THE DISPOSITION TO ROAST.
LBoone News-Republican.


When things do not go just to suit,
or just as was expected, there is a
great temptation to knock. Nothing
doing" is the universal cry, and then
the general public proceeds to roast
the parties interested in the trans
action. There are undoubtedly many
things in this world that need crit
icising, hut it is a fact that there is
about twenty times too much knock
ing. The News-Republican' advice to
those who are so eager to give way to
pessimistic feelings is to wait and see.
Things may not come out just right
to suit everybody. but it IS not good
policy to hop right on the hammer
wagon when someone slips cog.
There will be plenty of time to roar
when 1t is demonstrated that we have
been buncoed. Until then 1t is best to
put on a cheerful face. Everything has
come out fairly we'll in Boone SO far,
and probably will in the future. Time
is necessary to learn every side OF a
question. Great patience is sometimes
necessary "Slow to wrath is very
good motto.

TOO MUCH FRANK1NG BUSHES
Davenport Times,1

TOO MUCH FRANKING BUSINESS.
Davenport Times1
The greatest opportunity for econ
omy appears to be with regard to the
use of franlelng privileges. Innumera-
BILE documents Of no particular use to
the recipients are sent out from Wash
ington every day. The quantity
amounts to many train loads in year.
These documents are carried trernend-
Gus distances and the cost of trans
portation is but one of many additions
TO the expense of the department
caused by the system. The franked
parcels and letters make it necessary
to hire additional help all over the
country. If congress should pass a law
providing for an allowance for special
official stamps for each person right
fully entitled to free postage, from the
president down, and do away with the
franking privilege entirely, the post
office department would then be in a
position to show whether the manage
ment of the department was business
like and self sustaining.

MOTOR CARS ON RAILROADS.
IDuhuoue Time-Journai.l

The Rock Island is making sue
ces of gasoline motor car in oper-
alton between Vinton and iowa Falls.
The power is converted into electricity
and the car has a maximum speed of
sixty miles an hour, tho the schedule
calls for only twenty-five. No fault is
found with the car except that 1t is
not large enough to handle the bust
ness.
The most satisfactory substitute for
an interurban is local motor car ser
vice on a steam road. Tt could be
established at fraction of the cost OF
operating regular train.

Carnations are the easiest to color
