The man who will venture out in
to the open and attack corruption in
high places and low should merit
the confidence of everybody until it
can be demonstrated that he is act
uated by selfish motives. Such men
display the heroic spirit and no man
can show it long without in some
way betraying the secret OF his con-
duct. Time is either good or severe
to reformers. All depends upon
themselves. The great names which
grace history's pages We're rendered
immortal by virtue of the fact that
there was a character back of each
one. There was manhood and nobly
disinterested spirit.

A GOOD RECORD.

The Freeman-Tribune is glad to
commend Hon. Frank j. Lund for
the record he is making in the pres
ent legislature. He is active in his
faithfulness to the interests of the
people and is industriously striving
to do his duty as law-maker. He
is on some of the more important
committees of the house and is not
Sinking member, either.
Among the bills introduced by Mr..
Lund are the following:
One requiring the election of
farmers as members of the state fair
board.
One preventing the issuance of
free passes to the state fair.
One providing for the settlement
of all liabilities of the state growing
out of the sale of certain lands of
the Des Moines river.
One to equalize the assessments of
street improvements.
One for the reclamation of wet
lands by drainage and to aid in pub
fishing the proceedings of the an
nual conven ton of the Iowa state
drainage association. ~
One creating the Iowa state drain
age, waterways and conservation
commission.

to it that they get square deal all
around. The water power of the
country is one of the natural re-
sources and ought to be used in the
interest of the people. If the peo-
pie do not now look after their own

ure generations will pay the penal
ty. Some of the cities that gave
away valuable franchises a number
of years ago now regret it, but it is
too late to remedy the matter.

Mayor Valentine.

The Journal has no patience with
those who are suggesting an indie
pendent candidate against E. E.
Valentine at the election March 81.
The people have spoken in no I'M
certain terms and the politicians
would better accept the verdict
Journal.
The Freeman-Tribune has not
heard any serious talk of candi-
date against Mr. Valentine and so
far as it is concerned it will support
him. AS this paper said during the
campaign, Mr.. Valentine is a good
man and citizen and in every way
worthy of the confidence and respect
of the people. That he will make a
record alike creditable to himself
and to the city may be expected. If
Mr.. Valentine had not secured the
nomination fairly there would be
justification for carrying the fight
to the election, but no such question
has been raised and if raised it
could not be, sustained. 1t is said,
however, that enough nonresidents
voted in the Fourth ward to nOmi-
nate Mr.. Helmick for councilman.
Whether this report has any founda-
ton in fact or not the Freeman
Tribune doesn't know, but it is in
clined to believe that Mr.. Helmick
won fairly. -

OCEAN TO OCEAN ROAD.

Boone News-Republican: The re-
port is out that the members Of
congress at Washington are serious
ly considering the building at feder-
al expense Of one or two magnificent
overland highways or scenic routes
across the continent from coast to
coast The suggestion first gained
publicity in an offer of certain large
manufacturers of automobiles and
accessories to contribute to a fund
which was estimated at as much as
S1O,OO0,O0O from private contribu-
tons which should be conditioned
upon like amount from the federal
government and local aid all along
the route. s..
And the Times-Republican of
Marshalltown says that such
highway if constructed would, in a
very few years, be the scene of an
enormous volume of overland motor
travel. There would be stream OF
travel over such a route as the mo-
tor parties gathered from all the
states in the union that would keep
one motor car in sight of another
throughout sixteen hour day dur
ing the entire motor season. The
route would undoubtedly be laid out
to traverse the big cities and scenic
spots of the continent.
At Washington it is believed that
those of influence have in mind two
routes across the continent, north
ern route and, southern route and
that because of the scenic wonders
of Colorado the northern route
would cross Iowa This is what has
stirred those located on the various
Iowa routes to activity to secure the
national highway nearest to them.
II the appropriation is actually at
tempted the strife for the route will
repeat the early day struggles of
of the location OF rail-
way lines for the advantages will be
almost as great. But inasmuch as
the Transcontinental route across
Iowa was originally the official gov
eminent road to its western forts
known as the Overland trail and
is now the route of easiest grades
the enthusiasts of this route believe
that they stand a chance to win the
location of the north highway across
the continent.
That the congress is considering
some plan for encouraging road i'm
provement is certain from the cir
cular letter sent out by Senator
Bourne this week, chairman of the
senate committee on postoffices and
post roads. He asks series of
questions as to what the federal gov
eminent should do to help the road
whether to subsidize all
permanent roads or to build federal
roads. 1t is 10 be presumed that his
committee is seeking to test public
sentiment on the road question and
it may follow that the ocean to
ocean highway is in mind or gen.
eral policy of federal aid and sub
sidy TO encourage the building of
permanent roads throughout the
states.
