Federation of Cheese Men

Dodgeville Sun-Republic Local
farmers to the number of IA, with
about half dozen others, met at the
court house here Saturday afternoon
to consider the advisability of organ
izing a local cheese federation as a
branch of the state federation.
Mr. Hutter, who is the active head
of the Spring Green federation, COM
posed of % factories, acted as chair
man of the meeting, and addresses
were made by Senator Krumrey OF
Plymouth, head of the state fedora
ton, and Mr. Nordman, chief of the
States division of markets. AT the
close of the meeting those present
were asked whether they favored the
formation of federation here and
all but a few, perhaps six or eight,
voted for the proposition.

Effects Of Prohibitlon.

Visitors from abroad who have re-
Gently viewed the industrial condi-
tons now existing in the United
states are as q rule profoundly i'm
pressed by the results of prohibition
as already manifested. In some Of
our cities we have very large ele-
ments of foreign born population ac-
customed TO line Use cf alcoholic
drinks, especially beer. 1t is easy to
theorize about the hardships to
which these people are subjected in
obIising them to forego the percent
age of alcohol in their wines and
beers to which they had been accus-
toned AS a matter of obvious fact,
however. the great majority of these
people are adapting themselves to
the situation. Those who can not get
along without the habitual use Of al
cohclic stimulants are few and far
between. DISTINGUISHED testimony is
mainly to the effect that almost any
group OF people connected with
given industry at a given point are
decidedly better off under prohibition
than they were before. They and
their families have more and better
food; they are putting moro money
in the savings banks and there Is a
visible Improvement In the average
of labor efficiency When these ele-

Member Of The Associated Prsss
RELIEF BILL Is DRAFTED.

The house ways and means COM
mittee is reported to have agreed
upon the features of a soldiers and
sailors relief measure which will
cary provisions for aid in building
homes, offer extension of vocational
training, give service men priority in
acquisition of government lands and
that carries a choice of a dollar a
day during their term Of service TO
those who do not wish to take ad-
vantage OF the opportunities pre-
vously recited. Commissioned off,
GERS. those who received salaries
from their former employers while in
service, and ship yard werlers who
received civilian pay beyond their
service pay are excluded from tho
relief measure.
Just what the provision for voca-
tional training will include and how
1t is 70 be applied and to whom IS
rot stated nor is any information
presently available as to what
amount Of assistance viii be given
home builders. Priority in land set
Elements and the cash offer need
little explanation.
There Will probably be objection
to the size OF the cash payment by
those who desire 10 take that prefer.
However If the vocational feature
and the home aid are extended suffi-
GENTLY to be of a real advantage the
apparent smallness OF the cash
bonus may be overlooked; for ser
vice men are like other men II The
mass and tendency of many will be
toward spending rather than invest
ment while a real opportunity for
training in vocation is a help that
will, last lifetime as is the oppor-
tuntiy to gain farm or build home
and all these will be of wide benefit
not only to those who receive but to
those wso assist to give.
The first draft OF the sub COM
uIittee however is merely the be-
ginning. That any relief bill will be
amended and changed before 1t be-
comes operative Is certain. The
draft of the bill is merely the report
of a committee to be pruned and
expanded and discussed but it Is a
start toward a definite end of the
proposition and forecasts that this
legislation is finally under way.

Topics the Times

And candidate whose supporters
suggest a bolt unless they can have
their way in the convention should be
dropped from consideration by the
republican national convention.
After all 1t Is only natural that
those who pay the taxes should crave
something to say about how the taxes
should be spent.
Quite a lot Of those who used to
follow Mr.. Bryan are foreninst him
now because he helped to keep 'en
out Of beer.
Remember the old days when you
used to ask the neighbors If they
wouldn't accept a bushel or two Of
potatoes when you were cleaning out
the cellar in the spring.
President Lee Of the B. Of r. T..
sees nothing to mediate with the
striking switchmen. He is right about
1t. The laws Of the brotherhood
should rule the brtherhoods. But
suppose that congress were to pass
an anti strike law governing rail-
roads and brotherhoods. Would Mr..
Lee consider the brotherhoods out
laws II they were to strike and would
he insist then that there was nothing
to mediate between the supreme law
Of the land and the strikers?
The George Creel exposures In the
investiga Of the menner in which
the committee of transformation
spent the money we dug up for war is
not surprising. II would be surpris-
ing If a committee could flnd whens
public money was spent with modt-
cum of Judgment, and efficiency and
sense OF responsibility.
The court, deciding the suit brought
against the Chicago Tribune by an
independent whose name did not ap-
pear on the published ballot in the
Tribune and who charged malice on
the part Of this paper for suppressins
it, decided that the newspaper is no,
liable for what It does not print and
that its editors are the sole Judges OF
what constitutes news. It does seem
pretty hard work to libel a man by
letting him alone, doesn't It?

A IJEADERLESS PARTY.
Huntington Haykeye.l


II seems as II the democratic party
had lost its last chance of fndinR
q leader when Herbert Hoover fatty
declined all advances ana declared
himself republican. That they were
willing to accept him altho he wa
not and had never been a democrat,
that was nothing new. They accept
ed Horace Greeley as their standard
bearer, after Greeley had fought ano
abused them as few other mon had.
They were willing to accept the lead
ership of the life long republican.
Horace Greeley, as long as there
seemed a prospect as long as there
seemed even slight chance of win
ming in that way.
1t is little wonder, that a party O..
that kind is "out" most of the time.
At tho same time, 1t becomes ap-
parent how lacking In leadership anu
in first class talent the old party is
at this time. .....
Wilson, a few years ago looked up
on as a superman, has fallen and
now there are few to do him rover
ence. He was wonderful dream
er, but the country needed a states
man. He was so completely con-
WINGED Of his own superiority. that
he was the only man for the place,
that no budding talents were per-
mitted to sprout and develop under
or near him. And so the party finds
itself practically without leadership
OF any kind.
And the thoughts OF many turn
to William Jennings Bryan for the
reason that there is no one else to
take the lead. No one else to place
at the head. Wilson has done his
party greater harm than any of Its
opponents.

