PUNISH THE GRAFTERS.

The Des Moines Register is author
ity for the statement that graft Of
diverse kinds has been discovered
in some of the state offices, that the
things shown up in the senate investi-
cation of the Thirty-eighth assembly
were not much more than a circum-
stance to the things that were not
shown up, and that house cleaning
at the. capitol is coming.
This is nothing more than what
The Register long ago contended for
when it asked repeatedly for a full
report of the senate Investigating
committee and when it asked why the
investigation died.
Everybody knows how some peo-
pie were forced out Of state office by
the investigation; everybody knows
that only a fraction of the ugly facts
were discovered to the public; ey-
erybody knows a lot of politicians
were against carrying the thing
through; and everybody knows it was
not carried through"
The Register is entitled to the cred
1t of having in the past exposed
questionable practices and crooked
work in the state house, and the
public will welcome full exposure
of the facts. 1t is to the shame of the
good name Of Iowa that its highest
officials have been guilty of graft.
Let us have full and fair investiga-
ton and let the public know the re-
suit. The people Of Iowa are carry
eng very heavy and ever increasing
load of taxes, and if the state officials
are squandering or stealing money,
we have a right to know the facts.
Those guilty of graft should be pun
ished, whether they are in or out of
office.

LINCOLN

(William Cullen Bryant's Ode for the
Martyred Presidents Obsequies Read
in New York, April 25, 1869
Oh, slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle and merciful and just;
Who, in the fear of God. didst bear
The sword Of power, a nations trust
In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe that bushes all,
And speak the anguish of land
That shook with horror at thy fall
Thy task is done, the bond are free
We bear thee to an honored grave
Whose proudest monument shall be
The broken letters of the slave.
~
Pure was thy life; its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons Of
light,
Among the noble host of those
Who persisted in the cause OF right.

NEED OF WORLD
English Writer Sees Starva'
ton Staring Humanity
in Face.

NEW YORK, Nov 1.-THE world is In
danger of starving to death unless TIE
great nations take immediate steps In
concerted effort to cheek the birth
rate. J. o. P. Bland, noted English writer,
declared here today.
Bland, who is d recognized authority
on the Far East predicted war between
the United States and Japan If the Nip
ponese are forced by the President
armament conference to abandon their
program Of territorial expansion.
Only war can save Japan, he declared,
unless It secured outlet for the enigra-
ton of a surplus population which II
can not feed.
The distinguished Englishman who if
here to attend and address the first
American congress on birth control
which opened today, denounced ministers
and doctors, declaring them to be the
two classes which were the most vtgor-
GUS in their opposition to birth control
and yet practiced 1t the most"
He declared the program Of the Wash
inRton arms parley to secure future
world peace by limiting ornaments "tC
be childish"
1.-THE one thing most important to the
worlds peace and welfare-the limita tor
Of population-it will not consider" hG
said.
1.-THE world is oyerpopulated and with
nearly 100000 now starving, great mis-
cry and suffering are in store for us al
unless the intelligent nations Immediately
unite to reduce the birth rate"

TRIBUTE PAID
OTHER HEROES
IN CEREMONIES
Secretary Weeks Says World
Demonstrates 1t Is Ap-
preciGtiUe of Bravery.
BY JOHN w. WEEKS.
(Secretary of War;

WASHINGTON, Nov 11.--As far into
the past as the historian has penetrated
men have done honor publicly to those
OF their fellows who performed brave
deeds in the public cause, or displayed
in marked degree qualities conducive TO
the common welfare. In these cere-
monies to the unknown warrior we are
reshirming that practice, demonstrating
that the world today is no less Rpprecia-
tive OF noble courage and self sacrifice
than II wAS OF old.
But there Is something peculiarly ap-
pro9riate In this tribute to an unknown
fallen hero. When an army of millions Of
men fares forth to battle, It is inevita BILE
that there should be instances of IN
recognized Notwithstanding of hard
ships uncOmplainIngly endured, thou
sands OF sacrifices unhesitatingly made
and thousands of deeds Of personal he
roism, no less noble because they were
at the time unheralded and unrscorded
In giving to this unknown warrior
honOrs such as have seldom been accord
ed to kings and potentates in the -pAst,
a grateful nation is endeavoring to pay
in part at least the tribute OF respect
and admiration which these deeds Of un-
song heroes warrant.-COpyright 1921,

IRISH DECLINE
LLOYD GEORGE
PROPOSITION
Ulster Cabinet to Submit Its
Own Plans for ComprO-
mise.

LONDON, Nov. 11.-Following a meet
ing of the Ulster cabinet today 1t was
announced that the compromise pro-
posals submitted by Premier Lloyd
George on the Irish situation were I'M
satisfactory TO Ulster. The Unionists
will submit their own counter proposals
in writing, the announcement said.
Lloyd Georges proposal was received
shortly after the Ulster cabinet met.
Despite Craigs statement, it was
pointed out In well-informed circles that
the Ulster cabinets rejection Of the com
promise proposals did not constitute end
Ing Of negotiations for Irish peace, as
an overwhelming majority Of English
Unlonists are known to be prepared to
face a party split, rather than consent to
renewal of hostilities in Ireland.
Belief prevailed that one of the main
reasons for the Ulster cabinets unfa-
vorable decision was its conviction that
the compromise offer was the result Of
the conferences between Lloyd George and
Sim Felners without regard for the
Unionlsts' claims.
