man of business and executive ability,

would naturally fall to the lot of man
in such a position. Such situation
would require an unusual amount of adj
ministrative power and above all II

course ministers whose trend is toward
the formal work of the pulpit would not
do for this kind of a field and the de-

therefore, to command the attention of

Mr.. JOrdan'S Rouse Of Governors

William George Jordan invented the
fifth wheel. known to a limited public
as the House of Governors, and he was
duly elected permanent secretary of it.
This was a stroke of business on his
part He wanted a snowy place with
little to do and he has bagged it.
This voluntary and uncalled for addi-
ton to our form of government no
longer has a home and habitation. The
members of it felt ignored when they
last met in Washington, and they re-
solved to get even by hoboing the
states They are to meet it is said, at
Frankfort, little town in Kentucky,
where they expect, no doubt, to at
tract more attention than they did in
Washington last winter.
The Jordan plan for ESTABLISHING the
House of Governors was based on the
hope of securing uniformity of laws and
of action In matters In which the alb
sence of such uniformity is paralyz-
ing. So said in substance Mr.. Jor-
dan, but If Mr. Jordan and his house
have secured any legislation whatever
the public does not know It. The as
members of the volunteer house rise
and fall rapidly. One or two sessions
of the house are all these statesmen

no one can do much in an annual ses-
sion of two or three days The truth
is, Mr.. Jordan's house is a fiasco, and

Cotton Bills of Lading
hand.

Now that the bankers of London have
declared bill of lading and its accom-
panying draft non-negotiable unless 1t
bears the guarantee of reputable
American banking institution, we are
In a fair way to secure honest bills of
lading. This action of the bankers of
London should lead to a reform in the
shipment of cotton in this country that
will put an end to all loose methods.
What are called fraudulent bills of
lading are often not forged by shippers,
but are bills procured from some en-
ploye of a railroad on assurance that
the cotton was on the way or would be
delivered in due time. How much of the
responsibility rests on the local employee
and how much on the official higher up
It is difficult to say
But the time has come when the rail-
road issuing a bill of lading should be
.eld responsible for any loss due to fail
IRE of delivery. The practice has long
existed in the freight service. and IL it
becomes established that the railroads
are responsible for the acts of their
agents it will be stopped.
Congress attempted to make interstate
carriers responsible for the acts of their
agents In issuing bills of lading. The
House did pass the bill, but the rail-
roads succeeded in holding 1t Up in the
Senate, and it hangs fire in that body. 1t
bids fair to stay there.
But when an American banking insti-
tuition is asked to guarantee bill of
lading 1t will be pretty apt to know
whether the cotton named in 1t has
actually been shipped. The country is,
therefore, in a fair way to get what the
Senate has refused to put In law.

Road Building In a Jiffy

In Iowa recently 10000 volunteer work
men swarmed onto a road $50 miles long
stretching from Council Bluffs on the
Missouri to Davenport on the Mississippi
river, and in one given hour they put
that road in the best condition of any
road west of the Father of Waters.
Months had been spent In preparation for
the task, but the actual work of road
repairing was done in one hour by the
clock. Nor is this all. No man of the
10, 900 Iowans received cent of wages.
Out of goodwill and patriotism they bent
to the task, and the state has one good
road to show what can be accomplished
in a single hour.
No one in Iowa claims that the Council
Bluffs Davenport road is what a coun-
try road should be- 1t is simply all a
road can become when common dirt is
used Iowa has little stone and the
state is just rising to an appreciation of
the value of hard roads-roads that in
crease the price of farm land by lessen
ing the cost of transportation and min
imizing distances and time in going to
and from market.
The regular political township commit
tees were appealed to in Iowa and a
rivalry sprang up between them in see
ing which could have the most workmen
on the Job at the tick of the clock. All
bridges and culverts had been put in
good condition, and the farmers turned
out bringing their plows, scrapers and
road drags, and today Iowa has the best
piece of long distance roadway west of
the Mississippi river.
The distance from our state line above
Athens to Mobile is almost exactly $50
miles, and IL Stag and broken stone could
