DIES MONIES GAVE POOR ExHlBl
TlONS

The Des Moines Register and
Leader is throwing fit about the
city of Davenport. There are also
several people in Des Moines who are
mad at Davenport for the same rea-
son, but the fact is that the blame all
lies with Des Moines and not with
Davenport
1t is just a matter OF envy, because
Davenport can draw bigger crowd to
a boxing match than 1t seems possible
tc get at Des Moines However, the
Des Moines contingent ought not to
get "sore" and cry about that. Dav-
export simply put on a better grade
Of boxing matches.
The Register and Leader ought to
know that when 1t advertises some
thing that is not good, it cannot bring
lasting results. and Des Moines did
perpetrate some of the rottenest box
Ing matches that were ever pulled off
in any community. They were awful.
and they did not have even one good
one as bait. Every one was worse
than the other counting from either
end Of the series.
On the other hand, Davenport's box
Ing matches have been crackerjacks
They have had some of the highest
class ring performers-the elite, II you
please. Davenport introduced to its
audiences the Hon. James Gardner of
lowell, Mass, Prof. Abraham Attell OF
California, and Mr.. P. Mcfarland Of
Chicago, III. 1t is no wonder they
got the crowds.
Des Moines put on Booker Fox, 4
little colored boy, against an old
brolyon r7nuri, snort frorr, iuct ,Du
where, and is mad because Daven-
Pshaw, the Register and Leader ought
not to get sore about that. 1t is the
general opinion that if Des Moines
had put up as good a show as Daven-
port did, it would have had nearly as
large a crowd.
However, this boxing business IN
iowa has gotten to the point where
history is repeating itself. Boxing
exhibitions in community will run
along all right until the people in
charge of the shows develop some
spite work or jealousy and they kick
up such fuss that the authorities
cannot overlook it. This is usually
done by the organization or commun
ity that gives such poor shows that
they cannot get paying attendance
and then the promoter gets mad and
keeps nagging at the authorities to
slut off the other man. That is what
happened in the case of Davenport
and Des Moines Des Moines staged
a let of such rotten bouts that they
could not get a paying attendance
and then when Davenport brought or
some past masters of the art, the Reg
lister and Leader forced the governor

New Hampshire, Vermont and other
states are falling into line, and 1t Is
only a question of few years before
every state in the Union will have
Joined them.
The general scheme Of road i'm.
ton Of macadam or equally service
able roads between the chief points in
each county, SO laid out that they will
form continuous network through
out the state. The less important
roads are to be improved by methods
not SO costly. Macadam roads require
an outlay for construction Of from
$1,000 to $4,000 mile. This heavy
initial outlay would be too great
burden for the scattered population Of
the farming regions to bear unaided.
Outside help must be given, and mas
much as good roads increase the pros
perity Of the entire state the principle
Of state aid has been generally &C.
cepted as just. II has been adopted in
various forms by all the states which
have seriously undertaken the i'm
provement of their roads.
Even the portion of the expense
which falls upon the localities, is usu-
ally too great for them to meet by i'm.
mediate direct taxation, and here
again the state may come to their as
sistance by lending them its credit so
as to enable them to borrow money
at smaller rate of interest than they
would otherwise be forced to pay
Naturally, where the state helps to
build the roads, their location, con.
struction and maintenance must be
under state control through an official
or state commission. This insures
the laying out of the roads so that
they will form comprehensive state
system, and their maintenance In 9
condition of efficiency after they have
been built.
Another important branch of the
good roads movement is the introduc
ton of wide tires on wagons intended
to carry heavy loads. Narrow tire,
are road destroyers, while wide tirei
are road makers. The narrow tire
cuts the road into ruts, the wide tire
serves the purpose of roller in com

AS the incoming boat skirts the

see the fields more clearly-rows up
on rows of blossoms, tall, stately and
snowy white. 1t is very beautiful.
It was not until the early SOS that
the Bermuda lily became well known
In the United States. II is said that
Philadelphia woman, returning from
the islands. brought home, a plant to
bloom. This came to the attention of

of the Quaker city, who purchased a
lot of the bulbs, from which he sue

There Is only one monument In the
whole British colony of the Bermudas
and II is erected to the memory of
an American. This fact may seem a
bit strange until one has heard the
story. which is really a story of the
Bermuda lily, and of the man who
made 1t possible.
Many years ago-during President
Hayes administration. in fact-Gen.
Russell Hastings, who had made for
himself a brilliant record during the
civil war, was married in the White
House at Washington. He and his
bride went to Bermuda on their we'd
ding trip, and were so charmed with
the beauty Of the place that they re-
solved then and there to return, and,
II possible, to make 1t their perma.
nent abode. The climate, too, appeal
ed to them. (The general had been
seriously wounded In the war, and
was far from well)
A little later the two came again.
Not as tourists this time, but as home
seekers. In those days the now-exist-
ing law that none but English citizens
can own land in English colonies was
not In force. So General Hastings had
no difficulty in acquiring a large es-
tate. He chose picturesque site in the
little city of Hamilton, surrounding a
land-locked bay. Here he built his
home, "Sonci," which stands to-day
among tropical trees and luxuriant
flowers.
Not only did General Hastings at
once become deeply interested In the
| place, and in the possibilities for its
development, but he was genuinely
distressed at the poverty of the island.

tiers, he studied the climatic condi'
tons, experimental again and again
and at length his efforts were crowned
with success. 1t was found that our
present-day Easter lily, originally a
native of Japan, would attain In Der.
muda to a perfection of loneliness
hitherto unknown. The islanders were
soon pressed into service, and since
about 1876 the culture of lilies has
been not only their chief pride, but
their chief means of livelihood as well

kerchief which she wore on her helm

to be very deep.
