DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH Manson Journal: During the next few months there will no doubt be some who' will be disappointed because all the evils they hq.ve complained of in the past are not cured by the latest republican victory. It may not.be out of place just now to relate an incident connected with the election of McKin ley in 1896. At that time the country Was in a deplorable condition. Corn •was selling at about 15 cents and hogs ?1.9Q to $2.10. ,Some six weeks after election an old farmer living near Jol ley wrote to Dolllver to remind him of hiO promises during the campaign that the flection of McKinley would bring about a better condition. Dolliveir, with his usual ready wit, wrote back as follows "Dear Friend: Your letter a,t hand. Now as to getting out of the condition which the democratic party tyta gotten us,, it is like attempting to drive through Hell slough near your place you know you can get farther Into that slough in Ave'minutes than yqv can get out" in six weeks. Wo have beep four yeanj getting into this con dlfloh and it is going to take some time to get out." .. IMPOSING ON THE FARMER Remson Bell-Enterprise: Besides pay ing, excellent prices to corn pickers, euijl furnishing them lodging and board such as most of the transients would nK enjoy-in theip accustomed haunts lftvthe cities, many farmers are being v'-' upon by strangers who are too lasy to worit and who want nothing lupine than a square meal and a little mpftey. ,to' carry them further on their rumblings. Many reports have been mftde of. strangers 'who apply for work as corn pickers, get a job and then stay hmg enough -to fill their empty stom aofii at the farmer's iexpense and tfien ngove on. Others have, been accepting jobs during, rainy weather feeding them selves for several days at the farmer's well provided -table ,find then moving on. Tfce ^fMfiest time, It is said, to get a e^rMge oorn picker to the farm is to ward trie "end of "the week and it later develops that he came merely to spend Sunday with a good room and good board. Nevertheless many of them axe good, honest fellows, but the only ones tfeai, c^n be deperRfefl upon for steady work are the men i?vhp have formed an aCflualfltsnce in tne. neighborhood and axe known, to be reliable. Many cities and. towns take up mu ri&ip»1 :»l?mHlng pi»Jecta Jn a spasmod ic Way, but after accomplishing a few good tttng»4rtb» Mgnfth^itum rdtap ..•oafc* BveraMicity "ahouwii 4)ave^its planning, boari.as a permanent department of Its municipal organization.. Public citi s»n«.ahouId usually be willing to serve' Oil such a board without salary, but of foarae engineering add clerical work mustVhe paid for if required. Among the projects that should be taken up in most places is some per maneht improvement in rear estate ly ing along railroad tracks. In most, ctuei, .on entering by railroad, you are greeted with a most depressing array (ft pigpens, chicken" coops, tumble down outhouses and general chaos and dlsor tier. The land along the railroad line la, the city's front yard. It te just as preposterous to allow tills conspicuous frontage to be main talCted in disorder as for a man to al 1 low chicken coops and rubbish on his front t&wn. While you carinot force property owners _by legal means to clean up such disorder,, a campaign to persuade them to improve such conditions can be very utcoa^BfuUy,, carried out. Prizes for ,,\ the. greatest improvement in grounds :t along the railroad' lines would produce results. Good sanitation, pure water supplies, pfanUpg of shade trees are three prop aidtioas that must be., included in any cfty planning movement. Strangers contemplating settlement in a place In quire about the water and a city must always consider where its future, sup ply 16 to come from. The lack of suffi cient" styeet trees condemns any place at' fl&ht. The city that fails to look gets into difficulties as- easily as •iness that never exercises fore sight^'. But the city that does plan for It* future keeps ahead of the game of competition.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19--"The,l4 has been an unfortunate attempt by some parties in Europe to create the im pression that the debt owed the United States is not really a debt at all, but should be cancelled as part of our con tribution to the cost of the war," de clares the republican publicity associa tion, through its president, Ho:p. Jona than Bourne, Jr. "The conversion of the debt into bonds with a definite rate and maturity date would go far, to dis pel that illusion. "Word comes from London to the ef fect that the Germans have delivered to, the Reparations commission under the Versailles treaty bonds to the amount of 60,000.000 gold marks, worth 3,000,000,000 pounds sterling at the present rate of exchange, or approxi mately $15,000,000,000 at the normal rate of exchange of America^ and Eng lish currency. That means that Eng land, France and the other allies have got specific acknowledgment of a large portion of the debt which Germany owes them, to take the place of the rather indefinite I. O. U.'s contained in the peace treaty signed by only two Germans. It means that the allies will begin to draw Interest on those bpnds and that they can be presented for re tirement at the dates specified therein. Furthermo.re, it means that that amount of the German debt to the allies, 3s now in negotiable shape and it is possible, if the allies' choose to do so, to sell the bonds in the world's mar kets and realize cash upon them. "All of which should forcibly remind the American people.of the huge debt owed by the allies to the United States, which now approximates $10,000,000,000 That debt is evidenced by the deposit in the treasury of various promissory notes signed by" ambassadors and min isters from the debtor countries at Washington. Those notes bear inter est at the rate of 5 per cent per annum but comparatively little of that inter est has been paid. The liberty lean acts authorized the secretary of the treas ury to exchange the demand notes held bv him for long time obligations of the debtor countries. For many, months the secretary has been engaged in dis cussions with those Countries as to the terms of the exchange and meanwhjle the collection of interest on the. debt has been deferred. It is intimated by the secretary that no interest will be collected during tlie reconstruction peri od of two or three years from the spring of 1919. .. "Now, what does that mean to the American taxpayer? It meanB that he must contribute about $600,000,000 a year while the treasury "discussions" are In progress, and until an agreement has been reached with debptr govern ments as to the terms of the long time obligations we are expecting from them. Every man, woman and child in the country is to be taxed $6 a year While the exchange of opinions is tak ing place. That is one:eighth of the entire sum which the secretary of the treasury estimates, as necessary to run the government for the next year. "The Harrlman national bank of New York is engaged in a publicity campaign' to urge the prompt exchange of the promissory notes now held into negotiable bonds, primarily to secure a direct ond specific acknowledgment by each debtor government of the ex istence and validity of the debt, and al so to establish a date in the near fu ture when Interest payments may be expected *and allowance made for them in estimating the revenues of the treas- yry.

