Press Partisanship Again TUST one more return to that old question: "Re- solved that there are too darned many republican, newspapers in Iowa," and we'll bid goodby to the subject. What follows is from the editorial pen of J. C. Hammond of the Decorah Journal: "Quite a bit of comment has been stirred up by the views expressed by Fred Biermann, Earl Hall in the Mason City Globe-Gazette, Bob Burlingame and the Journal regarding the freedom of the press and political and economic influences on the press. "Usually the Journal refrains to some extent from talking shop or commenting on newspaper matters and newspaper views.

However, it believes that when nine of ten papers take a republican editorial viewpoint the percentage of republican papers as compared with the number of democratic and republican readers is decidedly lopsided. "We doubt that any election in Iowa in the past eight years has been decided by a 90 per cent vote. As a matter of fact records show that Roosevelt and the late Mrs. Alex Miller leading the ticket, received only about 53 to 54 per cent to be elected by In 1936 Nelson G. Kraschel defeated George Wilson for governor not over 1 or 2 per cent "Even in the 1938 election, Kelson Kraschel probably the poorest vote getter on the democratic ticket, lost not more than about 55 per cent to 45 per cent.

"Thus with elections determined, by such narrow margins, it does not seem right that there should be nine of ten papers republican or democratic, when there is a fair balance in the Concerning Mr. Hammond's contention that there should be some relationship between party vote and newspaper attitude, we would say this: If the republican to democratic trend of the past few years developed a permanence, there would doubtless be a change in the ratio of 9 republican newspapers to 1 democratic. We have in mind, of course, the situation in the south where republican newspapers are as scarce as diamonds in a chickenyard. There simply hasn't been any clientele for a republican newspaper. One point, however, on which we can agree completely with Mr.

Biermann and Mr. Hammond is that the democratic party is entitled, as matter of fairness and good government, to have its viewpoint presented through the press. Futile Gesture-At Least QZECHO-SLOVAKIA still exists-in the United a i 5 TM pe: the map ol Europe by Adolf Hitler, but in Washington its flag still flies over the Czech legation, where Colonel Urban Czech, envoy, has refused to surrender his charge to the demands the German embassy, and where the American state department has recognized his standing. I i a curious situation, and probably the Amencan position will be of little help to the Czechs, although it does permit the salvaging of Czech government funds on deposit in this country and keeping them out of German hands In view of the Germans' desperate need for gold and foreign exchange to bolster their overstrained domestic economy, that might be a shrewd blow But most important is the evidence which the situation gives of the uncompromising hostility of the United States to the nazi government. Just to make sure the point was not missed, the state department's note to Germany, refusing recognition of the Czech conquest, in violation of all diplomatic etiquet was not read and handed to the German representative at thc state department, but was handed in at the door of the embassy by a motorcycle messenger.

This can only be considered a diplomatic slight, a gesture of contempt doubt constnjed in Bcrlin Support of Colonel Urban in his refusal to rec- the dissolution of his country may be dc-but it is seriously to be questioned if a unsh contempt against a nation with whom tins country has no national quarrel is worthy of our government Overwhelming public opinion in the United States opposes the but pm-pncking insults seem out of place. Japanese Competition q-MfAT was quite an interesting story that came from Omaha to the effect that 200 people in that city are in danger of losing their jobs because of the decision of the customs court in New York that brushes used by the women for placing Sis anH 0 fin emai a "camel hair pencils and not "toilet brushes." Two Omaha men several years ago devised such brush with a and built up an immense business an "TMlar court "Bly them to be camel hair pencils and the originators say they cannot compete with Japan CCnts for 12 TM In the circumstances it is not believed that many women in this country would purchase the Japanese brushes if they were aware that they were doing so. In the first place they would want to assist in keeping the Omaha people em- 4 -T -ili- they would not assist that 1 should be so high on anything coming from Japan, that can be made in this coumrV as to make importation impossible. That is a very effective way of fighting the Nipponese.

