THE MOSQUITO.

The delay in the arrival of Mr.. Fly
due to the inclination shown by Miss
Summer to delay the arrival of he1
visit with us this year, has moved
come "swat the fly" enthusiast to turn
his batteries on the mosquitoes. He
gives the following facts on the mos.
ouito and the best methods for his ex
termination:
One mosquito bite may hold a
thousand malaria germs
A rain barrel full of water-a
house full of mosquitoes.
One tomato can half full of water
ran produce thousand mosquitoes
Stagnant water in the caves OF
the roofs brings mosquitoes, mos.
nuitoes make sickness; sickness
makes doctors bills.
When you clean up the yard
front and back-to make the place
look tidy, don't overlook the mos
quitoe's breeding place.
Mosquitoes have been discovered
to be practically the sole agency by
which malaria Is transmitted. If you
never get bitten by a mosquito,
you probably will never have ma
laria, which, by the way, is not a
harmless disease, as many may
think, but a dangerous one that's
likely to lead to serious or fatal i'll
ness.
Mosquitoes grow in stagnant
water-not necessarily In big
swamps and marshes either. but in
any old still water, even If it's no
more than can be held by curled
up dead leaf or an old tomato can. II
you would be free of mosquitoes,
don't allow water to stand anywhere
about the yard, in pools, cans, bar
rels, old buckets or the caves of the
roof.
If you have a cistern or rain
barrel keep it tightly screened.
Don't allow pools Of water to stand
In the yard or gutter or street after
rain. If you can't drain the water
off, pour a little kerosene on it.
That will kill every mosquito egg in
1t, and prevent others forming. If
the water stays on the ground, re-

SEEKING THE VICE PRESIDENCY

SEEKING THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
Some O. the eastern newspapers are
commenting on the sudden manifesto
ton Of interest in the vice presidency
noted in both parties. Among the
Roosevelt supporters Gov. johnson or
California and Gov. Hadley OF MISSOURI
have been mentioned, and the remain
ing five of the seven governors VINO
started the Roosevelt boom are casting
covetous eyes in the direction OF the
vice presidency On the TAFT side
Vice President Sherman Is said to be
perfectly willing to 60 on the ticket
again for an office which In late years
has not been much sought after. Among
the democrats Senator O'Gorman OF
New York, Congressman Redfield OF
the same state, Mayor Fitzgerald OF
Boston and Mayor Preston OF Baltl-
more are said to be in receptive
mood.
Since 1900 there has been something
Of a scramble to get away from the
vice presidency. In that year Roose-
welt took the Office under protest and
he finished the term as president.
Four years ago an attempt was made
to nominate Senator Dolliver, and
from all outward appearances the Job
was Delivers If he would say the word
but he prevailed on his friends to
block the move.
Commenting on the disposition
shown to seek the Office the New York
World says the vice presidency is an
Office Of dignity and potential RESPONSE
bility. and candidates for 1t should
possess qualifications secondary only
to those required OF presidential can
didates. The development OF compe-
tition for the position among party
leaders is hopeful sign.
AS a matter of record, four vice
presidents were afterward elected to
the presidency-John Adams, Je1er-
son. Van Buren, and Roosevelt. Five
succeeded to the presidency-Tyler,
Fillmore, Johnson, Arthur and Roose-
welt. On the other hand, six vice.
presidents died in off1ce-Clinton.
Gerry, Rufus King, Wilson. Hendricks
and Hobart. But one, John G. Cal
houn. resigned.

LAFE YOUNG FOR cUMMINs.

