The latest and the "unkindest cut

The Dolorous Way.

AS mortal man grows older he has
pains in hoof or shoulder, by a thOus-
and aches and wrenchings all his
weary frame is torn; he has headache
and hay fever till he is a stout believ-
err in the theory of the poet that the
race was made to mourn. He has govt
or rheumatism and he's prone to pes
simism, and he takes a thousand bal
sans, and the bottles strew the yard;
he has grip and influenza till his soul
is in a frenzy, and he longs to end the
journey for this life is beastly hard.
And his systems revolution is Dame
Natures retribution for the folly of
his conduct in the days of long ago;
in his anguish nearly fainting he is
paying for the painting, for the was
sail and the ruffing that his evenings
used to know. We may dance and
have our inning in our manhood's
bright beginning, but we all must pay
the fiddler, pay him soon or pay him
late, and a million men are paying
for the dancing and the playing, who
are charging up their troubles to mis-
fortune or TO fate.-Walt Mason.

ACCIDENTS TOO COMMON.

The auto accident which resulted in
the death of young Martin Dugan,
south of Vail Saturday night, belongs
/ to a class of accidents which are be-
coming too common and which must
be prevented if it requires the most
drastic legislation to accomplish this
result.
Drivers Of cars seem incapable of
approaching the danger which comes
from handling these machines and un-
til they are made to understand the
grave responsibility on one who drives
car it must be expected that acct
dents will continue. The practice of
enabling a person who buys a ma
chine spending an hour or two with
the dealer from whom he makes the
purchase, in driving car and is then
made to understan dthat he is cap
able Of handling it, is all mistake.
No one should be permitted to drive
car in which others are carried I'M
til he has served an apprenticeship
sufficient to demonstrate his fitness to
safely handle the car under all circun-
stances.
Too many young men are permitted
to drive a car. 1t seems that young
men are most ambitious to assume
the responsibility and are INDUCED to
such an extent that they are permitted
to drive cars without having sufficient
judgment or experience to safely
handle car. The desire to make rec
Ords of speed seems to possess too
many drivers, with the result that
chances are taken of not only injur-
ing the driver, but those entrusted to
his care.
1t is safe where the highway is
known to be in perfect condition and
free from abrupt curves, but it too fire.
quently happens that distractions are
in the way that require the most Wig
liant care on the part of the Chauffeur
and if he has grown Over-cOnfident, is
inexperienced or is infatuated with
desire to make record for speed he
is apt to forget the dangers ahead, and
to rush into them with unfortunate
results such as happened to this young
man on Saturday night. We do not
charge that he was careless in any re-
spect. because we are not sufficiently
familiar with the facts surrounding the
case, but we do assert that it is too

riding and to forget the dangers that
beset them.
We think the law should limit the
speed of cars in the country as we'll
as in the city and that anyone who
violates the law should be adequately
punished. There is scarcely day in
which the newspapers do not report
the death of one or more persons on
account of reckless driving of auto
mobiles and this will continue until
the state takes hold of the matter and
provides proper and safe regulations
in handling these dangerous convey
anceS.

A Disappointed Des Moines.

