laration:
Peace and a good understanding
among nations is vital Let us get out
of the atmosphere where if you talk
about a German without frown on
your brow You are no patriot Trade
cannot start in such an atmosphere. If
you intervene to make peace. your mo-
tives are misunderstood: but if Great
Britain will not do it. who will? We
stand for stability We want to see the
nations begin again the tasks Of peace
The entire speech was plea that the
country is suffering from the results
Of the war. and a declaration that
restoration rests upon the revival of
industry and the rehabilitation of the

revival in trade depends largely upon
the bringing about of a good under
standing among nations.

Ten minutes after court was ad-

A list Of eight or IL witnesses here
appearing for the state. some Of whom
have gone to their homes many miles
from this city, was Thursday morn
ing handed to the prosecution by the

that these be called for further cross

defense sticks to it's point examina-
tion of the prosecutions witnesses in
the Southard poisoning case may con-
tinue for some days.
Attendance at the trial is still
heavy, although very little new evil
dence is being adduced through the

Support of his bill, pending In
tho senate for creation of new
executive department Of the ma
tional government to be known as
the department Of mines and pre-
sided over BY a member of the
cabinet, the secretary of mines,
was urged by United States Sem
ator Samuel D. Nicholson Of Colo
rado, In an address before the
American Mining congress.
Senator Nicholson reviewed the
confusion which arose In WASH
ington during the war when, he
said, ut became necessary to
create new bureaus in order to
stimulate production Of the mines,
the output of which was essen
tiai to the prosecution Of the
war"
Because Of the rapid growth
OF the mining industry and the
position of Increasing Importance
that it has and will continue to
assume for the nation as whole,
there should be no question but
that it is entitled to cabinet rep
resentation," Senator Nicholson
said.
at should now be apparent
that, notwithstanding the abund-
ance Of our agricultural yield, we
have over five million men whose
unemployment largely results
from the depressed condition Of
the mining industry. Many con-
structive laws have been enacted
for tho benefit Of the agricuI-
tural industry and l contend that
the welfare Of the mining indus
try is as fundamentally important
to the general welfare and pros
perity Of the nation as the agri-
cultural industry, and that con-
sideration should now be given the
request of that industry for
department Of mines with cabinet
representation"

Mr.. Taylor declared that he had

During the war the republicans in
congress put politics behind them and
Joined the democratic majority and the
democratic president in every effort to
carry on the conflict. and the record
shows that the republicans were even
more united in favor of the war meas
rres of the administration than the
democrats were. Now. however, when
conditions Of the country are very SER
ions and when the problems present
ing themselves must be settled by pa
triOtic devotion to duty. the democrats
in congress are opposing everything
proposed by the republicans and are
doing all they possibly can to block
remedial iegisla ton. But nothing else
is to he expected. The democratic
party has always acted that way and
10 doubt it always will.

A GOOD PRINCIPLE.

President Obregon, Of Mexico seems
to be gaining the confidence and win
ming the respect of the business world.
According to reports coming from Mex
leo from what appears to he reliable
md trustworthy sources. Mexico is
coming on at present better than it has
at any time since the retiracy Of that
strong man, President Diaz, from the
chief magistracy of that cratic and &c
centric nation.
Three Of the sound principles laid
down by President Obregon. principles
that all governments ought to abide by
are Never Repudiate a Debt. No Dis
elimination Against Foreigners. NO
Retroactive Laws"
No country can prosper as it other
wise would if it repudiates its honest
debts. Such country cannot secure
money when 1t needs it and in conse-
1uence its resources cannot'be fully de.
veloped. The policy of discriminatin.
against. foreigners who so into coull:
try to help develop it is bad policy
and very injurious to the country that
,ursues it. 1t prevents capital from
seeking investments and without CAPT
tai there can be 10 material develop
ments of large consequence. Reotracfi'e
laws. too. are unwise and unjust. The
United States has INDUCED in that sort
If laws. While they may result in tenn.
oorary benefit. in the long run they
ire unfair, unjust and inequitable.
If President Obregon hews to the
me he has marked out. and people
who know him well are Of the opinion
hat he will. his efforts will eventually
Ne rewarded by period Of prosperity
n Mexico not experienced in many
years. The people of the United States
will certainly rejoice at any improve
nent that takes place within the Dor
lers of our southwestern neighbor and
will hope that the dreams and Ideals
If the new president of Mexico may
oe fully realized.

HON. L. J. DICKINSON.