THE srAvANQER LACET.

Marshalltown and Marshall county

Laget Is to become their guest this
year. The Stavanger LaGet 10 a Morse
society which meets very much as the
Iowans meet out In southern Cali
fornia or as an American club might
come together annually in Paris or
London. It Is a get-together meeting
OF those OF Morse blood but not tho
less of faithful Americans and in
cidentslly CT American farmers. For
to Norwegian blood the call OF the
farm is stronses. The smell Of the
coil Is In his nostrils bred there thru
q thousand generations OF rorefathers
whose hands were calloused upon
the tools of agriculture. His thrift is
An inheritance from those who wrung
their livelihood out Of reluctant
soil.
There is something OF further In
heritance, something that enables
tho Morse immigrant to md himself
and adapt himself quickly 10 Ameri-
can citizenship. The Norsemen have
been free or lighting for freedom as
we understand freedom during their
existence as a distinct people. They
have insisted that tho mai decision
Of government rests with the people.
They have hated tyranny and fought
to overthrow IT, denied autocracy and
refused 1t and held that the voice OF
the people is the voice OF government.
They made common education com
mon. So when the Norseman cast
his lot In America he was an Amsri-
can citizen in the rough and needed
but the language and time to settle
into his new environment to become
fairly finished product.
Norway is a great little country
great in her men and her thrift and
her courage independence, her
literature and her history. Morse
blood is good blood. Its trans
fusion into the mingled stream Of
American Mfe current has haen len
eAcial to the country that received
it as to those who come to be recsiv-
ed
Those are some of the reasons why
Marshalltown and Marshall county
will be well pleased to greet the

Temperancc--the trait which helps
us to be moderate In our habits, our
speech and actions, our passions.
Temperance Ia TO you what tire
chains are to the automobile. 1t pre-

are travelling. II you are intemper-
ate, you skid hither and thither as
soon as you strike the slippery roads
Of opposition, temptation or encour-

When you are encouraged TO boast,

Next we come to concentration
that's OF course the cluth. IF the
clutch slips the car loses its power.
The engine may be working splen-
didly, but IL the cluth does not grip
tightly, the engines power is vast
ed. You may be working well, but II
you do not concentrate the result Of
your efforts is frittered away.
Economy-the faculty to use or
spend wisely. Obviously that is the
carbureter. II the carbureter is not
adjusted properly the engine gets a
too rich mixture and the gasolene is
wasted. a poor carbureter wastes
the power of tho gas" II you are
deficient in economy you waste your
resources and can not travel nearly
40 far along the road of success as
one who spends his resources-finan-
cial physical and nervous-wisely.

REPEAL MEANS PEACE
TSinllY City Innrnnl


It Is asserted by those who oppose
the pending resolution that the house
Of representatives has no voice in
treaty making and that, therefore, 1t
has no part in the legislation which
ends war. These people confuse the
treaty making power with the leSis-
lative power. The house has no treaty
making power, but it does have equal
power with the senate in repeating
the acts of the two bodies. That is
what the pending resolution is in
tended to do. Those portions of II
which provide for notice to Germany
and the means Of requiring compli-
ance by that nation are extraneous,
unconstitutional and falacious. All
congress can do is repeal the legis-
lation which legally and officially
made war. When that is done. as
The Journal already has pointed out,
peace exists, simply because war does
not exist. A nation cannot be at war

The trains will run for the people

the brotherhood of railway engineers
when discussing the probability Of a
complete tieup of the railroads and
they will run now but it may require
soldier volunteers for the defense of
the nation in order to prevent the
starvation of women and children in
our cities. Either the present strike
of switchmen will end quickly or
congress will be ready and anxious
to enact the senate's proposed law
making a strike in the railroad ser
vice a conspiracy against the life
Of the nation.
Labor Is drunk with power" says
the president Of the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis ind Western and the
average citizen realizes it, none any
more than the level headed, conser-
vative members of labor unions
themselves. The radicals are de-
terIniued to ride to fall and this
railroad strike may be the last ride.
1t looks on its face as an attempt
on the part Of the radical or bolshe-
vik element to force government con-
troll of railroads after congress had
voted to turn the roads back to those
whose money had built them. Fail
ure to force congress into the Plumb
plan for turning ten billions Of rail-
road property over to the workmen
this unauthorized strike seemingly
would force the government to seize
the roads again that its people may
not starye.
If the struggle goes on for any
length Of time hundreds Of thousands
Of other wage workers Will be
thrown out Of work because OF
materials, building and the produc-
ton of goods will be suspended, pay
rolls will cease to function but it will
rot be all for no gain. The time
must come for men to be out of WORK
before the possession of a job will be
sufficiently appreciated to cause
conservative workers to outvote the
radicals and be willing to earn the
wage that Is obtainable. Business
men are predicting industrial dspres-
sion and perhaps soup Kitchens be-
fore the Industrial drunk caused by
the war can aver sober off.

so far as paint and upholstering Is
concerned is able TO travel Just as
far and effectively as it can when

willing to pay much more for the

For just the same reason, the bust
ness world is willing to pay you
more money II you have refinement,
which is the equivalent to the up
holstery and paint OF the automobile.
