lie throughout the entire country to be
the only successor Of the Old Homestead

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
lnefsiciency Costs Southern States
$500, 900, 900 a Year to Cart Cot
ton to Railroads.

The cost of bad roads is strikingly
set forth by VIM. C. Redfield, secre.
tary of commerce in President VIII
sons cabinet, in this manner:
The inef1ciency arising from bad
roads makes it cost something like
$500, 100000 year to cart our cot
ton crop from the fields to the rail.
way station. think few people real.
lie the immense tax put on us all by
bad roads and inefficient handling
have said that If our farmers
once realized the awful tax that bad
roads impose upon them public opin-
ion would sternly demand the max
ing and maintaining Of good roads
everywhere. 1t now costs the farmer
twelve, yes, twenty or more, times
as much per ton mile to move his
goods to the railway station as It
does to move them on the railway
after they leave the station. The
farmer, indeed, in bad cases and at
certain seasons may have to pay as
much as 81 ton mile, while the
railroad carries the freight, when 1t
once gets it, at an average of three.
quarters of cent per ton mile.
Among the factors which bring up
the cost of living there are few
which stand ahead of the useless cost
Of transportation, due to poor and
often impossible roads. Poor roads
not only make the consumer pay
more for produce, but they rob the
producer of that which should be
added to the price paid him for his
produce. There are few subjects on
which the public is so unanimous as
this one of the cost of poor roads, and
yet at the same time few subjects on
which it is harder to make people
agree as to the remedy and where
the initiative sh0uld be taken.

Must Burn Diseased Hogs.

The case arising from the scare caus-
ed last week in Illyria township, when
logs that had died from cholera were
washed down stream in flood, resulted
in Wilbur Patterson being fined SIS and
costs Friday forenoon by Judge Hob
son. County Attorney Hughes began
action before justice of the peace,
but Mr.. Patterson was making ar
rangemepts to move to Colorado and
and so desired to plead guilty and get
the matter disposed of. He came to
West Union, Friday morning pleaded
guilty, and took fine of $25 and colts.
The claim was that Mr.. Patterson had
dumped the carcasses of his cholera
hogs into bitches instead of burying
them, and that when high water came
they were washed from there into Mink
creek and thence into the Volga river.
and we're distributed by those streams
on the land of farmers living below the
Patterson place. But it comes as a
surprise that even had Mr. Patterson
buried his hogs deep in the ground, he
would still have been going contrary
to the statutes of Iowa, which require
every man whose hogs dieIof cholera or
any other disease to burn the carcasses
Burying, no matter how thorough the
job may be, will not do; burning is the
only way of disposal that the law per.

MEXICAN SITUATION
STILL UNCHANGED
Bryan Says He. Has Only Rou'
tine Messages From Lind.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Secretary
Bryan remained at the state depart
mcnt for news from Mexico until a
few minutes before his train left for
the Maryland shore, where he was to
lecture.
AS he fastened away in his carriage
he declared that nothing had been re-
ceived except messages relating to
the movements of American citizens in
the southern republic.
Earlier in the day the secretary had
conferred with Senator Bacon, chair
man OF the foreign relations commit
tee, and both stated no further sug-
gestions had been made by Special
Envoy Lind to the Huerta government
ond that no overtures from the Mexi-
can side had been made.
Reports from Torreon that six
Americans had been killed received
no verification in state department ad-
vices, but a bulletin was forwarded
to the department from the American
consul general at Monterey, stating
that five Americans, who left Torreon
last Monday had been accounted for,
three of them reaching Monterey Sat
urday night and two remaining at
Reata to dispose of their horses.
According to state department ad.
vices the Americans who reached
Monterey reported that they were we'll
treated by all Mexicans with whom
they came in contact.
They said the federals still held
Torreon, while the revolutionists con-
trOlled Gomez Paacio and LerdO.

Our Washington Letter.

No matter what the future develop
ments in Mexico may be, President
Wilson has won the confidence of the
country by his statesman-iike handling
of critical international crisis.
Every step possible has been taken at
every stage of the negotiations to
bring about a restoration of peace in
Mexico without recourse to interven-
ton on the part of this government.
President Wilson'S course has been
that of the broad, far.seeing states
man, ruled by humanitarian impulses,
who realized that belligerent attitude
might embroil this country in war
continuing for years and costing the
lives of thousands of Americas sons.
Had he been a sensation seeker, the
opportunity was ripe when he prepared
and read his message to Congress to
assume a defiant attitude and take
steps from which the government
could not recede without taking hand
in the Mexican trouble.
President Wilson made it plain that
he had not taken an aggressive POSI-
ton to safeguard the Investments OF
Americans in Mexico, or to extend the
field of commerce and enterprise IN
Mexico. It was the human element
that appealed to him. He saw neigh
boring country torn with internal strife
and reduced to extreme poverty. he
set about to aid in the restoration OF
peace by moral force. Yet he was
firm in demanding that no peace plan
in which this nation played a part
should include recognition of the
Huerta regime. An administration
coming into power by treachery and
assassination was not one that he
would recognize, and his plan OF
settling the trouble contemplated the
permanent retirement of Huerta and
the calling of elections, properly safe
guarded by l; general armistice, during
which period a constitutional election
SuOulQ NC ucIO. ny hhS0AiS sAA~
Mexican people would be given an
to end the present Huerta
and name men OF their
own choosing to put a stop to the civil
strife kept alive to further Huerta's
ambitious plans. In these demands
the President has had the support OF |
Congress. the press and the people.
The lingo has been silenced.
(. Civil war veterans from all parts OF
the cour try have written their con-
gressmen asking them to support the
bill introduced by Congressman Kirk
patrick of the sixth district providing |
for the payment of pensions monthly
instead of quarterly as at present.
Kirkpatrick as member
of the pensions committee has been
active in furthering the interests OF
the veterans. He enjoys the distinc-
lion of being one of the three civil war
veterans in the House.
