THE STAKE.

The people OF this country VINO ia'or
ratification Of the work OF the arms
conference are very much interested
in the vote that is to take place in the
senate tomorrow. 1t is predicted that
the four-power pact will be ratified ty
a very small majority, about the two
thirds requirement, but it should be
ratified by every vote i'll the senate
except those cast by Borah, Johnson,
LaFollette and Reed.
If, the Pacific pact fails of rat1fica-
ton there is no telling what effect such
failure will have upon the other agree
ments reached. Some governments
taking part in the deliberations OF the
conference may not agree to the work
of their delegates if the United States
senate fails to ratify the agreements
regarding the rights of those most di-
rectly Interested in the Pacific. Thus
the arms limitations, which promise to
stop the mad race for superiority. thus
reducing by millions upon millions OF
dollars the expenditures for naval con-
structiOn, are threatened. With rati-
fication of all the agreements entered
into at the Washington conference will
come demands from the people of all
nations for heavy reductions in OK
penditures for war preparations and
the tax payers of the entire world will
be relieved Of large part Of the
burden under which they are now stag
gering In speaking along these lines
the Harrington, Neb.. Herald well says !:
Get one thing clearly in your mind
that when the leading nations agreed
upon ratio of armament, they utter
ly destroyed competition in building.
This accomplished, every nation knows
that it cannot get ahead Of any other
nation and that no other nation can
get ahead of it, That being true, no
nation has an incentive to build, but
every nation has an incentive to reduce
building Of warships and war ma terial.
Knowing that there is no danger of
aggressive warfare, the people of every
nation will demand from year to year
that the military expenditures be re-
duced and the military burdens light
ened At the same moment that Presi-
dent Harding and his aids at the con-
ference secured the adoption of a plan
for limitation of armament, they made
it absolutely certain that there will be
a steady reduction. There will be no
posed under tnc league. Each nation
will he anxious to reduce"

Some Massachusetts, legislator intro.
luced bill in the general assembly re-
quiring everybody in the state to go
to church. No doubt the sponsor OF
the bill is religious zealot who
thought he was serving God. How.
ever, the bill was defeated by a decis.
i've majority, as it should have been.
Wonder if anybody with ordinary sense
thinks it would do an adult any good
to go to church under compulsion? AS
after of fact such a law would do
harm. as it would be resented by a
people who believe in religious free
dom. In years agone men were forced
10 believe or to pretend to believe as
somebody else wanted them to, but
nobody was ever led to God in that
manner.

BR0ADEN THE SCOPE.

One of the best laws put on Iowa
statute books in recent years is the
che providing for an auditing OF city
and county books by checkers from the
State Auditors Office.
Having no local interests, they are
free to criticize where a ''hOme town
man might not do so. And they are
merciless-wisey so.-Dcs Moines
News.
And why wouldn't it be good idea
to have the books Of school districts,
especially those having more than
1000 or 5000 population, audited:
The school boa rds expend more Of the
taxpayers money than any other body
does, yet school boards are not required
to publish proceedings or to have their
books examined. The only publicity
that is required of them is publication
of the annual report of the secretary,
and many of them do not do even that

ability that United States senator
Should have, in the judgment OF this
newspaper, but he is entitled to a
square deal and the opposition cannot
defeat him by throwing mud and brick
bats.
As the Cedar Falls paper well says,
IF the republicans Of Iowa are serious
" determined to defeat him it will be
necessary for them to unite on some
strong man." But there appears to be
no man in sight upon whom they will
unite hehce it is more than likely that
Brookhart will be nominated and the
Freeman-Jo Journal is predicting that if
he gets the republican nomination he
will be elected by a large majority, re-
CARELESS Of the fact that many OF the
so-called "old-guard" will vote against
him. In this connection the following
contained in recent dispatch from
Mason City is significant:
"A large meeting of the unions in the
trades and labor assembly, the train
mems organizations and more than
fifty farmers was held here and i'll
dorsed s. w. Brookhart of Washington
for United States senator"

THE SIZE OF IT.

