Quality in Farm Labor.

The time has come when the barrier
known as the contract labor law should
be modified SO that farmers could hire
the right kind of farm hands in Eng
land and northern Europe, advertising
for them in cooperative way in the
foreign farm papers or securing them
thru American consular agents. First
class men could be obtained IL they
could be legally promised jobs in adj

A PLACE FOR ACTIVITY

President Taft said q very pertinent
thing 70 the Interested advocates Of

when ne told them that a revival Of
river commerce depends as much Or
more on the cities and citizens along
the river than on a deep channel. a
deep waterway can not carry a com

We need a sufficient waterway. Tine

along IFS banks, who are urging fa.bul-
Gus governmental appropriations need
not expect that the government IS
ready to deepen the channel, build
docks and hand @ deep waterway and
a profitable commerce to them on a
platter.
The fact is asserted by engineers that
sea going vessels can not successfully
navigate inland waters however dean
the channel. They argue that a depth
sufficient to float powerful tugs is all
that is necessary. Much Of this argu-
ment is inspired and paid for by the
railroads and needs careful and ;udi-
cial considerations; but it seems reason
able that the cheapest and best way to
carry coal and wheat ard the main
freights Of water transportation is in
barges which would be greater extern
sions of freight cars and of which a
string drawn by powerful tug would
duplicate on water the railroad train

it must develop between the cities on a

cumstances. And the line between St
Louis and Kansas City is having its
effect on the arrogance of railway de-
mands, something to be taken into con-
sideration in this day of "all the traf-
fic will bear"
If there is to be river Improvement
the river cities must give over playing
the part OF the horse leech's daughter

water transportation is ready for re-

much for the rich. But in spite of that
most of us believe in just as many
schools as may be necessary to accom-
odate all the children in the city. At
the present time there are hundreds
of children who are not properly ac-
commodated in the schools. There are
hundreds who are permitted to spend
only half a day in school because there
Is not enough room to accommodate them
all the time. There are hundreds of
others who are crowded OUT of build
ings and who are housed in annexes,
or are compelled to sit IN the halls. 1t
is an outra geous state Of affairs II is
not possible that there IS a man in
Cedar Rapids who would vote TO de-

ton. We pay for such education not
