Cedar Rapids Republican,: The pro-
ducta of the state institutions of Iowa
now aggregate about $500, 900 which Is
that much of a step toward making
them self sustaining. OF these pro-
ducts 5000, 900 came from the diaries,
the farms and the garden, and 100000
from manufactures. The products
raised on the institutional farms are
mostly consumed in the institutions.
So far as foods are concerned, the in
stitutions will eventually be made al
most self sustaining. The present
hoard of control has not allowed the
farms OF the institutions to deteri-
crate. Mr.. Wade, the farmer member
Of t. e board, has continued and de-
yeloped the excellent farm methods
which were introduced by the board in
it's earlier years, especially under the
influence Of John Cownie.

What Joe Long Might Do.

Des Moines Capital: Joe Long con-
tinues to publish his monthly maya
zine called THE Roadmaker." 1t Is n
publication that would do credit to
the city of New York. We wish Mr..
Long would PROFOUND a few questions
to candidates for the legislature on
the subject of "the expenditure Of
road funds" The township trustees OF
Iowa will handle local funds for road
purposes during the year 1912
amounting to $4,000, 900. In addition
there will be in the state treasury
over one-half million dollars from the
automobile tax. The state ought to get
some good out of these taxes. The
chances are that the state will not
get the full amount of good. The en-
tire road working system ought to be
revolutionized. Business methods
ought to be introduced. The taxpayer
ought to be getting more for his
money. There ought to be more money
spent in sending good roads literature
to every candidate for the legislature
regardless of his party. The legislature
ought to come together with some
knowledge OF the road question. In
December there ought to be a good
roads convention held in this city and
every m~ember-elect Of thhe legisla-
ture ought to be present. The trou-
BILE will be that in December the
members-elect will be feeling so big
that they won't allow a man to talk
with them on the subject of good
roads.

save The Birds.

Dubuque Tim%es-Journal: Save the
birds to destroy the insects which
harm the crops. With but few ex-
ceptions, there is no reason why
any bird other than the game variety
should be killed at all. 1ndis-
criminate slaughter of birds Is a
brutal practice, anyhow, and Is cal
culated to develop a mania for TAX
ing life which may, and perhaps often
does, lead to murder. The boy
who will use a niger shooter or a
gun to kill birds merely to see
them die, is c%ultivating a passion
which should be suppressed, and the
teacher and the parent should teach
boys that this is wrong, that it Is
not sport, and that it Is unmanly to
wish to u needless suffering to
any living creature.

TWO 100000 CAMPAIGNS.

Sioux City Journal: What vas all
that fuss about in Wisconsin? The
allegation was that Senator Stephen
son had bought his way into the United
States senate, wasn't It? Yes, that
was 1t. Senator Stephenson owned up
to having spent more than 500, 900
CARRYING the senatorial primary. I'M
m~ediately a cry went up that such q
vast sum couldn't have been expended
honestly in carrying the primary, and
that senator stephenson's right to
hold his seat must be Investigated.
The investigation disclosed more or
less scandal. Although 1t did not re-
suit in the %unseating of the Wisconsin
senator the close of the investigation
found everybody agreeing to the prop
osition that such a lavish use of funds
In primary campaigns was demon
alizine and reprehensible. AS a direct
consequence Of the Wisconsin incident
a law was passed limiting the primary
expenditures of senatorial candidates
to one-tenth OF the sum spent by Sen
ator Stephenson.
The wisconsin scandal is recalled
now by the fact that Boss Finn OF
Pittsburgh has Just owned up to
letting go Of 100000 Of his personal
funds to carry the Pennsylvania presi-
Dental primary for Theodore Roose-
welt. Please understand this 100000
was not all the money spent by Boss
Finn during the primary campaign.
Not at all. 1t represented only what
could be traced directly to expendi-
lures in the interest Of Roosevelt for
president. Other large sums were used
by the boss for organization work
without charging them to the. Roose-
welt account, although OF course the
chief end Of the organization was to
O a Roosevelt victory. The point,
however, is here: IF It was morally
wrong for Senator Stephenson to spend
500. 900 to carry the Wisconsin sena-
torial primary, was 1t not morally
wrong for Boss Finn to spend $780,
900 or more to carry the Pennsyl-
yania presidential primary? II it is
right to limit a senatorial candidate
to the expenditure of $4,000 to carry
a state would it not be right to limit
expenditures in the interest of a presi-
Dental candidate to a similar amount
in every state?
Surely the virtual purchase Of the
presidency would be more reprehepsi-
bic than the virtual purchase OF a
senatorship.
