A regional editorial denounces selfish business practices harming towns as open markets expand. It criticizes self-styled business leaders, calls for fair treatment to boost home enterprises, and discusses political figures and national issues influencing Iowa and the nation.
Peace plan and politics mix in wartime critique
The piece criticizes Wilson and the League of Nations, brands the administration as obstructive, alleges sugar thefts and red tape, and laments demobilization delays. It mocks the Peace Conference party and calls for direct action to end Kaiser Bill's matter, while railing against Democratic leadership and bureaucratic waste.

The piece condemns the League of Nations argument as devolving into personal abuse of honest opposition. It argues the measure cannot benefit the United States or its people and dismisses critics as lacking brains or horse sense.
