There are seven hundred saloons
less in Iowa than on the first Of
July and the number has decreased
1900 in the past six or seven years.
The loss of the men who operated
these places, many of whom have
left the state, may have something
to do with the unsatisfactory census
showing of 1910. Who knows but
that the nigeria of saloonkeepers
and taxdodgers is what reduced the
population a few thousand as conf
pared with ten years ago? And If
Sc, who will regret the reduction?

1.-THE land of fulfilled promises
That's Iowa and the Mount Vernon
Hawk-Eye deserves credit for coin
ing the phrase. There are plenty
of lands of promise, but mighty few
lands of fulfilled promises. He.e
in Iowa we know the phrase conveys
truth and nothing but the truth.
The appearance of Iowa soil prom
ises much. It looks rich and fertile
and no man was ever yet deceived
when he put his confidence and his
money and his energy into it. Yer
lily, Iowa is the land of fulfilled
promises.
Senator Paynter of Kentucky.
member of the whitewashing COM
mittee of the senate that did such
bungling job in the Lorimer case, is
not a candidate for reelection and
il looks now as though Ollie James
would get the toga. Mr.. James is
brother-in-law to Prof. Ford, for
merly of this city, and has been here
upon one or two occasions. He has
some acquaintances in Webster City
who would be glad to see him trans
ferred from the lower house OF con-
gress, where he has been serving tor
years, to a seat in the upper branch.
Senator Nelson is for Taft. The
term of service of the senior senator
from Minnesota will expire in 1913,
and he has a personal interest in
1912. Senator Clapp has recently
had an extension of time until 1917,
and feels that he has nothing to
lose in standing for LaFollette.-
Sioux City Journal.
The Journal certainly places lit
tie confidence in the patriotism OF
M,nnesota's senators. According to
the logic of the Sioux City paper,
Nelson is for Taft because it Will
help Nelson and Clapp is for LaFol-
lette because Clapp will be benefit
TED.
1t now looks as though the demo-
cratic house of representatives IS
going to block the proposition for
the election of senators by direct
vote. By a strict party vote the
senate resolution in favor of it has
been defeated in the lower house. If

The Sioux City Journal thinks
Kenyon is all right and that IS
what the people of Iowa think.
All noxious weeds, except Col.
Youngs senatorial aspirations, seem
to be thriving regardless of the
weather.
Will Payne, the talented standpat

president in preference to Taft.

When the thermometer was HOY
ering around the zero point last
winter we all thought hot weather
more preferable. 1t is easier to be
dissatisfied than satisfied with the
weather.
Remember the horse and other
animals in your charge during the
excessive hot weather. They suffer
as much as you and more If neg

fresh water.
There is really no need of addi-
tional evidence in the Lorimer case.

and the trial this time is before a

No doubt, but Iowa republicans
ere not looking for a candidate who

The friendship Of the Illinois poll

politician in that state who will not
help a friend buy seat in the Unit

No, it is not claimed that the pro-
posed reciprocity agreement with
Canada is responsible fer the in
crease in the price Of corn. The
weather alone, which threatens to
curtail the crop, caused the upward
tendency in the market.
Reports say that when the gas
meter on the Maine was discovered
the other day it was running full
tilt just as it was on the day the
ship was sunk by that explosion.
That is what the gas men would call
a most reliable piece Of machinery.
It is reported that land in GER
tain sections of North and South
Dakota can be bought at from $40
to $40 per acre cheaper than the
price two years ago, due to the ex-
cessive dry weather. But Iowa land
keeps right on hitting only the high
places.
Corn needs warm weather, but
there is limit in the amount OF
heat it can stand. Much Of the Iowa
crop has already been seriously dam
aged by the excessive heat OF the
past two weeks. 1t is doing better
here in the central part Of the state
than in most sections.

If William Howard Taft was a
novice in politics, as stated by some
Of his friends when elected to the
presidency, it must be conceded that
he is an alfred apt scholar. Today
he is regarded as one of the most
astute politicians who ever occupied
the white house, not excepting that
postmaster, Theodore Roosevelt.

Col. Young is to be commended
for the self-restraint he exhibited
the other day. An issue of the Cap

attack upon either of Iowa's sena-

There have been many shrewd
men in our public life who have
been able to keep their ears to the
ground and guess as to the current
of popular prejudice. But not one
of them is remembered today-Reg-

Senator Allison was a good ear
grounder and he is very much re-
mcmbered today. Is it not well to
listen to the voice of the people:
Must man in public life disregard

CREIGHTON SECURES
MIDWAY ADJUSTMENTS
Will Show on the Fair Grounds In the
Day Time and Down Town
at Night.

Ned Creighton who will have charge
of the midway for the fair commission
returned yesterday from a trip to Los
Angeles and san Francisco where he
went To see what could be secured in
the line Of shows and other amuse-
ments. He reports that he was quite
successful and viii have eight big feat
ure shows in addition to a number OF
ordinary carnival alurements. He
promises that the midway will be Il
center Of interest all the time and that
there will be nothing offensive in con-
nection with it.
Among the features secured aside
from the shows. are two smoke ballons
with parachute jumpers. one will be
for use in the afternoon and the 9TH
or in the forenoon. The afternoon eX-
hibition will take place in front Of the
grand stand and will be an ascension
and leap by a notable woman aeronaut.
The other will be n positive novelty
and will be strictly a midway attrac-
ton as the ascension will be made in
the forenoon from the midway grounds.
The jumper in this case is a monkey
who has been trained to take the daily
ride. performing his trapeze stunts in
the upper air and at the proper eleva-
ton. cutting himself loose for a joy
ride back to earth.
The commission appreciates fully
that it cannot afford to bring these
shows to the fair solely for the pat
ronage they will receive on the
grounds and to that end Mr. Creighton
has secured the permission Of the city
council To give night entertainments
down town. moving the necessary par
aphcrnalia and talent back and forth
night and morning That will be
something Of a task but not half as big
Il one as shifting around the Ringing
and other aggregations. which is done
successfully.
There is no available place down
town for the entire aggregation to-
pitch its tents together but two lots
not far apart have been secured for
the purpose. one is the north half OF
the vacant east half Of the block on
which the Gold hotel stands. The 9th
er is the Thalheimer lot on the north
east corner Of Third and Washington
streets the site of the old Airdome the
ater The two groups Of shows will
be under one management though
on opposite sides Of the street.

The other day an acquaintance Of
mine had his attention called to the
fact that an enamcled kitchen sink
that had been put in his home some
six months before was peeling badly.
Ordinarily such a defect would have
meant getting a new sink at the origin
al cost or getting along with an i'm
perfect one.
But such was not the case here.
There was a trademark on that
sink that stood for something. 1t
stood for the makers guarantee that
if the sink showed any imperfectiOns
within the first year of its service a
new one would be put in its place.
All that my acquaintance had to do
was to sit down and write out a state
ment about the defective sink; in a
few days a new sink was put in with
out protest or without a penny Of eX-
pense.
This was a mighty fine example of
the difference between advertised
goods and nOn-advertised goods. The
manufacturer Of the nOn-advertised
plumbing fixture has little to lose in
a case Of this sort, if he refuses to
replace the defective goods. His
goods are just sinks, washbasins, bath
tubs, etc; the general public does not
know them by any special name; if
