THE MONEY QUESTION.
ICedar Falls Record1.

[Cedar Falls Recordl.
The money question is always an alb
serbing theme. We hear but little
about changes in banking laws and in
currency measures until panic comes
or until stringency arouses attention
and points out the weaknesses OF pres
ent systems The time to discuss these
things and suggest remedies is when
everything is running smoothly. Cover
nor Shaw and George E. Roberts are
a bout the only agitators these days and
nobody is unduly excited over matters,
but some day there will be a stringen-
cy. possibly a panic. and then people
will wonder why the inequalities OF our
m onetary system have never been cor
rected This would be fine time to
agitate the subject. Discussion would
lead to better understanding Of issues
that are important.

cARRoLL's CASE.


1t is deplorable beyond words for the
governor OF state to be indicted for
crime. For this reason if for no other
the Courier sincerely hopes that Gov
errsor Carroll will be able to prove his
innocence. On the other hand he did
say too much. whether it was true or
false. Whent a man knows of q crime
being com 0tted. he should either
place his Information where it will
cause the prosecution Of the offender
or else keep his mouth shut about it.
Governor Carroll charged John Cownfe
with being guilty of crime which If it
really occurred was about as bad as
anything man could do. There Is no
man so high that he can make such a
statement about private citizen and
not be held accountable 70 that citizen
for his words The talk that the ar
rest and Indictment were brought
about for political purposes IS absurd.
Carroll said those things and does not
deny-it. Cownie would be less than
a man IL he did not resent the accuse
ton In way which would bring out a
thorough investigation and either clear
his name or prove his guilt.

IOWA WHEAT.

Iowa wheat is running out OF the
threshing machines at the rate Of from
% to 35 bushels to the acre. The wheat
is worth more than dollar a bushel.
The amount OF wheat grown in the
state this year is very large. One man
near Marshalltown had 105 acres
which will run nearly 80 bushels to the
acre. 1t was once the belief that Iowa
could not grow wheat successfully. But
it has been found to be largely a mat
ter of cultivation. The wheat fields of
the Dakotas and Canada will show no
such average yield per acre as Iowa

as safeguard for vehicles. The auto

Elementary to 1t, and is designed par
ticularly for automobiles, which often
make such noise Of their own that
the occupants can not hear other
noises. A banjo" signal IL 80 named
because Of its shape. 1t has the ap-
pearance Of a banjo standing straight
up on its small end. In the center of
the drum is q round opening. which is
covered by red disc when q train ap-
proaches. Above this is . smaller
opening for illumination at night AS
a warning to automobiles and other
vehicles. red light appears here at
night. just as the red disc appears be-
low in the daytime. There are two

for vehicles going in both directions.
1t is impossible for defect in the
mechanism to lead q vehicle into
danger, because any defect sends the
signal at once to danger" It can

is in perfect working order. A signal

THE BURDEN OF PROOF.

rDes iMotnes Register and I-eader1.
The democrats Of Iowa propose to
shift the burden OF proof from the sa-
loon to the people. That is the mean
ing OF their platform declaration.
The saloon Is now an outlaw in iowa
It has no legal rights. It is tolerated
under certain conditions, which it must
show affirnatively it is religiously OBJ
serving. 1t has no status and can
claim no exemptions.
The moment the saloon is legalized
by a local option license 1t will have
legal rights. 1t will be a recognized
and established business. Those who
would complain of it must show cause
and prove their case in open court.
1t is very ignorant man who does
not know what is involved in shifting
the burden Of proof. In this instance
1t is all the difference between effect
i've regulation and no regulation at all
Today the saloon can be made to OBJ
serve every restriction in every city OF

MOTOR BOAT RACES.
Entries May Come From England,
Germany and France.

NEW YORK, January 22.-The Motor
Boat Club Of America has decided on the
date for the races for the British inter-
national trophy, donated by Sir Alfred
HRrmsworth Iord Northcliffe) They
will be held at Huntington harbor, L. l.,
August 20.
Great Britain has already notified the
Motor Boat Club that sh1 will have one
boat from the British Motor Boat Club
and two from the Motor Yacht Club of
Great Britain. The local organization
has also been unofficially informed that
three-boat team to compete for the inter
national prize. But as these entries were
promised last year and did not material
lie, the Motor Boat Club is not taking
any serious stock in this advance notice
until official and actual entries are re-
ceived.
There are already three boats building
especially to represent the United States
in this race. Undoubtedly there are
others Of which the regatta committee
has not yet been officially informed One
boat, at least. is already completed, and
from reports which the regatta commit
tee has received of her performances she
is simply tearing up the water She was
intended for the race last year, but her
Boston designers and builders could not
get ready in time. She was finished just
after the close OF the race in 1909 and
has therefore had ample time to be tuned
up into the best of shape.
In the event of more than three boats
putting in an appearance as contenders
for the honor of representing the United
states the regatta committee will hold
elimination races about a week or ten
days before the main event to select the
American team of three to defend the
cup.

Memorial Athletic Club and the National
Guard Athletic Association are holding
February o and "a will be the best anna
teur meet ever held in the city.
There has been more enthusiasm shown

night the finals to determine the cham
pions of the District.
Baltimore will hold wrestling meet
during the week of February %, to de-
eide the title for Maryland, and if the
wrestling committee of the South Allan
tic Association SO decides the matches be-
tween the two cities will be held in this
city the following week for the South At

This wear the District expects to de-
priye Baltimore of the heavyweight title,
which has been won by it the past few
years A new man, weighing 10 pounds,
has taken up the art, and under the care
full training of Joe Turner and Frank
Lockhead, is expected to walk away with
the title.
The Memorial Athletic Club has been
the scene of some strenuous training.

lev will undoubtedly win new laurels In

ually rounding into shape at the National
Guard GYM under the excellent training
Of Joseph Turner and Frank Lockhead.
