pAYToN,s DEAD HORSES.

Dayton knew at once that the toll
of the flood would be as nothing com,
pared to the pestilence, unless atten-
ton and energy were directed to
sanitary problems. In the daily ex-
hortations in the free newspapers dis
tributed throughout the city, in a
thousand ways, Dayton declared again
and again:
Sanitation first and foremost Then
everything else"
Such was the spirit of the members
of the Dayton Bicycle Club, when
they met as the waters receded from
their club house TO consider what
service they could best render to
their stricken city, and volunteered to
remove the dead animals strewn In
the streets, says the Survey.
The Dayton Bicycle Club showed
wisdom. Nearly every horse in the
more than seven square miles Of the
city that was under the water-and
this area contained ali the important
livery stables-was drowned, and
quick action was needed to remove
the bodies to prevent serious results.
A sanitary department was organized
and as rapidly IS automobile trucks
and wagons were volunteered, they
were pressed into service. Over 100
vehicles and about 600 men were en-

ton. Politics, as practiced, is, essen
tally, a militant affair. The political
party is closed concern, almost.
Members are jealous of their mem.

of the army never comes INTO high
Office. In the hurly-burly of politics
the penitent is not given much con
sideration; the prodigal son is lucky
provided he gets crust Senator
Cummins deserted his party at the
most critical time in the party's his.
tory. He was with the enemy, pub
licly, if not on the firing line. It was
not even case of sulking in the
tent. He was. publicly, with the op.
position. The senator hesitated for
months before finally determining on
his course, SO that his choice was
made after careful generalization. He
made his bed with all due delibera,
ton. It was no hasty action. There
fore he must assume all responsibility
for his acts before his party men.

IOWA LAND HISTORY

/ Seventy years ago, on Nav /. 1919,
central Iowa was opened UP for settle
ment according to the terms of a
treaty made with the Sac and Fox In
dams during the previous year by
John Chambers, Governor of the Ter
ritcry Of Iowa. Concerning this i'm
portant event DR.. John C. Parish
writes as follows in his biography Of
Governor Chambers. published by the
State Historical Society of Iowa:
On May |, 1s43, the Sacs and
Foxes We're to be west of their new
boundary line and the track they had
occupied would be open to the whites:
for, though the law decreed that sur

for 1t is doubtful if there was much
sleep in those priarie camps that
night. All up and down the division
iine watches and clocks licked away
steadily, and when their hands drew
near the top of the dial torches were
lit. At the hour of midnight, marked
by the firing of guns. the eager pion-
GERS crossed the line and almost be-
fore the echo was stilled were driving
stakes into the prairie by the light of
flaring torches. Thus did civilization

The state of Iowa is 21o miles long
and 300 miles wide at It's extreme
points. It's area is 5s.o25 square
miles. Texas has the largest area
of any state in the union, having
265,7S0 square miles. 1t Is four and
three-fourths times as large as Iowa.
and yet Iowa crops annually exceed
in value those of Texas by many mil
lions. In 1909, according to the fig,
ures, OF the last census. Iowa's crops
exceeded those of Texas by $685.

Is SO valuable. and why there Is

Throw off the worries that trouble and

Start the day right and you'll find as

Something to live for and some

Note the bright streams and the

But nothing can battle climber for.

The Question Answered.

Iowa City Republican: The cues
tion What is the third party with
out T. r., has been answered in the
elections of Chicago and st. Louis.
In Chicago the 'progressiyes' polled
only one-fourth as many votes as the
Republicans, running about even
with the socialists. and in st. Louis
the Republicans won everything, with
the third party vote a negligible fac
tor. although full ticket was in the
field. All of the third party members
will not return to the Republican
ranks. Many of them will go over to
the Democrats. but as a party, the
Moosers will hardly survive the next