DAILY EYE WASH UNNECESSARY -'PHE eye needs no treatment to keep it A healthy if it is already healthy. I mean that ftself wfth 5 WaSh 7 ecessar y- The eye washes itself, with a constant flow of a neutral lubricating TM ed by thc lachrymal, or tear, glands i antise a prevents the growth of germs under ordinary circumstances It washes out 01- dissolves all sorts of diSt and foreign matter which naturally gets into the eyes on account of their constant exposure to the air. To put drops in the eyes at night or in the morning, or to use an eye cup to wash them when there is nothing the matter, is not only unnecessary but positively likely to bring on trouble as the eye wash probably weakens the defenses. The eye, however, as we say, is constantly exposed to irritation and infection, and sooner or later in 2 11 the defenses break down an cumbs. There is hardly any human being who has not once had a case of pinkeye, or at least irritation of the lids with some little gummy secretion in the morning.

When these minor irritations occur, it is then time to use the boric acid-- a saturate solution-either dropped in the eye with a medicine drop- pe ror used in an eye cup. The eye cup should be nearly filled with the solution. Lean over at your washstand, press the eye firmly into the eyecup, then throw the head back, and with the eyecup held partly by suction, open and shut the eyelids rapidly four or five times until the eyeball is completely cleansed. The boric acid should cause no pain or discomfort, but on the contrary should be soothing. In i ns alo the lids, consisting of 1 hcle infections, hardly big enough to be called styes, are annoying and should be treated with a 10 per cent solution of alcohol gently brushed over the edge of the lid with a cSmel's hair brush.

An old, reliable remedy for this is ointment of the yellow oxide of mercury, standard strength. Many oculists, however, think this old remedy is ineffective and prefer ointment of zinc sulphate. In conjunctivitis, which is the stylish name for pinkeye, fcr an acute form, the latest advice is that we can save six to eight days on discomfort by using one-half per cent solution of zinc sulphate Boric acid is too weak in these cases and areyrol' a favorite remedy, in the solution of 10 per cent has comparatively little effect in cases of acute conjunctivitis.

"Iowa, Old and New" was pleased to have a copy of a new book, "Iowa Old and New," from a Lincoln, publishing house i was pleased because it was from the pen of my old friend, Doctor John Ely Briggs of the University of Iowa, and quite largely, I think it is made up of the material which was presented in the columns of this newspaper a few years ago under the heading, "Exploring Iowa's History." The volume begins with the prehistoric phases of our region, when Iowa was under a glacier or several glaciers. The final chapter of the book is on "The Little Brown Church," of special inter- est, of course, to North lowans Throughout the book there are OBSERVING effective illustrations of the subject matter.

In fact this is one of the volume's charms. The work is designed to make Iowa history "easy to take" and I should think that it would be extremely pop- ulaf in the schools. Modern Robber King have been reading vdth great interest lately about' the discovery of the tomb of Shishak, robber king of Egypt who ruled at the time of King Solomon, the news columns made' mention of this account set forth in the first book of Kings in the Old Testament: "And it came to pass in the fifth' year of King. Rehoboam, that Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem. ''And he took away the treasures the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house; and he even took away all; and he took away all of the shields of gold which Solomon had made." They found Slushak's mummi- lied remains in a delta of the Nile The body itself rested in a silver sarcophagus.

It was contained within a gold coffin. In the tomb were containers of various sizes and shapes for gold ornaments and semi-precious stones. That happened centuries ago ihe other day a dictator rode into Czechoslovakia, and after the fashion of Shishak sacked the temple, and 24 hours later when he rode out again his armored cars contained all of the gold-more than 80 millions of it. It is possible that Hitler may" die some day, and to keep history straight they ought to bury all of the gold with him so that 4000 yeai-s from now there will be as well as written evidence that in his piratical days he sacked Prague.