"Some Iowa newspapers are charg-
ing Smith Brookhart with being Dol
sheyik and other uncomplimentary
things. 1t isn't true. First of all Mr..
Brooknart is gentleman. He is vigor-
Gus and intelligent. He has a record
of patriotic service. We do not agree
with some of the things he is supposed
to champion but the Record is decided
ly of the opinion that to make
sure Of Mr.. Brookhart's getting his 30
per cent is TO assail him as a bolsnevik.
If, the republicans of Iowa are serious
ly determined to defeat him it will be
necessary for them to unite on some
strong man."-Cedar Falls Record.
The Record states the case exactly as
it appears TO the Freeman-Journal.
Brookhart cannot be beaten by villifi-
cation and Justification. He is man
of radical ideas and ordinary ability.
but withal is a good citizen. patriotic.
DESTROYS of serving his country and If
elected United states senator from
Iowa will use the light that he has in
way that he thinks is for the best
interests of the people. He is alto
gether too radical to suit the Freeman
Journal and has not the commanding

of ship subsidies, but that may be the
only policy that is possible to secure
a desirable merchant marine. If the
United States had Il large number Of
ships they could be used to advantage
in case of war it might prove very
valuable. Moreover, they could be aid

from the treasury. Our immigration
laws could he so framed that immi-

American ships and our tariff laws
could also be made more beneficial to

ed by Americans.

west would probably be willing to sup

1t is very big question and one
that ought to be approached with an
Cpen mind free from prejudice. 1t
would be a great thing for the middle
west if the Lakes-St. Lawrence pro-
ject could be put through and would
return to this section of country many
fold the amount that subsidies would
cost. Men who ought to know insist
that it would save at least five cents
a bushel on corn freight charges. That
would mean to Iowa saving in the
n,ighborhood of $2O,OOO,OOO per year
on corn alone, while ship subsidy
that would cost the government $780,
100000 per annum would not cost Iowa
10 exceed S1,OOO,O0O. And what Iowa
would save on corn it would save III

ENTITLED TO FAIR PLAY.

The newspapers and partisans oppos-
ing Col. Smith Brookhart for United
States senator may get something OF a
start by charging him with being a
bolshevist, 9 near traitor, an l. w. w.
and an anarchist, but long before the
day Of the primary the people VIII
know the truth and these false charges
will return to harass and annoy those
who are now INDUCING in them. The
following item from the Sioux City
Journal pictures thessituation just as
tit is: iEsss
Russell J. Cockblrn, of -Des Moines,
who subscribes himself a veteran of the
machine gun company, One Hundred
and 'sixtNeighth infantry, writes a
letter to. the Iowa LeGonaire to declare
his faith in Col. BrOokhart. Certain
newspapers are calling the colonel al
anarchist, and Col. Cockburn resents
it,. He says he voted against Col.
Brookhart in 1920, because he did not
know him, but he indicates that he will
vote differently this year. He cites
the colonel's military record beginning
,, in the Spanish-American war, and con
tinuing through national guard service
Mexican border service and the grea,
war, to disprOve the charge that ne Is
a disloyal anarchist. There is he
more loyal or better friend Of the sol
der in Iowa." asserts Mr.. Cockburn
ethan Col. Brookhart." There is nc
| doubt that Col. BrOOkhart has credit
able if not distinguished military re
cord. The Journal believes it is pOss
ible to formulate sound reasons why
Iowa could do better than send Col
Brookhart to the United States senate
but it questions the wisdom Of calling
him names-of branding him bolsne
visit, an anarchist, an l. w. w., n man
disloyal to his country. 1t is moi
necessary to do that, and it accom-
plishes nothing. There are plenty OF
weak places in Col. Brookhart's armol
making it unnecessary to vilify an(
misrepresent him. 1t is to be HOPED
that the senatorial canvass will bt
