PLEADS FOR A NATIONAL EXPOSITION.

The Washington Post suggests that
the advantages of the big expositions
might be made permanent by institute
ing permanent exposition at the ma
tional capital. where the agricultural.
mineral, and other natural resources
Of each state can be fully displayed, to-
gether with the development of manu-
features of advances in science, of
progress in art, the whole forming the
position of the world
The Post argues that every dollar
invested by the states would be re-
turned to them hundred fold by the
information conveyed to the millions of
visitors to the exposition. The state
buildings would be objects of pride to
the citizens of the respective states,
and would be used as permanent state
headquarters at the capital of the ma
ton. Thousands of the best classes
of Europe would annually visit it.. and
both our foreign and domestic COM
merce would be vastly benefited. If
this should be done, Washington would
become the very center of education,
science and art-tthe Mecca for the ac-
tivelminded, energetic people of all
classes from all quarters of the globe.

LAFE,s ARGUMENT HOLDS GOOD.

Another of the instances wherein
LATE oYung told the truth is given
space in another column. Mr.. 1oungs
attitude toward the truth in politics
is remindful of the old citizens regret
full complaint when he spoke of mince
pies. NO one he complained, ever
loved 'em better or got less of EN- y
So with LATE, no one knows more truth
in politics or has told less of it. Con-
sequent1y his x-year-old articles tell

cumstances like a jewel in a pigs
nose.
torious lobbyist shrewd enough, Mr..
Young thought, in 1899, to test the
sharpest talent of the internal regions.
The same gentleman is doing business
at the old stand in 1906. He is neither
dead nor departed. He bobbed serene
ly up during the railroad press bureaus
work last summer. He is just as per-
niciously shrewd today as he was then.
Mr.. Young does not see him now, Or
if he does, he fails to mention It,.
"Closed carriages are one thing. Or
dinarily they have no connection with
closed eyes and closed mouths.
In 1899 Mr.. Young was certain that
senator's should be elected by direct
vote. He prophesied a change in the
constitution of the United States to
effect this The reason was, then, that
while senators are elected by legisla-
lures. every state will have it's Ed.
Hunters. But Mr.. Young is not an adj
vocate of statewide primaries where
in direct votes nominate United States
senators.
In 1899 during the contest for the
senatorship, Mr.. Young insisted that
men who want to do as they please in
politics, without climbing to an upper
floor in a hotel to ask anybody, fought
today to be fighting for A. B. Cummins
for senator Have conditions
changed?. Where is Mr. Blythe? Has
he ceased to draw his $4,000 salary
from the Burlington? Has he laid down
in Iowa politics? Were the corpora
tion forces ever more thoroughly or
ganized behind any candidate than be-
hind Mr.. Perkins? Substituting gov
ernor" for senator" ought not every
man who wishes to do as he pleases in
politics, without asking Joe Blythe, to
be out fighting for A. B. Cummins to-
day?

PAN AMERICAN.

When the first Pan American Con-
eress met it's authors and engineers
dreamed of a compact American
league that would stretch from the
Great Lakes to the Strait of Magellan.

plished and died with his faith I'M
shaken. His idea was to group the
weaker republics about the greatest In
a bond of brotherhood that should be
to the advantage of all.
In July next the third Pan Ameri-
can Congress will convene at RIO
Janeiro. but the dream is farther from
its fulfilInent than when the plumed
knight saw his vision of an all Amer
lean league led by the United States.
The second congress held four years
ago at the capital OF Mexico made
clear that the feeling Of the South
American republics toward this coun-
try was Of temper unlikely to re-
suit in closer relationship. The third
congress is likely to produce an eff
fervescence of courtesy, an overflow Of
fine words, with q meager buttering of
parsnips.
South American countries resent the
Monroe doctrine. The refuse the idea

The question will come before the

Our five delegates to the Pan American

ference and it is expected to receive
general assent. Mexico favors it, and
Mexico will have much weight in

All in all we are farther from a pan

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Year after year we put into history
the failure of some idealized plan to
minimize the effects Of the sale of in
toxicating liquors. The latest break
down is the South Carolina state dis
pensary law, and the citizens of that
commonwealth are, in full as much
haste to get rid of it as they were to
adont If. This state dispensary plan
has Joined the records of high and
low license, of prohibition and mulct
laws. In a general and true statement,
all laws. governing the sale of intoxi
cants are failures. Two factors work
to this end. The first is, the abuse of
any system of law, by those of uncon-
troIlahle habit The second is, the lack
of enforcement of such laws. To those
that claim that the enactment of any
law. especially one in advance of a
general public sentiment in its favor.
is educational these continued failures
must be disheartening.
All this easily brings up for discus
sion the present agitation in the Iowa
legislature. to enforce Sunday observ-
ances. by law 1t is not straining
point to claim that Sunday base ball

The relation of the nerves and gen.

he did, as a governor, and in the face

Mr. Perkins, who, while it may not be
possible to prove his affiliation with
the railroads, has at least never shown
the slightest indications of any desire
to properly curb them nor to push any
of the other popular reform measures
of the day. If Mr.. Perkins is elected
and the reservation vote is responsible
therefor, and as governor maintains
the same acquiscent attitude toward
live affairs that he has maintained in
the past, the circumstantial evidence
will be so strong as to practically con-
Wet. Mr. Perkins paper says that
Blythe is practically a dead one as
regards his influence in Iowa affairs.
This being the opinion of Mr.. Perkins
expressed thru his paper, the question
at once arises whether one who holds
Mr. Blythe's' political power so lightly
is the proper man to assume the gov
ernorship of the state in which SUCH
power finds its chief field of opera
