STATE FAIR FARES.

Why not one and one-half cent
Des Moines Register and Leader.
The Register and Leader goes on
to argue thence for the special
rate to the state fair on the grounds
that the railroads have voluntarily
made such rate Of themselves in the
past and that this fact is one to be con-
sidered. 1t points out also that the
railroads are not as several news
papers evidently assume"
To fall back on the plea tina, they are
entitled to fat cent fare, for every
depot in Iowa is filed with hangers
announcing special rates to various
points east and west. not only volun-
.tArily granted by the railroads buI ad-
verteed and pushed. all OF them at
much below the cent mile rate. AT
this moment excursion rates are offered
Sin Des Moines to Minneapolis and re-
turn 1t considerably less than IA

If fair profit accrues at hauling
passengers at IL cents per mile there
fact there has been no such protest
which has come directly under the
notice Of the Times-Republican. Most
iof the chilliness toward the ~ cent
proposal arises from the fact that it Is
evidently applicable mainly If not en-
airely to the state fair and the impress
sion that It is Des Moines scheme
TO gather greater crowds for that oc-
,ampelling impulse behind the bill a
great many people have been willing 70
suggest 1t and others have accepted the
suggestion.
1t Is a matter for inquiry. First off
the passengers to the state fair anG ali
other passengers whether special or
ordinary should be supplied ordinarily
respectable accommodations They
should have seats to sit in and freedom
from dirty and even filthy conditions.
That is the first consideration. Under
the excursion plan shortage Of equip
ment and anxiety TO haul the biggest
crowd for the least money have made
excursion trains extremely uncomfort-
able and dangerous. These conditions
are the first necessity OF amendment.
Whether the -: cen: fare law wins
or loses safety and reasonable comfort
should be enforced by the commission.
A matter OF so cents saved on 100

II is likely tina, more miles can be
made in one day in safety and comfor:
over Iowa roads today than over any
roads in the United States.
No paved road can compare with an
Iowa dir, road when the Iowa dirt
road is smooth and dry.
But an hours rain is enough TO make
the dirt road unsafe for automobiles.
and a few hours rain to make ii heavy

The ideal road for Iowa is hard

Iowa can have better roads at less

WHAT WILL THE WOMEN DO.

When women are given the full right
to vote and hold office what will they
do, advance women as candidates for
office? Such experience as the equal
suffrage states furnish leads to the
conclusion that women Will vote mainly
for men and that men will continue to
make adme, administer and execute the
Jaws.
A California newspaper, the Sacra-
mento Union, after the short experience
20 fthat state in equal suffrage, con-
,cIudes:
First, that among women voters there
IS prejudice in favor Of men in elect
Eve offices; second, that men as rule
prefer to transact business, public or
,private. with their own sex rather than
with the other. and that the majority
<pf he male vote will usually De cast for
male candidates: and, third, as in none
eof the older equal suffrage states has
there been large percentage Of office
,holding women, the experience Of Cali
9ornia and Illinois will be similar.
Miss Jane Adams, replying TO the
appeal Of woman candidate in Illinois,
who urges female candidates. for Chi
.caeo aldermanic Offices On the plea
shat "Now that we have the vote, we
want Office. The ballot will not do US
,ayn good so long as We elect only men
They make promises to get our votes
and then do as they please when they
Eget into Office"
Says, 81 think 1t would be I'M
wise foT TIC wcnen of Illinois TO seek
or accept public Offices until they have
had a few years experience as voters.
we must go slowly in politics until We
find our feet Our new privileges and

There isn't much doubt that Iowa is
ready to institute equal suffrage.
swould not be surprising If the next
session Of the Iowa Legislature sub

surprising should it fail when sub

woman suffrage would be likely to
bring about in this state are not many

important Offices and women would vote
for them Considered from partisan
standpoint there would be little doing
The effect would be local rather than
general. And it would be almost en-
