The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy
and the sudden and unexpected de-
velopments Of the last few days
threaten at this time to cause such
political storm as the country has
not seen In years. At the " te
House, the Capitol, in the leading no.
tells and in many private homes con.
ferences were held, but no one will
at this time even hazard a guess as
to what the developments of the
next few days may be- Aside from
the personality Of both Ballinger and
Pinchot, and from the question OF
which of them may be right with re-
gard to the country's conservation
policies, the fact stands out first and
foremost that an issue cannot be
avoided, which, in the opinion Of
many persons. will bring former
President Roosevelt back into the
political arena as the Republican
candidate for President in 1912. This
being the case that party would be
split from Maine to California, and
the tremendous vote Of the Western
States would be swung In line for, the
candidate Of the Democratic party.
It Is realized here that this is a
fight which will undoubtedly last for
long time and be far reaching in
Its political results.

lowing story this evening:

SUBSCRIBING CORN.

A movement is ON in illinois to raise
a $4,000 purse to be divided among
farmers who raise over 100 bushels OF
corn to the acre.
Corn is no infant industry but jf
$50, 900 spent inducing farmers to grow
stead Of on twenty would double bank
deposits. build barns and generally
create business all over the corn coun-
try it would be the best Of all bargains.
If half the farms of Grundy, Marshall,
Tama, nlrlin, Wright, Story and the
other premier corn counties OF Iowa
were to succeed in raising 100 bushels
to the acre money would pour into the
towns in torrents and good land i'm
gnediately sell at $3.50 an acre.
We counsel subsidies for beet sugar,
we pay tariff on all sugar in order to
encourage the beet raiser; the beggars
for a ship subsidy never sleep. but the
corn grower goes it alone" When
subsidy for 100 bushel corn is consid-
cred he chips in to raise the money.
He doesn't send a powerful lobby TO
washington and fill the mails full OF
publicity matter and pleadings under
the frank of some congressman or SEN
ator. But If ever any man or class OF
men deserved subsidy it is they who
make two ears of corn grow where one
grew before.
One hundred bushels OF corn to the
acre. Get out your pencil and watch
the figures grow.

A GOOD PLACE FOR A $40 BILL.

The most expensive vice on earth
Is ignorance and the most lamertable
and expensive ignorance is that which
lacks ordinary knowledge Of simple pre-
caution against disease.
Yet hundreds Of mothers bear chill
dren Of whose proper care they are
utterly ignorant, STAY them by ignor-
ance of proper feeding and healthful
care and agonize to see them die:
families sicken with typhoid because
they are ignorant Of common santa
ton; the sick lie and suffer torrents
that the cornrronest remedies might
relieve: cesspools breed diseases; chill
dren go blind from the Mattentive ig
norance of parents; the lack OF com
mon sense and sanitary training kills
more persons In one year than wal
kills in a century and costs more wealth
In six months than Is represented by
the national debt.
Sickness is expensive When the
head Of the family lies in bed he pays
the cost and none pay wages. Death
Is expensive. Funerals cost money and
the worker who dies in his siren 9Th
is an asset removed from earning
power. Not only those dependent on
him but the community Of which he Is
part loses. Ignorance of how to live
and keep living is an economic waste
Putting aside all other responsibility
and from a sordid m oney getting view
point the teaching OF sanitation and
physical common sense is a paying
business for the community; visiting
nurses are a good investment. They
VIII bring big returns. The time viii
come when teachers and helpers will
be paid from the public purse and The

even above that OF the nulrIplicatfor
table as a necessity Of education. A

THE MAIN WORKS.

Inc stare Centrat CONNlee mas exeI-
cfsed wisdom and good horse sense in
it's selection of Senator Cunlmins for
temporary chairman of the state con-
vention. The committee waited until
after the various county delegates had
been elected at the primaries and when
it was known that the convention
would contain majority Of delegates
favorable to Cummins and Dolliver the
committee named C1mmins to preside
convention will now select Senator
Dolliver for permanent chairman the
peroration will have been made ap-
propriate and convincing.
It should be remembered that this
state convention is something separate
and aside from the state campaign
for nominations. There was time
when no contest for Governor Carroll
denomination was contemplated. Then
notice was served by a so-called Taft
republican club that every precinct in
the state was to be organized for Taft.
A glance at the personnel of the COM
mittee disclosed an aggregation of the
arch enemies of Senator Clr1nrnins and
it was easy to see what a convention
in their hands would do to Cummins
the convention became inevitable. In
order to join issue all along the line
and TO put an able, strong man in the
governors chair in place Of a weak one
the contest for a nomination for gov
ernor was included. Contests for con-
sressiunal nominations had already
been announced.
The result was the gain OF one con-
gresham to the progressives by battle
and one by concession. The reaction
aries saved the governor and three
congressional nominations which they
already had but the main works still
remained the convention. Here it was
that the two Iowa senators and the
congressman who had stood with them
would either be endorsed for theil
stand at Washington or rebuked. The
reactioraries advertised to the world
that because a mediocre governor had
been given the precedented second
term over the desire of the senators
that thereby the senators had been
rebuked by the voters. The selection OF
Prouty to take Hulls place they rec
ognized only as an incident. Now
however, the party's state convention
is to meet and draft a platform which
shall speak to Aldrich and to the ma
ton just what Iowa republicans think
about their representatives. Nothing
VIII be said particularly humtliatirg &c
the president. He is not in danger, but
the speech of the temporary chairman
viii sound something like the voice o.
Indiana when Senator Beveridge pre-
sided. The main works, the conven-
ton, will be manned by progressives
