ROY WELTERLEN DEPUTY
AUDITOR

Roy Welterlen, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. w. Welterlen, of this city, and an
,ex-service man of the world war, has
been appointed as deputy county aud
itor, beginning his work in the office
Tuesday. Mr.. Welterlen is young
man who will make an efficient de-
putty and is in every way worthy Of
the confidence reposed in him by Mr..
Fishel, and the board OF supervisors
who ratified his appointment. Roy SER
we'd his country on the Mexican bor-
der, and when the Rainbow division
was sent overseas, he was one OF the
first men selected from the Iowa Ma
tional Guard units to make up the
celebrated organization from Iowa.
He saw much hard service overseas,
and since his return has been associa-
ted with his father at the carpenters
trade. We believe that Mr.. Fishel's
appointment will meet with the hearty
approval of the county.

The feet so swift to run on deeds OF
love
Shall rest forever more, and the voice
Whose music brought such gladness to
our hearts,
Is hushed forever; yet we would not
weep.
This is the casket here; the priceless
gem,
The immortal soul has now put on
the incorruptible.
The wasted hands are holding out the
victors palm;
The thin white face is radiant within
the sunshine Of her Savior's smile.
And the brow, SO marked with care
and pain and suffering
Is crowned with matchless diadenl.
We would not mourn for her:
Dear ones long severed gather round
her there.
And words of loving welcome reach
her ears,
While over all the gracious plaudit
sounds
Servant of God, we'll DONE"

NO PLACE FOR sENsATIONALIsM.

Following the shooting of William
Matusch by Llyod Schuler about three
weeks ago and before the arrest OF
Schuler, there appeared several ar
ticles in the dailies published in near
by cities to the effect that there was
great danger of lynching should the
guilty one be returned here. After his
capture there appeared an account
which stated that Schuler was to be
kept in Waterloo for while to avoid
the danger of lynching and would
be brought here later when public
wrath subsided.
Nothing could be further from the
facts. The situation here, as depicted
in these articles, originated in the
minds of the young men who were
bent upon working up a sensational
story for their papers. So far as has
come to the knowledge of this paper
there was no sentiment here other than
that Schuler should be apprehended
and brought back here for trial, in
court. The only times we heard Of
lynching was when it was suggested
in the articles in the neighboring
dailies. Schuler's return to Manches-
ter was announced in advance and q
large crowd met the train he came
back on. There was not the slightest
sign of disturbance. Those who were
there were doubtless attracted through
curiosity. They were quiet and order
ly and the prisoner was taken through
the streets to the Jail, without a
suggestion of a threat against him.
It might be we'll for our neigh
boring dailies to have care in how
they allow these stories to be played
up. They might easily influence tie
minds Of some and at the same time,
as they have in this instance, carry
abroad to others outside of this vi
cinity an impression of our people
that they do not deserve. The lynching
stories were pure fabrications and a
reflection upon the good citizenship
of this county. No man need to fear
violence here or doubt his chances OF
a fair trial in Delaware county.

JAPAN'S BUSINESS
 MEN OPPOSE NAVY
(By the Associated Press)

Tokio, (Delayed) Discussing the movement of Japanese business men to curtail military expenditures, the Yorodzu, Tokio daily, with large popular circulation, emphasizes how little the civil officials have to do with naval and army appropriations in tn sicountry.
 The newspaper records the conten- tion of the business clements that 4S.S per cent of the budget is devoted to armaments, but points out that thi , is not unprecedented, because in 1897, subsequent to the Japan-China war, the percentage was 49.4 per cent. However, the amount in 1921-1922 shows a seven-fold increase compar- ed with 1897.
 The journal continues:
 Apart from the question of the excessive nature of otherwise of the military expenditures, however, 1t must be pointed out that owing to the fact that the administration of the army and navy is in the hands of military and naval men respective ly, no civil official-much less out siders- are allowed to know the par ticulars of the military expenditures. Sometimes satisfactory explana- tion Is denied even in the diet.
 ''It is for this reason that naval and military men are allowed freedom in the expenditures of public funds, un- fettered by outside interference.
 "lt will be mistake if this sort of thing is allowed to go on. While not wishing to overburden the coun- try with more investigation commit tees, it surel y is necessary in this in stance that a committe be appointed so that careful investigation may be made into the items of naval and mil itary expenditures before they are ap- proved by the diet"
