NAMING COUNTRY ROADS.

An Illinois farm journal notes appre-
ciatively that i'll certain sections Of that
state county. boards of supervisors are
promoting the naming Of the country
roads and in many instances appropri-
ating the requisite funds for the erec-
ton of road signs at crossroads, each
sign giving the name Of the highway.
1t is simply an extension Of the system
of designating city streets.
All this is in line with the develop
ment of rural life which has been sur
prisingly great since the establishment
of rural mail routes and the institution
Of the telephone lines that bind the
country homes together in close COM
munity. Not 81 principal highway in
Iowa today that has not some distin-
gushing name. Some of these old
time stage roads still hold their names
the four wheeled avant couriers Of
mail cars and Pullman palaces bumped
behind four-horse teams from Lake
Michigan to the Missouri. To name the
highways would be a convenience to
travellers. spur to highway impreve-
ment and would give the wide stretches
Of country road locality, something at
present largely lacking.
The historical and sentimental oppor-

finite. What name would lbe so appro-
pirate for country road as that of
the pioneer whose sod shanty evolved
into frame house, his straw stable in
to board shed, to develop later into
the splendid mansion and huge barns
that the growth and prosperity Of the
state he founded have made common in
Iowa. Every county is rich in the ira
ditions Of the pioneers. What stronger
name could certain Marshall county
highway have than Mormon Ridge?
There is question in the name and
with its answer comes the pitiful story
Of starvation, cold and pestilence en-
dured by the women and children of
the Mormon hegira pushing toward their
Canaan, caught and held in the rigors
of an Iowa winter. Would Arson road
be a misnomer for the highway where
by the army of invasion brought the
county seat from Marietta?
The Illinois supervisors have set an
excellent example to those of other
states. Let us name our country roads.
Let the farms be named along these
roads. 1t is charming idea and in
the line of progress and culture.

MR.. RAnkIn's SWORN STATEMENT.

A. C. Rankin, the author of the state
Marshals bill, which was killed in COM
mittee, is out with a sworn statement
charging Doctor McCash with bad
faith, and half column of more or less
caustic comment directed at Governor
Cummins. Mr.. Rankin swears that DR..
NcCash made an agreement with him
to put the anti-saloon league behind the
marshals bill and afterward broke his
pledge. The anti-salooh league oppo-
sition to the bill Mr.. Rankin confines
to three men, McCash, HouSer and
Dunshee "A hostile governor secretly
backed by the leaders of the league" is
Mr.. Rankin's explanation of the defeat
of his constabulary scheme.
Mr. Rankin is sore, naturally very
sore. The stillbirth of his marshals
bill in Iowa Isl the eliminating defeat
Of years of intensely purposeful effort
on the part of Mr.. Rankin. His fight
In Dakota ended In disappointment.
He has since gone up and down in
Iowa urging stricter enforcement of the
liquor laws, In which the vast majority
Of Iowans agree with him, and his
state marshal's bill as the legislative
panacea for all the ills of the liquor
traffic in Iowa. A born optimist, he
construed the expressed temperance
sentiment of the state into support
Of mis- particular scheme Of enforce
ment. It's failure broke his heart. When
an optimist fails he goes to pieces for
the time.
But Mr.. Rankin will gain nothing by
attacking honorable men who differ
from him in their opinion of the state
marshals bill. Accusation and attempt
ed elimination under the circumstances
are simply evidences Of weakness.
However much Mr.. Rankin may have
deceived himself as to the force Of the
marshals movement, it actually had lit
tie strength in the state. It needed no
conspiracy to defeat 1t. It failed to Sc
cure the support of prominent public
men or powerful newspapers and the
reasons for this failure were in the
bill itself, not in any lack of true tenn
perane sentiment among the rank and
file or the political leaders of the state.

Any delegated power exercised by the
commission is really on par with a
legislative act of congress itselfV There
is only one court of competent juris-
diction,' so far as an act of congress
is concerned. and that Is the supreme
court of the United States. There rail-
road fellows know this, but what they
are seeking is to get his power to set
aside rate granted to the lower
courts, as, for instance, the United
States circuit court. What we want
and what we will contend for is that
the rate as fixed by the commission
shall take effect and stay in effect un-
less modified or rescinded by the COM
mission Itself or declared unconstitu-
tional-that is confiscatory-by the
United States supreme court. There
is world of difference between these

The successful man believes first of all

from policy, but from principle; he eonsid
ers success. lacking self.approbation, as
failure in disguise.
He pushes for more business in busy
seasons, and, if customers are scare, still
purSues.
He practices strict business economy, but
does not eondescend to penuriousness.
He is not utterly defeated by defeat
nor careless from success.
He pays promptly and collects as he
pays, rather than pay as he collects.
He is courteous in manner and appreei-
ates the commercial value of cordiality.
lie thinks first and deeply, and speaks
last and concisel y.
He possesses executive ability to degree
which renders him appreciative Of the val
liable points in employees.
He is careful of details, knowing that
they are the mortar which binds operations.
He realizes that the prime object of
business is to make money, and he, there
fore, refrains from extreme competition in
prices.
True enough, but the successful man
does something else. He advertises.
