he de-.
clared himself republican he got
half a dozen votes in the big conven-
ton. And from San Francisco there
comes the word to the effect that he
could really have had the demo
cratic nomination.

GovERNMENTLEss GERMANY.

It looks as if Germany were doomed for the
immediate present to remain governmentless.
The so-called "bourgeois cabinet OF F'ehren-
bach has collapsed. The democrats and the peo-
ple's party both express dissatisfaction, and, as
the majority socialists refused a vote OF conf
dence, Fehrenbaoh went the way of the other
chaneellors appointed by President Ebert
Nobody wants to run Germany in the ex-
listing crisis. It is impossible to foresee how
the deadlock will be broken or what will happen.
Any party that participates in the govern
ment is bound to be discredited before the next
elections for the reichstag which will be held III
the autumn.
The Ebert ministry has been not inappropri-
ately described as "a political suicide govern
ment" The German republic so far has shown
itself weak republic. The action Of the Ebert
government in playing first to one party and
then to another exhibits an utter lack Of self
confidence. The French suggestion that Ger
many is secretely planning revenge seems rather
absurd in view of Eberites' helplessness. The
socialists appear to be biding their
time for another revolutionary outbreak. The
democrat party, having already lost prestige,
does not want to weaken its position more by
having anything to do with a feeble admins
tration. The militarsts look on at the impo-
tence of Ebert with exultation It is possible
that they hope to find the materials for reac-
tionary movement in people without gov
erntnent and without any settled conditions
under which German labor could work out it's
destiny.

We Wonder!

The following very touching
appeal came to this office the
other day, and we give it space
in the hope of finding solution:
my Dear Editor:-For the
first time in my life I am going to
ask of you favor, and you don't
know how badly l hate to do it.,
but I have reached a stage where
I don't let pride interfere, and I
am writing to ask your assistance.
I have a heavy load on my mind
and heart, and feel safe in rely
ing on your helpto solve one of the
awfullest problems [ have ever
encountered, and for old times
sake l entreat you to help me.
You will probably be surprised
at my writing you, but l have no
one else to whom l can turn and
am therefore writ ng you. What
has happened TO me is one of the
things many people may have ex-
perienced; many homes have been
broken up, and many people made
unhappy by similar troubles. One
days delay might prove disast-
rous to me, SO as much as | hate
to bring myself to this confession
to my friends, you should know
the worst at once for it means
whole lot to me. 1 do not care to
tell any of my friends in this part
of the country my troubles, for
most of them are new friends and
not to be relied upon, and I have
always felt you to be a good friend
and in this hour of distress Think |
of you. I know I am asking a
great deal but know your friend
ship will warrant it. and in decid.
ing a matter of such importance,
I want to lay aside your friendship,
your loyalty and any regard you
might have for me personally, and
tell me, and pray you answer me,
from the bottom of your heart,
How old is Ann?"
Yours, Lovingly,
