A GOOD ROADS TRAIN
Burlington Road Will Bring Their
Special Train to this City
Thursday, Oct. 26th.

4 The Burlington road has taken up the
matter of good roads il earnest and is
going to do all in its power to interest
the farmers and business men of Iowa
III pushing the project. The success
which attended the seed corn special
which they ran last spring has prompt
ed them to take up the matter of
running special good roads train, the
railroad company paying all expenses OF
the train. The train will arrive at
Leon on Wednesday evening, Oct. 18th
and Will remain in Leon all day Thurs
day, the 26th, going to Charlton that
evening.
With the train will be Mr.. D. Wanl
King, of Maitland, Mo-, the originator
of the King road drag which has been
used all over the country with great
success on common dirt roads, and also
Prof. Mcdonald, of the Iowa State
College at Ames. The train does not
come here for the purpose of selling
road drags or ANYTHING else but the
idea is to give instructions and a
| practical demonstration in making good
dirt roads without any machinery ex.
| cept road drag. 1t will not simply
be lecture OF stere, type form on the
subject, but they will actually make
several blocks of the roads right i'm the
town and show how it is done. All that
is asked of Leon is to provide a team
for the drag and place of meeting
where the lecture following the demon
stration can be delivered.
1t is to be hoped that the business
men of Leon will take hold of the
matter and co operate with the railroad
company. Why not make holiday
out of tbs day, and call it Good Roads
Day A meeting will be held at the
court house in Leon on Friday of this
week, at which every citizen of the
town is requested to be present to ap.
point committees to take charge of the
work.
Ii is certainly commenlable spirit
which the railroad is showing in this
matter, and it will cost them large
sum OF money to run this train, but they
realize that good roads means prosperi-
ty not only to the railroads but to the
businessmen and farmers alike. The
good road question is one in which all
classes of people are interested in, and
when we improve our country roads it
will mean an increase in the value of
every acre of farm land in the county,
and an increase in the amount of bust
ness done by our merchants.
Don't forget to attend the public
meeting on Friday night of this week
and by your presence encourage the
good work.

rest than we do for the man who is not
glad 10 return to his work again. We
believe in working consclentiously when
you work. In playing conscientiously
when you play. The further you can
get away from your work when the
time comes to play the better off you
viii be when the time comes to work
once more. Every man and every wo-

it should be as complete as possible.
There is something wrong about a
man who doesn't feel an almost over

vacation is either welded to the pur-
suit of the dollar or he is afraid that
during his absence his employer viii

worker is the better for his period of
rest Nor is it necessary to go away
into the mountains, to the seashore or
to some far-away point for the rest.

beautiful rest in your own dooryard?

RAILRoADINe IN CHINA.

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain Bret Harte has in
formed us, 1.-The heather Chinee is pc
culiar." Recent developments in China,
however, indicate that the Celestial has
by no means acquired d corner on ways
that are dark. The story has to do
with railroad development in China
Let us begin at the beginning.
Some years ago China became eS-
ceedingly anxious for railway from
Peking to Canton. She did not want
a political railway, however, and there
fore was averse to granting the con-
cessiOn to any of the great European
powers 1t was at this point that Bel
gium came to the front with a prOpo-
sition. Belgian capital, it was stated,
would interest itself in the undertake
ing and push 1t through TO completion
China gladly, almost gratefully, granted
the concession.
The work was started, but before II
had gone far China discovered that
Russia was behind the project in a
covered way. The Belgians were in the
employ of some Frenchmen and the lat
ter were representing Russians. The
Belgians, consequently, were barred
from the southern half of the line and
Sheng, the Chinese director of rail-
ways, looked to the United States cas-
the country least likely 10 have a po-
htical interest, for help. American
capital WAS found and a company or
ganized. The southern concession was
granted to it ana Sheng thought his
troubles we're over. They had really
only begun.
Within a short time J. Pierpont Nor
gan acquired a controlling interest in
the company. Mr.. Morgan didn't want
the railroad for himself. He sold it
to King Leopold OF Belgium. who now
owns a two-thirds interest in it. Sheug
was Jared again. This time he was
SO Indignant that he threatened to cam
eel the concession. The Americans in
terested appealed for help from the
state department, butts in order to Sc
cure this il was necessary to get the
control away from the Belgian king
Then China, which has shown for
bearing disposition throughout, made
another proposition
She bid 100000 for the American
concession. The experts say this is
about twice as much as the property
is worth. but China is so DESTROYS of
keeping out the Russians through the
Belgians that she is willing TO go to
unreasonable lengths. The matter is
now under consideration. Mr.. Morgan,
it viii be remembered, recently visited
King Leopold. The raiirbad question
was undoubtedly discussed and If
Leopold is wise he viii let it go. other
wise. China would be perfectly justified
in canceIling the concession.

PEACE PROSPECTS.

There is very little reasaon for be-
lieving that, when the Russian and
japanese peace commissioners get to-
Sether at Portsmouth they will not
agree on terms that viii be mutually
satisfactory. Nobody seriously sup
poses that the matter will be adjusted
in an hour or day or u week. Indeed
it is quite probable that the negotia-
tions will extend until late in the fail
But that Russia will finally accede to
the Japanese terms is generally be-
lieved.
just what these terms are to be the
world is yet to learn authoritatively
The whole conduct of the proceedings
prior to the war and of the war itself
indicate that Japan Will not make any
unreasonable demands. \ prominent
Japanese official was quoted not long
ago as saying: 1.-THE japanese are not
angels" They are not; they are hu-
man beings bearing some degree Of
similarity 70 the rest of us. But they
are human and reasonable.
There is likely To be a difference Of
opinion on the point as to what is
humane and reasonable. The Russians
is very moderate indeed. Well, would
it be moderate for the Japanese to in
sist on holding Port Arthur. to demand
unrestricted trade in Manchuria, a Ko-
reau protectOrate and an idemnity of
about billion dollars? Russia would
probably consider those terms unreas-
enable, but are they2
Is not Japan entitled TO hold the port
she shed so much blood to win? Is it
possible that Russia viii contend for
the REIMBURSEMENT OF this hard-won
prize? Unrestricted trade in Manchu-
ria is Essential to the commercial ex-
istence of Japan and that existence
would be threatened, even though guar
anteed by Russia, unless Japan main
tanned a Korean DrOtectorate. These
facts viii be generally admitted.
The indemnity question is the one that
is likely to cause the hitch. Russia
does not like the idea of paying any
indemnity at all. 1t has been said that
rather than pay money to japan. Rus
STA Will continue the war. That sort
Of talk is idle. Russia is in no con
dition to continue to fight japan, and
nobody knows the fact better than the
Russians themselves 1t is their duty,
therefore, to make the best terms pos
sible- And Japan can afford to be
generous, for the war has advanced
her from a sixth to frst-rate power
and given her a prestige far more val
liable than any indemnity could pos
sibly be.
