Politics II Starting.

Politics is getting under Roadway for the
1903 campaign in this state. c.. w. Lyon,
Seventh district committeeman, is endeav-
oring to get Mr.. Taft to make an address
at the state convention on September s.
He will take the matter up with the ma
tional committee and viii enlist the assist
I ance. of National Committeeman Hart of
Council Bluffs. 1t Is believed that some
thing Of that much account ought to be
done for Iowa this year. The state con-
vention is late through accident. 1t is pos
sible that IL may stir up some feeling,
though this is not anticipated, and the COM
ing of Taft to deliver an address at such
a time would counterbalance any evil ef-
fects OF the convention coming in late. The
convention will nave but one thing TO do,
and that will be the nomination OF a candi-
date for supreme court judge, though. OF
course, some resolutions will be adopted OF
some kind.
A meeting Of local democrats was held at
the headquarters in the Observatory build
Ing tonight for the purpose of making ar
rangements for the big Bryan meeting that
is to be held here on August q. This will
be the second day of the state fair and II
is expected by holding It at that time and
getting the benefit of the reduced rates II
will gain more Of a crowd. 1t is the inten-
ton to have Mr.. Bryan speak at the base
ball park, which has been turned into an
amusement resort by the erection Of a
stage in front Of the amphltheater.

Southwest Gets Train.

The Burlington railroad has written to
Secretary Botsford Of the Commercial club
OF this city that 1t will give the additional
train service for southwestern Iowa to
Mount Ayr that has been asked for. This
decision OF the Burlington forestalls any
action of the State Railroad commission.
to which the matter was submitted on the
petition OF the southwest Iowa people. The
Burlington gives the assurance that the
service will be extended as soon as a turn
table and coal station and shelter for the
engine can be built at Mount Ayr. The
train will leave Mount Ayr in the morn
ing and arrive at Des Moines at 1880: and
leaving. will leave Des Moines at l2:4O and
reach Mount Ayr In the evening. It is now
a two days trip for many OF the towns OF
southwestern Iowa to reach Des Moines
The towns of Kingston. Decatur, Davis
City, Togo. Lamont. Tuskege, KeIlerton
and Mount Ayr have all been more than
one day away from Des Moines, and the
citizens Of those towns had to travel all
night to reach Des Moines for the hearing
before the railroad commission. There are
some other towns that are still not bene-
fitted. and this matter is stm pending be-
fore the commission.

Record In

Out at the state fair GROUNDS a elO'VVO
building is being erected at a rate that
would make the famous building of from
tier Sties look like 80 cents. The $4,000
building will be erected in fifteen days and
the work has already started. The build
Ing must be completed by the time the
state fair opens on August 20.
Last year the state fair management
erected a new horse barn at a cost of $i0,-
900 that added 1876 stalls to the capacity of
the barns. In spite OF that 1t was found
this year that the barn capacity was 12
stalls short of the number of entries, The
contractor of last year was asked to dupli-
cate his work. He is trying to do so-and
has three shifts Of men working eight
hours each by the aid Of electric light, and
promises to have the work completed on
time. II will be of brick and steel.
There will be 1000 head OF horses at the
Iowa state fair this year, which is more
than the fair ever had before, and II is be-
lieved more than any state fair In the
United States ever had. There will be 500
head of cattle on exhibit, which is also the
record number for the Iowa state fair.

CORN PRIZE WINNERS.

One of the features of the regular
monthly meeting of the York County

termination Of the result Of the corn
prize contest instituted by that organ
ization last spring.
1t will be remembered that the con-
test was put under way by the Union,
and in response to request for sub
scriptions to the prize money the gen.
raj public contributed to a total

niums, so per cent for the best acre,
20 per cent for the second best, and
20 per cent for the third best acre.

FARMERS UNION MEETING.

The annual meeting of the York
County Farmers Union, which was
also the occasion Of the regular month
ly meeting, was held in Yorkville yes
terday, and was made up Of about fif-
ty delegates representing various Un-
ions in different parts of the county.
The principal business of the meet
ing was to elect and install officers for
the ensuing year; but this having been
disposed of with remarkable unanimity
and dispatch, there was good deal Of
time in which to attend to determining
Of the results of the corn prize COM
petition, and to provide for another
contest for 1909.
There being general satisfaction with
the administration Of the president,
Mr.. j. Frank Ashe, that officer was
unanimously reelected by acclamation

The Corn Prize Contest.

The raising Of from 81 to SS bushels
Of corn on an acre may not be consid-
cred an extraordinary achievement in
the light Of records from 120 bushels
on up to $50 bushels and over; but
still, as we see it, the people who
have so generously backed the con-
test instituted by the Farmers Union
Of York county have cause for much
satisfaction over the result.
It is true that this competition was
not instituted until late in the season,
Much corn had already been planted
before the contest was thought of, and
all Of the contestants were at diSad-
vantage so far as the making Of record
yields was concerned. but still the con-
test has been we'll worth while, not only
from the standpoint of the actual
bushels produced: but from the stand
point of the valuable object lesson that
has been furnished on this most i'm
portant subject.
In a country where the corn average
is less than fifteen bushels to the acre
and where six and eight bushels are
common yields, from 60 to so bushels
TO the acre at an average net cost of
only fifteen or twenty cents a bushel IS
something certainly worth while. 1t
not only shows what a tremendous
amount of room there is for improve
ment: but it shows how easily that
ir,,Droveuent can he made and at
what great profit to every corn grow

THERE is nothing new in what Hon.
T. B. Butler told the educational rally
at Bethany about negro education the
other day: but the fact that there is
nothing new about 1t, does not detract
from its importance. OF course, the
white man is naturally superior to the
negro. There is no reasonable doubt
about that fact. But to assume that
the uneducated white man is superior
to the educated negro will be rather
risky proposition, to say the least of
it, And as the situation stands, there is
but one reasonable solution. The
whites must hold their own in the race
for education. They must allow no
consideration on earth to keep them
out of the schools. Every white parent
owes it to his children, himself and his
fellow white citizens to see that his
children have all the educational ad-
vantages possible. The stream of edu-
cation is steadily growing swifter, deep
er and broader, and conditions are
rapidly changing. The white race can
not afford to have any white people
left out in the eddy water.
