WHAT ONE COUNTY is DOING.

| Des Moines county has taken up
| the good roads question in a practical
| manner. The resident farmers along
the Fort Madison road which runs
into Burlington have filed petition
| for the improving of four miles Of
road. They have organized themselves
| into road district and have asked
the county board to construct per-
| manent highway boulevard. The coun-
| ty is to bear one-half of this expense
and the farmers along the road who
own property within half mile on
either side pay the other half, the
county giving them ten years to pay
| it in ten equal installments, Just as
the city pays for it's paving expendi-
lures. A similar road is to be built
between Burlington and West Bur
lington and the Fort Madison road
work will be started as soon as this
work is completed. The Burlington
Gazette is enthusiastic over the pros
poets now opened up for the perman-
ent improvement of the Des Moines
county roads. 1t says:
AS a matter of investment and the
economical conduct of the agricultural
lands no money was ever SO well ex-
pended. IN communities where good,
well built permanent roads are the
rule, real prosperity reigns despite the
disparaging difference between the
soil and products. Indiana farms that
are no more to be compared to Iowa
rich acres than Skunk river to the
Mississippi are made profitable by rea-
son of the easy conditions of reach
ing the markets. On the great thor
oughfares in New Jersey, Connecticut
and Massachusetts one horse does the
work of three or four on the rough
and ungraded highways of Iowa. IN
those communities rainy and muddy
weather is the marketing season.
When they are prevented from work
ing at home they bring their products
to market and do their shopping.
When once inaugurated the good
road system never goes backward
After farming community COM
mences to enjoy the privileges of Il
comfortable boulevard it's permanency
is assured. There is no end to the
raw material in Des Moines county
for the best roads in the world An
active and progressive county board
is generous in its aid to such farmers
as feel like helping themselves, and
If they have the spirit and inclination
it will be but short time before
every farm in the county will border
on a well paved boulevard which will.

The mere fact he Is the head of that

his place in the scientific world. The

foremost scientists of the United

the leading scientists of other coun-

THEY are STILL REPUBLICANS

their view of things THEIR DUTY.
The capitals were supplied by the

clearly apparent that there was de-
Hibernate desire to misrepresent Mr..
Taft, and this comment was added:
We know of no movement that gains

Winona that they did their duty by
voting against the Payne bill, that he
was pleased to know they would

That the National Geographic So
ciety has acted wisely in selecting DR..
Ira Relnsen of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity to name board or commission to
PASS on the records and other data OF
Peary and Cook in regard to the dis
covery of the pole, is asserted by
prominent scientists here who are well
acquainted with DIR. Remsen. The rea-
sons why the selection OF DR.. Remsen
is deemed commendable are interest
ing.
In the first place, DR.. Remsen had a
reputation all over the world for high
scientific attainment and integrity. If
he appoints commission which he
considers competent to pass on the
claims of the polar explorers, the de-
cision Of that commission will probably
not be questioned by scientific men
either here or abroad. His standing is
recognized not only in America, but
IN Europe. A scientist connected with
the Smithsonian Institute in discussing
the proposed appointment OF com
mission by DR.. Remsen said that DIR.
Remsen was absolutely without bias
and that he would see to 1t that men

The lNpEsTRucTlRLE SOIL.

Professor Whitney, chief of the bu-
reau of soils of the department Of
agriculture, declares the belief that
productive land may become SO worn
out or so slightly productive as to be
no longer worth cultivation to be en-
tirely without foundation.
"The art of soil management" says
Professor Whitney, us SO to handle
100000 pounds of raw materials-the
weight Of soil one foot deep on an
acre-as to produce the greatest
amount of food and clothing and still
leave the soil unimpaired THE
SOIL" he adds, lis the one indestruc-
tible, immutable asset that the nation
possesses. 1t is the one resource that
cannot be xhausted-cannot be used
up"
Farm land may be SO mismanaged
or abused, Professor Whitney admits,
as to become temporarily Improbable,
but its fertility or life remains so long
as the soil itself remains and intelli-
gent treatment is all that is necessary
to make It productive again.

THE JUNkIN CASE.

Cedar Rapids Gazette-The supreme
court is soon to pass upon the case of
Junkin, the slayer of Clara Rosen, the
Ottumwa young woman who was SO
brutally murdered some time ago. 1t
is to be hoped, for the sake of the
good name of the state, that the court
makes short work of the case; that
the court pays no attention to any
technically, real or alleged that may
be discovered or claimed; that the
court takes into consideration only the
fact that there is not the least doubt
of the guilt of the murdered. The
greatest encouragement that could
possibly be given to revival of lynch
law in Iowa would be the remanding
of the Junllin case for a new trial.

MISUNDERSTANDING TAFT.

The Minneapolis Journal calls at
tention to the effort being made to
misrepresent President Taft's Winona
speech, quoting as an example She fol.
lowing statement made in dispatch
from Washington published by st.
Paul paper:
In his speech at Winona recently
President Taft praised the Aldrich
tariff bill as the best yet, and said in
effect that both the Republican senat-
ors and seven Of the eight Republican
representatives from Minnesota had
left the party by voting against the
Aldrich-Payne upward revision.
The Minneapolis paper quotes from
the presidents speech in question to
prove that the president never said,
either "in effect or in any other way,
that the Minnesota members of con
gress who voted against the
Payne bill had left the party. On the
contrary, says the Journal, he recog-
nized in the frankest language their
right to consult their own consciences
when 1t came to vote on the Payne
bill. President Taft, the Journal CON
ltinues, maintained that the BILL
though far from perfect, was the best
bill the Republicans had yet made,
and that as between signing and veto
ing it, the former seemed to him the
wiser course. One of his chief rear
sons for this decision was his desire
to promote the solidarity of the party
for the accomplishment of the main
purposes" How absurd, then, to ac-
cuse him of reading out of the party
any Republican, and how ridiculous to
assert that he accused Republican
members of congress of having by
their votes on the bill left the party.
President Taft's speech is quoted from
as follows:
AM GLAD to see that number
of those who thought it their duty TO
vote against the bill, INSIST THAT
