DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR IOWA CITY PROHIBITING "JAY WALKING" Yet hath one such exalted hour Upon the soul redeeming power; And in its strength, through after days, We travel our appointed ways. —Frederick L. Hosmer. The Turk is a very undesirable tenant in Europe. Mexican "revolutionists," 'these days, live about as long as Jonah's gourd. Back of every motion-picture should be purity of motives and clean ideals of scenario writers, actors and producers. Then there would be no need of censorship. Do your part, individually, toward preventing fires. If each and every one did this, conscientiously, the fire menace in this country would be minimized. Everybody should be careful in traffic—even those who criticize everyone else but themselves for being careless. Ottentimes the loudest critics are the worst offenders against the rules of safety. It behooves the United States government to let the Turkish Nationalist leaders know that this country strongly reprehends and condemns such atrocities as those which were perpetrated by the Turks at Smyrna. Conservation of natural resources, for the benefit of the people, should be the rule of State and Nation. But conservation should be of such form and nature as not to obstruct the orderly course of needed development of resources. Militarism never should exist in this country—not even a semblance of it. But this Nation wisely and properly should keep itself reasonably well prepared to defend itself, should it be attacked wantonly from They do some things very well indeed in the small cities and towns. There is the little burg, Iowa City, for instance. One hardly would look to a small town in an agricultural state for model action for the breaking up of the dangerous practice of "jay walking." And yet Iowa City has an ordinance which many of the larger cities might copy with advantage. The Iowa City ordinance forbids pedestrians to cut across corners in either the business or the residence district of the town. The time has come, in dealing with the traffic problem in all cities and towns, when restrictions should be placed upon pedestrians as well as upon drivers of automobiles and trolley cars. Many mishaps in traffic are due to the wilful disregard of the plain rules of safety by those who are afoot. Regulation and restriction should be impartial as between drivers and pedestrians. PREVENTION OF FIRES IS OF VAST IMPORT Carefulness with fire is deemed of sufficient importance by the president of the United States to warrant the issuing of a proclamation calling upon the people to observe "Fire Prevention Week." This country loses annually, from carelessness with fire, property valued at about one-third of a billion dollars. A vast proportion of this enormous sum could be saved, if reasonable care with fire were exercised. But there is too much unreasonable, heedless handling of fire—too much recklessness from which results loss of life and stupendous property losses. It has become a big economic question—how to prevent this utter destruction of properties on a scale so staggering. It is worth the thoughtful, earnest attention of all. "What makes me so sad Uncle Niles Turns that th' very politician howlin' about our jumpin' int' th' war, ex-Secretary Baker o' M less pacifist, are all votes." Sympathy shows home.

Conservation of natural resources, for the benefit of the people, should be the rule of State and Nation. But conservation should be of such form and nature as not to obstruct the orderly course of needed development of resources. Militarism never should exist in this country—not even a semblance of it. But this Nation wisely and properly should keep itself reasonably well prepared to defend itself, should it be attacked wantonly from any quarter of the world. Speculative gambling, like any other form of gambling, grows upon those who indulge in it. Thomas W. Lawson who made a fortune in Wall street, has lost it. And yet the lure of the gamble is upon him, even though he condemned it. It has become a big economic question—how to prevent this utter destruction of properties on a scale so staggering. It is worth the thoughtful, earnest attention of all. In thinking over how fires may be prevented, narrow it down to your own personal course of action and your own personal influence. By being scrupulously careful at all times yourself, you set a good example to others. And by cautioning any whom you find to be careless, you help on the good cause.