1t has now been pretty nigh settled
that the "Great Lincoln Highway
will not pass through Des Moines, the
largest and most important city in
Iowa. 1t is a disappointment to our
boosters; but after all it is disap-
pointment they can endure, after the
first sting of defeat ceases to smart
The plan now is, and it will not in all
probability be changed, to touch Gin
ton, Dewitt, Cedar Rapids, Tama, Mar
shalltown, State Center, Ames, Boone,
Grand Junction, Jefferson, Carroll,
Denison, Logan and Council Bluffs
Des Moines, with Polk and adjoining
counties, doubtless would have con-
tributed freely if the great highway
could have been brought along the
River to River" line; and it would
have been of an immense value to all
property touched by it; but suppose
We take a rational view of the mat
ter, and as Ames is the nearest point
it will touch Des Moines and Polk,
contiguous counties, why not concen-
trate all our energies, our money and
our skill in building road from Des
Moines to Ames and tap this great
highway at it's nearest point and thus
be virtually 'in touch" with this ma
tional road that is to be? Eventually
a broad highway will be built across
the state from River to River" and
with direct connection running from
Des Moines to Ames it may be the be-
ginni,)5 of southern road from the
Missouri to the borders of Minnesota.
That would give Des Moines and Cen
trail Iowa boost worth more than
any railroad line which could pos
sibly be built in the same direction,
and would make Des Moines the
Queen of the West. If this is con-
sidered fanciful, by hardheaded men,
it can be worked out in due time. The
Lincoln highway was a dream only a
few months ago, and there is senti-
ment enough in it to arouse every
patriotic man in the nation Just
the name and the idea of honoring it
with highway which can be of use
to people from one end of the coun-
try to the other will perpetuate the
name of one of the greatest men who
ever lived in America, and send that
name down the line in a way never
to be forgotten. The most costly
monument ever erected can only be
looked upon by few; but this monu-
mental highway can be used by the
humblest man who ever trod shoe

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

If there was anything the democrat
ic party stood for prior to the
election of Woodrow Wilson, It
was the movement started to prevent
the representatives of all political
parties from soliciting subscriptions
for campaign purposes from public
officials and persons otherwise in the
employ Of the government. This was
the attitude of the democratic party
when the republican party was in
power. Now it seems change has
come over the spirit of their dreams.
The agitation started several years
ago on the question resulted in law
being passed by congress prohibiting
person soliciting public official
or anyone in the employ of the gov
eminent for campaign purposes. 1t is
most amazing that within the last few

And shall we conclude, as Maine
went so goes the progressive party?'
inquiries the Waterloo Times-Tribune.
The Cedar Rapids Republican calls
attention to the great opportunity Sen
ator Cummins missed when he failed,
or refused, to go into the Maine dis
trict which went republican the other
day, after he had been invited to go
there and help reorganize the party
''They reorganized it without him,
the Republican continues. "But what
all opportunity it would have afforded
an ambitious man to say that he did
it."
"Those who are looking for repbu-
lican harmony next year will find it,
if at all, along some other line than
insurgent management in the next re-
publican campaign" says the Iowa
City Republican.
The Mason City Globe-GaZette says
that with the predicted price of corn,
the theft OF single ear will be con-
sidered grand larceny.
Good roads will never be built by
mere talk" says the Des Moines Cap
ital. "In Iowa at least it would seem
to be high time for concerted action.
In the Maine district, where re-
publican was elected to congress, the
progressives and democrats cast about
5000 more votes than were received
by the republican candidate, says the
Iowa City Republican. If this percent
ags holds good in Iowa next year, SEN
ator Cummins will have hard shedding.
The Charles City Press says the
anxiety of Senator Cummins for the
republican party will impress the av-
erage citizen OF Iowa as humorous, to
say the least, because of the personal
interest involved and because in years
past the senator has derided party al
legiance and scoffed at party loyalty.
The Des Moines Tribune says that
tariff reform is going to arrive too late
winter clothing.
Maine republicans know how to
'reorganize' the republican party"
says the Eagle Grove Eagle. "The on
ly way is the Maine way, every re-
publican vote the ticket"
-
The Iowa City Press says the Thaw
case is simply an object lesson in the
number of loopholes high priced law
yers can find in the law of the land.
q
Democrats who believe the tariff
will reduce the cost of living should
not be disheartened over the way
prices have been going up during the
last year, says the Sioux City Journal.
The higher prices are when the new
tariff begins to get in it's beneficent
work the bigger the drop will be and
the more credit the democrats will
get for reducing the cost of living.

clared good many years ago against

than the junior senator began feeling
sorry and caught it in the proof
sheet in time to expunge it from the
Record. The junior senator should
try not to be so impulsive.-Sioux
