For every one had lilacs then. The big clumps stood is the front yards— nobody had lawns in those days. They stood just beyond the windows of the house and other clumps grew beside the white picket fences and leaned over the sidewalk to tempt the passer by.

It is a symbol of the resurrection, the promise of a future as it is a re minder of the past, that sprig of lilac bloom. IN POOR COMPANY. A notable peculiarity attaching to anti woman suffrage scouts that are wording over the state seems to be that they are not residents of Iowa and most of them very poorly In formed as to Iowa and Iowa condi tions. The most recent of these visitors to this section of the state found it hard to recall the name of one of Iowa's largest cities. In reply to questions he stated that he had been in the state but four months employed by anti huffragists, that he came to the state from West Virginia and had been at one time or another a newspaper man. An anti suffrage organization, he saps, pays him salary and expenses. Why Is it necessary to import or send in from the outside an army of gumshoers to tell Iowans how to vote on woman suffrage, and who is Im porting or sending them and what are the impelling reasons for the expendi ture of large sums In salaries and ex penses and bonuses paid and promised of these agents? Who outside of this state is so compellingly interested the event of the vote on woman' suf frage as to consider such expenditures in the light of an investment? Surely the movement and the expenditure are not without the touch of self interest. It is rather hard to Imagine large ex penditure of that character simply as an altruistic effort to persuade Iowa her own good, an educational cam paign to teaoh the Iowa voter bow to cast his own ballot? Compared to other state, and especially with West Virginia, lofera does not suffer toy Com parison in the Intelligence ol her voters and their ability to attend to their own business. Then why this In flux of hireling political workers from other state* and especially with West ness? If a candidate for mayor were to come before the voters of the average Iowa city with the backing of every bootlegger, blind plgger, wide opener, gamber and all who depend on easy money, the profits of vice and ex ploitation of the weak and heiploea It would damn his campaign in the eyes of the public with Justified suspicion whatever his private character might be.

Prohibition has had the same can exPerience 818 temperance had its simi lar experience. And who shall defend the company that anti suffrage keeps with liquor Interests, child labor and the like championship? The suggestion is that the Iowa voter knows the way to the polls with out an agent from West Virginia or Colorado, paid by the Lord knows who, guiding him on either side and whispering instructions in his ear. Topics of the Times British estimates of German losses are 2,000.000 men. Or in other words the voters of three states like Iowa. It isn't particularly against Mr. Bryan is it that he should be defeated as a delegate to the national conven tion of his party by liquor votes? Seems like the party and not Mr. Bryan got the worst of it In that deal. Mr. Bryan needed something of the sort to strengthen him. That national guard of ours num ber almost 130.000 men and seems like it would do for an emergency like that in Mexico. Of course the boys couldn't fight Great Britain or Germany or Japan without help but they ought to be able to take care of the American border in fine shape. When the unknown man from sm other state comes In to tel^ you how to vote in Iowa it Is Just as well to inquire into the basis of his activity. Those lads are not running around paying hotel expenses and giving their time merely as a good health process. Somebody pays. Why and for what? A northern Iowa newspaper warns a congressional candidate that he can't get support by promising a federal building. Why not? When did things change to a degree,no astonishing? Funny thing again, the man who knows that a good horse is worth so much money and that an automobile sells for just so much and no more sometimes thinks he can have almost everything in the way of public im proveemruts for the same taxes that his grandfather paid. It isn't so. Folks have to pay or promise for ev erything they get nowadays. And they can get more for public money than they ever did. The liquor interests' campaign against intemperance was slow start ing. The prohibitionists seem to have beaten them to it. Anyway cultivat ing temperance with a saloon looks like a queer way of suppressing an evil. One of the wise things to do every spring is to gather up all the broken chairs and truck your wife laid away in the lumber room with the idea that it might came in handy some day and save an extra ton of coal with it. It Ls easy to kill five or six million men in a couple of years and spend untold millions of money flghting but it takes a long term of years to re place the men and pay the debts. Henry Vollmer talked more than Congressman Hull but he didn't at tract the attention that Hull aroused with a few words in connection with that reimbursement bill. IOWA OPINION AND NOTE8. "Mr. Wilson's victory would appear to be purely technical. On the other hand Emperor William has scored a point in strategy," says the Muscatine Journal. "But Mr. Cosson sayes it is not-true —he practically calls Mr. Allen a liar, and there the Issue stands. Allen wlil have to make good, or quit,' says the Cedar Rapids Republican referring to Allen's charge that Clarke and Oos son framed up the governorship. "The friends of temperance should maJte no mistake. They should make choice between Allen and Cosson," says the Scranton Journal. "Harding's record absolutely proves that he is for a 'wet' Iowa and if more evidence were needed it is the fact that he is being endorsed and supported by the 'wets' In the river towns, and the tvtf ther fact that be absolutely refuses in the face of what he calls a campaign of siarider to declare himself in favor of prohibition."

[Wallace's Farmer,] The extension department of the Arizona Agricultural College1 l*ae rend ered a service to the people of that state by making a vigorous protest against the indiscriminate boosting of its agricultural resources. They say: "A gr«at deal of the complaint on the part of business men, chambers of commerce, and others, regarding the failure of farmers to make a success, has been merely the result of the un businesslike advertising which has at tracted scores of new settlers to this state. Too many of these settlers have come to Arizona with the idea that they could get rich quick. The sooner the boosters of Arizona agricultural resources learn what scientific, con structive advertising is. and the sooner our farmers and new settlers realise that farming means careful planning backed up by expert advice and hard work, the sooner Arizona agriculture will be put on a sound financial basis." What is true of conditions in Ari zona has been true of most western states. Unscrupulous promoters have, during the pa^ ten years, taken thou sands of farmers from the central corn belt to the semi-arid lands of the western states. They have told them that a great change has come about in the dry country, that the rainfall is steadily increasing as the land is plowed up that the trouble with the farmers who have been living there ls listant Hah* Stain Batter Than Slow "laahjrert" An ot tone Insist months, when nearly evertr Wan in by MeBride Will Dru$ CompansvXMd putolJc lif» iboutfbt JfliM of.-f^es «nd Reliable Drug Company.