EDITORIAL TOWN IN REVIEW Man who collided with a fire truck was found not guilty. The wonder is that they found him at all—after a collision with a fire truck! The Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan has resigned. Probably wasn't making enough to fill the imperial gizzard. Three lawyers appointed to explain what the street car election is about have failed to say. Call in three tax-payera. Anyone who has seen a prizefighter's ears will know what is meant when sporting editors say, "The young man has all the earmarks of a champion." A Syracuse, N. Y., boy and one of his high school teachers have been married. That boy is going to learn something. A GIANT The body of a prehistoric man, 10 feet tall, is dug up on Tiburon Island, in the Gulf of California, according to the Mexican government. Was he-only of normal height in his day or was he a circus freak? No one will ever know. For some mysterious reasonnature draws a veil over the past, the past vanishing as the future unfolds, like the two horizone to a traveler. Haynes asks $9,125,000 to keep the U. S. dry next year. About that much is being spent daily to keep it wet. One safe world series bet is that New York will win. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS TRIBUNE TO THE PIONEERS Kansas City Star What a tide of life it was that broke past the Mississippi barrier just before the middle of the last century and poured over the great plains! A tide that overflowed the whole country only to break into spray, as someone has said, on the hundredth meridian, where scanty rainfall turned it back. They streamed along the trails in endless procession of covered wagons, drawn by horses or oxen. Diverging here and there, they took up the land, put up rude shacks, broke the sod, and began to bring the empire of the vast western valley under the plow. This was the history of Missouri and Kansas, and Iowa and Nebraska, and Minnesota and the Dakotas. The picture of those days is recalled by Herbert Quick's recent novel, "Vandemark's Folly." He constructs the past with wonderful vividness. In his pages the bold pioneers live again, with their mixed characters, their turbulent passions, their imperfect culture; but compensating for it all, their conquering energy. Jacob Vandemark, the Iowa pioneer, is the very embodiment of the qualities that, in spite of every difficulty and discouragement, built the flama and villages and cities of the western country. The men and women who surrounded him were not all good, not all bad, but all human. Even the villain of the drama, Buck Gowdy, heartless selfish, is still attractive in spots. The sons and daughters of the West are too little mindful of the hardship and toll, the ceaseless striving and denial, that entered into PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen Apparently France has tried everything except a collection agency. When war clouds hover, nothing so cools the fevered brow as a deficit. A hick town is a place where the police are forever annoying law violators. The road leading to Easy Street is littered with the trimmed remains of easy rparks. Offhand, we can't think of any more convincing argument against war than Austria. It becomes increasingly evident that discussion as to who won the war is purely academic. 'Masher fined for pinching girl's cheek.' Probably one of those boobs who must feel fresh paint to see if it is fresh. Home is a place where love is; a mansion may be no more than a house that jack built. The Puritans had their little faults, but they didn't put on masks while lynchings witen. When it comes to selecting a mayor, New York has a happy faculty of picking good ball teams. As a last resort, the doughboy might persuade Mr. Ford to shut down until the bonus is paid. Too darned many of those who travel the straight and narrow paths have minds just as narrow. Another advantage the bachelor has is that he can use his own judgment about changing to heavier union suits. If a woman has a puncture on the highway, all of the equipment she needs to get it fixed is a pretty face.

Muggy McGraw offered the Baltimore team $100,000 for one of its pitchers. This shows the value of a college training. Lightning hit a supreme court judge's house. It is not known what decision he had just made. COME ONE. COME HAUL Wanted—One or more teams.—Adv. Last year American women spent $28,800,000 on hair nets. Ain't we men awful? Mrs. Stillman wins the suit, but who gets the Indian guide? Jacob Vandemark, the Iowa pioneer, is the very embodiment of the qualities that, in spite of every difficulty and discouragement, built the farms and villages and cities of the western country. The men and women who surrounded him were not all good, not all bad, but all human. Even the villain of the drama, Buck Gowdy, heartless selfish, is still attractive in spots. The sons and daughters of the West are too little mindful of the hardship and toll, the ceaseless striving and self-denial, that entered into the godly heritage which is now theirs. The achievements of the first settlers of the continent are recognized in every school book. The men and women who drove back the frontier weeer worthy descendants of the builders of Virginia and Massachusetts. It was their spirit that Walt Whitman celbrated when he wrote: Come, my tan-faced children, Follow well in order, get your weapons ready, Have you your pistols? Have you yours sharp-edges axes?

Nature gets mighty little help in a drug store. Less law and less dancing would improve things more than a League at Nations. As a man's bank account increases, his heart takes the opposite direction. Philosophers are all males, probably because philosophy is not afraid of mice and does no gossiping. The distance between Liszt and those who try to reach him is longer than waiting for a train in a cold depot. For every scheme that works, there are a dozen or more that won't. About all there is to success is making the most of what you see out in front. There is plenty of virtue born in but most of it goes to waste.
