The annual meeting of the Des Moines
Commercial Exchange was held last
evening for the election of directors and
officers. This is body which does busf-
ress all the year round in the interest of
pes Moines and has had a great deal to
DO with the upbuilding of the city. 1t
was started in a small way few years
ago and has been power for good In
the city. The secretary of the exchange
at the present time is Milo Ward, known
pretty generally all over Iowa, especial
ly among the business men as having
been for years the head of a leading job
bins house. In his report to the ex-
change Mr.. Ward touched upon the
street fair and carnival which Des
Mones had last fall. and spoke plainly
about it. He said the horse show was
all right and the rest all wrong-and
in this sentiment everybody agrees with
him. But his suggestion for remedy,
by making the street fair different and
having such things as flower parades,
etc, is one that might we'll be made in
any city of the state. 1t is probable that
Des Moines will never again have
carnival OF licensed brutality and inde-
cency as last fall. Unless something
pretty and sensible and elevating is had
it will be nothing.
