THE UNION STATION IDEA


Sad it is. indeed. that the depot
situation in Waterloo is so desperate
as to give an opportunity for this sort
OF reasoning. But let US detach our
selves from the small angles OF the
case in Waterloo. Let Us imagine a
city Of 10000 to 10000 people with four
railway stations justified on the
ground of inability Of the roads TO get
together. Then let US look at Boston
with it's nearly million Inhabitants and
only two stations, New York with its
100000 and also only twp. While Chi
cago has as many stations az the rail-
way presidents contemplate for Water
loo. it mas s,560,66 peopss. st. Louis,
with its 100000 people, has only one
depot.
The idea Of so many passenger sta
tons for Waterloo is utterly preposter-
Gus. Can not two big railways get to-
gether on a proposition Ike this when
dozens OF systems cooperate to the
same end in the large cities? It IL in
convenient enough to transfer ones
baggage between stations in great
cities like Chicago, New York and Bos-
ton. yet one feels here tina. there may

CONTROLLING MEAT PRICES

The best suggestion that has ap-

of living on meat has come from the
department of agriculture at Wash

rRAnscoh1INEn1AL BEST ROUTE

After careful examination of eevry
route across Iowa and in spite Of ire
mendous pressure from influential per-
sons in behalf of the road from Daven-
port to Des Moines the officers of the
Lincoln Highway Association have
designated the Transconrinental road
as the route for the Lincoln highway
because it is the natural route of easiest
grades and most direct travel.
In response 10 q com plant from Iowa

vice president thus gives his reasons in
q letter as follows:

neck and neck race between them to
see who can saw the most wood. A
docket seriously congessed owing to
illness OF former judges will now be
cleared away and lawyers with cases
which they do not want to try had bet
ter settle or they will soon be called up
in court.
Judge Cummings comes to the bench
like Judge Nichols, with something
more than knowledge of the practice
of law. He has been a successful bus
mess man in large affairs. He has had
successful experience in politics where
he has learned to know men. He has
been a distinct success as member OF
the school board. And years ago he
made good as county prosecutor. NO
cause, however momentous, will come
into his court but what it will be met
with a keenness of understanding rare
in the average court. Decisions will be
rendered with sincerity and with
fearless independence OF character
dominant force in his court. There Will
never be any fear that this or tiat
lawyer can influence this court and ut
igants can also depend upon square
deal for justice even should they nave
made an unfortunate guess III the Sc
lection of their advocates.
There will be a bluntness and direct
ness Of speech in Judge Cummings
court which will jar at first until It is
understood TO be meant in ali kinoness
and fairness for the music and sheen
of meaningless rhetoric has never in
numbered Frank Cummings. In fact
the responsibilities Of his new position
may temper his manner OF speech ana
modulate his tones but when he at
tempts 10 express an opinion when -
strong within him his remarks will fan
with the thunps Of hickory cruz
rather than with the art Of rapier
.hrus.s. but they will have the merit
OF being easily understood and when II
is all over there Will be nothing re-
naming with the court but kindness
and good will toward all. And II
little child De involved in the viciSsi-
.u6es O. the penalties of his court
-ao-, the tears Of an unbounded SYM
pathy will gush forth and course down
a face which had seemed 10 reflect
harsh and uncompromising heart. The
new Judge will be able and fearless
and fair. but attorneys will at times
experience great difficulty ii showing
him that they are right.
Aside from the merit of the az
poinree Governor Clarke has acted
wisely in appointing Marshalltown
Judge. Marshall county has more bust
ness in this court than the other two
counties of the district combined There
is distinct public need for resident
Judge here at all times. This is con-
cede by every lawyer IN the district.
In this case the appointee is the choice
of the local bar which is also as IT
should be, attic there Is always Danger
in that for the reason that SO many
votes are cast in any bar association
that are no more competent expressions
than those of a petition about town,
but where a bar is practically unan-
imous as in this case, there Is great
hopes for the wisdom of the selection.

GRAVEL ROADS IN GREENE.
Jefferson Bee.1

Those who are making so much conn
plant of the condition Of Greene coun-
tvs grayeled roads should remember
that an excessively CRY season is es-
pecialiy trying to these roads, while in
wet weather they shine. Every sand
pocket is now cut out, making the gray-
eled roads roughs in places. and there
is no way to prevent this condition on
a graveied road. But let it rain for a
week, making dirt roads impossible.
and the sraveled roads will come into
their own again. We know that the
graveled roads ought to be made nlucn
better than they are, but we feel like
interposing a word just now in behalf
of the best ali weather roads in Iowa.

The First Easter.
In the gray dawn, of one morning,
long. long ago, two grief stricken
women hurried toward the tomb in the
garden which was near the place of
crucifxion.
It seemed as though years Of wait
ing, of hoping, of eager looking for the
long promised Messiah, had ended in
the agony and humiliation of death
upon the cross.
Not with expectations of great re-
ward, did these faithful women hasten
early to the tomb which belonged to
Joseph, of Arimathea-
The disciples, one and ALL were as
stricken sheep, whose shepherd had
been slain. They saw no earthly glory
shining through the clouds of gloom.
which lay about them; but their de-
voted love did not WAIVER.
What vision for tear dimmed
eyes and aching hearts was that empty
tomb,
At first they Old not understand. Ex-
pecting the further persecution of his
enemies they seemed, at first to think
that his body had been taken away
But when the hour seemed darkest.
when hope was bowed low in the
presence of grief. out of the darkness
bloomed the white lily of fulhllment,
