leaders learn to study public questions
from the standpoint Of the Masses
Most Of the people will remember
a time not long ago when there was
not only fasting In the wilderness .
but also in other locations removed
from the wilderness. 1t was when,
after years of prosperity under Re.
publican rule an experiment was made
with Democratic administration
Before that administration closed
there was real fasting. 1t was in the
days Of General Coxey's army and
General Kelley's navy. and II cent
oats and Is cent corn. And, strange
to say when the regeneration followed
this period Of fasting, it was re,
generation that returned the Repub.
licans to power and restored pros,
perity to the people.
Mr.. Bryan says the overshadowlng
issue which manifests itself is, "Shall
the People Ruler" And he follows
this question with few dissertations
that would be more appropriate in a
Bunyon's Pilgrims Progress" or a
Millions Paradise Lost" Let the
issue be, shall the people rule" but
let's put it differently Shall the
people rule through a Republican ad
ministration, providing square deal
and a square meal, or shall it be
under Democratic administration
providing fast in the wilderness?

WEST BENSON BoNNIFIELD.

Cedar Rapids Republication Sun
day Mr.. West B. Bonnifeld, of ottum-
wa, died at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. F. G. HORNED, on Mount
Vernon road. Mr.. Bonnifield was
stricken with his last illness while
visiting at his daughters home.
Mr.. Bonnifield was one of the pio-
neer business men Of this state, and
one OF The most prominent bankers
in the Mississippi Valley. He was
eighty-lwo years old at the time Of
his death. He and Senator Allison
were sanoolmates at Allegheny Col
lege and were lifelong friends. They
died within few days of each other
and of The same malady. Mr.. Bonni-
field came to Iowa in 1887 and helped
to build the historic Bonnifield house,
which is now on exhibition in Fair
field. He educated himself and from
first to last has been the architect Of
his own fortune. He joined the tide
that flowed toward California in the
early f1fties and returned few years
later, taking up his residence at OF
tumwa, and shortly afterwards start
ed private bank. He was a strong
Republican, thorough believer in the
Righteousness of the Union cause, and
confident investor in the securities
Of the government when many others
wondered whether or not they were
worth the paper they were written up
on. He was among the first advocates
of the national banking act, and Sc
cured the first national bank charter
that came west of the Mississippi riv-
er. The First National bank of OF
tumwa was chartered in 1863, and
was the one hundred and seventh ma
tional bank to be established in the
United States. Mr.. Bonnifeld was
president Of this institution from the
day of it's founding to the day of his
death. He was quiet, modest, self
reliant man, who believed in himself
and acted on his own Judgment. He
was kindly and helpful, but always in
an transformations way He had in
Vulnerable friends throughout the
state and a great many especially
close friends throughout southeastern
Iowa. He maintained his physical and
mental vigor up to the very last. He
was one of the men who made for the
business integrity of this state for
more than fifty years. His passing
marks the end of very honorable and
a very useful life.

SHEATH SKIRT NOTHING NEW.

Dover News-Say, where will this
sheath craze stop? First it was a
sheath skirt ripped up the side about
that far. Then comes the sheath
sleeve ripped up the hind seam, ieav-
ing the arm bare to the shoulder.
And we look in horror for the probable
appearance of the sheath waist and
the sheath stockings to Toll, v. If the
men should become victims to the
sheath fad it will be case Of history
repeating itself. Well We Remember
when we were strictly in the sheath
fashion. We crawled through Il crack
in the fence and an obstinate splinter
turned our blue check skirt into a
sheath up and down the back. We
slid down plank. There was a nail
In it, and the blue dentnl sheath pants
we wore home were up,to-date. The
fashion was rot as popular then AS
now, and when we met a lady we back.
ed up against the barn until she had
passed on. And when we got home wt.
were treated to few blisters which
covered the opening male hy the
sheath.

GOOD ROADS

ne .GOOd ROADS aSSOclaLlOn is nav
ing school of instruction this week
at Waterloo under the direction of the
iowa Highway commission. Water
loo is also entertaining the county offl-
CT; Is of Iowa. 1t was a happy thought
to bring this road school and officials
convention together, for the latter
may, if they have the mind, learn
raIch from the former that might be
put to practical use in their own coun-
ties.
1t requires a stretch Of the imagina-
ton to classify Iowa roads as good
roads. Iowa is first in a great many
things, but in the matter of roads its
standing may be more easily located
by beginning at the bottom instead of
the top of the list. An article in the
Technical World draws attention to
this when it contrasts the situation in
New York with that in Iowa, not at all
to the advantage Of our own state.
That magazine says:
From the maledictions scattered
broadcast in miro of roadless Amer
lea by despairing bicyclists Is years
ago hopes of better things have taken
root. No gift of prophecy is now re-
hopes will have so far materialized
that a team, if it is a good one, will
be able to haul an empty wagon over
the gumbo roads of the Mississippi
valley in spring, and the public high
ways of the south will be so we'll
buoyed that light draught automobiles
may navigate them in comparative
safety.
From every part Of the country
comes the same encouraging news.
Sixteen states now have highway COM
missions that are trying in various
ways to supply the greatest need of
the nation. which is good roads. At
one extreme is New York, which, in
1905, voted to expend $50,0OO,0O0 in
building roads. Under the plan adopt
ed the state will build and maintain
1882 miles connecting the principal
cities, and pay one-haIf the cost of
400 miles of local roads to be built
by the counties.
At the other extreme is Iowa, the
third state in the union in extent Of
road mileage, where the use of the
public highways is SO vast that If
teams enough could be assembled to
do In one day all the travelling done
In the state In a year the line would
reach once and a half around the
earth, which doles out an annual ap-
preparation Of $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses Of the state college faculty
while acting in the capacity of high
way commission
It is very probable that in a few
years Iowa will not be referred to as
the "other extreme" in the matter of
road Improvement The Highway
commission has taken UP the campaign
| for better roads with earnestness.
The people should as earnestly lend
support in aiding the commission push
the work. The good roads question is
one Of far too vital Importance to be
dismissed without serious thought.
Good roads enhance the valuations of
farm lands, facilitate the transporta-
ton Of surplus products Of the farm
and increase the mercantile trade of
the city. The merchant Is interested
no less than the farmer in furthering
plans for the building of permanent
highways.

ing Of the grand jury; 219 law and
221 chancery cases, making total of

which is a liberal percentage, it would
take 2551s days continuous work to
clear up the docket. Many of the cases
appearing on the new docket. neverthe-
less, are suits that have been contin-
ued from term to term, and many Of
them will be dismissed.
