value. These expenditures have been

institution and should be representa-
tive Of the state Of Iowa. Now that
all that has been done, let the Iowa
state fair lay aside its swaddlins

tinued success without further state
aid.
Does the Perry suggestion appear
sweetly reasonable at this distance?
One can hear q director Of the Inter-
state Fair association rising to remark
that II his Organization could be guar
anteed half as good q plant as the Des
Moines fair has and half al large an
annual profit as the Des Moines fair Is
now making it would promise never
again to ask dollar of help by sub

the height Of folly from the Des Moines
viewpoint. The competent reply to the
Perry suggestion is offered by the Des
Moines Register and Leader 1t de.
velops that the Perry suggestion, as 1t
appears right in the shadow OF the fair
buildings. is irrevelant and immatertal.
You see 1t is this way. or at least as
it SO appears down in the capital city:
While it Is an Iowa institution the state
fair must be maintained on scale
equal to that maintained by Minne-
sofa. Wisconsin and Illinois So long
as these states keep spending money
to make their state fairs bigger and
better every year Iowa must do like

lesson learned from the state fairs In
other states. and from the fair at Des
Moines as observed at close range. IL
that the more one spends the more one
has to spend. The moral Of which Is
apparently that the more money the
Iowa state fair makes, the more money
the state will have to invest in order
to enable the fair to make still more
money. And SO on ad infinitum.

seem to be in for repetition OF the

GIVE THEM THE GUNS.

An assertion reiterated by Messrs.
Madero and Gonzalez, the two young
Mexicans who appeared before the
Searchlight Club last evening, was that
IL the embargo against arms and NUM-
lions Of war for the constitutionalists
were lifted the Mexican difficulty would
settle itself within six weeks. Their
opinion matches with that Of others
whose knowledge of the situation is
based on understanding and close OBJ
servation Of the situation.
There isn't much doubt that the pro-
posed solution Of the problem appealed
to nine tenths Of those who heard the
young men put the proposition. There
is very definite opposition to any
move that includes armed intervention
by the United States The American
people are very much disinclined and
for good reasons to an interference
which might cost the lives of American
soldiers involve years of harrassing
and costly labor on the part Of this
government and that fails as matters
stand to afford just cause for its in
ception. But the average citizen does
not understand why the United States
should protect a brutal and tyrannical
usurper by denying the privilege to buy
arms and ammunition that would bring
about quick settlement Of the present
war in one way or another.
All in all 1t looks like the easiest
way and the fairest way to throw down
the bars and afford the revolutionists
the means of proving their claims that
they can end the war in few weeks.
1t Is a Mexican fight between Mexicans
and to be fought between Mexicans.
Furthermore the history and the spirit
of this country inclines toward sym
PATTY with men who refuse to be gov
erned by tyrants and who find revolt
and war preferable to submission to
such absolutiSm as that of the Huerta
regime. Moreover, If the two young
men who came to the Scar chlight Club
ere truly representative of the constitu-
.ionalists in intelligence and open
mindedness the prospect OF good gov
eminent and general advancement Of
Mexico under such administration and
control seems one scarcely to be mis-.
trusted

THE UNwELcoME ISSUE.
Davenport Democrat1

u
Legislatures elected on LIQUOR and
other issues have been electing United
States senators from this state, and
last year the senatorial contest itself
injected most unwelcome issue-for
the democrats-into the election OF the
Legislature. Senator Kenyon became
the legislative issue. Had it not been
that Senator Kenyon's return to Wash
lngton depended upon the election Of a
republican assembly, the chances were
good that Iowa would elect a demo-
cratic legislature. AS it was, Senator
henyon's personal popularity carried a
lot OF republican candidates for the
legislature into office. Hereafter local
issues Will not interfere with the choice
CT senator, nor will the choice of O
senator cloud the state issues.

CLASSIFICATION OF ROADS.
CDeS MOineS Capffa11


While the farmer objects to CLASH
ffcation of roads, as provided for in the
new road law, the farmer himself has
been responsible for this classification,
according to H. G. Beard Of the high
way commission. For years certain
highways have been picked as the main
roads and used more extensively by
farmers than other roads. That these
main roads be improved is the idea Of
the new law. Mr.. Beard says. Mr..
Beard Is responsible for the statement
that 80 per cent Of the traffic may be
accommodated by 35 per cent OF the
roads. This does not mean that 90
per cent Of the people will be accom-
modated but 80 per cent Of the total
traffic. The position which the demo-
cratic member Of the commission takes
is that the law comprehends carrying
out plans already contemplated by viz
tue Of the natural courses Of travel
established by traffic, both from town
and country, long before the present
road law was ever thought Of.

The office Of the Georgia state board
OF health at Atlanta was recently COM
PEELED to close by an epidemic Of diph-
iberia among the officers and en-
pIoyes. Ten persons were affected.
Only the secretary and one other ply
stefan escaped the disease. The Sec
rotary Of the board Is reported to have
said that the disease was contracted
from specimens which were so care
lessly prepared by the physicians who
sent them in that no indication was
given OF what the packages contained.
Ordinary envelopes, 1t Is said, were
sent In containing portions OF mem
brane placed between pieces Of card

tained cotton swabs which fell out
