Greater Iowa State Fair.

CChlcago Live Stock World)
President C. E. Cameron and Sec
Rotary j. C. Simpson of the Iowa state
board of agriculture, and Prof. C. F..
Curtiss are planning some entirely
novel features for the 1908 fair. 1t is
intended to have evening shows in the
live stock amphitheater that will add
Immensely to the interest of the show.
First of all will be fine horse show
and parade of animals. In connection
with the horses will be displays of gem
uine German. Dutch, French and
English farm carts with various
bitches. The horse parade will be
followed by performances of trick pom
les and donkeys. The parade of beef
OK teams and trained steer exhibits.
The dairy cattle section will be en-
ivened by a corps of dairy school girls
from Ames, dressed to represent milk
maids of different countries from which
these cattle came. In the sheep sec
ton there will be parades of mutton
and wool breeds, each bunch herded
by genuine sheep dogs. There will be
an exhibit of the kind of the Judas
bell wether used at the Chicago stock
yards by the packers in leading the
focks to the place where their tails
are cut off just back of the ears and
their wool comes off with the hide.
The great new swine building will
be crowded, and whether or not there
will be creased pig events and illus
trations of how every part of a. pig
is used-even to the squeal in phon-
ograph-has not yet been fully de-
cided.
Something doing every minute,' is
the motto of the management of the
Iowa state fair this year." said Mr.
Cameron to the Live Stock World
They are planning to present the most
highly educational features ever given
at fair and by the use of family
tenting ground and free team shelter
are making 1t possible for whole fam
lilies to spend the week ut the small
est possible cost in money and effort
They are not overlooking the human
interest side of our show-the domestic
science demonstrations conducted by
the Iowa State College will have as
much to do with what is vital to the
happy. successful home life of the peo-
pie as the work in the other depart
ments are valuable in promulgating
and exemplfving the scientific hand
ling of breeding. feeding and cultural
principles.

VIII TINE G. O. p. COPY BRYANT

Il is being freely stated. especi-
/ ally by organs inimical to Presi-
|. dent Roosevelt and his policies. that
one OF the main issues which will be
! handled by the national republican
convention at Chicago this week Is the
question of government by injunction,
and we are asked to believe state
kment, apparently made In all serious
ness, to the effect that a determined
4 effort will be made to incorporate in
the national platform Of republican
policies plank fatty condemning
government by injunction. The re-
sponsibility for such plank would,
according to the narrators, be directly
traceable to the president and his WELL
known vigorous determination to do
things
II this is truly tho case, 1t may be
good hating place for consideration
before the republican party takes a
step that may have most undesirable
effect In adulterating Its chances for
success at the polls next fall. William
j. Bryan has long been accused of
wholesale thievery of republican poll
cies and desideratums, but that may
10 poor reason why the republican
party should seek to play even by TAX
ing for one of its chief war cries the
catch phrase which received more adj
vertising by the Nebraskan than 1t
ever had by any other man or set OF
men.

lawless saloon and the divorcing of
the saloon from politics.
There seems tn be a sincere effort
to make the saloon more respectable,
II not respectable. Possibly the liquor
business Is in the course of evolution.
The brewers and the retail dealers are
doing much talking and apparently are
doing moro thinking. Public sentiment
has started something along the lines
of real reform.
OF course to the radical prohibitions
list all saloons look alike. He sees no
difference and makes no distinction
between the gildt,d wine room where
men resort who wear the manners of
responsibility, and the grog shop which
caters to the tastes Of degenerates and
people who are just as sincere in their
temperance beliefs but who accept
other means to attain the same end.
there is encouragement in this new
attitude OF the brewer and the retailer
in relation to their own business.
Strict statutes and a strong public
sentiment behind them are and always
will be necessary for the control Of the
liquor traffic. When the brewers and
the saloon men, thru their various or
CARNATIONS, purge the business OF the
low dives, assist in driving every man
out OF the business who violates the
laws of the states and the regulations
of the unicipalities-when sales to
minors and to drunkards cease, when
the saloon divorces itself from the
gambling and hawdy houses - the
cause of temperance will have been
advanced and the liquor business will
have been placed ON a higher plane of
decency Part way up the ladder is
Just that much nearer out of the pit.

BETTER ROADS FOR IOWA.
(E,opdo rTiv,ocN

Iowa has for years stood at the top
of the column in educational affairs;
the state has provided the nation
with many eminent men; in the pro-
ductiveness Of her farms she is I'M
equaled; but in the construction
Of hard roads this commonwealth is
near the bottom of the list, standing
close to Mississippi and below Mis-
souri,, Indiana, which has definite
system Of road building, has $4,000
miles OF hard 1oads-Mneal mileage
enough to encircle the globe.
Ttirty-five per cent OF Indiana's high
ways are hard roads.
While the tariff is important and
railroad rates dt, affect the prosper
ity OF the farmer, to how much greater
an extent the prosperity of the farmer
is dependent on the kind OF roads he
must travel from his farm to his mar
ket perhaps only he can tell. Itwould
seem reasonable at least that move
ment in favor OF better highways
ought to receive the support of the
farmers OF the state. Here is an OPP
portunity for the, reformer to get. a
hearing. Let some would-be leader put
plank favoring hard roads into his
platform. His appeal for support
ought to meet with ready response.
There is a chance for the man who
advocates the reforming" Of Iowa's
country roads.

WOULD DESTROY THE PRIMARY.

g The Cedar Rapids Republican has
I Joined the Burlington Hawkeye in a
demand for repeal Of the statewide pri-
mary law. The argument is that not all
voters were acquainted with the
comparative merits Of all the candi-
dates and the appeal is made for . re-
turn to the state convention.
Granted that hundreds of voters cast
their ballots in the dark as to many a
candidate on the ticket, how many del
agates TO state convention ever knew
personally all the candidates voted for?
It Is safe to say that no delegation Of
fifteen men ever attended state con-
svention of any party and knew all the
candidates whose names came before
them. and that delegations of fifteen
men were no more competent to rep
resent 5000 voters in a county than any
other fifteen men.
ON the other hand, there are ten
dimes and hundred times fifteen men
In every county, taking the voters as a
whole, who do know the candidates all
along the list, and these mon at a pri-
mary do cast their votes intelligently
Furthermore, the primary system
makes a candidate stand publicity
The voter has campaign of weeks
and months in which to inform him
self about the candidates. Out of 200,
900 votes cast, better than 100000, up
on the most pessimistic calculation,
we're cast by voters well-informed up
on every candidate, while the entire
state convention would have consisted
OF less than 1900 men. and upon nom
nations below third place on the ticket
not 900 delegates would be left in the
convention hall to do the voting. Many
( i nomination has been made by secre-
tAries calling the roll to q building Of
empty seats.
The great benefit of the statewide
primary is that whenever a contest
arises of unusual public interest every
man gets a vote on the issue, and his
vote is counted in determining the re-
suit. Under the convention and caucus
system, the professionals do all the
business most of the time. and when an
issue Of great public concern does arise
1t requires about five or six years Of
fighting and organizing for the average
voter to turn down the professionals
and get his vote counted over their
heads The primary can be amended,
!. but should never be abolished.
