THE CANAL AND THE QUAKE,

The news from Panama of an earth
quake shock there comes in the nature
of an alarm signal 1t no doubt will
give fresh encouragement to those who
believe that the canal should be at
sea level 1t doesn't appear that this
shock was sufficient to damage the
canal works as they now stand or as
they will stand when completed on the
lock plan. But the incident is forci-
bic reminder that the isthmus is in the
earthquake zone, and, this being true,
those who care to do SO, can find in it
material for dire representations.
Doubtless some will see the finish of
the canal. regardless of what type of
construction may be followed, while
others will draw the line and argue
that a sea level plan would be safe and
high level plan subject to damage.
Manifestly, lock canal would be more
likely to suffer damage, and greater
damage, than sea level canal.
t 1t is not likely, however, that Uncle
Sam will get cold feet, either as to
the canal itself OF as to the plan. Hope
runs high in the human breast and in
this case it will sustain the hand OF
the builder Il is easily imagined thai
even a quake with costly consequence;
would not discourage the doors of this
great work. The canal might bs

people of the United States would de.
mand that its reconstruction be en-.

of events. The most that the earth
quake will ever do to the canal as
permanent proposition will he to shak
it down TO sea level. 1t will take
much heavier shock than that Of Mon
day to do this.

So it is easy tor the fair Of 1909 to
be record breaker. It simply can't
help it. And If all the favorable con-
ditions continue few weeks longer
the various district and county fairs
thruout the state will also make good.
But one firing can prevent it. That is a
period of wet weather during fair
week, which occasionally occurs. But
1t is to be hoped that the rain will
come at the right time and all the
fairs will be successful proportionately
to the big one now in full blast at Des

SECRETARY M'DonALD's WAY.

A campaign of education is essen
tial as a preliminary to startling a
movement for permanent Improvement
of the public roads, according TO
tary of the state highway commission.
He thinks the farmers do not fully
realize as vet the necessity or benefits
of good roads. During a recent address
Mr. Mcdonald said:
In the matter of good roads, when
the public gets to thinking right on
the subject the right kind of highways
and the bridges will follow. would
rather educate the farmer to the reali-
cation of the need for good roads
than to turn a commission loose with
$4,000 600 and make it try to force
good roads on him. Education to
the need of anything has proven far
more effective than the attempt to
force something on the people that
they are not fully aware they need.
don't believe in adding fraction
of a mill to the tax to secure good
roads. We want the pepole to de-
mand them Then our county boards
will turn funds loose TO good purpose.
State legislation will help and we will
get it. for the farmer who goes to
represent his district knows that 1t
needs good roads and he wll make
every effort to see that that need is
met
If education will awaken interest
lets have it by all means. Anything
to help put live good roads crusade
in motion. Get it well started and II
will move of its own volition.

FAIR AN EASY SUCCESS.

Unless there is gross mismanage-
mert or a big leak somewhere, the
state fair this year should score the
grandest success in the associations
history and have the largest surplus
in the treasury yet recorded.
Every condition has been conducive
to the fairs success. Ideal weather
has prevailed since the opening day.
A gentle shower at the beginning laid
the dust, clarified the attz1siccsssei,ere and
put the grounds and race track in
practically perfect condition. The mag
nitude and varied features Of the fair
itself were sufficient to attract the peo-
pie of the state. 1t was virtually known
that the exhibits in all departments
would be complete, both in extent and
quality.
Furthermore, there has never been
a time since the state fair was organ
lied when the conditions for attend
ance were more favorable. Generally
speaking the farmers of the state have
nothing else to do but board a train,
go to Des Moines and stay as long as
they wish. Their harvest is over, their
grain safely garnered and all the sea-
sons work UP in shape except fall
blowing, which need not be done until
there is rain that Will soak the soil
thoroughly. And the best of it all is
that the people have ready money to
spend in going to the fair and seeing
! all its attractions. They didn't have to

NO CROP SCARE.

Somehow there isn't much scare In

doubtless is that there isn't a great

contend that it will measure up to the
early expectations and estimates. In
the first place many fields were !r-
retrievably damaged by the excessive
rainfall early in the season. But great
er damage has ensued as result of
the drouth which followed and which is
not yet effectually broken. That the
period of dry weather which began
over eight weeks ago has caused Sc
rious injury to corn and late potatoes,
as we'll as the pasture lands, no man
will deny. The wonder is that the dam

no means reached the proportions of
failure and can not
