AN OLD MAIDS FATE.
rVahstar Ci+y Herald

Chairman LATE Young. the great
warrior and political road maker, vo-
ciferated and waved his hands and said
the farmers were fifty years behind the
times. He even declared the Carroll
plan carried a la Car Cannon, but the
ia rners demanded a division and the
final vote stood 315 to 1913. The politi-
cal road makers with Col. Young COM
manding, were badly routed. 1t was a
Waterloo. 1t seems that the whole
thing was a political scheme. Other
wise Col. Young would not have been
named to, preside. II was plan to
boost the gentleman with the celluloid
collar, and the agricultural cohorts who
were really in earnest became tired Of
hearing hack politicians and college
professors abuse them at their own ex-
pense, and arose and snote hip and
thigh. Col. Young, as we would expect
from his fiery nature, lost his temper,
and Governor Carroll was like the old
maid-badly disappointed
The rebuke was deserved. The good
roads convention was a diaphanous
device to boom celluloid stock. 1t was
exposed, mercilessly, thoroughly and
by a large majority. The political road
makers got decidedly the worst Of it.
Served them right.

THE CALL FOR PINcEoT.

Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has cabled
Clifford Pinchot to meet him in Lon
don Mr.. Pmchot is on vessel en-
route to the tryst. That is all but It IS
enough. Bang, How these sudden ex-
plosions shake the nerve.
1t Will be considered significant that
Mr. Roosevelt should send for Pinchot.
Both parties TO the controversy will see
the same significance. 1t is extremely
natural that Roosevelt should send for
Pinchot. He knows and trusts him.
Pinchot was heart and soul with the
Roosevelt policies and hand and glove
with Roosevelt in and out of office.
The reason Roosevelt sends for him is
that Roosevelt wants the truth and is
certain to get it from the point OF view
OF bold man and faithful public
servant.
The return from Elba is then TO be
with maps and information furnished
by friends instead OF enemies OF the
Roosevelt public policies Mr. Roose-
welt is coming back to war that is
being waged against all for which he
stood, to undo what he accomplished
and TO bar the way TO further accom-
plishment. He wants a map of the
country which is being fought over,
a statement of the issues. SO he sends
for an engineer whom he can trust, a
faithful personal friend and clean
public man.
What Roosevelt may do or say re
mains to be heard and seen: but it is
assuring to know that he is not lodging
any issues. His call for Pinchot sug-
gests so much.

THE WAY CUT OF 1T.

Long before the advent of anything
like those dire days when we will
starve TO death for sheer lack of pro-
visions, SO often and so seriously pre-
dicted by Jim Hill and others, we will
learn something of how to make the
City Star prints the following as a
Kansas note:
George Logan farms fifteen acres
near Crane. He farms 1t 50 we'll that
last year he received $1,000 for his
vegetables and fruit. These fifteen
acres are par, of the $40 acres mis-
father tried TO farm with the aid of a
family of boys, ana the $40 acres never
produced as much in one year under
the old method as the fifteen acres
yield under the new.
Perhaps that $40 was farmed with
rare slovenliness. 1t is more likely that
the fifteen acres is farmed with rare
tidiness. If this reformation is TO be
extended all over the country how long
VIII II De until capacity
overtakes productive and the lugu-
brious prophesies Of the Jim Hills come
true? 1t will be a long time. indeed.
And that, in broad and general sense,
is just what is going TO happen. The
human family is not going to want for
provisions with the means TO increase
production known of all men. And a
'tback to the soil" movement, real be-
cause natural and logical, viii be an
incident of the evolution.
We are a wasteful and extravagant
people. Nowhere is this more in evil
dence than in our farming. This is
inherent in our circumstances as a new
country. comparatively sparsely set
tied. But we are studying the science
of intensive farming and already put
ting it into practice here and there.
There will be an orderly and timely
progress along these lines that VIII
take care of the future as the future
unfoIds itself.

gard to public sentiment is shown in
the effort and determination of Mrs.
Carroll to make sex literature and
teaching part Of our public school
system. There is not only no demand
for such work, but a most decided and
expressed opposition to it, Not only
are the members of our school boards
lining up against any such course OF
study, but teachers everywhere are say
ing that under no circumstances will
they make it part OF their teaching.
All this is not touching on the merits
of the question. It is simply to tell
Mrs. Carroll and those in her wake
that Iowa does not want any public
school instruction on these subjects. 1T
may be there is need of it, may be par
ents are not doing their duty in this
matter. just the same said parents are
not going to have any such course Of
study or lectures in our public schools.

THE DEVIL ONLY KNOWS?

[Fayette Postal Card.l
Il looks to us "thisaway," as an In
diana orator would say, that the on
coming political campaign in Iowa will
be about as warm and perhaps as dis
gushing as many bull fights that have
preceded it. The old. rusty machine in
1906 was badly bruised. The "ireless
cooker made it hot for democrats and
srandpats. What viii or may happen
this year the devil only knows. The
democrats will watch every movement
from behind the brush pile, hoping to
win. No wonder people are moving out
of Iowa into northwestern Canada.
Nothing viii progress tremendously in
Iowa politics until the old relics of past
generation have been eremated and
their ashes buried in an unknown
grave. To change the subject, let's go
fishing!

