out: I'm all human probability he
would not live to the close of another
term of six years. For in 1915 ne

many, however who desire to have

''The plan is well thought out and

FACTS IN THE CASE.
(wapello Tribune)


It is not necessary to throw BRICK
bats at Senator Allison to find reason
able ground for urging a change in the
high office which he has already held
more than six times as long as any
man ever held the office OF governor
of Iowa. 1t is we'll known fact that
Senator Allison has recently been in
poor health, due to the infirmity of his
advanced age, and it is not likely that
any of those who are urging him to
declare his candidacy for a seventh
term, believe that he would live thru
it If chosen We can all remember that
under circumstances very like the pres
ent, our dear old Gear was, against
the wish of himself and his good wife,
pushed into reelection for a term
which he did not live to see. and which
neither he nor his immediate, friends
expected he could live to see. The
"boys" felt that Gear was the only
man in all Iowa who could prevent the
election of Cummins, and the same old
boys" are trying the same old game
now, and for the same old reason. It,
mattered not to them that the siren
uous campaign might shorten the life

Why IOWA LAND IS WORTH THE MONEY.

Senator T. J.Wornall, who recently
returned from Europe, said the show
T of aged bulls at the famous British
Royal show was far outdone by the
lineup at Des Moines, both in quality
and quantity, and Mr.. Robert B. Ogil-
vie the director of the International
Live Stock exposition. who also vis-
tied this years greatest of all shows
in. Europe. the Royal, at Lincoln, con-
firms Senator Wornall's opinion. The
shorthorns muster sO4 strong at the
Iowa fair, larger number than have
been seen at any state or national show
and Of superb qaulity. Best of all,
Iowa breeders and owners have no oc-
casion to take back seats as compared
with other exhibitors. OF other kinds
of cattle of swine and the varied prod
ucts of the middle west farm, Iowa
simply takes the ascendancy as mat
ter of conquest. We have the stuff to
do 1t with in Iowa.

the Chicago Livestock World, for ex-
ample, who think Iowa land too high,
should see and consider. Are the best

farm lands too high at from $50 to
$3.50 an acre? In Illinois corn land
sells as high as 1925 to $3.50 per acre
Why? When the answer is given, APP

Perhaps farm lands are running
pretty high in price to be the best form
of investment for the man who wants
big interest on his money. Iowa is not
particularly interested in that phase
of the question. Good farmers and
business men get rich on 160 acres OF
500 Iowa soil They are the men who
are crowding UP the price and paying
$3.50 an acre for exceptional farms.
They know better what it is worth
than any other class of men, editors or
otherwise. Those shorthorns belong to-
them. we can afford to bank on their

AH,NT7o THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

The governor of Iowa has issued
proclamation. quite as important as
most proclamations issued by himself
and other governors, urging county and
township officers to appoint and send
delegates to the Forthcoming annual
meeting Of the Iowa Good Roads AS
ISOLATION, to be held at Council Bluffs,
september ga. In connection with the
meeting. school of instruction in road
making and repairing will be held.
One of the larger factors in the i'm
provement to be noted in the conduct
of county offices has been the annual
meetings of the various associations OF
the officials who fill them. Men who
meet to discuss the best methods OF
performing their official duties learn
much from each other. More and bet
ter even than this, they bring away
sense of responsibility, the knowledge
that they are part of a movement to-
ward improvement. The office and it's
incumbent magnifies, and the meeting
sets stakes toward which it's personnel
strives thru the year intervening until
the next meeting. Few OF those who
attend upon the meeting Of the state
county attorneys, the auditors, sheriffs,
and other associations, fail to come
away broadened, strengthened and
more useful. OF all present move
ments, that of good roads is one of the
most important. The men who make
them and direct their making should
be at Council Bluffs.
We are all at one on the subject Of
good roads, We need them and recog-
nize the need. 1t is when the expense
is counted that we look at one another
with the question who is to pay?"
with farmers, builders and all sources
of labor employment overbidding each
other in the labor market, where are
we to find the labor wherewith to build
good roads, even were the money to
buy material in sight?
4 There is no serious paucity Of labor
If all men able to work We're obliged
to work. Here is a matter that the
delegates to the Council Bluffs meeting
might well debate and act upon. They
might with propriety urge on the state
assembly legislation that combines just
punishment, a prospect of reform and
a boost for good roads in Iowa.
Take notice. In the country as

the total number of prisoners COM
mitted during the year were sentenced
for some one of these three closely
allied offenses. No less than 25,098
prisoners, 1853 per cent of the total
number, were sentenced for larceny;
1887, or rs per cent for assaults, and
7.161, or AS per cent, for burglary.
These figures only partially represent
the vast army of Migrants. Thou
sands of able bodied men who belong
in the vagrant and criminal classes
escaped arrest or were turned loose by
weak magistrates to continue as para
sites and trouble-makers.
Why wouldn't it be sensible, eco
nomical and reformatory to set this
class and Its kindred classes to work
under three or six-month sentences on
the highways? In fact, why not set
every convict in the state making
roads? Can any good reason be given
why the habitual drunkard, whose pay
check, when he has one, goes directly
to the saloon till, should harbor in a
home held together by a wife who
takes in Washing? II he is able to
work, why shouldn't he be forced to
work on the roads at a stipend that
will keep roof over his children? Is
there any good reason why tin-horn
gambler should not work on the roads
or learn new trades Wouldn't So
ciety be better were every man who
lives on the shame Of women busy on
a roadside drainage ditch? Why
shouldn't the tramps cultivate shovel
eallouses like the section hands? In
short, why not make a law that would
permit us to make use of human by
product now worse than wasted? We
could make Iowa highways a system of
boulevards with the labor that is run
ming to criminal seed.
Let the delegates to the fourth an
nual convention of the Iowa Good
Roads Association consider all this
and more. If it looks. good to them,
why not jog the elbow of the next Iowa
legislature

Natural Gas
In MarshalltOwn

The invention of the Gem Oil
Burner has made 1t possible to
use coal oil or kerosene in any
locality and enjoy the advantage
Of natural gas for heating nur-
poses OF all kinds. This rev
method is cleaner and less de-
structiye to stoves than coal and
ii makes a regular, fresh fire at
all times, doing away with the
continued labor attending the use
Of coal or wood. It may be put
into any stove without changing
or damaging the latter in the
least, and will heat the largest
size cook stove or range sufficient
for family cooking for $50 per
month.
The Gem Oil Burner Company,
Of Willoughby. Ohio, Is the pro-
moter of these newly improved
burners and has brought this
system of heating all kinds Of
cook stoves, ranges, heating
stoves and furnaces up to the
acme OF perfection. The terri
tory thru this state will be rap
idly taken up by local agents.

are located for few days in Odd
Fellows building, with a cook
stove burner in operation, where

anime its workings.
