TO De immediate and by arbitration

There is reason TO hope that strikes

loss are to be abolished and common
sense and recognition OF human rights
substituted. The signs point that way.
The public has assumed its place as

prone To accept compromise. T. they

TWENTIETH CENTURY BLOOD THIRST,

The aviation week in Chicago took
its toll of life. Men were killed as
predicted and expected The meet went
on.
At Indianapolis and previous auto
mobile races men We're nangled and
died under their machines as was pre-
dicted and expected. The races went
on
No machine missed an explosion be-
cause a driver and his mechanician
went out of the game and out of the
world except the wrecked car which
crushed them.
In all this there is Q touch Of the
ancient ampitheater of embattled glad
iators and the blood mad populace
which crowded to satisfy it's blood
thirst In our modern contests wherein
men die under the eyes of crowds the
hook is busy dragging away the dead
and the spolarium is crowded with
corpses. But the sports do not slacken
nor interest abate
Men race and fly for money and
reputation. So they fought in the
arena under the eye Of the imperator.
They accept the chances of death on
narrow tracks and against untowar
atmospheric conditions because the
crowd is there greedy for fresh excite
ment and new thrills. The crowd de-
mands immediate action. 1t paid for
its thrill and means to have it on
time. The careful man is a coward
to the crowd. 1t demands risk The
more risk the greater satisfaction
Crowds have not changed much, per-
haps, since they leaned for forward
from their seats in the Coliseum to
watch a shrewd sword cut drive home
to the life. Said a man who pursues
a hazafdous vocation because crowds
pay to see him risk his life, You can
go out there and argue and explain
conditions TO any individual in that
crowd to his satisfaction. He'll be

THE PIcAYuNE METHOD.

The Chckasaw county fair is in bad
with the newspapers of Chickasaw
county. None of the county newspapers
Will accept its advertising or make any
kind OF mention OF the fair.
1t appears that the job printing for
the fair was given to Mason City firms
by the president of the fair association
for reasons not given, probably a shade
in the cost under the Chickasaw print
ers Then the editorial association of
Chickasaw got busy in an agreement to
refuse publicity. And SO the fair lacks
one OF the most important elements OF
success
1t is hard on the fair: but it was
nard on these newspaper publishers
and printers who have boosted the fair
year after year tc see the money their
boosting brought to the fair ground
gates sent outside the county on cut
price. If Chickasaw newspapers are
like other newspapers they have set
free column after column of fair stuff
for which private firms and individuals
pay straight advertising rates if they
get IT. The fact is that in any county
in Iowa the county fair association is
strong on publicity and extremely weak
III paid advertising. And in some coun-
ties the fair association is practically a
private corporation.
A picayune policy With the newspa-
pers is the worst possible policy in
Chickasaw or elsewhere. The assump-
ton that the newspa pers must give up
their space gratis to the county fair
association is not better founded than
an assumption that the merchants of
the county must pay the premium list
The newspapers readily accord extreme
courtesy to pubuic or semipubic en-
terp~ises They are justified when they
meet extreme discourtesy as it de-
serves to be treated.

EDDYyILLE'S OILED STREETS.
rEddvyille Tribune1

For several weeks Eddyville's street
sprinkling system has lain practically
idle. We believe from observation OF
the oiled streets in Los Angeles and
other cities Of the west, that oiling is
a more practical solution Of the prob
lem than to attempt to lay the dust by
sprinkling Our former townsman, w.
w. belong, in recent issue Of his
paper, the Greenfield (Ohio) Republic
can, tells Of the success of oiled streets
in Greenfield, which is a city of 5000
people:
The progressive policy of the present
mayor and council has been strongly
emphasized by the adoption of many
much needed improvements blu in no
one thing more than the oiling of the
streets. Sufficient time has now
elapsed since the innovation to con-
vince the most skeptical that it is an
unqualified success in every particular.
Aside from the prime object Of laying
the dust, which 1t does in the most
complete manner, the dark color Of the
streets produced by applying the oil
has pleasant and cooling effect to the
eye. About the highest cost on any
street has been cents q front foot:
Oh the marrow residence .t-eets the
cost has been about 3 cents and one
street cost 2 cents front foot.