WISE sELF-RDsTRATNT.

[Des tAfoines Register and Leader.1
II would have been a fatal blunder
on many accounts If the insurgents
had consented to depose Speaker Can
non.
They would by that vote have d.
verted their whole purpose which has
been to secure fair committee assign
ments, and fair consideration of public
measures. and laid themselves open
to the charge of personal hostility to
the speaker.
But that is not by any means the
important consideration when the
strategy of politics is considered as it
must be when factions are at each
others threats. They would, with the
speaker deposed, at once become re-
sponsible for the conduct of the house,
and that would be suicidal in the pres
ent situation. For the reactionaries,
whether they We're justified or not,
would say that they were justified in
refusing to lend the least assistance.
Speaker Cannon while his term lasts
is much better in the speakers chair
than out of it. The issue has never
been one personal to the speaker, any
more than 1t. has been one personal to
Judge Smith and Mr.. Dalzell, members
Of the rules committee. What the pro-
gressive republicans want is square
deal on the committees and in the
transaction Of business and that they
can not get, no matter who is speaker
under the present organization.
The proressives are before the
country exactly as they might wish to

Topics of the Times

It IS only an incident but it points
to the universal spirit of Improvement
which has come over Iowa as the re-
suit of the law enforcement policies of
the present attorney general of the
stated. Weed laws We had in Iowa for
years, but it has remained for this
year to see the road supervisors and
township trustees of the various coun-
ties Of the state coming together to
consider practical methods for eradi-
eating weeds, pursuant 10 a command
from the attorney generals office. The
Hon. S. B. Packard, formerly a power
on the state board Of agriculture has
written letter to a personal friend in
Des Moines, inquiring, rs not state
rich that has even one such an officer as
Iova's attorney general?" He had seen
in a newspaper that the eighty ght
townsf1i ptrustees Of Polk county had
convened under instructions from the
attmner general to enforce Iowa's anti
wesd ANs.
It can be depended upon that the
liquor interests of Iowa viii have only
one candidate for the republican nom
ination for attorney general. They will
not scatter nor-will they go anywhere

ROOSEVELT AND THE TAFT WAY

1t is very likely that the rate law
does need some amendment; but the
law has not stood very long and the
prospects just now for materially i'm
proving it are not good. But while
there is thus warrant for Indifference
in respect TO the bill the question of
legislation by executive initiative is
one that ought to be settled-and set
tied in the negative. There was a good
deal of that sort of legislating in the
Roosevelt administration; but Roose-
welt was strong with the people. knew
in general sense what he wanted and
did not insist. even when he was more
interested, in taking wholly out of the
hands of congress the work of framing
legislation. But President Taft has a
different scheme Not having so clear
ly defined opinions as to what he wants
anyhow, he appoints, as in this case.
a commission to go over the subject
and make up policy for him. The
report of his commission he turns over
to the attorney general with instruc-
tons to fix up a law, and the law he
sends over to the capitol with instruc-
lions to the republican leaders in the
senate and house to put 1T thru. We
have not yet seen any conspicuous in
stances of the measure thus presented
actually going thru.

BUT SERVICE DID NOT COUNT.

ICedar Rapids Gazette.1
The Gazette does not believe that
anyone can honestly claim that John
Cownie has not given the state excep-
tionally honest service. MIR. Cownie
has taken a very deep interest in his
work; he has devoted his time con-
stantly to the states business; he has
been economical. Possibly he has been
too much of a "tightwad" for some of
the interests which have been lighting
him; but in these days of extravaganza
in public office an occasional tight
wad" may be good thing. It is quite
generally known that Cownie has stood
in the way Of interests that would not
have cared how much money the state
expended.

YOUR GIRL AND HER COMPANY.

Manchester. Press.]
The mother who allows 16-year-old
daughter to float around the township
in a top buggy until 2 a. m. with a
counterfeit sport of weak jaw and
weaker morals merely opens the front
door to grief and disgrace. If you don't
know what company your girl keeps or
what time of night she turns in, your
roar when the gossips get busy will
sound about as pathetic as the wheeze
from jewsharp. The girl who insists
on spooning with everybody in the COR
porate limits ought to be backed into
the woodshed and relieved of her over
flow of affection with a No. IL slipper
laid carelessly across the hiplets. We
had sooner see girl kiss a blind
shoat thru a barbed wire fence than
have her change partners six nights a
week in the front parlor with the lights
turned low. It is harder to marry off
girl who has been paved over by every
zap in the community than it is to
fatten a sheep on pineapple ice. You
can't gold brick a sharpeyed sutton
with second hand goods, any more than
you can fit bathrobe on a goat. There
are lots of weak minded parents who
are going up against the judgment day
with about as much show as a cross
eyed girl in a. beauty show, and their
children will rise up and call them
blessed with the enthusiasm of a one
legged man at club dance.

five or six inches beyond the edge OF

throw its center of gravity outside OF

for the jury whether the trainnen by
