YOUNG Men in Control.

Interviews with old business men

of the metropolis are now in the hands
of younger men than ever before. In
most of the thousands of Offices in the

A little girl, two years old, had been
taken to the farm for the first time,

little child at once replied: "a lot

lature was made up of an assemblage
of wild eyed lunatics.' remarks the

for such alarming talk? None what

OF some sixteen other states the Iowa
legislature is asking for legalized pri-
maries that will prevent repetition of
last summers disgraceful doings. 1T
is asking the railroads of the state to
give Iowa manufacturing establish

shippers In addition to these things
ii is asking for the election of United

safely bet your last dollar that the state

LET ROOSEVELT DIG THE CANAL.

Assuming that Roosevelt means what
he saws and that he is not available for
another term as president, the people
of this country should rise up in one
voice and demand that he be immedi-
ately named by his successor as chair :
man of the Panama canal commission.
The United States never undertook an
engineering enterprise OF such lmagnl-
tude on of such Importance to our own
safety and the welfare of all nations.
Already we have tried three great men
and they have turned tail and run.
The work is crying for a man who can
do things, who can dig. Such man is
Roosevelt
1t will require ten years time in
which to complete the canal. When
accomplished the man who has served
thru these ten years as generalissinlo
of the shovel brigade will have dug
deeper into the imperishable slabs of
history than, will have any president
not excepting the man who Won the
Noble peace prize. the father of the
square deal or the promoter of railway
rate regulation.
What to do with our ex-presidents
has long been a problem in this coun-
try. Most of them have been SO far
along in years by the time they reached
the White House that death has solved
the problem in few short years from
the day they left it. But Roosevelt is
comparatively young man. If he gets
hunting trip every year he bids fair
to live forever. He must find something
to do and there is nothing more in need
of doer just now than the canal en-
terprise. Put the rough riding presi
dent at 1t. 1t is Just about his size.

Fearing, March 5.-For over two
years the writer has not visited these
towns along the Story City branch, Till
last week. And two years has made
many changes, busness-wise, and no.
ticeable improvements. New buildings
have been erected, sidewalks changed
to cement, new residences, bank build :
ings, churches and school houses erect
ed. New firms with much larger
stocks OF goods are in evidence. All
this Is natural sequence of the pros
perity OF the farmer, but few trunk
roads in Iowa, however, show the same
Improvement. The Iowa Central rail-
road, by its continued two-train serv-
ice, Is inviting some interurban cleo
trio line to run thru these towns. for
there is great Dissatisfaction with the
present system OF running trains. III
the Iowa Central would put on gaso-
line motor car service, a car every two
hours each way, IT would pay more

N THE MUD THE FIRST OF MARCH.

Looking out of a. car WindoW tnl;

Of a hay rack loaded with household
goods followed by "a second wager with
1.-THE box on and carrying the same kind

hind and a boy on horseback driving
three yearling calves. somebody in the
car remarked, 1T must be the first OF
March" The whole outfit was fairly
waIlowing thru bottonless roads folorr
and detected in appearance.
"A prosperous looking gentleman past
middle age with all the appearance Of
having been a farmer, perhaps now re-
tired, ventured the opinion that
farmers move at the wrong time OF
year. To his mind there was no me-
cessity Of waiting until the first OF
March to move or to transfer farms
He thought the first Of January would
be far better date. Tenants could
then exchange what little feed they had
left, the roads would make hauling
much easier and there would be more
time in which to get ready for the
spring work.
The newspaper man, of course, was
not expected to know much about
farming but there are mighty few
newspa per men who do not know a great
rs 4 90
deal about everything, SO this newspa-
per man volunteered that he thought
farmers moved too much. He believed
that if tenants should rent for fve
year periods instead Of one they would
not, os,lv. not move thru the mud SO
much at the first of March, but they
could afford to rotate their crops, fer
itilize their farms, gather more stock
around them and the farm owner could
afford to paper and paint the house
fix lplthe buildings and stand more ex-
pense for Improvements, while both
would come out with better returns.
The successful farmer agreed with the
newspaper man entirely but believed
the reform impossible with the average
tenant. why? Do the owners of rented
farms look for tenants now on five
year leases? Or are they satisfied with
the fellow who wades thru the mud
the first of March.

practically the same that the Iowa leg
islature is being urged to provide for.
1t is said that several of the larger
cities of Kansas will adopt the plan,
which is made optional at the decision
Of the voters.
The system seems to the average
business man prolific of probabilities
of good; that it may be abused is
equally without question. City govern
ment is business proposition quite
as much as the management of fac
tory or a wholesale grocery. The ques-
ton of selection of managers comes to
quite as much in the one case as in
the others
Under the Kansas law in cities of
the first class, the mayor acts as COM
missioner of the police and fire depart
ments, and the other four commission
ers fill the offices of commissioner of
finance and revenue, commissioner of
water works, and street lighting. COM
missioner of streets and public im-
provements, and commissioner of parks
and public property. 1T is simply a
concentration of the city council plan.
The officials are elective. The mere
facts of the limitation. that the COM
missioners are elected at large and
that each fs sadd}ed with q nersonaI
and special responsibility to which he
alone must answer, constitute a long
step toward business administration
of business interests.

of the country should be passed by
congress, rates should be adjusted to
a fair return on the money found to
be actually invested" urges the Dies
Moines Register and Leader, land the
railroads should be as definitely taken
out of the hands of the stock gamblers
and masters of high finance as the
banks and insurance companies"
The Cedar Rapids Republican notes
there is a bill pending in the legisla-
ture which .forbids any doctor solicit
ing professional patronage by letter
or by agents" and asks why not
make it illegal for aldoctor to announce
even on a sign board that he is an NJ.

not put every doctor under a bushel

to overthrow it in the courts

that the two-cent fare will make
