The Times seeks to impress good
roads lesson, saying: The abominable
condition of the country roads in some
parts of the country is an objectionable
/ disgrace. A drive of a few miles is
almost enough to disgust a person with
the entire country. In some places
Il one is compelled to take a detour of
several miles to go a few miles and
in other places where this is not pos
sible owing to fences and fields one
must face an alternating array of deep
ruts, mud holes and mfres, sufficient in
number and magnitude to make the
driver extremely weary and the poor
horses mighty tired. Such roads are
a menace to the life of both man and
beast. This state of affairs can and
should be remedied.

be careful and not print his name on
the letter heads sent out to federal
office holders requesting the payment
of assessments and contributions for
the aid and support of the party. Clay
ton was very much in earnest about the
matter but Mr.. Spence did not attach
the same Importance to the request.
Consequently when the assessment
notices went out 70 the federal office
holders at Washington and to the Iowa
postmasters the letter heads bore the
names of the eleven committeeman,
Clayton among the others, either thru
the oversight of the chairman or his
failure to see the Importance of having
q new bunch of literature printed for
the accommodation of the man who
was a candidate against him for the
Craftsmanship q year ago.
In some way q copy of the letter head
reached John r Proctor of the civil
service commission, and Mr.. Clayton
was Immediately summoned before the
ton of his Violation of a rule of the
commission which prevents federal ems
ployes from taking part in local or 9th
er politics. Mr.. Clayton was in no po-
sition to explain, and the result was
that he was unceremoniously fired
from his treasury position
Clayton appealed to Secretary Shaw
for aid and Shaw went down to square
the matter with the civil service COM
mission. After a great deal of talking
and very much promising on the part
of Mr.. Clayton he was reinstated, and
is row drawing salary the same as
before. Clayton fights shy of the news
paper men in Washington now and
doesn't even want to see his name in
print.
Whether or not the incident will re-
suit in Mr.. Clayton's resigning his po-
sition as committeeman is a matter of
conjecture. 1t is also q matter of in
terest that Harry o. Weaver commit
tee1nan from the First district, is q
federal office holder. being now revenue
collector for the southern district of
Iowa. If the new ruling of the COM
mission as to Zealousness on the part
of federal employees in matters polit
ical is to be enforced as rigidly as the
scare which Mr.. clayton received would
indicate, an entire revolution in meth
DDS may be the result.