Des Moines Capital: Iowa wants
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Des
Moines, nominated for president at
the coming Chicago convention.
The overwhelming victory Of Sena-
tor w. S. Kenyon at the polls Monday
can be considered in no other way
than an unqualified and ringing in
dorsement of Senator Cummins and a
vote of approval for him and his can
didacy.
Senator Cummins was behind Sen
ator Kenyon He came from Wash
ington to Des Moines to let the people
of Iowa know where he stood on the
question of senatorial preference. On
the other hand Senator Kenyon made
the race in Iowa on a platform Of in
dorsement of Senator A. B. Cummins
as republican candidate for president.
TIE outcome is plain. Iowa is for
Senator Cummins for president or for
a candidate who stands for progress
sive principles. If the selection OF
delegates to the Chicago convention
had been left to the voters of Iowa
Senator Cummins would have won.
Instead of the delegation standing
sixteen for Taft and ten for Cummins
as was chosen at the Cedar Rapids
convention, the delegation would be
unanimously for Senator Cummins
had the choice been left to presi-
dental primary
With the overwhelming vote for Sen
ators Cummins and Kenyon before 1t
The Capital Is convinced that the for
mer should have the vote of the Iowa
delegation to the Chicago convention.
Sixteen of the delegates to the Chi
cago convention from Iowa are in
structed for President Taft. These in
structions should not be violated. But
as soon as they have been fulfilled,
the delegation should throw it's entire
strength to Senator Cummins. This
of course In case Taft is not nominated
on the first ballot which seems I'M
likely.
The candidacy of Senator Cummins
is becoming each day more popular
throughout the nation The tremend-
Gus vote Of confidence given him at
the Iowa primaries Monday will aug
ment this popular favor. But the can
didacy cannot become formidable at
Chicago unless Iowa's candidate has
the unanimous backing Of the Iowa
delegation.

Thompson Courier-The Forest City
papers report that tramp recently
broke into house near town, after
he had been offered work. which he
declined, and that he was arrested,
given lecture and turned loose. We
don't quite get that. Does such a
course tend to uphold the dignity of
the law or restrain the future actions
of the offender? How does Winnie
bago county justify herself in turning
sion that he can do the same act with
tmpunity in some other county and
60 q little farther with It? Suppose the
fellow, goes over into Hancock does
the same thing but meets with resis-
lance and kills somebody? The debt
we owe to society in the suppression
Of crime is not paid by driving the
criminal of our premises into those
of our neighhors. About thirty days
in the county Jail during this nice
weather would have made that fellow
hesitate before he did the Job again.
Marshalltown Times-Republican-
Overdress, and under work, lack OF
any responsibility in the home or
abroad. social idiocy, the natural de.
sire for good time and the parental
weakness which listens to the plea
that the Soandso girls don't have to
tell their folks where they are going
and where and with whom they have
been, too much running wild and not
enough Homework, the theory that Il
had to work hard when l was girl
and my. girls simply shan't," picture
shows, theaters, dances and spoony
scenes until midnight, and breakfast
after the rest have gone to work. these
which lie behind the pitiful story
which runs from lip to lip, whispered
in families, canvassed loudly In the
pool rooms and lived in an agony of
shame In the home where it's shadow
settles.
Cedar Rapids Gazette-One of the
men elected to the cabinet Of bishops
by the recent Methodist conference at
Minneapolis, Is Dr. Homer c. Stuntz,
we'll known in this city and through
out this section of Iowa. DR.. Stuntz
has preached or spoken in Cedar
Rapids many times. For a number Of
years he was located at Mt. Vernon.
He has a host of friends who are more
than gratified at his advancement.
DR.. Stuntz began his ministry in the
upper Iowa conference, being station
ed first at Chelsea, small town out
in Tama county, about forty-five miles
west of Cedar Rapids. 1t was ex-
tremely fitting, therefore. that the new
bishop should do the thing he did
yesterday--go to Chelsea to preach his
first sermon after his elevation to his
new position in the church DR..
Stuntz came to Cedar Rapids Satur-
day fr In Minneapolis. and quietly
departed for Chelsea Saturday night
1t was fine thing for the bishop,
fine tribute to the people of his first
parish, and it has made Stuntz still
bigger man.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT

Des Moines Tribune: Here Is an
item of news from Minneapolis that
ought to attract the attention Of Iowa
road builders: "The board Of county
commissioners, sitting as committee
of the whole, today passed resolu-
ton to build one mile of concrete road
on Superior boulevard, beginning at
the city limit at Wayzata, and the ac-
ton will come before the board Mon
day for ratification. The general agent
Of the Portland Cement Co., who was
present, told the committee of visit
to Wayne county, Mich, where he said
there was several miles of concrete
He said that fourteen feet of roadway
with four feet shoulders on each side
to the drain was sufficient for ordi-
nary travel" Iowa has two Of the
greatest cement plants in the United
States, and an unlimited supply of
raw material If cement Is being used
everywhere else for hard surface
roads why should Iowa not at least
make a beginning? There Is no ma
terial out of which permanent roads
can be made. so accessible, 50 cheap,
and so durable, as cement. A cement
roadway can easily be repaired also.
The smaller cities are using It for
pavements, but thus far we have not
ventured it on country roads. Why
does not some Iowa board of super
visors order in mile of cement road
for trial?