I "•vV casting our tax laws is the need 'for realizing on the accounts due and col lectible from foreign sources before fix ing on the total that must be .taken from the American taxpayers. It is a delicate undertaking, of- course,, but one which should show definite results at ah early date.' All the United- States is asking is the application of the same principles that the allies themselves have applied to their German debt. The present administration has been at it rfor ftonths with no tangible results. Let us hope that republican dlplopiacy will meet with better success." THE ALERT STORE Some stores are satisfied to use just the same lines of rperchahdise year at-, ter year. Other stores are alert every minute to where they can get the last dollar of value. They are constantly looking over different lines searching for spe cial opportunities, testing out new of fering, trying to get the very best thing offered in the competitive strug gle. Such a policy involves more work. But thorough Investigation of -all sour ces of supply yields chances to buy to better advantage. Dealers realize they must make a special effort to please such a house. Having made all this effort such a store is not usually satisfied to sit still and let the public come in if it cares to. Its effort will be useless unless it tells the public in detail what offerings of special value it has been able to find. Her»ce such a concern is-usually a liberal newspaper advertiser. ALMOST A SHADOW, AFRAID "My son-in-law w^s so bad from stomach trouble that l»e was reduced to almost a shadow and was afraid to eat anything, as all fopd caused bloat ing of gas, which pressed against his heart, worrying: him very much. Our drugglpt persuaded him to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and In two montlw he looked flnei can eat anything ^and works hard every day." It is a simple, harmless .preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal traot and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

Des Moines Register: The riimor that President Wilson's forthcoming message to congress will be brief may have some basis of fact. He is cer tainly justified in thinking that advice would be wasted on' the republicans after what happened a couple of weeks ago. Man.son Democrat: The official count shows that Harding carried Iowa by over 406,000.Why bother counting to 6,000? Cedar Rapids Republican: Of course, it will be no use in holding crops, if prices are not going to be higher., /Storage and depreciation and interest oh notes all count up—and what as surance does the average farmer have that he will be able to get more after he has held his stuff and that in the face of another maturing crop, if he holds it long enough? It's a problem that needs to be considered and that very wisely. The ability to get loans to tide over with may also prove to be a losing adventure. Marshalltown Times-Republican: The average democrat is so good a loser as to kindle the suspicion that things I turned out just about as he had wlsh 'ed quietly to himself..

Iowa people like Claudehe's one or the finest fellows in the state, democrat though he is, but there is no place for him in of ficial life. His only fault is his poli tics and that is a fatal fault In Iowa. Now let some other man sacrifice for the party. a novice in politics. The. democratic party will be with us as long as there is sin and there will be sin as long as there is a .democratic party.' *. Albia News: It will be up to' the democrats to return good for evil and stand back of the new president with loyalty and good wishes for success. He will be president of all and shpuld have a united constituency in all ef forts to properly conduct the affairs of the nation. Burlington Hawkeye: The republi cans will do well to heed the comment of Senator Harding that the result of the election is "a national call to the republican party." It is not a call to factionalism, or a resumption of old quarrels: it is a call for an united par ty to deal with new problems.» Manson Journal: Tlie, republicans promised the people of Iowa that if given a chance they would do their own housecleaning. The people took them at their word, and now it is up to the party to make good. Gov-elect Kendall has a big job on his hands, but we believe he is a big enough man to do the job thoroughly and well. The people of the state have expressed their confidence in the party and men and we have no fear of the results. Anthon Herald: This newspaper trusts that tjie Woodbury county sen ator and twO representatives will not only vote but work for the passage of the Edson bill .for a soldier's bonus that will be presented at the next meeting of the legislature.
