lowA,s RESOURCES.

Senator ]. P. Dolliver has written a
letter to Governor Carroll concerning
the recent appointment of. an Iowa
conservation commission and he pre-
diets that important results Will
come from this action. Senator Dol
liver as a member Of the national con-
seryation commission, which seeks to
do for the nation what the Iowa COM
mission will do for the state, has vol
unteered to give his hearty support IN
aiding the plans of the Iowans. His
investigations have led him to believe
that Iowa is behind the procession IN
the study of the soil and in the pre-
servation of its fertility. He would
like to see the commission fill the
state with enthusiasm for modern
methods of agriculture, and he be-
lieyes that it will be long step IN
the right direction If the commission
sets to work with zeal to bring the
facts which they verify and the knoWl-
edge with they acquire home to the
people of the state.
An investigation of the coal area
and the methods of mining, Of the feas-
Utility of utilizing the rivers for pro-
ducing electrical power and some prac-
tical work in forestry that the present
generation may do for the future what
the early settlers did for us is urged
by the senator.
In the rush of legislative work tha
conservation commission bill went
through without the publicity a meas
ure of such Importance should receive.
With legislature and politics tenn
nrrarilv off our hands however, we
might turn serious attention to the
question brought up by Senator Dol
liver, as it is undoubtedly one of the
most important things that Iowa has
to deal with.

THE NEW IOWA IDEA.

st. Louis Dispatch.-Iowa Is
the latest addition to the list of COM
munities bent on winning fame by
self-advertising. 1t has a dry, hum
orous method. Recently 1t caused to
be taken from a dining car on the
ST. Paul road two kegs of beer, bar
rel of wine and sundry bottles of whis-
ky. A county attorney and sheriff
held up the train and the majesty Of
the Iowa law at the same time.
AS Iowa views it, 1t is probably a
good law. It declares in emphatic
language the Iowa idea that what is
not good for the native is not good for
the traveller within its bounds. The
Christening influences of self-denial are
universal in their application. If good
for home use they must be good for
the world without. Thus the value and
beauty of abstinence Is carried home
to pilgrims. and they go forth from
the state, impressed with the idea
that here is one community brave
enough to carry its gospel to the
world.
These pilgrims enroute from Joppa
to Jerusalem, or Boston to Los Angeles
have perhaps, never heard of Iowa be-
fore. But they will not forget 1t. With
the alkali deserts of the southwest 1t
will share in their minds the distinc-
ton Of superlative aridity. Iowa could
do nothing that will carry it's fame
further. 1t ministers the gospel Of
militant temperance to the travelling
million, and earnest wayfarers will
henceforth traverse it in the night ii
it must be traversed at ALL

ANSWERING A CRITICISM.

The editor of the New York Journal
expressed his editorial displeasure re-
Gently because President Taft had Sc
lected George w. Wickersham as at
torney general, declaring that Mr..
Wickersham had once received a fee
of 100000 for services to legal cor
porations, and might be unfrien'ily to
the people because of his friendship
for corporations The Journals editor
ial went on to say:
Is it possible for a man to receive
such enormous sums of money from
the trusts and not feel friendly to
them? Is it reasonable to suppose that
a man thus appreciated by the trusts
will prosecute them, as a public ser,
want, with the energy demanded?
The trusts never forget their friends
the people nearly always forget
their friends If Mr.. Wickersham re-
lied on the people Of the United States
at the end of his term he might go to
the poorhouse. But If he keeps in MS
heart warm spot for the man that
drew that 100000 check, there Will
always be another check something
like that within reach.
Wouldn't he have to be absolutely
ungrateful one way or the other?
Harper's Weekly answered the New
York editor with an argument Of a
more or less personal nature, declar-
ing that If his argument were sound
there could never be a change of en-
ployment without either ingralitude
or disloyalty Harper's puts it UP this
way to the New York editor:
Don't you know yourself that there
can be? Did you not once work for
Mr.. Dana Of the, Sun? Was not his
moneS good money. When you left
him to work for his arch-rival, Mr..
Pulitzer, were you unfaithful or I'M
grateful? Was not Mr.. Pulitzer's mon
ey again good money money, as you
put it, that was power, that was com
fort and luxury and freedom from
anxiety?
And yet did you hesitate after some
years of useful and productive la
Dor for Mr.. Pulitzer, to quit his joe
In turn and hire out to his arch-rival,
Mr.. Hearst? How has it been with you
in this latest employment? Have you
always kent a warm snnt in vonr heart
