of school and Institutional outbreaks
of diphtheria are therefore coming to
be focused on the detection and ex-
clusion of the carrier. Distinction of
innocent chairs and tables and en-
forced school closure are In general
found to be less effective than the
discovery and isolation Of the living
bearer Of diphtheria germs. When
school attendance is regulated by bac-
teriologic findings school epidemics
quickly subside.

THE KENYON SHEPARD. WEBB LAW.

Passage OF the Kenyon shepard bill
and the Webb house bill which are sub
stantially alike puts the legislation
thru congress. The president will sign
and the courts will be called upon to
decide as to its constitutionality. So
ator Root has admitted the right Of
congress to deny liquor the right TO
interstate commerce What the court
which has the last guess-shall say
is another story. but good guess is
that the Kenyon law will be upheld.
Good law is good sense. 1t is good
that to send liquor into a state for il
legal purposes shall be unlawful and
that privilege be denied TO vendors out
side the state boundaries. That is what
the Kenyon law says.
Iowa has certain restrictive liquor
laws. 1t would appear from COM
mon sense view that she has as much
right to stop Illegal shipments Of liquor
at the state line as TO deny entry TO
shipments Of livestock against which
she has enacted quarantine laws.
The Kenyon bill does not seriously
affect the persona. liberty of the bona
fide purchaser of liquors for lawful
usage. The person who has been get
ting his cellar supplies for his own use
may keep on getting them. The boot
logger and the blind pig and the law
violator will find their shipments en-
barrassed.
There is no ban on shipments for
lawful uses. Perhaps the law may
seem scarcely stringent enough 20 some
temperance people by that reason.
However, there is nothing between
these people and new laws but che leg
islature. It is now a state question
and Iowa can make laws to Mt II.

AN OCEAN TO OCEAN HIGHWAY.

| The report is out that the members
of congress at Washington are serious
| ly considering the building at federal
expense of one or two magnificent
! overland highways or scenic routes
| across the continent from coast to
coast. The suggestion first gained
| publicity in an offer of certain large
cessories to contribute to a fund which
was estimated at as much as 100000
600 from private contributions which
| should be conditioned upon a like
| amount from the federal government
! and local aid all along the route.
Such a highway, if constructed.
would, in very few years, be the
scene of an enormous volume of over
! land motor travel. There would prob
| ably be a stream of travel over such
a route as the motor parties gathered
I would keep one motor car in sight Of
| another thruout a sixteen hour day
! during the entire motor season. The
route would undoubtedly be laid out to
! traverse the big cities and scenic spots
of the continent
! AT Washington it is believed that
routes across the continent. north
! ern route and southern route and
/ that because of the scenic wonders
Iof Colorado the northern route would
cross Iowa. This is what has stirred
those located on the various Iowa
routes to activity to secure the ma
tional highway nearest to them. II
the appropriation is actually attempted
the strife for the route will repeat the
early day struggles of communities for
the location of railway lines for the
+! advantages will be almost as great
But inasmuch as the Transcontinental
route across Iowa was originally the
official government road to its western
forts known as the "OverlaEu Trail"
and is now. the route of easiest grades
! the enthusiasts of this route believe
| that they stand a chance to win the
| location of the north highway cross the
continent
! That the congress is considering
some plan for encouraging road i'm
| provement Is certain from the circular
letter sent out by Senator Bourne this
week. chairman Of the senate commit
tee on postoffices and post roads. He
asks a series of questions as to what
the federal government should do to
help in the road movement, whether to
substitute all permanent roads or to
build federal roads 1t is to be pre-
suned that his committee is seeking
to test public sentiment on the road
tquestion and il may follow that tho
ocean to ocean highways is in mind or
a general policy Of federal a id and sub
sidy TO encourage the building of per-
manent roads turnout the states.

SNORT SIGHTED IOWA CITY.

THE fsve-mile bill has been reported
out by the house committee. inns is
the proposed law long talked of and
agitated which, if it becomes a stat

committee to argue against the Dill.

Of that university town has done more

Some idea of the good roads work
rema ming to be done in Dubuque
county may be had from the fact that
of the 1850 miles of road in the coun-
ty only 100 miles are permanently inn
proved. And there has been followed
in their improvement no settled plan,
a road thru bad slough being made
now and bad hill road improved at
another time.
No member OF the board Of super
visors will seriously contend that this
county has got the value Of it's money
for the outlay on rural roads. Most
of the supervisors will admit that half
the money has been wasted thru inef-
ficiency and injudicious expenditures.
And hardly one of them but believes
the present system wrong and a
change imperative.

TDes Moines Tribune.1


A bill requiring county supervisors
to furnish bonds of not less than $4,000
for the faithful performance of their
duties was reported out for passage by
The judiciary committee.-Y yesterdays
legislative report.
The lcgisla ture should not make two
bites Of cherry If it is going to legis-
visors.
Ii is matter of common knowledge
that official bonds amount to nothing
as an insurance of efficiency. and in
more than one legislature il has been
proposed to abandon bonding alto
gether.
The county supervisor is belated
survival of frontier conditions. In the
early days it was necessary for a few
neighbors to get together and give an
| hour or two Of their time to the COM
munity business.
Today the county is a big business
institution. A county like Polk needs
the constant business attention OF
| trained men. A few good citizens can
not be called in a few hours a week
and do the business OF any thrifty
! Iowa county as it should be done.
! It would be much more to the point
to make the supervisor salaried Of
| fetal and pay him the highest salary
! drawn by county official. There
should be fewer of him. and he should
! DO business tor the whole county.