When Congressman Il. j. Dickinson
visited Hamilton county few weeks
ago he made many friends here and it
was remarked by many that he was
growing in influence in congress and
winning the confidence and esteem OF
his constituents. That Mr.. Dickinson
is giving careful and patriotic consid'
Grafton to his duties goes without say
ing. He is working hard and is try
ing to represent the Big Tenth district
with credit to himself and to the salts
faction of the people whose representa-
tive he is, and he is succeeding. The
following from the Luvern News Will
be quite generally endorsed over the
district:
The writer had the pleasure OF an IN
tervicw last Thursday with Congress
man Dickinson. and while we have
known him for. twenty years, and met
him many times, never really had a
heart to. heart talk with him before
and he impresses us as really big
man, mentally, morally and physl'
cnlly, a clean thinker, clean liver
and a good clean broad minded Chris
tian man and the tenth district has
man now in congress to whom it can
point with pride, not only as such but
one whose record eclipses that OF any
man from this district in the past
thirty years. His home city, county
and state can well feel proud OF "our
Dick" And the farmer never has had
III congress better champion than he
for he has fought for their interests
and with the plan lie now has mapped
cut will be found looking well to their
interests.

Well, now, what specific Wilson idea
is the Harding administration trying to
put across? Wilson never thought of q

laws. Mr.. Wilson didn't call the yict
president to cabinet meetings, but fired
the secretary of state for daring to look
after pressing business when the presl.
dent was incapacitated. About the
only Wilson idea Harding has espoused
is the one donating $25,OOO,OOO to Col.

of the republican president. Even the

AFTER SEEING EUROPE.

Various reports are coming out OF
Europe. Some are very discouraging
and disquieting. Others are cheerful
and reassuring. Much depends upon
the viewpoint. However, after sitting
and weighing all the reports-gool,
bad and indifferent-th conclusion is
forced that conditions are most serious
and if they are not getting worse are
merely ut, a, stand-still. DIR. r. A.
Steiner. a well known lOwan. has been
in Europe and writes of what he saw
and OF the impressions stamped upon
his mind Among other. things the
doctor says:
If the political situation remains as
it is now, and IL the provisions of the
Versailles treaty are carried out. l
can't see anything but more war. see
no intellectual or spiritual force in Eu-
rope that would in any way avert an
other catastrophe.
In all of the countries there are two
factions striving for supremacy. There
is the radical faction that is. In favor
of communism and the reactionary fac
ton that is in favor Of the. old mon
archial government. In between these
two factions, is. the mass Of the people
who will support the existing govern
ment, whateve it, Is.
The league Of nations seems to lie n
dead thing. l believe that it would
have had the respect Of Europe If Am
erica had been in, but as it is, the
league is not truly representative. The
Ameriacn dollar has become the stan
dard of values. The American relief
organizations are strong idealistic
influence, but Europeans ash why a
nation SO idealistic in its relief work
cannot he as ilealistic in its political
attitude.
I should have liked to bring back
message of optimism and hope, but
after three months travel through the
countries of central Europe I am more
discouraged than even. Economic
necessity will clarity the situation to
some extent, but believe the people
will be gathering strength only for new
conflicts.

MEXICO FOR PEACE.

President Obregon in The Mexican
Review: The trnest test of peace ana
order, however, is to be found i'll our
army figures.
On June 10, 1920, the army establish
nent of Mexico numbered 23,16' OH
GERS and 1OJOG6 men. Today the army
numbers 1874 officers and 77,2S9 men,
an annual saving of $3G,5OO,OOO. This
is not the end, by any means. AS quick
ly as conditions will permit, further re-
ductiOns will be made until the small
est possible minimum is reached.
Nothing is more untrue than the
widespread belief that the Mexican PEG
Ile are militant and miltaristic as
race. Our passion is mining and asri-
culture. We love the land. In other
DAYS, when few great landlords OWL
ed most all of Mexico's tillable acreage
have seen little communities carry
dirt for eight miles in order to nave
gardens around their humble homes. IL
is this inherited love of the soil that
has been behind every uprising OF the
Mexican people. Land and liberty
these are the two great words that nave
carried the men and women of Mexico
through four hundred years OF misery
aud oppression.
For 800 years we suffered the yoke OF
Spain, the rule Of viceroys, whose one
idea was to wiring more millions from
the colony for the use OF their royal
masters. Neither torture nor famine
nor pestilence has had the power to
crush the Mexican peoples passion Tor

However. there has been some street
criticism of late because the council
has some government securities, it be-
ing pointed out that the city could make
several hundred dollars more per year
by loaning the money elsewhere. All
Of which is true. of course. but we be-
lieve the people generally, barring a
few prot Germans, and pro-Germans are
scarce in Webster City, will stand by

had no reason to alter its opinion since.

There are some public officials who
are prone to be very economical III
small things but very extravagant in
large things. Such officers will scan
with fine discrimination bill OF a local
merchant for So and then let contract
involving the expenditure of $4,000 or
$4,000 with less care given to economy
that was exercised on the 50 account.
The allowance of Sc or IS or III per
month to needy window to support
her children is scrutinized with great
circumspection but when some con-
tractor is granted Il contract involving
perhaps $4,000 not much considera-
ton is given to economy. Such officials
arc great on saving pennies and eX-
pending dollars. 1t is all right to be
economical, but it is much more valu-
able to the taxpayer TO have economy
in the big things instead OF in the lit
tie things.
